Sunny Florida is calling! Huge fenced yard. Pets welcome. Swimming lake nearby.

Greetings! Glad you stopped! Feel free to message if you have any questions, including to inquire about dates that are blocked, but not yet booked. Whether looking for lots of fun or peaceful relaxation, you will find it here.

Note, this is a privately owned home made available to VRBO guests when unable to be here. It is not a coorporation purchased house purchased for those endeavers. (Hopefully more pics will be available soon). Page currently under construction, apologies in advance for gwaffs.

INTRO
Take in everything FL has to offer during your relaxing stay in Avon Park (Next door to larger sister city, Sebring) without dealing with daily coast and attraction traffic. Avon Park has a small town feel with a gazebo downtown and all. You'll also find a nice sandy beach with a park w/amenities on Main Street too. Scheduled senior activies available. The home is in a quiet neighborhood The street is conveniently located, but only one block long and thus does not get much traffic, usually just the (friendly) neighbors. You'll find the home is well-stocked. Feel free to use what's there, but please leave behind the rest for other guests.

OUTDOORS
You'll enjoy the privacy with the huge fenced yard on a 1/3 acre lot. A large covered patio area and lots of new outdoor furniture and a Weber grill helps ensure you can fully enjoy it. There is a large 2' deep kiddie pool, fits adults too, available for use (please put tarp down before using, pump provided). The yard is easily accessible from the sunporch or laundry room. Solar lights with motion sensors for your night time in the back (the front and side have street light). Remember to relax back in an antigravity chair to gaze at the stars.

SLEEPING AREAS
Main level: Split bedroom floor plan with with two suites. The master has a king-sized comfy bed, two night stands with bedside lamps. A tall and long dresser plus the large closet will meet all of your storage needs. Blackout curtains in bedroom in case you like to sleep in. If not, the sun will be shining, reminding you it's time to get up to enjoy the day. (Can't go wrong either way!).

The second bedroom is on the opposite end and is available with different sleeping options, currently set up with a king bed, dresser and built in desk area. (If an office is desired, the beds can be removed. A futon or a single bed are also possibilities). The bedroom is attached to the main bath, private bedroom access and hall access.

LOWER LEVEL*
Three rooms...The first is used the main entrance and doubles as a semi-private bedroom. It can be made private by simply entering the house through a different door. It contains a futon, shoe area with a cabinet and comfy chair. The second room is a dining area also perfect for games, puzzles, crafts, or an office space. The futon can be moved to this room or the autofill airbed can go in here.Lastly, the laundry room complete with washer, dryer, and a clothes line is available to you at no cost. Laundry supplies included. This room also stores lightbulbs and most extra things you may need.

MAIN LIVING AREA
KITCHEN
Open concept with kitchen and living room. The kitchen has a stove, fridge, and microwave. There is NOT a dishwasher, but believe me, you won't mind because you'll be relaxed standing on an anti-fatigue mat, looking out the window at palms and pines, while still visiting with those in the living room. The kitchen is fully stocked with seasonings, ketchup, mustard, sugar, and flour. Feel free to use whatever is available and please leave behind the rest.

LIVING ROOM
The living room has a large couch with three powered seats (note, the power control for lounger is on the left side between lounger and the wall, near the arm rest) so you can kick back and rejuvenate. The lounge can double as an extra bed if needed. Also has two chairs, one recliner and a rocker. The largest TV is currently in the master bedroom and other flat screens in the living room and second bedroom. They can be easily moved to other rooms (can customize set up based on your preferences). TVs are set up for streaming with the provided free high-speed internet.*Do not charge movies or anything else to my account.

THE SUN ROOM
Words cannot properly describe how enjoyable this room is. All of the windows open for temp control, feeling the cool breeze is extra sweet. After the sun goes down, relax in the ratan sofa, set up the card table for puzzles or games (Note, these chairs can be moved to other areas including outside. They hold 300 lbs). The room can get hot, but you can still enjoy at all times with the industrial fan. By sunset the room is usually down to comfortable temps in the 70s to low 80s. If you love waking up to the sun rise, a queen size self inflating air mattress (one total) is available. This room also stores shoes, beach towels, and other assorted items. The sunroom opens to the fenced-in yard.

ACTIVITIES (located 5 and 15 min away). Two parks with beach and picnic amenities. The lakes are mantained by the city and thus keep the beaches safe for swimmers and park visitors. (need to say that gators can be found in any body of water so if on the rare chance you spot one in the park, please tell me so I can report it. Gators are not common in Avon Park/Sebring).

There are so many activities within an hour's radius that it's not possible to list them all, but an activity guide is available upon request and can be emailed to you if you'd like to preplan. Most activities located very close involve nature, for example Hemlock State Park, 15 minutes away, and take the tour. (EVERYONE says how great the guided tour is). Sebring Race Way, speed way is quite close and an abundance of fishing options. Outside the immediate area youll find the ocean beaches are usually 1.5 hrs away from door to sand, both coasts. Tampa and Orlando are about the same.
If you've been to FL, you know what "depends on traffic means" but times are fairly accurate if avoiding the worst of rush hour traffic in those cities.

Thank you for viewing listing. Please know, I'm here for you and am happy to answer any questions you may have. I love this area bc of its abundance of nature without too much traffic (and know I can visit the other areas whenever desired from this location). If you let me know what activities you like best, I can customize an activity list for you. Hope all is good! Wanted to check in to hear from you, either way, have a great trip and take care. ~Cindy
