Tropical oasis, centrally located, quiet street. Close to everything!

Paradise Palms was our own home and has been lovingly groomed into a tropical oasis in the middle of town. Three well appointed bedrooms, two bathrooms (all newly renovated) for you evening slumber. Each bedroom has a closet, dresser, 35" SmartTV's and wonderful mattresses.

The kitchen area has a monster island for gathering and cooking meals, and the kitchen is well equipped to for cooking (I used to be a chef!). The family and dining area is wide open and spacious allowing for the whole family to cook, eat and relax together.

The family room has a huge leather sectional sofa with three recliners. We have plenty of games and books to keep the family entertained or watch some tv on the 65" SmartTV. Frontier FIOS Wifi throughout with extenders, so everyone can stay connected (or I can shut it down if that is better, lol).

The real treat is the pool grotto! The backyard is a tropical oasis of beautiful plants and foliage that surround a black bottom swimming pool with wading area for kids, waterfalls and 5' is the deepest it gets. Six person patio table for meals or seating area with smartTV add to the pool vibe! Walk outside the screen door and you have a wonderful relaxing seating area complete with a firepit and Adirondack chairs to have that evening libation, enjoy a cigar or just watch the stars and sunsets. There is even a lovely wood swing to relax on as well.

All this and you are within walking distance to over a dozen restaurants and shopping galore. Downtown Lakeland is only three miles away and offers tons of events, entertainment venues, and more dining and shopping. Lakeside Village is one mile to the west with more shopping movie theaters and restaurants. Lakeland Linder Airport is a quick 10 minute drive.

We are born and raised in Lakeland and can assist with any needs during your visit. We hope you enjoy Paradise Palms! Copy & paste this link into your browser for a full virtual tour - https://tinyurl.com/bdkxkenk

1st time VRBO
Very expensive. Beds were not comfortable at all. Pool was not warm enough to really enjoy. It shut off early so using the pool was limited. Drain in tub was blocked but homeowner responded and sent a plumber to correct. Unfortunately with 5 of us in the home plumber came in the evening so waited all day. Lot of extra charges

Perfect for family time!
While on a trip to visit family I stayed 10 days in this lovely home with my two grandchildren. It worked out perfectly. The kids loved the pool and I loved the large covered lanai. There were plenty of pool toys and floaties for the kids to use. The living area is spacious and the kitchen is surprisingly well equipped. Perfect for cooking simple meals for hungry kids! The host provided board games for those rainy Florida afternoons. I was particularly impressed with the host’s prompt response to any question that I had. I will stay here on any future visits.

Great family friendly property
We came to Lakeland to visit our FSC student while she interns for the summer. Paradise Palms was the perfect place for our family to meet and spend time together. The pool was peaceful and relaxing. The property was spacious and a quick drive to everywhere we needed to be. We really enjoyed our stay. Jack was very accommodating and we’ve already booked again for graduation!

Great spot for attending event
We were attending a church event at the college, and this filled all our needs - comfortable beds, spectacular lanai and pool, well-stocked coffee station, consistently clean, and easy to access our event. Our only regret was not enough time to enjoy the pool.

We enjoyed our 9 days at this house. It’s in a great location and was perfect for what we needed. It could have been cleaner than it was. And I wish they would have had a vacuum cleaner for us to use.

Such a fun place for our weekend stay in Lakeland!!
Such a gem in Lakeland! The check-in process was super easy, and we loved the welcome letter we received with lots of helpful information about the house & area. Jack was easy to contact via text, and very helpful, too. The house was absolutely beautiful, but we loved all the little touches that made it feel like home. They had those special pool towels that dry really fast, an extra blanket in each bedroom just in case, and a coffee nook with coffee, cream & sugars provided. I would definitely recommend this home to others! I know we'll definitely be back!!
