About this property

A private waterfront setting, in the middle of 43 acres on Lake Ida

A private remote Island setting, a "FISHERMAN'S PARADISE" direct lake front, in the middle of 23 undeveloped acres. A great view of Lake Ida. Plenty of wildlife; from birds to butterflies including our beloved peacocks (Lady Bird) perches on the fence and loves to entertain you. The studio is about the size of a motel room with kitchenette, private bath, private entrance and patio. A king size bed that can be converted to 2 twin beds (special request in advance). Best suited for singles or short term rentals.
Ideal for artists, photographers, bird watchers, authors, athletes, kayaking, fishing (one of our guests won a $100 reward for catching a tagged Small Mouth Bass from our dock, see recent photo) or simply watching water skiers , boaters, jet skiers, paddle boarders, ("LET US ENTERTAIN YOU") . Just 22 blocks from Delray's buzzing nightlife; shopping, museums, antique shops and 5 star restaurants. The Avenue is home to "The Delray Affair, Art on the Avenue, various food tasting events, the Green Market, Garlic Festival, Wine Tasting events and more. Every weekend hosts a special event of some sort. Or just a casual walk to Atlantic Ocean to swim, sail, surf or eat at one of the famous beach restaurants. Holidays host firecracker events, yoga at sunrise, Christmas Boat Parade. Lake Ida participates in our own resident Decorated Boat Parade. Grab our kayak, and tag along enjoying the shoreline multi-million dollar decorated waterfront homes. At 7am each morning (weather permitted) you can watch our mysterious water skiers practice jumps and tricks of all kinds. Never a dull moment, but privacy and seclusion prevail.

My wife and I just finished our five day visit to this location. It is set in the middle of 40 acres on a private road. The lake is surrounded with million dollar homes. We kayaked, used the swim in place whirlpool with hot tub. Arlene was a great hostess and took care of any issues. There were five peacocks near our building and added a special ambience to the place. It was 10 minutes to the Dunes State Park Beach (rent umbrella and chairs) and Boynton and Delray Beaches. There were plenty of good places to eat within minutes of the room. We enjoyed prime catch for seafood and first watch for breakfast/brunch. There are also jet skis for rent. We didn’t get a chance to use them.

Peaceful retreat

I was overly impressed by the location, right on the lake. The grounds are kept immaculate and the people there were extremely nice. I felt completely at peace during my extended stay. They kept me informed about cleaning times and anything that may come up. I would highly recommend this place. It is definitely a getaway so close to downtown Delray.

Amazing Stay

This is such a beautiful property and the weather was amazing. Arlene was so kind and accommodating. I loved the cozy room, it was so comfy for me! Kayaking around the lake was very relaxing, and I caught a bunch of fish too: Peacock Bass, Clown Knifefish, Snakeheads, Gar and Catfish. There's even more species of fish in this lake too. Seeing the peacocks and iguanas around the property was so cool. I would definitely come back, and hope to soon! Arlene's great!

About the host

Hosted by Arlene H Malloch

Host profile image
We're originally from suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, St. Clair Shores. We moved here some 30 years ago to enjoy the amenities of lake front living; water skiing, jet skiing, boating, fishing and more. The family grew up and away. It is our pleasure to enjoy the many guests, friends and family we've acquired thru VRBO . It is our hope to share the wonders of Lake Ida living for years to come. We look forward to meeting you.

Why they chose this property

We are in the middle of 23 undeveloped acres. The location is private, secluded and just 22 blocks from the activities of "The Avenue, in Delray Beach. Ideal location for R & R, nature lovers, photographers, athletes, bikers and more. The views are spectacular, activities are boundless. Our home is approaching 100 year old cottage. However, completely renovated, clean and ready. The studios are like "tiny Homes" with comfortable beds, stocked kitchenettes, BBQ, updated bath, private entrance, patio and gated yard. Parking available. My favorite pastime is watching the lake activities, critters roaming and Peacocks. A little bit of Heaven on Earth.

What makes this property unique

The PRIVACY. A favorite retreat for TV personalities, a radio psychic, fishermen, professional DJ's, artists, photographers, parents and grandparents visiting local children and more. The LOCATION. Close to shopping, museums, I95, restaurants 5 star, ocean and more. The COMPANY.
