4 people from our company had to train for a crane certification. We treated them to this house vs hotel rooms and they loved it. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

We were happy to receive a few emails before our stay with instructions and videos about various things like how to use the front door lock, using appliances and ice maker as well as how to turn on some lights. When we arrived, the lock worked as described and we were inside. We had 3 couples, and the large home along with 5 bathrooms and 4 showers made it so easy to get ready to go out and do stuff. Lots of fun was had around the Pool - the Pool is spectacular! We rented a pontoon boat at Marine Supply and boated around the Chain of Lakes one day, which was so much fun. The house’s private dock with covered boat slip was great to have in the afternoon when it rained.
There is so much to see and do around Winter Haven, everyone had a great time. One night we stayed in and cooked, Publix is less than a mile away. The kitchen has many brand-new appliances including a cool drawer microwave which we had never seen before. We enjoyed happy hour one afternoon and invited a few friends over. Everyone loved the house and hanging out on the pool patio. One of our friends played a couple songs on the piano, which was marvelous. Our mornings were relaxing with the amazing view overlooking the lake. We all Loved it! We’ll definitely be back this summer for more fun in this awesome home.
