A perfect place to greet 2025

Having rented many vacation properties over the years I can honestly say this is the cleanest best equipped property yet. The hosts have thought of everything one could ever need.The home was light, bright and scrupulously clean. We spent many hours lounging on the deck around the firepit drinking in that lakeside serenity.Hope to return one day soon.

Paradise Oasis in Orlando

This is possibly the most beautiful home I’ve had the pleasure of renting. My family and I enjoyed the serenity of the entire property. House was spacious and clean with attention down to the smallest details. You can see the love the owners have put into this house. Marty is such a great host. Quick to answer questions and will keep you informed on events in the area. House is stocked with everything you will need and more. There is absolutely nothing I would change about this place and look forward to renting it again in the future.

PerfectO!!!

Our family of “8” could not have asked for a more comfortable & beautiful stay! Just what we needed as we were in preparation for our son’s wedding day! We all loved the lay out of the house - the interior was charming & eclectic! My husband is a master carpenter of 50 years and said the craftsmanship was “top-notch!” All of the many added touches from Marty & Flip were so thoughtful in every way & very welcoming ! My brother in law suggested “this should be the place for our next family reunion!” We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the morning with a cup of coffee (& Marty’s pie!!) watching the lake wildlife. Oh & Martys pie ??! Omgosh - DeeeLish .. What a treat .. All in All so glad we the pleasure of staying here - Truly a “hidden gem !”

Another great stay

Nothing compares to this house and property. We love it here. So clean and nice. You have acres of land to roam right in the city on a lake! The major details and things you would excpect from a great rental are all taken care perfectly, but that's not all. I'm amazed every visit by the small personlized details. Marty and Flip go way above and beyond to make this a perfect stay everytime. They care about what they do and it shows.

Best VRBO stay ever

Marty and Flip went way above and beyond. We booked this house last minute and when we arrived less than 24 hours after booking they had the entire home set up just for us. This house is close to everything you might need but you feel miles away from everything. The house was spotless. cleanest house we have ever stayed in. You can't see or hear any neighbors because this lakefront house sits on so much land. so peaceful. I have to mention again how the hosts went WAY above and beyond for us and from the other reviews they do the same for all guests. We booked this house again for next month just hours after arriving.

Spring Break 2023

Marty and Flip have a lovely lake home and went above and beyond with their thoughtful welcome. They provided for unexpected details that made our family Spring break getaway super special with our pets. We enjoyed the local restaurant recommendations, sunset views from the back patio, Marty's apple pie, gator watching, a Space X launch from the fields across the home and kayaking at Kings Landing. Look forward to returning!

Had good times relaxing on the porch with beautiful views. We ordered the apple pie-DELICIOUS! Decorations were great!

Can we give this 20 Stars?

We can’t say enough about how perfect this house is. Flawless! Our family loved every moment. The sunsets are gorgeous. Had everything we needed and things we didn’t know we needed…like pies so delicious we couldn’t stop eating them! Flip & Marty were amazing! Even thought of putting out a UK flag on the mantle for our son visiting from the UK! Can’t say enough…sad to leave.

Every Attention to Detail

If you are looking to find a roomy and lovely lake front home, come to Marty and Flip’s well-appointed retreat. The house is a showcase of beautifully crafted floors, walls and ceilings, exquisitely tiled bathrooms and a kitchen equipped for every cooking challenge. The surroundings bring a sense of serenity and rest with a lot of outdoor space for your pets. And make sure you order one of Marty’s pies. We had the Apple and also the Banana Cream and they were delicious!! I would certainly love to be a guest in their home again whenever I have the opportunity. Thanks for everything Marty and Flip!

Perfect Spot

The hosts had thought of everything and provided many extras. Snacks, wine(s), waters, etc. Identifier tags were throughout the house which was very helpful. The setting is lovely, and the walkway through the wooded area was a wonderful added plus. Am sharing with friends who travel to Orlando each year. It is a real find, probably my very best VRBO experiences. The two friends travelling with me shared my views totally. We also ordered an apple pie and a key lime pie. Both were delicious, the key lime edged the apple out only slightly as our favorite of the two. Be sure to order one!

A must stay property!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Peace and Pie property. We will absolutely stay here again, no need to even look for any other option. This home has it covered, you don't need to bring a single item...even things you hadn't realized you'd need. Loved the lake for bird and gator watching. Very private location yet close proximity to Universal as well as take out and grocery. Absolutely the cleanest place we've every stayed. Order the pies, you won't be disappointed!

An amazing, unique, and excellent rental property

Stating that this rental was the perfect rental property is an understatement. The communication with the owners since the beginning was flawless and clear. The house set-up was perfect in every aspect, from the kitchen, all rooms, living room areas, and even the yard. Our experience was simply amazing. Perfect location to sit back, relax, and spend some tranquility time by the lake. We ordered two pies from the owners, a coconut and an apple pie, and they were delicious as stated on previous reviews.

Definitely, Marty’s pies were a huge bonus! We ordered a couple of pies from Marty ahead of time. Ended up eating one whole pie the first night because it was so good. Of course, we had to order another.one. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our holiday at the house. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Marty Tetlow

Host profile image
Welcome,
Growing up, this whole area was nothing but dirt roads and orange groves, one of which my family owned. My grandparents retired here to this land from Wisconsin in1949 and ran the grove. My parents were not far behind them and in 1950 moved here with 2 of their 5 children to start their life in Florida from Wisconsin. My parents built this home and worked the grove with my grandparents whose home was built in 1947 which is where I live now on the other end of our property.
In 2013 we found out this home was for sale and jumped on it. Sentiment mostly but having this end of the property complete again was a big factor.
As rookie rehaber’s we thought it would take us just a few months to turn this property around, lesson #1! Eight years later after totally gutting the entire home and rebuilding the sun porch with block walls among many other things, we got here. The goal was to design our home with the amenities of a new home but with the feel and comfort of a 1950s family home.
The striated plywood ceilings in the two lakefront bedrooms are original to the home. We found a manufacturer in CA. who had started reproducing it and we decided to install it on the first floor. The pine tongue and groove on the walls felt right; we just aren’t drywall people. Our lighting was a lengthy search trying to maintain a vintage look but L.E.D. updates. We chose the flooring because we love our pet’s and this is a pet-friendly home. The design of the bathrooms and vanities was again trying to maintain a vintage feel but with a bit of flair, I love Motawi Tile so we chose a feature tile for each bathroom. We are custom fabricators so we built the vanities using the Wilsonart Retro laminates, it is also used on the back walls of the kitchen.
We love sharing our rehab story if you have any questions about our journey.

Why they chose this property

Immerse yourself in this newly renovated home on a tranquil marsh lake with birding, unbelievable sunsets, and real Florida at its best. Leave the world behind and enjoy the view! A country oasis with city amenities. After a long day at the Theme Parks or work events come home to a relaxing setting that will make the world right again. Plenty of room outdoors for you to spread out and enjoy Florida at its best for you and your four-legged friends!
Grocery, restaurants, and breweries within five miles or less.
Minutes from the theme parks:
Camping World Stadium - 8.2 miles 11 minutes
Universal -21 minutes, Magic Kingdom- 30 minutes.
FIBER 1G, Roku, romantic candle-burning fireplace, beautiful outdoor space and lake views, gas grill. Privacy with fun-filled days and peaceful evenings.

What makes this property unique

This home is on one end of the owner's 22 acres of property. There is one quiet neighbor 100 yards away. You will have your own private driveway and parking with an automatic gate opener/keypad. Your privacy and relaxing time here is our goal but we will be available by text or phone for any questions or needs.
Food, spirits, and grocery deliveries are available.
My homemade blue ribbon apple pie, coconut banana cream, banana cream, or key lime pie with homemade whipped cream or a seasonal pie can be waiting for you for $40.00.
