A Disney Home away from Home

Date of Stay: 12/15/11 Review Submitted: 01/16/12

Our family of 5 stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Disney. The new renos are lovely... and the bed configurations fit our family perfectly. We loved the access to Disney.. literally an 8 min walk down the Magic Way to hop on a shuttle, or 12 min walk to Downtown Disney. The property is immaculately clean and includes so many 'extras' that make it feel like you are home. The laundry room in the unit is awesome.. to be able to keep on top of the 'mountain' of laundry was very easy and thanks for providing the laundry soap!!! It is the best way to have a well rested family while enjoying Disney! Very highly recommended and we would definitely stay again if we are passing this way again. Thanks!!!!!

Our Stay was Wonderful at the Condo.. It was close to Disneyland, Quiet, Wonderful For our Family Vacation over the Holidays, We were so excited that it had a lot of of things that you wouldn't actually have in a hotel, We thought it was a great idea and we will definitely Go for this type of Stay on our next vacation as well. Thank you Anaheim Sunset!! it' was great.

We were very pleased with our recent stay at the Anaheim Sunset. The location was unbeatable! The condo itself is an older unit, but it was clean, well-maintained, and nicely remodeled, plus it had every amenity one could need. The kitchen was fully-equipped (including many condiments in the fridge), there was laundry soap in the laundry room, there were plenty of extra towels plus shampoo, lotion, etc... in the bathrooms, there was a large assortment of DVD's, etc... They haven't missed a thing! Additionally, we were greeted with a basket full of of snacks that were handy to take to Disneyland and help cut down on our food costs. The best thing of all was just having extra space that you don't get staying in a hotel room. We were a group of 5 (our family of 4 plus an exchange student) and we would have been way too cramped in a hotel room, and two hotel rooms would had have been too expensive and would still be lacking all of the amenities that the Anaheim Sunset provided. This was a perfect solution all the way around! We would definitely recommend this property to anyone traveling to Disneyland!

Our stay at the Anaheim Sunset was fantastic, clean,well equipped for cooking lots of towels & bedding comfortable beds brand new couch which was delivered just before we arrived. As everyone says 5 min. walk and you can take the tram into Downtown Disney . This trip was to celebrate our 2 grand daughters birthday's 5 & 8 yrs. old, we had perfect weather & were able to go back to condo for rest times, lunch or what ever if you have young children the magic height is 42 inches if your kids are not that height they will not be allowed to go on many rides. Thank you Jermey for keeping us informed prior to our stay and also for the welcome basket. P.S. bring buy or rent a GPS if you plan to drive.

So close to Disneyland

I could not believe we could have found a condo in such close proximity to Disneyland. Very comfortable walking distance to the Disneyland entrance or even quicker to jump on the shuttle from the Disney carpark to the main entrance. The condo itself was lovely. Older style but pristinely clean and very nicely decorated. I have just read that it is about to renovated - freshening it up will certainly make it 5 star. It was like walking into a home. There were toys and DVD's for kids. A stroller and portable cot should they be required. Also all those useful bits and pieces that you have when you're at home - pens, paper, sticky tape, scissors, wi-fi. Toiletries were provided. There was plenty of linen (including beach towels for use at the pool) and supplies of such things as toilet paper etc. The kitchen was well stocked with condiments should you choose to cook. Another major bonus for families is the laundry facility - washing machine and drier. There was a very generous basket of 'goodies' left on the table for us on arrival - packets of chips, snack bars, trail mix, bottled water etc which was very much appreciated. We are a family of 5 and we were most comfortable. Our only regret was that we didn't spend much time at the condo as we were pretty much at Disneyland and California Adventure the whole time. The kids did have a couple of quick swims - the pool area was very nice and very clean. Sherie was exceptionally pleasant to deal with from our first enquiry. We came in on a very early (very long) flight and had enquired if there would be anywhere to leave our bags until check-in time. Sherie advised that as no-one was checking out on the day we arrived, we could check in as soon as we arrived. This was fabulous as it meant we could leave our bags, get changed and head straight off to Disneyland. I would highly recommend Anaheim Sunset to anyone heading to Disneyland.

This condo was absolutely wonderful during our stay, exactly what we were looking for for our trip to Disneyland. We did a 3-day park hopper and it was SO wonderful to be able to take a break in the middle of the day and be at the condo within 10-15 minutes to be able to put our kids down for naps (ages 4 and 2), and then head back later in the afternoon for more fun once our kids were rested and fed. We are previous owners of a vacation rental on VRBO (we now rent the condo to someone full time) and I know how difficult it is to maintain and run a VRBO rental. I was very impressed with how organized and clean everything was. The linen closet was perfectly stocked, all the dishes we needed were there, and the toys and movies for the kids were great. I noticed a poor review prior to our trip about the bathroom being a disaster area and was suddenly really nervous, wondering if we were about to check into a complete dump! I didn't need to worry. Yes, it would be great to update and remodel that particular bathroom, but for us it was perfectly clean and if I hadn't read that review I wouldn't have even thought about it. Maybe the management is using a different cleaning company? I don't know, but for us everything was very, very clean and comfortable. The fans in all the rooms were an added perk, as we like to sleep with fans on at home for the comfort and white noise they create. One downside is that we were hoping to use the stroller that is listed in the description, but it was definitely missing. We brought our other one that we used for our 2-year old so it wasn't that big of a problem, but we were hoping to have a backup to use for our 4-year old when he started to get tired of walking everywhere. I actually ended up going to Walmart and buying a $15 umbrella stroller that worked great. Also unless you want to go to Downtown Disney, make sure you find the shuttle station that takes you to the Disney parks. It is a very short walk to get there but the first day we weren't even aware of it so we kept walking all the way through Downtown Disney, which was still very doable but a lot more walking overall. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone and already have told several friends and family how great it was!

Owner response:thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I'm sorry about the stroller, we actually have one in the storage closet for use.

Great location & very comfortable for a family

Our family of 3 stayed at the Anaheim Sunset on our recent trip to Disneyland. The location was perfect since we wanted to walk to Disneyland and not have to take a shuttle or tram. It took us 15 minutes to walk to the park entrance with our 3 year old daughter in a stroller. We were able to come back for afternoon naps easily and then return to Disneyland or Downtown Disney in the evening for some more fun. The condo was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed (portable crib, step stools in the bathrooms, kids dishes, cups & cutlery, toys, wi-fi). The only thing missing was a stroller which we were promised but we ended up bringing one to use at the airport anyway so it wasn't an issue. We were pleased at how clean and tidy the condo was as we are very particular about that. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed (including basic condiments like salt, pepper, & sugar which most places don't keep). We only ate breakfast there but could have made all our meals there. The kitchen could have been better maintained as the older cabinets were sticky when you opened them. The bathrooms were clean but in need of an upgrade. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds were fairly comfortable. All in all, our family enjoyed our stay at the Anaheim Sunset - it was perfect for our 3 night stay - a much better option than a hotel for us. The welcome basket of treats and bottled water was very thoughtful. Sherie was awesome to deal with and responded to our questions quickly. She was also very prompt at returning our damage deposit which was appreciated. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Disneyland Visit

First of all this condo had everything we needed for our visit,everything from the stroller down to having access to the pool. It was literally a hop,skip, and a jump from Disneyland. It was great to be able to walk back in the afternoon and let the kids take naps and eat lunch without having to get in the car and "load" everything up every time we went out.The proximity to Disneyland and the amenities is the major plus for this property.On the other hand the aesthetics of this property needs a serious upgrade! The upstairs bathroom needs to be remodeled, the tub and sink were outright atrocious. The cleaning in the kitchen needs to be better detailed. I went to use a pot to boil some water and the pot still had bits of leftover food on it! I couldn't believe it. Whoever does the cleaning to this property must clean more thoroughly. The cabinets were sticky when I opened them and that also turned me off to the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the place. I highly recommend that the owner or whoever is in charge of making a decision to upgrade or remodel this place take this review into consideration. As of the current condition of the property I would say this is fair because of all the amenities the unit has what a traveling family needs. I would rate it as poor because of the lack of attention to detail in cleanliness of the kitchen and almost unbearable upstairs bathroom. Upgrading or remodeling this unit would make it a 5 star unit, until that happens it is a below average place with great proximity to Disneyland and use of a stroller if you need it.

Owner response:I am SO sorry about the dirty food in the pot!! That would absolutely gross me out too! I am truly sorry about your experience. I don't know if it's the cleaner's lack of work or if the previous renter's just "cleaned" it and put it back? I don't know, but I have made a note of it to the cleaner AND the owner of the condo. Thanks for letting me know about that. As far as upgrade to the condo...yes, we recognize it is an old condo/kitchen & bath. So, it will be remodel this coming October!! We are very excited about this. We'll be getting a completely new kitchen, new bathrooms (upstairs and down), carpet, and fireplace! After October, Anaheim Sunset condo will be in a much cleaner and newer place. =) We DO take every comments/reviews in to consideration. We want to make our Anaheim Sunset condo a more enjoyable place to stay for everyone!

My family of 3 stayed here and it was just great. The manager is a doll, she answered all my questions promptly, and was more than accomodating! The condo was clean and had everything we needed. The water/snacks provided were an unexpected bonus, and so useful to take with us to Disneyland. The walk to Disneyland/downtown Disney was so easy and quick, even our 5 year old didn't mind it at the end of a 8-9 hour day in Disney! Be sure to catch the nightly entertainment in Downtown Disney.....lots of good performers, especially a percussionist named C.G. Ryche! Thanks again, Sherie, for a wonderful stay and my son's first trip to Disney! He absolutely loved having stairs in the condo!! Running up and down was fun for him!!

Owner response:Thank you for staying at our condo Jaime! We would love to have your family come back and stay with us again soon!! We'll be sure to discount your stay next time you come.

This condo was perfect for our family of 6. The property is clean and well-maintained, and we loved the treat basket waiting for our family upon arrival. Working with Sherie was great, she was so helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. The condo is only a 5 minute walk to the tram that takes you right to Downtown Disney! It's a perfect location because it is away from the crowds but still very close. Our family will definitely be staying here again!

Owner response:Thank you Maddison for your kind and generous words! We would love to have your family come back again!
