Dates in May 2024 just opened for your summer enjoyment! ☀️😎

Welcome to our fantastic lake get-away. Nestled in the quaint community of Kingsley Lake, this is your home-away-from-home. The main house is three bedrooms and two baths with sofa beds and a sunroom with daybeds. Covered walkways will guide you to the cottage that sleeps 3 with a full bath. Everything has been fully renovated in 2013 and is completely modernized but still has the lake-life feel to engulf and totally relax you. In the house, just some of the things you will enjoy are Sleep Number Beds, 5 HD Direct TVs, WiFi, a deep-seated copper tub and true hardwood floors throughout. Enjoy fishing and boating year round, or just simply lounge in the hammock or porch gazing at the lake. Relax at several different sitting spots in the gardens surrounding the house to watch the Bald Eagles that are perching year round. If you are the fisherman, remember that over 14 lb largemouth bass have been caught in Kingsley Lake the last two years in a row. Bottom-line, must see the attached pictures to fully understand the beauty of this property.

WONDERFUL!!
Our family enjoyed 10 days at this beautiful home. Some in our group have vacationed on Kingsley Lake for over 60 years and it never disappoints! The Strickland's place made this year especially wonderful! This is not a "property" it is truly a home and you can relax just as if you are in your own! Everything you need to cook for a large family is there in the big kitchen with ample space for everyone to work or just hang out together! It is an easy walk to the water and there are stairs into the lake, not just a ladder! You will find everything is just like the pictures and the landscaping is beautiful! We DID catch fish right from the dock - even our five year old! We skied, wake surfed, tubed, floated, visited and had what everyone (ages: 5, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 35 37, 39, 39, 48, 52, 68, and 70) agreed was THE BEST! Thank you!

Lake vacation
We had a fantastic stay at Dawn’s property. We have stayed in a few houses at Kingsley lake but this one has by far been our favorite. The home is exactly how it is listed. It is very clean and well appointed and set up perfectly for a family to vacation together. Everyone in our group is looking forward to staying again next year!

Clean, inviting, homey and just plain a great place to spend our days enjoying the surroundings. All that we needed was provided. Didn't catch any fish but enjoyed the many boat rides. We enjoyed much food and played many games on the long table. A great time was had by all.

Another Great Stay at This Home on Kingsley Lake
This is our third stay at this home. We love the layout and the lake house feel. It is always clean. The dock is as good as they come with plenty of room under the cover of shade. Dawn is very accessible to answer any questions. We will be back.

Awesome week on the lake!!!
Second stay at this property and couldn't be more satisfied. The hosts are outstanding and the home and the lake couldn't possibly be any better. When our grandchildren arrived ( 4 and 6 year oleds) they immediately remembered this house from last year and exclaimed "this is my favorite house and my favorite lake". I agree with them wholeheartedly.

Not just a warm weather retreat!
You don't need me to tell you this home is beautiful - you can see the pictures (and they don't do it justice!) It's comfortable, well stocked, and suitable for any group. The owners are accommodating, maintain exceptional communication, and are so friendly that I feel as if I've borrowed a friend's vacation home each time we visit. I've rented this house 5 times, each time in fall/ winter months and enjoy it as much as anyone could during the warmer seasons. While the lake is the attraction, the home is the real star. We are always content enjoying the view from the kitchen, the porch, the deck, or the dock in any kind of weather. We will return to this property every chance we get. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Best birthday ever!
We celebrated my Mom’s birthday. We had family from all over the US converge on Kingsley Lake and could not have asked for a better experience. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house is very well decorated and homey. I can’t express how much we loved this stay. Thank you!

Rent this place now
If you are thinking about renting this place, DO IT! My grandmother lived on Kingsley Lake when we were growing up. Our happiest memories growing up, were made on this lake. So, my cousins and spouses decided to rent this house to make more memories. We were blown away! The house is beautiful! So accommodating. Lots of sitting areas. There was 9 of us. We never felt like we were crowded. The kitchen has everything you need. TV is cable ready so that we could watch football. We even watched some of our home videos in the DVD player. The lake is like no other lake in Florida. Super clean water. We swam all week! We can not wait to go back! Thank you Mrs. Strickland for sharing your home with us!

Family delight
Our family has gathered at this wonderful lake home for many years. We so look forward to lake week. All generations enjoy and strive to come for a day, a night or a meal together. The home is lovely and comfortable at the same time and has many options for gathering in small groups or finding solitude. The home, grounds, decks and dock are everything you could ask for in a lake retreat. We so appreciate the owners and the home they’ve created and share.

The Perfect Lake House
This property is on a crystal clear lake with a dock and awesome swimming area. The house had ample sleeping accommodations for my family of fourteen. The large kitchen and big tables were ideal for cooking and seating when eating. Long story short, my family absolutely adored this place and want to come back next year. If you want to see the sun rise over the lake every morning with your coffee this is it!

Incredibly beautiful!
We had the most wonderful stay in this home, with delicious home cooked meals devoured by grandchildren who are usually picky eaters. Hours spent in the water, watching them jump from the dock, squealing and laughing. The home is exquisite, providing our every need. We are all looking forward to next June, when we will be back!

Breathtaking Kingsley Lake!
This was our second stay at this beautifully unique home! As the grandparents, we hosted our four daughters, their spouses, friends, and our four grandchildren. Two of them had stayed previously, but two had recently moved back from Texas, and were able to share the fun on "that clear lake". The week flew by with blessedly beautiful weather and the opportunity to spend the days on the water. We enjoyed boating, tubing, knee and wakeboarding, and skiing. ALL of our grandkids (ages 6-11), successfully mastered the kneeboard before we left! And they all want to come back next year. This property provides all the amenities of home, and allows large groups the opportunity to spend time together. It was a great experience! If you visit this property, there is a wonderful pizza place in Starke, Tony and Al's on Call Street (about 15 minutes away). Try the Grandma or Roma pizza.

Truly Magnificent!
This property had everything we were looking for and more. The docks, the water, the yard, the views. Lots of room for a large group to enjoy being together without being on top of each other. And the house was even more special!! Even after being there for 5 days I was still seeing different things that made me realize the owners have spent many years making this property special. Many thanks for the wonderful memories created for my family.
