Amazing family getaway

This property is on a beautiful lake so boating and kayaking was easy and fun. The sunsets were spectacular! The house is newly renovated with beautiful decor, appliances and furnished every amenity we needed. We had a great time and would LOVE to come back again.

Fabulous Week at Crooked Lake

We have been going to Crooked Lake for 30+ years and this was one of our best weeks ever, thanks in large part to this beautiful home! The house had everything we needed for our family of 5. The boys especially loved the bunk beds and learning to kayak. Can’t wait to plan another trip!

Even better than the pictures!

This is a beautiful house with a great layout and plenty of space for groups. Especially at sunset, the view from the lanai is gorgeous, and inside was very clean and comfortable. Our host was very responsive and we'd love to stay here again. (Look for a request soon for next year at the same time!)

Awesome Lake Vacation

This property is truly amazing. It is clean, modern, has a beach, and has a private dock. Our family fished, played on the beach, and enjoyed the lake views. This property is completely set up for families and our toddler son enjoyed the toys. We plan to vacation here annually as this property gives you the comfort and amenities desired and more.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VIEWS

Unfortunately we didn’t stay long enough. Rented for 4 nights and was NOT ready to leave. We live on the east coast and had our daughter’s wedding in Lake Wales, so rented the house while we were there. This was probably the most relaxing stay we’ve ever had. The house is spacious, super clean, top notch decor, and the views were absolutely stunning! Unfortunately we didn’t get in until late the first night, but the host kept in touch and let us know it’s a dark area. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! Thank you :)

Outstanding property on Crooked Lake, much larger than what the pictures display even with the master not included. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we've seen in all of our stays at a VRBO across the country and the stocked coffee bar is a really nice taste and variety (to include decaf is most appreciated). The beach is super nice and great for hanging out, going for a swim beaching the boats, etc.. The grill is actually a griddle but was a nice surprise to make new creations as we don't have one at home. The small neighborhood is really friendly with people walking and riding bikes, and actually still wave at you and smile. Plenty of games to choose from and the Scrabble table is really nice and not a 20 set. If you are going to be beaching the boat overnight and need to charge, ensure you have 200' of cord as the closest outlet is on the porch. We only had two trucks with boat trailers and parking was fine, anything more than that you'll need to find an alternative parking area as parking on the grass is not an option and the driveway is shared with a neighbor. The hot water heater took a day to master, but there are instructions in the property binder on the island in the kitchen (just leave the sink hot water running at the same time, worked for us). All in all, this is a 5 out of 5-star property and one my wife has already instructed to make another reservation, but for a day or two longer!
