LAKEFRONT - kayak, fish, paddleboard, canoe, HOT TUB -near Orlando
About this cottage rental
Located in Montverde, this attractive cottage for $191 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Rare LAKEFRONT cottage with 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, large 3-4 person canoe and hot tub. Cottage fully renovated in 2019: new furnishings, new Serta Black mattresses, new dock and boathouse, excellent air conditioning, full wrap-around screened lanai for balmy breezy evenings. Direct access to a spring-fed lake means your vacation starts in your backyard! Note: max guests = 4; No Guests of Guests (meaning, no local visitors even for day use unless with explicit approval by owners). Imagine taking a quiet paddle around a serene lake with bald eagles and pelicans diving for fish; herons and egrets gracefully stalking the shorelines; canoeing at dusk casting for dinner; roasting S'mores at your lakeside fire pit; playing cards/board games or reading a book in a wrap-around screened lanai with lakeview. This is more than a "lake view" - this is FAMILY FUN lake enjoyment without the risky crowds and need for social distancing. Owner is RN and fastidious about disinfection! Additionally, new washer/dryer have SANITIZE settings. YOU can have a dream vacation - close to Orlando attractions such as Universal Studios, Disney Parks, LEGOLAND, I-Drive shopping, Clermont Olympic Training Center, cycling, world-class golfing and more. A hidden gem is the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive and trails (check hours, currently open weekends and holidays only)-- rated 3rd nationally for birding. And gators - oh my! They are massive THERE at Lake Apopka . Walking distance to Internationally acclaimed Montverde Academy - monthly/seasonal rental discount available. MANY NEW RESTAURANTS IN MONTVERDE: Cal's Pizza, Black Bear Cafe, Willie's BBQ, and Orange Blossom Candies and Cream; Water Lilies Bakery, Clermont Brewing Company in Clermont. CLEANING / DISINFECTION PRACTICES: The screened in wrap-around lanai means we can air everything out while we do a thorough cleaning/sanitizing. SECURITY CAMERAS: We have one outdoor actively recording camera overlooking the front driveway towards the street that records video. There is a second outdoor actively recording camera that aims at the dock structure and kayak/paddleboard rack that records video. We use this camera to monitor the watersports equipment only (to assure equipment is secure). This camera CAN NOT view the hot tub, deck or anywhere towards the house past the beach.

We had an amazing stay! The bungalow was clean, exactly as pictured, and in a nice safe area! We really enjoyed the hot tub and the view of the lake! The bonfire pit and water toys were an added bonus. The house was cozy and very well stocked! They really thought of everything a guest may need. We will definitely return!!!

Unfortunately we didn't have the best weather for our short 2-night stay but recommend this cute Buoy Bungalow if you're looking for a place on the lake. Excellent communication with the host and it has everything you will need for your stay.

The entire visit was fantastic. The neighborhood was safe and friendly. The town has a small town feel that we loved. Directions were easy. Check-in was a breeze. The house was just like the pictures listed on VRBO. It was clean and well stocked. We were welcomed with s’mores and extra drinks in the fridge. The kitchen had everything we needed (and more) to make a meal. My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about how comfortable the bed was. Our daughter said she also loved her bed. We spent the entire day outside on the lake, reading in the swinging chairs on the dock, napping on the lounge chairs next to the hot tub. After a 5 K in the evening, we came back enjoyed a fire pit and a soak in the hot tub. I will say, typically hot tubs gross me out. Not this one! It was so clean I felt comfortable going in. We watched the full moon until midnight!! The late check- out was awesome. We had time for some kayaking before we had to leave. Over- all, this place was amazing. We had constant contact with the host the entire time. Our weekend could not have gone any better. We will be back.

We loved the vibe and there were so many amenities offered, it was a perfect break from the city, and fairly close to all the springs we went to visit in the area. The house is so lovely and comfy, the hot tub was amazing, and pretty much everything we needed was available to us. Thanks Gary n Kelly!

The Bouy Bungalow was perfect for what we were looking for. We had a quite time together enjoying the Lake and all the Bungalow had to offer. We Went Kayaking on the Lake and my husband caught several fish off the dock.
My favorite part was swinging in the chairs on the dock and of course the hot tub for total relaxation!!
We plan to go back we need to get away from the stress of our daily lives.
This is a FIVE Star all the way!!!!

We really loved our stay here, didn’t want to leave. This super cute bungalow on the lake was perfect for our family. Everything we needed was there. Beautiful view in a convenient location. We had to be gone a lot of the time due to family commitments and really would of liked to spend more time just hanging out at the property. The hosts were super responsive and answering all of her questions prior to our stay. If we are back in this area again, this would be our first choice for accommodations!

If you haven’t stayed here you’re missing out! This is a clean, organized place that is cozy with everything you could think of or need. The back yard sits on a lake with beautiful views and friendly neighbors. The private lake we paddle boarded and kayaked the weekend away! The property offers those to you with instructions for storing that are easy and informative. You have to go to see what the hype is about. I sent the info to my family and friends. I myself will be back for sure!

Old cottage that has been renovated very nicely inside and very well supplied. Clean and cozy. Had dock to fish off and canoe and kayaks to use. My only negative comments are landscaping needed to be cleaned up and upper deck walkway was in very poor condition. Needs to be replaced.
5.0
Gary and Kelly were amazing hosts, the cottage was amazing and had everything we needed and wanted. This location as well suited to Serious water-skiers. There are many venues for training nearby, and a number of excellent shalom skiers on the lake where the cottage is located. Gary was kind enough to take me and my family skiing, definitely made the trip!
We will definitely be back to this location again!

This was a great property to get some rest & relaxation! It had everything we could possibly need and more. The host, Gary & Kelly, were so prompt and helpful from reserving to checking out. Property was equipped with water sports equipment to supplies for S'mores, extra coffee, bug spray, sun tan lotion & snacks. We especially loved the screened in dining area for dinners and breakfast coffees. Enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets there. Very quiet and relaxing area! Will definitely be back!

Wow! This place is even better in person! So clean and beautifully decorated. The lake is so peaceful and there was so much to do! Kayak, canoe and paddle board. (Life jackets of all sizes were available.) Then relax in the hot tub afterwards. The beds were extremely comfortable. And toiletries and coffee were provided, as well as laundry detergent. In my experience this is very rare to have all these included. The owners were so friendly and communicated quickly. We had trouble with the bubbles on the hot tub and Gary came right away and fixed it! (Circuit breaker, which we tried so felt bad that we wasted his time - but he was so nice to talk to.) The owners thought of every detail, and it made our stay perfect in every way. The ice cream shop in town was amazing and the ladies that worked there gave us great ideas on a few places to eat and visit. I highly recommend this Lakehouse cottage and will be back!

This unit was beautiful and very clean. Communication with the owners was very easy. The location was a great base for our stay we were visiting the Winter Garden area. We highly recommend booking this cottage you will not be disappointed. If we were younger we would have enjoyed the use of the paddleboards and canoe that were also provided

Great little lake bungalow in quiet MonteVerde. Perfect location for cycling or simply relaxing by the lake. Bungalow was clean and had everything needed for a perfect stay. Kitchen was great for cooking and the hot tub overlooking the lake was a bonus. Hope to be back next year!

The house was clean and very well equipped for guests. The owners provided the makings for S’mores, which could be done at the fire pit, a supply of K-cups for the Keurig coffee maker, and bathrobes!
There are kayaks, and the dock has a couple of hammock swings which made a delightful place for reading and watching the local water birds. The location is quite close to a few Publix supermarkets. So shopping was convenient.
5.0
Excellent place. Nice alternative to the Disney hype, but still close enough if you want to go there. May be staying again.
