Nice getaway

This was a great place to relax after spending long days in nearby theme parks. Our family wanted the experience of Disney with quiet time in the evenings and this provided the perfect atmosphere to do that. The lake in the backyard was peaceful and visits from the neighborhood ducks kept the kids entertained! When we visit Florida again, we will reach out to see if this home is available.

Weekend getaway

Property was clean and well kept for the most part, some dishes needed washed before using which is common when the property isn’t used often. Was disappointed that the pool was definitely not heated like listed and the hot tub that was listed also not available for use. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Great Lake House

We stayed at the Lake Shipp house for a week in July. The pool and the lake view make this the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. Winter Haven is just a few minutes away with many dining and shopping options. The check in/out was extremely easy and the house was exactly as described. Thank you for a great stay!

Our stay

This place was so neat. It was like being on paradise Island. The host was so informative and ensure that we checked in and out provided us with all the services that you can imagine. The neighbors were wonderful as well. We really enjoy having a heated pool with lights fishing duck where you can be in the pool, and it was amazing

4th of July Trip

We were looking for a local lake house and found this gem. On a lake, with a pool, full kitchen and a dock. There is an amazing jetski rental on Lake Shipp called Scooters Rental. Jay is a very knowledgeable person of the lakes and with water skies. Next to Legoland which was a 15 minute drive. This location has it all for a great price! We will be back!

Nice Lake House!

Perfect house for a short lake getaway! I was impressed how clean and organized the house was and it has everything you’d need for a week long stay! Very nice pool and beautiful view of the lake. Great location on Lake Shipp for boating the Chain of Lakes. We brought our boat and the dock and beach area were perfect for mooring it. Great fishing too! I highly recommend staying here if you you’re bringing a boat. There’s so much water to explore. No complaints at all. Great stay!

Great pool home on lake Shipp.

We had a wonderful time. My husband and I and our 2 grandchildren. The house was spotlessly clean. Beds very comfortable. Pool clean and welcoming. We would love to come for many more stays. Can’t say enough about the quality of the home and amenities.

Just book it!

The house was SUPER clean, beds and furniture were all very comfy, the pool was a much needed amenity at the start and end of each day, the kitchen had everything we needed to make our own meals and it was in a great location for everything we needed. It was only about 14 minutes from Legoland which gave us the perfect spot to get to and from the park but still have our own little retreat. I can't recommend it more!

Lake Shipp Getaway

Really enjoyed our time at this property. First and foremost, the owners are very pleasant to deal with and made the process very easy. Very clean and nice roomy house with current appliances. Pool and lighting was definitely an added plus and the backyard was large enough for us to play cornhole that we brought along. Dock is right on the lake with plenty of wildlife, fishing and skiers. Plenty of local restaurants around the lake and surrounding lakes for local eateries to choose from. I would absolutely stay at this property again.

An amazing lake-side getaway!

A cute, cozy lake house perfect for a small family to spend some time on the lake. The covered pool is a perfect escape from the heat, with less bugs! Location is perfectly close to the downtown area without the in-city feel.
