This was a great stay for our work trip, with plenty of space to prepare meals and relax after work. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms meant we each had our own space, and the washer and dryer were a great touch. Brian was responsive and the listing is exactly as pictured.
My girlfriend and I rented the property for our anniversary, and we couldn’t have been happier! It was the perfect weekend getaway for us. It is a quiet neighborhood, and the house was immaculate! We couldn’t stop talking to each other about how perfect the house is!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and cozy. The host was very kind and responded quickly.

About the host
Hosted by Brian DeLaney
As a fifth-generation Floridian born right here in Highlands County, Florida’s Heartland isn’t just where I live. It’s home.
I grew up enjoying the outdoors and experiencing the beauty, history, and slower pace of what I like to call “Old Florida.” From our lakes and open spaces to our small towns and local traditions, this part of Florida has a character all its own.
That’s one of the reasons I love hosting. It gives me the opportunity to welcome travelers into the area I’ve called home my entire life and hopefully help them experience a little of what makes the Heartland of Florida so special.
Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay!
Why they chose this property
Avon Park Lakes is nestled in a unique area. It's small town charm and location makes it a perfect place to enjoy all that Central Florida has to offer. We are dead center of the state with only an hour and a half to each coast. 1+ hour to Disney, 35 minutes to Legoland. 1+ hour to Bush Gardens. This area is so beautiful with massive amounts of unspoiled Florida wilderness to explore. Highlands Hammock State park, Payne's Prairie State Park, Bok Tower Gardens are just some of the amazing places within an hour drive from Gladiola Dr.
