Absolutely perfect venue for a family gathering. So many great places for conversations and great places for everyone to gather. The decor is fantastic and feels like the 1920s. Beautiful Spanish mansion. Hosts have spent a great deal of time making it feel special. Beds were comfortable , lots of bathrooms, and up to date amenities. Great communication with hosts as well. When you look at hotel costs this is such a great value for a large family. Perfect for reunions. We spent the same or less compared to hotel rooms and a much better experience. The grounds are amazing as well. We married off our first kid in style.

I booked this property pretty much last minute. The communication with Austin was great. Replied right away and made sure I booked it the right way. The property was gorgeous. A lot of space. So very great to do events, and just relax. We did see a snake on our walkway down to the pool, but it’s Florida so 😊 The rooms were very interested in 1900s style. We enjoyed it. Had birthday dinner for my Bf, so our friends came and we have received lots of compliments. No one could believe that a gorgeous property like this could be in the area. I wish we could’ve stayed longer of course to enjoy the pretty views. But maybe next time. It was pretty clean just maybe windows could be clean more better. Early in the morning while we were still sleeping, can hear loud noises of cars/ambulances that woke us up, and the yard guy started to do yard work but in all it was great experience and we had lots of fun! Definitely can recommend for a special event planning here.

Wish we could have stayed longer at this beautiful hidden gem . Will definitely be back to enjoy this place with so many amenities: pool , hot tub , lake , speak easy , putting green , canoe , etc .

Our family loved Austin’s “home away from home”. Situated on many acres of land, there is plenty to do on the property. The pool and gardens are taken care of everyday. We could tell there was a lot of TLC put into the home, which made us feel like we were being treated like guests at a hotel. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you can need. Lots of stores close by for grocery runs and about 20 mins drive to downtown in the event you’d like to see the city or go out to a nice restaurant. We absolutely adored his place and still receive so many compliments on how beautiful Austin’s home is! Hands down, would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a family home with breathtaking views. In fact, I took my bridal pictures here and can’t wait to see how they turned out. Thank you Austin for being there for everything we needed during our stay.

Our extended family had a wonderful stay at the Historic Lakefront Estate for Thanksgiving. Lots of room to hang out inside and outdoors, great yard for a dog, and beds were very comfortable. We stayed in and cooked most days so could have benefited from more baking dishes/tools, but overall property was as listed and perfect for our family trip! Austin was very accommodating and always available when we reached out.

This property was great for our annual retreat for our company based in Orlando. There was plenty of room for our 12 people for sleeping arrangements. The pool area and pond for great for entertainment. I would recommend this property.

It is a very familiar house and perfect for an unforgettable weekend, I loved everything about the house and we enjoyed it to the fullest

Let me start by saying this estate was gorgeous! Looks just like the pictures for the most part. . I loved the privacy of the entire property!!! The rooms are beautiful and large!!! The kitchen is amazing, especially the built in microwave. The area outside by the pool is the best!!!The home was well stocked in the kitchen, had coffee for Keurig and Ninja coffee maker & a lot of other supplies not found in other rentals like paper plates and plastic forks & spoons, sugar and even some spices. There were plenty towels for the pool. Just beware that you do have a limit of how many guests you have visit. The owner was on top of everything that we did find not to our satisfaction. Our biggest issue was that you can't get to the lake. In the description it says "lake access" but we could not get to it. Once we got to the house & let Austin know that was the main reason we booked this particular home, he got on it trying to get a dock built. There were other little things like better cleaning, which he sent someone out the next day to take care of. He even sent us a canoe once he thought the dock would be ready the next day but it wasn't complete by the time we left. But the dock was built, just had to be extended to reach the water. I'm sure the next renters will enjoy fishing there. The projector at the pool area wasn't working , but I'm sure Austin will be on it. He communicated with me everyday to make sure everything was to our liking. Being a small business owner myself I understood how its hard to find workers right now. All in all the house is amazing! The owner sent us 2 beautiful fruit baskets because of the few issues which was truly appreciated. Because I myself rely on reviews to help choose our rentals I want to let others know if you have elderly or handicapped ppl in your party they will be limited to moving around in the house. The Speakeasy was fine for my mom and aunt but they weren't able to maneuver around the house with their walker and oxygen tanks without being assisted. All in all I would still give this house 5 stars because of the owner's willingness to accommodate us for what wasn't up to par. Mrs. Yolanda Watts 229-726-0294

The property was everything we thought it would be. The history at the villa was really cool. We had four baseball families at this property with their siblings. There was a ton of space for everyone to move around. The pool area was really nice. The owner was super responsive and helpful. The next time we are in Orlando for a tourney we will rent this property again.

The property is beautiful and huge with an amazing pool area. Our family enjoyed the space , the amenities and the history of the villa.

Good family place offering quiet seclusion and beautiful outdoor spaces. Would be an excellent event venue. Large yard is on Lake Lucy. Spanish moss adds to the Southern charm and relaxed atmosphere.
