LAKEFRONT - kayak, fish, paddleboard, canoe, HOT TUB, golf -near Orlando

Rare LAKEFRONT cottage with 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, large 4 person canoe, hot tub and 2 adult size bikes. Cottage fully renovated in 2019: new furnishings, new Serta Black mattresses, new dock and boathouse, excellent air conditioning, full wrap-around screened lanai for balmy breezy evenings. Direct access to a spring-fed lake means your vacation starts in your backyard! Note: max guests = 4; No Guests of Guests (meaning, no local visitors even for day use unless with explicit approval by owners).

Imagine taking a quiet paddle around a serene lake with bald eagles and pelicans diving for fish; herons and egrets gracefully stalking the shorelines; canoeing at dusk casting for dinner; roasting S'mores at your lakeside fire pit; playing cards/board games or reading a book in a wrap-around screened lanai with lakeview. This is more than a "lake view" - this is FAMILY FUN lake enjoyment without the risky crowds and need for social distancing. Owner is RN and fastidious about disinfection! Additionally, new washer/dryer have SANITIZE settings.

YOU can have a dream vacation - close to Orlando attractions such as Universal Studios, Disney Parks, LEGOLAND, I-Drive shopping, Clermont Olympic Training Center, cycling, world-class golfing and more. The town of Montverde is within walking distance and within Kirk Park there are 4 new pickleball courts, 2 new tennis courts and 2 lakeside parks: one on Lake Florence and the other on Lake Apopka (Truskette Park) in addition to a boat launch on to Lake Apopka.

A hidden gem is the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive and trails (check hours, currently open weekends and holidays only)-- rated 3rd nationally for birding, but other wildlife like bobcat and gators make LAWD home too.

Walking distance to Internationally acclaimed Montverde Academy - monthly/seasonal rental discount available. MANY NEW RESTAURANTS IN MONTVERDE: Cal's Kitchen (delectable Italian and pizza), Willie's BBQ, and Sweet and Sassy Place (real ice cream, homemade candies and empanadas); The View at National Clermont - a driving range (at Sanctuary Ridge Golf Course - minutes away), Plus, many wonderful restaurants in both nearby Winter Garden and downtown Clermont.

Nearby Golf: King's Ridge, Clermont National, Forest Lake and Legends Golf Courses.

CLEANING / DISINFECTION PRACTICES: The screened in wrap-around lanai means we can air everything out while we do a thorough cleaning/sanitizing.

SECURITY CAMERAS: We have one outdoor actively recording camera overlooking the front driveway towards the street that records video. There is a second outdoor actively recording camera that aims at the dock structure and kayak/paddleboard rack that records video. We use this camera to monitor the watersports equipment only (to assure equipment is secure). This camera CAN NOT view the hot tub, deck or anywhere towards the house past the beach.

We had a fantastic mini vacation weekend at the Buoy Bungalow! We enjoyed the quiet lake, the local attractions and the home was perfectly located close to many historical sites. We found many activities not on our itinerary which are fun for all ages. The bedrooms and bathroom were clean and stocked with all the necessities, kitchen too! The house had everything we needed!

Cute little cottage on the lake. The owners thought of everything to make our vacation comfortable and easy. Smooth check-in, great communication & fast check-out. The lake is beautiful! My favorite part of the trip were early mornings with coffee on the enclosed back porch. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This place was bit further from all the action of Orlando, but it worked out well for our family so we could have some down time. The beds were comfy and amenities were perfect. The owners even added in some extra touches, like s'mores stuff and robes. The swings on the dock were a great touch! Just watch the pitch on the driveway as it is easy to scrape the bottom of a car.

wonderful quiet place

we went there for a long weekend on our 40th wedding anniversary to fish. The only downfall was the fish weren’t biting so we didn’t get much fishing, but it was relaxing and quiet and peaceful.

Fantastic Stay!

Me and my husband needed a nice long weekend getaway and the lakehouse was perfect. Super quiet and so comfortable, and the bed and pillows are excellent! The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet so don’t come here looking to party, but come to relax. It’s stocked with everything you need and the hosts Kelly and Gary were so kind and welcoming! The only thing I would watch out for is the driveway is steep so if you’re a nervous driver, just stick to parking on the road. Willie’s Ribs which was recommended and very close to the house was excellent, and a lovely little drive to LunaSea Farms nearby lets you pet llamas and alpacas. We would absolutely stay here again and again!!
