Kingsley Lake Home w wide lawn, dock, central air, 4 kayaks. Near Camp Blanding
If you're looking for a special oasis to spend quality family time in one of Kingsley Lake's original homes, you've hit the jackpot. If you are working at Camp Blanding for a week or a month, even better! Our lakefront home has a large lawn, tons of personality and anyone that visits will find serenity, peace, and beauty nestled among live oaks dripping with Spanish Moss.
Kingsley Lake is one of the cleanest, most beautiful lakes in Florida, with a white sand bottom. The house is just down the street from Camp Blanding, a couple of miles from historic Starke, FL, where you'll find restaurants, a movie theater stuck in time, and everything you might need if you forgot something at home. We're about 45 minutes from Jacksonville shopping, culture, and sports, including the Jaguars (football) and Armada (soccer), and about the same distance from Gainesville - where you can go watch the Florida Gators play at the stadium and, much more. Whether you are working, going to a football game, or visiting family, this is the perfect place for quiet respite.
The house has 5 bedrooms, 9 beds (plus toddler bed), a large dining room, a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room with a computer, free WIFI and cable, and best of all a large enclosed porch with windows all around to enjoy the lake view. The porch has plenty of room to eat, play games, or sit on a rocker and watch the children play on the wide grassy lawn.
The dock has plenty of room for everyone to chat, read, have lunch, swim and/or sunbathe. There are 4 kayaks available for use, and nothing beats an early morning jaunt around the lake when the birds are chirping and everything else is quiet.
In event of rain, we have a large living room and, of course, the porch for relaxing. You'll find a big-screen TV with streaming capabilities and a computer should you have to check in to the office.
We only accept groups of 10 or fewer, and ask that you be respectful of this lovely old home and honor its 10 guest limitation. It's great for a large family, or a crew doing work in the area but if you are looking for a place to have a larger gathering, this is NOT the house for you.
PLEASE reserve our home with the actual amount of guests you anticipate to avoid surprises on either side.
A few notes:
1. There is no public boat launch on Kingsley Lake at this time and no ability to launch any boats, jet skis, etc., from our home.
2. The 10 guest limit is strictly enforced, and you will be asked to leave if you have excess guests or cars (whether day or evening or overnight). Please remember and respect this limitation.
3. The property manager and several other tenants live in homes on the property who you may (or may not) run into on the dock infrequently during your stay. There's plenty of room for all.
Thank you for your consideration of our home. We look forward to your visit.

This property and house is well maintained, clean, and fully furnished. The dock is perfect for spending the day outside and playing in the water. The covered portion of the dock has plenty of room and seating for a group of 10. We truly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book again in the future!
Me and my family 9 of us total absolutely loved this place. The house had plenty of room for all of us and it was stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and even toys on the back porch for the kids. The dock was great for laying out, fishing or just enjoying the beauty of the lake. We had such a great time we’ve already booked it for next summer.

Comfortable lake getaway
The house is comfortable and well stocked. The grass hadn't been cut in quite a while. 4 out of 8 of us fell down the stairs going up to the 2nd floor. Need some improvement!!
We stayed for a week and had a blast. Great property with the best beach area on Kingsley Lake. House is fully stocked with everything you could need and is huge! We will definitely be back!
The house is set up great for large family plenty of beds and space for dining. The dock is amazing with plenty of room for fishing and hanging out on the dock or in the water. The only negative is the parking situation, only 3 cars are allowed, it’s hard with traveling family from other states to only have 3 vehicles with 10 people.
Amazing, beautiful, charming and large house - perfect for a memorable family gathering
The house is full of charm but with a modern, well equipped kitchen - plenty of comfortable beds and sitting spots - the lake views are amazing and dock space is also great for sitting and watching sunrise and set - we will be back!
My family and I stayed here for a wedding on the other side of the Lake. We really enjoyed the house, it was big enough for the whole family and had an amazing back yard. Sitting out on the dock made time fly by! We loved our stay. Host is responsive. Neighbor on adjacent property helpful and friendly as well!

Great Location beautiful historic home
It is a beautiful historic home; however, it needs some attention. The house needs a good cleaning. Great potential.
