About this house rental
Situated in Auburndale, this lovely house for $229 per night is a great option for your next break. Our home is a true lakefront home on a private access, 76 acre lake located in an established neighborhood that is well kept and a family environment you can feel safe to be in.

We frequently host repeat guests who come to visit their local family, vacations, Florida summer and winter breaks, and for competitions. SPORTS: We are centrally located near Lake Myrtle Sports Park, and competition water ski lake. We are so close that you can come back in 3 minutes to your piece of paradise after a long hard day and pull up a chair… or hop in the private pool and work on your tan. Enjoy the amazing natural lake view sunsets in the quiet, serene setting with a “Southern Exposure”. ~~~The pool can be heated for an additional fee in the cooler months. RELAXATION: We hope you like the wildlife as much as we do and we keep the habitat in its natural state as much as possible. Lake Whistler is home to a few whistler ducks, red wing black birds, comerant, coot, Ibis, red tailed hawks, great blue heron, sea gulls (in the winter), king fishers, crow, ring neck dove and a family of sandhill cranes that live in the neighborhood.

This is house from a dream story! You have peaceful lake next to your house, huge grass, beautiful house, and the owner - this is the real bonos in this deal, always willing to help, she helped us in so many ways, shortly - if you think about it- take it!

The description of a house on a private 76 acre lake had me picturing a quiet, remote house with lots of land and nature. This spacious house is in a suburban neighborhood on a gorgeous lake. It was wonderful waking up to the sunrise, and relaxing poolside in the evenings with birds chirping and the sun setting. The house worked great for our needs and the owners were quick to reply to an issue.

To those reading this review, first thing to note is that the property was as advertised. However what really impressed was the comfort factor. I’m not just referring to the scenic calm of the lake or the quiet neighborhood but just about every other aspect. The beds, bedding, towels, furniture, ease of appliances and supplied cookware are just some of the comforts that made our stay much nicer than any hotel or even staying with family. The response of the host also puts you at ease that any issue will be addressed quickly and effectively. I would certainly repeat renting this listing the next time I’m in the area.

Had a wonderful stay with my brothers and sisters for a family event. Nice set-up for the house for everyone to gather and enjoy the pool and beautiful view. Enjoyed our morning walks in the neighborhood and met some very friendly neighbors.

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect and the hosts were helpful and responsive. The birds and wildlife around the lake were an added bonus. We didn’t explore much around town…too hot to be out and about especially when the pool was the perfect place to be.

The house was very spacious with plenty of room for all 6 adults and 1 child. The lake was beautiful and serene, we loved sitting in the screened porch watching the birds and the sunset. We would recommend this house if you are coming to the area.

We went down for a baseball tournament, and could not have made a better choice than Southern Exposure. Jan and Arden are exceptional, communication was wonderful. The house is beautiful. Clean, stocked, and exactly what we needed. Literally minutes from the fields, we could drive home between games and take a dip in the private pool. The view of the lake, and the sound of the birds, made the stay so surreal. We will definitely come back for next year’s tournament. I highly highly recommend anyone looking for a place in the Auburndale area to stay here. Thank you Jan and Arden for letting us share your wonderful home.!!

The pictures don't do it justice. Truly a beautiful property and home.....pool was great! We were there for a baseball tournament and the location and proximity to fields, Orlando and Tamp was perfect. Jan and Arden are amazing hosts and ensured our stay was everything we expected. We look forward to renting from them again when we are back next. You won't go wrong with this property!

My husband and I stayed in this part of Florida for the first time to watch my son play baseball. Location was perfect for us in close proximity of ball parks. Added bonus was this beautiful home and property. We wanted for nothing. The house was fully stocked with essentials and so well maintained. We will be back if ever in the the area.
Thank you Jan and Arden for your hospitality,

Loved this home - spotless and comfortable with a large pool and beautiful lakeside setting. Everything we needed - comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen and a nice, quiet location, too. Good variety of restaurants in the area and not too far from Disney, etc. Enjoyed staying here and highly recommend it!

We had four adults and four children under 13. The house had plenty of room, and the setting on the lake was very nice. The kids loved the pool and swam for hours. We would definitely stay here again.

I chose this home because of the space and the pool. When entering the home I was impressed by the cleanliness, the layout and the decor. The more I explored the better the house became, the master bed and bath are Huge, the second largest bedroom has a large, clean and comfortable king size bed, the two children's rooms are large and accommodating. I was pleasantly suprised that the pool was actually deep at the deep end, and perfectly sized for a nice swim. There are mini alarms on all doors leading out to the pool which is a safety plus if you have young children with you. Neighborhood is clean and quiet and close enough to get to department stores without having to drive to far. All I all it exceeded in every aspect of what a rental home should be. I Won't be staying anywhere else but here next time we are in Florida!
