In this spirit I maintain the energy and tranquility of this gem while preserving its charm with continued, subtle updates. Bring your Pups with you.

Casey is amazing. He was wonderful helping us with our pets when we could take them with us. love the view of the lake. Its a perfect cottage atmosphere. Just like what i grew ip with. The place brought so many memories. We wil be back definitely
The price is the bargain. Pet friendly -- absolutely! And that was critical for us. The property is clean, although in need of an update (interior appointments, furnishings, parking). A light at the driveway would be helpful for finding it at night, on a very busy road. Location is ideal for accessibility to local attractions.
The owner is friendly and accommodating. Pre-date communications were timely and complete.
Overall, as long as you are not seeking a 5 Star resort, and all you need is a place to stay with a full kitchen, we would endorse this property.
We had a great experience at Casey’s place. Casey was very welcoming and responsive. The house is close to Orange County National Golf Resort and to some excellent restaurants and Publix. The house is cozy, rustic and charming. We’d happily return.
My brother and I had a pleasant time here.. Casey is a great host and cool guy and was attentive to our needs when they arose. This property is in a prime location near Disney and other parks. It was peaceful here. We also took a few sunset pictures by the lake. Lots of room on the property to walk your dog. I would recommend.
1960ish block house. Comfortably decorated. Great location/neiborhood. On a beautiful non-swimming lake with birds and a few boaters. Busy road, but well hedged and noise not a problem. Very friendly landlord in other side of duplex. Would definitely stay there again.
Can’t go wrong with this property. Casey the host is very welcoming and Kind and it’s definitely a place anyone would love to stay at especially for a long period of time.
Loved everything. The view of the lake is beautiful. Disney 1.5 miles. Keep in mind the water for the house is well water, which I grew up with. Can have a little smell if you’re not use to it. Great TV and the master bed was a sleep number so I slept so sound.
Casey was very kind and welcomed us with a great attitude.
Although a short stay, I was glad to be in a Good area and local to some tasty eats. The property is a short 25min drive to Universal Studios or Disney.

About the host
Hosted by Casey Hawthorne
I am a recent Covid retiree who likes dogs and the water. Your fur family is more than welcome to stay. I have many hobbies that I am unable to afford yet I am blessed with this beautiful place and a few good friends.
Why they chose this property
Originally this was my grandparents home located at the end of a dirt road before the mouse moved in next door. They did not hire contractors or a builder. I have always known this place and learned to fix everything at an early age. It was always a destination point for a cousin or distant family member. As a child, I spent more time fishing and skiing with Grandad than living with my parents. The area is remarkable with its growth curve. What is of most importance to me is the lifesytle the location affords. It is difficult to find enough money to replace it. My home is a little piece of Florida heaven that is seldom found in this busy tourist town. Please feel free to join me.
What makes this property unique
Sunsets, space, privacy, major attraction, shopping... and if you are semi professional slalom skier..... I can connect you with expert instructors who can take you to the next line length and speed. Otherwise watch the sunsets maybe catch a fish but be advised that Bill Hawkthorn will be watching you and he is a fish stealing overgrown pidgeon.
