Map & Owner's Profile
Immaculately Maintained Luxury Townhome at a Great Price
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Terra Verde Resort
We bought the vacation rental in this location partly so we could have the benefit of personally using it, since we live just 3 hours from this area. Terra Verde was a natural choice of resort as it is beautifully designed, architected and landscaped in a way that makes it stand apart from so many of the Kissimmee area resorts.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome
We enjoy the luxuriously appointed clubhouse, lakeside pool and tiki bar area. The concierge/clubhouse staff at Terra Verde are very professional and are directly employed by the homeowner association comprising of actual owners who have a vested and passionate interest in keeping the resort in top notch condition. Poinciana Boulevard is one of very few streets to have its own on-ramp onto the Osceola Parkway (a fast expressway that leads right into the heart of Disney World) so we find the route into Disney very convenient and almost never congested.
Owner's Map of Terra Verde Resort
We are Andy and Tess Dent, husband-and-wife owners of this Terra Verde town tome.
Andy grew up in England before immigrating to North America in 1991, first to Canada for a spell, and has resided in the US for the past 14 years.
Tess grew up in the Philippines before immigrating to Canada in 1987 and then to Florida in 1996. Tess takes great pride in our own South Florida home and equally in our Terra Verde property, and has a passion for organization, neatness and cleanliness.
Between the two of us with our diverse backgrounds, we are able to relate well to our guests who also come from many different nationalities.
We are full-time Florida residents ourselves, and have been for the past 12 years. If you are contemplating booking your accommodation with us, you can take much comfort in this fact alone.
In contrast, the majority of vacation homes in the Orlando area are owned by "absentee owners" and investors, including many who live overseas. Obviously such owners find it difficult to maintain much (if any) personal oversight of their properties, often trusting them entirely to property management companies.
Although we don't live on the doorstep of Terra Verde (we live in South Florida), we do make frequent trips to Terra Verde approximately every 2 months, often for several days at a time. We have a great deal of involvement in the upkeep and maintenance of our property, and devote a lot of personal time to deep cleaning, and adding personal touches. We like to think that it shows, especially in the details. We do use a trusted management company for routine cleaning, routine maintenance, inspections and any urgent guest issues that may arise. We feel we have an optimum blend of personal property oversight, complemented by professional service providers, that results in our guests being pleased with their choice to book with us.

We stayed at this townhome for a little over a week and couldn't have been happier with our accomodations. Booking went very smoothly and the communication from the owner was very fast (emails were answered within a couple of hours). The townhome was clean and came with everything we needed (besides toiletries such as soap, detergent, etc). We were a short drive from Disney (about 15 min) and close to several outlets, shopping centres, and plenty of restaurants. The townhome was priced very well, and we will definitely stay here again on any future trips to Florida.

We had a great time staying in this unit. The owners were very kind and accomodating, and gave us great information and timely response to any questions we had. The townhouse was stocked with just about everything you would need, and neatly organized and labeled. All we brought was our food, toilet paper, shampoo/soap, and laundry detergent. We will look into staying here again next time we go to Orlando.

Nice, comfortable townhome with plenty of room--looks just like the pictures. Pool and clubhouse were excellent and had lots of extras. Everything was labled and easy to use. Having extra tvs in the rooms was perfect for our kids (who are 10 and 7 yrs. old). The owners even have a small dvd library for guest use. My only suggestion would be to have a king bed in the master for more room. This was a great place for such a good price! Anyone with little kids would feel right at home!

My family loved the Townhome. The 4 of us stayed a week and did not want to leave. The owners were always helpful and the Townhome and resort are wonderful. Everything one could want is at the Townhome and/or resort. We hope to go back in a few years. Close to Disney and to all the shopping one could want. Had family's on each side of us and you would not have known as it is still very quite! I give this Townhome and Resort 5 stars!!!!

I am a clean freak & I was very impressed with my stay with the Terra Verde. I loved staying in the condo because it is spacious & its like you are at home , not a hotel room & the price is great also. We went to the pool a few times & even checked out the sauna room.They have a game room, excercise room, jacuzzi, etc. , I cant see staying in Disney for thousands when you can stay at a place like this. Disney is very close. We would spend the day at Disney & come home & I would make dinner then we would go back at night to see the fireworks. I will recommend the Terra Verde to my friends & if I go back to Florida this is where I will stay.

Our 2 week stay at Terra Verde was very satisfactory and a great experience! The tenants provided all the needed information in order to make the arrival very smooth. The house came with everything we needed and the tenants were very responsive and helpful to any questions. For travelers with babies/small children the house also has all the basic things you need. The resort is nice, quiet and clean and the facilities appears to be in good condition. We would highly recommend staying at Terra Verde and the tenants of 4748 Vero Beach.

My husband and I recently stayed at the beautiful Townhome in Kissimmee, fl. Everything was exactly how they described it. Everything was extremely clean and you had all of the comforts of home. The location was very close to disney and about 25 min from universal (which is where we went) There is also a lot of shops a grocery stores near by. The townhome has a full kitchen with everything you need in it making cooking easy. All you need to do is bring the food. We would recommend this place to anyone.

We stayed at an expensive WDW resort our last stay 2 years ago and although we enjoyed it, it wasnt comparable to our stay at Terra Verde. The gated community is quiet, almost too quiet with the exception of the occasional passing airplane (small personal planes). The drive to any of the local attractions is short (~10-20 min max) and not very congested as its on the outskirts of the city of Kissimme. The gate staff is pleasant unlike some locations I have visisted. The clubhouse is great as well with a game room and cardio room (no free weights here). On to the townhome itself. When we arrived it was clean, and more spacious than we expected. You are provided with a full kitchen as well as plates, cups, an two sets of utensils. The refrigerator was clean, although I am not sure why the ice maker does not produce ice that was just a minor inconvenience. A half bath downstairs, a full bath attached to the master, and a second full bath in the hallway. All bedrooms are upstairs so you wont disturb sleeping party members. The TV's are small, but who watches TV on vacation? The gated back patio is very nice as it provides privacy and backs up to a protected nature zone. We are very pleased with our stay and we will be staying here again next year. I would recommend this townhome to anyone wanting to visit the orlando area.

The place was very functional and very clean. Owners were very easy to deal with and check in and out was easy. We spent virtually all of our time in the parks so size wasn't an issue, but the unit would feel tight for a large family (5 or more) if you were stuck inside all day. We'd stay there again.
