Perfect Family Getaway
The property is beautiful inside and out! Ample places to sleep made it great for our family gathering over Thanksgiving. The views and access to the lake were definitely the best part.

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!

Lake house
There were issues the last night w septic backing up which left us unable to use the water, shower, etc. we could not use dishwasher or wash towel as required. Owner was apologetic and got right back to us, however, being a Saturday night nothing she could do. Unfortunate situation for all of us. That being said we hope to VRBO location again

What a beautiful place
Our family had such an amazing time here. The house and view is even more beautiful in person than the photos are able to express. It is also so well equipped for kids and babies. We loved the outdoor games. This probably sounds funny, but one of my favorite parts is that the couch and table fit every single person in our party (this never happens at any place we have ever stayed at even though we never exceed the guest count). It was all perfect.

Wonderful Visit in Lakeside Home on Crooked Lake!
This trip was a combination of family and friends of 50+ years! It was exactly like the listing. The house had everything we needed! The screened porches, overlooking the lake, were amazing and that's where we spent most of our time. It was super relaxing and we also enjoyed the Sandhill Cranes!

A Perfect Family Gateway
Overall, the house is very well-equipped, its location is excellent, close to Legoland and Springs, with supermarkets nearby. The lake in front of the house makes it unique, and it's ideal for children of all ages. Very well-maintained, and the host was very friendly and attentive at all times.

Baseball at Warner
The house is AMAZING! So great with literally everything you need other than what you want to drink and eat. So many fun games to play, the screened in porch areas are amazing and the lake is awesome. Will stay here again as long the team plays here again!! Bok Garden Towers is a must see! Host checked in to ensure everything was ok too. Very responsive to my first time VRBO nervous mom questions. Thank you for your southern hospitality Central Florida. I’ll be taking my “baby”, “honey”, and “sweetheart” home with me. Crazy Fish is a must do! Thank you!

Amazing Home on Crooked Lake
This house is spacious, clean and very well put together to make our stay enjoyable. The kitchen/dining and living was huge, well stocked with pretty much everything you need to make meals, comfortable furniture and large table seating for 12! The beach is very nice and welcoming. The screened in room facing the lake was simply wonderful to hang out for many hours! Very safe and quiet neighborhood. Will return to this house if in the area again! Host was very friendly and responsive to messages.

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!)

Beach house on the lake
The home is immaculate and so very well furnished with modern appliances. The outdoor areas are screened in and have very nice and comfortable seating. The patio also has a very large table that is great for outside dining. The white sand beach leads to a clean lake. The home has outside amenities such as corn hole, kayaks, children sand toys, and beach chairs and umbrellas. All common areas look out onto the lake. The kitchen boasts a huge island where your family can gather as well. The bedrooms are cozy and have comfortable beds. The bathrooms are spacious as well. The home has 2 separate A/C / heat units that are a plus if you have older guests that prefer the temperatures different from you. What I really liked about home is that many of your family/ guests can all be home at the same time and you are not on top of each other. Great use of space ! We hope to visit again this summer !!

Beautiful home on a lovely lake
This immaculate home has everything you need for a great stay with family and/or friends of all ages. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. We enjoyed having coffee on the screened in porch that overlooks the lake and were delighted to see ducks, cranes, kingfishers and we even were treated to a sighting of a pair of otters swimming by. I highly recommend this home and would rent it again in a heartbeat. P.S. the beds were super comfortable too which is something that can be hit or miss with VRBO’s.
