Family Lake Week

We had the best time at our stay here. The house is small, but they have utilized the space so well! There’s room for everyone. We had our four kids (ages 8, 3, 2, and 7 months) and they had a BLAST. Home is kid friendly and well stocked. The owners were so kind and helpful! Had a small mishap with the washer, and they were eager to help and get it fixed. Everyone was sad to leave and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Nice stay with kids

Great place. House is on the waters edge. Step out the door on the dock. Kids get more water time while you relax. Dock has 2 sets of stairs and 2 latters for easy access. Beautiful sunrises to start your day.

Great house on a great lake

The description and photos are exactly as the property looks. This is a great little Lake-house. It’s quite literally on the lake: the entire back half of the house sits over the water. The dock is beautiful and very well equipped. Best of all: this house has its own little mini boat ramp: which was just wide enough to launch 2 personal watercraft. This is significant because Kingsley lake does not have a public boat ramp. The house itself was clean, cozy, and more spacious than I had imagined. I’ve been to a bunch of area lakes in the last 30 years, but Kingsley lake is definitely my new favorite. The water is super clear & clean; sandy beaches all around; and no signs of alligators whatsoever. I believe it’s the second highest elevation lake in Florida which means there are no rivers or creeks (or pollution) draining into it. It also means there’s a far less likelihood of an alligator entering from a river or creek. Saw lots of bass-boats, water-skiers, wake borders, and a bunch of families with little kids, swimming and enjoying the water. I will definitely come back.

Great week on the lake

The house was great for the week with our 7 yr old and older relatives. We rented it for my mom's 70th birthday, and we made wonderful memories! The house is directly on the water. Just like the pictures, you step out the back door and you are on the brand new dock over the water. I wanted something so that the older folks could easily get out on the dock and enjoy the view and the fishing. I was a little worried about the size of the living area from the pictures, but it was perfect and was comfortable for 6 adults and a child, with a couple other older adults in and out visiting. It was January, but our 7yr old still got to enjoy playing in the water and sand as long as the sun was shining. Most of the family is local to the area, but we flew in from PA, and loved that there were plenty of towels and lots of toys to play with in the sand and water. Having the full size washer and dryer were also helpful so we didn't have to pack as much for the trip. The kayaks were wonderful to have too, there were at least 4 of them and we where able to go out as a group. I wasn't familiar with kayaking, but paddling was a breeze, even for us 40 somethings with a few extra pounds on us! We were even able to let our 70 yr old mother try one out too, and she LOVED it! The house was clean and comfortable and we were at ease lounging around and just enjoying one another. We could tell it is an older home that the owners have been updating, so there are a few things they haven't done - like the bathroom is older but good size. They added a half bath to one of the bedrooms which was great for a large group. We also liked the number and sizes of the beds, it is great having 2 King beds and 2 Queen beds for the group - we like our space as we age. One of the bedrooms is windows all the way around which has beautiful views, and as a bonus they even provide a separate heater and AC unit in that room to solve the temperature fluctuations caused by all the glass. There are wide steps with railings off the sides of the dock and that made access from the water very easy and convenient - I really loved this for the 7yr old and the older folks. They also had a great setup for fishing! They have a bunch of poles to use, chairs, cleaning station and even chum! We had so much fun fishing and were able to catch several fish... which, thanks to my brother, we cooked up and ate. We all loved this home and are dreaming of how we can return in the summer!
