    The condo unit was wonderful ! The complex is in a nice location.. Very convenient to Disney World ! The staff was very helpful and friendly . We called on short notice and Gary was able to find us a unit that met our needs ! He didn't have his unit available, but he located another one for us ! He went above and beyond what we would have expected him to do . We will definitely be staying here again !!

    We were a group of three adults and two kids for a three night stay for a wedding in downtown Orlando, though I will certainly keep this resort in mind when we visit Disney World the next time. We stayed in a lovely 3-bedroom unit 2 bath unit, fireworks view (building 5, room 51102). Cons: The traffic during "rush hour" when everyone was heading to Disney World could get really bad on S. Apopka/Vineland Rd, but I think that was aggravated by the presence of Tropical Storm Debby so it is hard to tell if that is regular traffic or particularly bad with the storm. Parking was limited if we arrived back at the resort late in the evening, but we could always find street parking directly in front of the building. The turn into the resort is a street called "LBV Factory Stores Drive" which doesn't show up on GPS or Google Maps. :) We had family staying at the nearby Hilton Downtown Disney, and because the building access requires a key code for safety, each time they visited us, someone would have to meet them downstairs to let them in. Pros: The location is two intersection turns to Disney World. It is convenient to I-4, International, World Drive, Publix, and Walmart. The on-site restaurant (Irish pub) had decent food with large portions at a fair price, and delivery was quick. The kids liked eating at the pool side cafe for their breakfast bagel. The Pizza Hut on site has quick delivery. Even though we encountered a tropical storm, our kids had a wonderful time at the arcade to pass the time since the roads from the storm made traveling treacherous. The arcade is on the small side, and the games quickly eat up $$$, but our kids (under 8) had a great time. When the rain let up, they enjoyed the hot tubs, the pools, and especially the pirate ship slide. We thought the pirate ship was a climbing water feature, but it turns out just to be a slide. We had two issues that required maintenance which was there very quickly. Once, our 4 year old locked one of the bedroom doors. We figured out later that we could just use a kitchen knife to unlock the door. The second time a toilet was not flushing properly. Maintenance resolved that right away as well. The service was fantastic! The unit clean and well furnished. Having a washer and dryer was especially helpful with young children. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend renting from the owners who are courteous, honest, and very fast to respond to queries. I would definitely recommend them!

    I just submitted a review, but forgot to mention how enjoyable it was to watch the fireworks from the balcony the nights we were not at a park to watch them firsthand. Loved it!!! Again, would definitely stay there again

    We booked a trip to disney, had our kids, ages 30, 24, 20 and our grandson age `12. The condo had plenty of room for us, was so clean, loved having the washer and dryer. We loved the pool area, when we wanted to stay at a park late for fireworks, we would go to the pool early, had lunch there a few times over the week, everything was great. Would absolutely rent this condo again!!!

    My family and I stayed here from September 27-October 2. It was wonderful. The condo and resort were just beautiful. We had three adults(45,42,67) and three children (11,10,6). We did Universal Studios, Hollywood Disney and Magic Kingdom, Animal KIngdom, Wide World of Sports and Epcot, Back to Universal on Saturday. I ran in the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon. Like everyone else in other reviews say, take a day and enjoy the pool and resort it is magnificent. If Ben is behind the poolside bar, he is your go to guy if you want advice on where and what to do at the parks. The condo was nice for us, our only regret was not spending more time there. The staff were great and most accomodating.

    This was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever experienced. The resort is beautiful, and staff was friendly and helpful. The unit itself was immaculate - everything brand new and up to date. We brought our three young adult children and all had plenty of room. We were so busy at Disney and Universal, that we wish we had planned an extra day or two just to enjoy the pool and wonderful poolside bar. Can't say enough about how nice this unit and resort were.

    This condo is fantastic! Our group included three adults, and three children 17,8 & 6. There was plenty of room for all of us. The accomodations were clean, comfortable and spacious. It is close to all the disney parks and numerous restaurants. The kids loved the pool with the pirate ship slide. Our only regret was we didn't have enough time to spend hanging out there. This condo allowed us all to stay together in one suite and was cheaper than two hotel rooms. We would definitely recommend this condo to other families and will stay here again when we return to Orlando. One note to teanagers - This building does not have wi-fi. You can hook up to the internet through an ethernet cord available at the desk. But only one person can use it at a time. Also there is wi-fi near the pool.

    We stayed for 13 nights in Feb/March. The three bedrooms worked perfectly as the grand parents stayed with us for half of the time. The unit was large enough to provide space for everyone and very well maintained. We used the kitchen for several meals. There could be a few more cooking utensils (salad tongs) and something you could use in the oven. The frying pans and pots had plastic handles so do not think these could not be used in the oven. The internet connection worked well but is wired so bring your Ethernet cable. There is a wireless hotspot by the pool. We took the shuttle to the theme parks on many occasions. The Disney shuttle leaves at 8:55AM and 9:40AM, while the Sea World Shuttle leaves at 9:40AM. The returns are around 6:20PM and 10:30PM. We all loved the onsite pool and hot tubs, the kids (7 and 9) loved the pool and slide, while I loved the hammoks. Parking can be a small issue if returning late as we had to park behind the next building one night but in general it is not an issue. Orlando has many toll roads so bring some small bills when driving to and from the airport. There are many stores in the area. The outlet mall is just a 2 minute walk away and the are many more stores and restaurants within a 5 minute drive. We got to see the shuttle launch which was a highlight of our trip. Kennedy Space Center is about 50 minutes East and well worth the drive, toll roads again. If you are looking for a place that is a little quieter (not a launch day) than a theme park and educational I would suggest KSC. The owners, Donna and Gary, were great at communicating and made us feel at home before we even arrived. I would definitely stay here again.

    This condo complex is an excellent location for family gatherings, and Disney fun! This unit is furnished very nicely, with great beds (2 kings, with 2 doubles instead of the typical 2 twins is a definite plus for adults!) We would definitely recommend this unit to family and friends, and will stay here again. The Irish pub on site has great food, is an easy walk, as well as the outlet shopping center next door. (We didn't have time to check out the on site spa!) Complex is very private and out of the "mainstream" bustle, but close to all attractions at Disney. Condo's are very "quiet", with no intrusions from "neighbors", and very spacious for our family of 6 adults, a 5 year old, and an 11 month baby. We found this unit VERY clean and well maintained, with friendly staff. Give Gary and Donna a call to reserve your next vacation! Thanks guys for sharing your vacation spot with our family.

    We enjoyed our stay very much - our suite was very clean, spacious & had a fantastic view. Loved the tropical decor. We could see the 8 o'clock fireworks from the balcony and from 2 of the bedrooms, and the 9 o'clock Epcot fireworks could be viewed from 2 of the bedrooms. We could also see the air balloon in downtown Disney from the bedrooms. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a good size - plenty of storage in the closet in the 2nd bathroom so sharing it is not a problem. Having a television in each of the bedrooms came in very handy and offered us more privacy when needed. We used the shuttle service to Disney a couple of times, 8:55 was the earliest pick-up time available, not sure what the other pick-up time was. We chose the 6:20 return shuttle but there was a later return one also. We made several meals in our suite, which had almost everything we needed, but a pan for the oven would have been helpful. There are also lots of restaurants within close driving distance. We were there the first week of February - pool was heated at a lower temperature but was still comfortable - it was nice to be able to put one of the beach chairs in the shallow area and just relax with our feet in the water. Our son is 4 and he spent most of his time playing in the pool with a toy alligator from Gatorland - he had to go down the slide with an adult because it is very fast - once was enough for him but older children would love it for sure. We also loved the hot tubs. We found the location to be very convenient for visiting the amusement parks and shopping. The owner provided quick replies to our inquiries, and all the staff around the resort were very friendly and helpful. We did not eat at the restaurant on site, nor did we use the spa facilities so I cannot comment on them. Would definitely return and recommend!

    My husand, 2 kids, and my father stayed for 5 nights and had a FANTASTIC time! This condo is the PERFECT fit for anyone visiting Disney. It is literally minutes from the entrance, and if you aren't going to any of the parks, the POOL is wonderful as well! We really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back for years to come! THANK YOU!!!!!

    My wife, 2 daughters and I stayed here in June 2010. Loved the accomodations and location relative to Disney and SeaWorld. The pool was our daily relaxation after visiting the theme parks. Kids loved the pool and pirate ship. We loved the walk in shower and jacuzi tub. :-) Even saw a turtle in the lake beside the condo - the girls liked that! This was our family vacation aftre I returned from a year in Iraq. The owner cut us a deal we couldn't beat anywhere. Thank you!
