Outside the house
You can relax and enjoy the views of the lake and birdlife from the large private pool and deck area, and read, chat or eat in the shade of the lanai with its own fan and outdoor lighting. The pool is large and Italian-style, with underwater lighting. Around it are sunloungers and patio chairs with large patio table under the lanai. Depending on what our most recent guests have left in the house, the range of pool toys can be amazing (our thanks to everyone who does this).
Pool cleaning and garden
maintenance are provided weekly, and our property maintenance manager and his
friendly team offer a personal and comprehensive service to let you enjoy your
vacation.
Inside
The house is fully air-conditioned and offers luxurious and spacious
accommodation. All rooms have ceiling fans for those hot Florida days. It is
beautifully carpeted and tiled throughout in cool shades. There are 3 separate
living areas: 2 indoors (the great room and the den), and the lanai outdoors by
the pool. Plenty of space for people to spread themselves out and do their own
thing.
There is a telephone with free local calls, and you can buy telephone cards from
Walgreens for long distance and international calls. There is a video / DVD / CD player and
3
televisions; and for the beach there are chairs, a coolbox and ice packs, and
sun umbrella.
There are
smoke alarms throughout.
The Great Room
The main living area is the Great Room. This beautiful airy room with views across the pool to the lake has as its focus a luxurious seating area with leather sofas and armchair, near a large TV with top-of-the-range DVD / CD player and radio. We have left you a selection of CDs and DVDs that we enjoy. There are also wildlife and tourist guides, maps and a few other novels etc.
At the edges of the Great Room are two eating areas,
one more informal in a bay window near the kitchen overlooking the lake and
pool, the other more formal for those special dinners.
Den, study or 4th bedroom; use it as you
choose
The den has a comfortable seating area and its own TV, DVD & video player. We have left some videos for the kids. If you want to have a connected office away from home, it has a desk for writing or for your laptop. High speed internet access is available at no cost; just bring your laptop. There's a printer too.
There's a very comfortable sofa, which
converts to a Queen sized sofabed if you need the
extra bedroom.
Bedrooms
The master Bedroom has a King size bed, TV/video, en-suite luxury bathroom
including a large walk-in shower (huge by British standards), and closet
/wardrobe. There's also a quiet seating area in the bay window overlooking the
pool and lake, where you can read or just relax and chill out.
The 2nd bedroom has a Queen size double bed, and the 3rd bedroom has twin
singles. Each
bedroom has its own closet / wardrobe, and they share the second bathroom with
bath and shower. The whole of this guest wing can be closed off from the main
living areas if you have small children who you want to settle down.
Kitchen and Laundry
The kitchen is extremely well appointed. It's equipped with every convenience:
large fridge freezer with automatic ice dispenser and water filter, double sink
with waste disposal, microwave, juicer, large oven, dishwasher and lots more. A
washing machine and clothes dryer are provided in the separate laundry room next
to the kitchen.
