The property owner, Cindy, was easy to communicate with. She stays out of the way but you can easily get ahold of her if needed because she lives in a house on the property. The cottage has everything you need: a full kitchen with stove and microwave, utensils, toaster, coffee maker, glasses, etc., towels, cable TV, and a separate bedroom, with a futon in the living room if needed, and a washer and dryer. The cottage sits well back from the street in front so it's quiet. A lake right in the backyard. Very nice neighborhood. Parking is no problem right in front of the cottage. Tons of restaurants nearby if you have a car. In the recent past, I stayed in another rental about 3 properties away from this rental. I would easily recommend that one and The Cozy Cottage. The Cozy Cottage is best recommended for a single traveler or a couple.....PK

My daughter and I had an extended stay in Florida for training and our stay at the Cottage was perfect. This property is very well maintained and stocked. Cindy and her husband graciously came to our rescue when we couldn’t figure out the TV and the Super Bowl was about to begin. The proximity to the lake provided a serene atmosphere that helped to make our work trip relaxing.

Cindy and Steve anticipate everything a guest may need and have it in place before checkin. During an extended power outage following Hurricane Ian they provided a grill, a camp stove, and access to their generator. They are long-time area residents and have a wealth of information about restaurants, shops, and activities. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip

Weekend Trip

This was our first time renting someone’s personal place on VRBO and it was exactly as shown and more. We didn’t forget items but if you do they got you covered which is very important as you travel and might come in at night after stores maybe closed! Traveling in from Illinois and staying at additional places we also enjoyed the washer and dryer! We came in to see the Daytona 500 and ended up going to the Kennedy Space Station and seeing a rocket launch from the yard after Cindy directed us where to stand and watch! That was most impressive!

Relaxing Lakeside Stay

Relaxing Lakeside Stay

My husband and I stayed in this lake cottage for just two nights on our way home from southern FL. We wanted something relaxing for the end of our trip and this was perfect! Everything was clean, well organized, and well labeled. Super helpful (and cute!) signs around the house to help you feel at home! The highlight of the trip was when we took the provided canoe on a ride around the lake and just enjoyed the beautiful weather. Such a great place to stay!

Turned out great

Turned out great

After A minor maintenance problem, the owners who lived in the main house on the property moved me to another cottage that they just had completed for rental. It was brand new, I was the first renter. They refunded my money for my first night, and my next two nights were excellent. New cottage was nicer than any hotel that you would stay.Owners were great and I would give it A five star

We booked the cottage but they had problems with it an infestation of ants…we were contacted as we landed in Orlando and on our way to the VRBO. Cindy had us stay in the “Breezway” which was is a unit they just finished. It was great. The place is in a nice, quiet, safe neighborhood. We were in town for a weeding and it was 5 minutes from the place. Cindy was a very gracious host and we enjoyed our stay.

Stayed here three nights on a recent business trip. The little cottage offered everything I needed. We had a huge storm the first night, knocking out the wifi, and the hosts worked diligently to restore it for my work. I would stay here again anytime, and bring my partner along to enjoy the lakeside.

This little cottage is clean, well furnished and very comfortable. The hosts are welcoming and responded to our every need. Our family, especially our visiting 6 and 8 year old granddaughters, loved the little beach area and eating on the picnic table. We enjoyed watching the birds while drinking coffee by the lake and I even learned how to kayak. We highly recommend staying here.

Awkward

Awkward

We felt we were in a "mother-in-law" apartment... Not much privacy. Owners weren't intrusive, but we felt awkward sitting out in front of their home and in their driveway area. Very nice people, but we like a bit more privacy. Clean. Came with all amenities. Peaceful.

Delightful cottage; great view; super deal

The cottage was immaculate and had more than enough space for the two of us. It was amazingly well supplied with everything from coffee to lots of fluffy towels, toothpaste if you forgot yours, and even a stack of flyers on sites of interest and eateries. The setting is amazingly beautiful and peaceful. The owners' home is on the property and they are super responsive to any questions or concerns. Truly a great gem of a find.
