Great Place - Great Price

Great place , great price, great location. Close to shopping and grocery store. Nice and clean, many aminities and the condo looks exactly like the pictures. We stayed for a week and the TV in both bedrooms as well as the living room made it easy to do some time alone whe we wanted. If you plan to take the shuttle to the theme parks, you need to sign up the day before instead of 8 hours per the instructions in the condo. If it is available, I will definitely book this place the next time I go to Orlando.

The location was great. Five minutes to Seaworld if you hit the lights well and it didn't take too long to get get to Disney either. Very nice place. Both bedrooms and the living room have their own TV for some alone time. If any neighbors are too loud just turn on the fan and you can sleep well.

PERFECT Condo!

Where to start? Maureen and John were immediately responsive to my initial inquiry and subsequent reservation. The price is UNBEATABLE. The condo is quiet, in the middle of a golf course, spacious, fully equiped and just as comfortable as being at home. They email you the door code, so no hassle of checking in/out or dealing with keys. In my party, there were 4 travelers, but two different families, so the two bedrooms and two baths were great for giving us a little space and private areas. Plus the balcony overlooking the golf course was a nice place to hang out in the evenings. It's very close to the pool, but on the opposite side of the building, so you're not hearing pool noise. There's a Publix about a mile away so you can stock up on groceries. It was about a 10 minute drive to Universal, which was our destination park for this trip. The on-site restaurant is awesome, affordable and yummy. The staff was wonderful. This is a diamond in the rough if you're traveling on a budget and WAY, WAY, WAY better than any other option at this price range... Don't hesitate to book it for your Orlando trip, IF it's available on your travel dates. Good luck and I hope your trip is as wonderful as ours was!!

Location and convenient are the keys - much better than stay at the hotel. We checked-in early, found out that the condo needs clean, call John & Marleen then they sent cleaner right away - they even gave back $25.00, which is very nice from them

Stayed for 1 week in May with hubby & 2 Elem. aged boys. This condo has a prime location being close to Seaworld, Aquatica & Discovery Cove. I wouldn't say it's within walking distance but very close driving or you can take the Bus transit which stops all up & down International Drive. Grocery Store & a few Restaurants close by. Easy to get to all other attractions. It was nice being able to spread out with the 2 bedroom/2 baths and we tried to eat 1 meal in per day. Kids enjoyed the pool & swam about every night. Hot tub nice after a long day. Condo was clean, a good value and what I'd expect for price paid.

We stayed here over Spring Break - it was our first time visiting WDW without staying at a Disney Resort. We were so happy with the condo. Our kids are 3 and 6 and they loved the pool - we swam in it everyday! The condo is very close to Downtown Disney and all of the Disney theme parks. We also spent two days at the beach - Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach were just under an hour away. Our kids loved watching the cruise ships leave from Port Canaveral. The condo is spacious and clean, and in a safe, quiet area with not a lot of traffic. There was a nice flat screen tv in both bedrooms and the living room and we were able to hook up a portable DVD player easily. The free wi-fi was a very nice feature. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The condo was perfect for our family and we hope to be able to stay again!

Two Month Stay

Guest: WB (Wisconsin)
Date of Stay: 02/01/11 Review Submitted: 04/07/11

We enjoyed our stay. The condo unit owners were responsive and very helpful. Resort was quiet and the staff was friendly and helpful. The adjacent golf course created a quiet and attractive setting. The pool area was very nice. The location was excellent to theme parks, especially Sea World and Disney. The condo unit was clean and as pictured. Bathrooms and bedrooms were well laid out. The balcony was accessible from the master bedroom and the living room, which was very convenient. TV's in both bedrooms and in the living room were a great feature. Kitchen contained plenty of dishes, cookware and utensils. Restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores and other shopping were close by. Access to and from the parking lot was very easy. There was plenty of parking in front of the building. It is great for families and seniors looking for a quiet setting with convenient access to the theme parks and other Orlando attractions.

Owner response:We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for being such great guests. Staying with us for two months really gave you ample time to get to know all that Orlando has to offer, and the convenience of being so close to everything. Hope to see you again!

My two granddaughters and I had a great time at your condo last month. We visited Discovery Cove and swam with the dolphins....it was just down the street. Like others have stated, your complex is park-like and quiet. Pool and hot tub was close to unit and nice. Neighborhood close to expressways and the outlet mall and safe. Be aware tho....you do need a car!! Even if you're only going to Sea World! Owners were quick with answers to my questions AND quick with return of my security deposit.Nice reasonable place!!

Owner response:Thanks for a lovely review. For those who don't have a car, there is a low cost shuttle to theme parks that stops on International Drive, with transfers at Sea World.

My husband and I stayed at the condo for two weeks in January- February and had a wonderful time. The rooms were clean and neat and really lovely. Location was perfect for Disney, Universal and especially Sea World. Plenty of places to eat, a grocery store 5 minutes away. We had car trouble and found a place that was convenient and friendly for repairs. All in all, a excellent stay.

Our family of three had a very enjoyable eight days stay in this condo. This place is very calm and serene. After a busy day at Disney, Universal and Kennedy Space Center, it was very relaxing to retire at home like setting in the evening. This is our first attempt to stay away from the hotels and it was pleasant. The owner(s) was prompt with correspondence and making the entire visit very pleasant and problem free. We would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

My son and I had a very pleasant stay at this condo. It was clean, quiet, and a very good location. I would and most likely return on my next visit if available. Could use a television upgrade, but we were on the go enough that it wasn't a issue. Pool was very nice.

Owner response:We will have to consider upgrading the TVs in the near future. Thanks for your comments.

It was sure nice to be able to get together and share meals together in a nice pleasant place. It is close to the attractions, so it is easy to come back for a rest or lunch. We would definetly stay here again without hesitation.

My wife, her sister, and I had a very enjoyable four nights in this condo. It’s located on the quiet end of International Drive in a beautiful park-like setting. A very pleasant neighborhood which was relaxing after a day spent fighting crowds at Disney World. Being senior citizens, we appreciated the quiet and peaceful environment. The condo is close enough to Disney that it is convenient to return for a relaxing lunch and swim during the heat of the day before returning to Disney for the evening activities. The condo is on the small side but entirely adequate for two couples or a couple with one or two children. My sister-in-law particularly enjoyed feeding the ducks from the second floor balcony. It was perfectly clean and well-stocked, (except for a missing TV remote in the second bedroom – no big deal). The community pool and hot-tub are conveniently located and appeared to be clean and well cared for. Being on the second floor and next to the stairs we were able to skip the elevator and walk up from the convenient and adequate parking lot. The owner was prompt with correspondence and returning my deposit, making the entire visit very pleasant and problem free.

Owner response:Please note that all TVs have been replaced in 2011 with flat screens in each bedroom and living area.

My boyfriend and I took a trip in Orlando in May 2008. We had the best experience at this condo. It is indeed in a very central location. The pool is right next to the building and was nice at the end of a long day. Our favorite feature is the balcony off the living space/master bedroom. We would definitely stay again if we go back to Orlando.

Owner response:These are some of the reasons why we bought this unit and visit several times a year.

Excellent location and price! The unit seemed larger than the pictures led us to believe. There's a king bed in the master BR with access to the small balcony, nice family room connecting to the dining area/kitchen. The separate bedroom with two more beds was great for the kids. For a family of 4, this is perfect. Everything was in good condition and very clean. I read some fairly mediocre reviews about Parc Corniche (the hotel that has, I think, similar style units on in other buildings on the same general property, on the web, but to be honest, they didn't seem to hold true. With this property, you're basically getting a better maintained unit with the only tradeoff being that you don't get daily cleanup like a hotel room. And for that you pay substantially less. I suppose you could get unlucky and have some noisy neighbor or something and not be able to move (the unit is on the 2nd floor of a 3-floor building, on the side, so only one unit next to the 2nd bedroom), but this was not the case and the other folks we ran into there were families similar to ours who were friendly and quiet. The owner of the unit was very responsive, professional, and a pleasure doing business with. I highly recommend it for any family on a budget.

Owner response:Thanks for your review. We are not affiliated with the management at Parc Corniche, and are very particular about the cleanliness and appearance of our unit.
