About this property

A lakeside sunset delight near Disney, Universal, Sea World, Busch, LegoLand

  • Here's the place to kick back, fish and recharge or to enjoy endless attractions Central Florida--Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, Busch Gardens, LegoLand. My home is a renovated 2 bedroom 2.5 bath home with gorgeous sunsets on Lake Echo. Master bedroom has full bath with French doors leading to a screened deck with lounge chairs allowing you to watch the water skiers or pelicans diving for breakfast. "Kids" bedroom has Animal Kingdom theme with bunks. Large main room splits for two living and one dining area. Florida room has breakfast nook and double sofa bed. Both bedrooms and one living area have TV (one DVD) with Roku connections. Wireless internet available. Kitchen has granite countertops, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, and gas stove. Full size washer and dryer is next to kitchen. But more....the views are awesome from the back of the home through 2 sliding doors and bay windows along with French doors all look west to the lake. There is a 16'x30' covered deck with lots of shaded deck seating or step down to the 3rd deck for sunning and a picnic table. Then proceed further to the pier where you can dock your own boat/jet ski, use my paddleboat(prearrange), or fish. Of course, the lake offers swimming and a sand beach area. The paddle boat is possibly available with advanced notice and signing liability waiver. But it doesn't end as there is another lakeside picnic pavilion and gas grill. Across the street is the Lake Alfred/Winter Haven bike/jogging path of about 5 miles. Again, location is central to everything Florida--LegoLand, Disney, Universal Orlando, Sea World, Busch Gardens Tampa, Bok Tower, and so many pure Florida attractions. Even watch space launches from the front yard. The home has hosted many Northern retirees coming for months at a time as the place to winter, relax in the sun(contact me for special rates). I have hosted a book author, television producer while shooting in the area, and even an interview session filmed for Discover Channel. It is also a big spring hit when Polk County hosts high school and college baseball/cheering national events.

    This the place to relax, refresh or the never ending attractions. Come stay and enjoy.

Perfect for our baseball tournament

We really enjoyed our stay, the back porch on the lake is by far the best view of our trip. We relaxed every evening by the lake after a long day of playing baseball. Also it’s very quiet but still close enough to everything to have a nice peaceful vacation. A lot of good local dining places to get away from the chain restaurant and support local businesses

We had a fabulous stay in Lake Alfred. The home was very comfortable and provided much needed rest and relaxation. The home had everything we could have needed and then some. We especially enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake all times of day and night. William was forthcoming with information for our stay and had many suggestions to for things to do and restaurants in the area. I would definitely stay again when I’m back in the area.

Lovely Stay - Fantastic Outdoor Spaces

This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed the deck and the amazing view. The sunsets are spectacular. We were visiting the area to attend our sons baseball games at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex. The location was very convenient to the venue and Winter Haven. We will be looking to stay here next year!

Relaxing Deck with views

House is very roomy and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the deck watching pelicans, ospreys and the occasional gator. Lake Alfred is convenient to many attractions and parks. The owner, Bill, was great about communicating with us. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful Sunsets!

This place was a wonderful place for our family to gather during wedding weekend for our daughter. There were several days that I stayed in the home by myself as I was planning out final details and before the rest of the family arrived. The house was clean and safe. There was wonderful patio spaces for dining and just hanging out. Bill was so great to work with and was responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Nice setting.

Home and lake setting were as described. Beautiful views of the lake. Only problem was the stink. It was there just about all month, at sunset on a calm evening or early in the morning. Don't know if that's a collection system next door and maybe that's the problem, but the sewage smell makes go you inside and out of the yard at sunset. Very nice overall experience tho.

Unfortunately, our stay did not meet expectations. The home had a musty smell throughout, the toilet had a small leak (we shut the water off to the toilet) because it ran frequently, and while the house was broom clean, it was not nearly as clean as other VRBOs we’ve stayed in. We also encountered ants and spiders, and the furniture was old and dingy, and there is a need updates. The glass panel was broken out of the front door, the roof has a leak when it rains and the carpet is in need of shampooing or replacement. The photos in the ad are not a good depiction of the condition of the home inside or out. We did not complain about any of this due to there was nothing the owner could have done at the time and we didn't want to have to find somewhere else to stay since I was recovering from major dental surgery. That was our purpose for being there. We did appreciate the snacks the owner left for us as we checked in late. The best part of the property was the view out back over the lake, which was beautiful. Overall, we would not choose to stay here again.
