My husband and I travel to Florida for 2-4 weeks every winter to escape the Northern cold for a while. This year we picked this house in Haines City. We always get a house with a heated pool and spa, because that is my main activity while in Florida. Despite the consistent 60s degree weather (coldest visit we have ever had), I was able to enjoy the pool almost every day. The pool has a gas heater which makes a big difference. It warmed up very quickly every day. While we had an issue with the spa, the management company was very responsive. And although it took longer than I would have liked, they were dedicated to getting it resolved for me. The pool is very private too, hedges, bushes and walls provide the coverage.
The house is very nice, clean and open. Big kitchen and living room. Huge master bathroom too. Beds were comfy and TVs in every room, even outside (just too cold for us to eat outside and use the tv.) Appliances all seemed very new.

My only negative is location. We like to eat out a lot. But the number of sit down full service restaurants nearby is small. But if you do go out, make sure to go to Manny’s Chophouse. Great food and best restaurant nearby. A popular favorite so use their call ahead feature.
