We really enjoyed our time at your beautifully decorated townhome. From the moment our family walked in the door, we felt so welcomed and at home! Everything we needed was at hand. The decor was much more beautiful than the pictures could ever show! It was so nice to be so close to the Clubhouse, only a short 3 minute walk. Also, we enjoyed walking to and spending some time at the beautiful park, which is only seconds away. It was also very nice having the south facing lanai and pool with the privacy behind it. We sat there every morning and evening and it definitely was very relaxing after visiting the parks in the day. Thanks so much for your hospitality and sharing your home with us.

Owner response:Thanks you so much for your thoughtful review. I am thrilled that you enjoyed our townhouse and its location. Hope we can accomadate you again if you are going to vacation in Kissimmee again!

This townhouse is the complete package! I looked at so many on VRBO & have no regrets selecting this property.The location is fantastic, only about 10 minutes drive to Disney World. There are several restaurants in the area along with a few grocery stores for quick & convenient shopping (loved the Super Target!). The gated community makes you feel very safe! The clubhouse has a wonderful pool & small fitness facitility. You can also rent DVDS at the clubhouse. The pictures of the townhouse do not do it justice... it's absolutely beautiful! Very clean & well maintained. You can tell the homeowners take pride in their property. The splash pool was an added bonus & we had it heated which was really comfortable. Having a high-chair available was an extra perk! My 9 month old baby loved the giant stuffed animals in her room! The owner was very quick at responding to any questions we had. One quick note...you will need to bring the basics (seasonings, garbage bags, dish soap, sponge etc) as there are no basics in the townhouse (ie. fridge is empty). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this beautiful property to anyone visiting Kissimmee/Orlando area. Hope to be back there next year! Thanks again for letting us stay in your property.

Owner response:Thank you so very much for your review. We are glad that you were able to see the amount of work and pride we take in the townhouse. So very happy that you enjoyed your vacation at our home. Regards, Vicky

Perfect home away from home!

As a recently blended family we had never stayed a week away from home in a confined area with three teenagers and we were a bit hesitant how this first trip to Disney would go. Walking into your home took all those worries away. It was clean, spacious, decorations we would have chosen for our personal home and a great location to everything we would need. Super Target and the grocery store are right down the street. Disney parks are all less than 10 mins away, we learned this trip quickly as we visited all the parks once and even some twice! We put all the kids upstairs and we stayed downstairs, hoping for a little more quiet time. The splash pool right off the living room was such a treat for the kids when they didnt want to walk up to the clubhouse, it was big enough for adults and teenagers. Washer and dryer are a great extra and even each room has hampers provided for the kids to keep dirty clothes in, these little things were noticed all over the house. We also requested a grill, costing not much for the week rental and were able to eat most meals at home, saving a lot of money when your feeding teenagers! Again this home is very clean, nicely decorated, stocked with dishes and everything you would need to cook for your stay and plenty of room. I would highly recommend this home. We would not hesitate if we were to return to Disney, we would stay hands down in this property again!! Thanks again for allowing our family to stay in your home.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words about your stay. We are glad that you had such a wonderful vacation, along with enjoying our home. You are welcome back any time!!! Vicky and John Daniska

Fears relieved

This was our family's first venture into the vacation home rental arena so I was afraid of the entire experience; however, the moment I turned the key and opened the door at 8:00 on a Sunday evening, all of my fears were relieved. What you see in the advertisement is exactly what you get and more! We were in total awe that we would be staying in such a nice home for a week for the price we paid. Staying in this home has renewed my faith in the family vacation. No longer will I dread going somewhere as long as I have an option such as this property. I truly felt like I was at home the entire week! My kids loved having their own room and bathroom and pool. They also loved the pool at the clubhouse. I loved the option of being able to cook breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner when I wanted to. My husband loved that everyone had their own television. From the ability to do our laundry without the added expense to the short distance to the parks and everything in between - we loved it all! Because of our experience in this home, I've already begun planning our next trip to the area. Thanks!

Owner response:Thank you wo much for the wonderful review! My husband and I are both thrilled that you were able to enjoy your vacation as well as the townhouse. Hope to see you back your next trip. John and Vicky

Disney Vacation

Guest: Jennifer (Tennessee)
Date of Stay: 03/19/11 Review Submitted: 03/29/11

We stayed in this condo for 7 nights and it was a great experience. The Benefits: 5 minute drive to disney! Very Clean and Spacious. My inlaws stayed downstairs and had their own adjoining bathroom. Our two small children shared a room upstairs with their own bathroom and my husband and I stayed in the master suite upstairs and enjoyed an extra large bathroom. The splash pool was a hit with the kids. We were able to eat breakfast in the condo every morning before disney as it has a full kitchen and dining area. Cable TV was included and it was nice to watch in bed after a long day at the parks. We also hadi internet access which we took advantage of. Very quiet neighbors. Condo was a very short walk to a very nice large pool and hot tub. Excellent price and cleaning fee was waived because we stayed 7 nights. Negatives - The dryer in the condo took an extra long time to dry clothes even when drying a very small load. This really wasn't a big deal since we consider the washer and dryer to be an added bonus to the condo. We would definitley consider staying at this condo again when visiting Disney or Orlando attractions. It was a very smooth vacation rental experience. The Owner responded quickly to all emails and their were no issues with the property management agencies. Would highly recommend to anyone considering this property for their vacation.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am glad that you enjoyed the townhouse as well as spending time at the parks. It was a pleasure to service your needs and answer your emails. You and your family are welcomed back any time! Take care. Vicky

Great place

This is a well maintained townhome, which worked well for my family, including young children. It is in the perfect location to Disney (12 minutes drive to Epcot lot for example), and has lots of nearby restaurants with takeout menus for when you leave the parks at the end of the day. It provided to be the perfect home base for our 8 day DisneyWorld odyssey. As an additional bonus, the property owner is very responsive and easy to work with.

Owner response:Hello, Thank you so much for your positive response. We are so glad that you and your family enjoyed your vacation as well as the townhouse. If you decide to visit Disney again, you are more than welcome to contact us again for a booking. Take care. Regards, Vicky and John Daniska

Spotless

Guest: LA (PA)
Date of Stay: 06/18/10 Review Submitted: 07/05/10

This home is absolutely spotless, comfortable and convenient. Our teens had their own bedroom and bathroom. The beds in the twin room are better for little ones than a teen but she survived. The other queen beds are extremely comfortable. My 6'1" son loved the huge shower in the downstairs bedroom. I didn't know what to expect for sheets and towels so we brought ours but never used them. Unlike a beach house in NJ or DE, the beds were made!!! (sheets were very good quality) and new, fluffy towel sets and beach towels were provided. The only thing you need to know, and it's not a criticism, just an FYI, is that unlike a beach rental in NJ or DE, there are absolutely no provisions provided or left behind by previous renters. I knew that only a starter toilet tissue and soap was provided, but held off on bringing anything else until we saw what was there. Usually when we get to a beach house there will be paper towels, foil, plastic wrap, coffee filters, trash bags, sugar, spices etc so we shop for what we need, and if we have something leftover, we leave it for the next family. There is literally NOTHING here, so you need to bring those things with you or buy them down there. 13 gallon trashbags are required--we bought 30gal by mistake before we saw that we'd be fined if we left more than two 13 gallon bags at a time (by the development, who collects the trash from a covered bench on the porch almost every day). The kitchen itself is very well stocked with plates, pots n pans, glassware, utensils etc. The location can't be beat. It really is a stone's throw from the parks. The common pool, gameroom and shop are all great and the development is very well maintained. The private splash pool is awesome (with an alarm on the door which can be disabled if there are no babies and a mesh fence) and a big flat screen tv is in the living area, with smaller ones in each bedroom, with DVD players. The gameroom rents movies. Baby stuff is provided in the house if you need it. A stacked W/D is convenient upstairs (don't forget detergent and dryer sheets). Plenty of closet space and hangers. To avoid the traffic on 192, make a right out of the development and drive about 4 or 5 miles. There is a large food store across the main road and a drug store on the left. Further drive, but no traffic or lights so it's quick. We would recommend this spotless, spacious, convenient town home to anyone. You just can't beat the value. We loved this home!!!

Owner response:Hello LA, Thank you for the great review and wonderful comments. We are delighted that you enjoyed our townhouse and especially thrilled that you noticed the extra effort that we put into providing better quality ammenities for our guests. It was our pleasure to provide you a vacation home during your stay at Disney. Hope we can provide services to you again sometime. Thanks again.

Beautiful Townhome

Our family had a wonderful vacation in your spacious townhome in February 2010. It was everything your ad described: luxurious furnishings, comfortable beds, and immaculately clean. We loved your heated pool even in the cool weather, and our girls appreciated having their own rooms with televisions. It is very close to Disney, shopping, restaurants, and it's located in a beautifully maintained, quiet and gated Windsor Hills resort . We will definitely recommend your townhome to our friends and relatives!

Owner response:Thank you so much for the great review. We are so very glad that you enjoyed the townhouse and all of it's ammenities. Thank you also for being willing to refer our townhouse to friend and relatives. Take care. Vicky and John

Fantastic location and fantastic home! For years we have stayed on the Disney property but chose to stay off location this year and are glad we did. The Disney parks are 10 minutes away, which is quicker to get to than taking Disney transportation from on-site locations. Also, you get a beautifully furnished home with plenty of room to spread out. We spent 5 days in the parks and were glad to come back to a nice home as opposed to our travel trailer or a hotel room. As much as I love to stay on the property, we will contact the owners of this property for our next trip to Disney.

Owner response:Thank you so very much for the wonderful comments. We are so glad that you enjoyed your trip and also the townhouse. Welcome back any time!
