House was amazing. Very clean, decorated and furnished beautifully. The pool was incredible. We had a great time staying at this house. We would recommend it to anyone staying in the area. Thank you!
Great stay, house is very well set up for a family and kitchen fully stocked! Beds were so comfortable! House was clean and we very much enjoyed the screened in pool! We will be back when visiting again!
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!
We had a wonderful stay at the Shipp House. Loved the pool with a great view of the lake. Owners have all the amenities you need for your stay. Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen and even pool towels. Lots of great restaurant options in Winter Haven and lots to do in the area
We will go back again!
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.
We loved it. Great views of the lake, wonderful heated pool and deck, bright breakfast nook, excellent tv, dual showerheads. Many nice touches. Loved that the kitchen was so well stocked with snacks and basics like steak sauce and butter.
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
Amazing property beautiful views house was clean, beds amazingly comfortable.
within five minutes of Legoland centrally located. The host was very informative and accommodating. I will definitely be returning and staying here in the near future I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.
Very clean, roomy, comfy and relaxing home. Clean swimming pool with lighting to swim at night! My 2 young Grandchildren loved swimming everyday and fishing off the dock. Special times and memories for a lifetime. Watched ducks, birds and enjoyed seeing a soft shelled turtle in the backyard! Home is well stocked with all the essentials that you would need! Loved the very convenient washer & dryer on the premises. It was our 2nd time weâve stayed and hope to stay again! Itâs definitely a 10 out of 10 rating! I will recommend to friends and family. Susan
Property was clean and well kept for the most part, some dishes needed washed before using which is common when the property isnât 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.
Beautiful property with phenomenal pool. Amenities are wonderfulâI would recommend increasing wifi speed due to streaming and not getting good picture. Thanks for having me and I thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
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. Canât say enough about the quality of the home and amenities.
Perfect house for a short lake getaway! I was impressed how clean and organized the house was and it has everything youâd 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 youâre bringing a boat. Thereâs so much water to explore. No complaints at all. Great stay!
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!
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.
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!
From pre checking to checkout communications with owner was excellent. House was clean, well equipped and beds were comfortable. Pool was awesome! Great location for LEGOLAND! Would highly recommend this VRBO
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.
