Welcome to your pet-friendly lakefront home base, just twenty minutes from The Villages` town squares! Set on 10 lakefront acres on Myrtle Lake, shared with the other homes on the property, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath half of a duplex in Fruitland Park sleeps 6 in real beds: a queen in Bedroom 1 and a full-over-full bunk with a desk in Bedroom 2. Kick back on the big sectional with the wall-mounted TV, challenge the crew to foosball, and step through the French doors to a fenced yard with lake views just past the fence. A mini-split A/C system cools the whole 800 sq ft home. You also get an in-unit washer and dryer, a coffee bar, and a kitchenette with a full-size fridge, 2-burner cooktop, microwave, air fryer and toaster. Lake Griffin State Park is 10 minutes away, Downtown Leesburg 15, Mount Dora 40, and Orlando International about 1 hour 25 minutes. Up to 3 pets are welcome!

Please note before booking: this is one half of a duplex, and the 10 acres are shared with other rental homes. You share a wall, the fenced backyard and the gas grill with Unit 1 (propane isn`t provided or guaranteed). The screened lanai belongs to Unit 1 and is not included, and the property pool belongs to a neighboring rental and is not available. About the lake: it`s for views only. There`s no direct lake access because the shoreline is thick with lily pads, there`s no dock, and swimming isn`t possible. Fishing is allowed but difficult. The kitchen is a kitchenette (no oven or full range), and there is one bathroom for up to 6 guests. The driveway is unpaved sand, the home uses well water, and there are exterior cameras only, none inside.

Traveling with a bigger group? Unit 1 sleeps 10. Book both and bring up to 16!
