The Space:

The Florida sun rises over a single-story retreat where the day belongs entirely to you. Pour yourself a coffee at the kitchen island, listen to the quiet ripple of the pool through the screen, and ease into a morning with nowhere to be in a hurry. This four-bedroom Lakeland home is built for the kind of stay where everyone has exactly what they need - and plenty of room to breathe.



Living space

The open-concept layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one generous, flowing space. Natural light moves easily through the home, and the absence of stairs makes it effortlessly accessible from room to room. A flat-screen TV anchors the living area for movie nights in, while ceiling fans keep things comfortable year-round alongside full air conditioning and heating.



Sleeping arrangements

Four bedrooms sleep up to eight guests across five beds. The primary suite features a king bed and a private ensuite bath - a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms each offer a queen bed, and the fourth is set up with twin-over-twin bunk beds, a great fit for kids or flexible group travel. Three full bathrooms mean morning routines stay smooth for everyone.



Kitchen & dining

The fully equipped kitchen handles everything from a quick breakfast to a full family dinner. You'll find a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee maker, along with cooking basics, dishes, and silverware. The large island provides extra seating so conversations carry naturally from prep to plate, and the dining table brings everyone together for shared meals.



Outdoor living

Step through the door onto your private screened lanai, where an in-ground pool and attached hot tub wait. The screened enclosure keeps things comfortable without interruption, and the outdoor furniture and covered seating area make it easy to linger long after the sun dips. Whether you're swimming laps in the afternoon or soaking in the spa as the evening cools, this outdoor space earns its keep every day of your stay.



Work & connectivity

A dedicated workspace and reliable WiFi make this home a practical base for remote work, extended visits, or relocation stays. When you need a break from the screen, the pool is steps away.



Practical details

The home is single-level with no stairs and includes a washer, dryer, garage parking, and free parking on premises. Exterior security cameras - including a Ring doorbell and front and rear cameras - are in place for peace of mind. Smoke alarms are installed throughout. This is a professionally managed property with long-term stays welcomed (28 days or more), and your host will be there to greet you on arrival.



Positioned between Tampa and Orlando, Lakeland puts you within easy reach of both cities while offering a calm, comfortable home base. Whether you're in town for a tournament, a family visit, or a longer relocation stay, this retreat is ready to settle into.
