Enjoy a fully-furnished 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1600 square-foot, single-story house in the heart of Winter Park, a wonderful town that is adjacent to Orlando and that is home to an array of restaurants, galleries, museums, up-scale shops, businesses, professional offices, parks, lakes and hiking and biking trails. Rollins College is just minutes away from the house by car. Address: 1827 Mizell Ave. (Between Lakemont and Phelps)

The house has hardwood or tile flooring in most rooms; a large fenced backyard with a brick patio, lawn furniture, and a grille; front covered porch; and a concrete circular driveway.

We are a professional couple -- a retired architect and a university professor -- who live in Pennsylvania. Our daughter-in-law lives down the street from the house and manages it for us. We love the house and intend to use and enjoy it more fully in the future. We believe that you will like spending time in it. Contact us for additional information and availability.

Warm, inviting home!

This booking was our second time as guests of the Hartleys and we enjoyed it just as much the second time around. Staying at their home is like staying with good friends. We’ll miss the beautiful backyard and all the amenities in the home. They are lovely, gracious hosts!

Lovely Home in Charming WP Neighborhood

We stayed for a month with our 3 young children in this lovely home. It was well-supplied for a family stay, including plastic tableware for the children, puzzles, and books. The backyard is beautifully landscaped and fully fenced in for the children. Barbara was very responsive any time we needed anything!

Feels Like Home

The location and home were great. The home a traditional Floridian Ranch. Very comfortable and clear house manual. The backyard is beautiful. The office had everything to make work simple. I spent the majority of my trip alone. Very comfortable. Good home for grandkids too. You will need your own pack n play. They have kids dishes and cups. I will be coming back.

Perfect family stay

The house is perfect for family. It was one of the best stocked and organized house, with labels on every cabinet to make things easy to find. The beds were comfortable and the house was even more roomy than we expected. It was a perfect fit for our family of 4.

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Nell Hartley

We live in Sewickley, PA. Since our son was a student at Rollins, we have enjoyed spending time in the Orlando area.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home when Tom was working in Orlando and our adult son was caught up in an eight year cancer battle. After his death and our return to Pa., we listed our home on VRBO as a way to help out-of-town people who needed to be in Winter Park . Whether they were dealing with illnesses, joyful college visits and graduations , visiting the local colleges / universities or simply coming home to visit family without needing to all stay under the same roof. We recognize the need for people to have an affordable option once the Lankford and Best Western were torn down. We also needed to give ourselves time before making a decision about the house. Our first guests had lost everything in Katrina and rented our fully furnished from us for several years until the end of their lives. We like the opportunity of helping others.
Selfishly, our family enjoys coming to visit Winter Park, where we have fond memories , a wonderful daughter-in-law and local friends. Being retired we are able to spend many winter months in this home. Renting our home to others helps to defray our costs. We especially like the idea of children's enjoying their time here.

What makes this property unique

The floor plan, brick-paved patio, beautiful fenced-in backyard,and master bedroom porch are among our favorite aspects of the home. The bedrooms and bathrooms are on either side of the large living area.The unique floor plan provides privacy for couples traveling together and or parents and children. The arrangement and furnishings support entertaining.
