The space
Sunset Haven is a private lakefront home on Lake Howard in Winter Haven’s Southern Chain of Lakes, designed for gathering, connection, and easy indoor-outdoor living for families and small groups — a favorite for family trips and tournament weekends.
The home includes two private suites that offer separation and privacy for couples or multi-generational families traveling together — a King Heron Suite and a Queen Swan Suite. Additional sleeping spaces include a bunk room best suited for younger children, a Pirate Room with a twin trundle, and a flexible office with a futon for additional guests.
All bedrooms include quality linens and thoughtful touches for a comfortable stay. Additional flexible sleeping options are well suited for larger families traveling with children.
The main living area is bright and open, with large windows framing the lake and filling the home with natural light.
The fully stocked kitchen handles everything from quick breakfasts to full family dinners and flows directly into the dining and living areas, opening to the screened pool and hot tub space. Outside, a covered dining table and comfortable seating make relaxed meals and easy indoor-outdoor living feel natural.
The saltwater pool may be heated by request for $125 per stay, allowing comfortable swimming year-round. The hot tub is included and kept heated year-round.
Step across to the private dock for sunset views, fishing, or slow mornings by the water with coffee. Evenings often end with the sky turning orange over the water.
While the setting feels relaxed and lakefront, major Orlando parks — including Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld — are typically 35–55 minutes away, depending on traffic.
Grocery stores, coffee shops, and downtown restaurants are minutes away.
The space feels open, comfortable, and connected — equally suited for gathering together or finding a quiet moment to unwind. A place to slow down and spend time together by the water.
