We stayed here for our son's wedding. It is a beautiful home in a safe, gated community. Only 10 minutes to Club Lake Wedding venue. The host was amazing and very responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this vacation rental.
The home was spacious and very comfortable. We had our family stay for a wedding. 8 adults and we enjoyed the home and location
We would definitely recommend it!
Super clean, neat and very spacious home, we had everything we needed and more. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of utensils and glassware for a party of 10. Bedrooms are super comfy with a master to die for!!! One of the best properties we have ever stayed in; Michele (owner) was a delight to deal with, always quick and on point with instructions and recommendations. We highly recommend this property!!!
We had decided that gifts at Christmas didn’t stay as memories so we booked a weekend to make some! The only downfall was the playground was cleared out to add new. Of course this didn’t bother the grands!
This five-bedroom home was clean, spacious, and perfect for our group. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, and the common areas ideal for gathering. The host was responsive and check-in was easy. Highly recommend for families or group getaways—we’d definitely stay again!
Plenty of room for all of us. The place had everything we needed and was well appointed. Our grandson loved the park right behind the house. Overall it was a great property and stay.
We rented this house for a family get together to celwbrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. The home was nice and spacious and had what we needed to house all 9 of us. Thank you.
Home was beautiful inside and out with everything we needed. One of our group did have a sensitivity to the detergent used on the bed linens and was unable to sleep the first night. We purchased fragrance free laundry soap and rewashed her sheets a couple of times then all was good. Otherwise a wonderful stay - thank you!!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week staying in this home. It’s beautiful and roomy. It also has the most well equipped kitchen of any rental home we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in many! The owner was easy to communicate with, answering every question and welcoming us to her home. We’d definitely consider staying here again. PS if you plan a trip, try to set aside a couple hours to drive through the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. We saw so many species of beautiful birds and we stopped counting alligators after a dozen. Just beautiful!
Beautiful, well-stocked home that was perfect for our trip in a very nice, quiet neighborhood that is perfect for long walks. Centrally located to all of the things we had planned to do, and very convenient to shopping. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Michele and Den!
A beautiful house in a lovely and convenient neighborhood!
We really enjoyed our stay and felt extremely welcome. By far, one of the best homes our group of nine has ever stayed in. The location was quiet, safe and close to everything we needed. Mt. Dora is around the corner, close to golf, and fairly close to Disney. There are several eating establishments and grocery stores nearby. The owners and family are great. All and all, a wonderful place.
What a wonderful home! We rented this property from Michele. Both she and her husband were superb hosts. Our daughter and her bridesmaids enjoyed all that the home had to offer and then some. Thank you Michele for making your home available to our family. We'd definitely book again with you! Warmest regards, Tom & Robin F.
We had a wonderful time with all our family for our nieces wedding weekend. It was a four day event and we were able to keep all our dresses, cakes, and a mountain of food all within in reach. The house had everything we needed and the kitchen was very well equipped. Thank you Michelle for sharing your house with all of us. Mary

Could not have been better!
We have been using VRBO for 17 years and we have never stayed in a house with a kitchen so well equipped. We congregated in the kitchen, family room, nook area of the house for the most part. The guys played pool, we enjoyed the large dining room with table big enough for the 9 of us. The way this house is designed was perfect, great space to send time together in with lots of privacy when sleeping and bathing. We could not have picked a better property for this cousins reunion!
This is a really nice home. Very inviting, clean and spacious. Perfect for blending different families on vacation. Everyone had their own space and the common areas were big enough for everyone to be together. The kids loved the bunk beds and pool table. The back patio was perfect for morning coffee and afternoon tea. Convenient to other beautiful parts of Apopka. Wedding venue was 10 minutes from the house. It had everything we could have needed. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area.
Perfect location for Apopka wedding Venues. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and cookware, even spices, making it convenient to cook for large family. Driveway large enough to accommodate 6 vehicles. We had a blast playing pool with the family.
