About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private home and entrance, stocked kitchen, fenced yard, Pets, boats ok,Parking

Stepping into this 1910 historic cracker house feels like stepping back in time — yet with all the comforts of today. Much of the original structure and walls remain, carrying over a century of stories within them. If walls could talk, they would share tales of the families and lives that have filled this space over generations. Guests often remark on the good vibes here, where friendly spirits seem to linger and the atmosphere feels both welcoming and serene.
The home is set on a spacious corner lot, giving you privacy and room to spread out. There’s plenty of parking — even for oversized vehicles, motorhomes, or boats — so you can bring along your toys for Florida’s lakes and open roads. The quiet street and distance between neighbors make the property feel like its own little world, perfect for those who want to escape the noise of city life.
Step outside onto the backyard deck, where mornings are best enjoyed with coffee in hand and evenings invite conversation under the stars. The fenced backyard makes it easy to relax knowing children or pets can safely roam. This home is proudly pet-friendly, welcoming your furry family members to join in your stay.
Inside, you’ll discover the perfect mix of character and comfort. Original details remind you of the home’s history, while blackout drapes in the bedrooms ensure sunlight won’t disturb your rest. You’ll find each space filled with charm, warmth, and thoughtful touches designed to make you feel at home.
When you’re ready to explore, the location couldn’t be better. Several parks are nearby, downtown Kissimmee is just minutes away with its shops, festivals, and restaurants, and Lake Tohopekaliga — with its marina, trails, and unforgettable sunsets — is only blocks away. The area also offers plenty of scenic bike trails and beautiful golf courses, perfect for active guests who want to enjoy Florida’s outdoors. And of course, Central Florida’s world-famous attractions are close by: Disney is about 30–40 minutes, Cocoa Beach and Melbourne an hour, and Tampa a bit further but ideal for a day trip.
Whether you’re here for history, relaxation, or adventure, this home offers a unique experience that stands apart from modern rentals. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a place to feel connected, to rest deeply, and to create stories of your own within its storied walls.
