Getting my husbands cancer diagnosis was hard. Hearing that we would have to live away from home after his hospital stay added another dimension to the hard. We looked at hotels and apartments near the hospital but they only increased the angst. Then we saw Bonnie’s house on VRBO. It felt like a breath of fresh air…ok…We can do this. I contacted Bonnie. She got back to me right away. And here we are! The house is even better than the pictures. It is lovely and fully equipped. The beds are comfortable. Everything works great and Bonnie is ready to answer any questions we might have. The road through the neighborhood is quiet…a great place to walk. The varied birds , playful squirrels, skittering geckos, sunshine and moonlight mirrored in beautiful cooper lake can all be enjoyed from the fabulous screened lanai. This home has been a perfect recovery retreat. A gift from God. A home away from home!

Quiet, well equipped and tastefully decorated.

Started as outpatient at Moffitt, but was also inpatient. Ideal location and perfect place to relax after full days at Moffitt. Cooper Lake was serene and peaceful. Supplies were rhere, and Bonnie, the owner, stayed in touch with us and answered our questions. If available for my future appointments, will be back! Thank you, Bonnie!

Bonnie's home is just so peaceful and private. The lanai was our favorite spot daily for a little respite. Her home is equipped very well and we were able to be close to Moffitt Cancer Center for the last 5 weeks of my husbands treatments. Would highly recommend and wish we had a few more days there. Thank you Bonnie Sincerely, Marci

I can’t say enough great things about this house! You can tell this isn’t “just a rental” but rather someone’s home that is tastefully decorated, comfortable and well organized. The neighborhood is peaceful and friendly. Neighbors on both sides are welcoming and helpful. They introduced themselves and offered to assist us with anything needed. The house centers around the view of the lake, and what a view! Since the house faces north you will never have the hot sun glaring into the front or back of the house. It was as if you were looking at a live work of art at all times of the day. We spent quite a bit of time on the huge screened porch, the multiple ceiling fans providing a breeze on warm days. As someone who loves to cook, always laugh when I get to a rental that brags about a “kitchen with everything you need to make a gourmet meal.” There are usually some nasty frying pans and pathetic looking utensils. That is NOT the case here! You truly have anything you need at your fingertips. In fact, it became a running joke that if something popped into my head that I needed, I was sure I’d find it. Measuring tape? Yup. Umbrella? Of course! Chip clips? Yes. The Maytag washer and dryer were fabulous, I wish I would have used them before I recently purchased my Samsungs. I prefer these! There are several Publix grocery stores conveniently located nearby. If you like meat, go to Johns Butcher Shop less than a mile away. We bought some meats to take home with us, it’s that good! Villagio Italian Restaurant about 2 miles away is like a throwback in time, excellent food and service. We also dined at Umami Sushi and Sacred Pepper a few times, both fantastic. There are many great restaurants that are nearby. Had my hair washed and blow dried by Sawyer at Salon Zed twice, nails done by Tricia at Bali Nail salon twice also. Both places a 5 minute drive. Our purpose for our stay was for my boyfriend’s treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center, Magnolia Campus (at USF.) The drive was always pleasant and quick, regardless of time of day. There’s no such this as “rush hour” from this house to the USF/Moffitt campus. This home was exactly what we needed for a stressful time in our lives. It provided a peaceful respite from the cancer diagnosis that hangs over our heads and is presently consuming our lives. My daughter visited for 2 nights and when she left she said, “Mom, I think you guys are going to miss this place when you leave!” She is 100% correct!

Property is amazing everything as shown in listing. Owner is amazing also. Stayed 2 months no complaints at all.

I cannot say enough great things about this home. I did a LOT of research to make sure that I could find a home that was close to Moffit and appropriate for our needs. The area near the hospital is a little transient so to book this home which was approximately 20 minutes away with a beautiful lake view offered the serenity, safety and comfort that we needed. My husband stayed at the home full-time while I was in the hospital for the first eight days driving back and forth daily and my brothers flew in and out from out of state. I joined them once discharged to begin my recovery. The home is absolutely meticulous, well organized, beautifully decorated and offers all of the comforts of home. The beds are a great quality as well as the linens, towels, appliances, etc. We rented the property for 30 days which enabled me to travel back-and-forth to Moffit for my follow-up appointments before returning back to the East Coast of Florida. The neighborhood is very safe and the neighbors incredibly friendly and helpful. You can tell that they think a lot of the owner. Our little Maltese dog, Piper felt immediately at home and I felt so happy that she was welcomed. Anyone who came to visit told me this was the absolute best decision and I agree 100% The owner Bonnie, was fully accessible if we had any questions. I thought enough of this home to forward the information to Moffit for future patients.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We awoke to beautiful lake views, caught a few fish, and enjoyed many sunsets in this peaceful home. The owners have everything there that you might need and were responsive and attentive to any request or question we had. The home is well appointed is even more beautiful than the pictures. Everything seems new and updated. We were grateful for our stay and would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at Bonnie's house, at Lake House! Awesome views to the lake, great area to stay, and fantastic house, such a dream place that we didn't want to leave. Inside the house there are all things that you may need, and the three rooms have really comfortable and big beds. We will never forget the views of the lake from all the house, and the porche a must to stay at! The reality much better than the pictures, hope to come another time if possible. Thanks Bonnie!

Our stay has been an excellent opportunity to relax, enjoy the view, listen and appreciate nature. You can also explore the lake with a kayak/canoe (bring your own). The house was supplied with kitchen utensils, towels, bedsheets, cleaners, etc. The house is small, so it's is very easy to clean. Quiet neighborhood. Parking space is limited. We loved the white colors inside. There are also several decorations...families with small children should be careful. The owners are very attentive and immediately respond to any questions.
