the house where sweet dreams drift by

Review Submitted: February 4, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
“The house where sweet dreams
drift by…..”
This “ Gem “ of a house is really beautifully furnished, kitchen , bathrooms equipment etc .perfect and clean, as all the rest, for that matter, most comfortable beds out of which one never wishes to get out until the brain wakes up to its senses telling you to rush and get up so to open all the many windows and doors and allow the sun , the light and all the glitters coming from the lake to get in and dance playfully in the soft-multicolored rooms…….then you step out into a wonderland of natural beauties: ( apart from another flash of blue water reflected by the swimming pool) a slither of green grass and…a wonderful lake , a festive playground for native inhabitants : birds (ibis, herons,cranes, crows, doves , green parroquets , ….) shy iguanas…. Area : very quiet , nice neighbours. Location : perfect, you’ll find yourselves pampered and nestled in a crystal bubble ..Skischool: excellent , just check the owner 's performances and her husband 's credentials, not only as a “ boat “ pilot…..I,we, could go on and on…….with complimenting …..Owners: : the nicest, most adorable, discreet , helpful , people in the world . if you think we are exaggerating it….give it a try! You won’t regret it….Finally, on a more personal note, the house on the lake was, is, will always hold a special place in our hearts and keep the sweetest memories….Forever.
Owner's Response: Hi Fiore and Marco, thank you for your wonderful review. We will miss you so much after coming to the lake for 10 years every winter. We hope you enjoy your new home in California and we will definately come and see you both in Italy and Califonia. Thank you for being such loyal and wonderful guest for the past 10 years. love and best wishes from our family.

Very noisy house at the edge of the swimming pool

Review Submitted: August 3, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have master key one week of rental in this house the house is very clean but the big problem not specifies in rental announces; is at the edge of the swimming pool is very noisy many roads visible of the swimming pool and also surface to take sun baths is really reduced
Owner's Response: The highway these renters are refering to is the Turnpike which is at least half a mile away across the lake, it can be seen on an aerial map. It has never been a problem for anyone in fact to see the cars you need binoculars.

Wonderful Vacation Rental

Review Submitted: April 29, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
The house and property were great. It was so nice to get
up in the morning and go sit by the water and watch all
the wildlife. At nightime we enjoyed swimming in the pool and sitting in the hot tub. Everything was more than we could of hoped for. The property was close to everything.
We also enjoyed watching people waterski up and down
the lake. Thank You for everything, we will be back.

Excellent vacation house on the edge of the lake

Sheila and Ian England
Review Submitted: October 21, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
My husband and I had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful little house on the edge of the lake. We had the master bedroom and every morning enjoyed looking out at the lovely view of the lake. The bed was so comfortable and nice and clean. We slept so well as it was so quiet at night - not a sound. We loved being able to come in from the heat outside into the lovely cool rooms. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything was so clean and nice. The whole house is extremely comfortable (home from home). I would certainly recommend this holiday to friends. The pool was nice and the hot tub was pure luxury. We didn't actually ski but we so enjoyed watching the skiers going up and down the lake. The owners were so kind to us and made us so welcome. We went on a cruise of the Fort Lauderdale waterways and this was truly amazing. We also enjoyed our trip to Key West - a wonderful place. We certainly had the holiday of a lifetime and can't wait to return to Florida.

Don't miss this stay!

Momma P Plantation, Florida
Review Submitted: October 21, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
What a treat! If you are a skier, it doesn't get much better than this! This lovely home features all the comforts of your own home, and is situated on a lake that boasts year-round perfect conditions.

The home is maintained "spanking-clean", nicely furnished, with a inviting pool and jacuzzi. A brief jog to the boat dock, and you can start and end your day with awesome passes behind tournament ski boats. Then finished your evening with cocktails on the patio overlooking the lake!

This home is a little "hidden gem", and its easy access to 595 and the turnpike, puts you in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale beach or the airport in 10 minutes.

Don't miss this vacation stay! I coming back!

Wonderful memorable vacation.

Review Submitted: October 9, 2007 Date of Stay: September 2007
We had a superb vacation in Fort Lauderdale, this rental was just what we were looking for. Ideal location, very very clean, all in good working order. The beds were very comfortable, deep luxurious mattresses, and the price was right. Would definately come back again. The lake out the back is such a nice location, lots of Florida wildlife. Beautiful.
