LAKEFRONT - kayak, fish, paddleboard, canoe, HOT TUB, golf -near Orlando

Rare LAKEFRONT cottage with 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, large 4 person canoe, hot tub and 2 adult size bikes. Cottage fully renovated in 2019: new furnishings, new Serta Black mattresses, new dock and boathouse, excellent air conditioning, full wrap-around screened lanai for balmy breezy evenings. Direct access to a spring-fed lake means your vacation starts in your backyard! Note: max guests = 4; No Guests of Guests (meaning, no local visitors even for day use unless with explicit approval by owners).

Imagine taking a quiet paddle around a serene lake with bald eagles and pelicans diving for fish; herons and egrets gracefully stalking the shorelines; canoeing at dusk casting for dinner; roasting S'mores at your lakeside fire pit; playing cards/board games or reading a book in a wrap-around screened lanai with lakeview. This is more than a "lake view" - this is FAMILY FUN lake enjoyment without the risky crowds and need for social distancing. Owner is RN and fastidious about disinfection! Additionally, new washer/dryer have SANITIZE settings.

YOU can have a dream vacation - close to Orlando attractions such as Universal Studios, Disney Parks, LEGOLAND, I-Drive shopping, Clermont Olympic Training Center, cycling, world-class golfing and more. The town of Montverde is within walking distance and within Kirk Park there are 4 new pickleball courts, 2 new tennis courts and 2 lakeside parks: one on Lake Florence and the other on Lake Apopka (Truskette Park) in addition to a boat launch on to Lake Apopka.

A hidden gem is the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive and trails (check hours, currently open weekends and holidays only)-- rated 3rd nationally for birding, but other wildlife like bobcat and gators make LAWD home too.

Walking distance to Internationally acclaimed Montverde Academy - monthly/seasonal rental discount available. MANY NEW RESTAURANTS IN MONTVERDE: Cal's Kitchen (delectable Italian and pizza), Willie's BBQ, and Sweet and Sassy Place (real ice cream, homemade candies and empanadas); The View at National Clermont - a driving range (at Sanctuary Ridge Golf Course - minutes away), Plus, many wonderful restaurants in both nearby Winter Garden and downtown Clermont.

Nearby Golf: King's Ridge, Clermont National, Forest Lake and Legends Golf Courses.

CLEANING / DISINFECTION PRACTICES: The screened in wrap-around lanai means we can air everything out while we do a thorough cleaning/sanitizing.

SECURITY CAMERAS: We have one outdoor actively recording camera overlooking the front driveway towards the street that records video. There is a second outdoor actively recording camera that aims at the dock structure and kayak/paddleboard rack that records video. We use this camera to monitor the watersports equipment only (to assure equipment is secure). This camera CAN NOT view the hot tub, deck or anywhere towards the house past the beach.

We had a wonderful experience at this lakeside house. The paddleboards and kayaks were a real bonus, providing us with moments of relaxation and fun on the water. The location was also quite convenient, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the TVs were a bit old. We highly recommend it!

wonderful quiet place

we went there for a long weekend on our 40th wedding anniversary to fish. The only downfall was the fish weren’t biting so we didn’t get much fishing, but it was relaxing and quiet and peaceful.

Peaceful Lake Stay

This property is an older “authentic” lake cottage. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and the location was perfect since we were in the area to attend a wedding. We were disappointed that the hot tub was not working but overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect!

It’s hard to describe how great our week at the Buoy Bungalow was! I’m not sure if the listing on VRBO does an adequate job of describing how nice this place is. Kelly and Gary have thought of everything and are wonderful hosts. If you want to waterski, you won’t find a better place to stay. One of the highlights of every day was seeing Gary pull the boat up to the dock to take me skiing!

We loved the vibe and there were so many amenities offered, it was a perfect break from the city, and fairly close to all the springs we went to visit in the area. The house is so lovely and comfy, the hot tub was amazing, and pretty much everything we needed was available to us. Thanks Gary n Kelly!
