Lake front 2 bed 1.5 bath guest house, very PRIVATE with gorgeous LAKE VIEW!

This unique property offers privacy, tranquility, comfort and that “Old Florida” feeling but is set in the middle of Brandon. Outdoors you will find a screened-in porch, Adirondack chairs that you can take down to the lake, a pontoon boat to hang out on, a picnic table and more. Inside you will find an open concept kitchen/living room flooded with natural light from 12 ft ceilings and skylights, and view of the lake which is right in front your windows. You will see wildlife of all kinds such as owls, osprey, turtles, raccoons and others. Enjoy our Italian leather couches, a beautiful table that seats 6 and comfortable queen beds which have all been curated for your comfort. One bedroom has lake views and the other has views of the 1.5 acre property. We have a nice BBQ grill and other features to make you feel completely at home.

Another unique feature is that you feel like you’re in the country but you are in the heart of Brandon. Within 1 mile you could find anything you need for restaurants, groceries, shopping malls, and I-75 and I-4 access are minutes away. It is only 20 minutes to what Tampa has to offer such as the Amalie Arena, Channel side, Bayshore, Tampa Riverwalk and Ybor City. Orlando is about 1 hour away. Please read our reviews and you will fall in love with this property.

Peaceful Haven on the Lake
We REALLY enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the lake. We felt at home. Very soft Ialian leather couches, comfy beds, high ceilings and skylights. Adirondack chairs to relax in. Nice grill. Quiet. Clean. Tons of privacy but near everything. "Old Florida" charm just a short drive from Tampa. Highly recommend.

Comfy home-away-from home
Large, well-maintained guest house. Owner was not on premises so very private and secluded - but close enough to restaurants, stores, etc. to be convenient. Loved waking up looking at the lake every morning. Although signs warn of alligators, we never saw any. Enjoyed the screened-in porch. We would love to stay again next year.

Outstanding experience!
What a peaceful retreat in the midst of the city! Loved sitting at the picnic table on the lake under the old trees in the back yard, at the same time being right there for errands and shopping. Dining options are abundant and all minutes away. The rental is the guest part of a larger house, but the owners aren’t there when you rent it. The only other neighboring house was only occasionally checked on shortly by older people. Also, there’s an apartment complex very close but not directly noticeable. Video surveillance of entrance and driveway added to our feeling safe, but backyard and lakefront were completely private. Given its location, we heard the occasional muscle car, fire truck and a train line, but the sounds actually faded into a background concert of civilization that even underlined the remarkable peacefulness of this place. Managers are great and super-nice. In terms of cleanliness, the place was absolutely impeccable. All you need to know is summed up in an informative guest folder. House rules are totally natural, and knowing what damage stuff can do to a pumping system, we totally understand why it’s not only stated in the kitchen but also where it matters. Mentioning these things also since we wanted to clarify what caught our eyes in the other reviews. We can only recommend this place wholeheartedly - many thanks for sharing your house! This place is truly a gem, and a well-kept island of Old Florida within the growing urbanity around.

Peaceful retreat.
Our three days staying here before leaving on our cruise was a true joy. It is a quiet and peaceful spot in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city you would never know was there unless you were looking for it. The property was exactly as described and we would not hesitate to stay again on our next trip to the Tampa area.

Overall HORRIBLE experience!
My girlfriend and I were taking my 80 year old grandmother on a day trip. When we arrived after a 3 hour car ride, we realized there was no code given to access the lockbox and we all had to pee! The host finally called us back after 10 minutes and told us the owner wants him to “meet everyone” before giving access to the house - guess if he doesn’t “approve” of you he can turn you away!? We waited 25 minutes for him to show up, it was 85 degrees, and again, we all had to pee. Turns out there was a key just hanging in an electrical box right there the whole time - it wasn’t even in the lockbox! He said that the lockbox was for his wife’s key!? There was no reason for my grandmother to wait outside in the heat! He proceeded to give us a “grand tour” of the home, and read to us the list of rules POSTED IN THE KITCHEN. I felt very untrusted and watched from the moment we arrived. All we wanted to do was decompress and get our vacation started. We rushed him out the door and left because we wanted to get dinner. We returned at 10:30 pm and realized the host never handed the key to me, it was still sitting wherever he put it down in the house. We tried calling over and over and got NO ANSWER until the next morning! He stressed to us at least 5 times to “please call if we needed anything”, but apparently he turns his phone off at 9. I don’t think that 10:30 pm on a holiday weekend is a very unreasonable time to call. If someone is renting your property maybe keep your phone on!? I ended up making a small slit in the screen door on the back porch to get in. Thankfully the back door was unlocked. After we finally got in after AN HOUR of sitting outside in the dark we realized there was NO RUNNING WATER!! We couldn’t even shower or brush our teeth! There wasn’t even a bottle of water to drink! The host finally texted me at 7 am saying that “people lock themselves out all the time” and he forgot to turn the water pump on!? I wouldn’t have used the shower anyway because the shower head was covered in red mold! He was so thorough with everything else but FORGOT TO TURN THE WATER ON!? Absolutely mind-blown. As a property manager myself, I don’t EVER have my phone turned off and I certainly wouldn’t leave an elderly woman sit outside in the heat. He offered me a heavy discount on a future stay and later charged me $90 for the screen. Never mentioned that fee while I was there, so I could have fixed it myself for $10.

Lakehouse in Brandon
This is a lovely 2 bedroom and 1.5 bath guesthouse in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood of Brandon. The house sits on a small lake that encourages birds and other wildlife to have their fun. It was a great stay. Property management was very responsive and good to work with.

Comfortable, relaxing, and clean
This property is well kept and very clean with large windows to view the beautiful lake. There is a screened-in porch with comfortable chairs to enjoy morning coffee, or you can sit outside at the picnic table or on provided lawn chairs. It is a relaxing spot to return to after a busy day in the area. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and utensils. We would stay here again.

House on the lake
Overall the property was great, but there were a couple of issues. This property gives you the option to make 2 payments, the problem was 10 days before my final payment was due I started receiving messages telling me I had to make a payment. They came from someone named Kathleen (maybe the owner) who I had never spoken to. In the listing it stated Tom & Sandy were the hosts. The payment arrangement was made by the property managers, not me. I felt like I was being treated like a deadbeat. There were post-it notes around the house stating different rules that we were already made aware of. I'm not a child and we respect people's property. To get to this property you have to drive through an apartment complex, one night while driving through the complex we saw 10 or 12 teens shooting fireworks at the buildings and at cars. The next day when we arrived at the property after dinner and found a car with 4 young people in it sitting in the driveway. The vehicle had Texas plates, later that day I saw the same car at one of the apartments. Overall we had a great time, the fishing in the lake was good and the house was beautiful. The issues I mentioned were minor, I highly recommend this property, Tom and Sandy were great, very professional! If they lose the notes and let the hosts do their job, I would love to stay again.
