  This was my first time renting from Ken, so I was a little leary. All my fears were put to rest. Ken always returned emails when we had questions. Upon arrival the home is beautiful and was perfect for my family. This was my cousins first time to Florida and she fell in love with the home. The only negative is to maybe add some banking pans. We cooked a lot of our meals and needed a pan for brownies lol We will definitely be back!!! Thanks Ken

  Like the title states, the house was perfectly adequate for our family of 4. The home is very large, has a great pool and jacuzzi and was clean. We were there for our daughters' dance competition and several families from our dance studio stayed in Windsor Hills. As a result, we got to see several homes in the subdivision. Although some of the homes had nicer, more professional decor, this home very adequately served its purpose and the value we received for the price we paid was excellent. Ken was very responsive to every question or request. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful week!

  We brought our 4 adult children with their 4 spouses and 4 young grandchildren to florida for 2 weeks and spent 5 days in orlando at this home. Having had both good and bad experiences with vrbo properties previously we are always a bit apprehensive as we pull into the driveways of the homes we have rented. As soon as we walked into this home any concerns we had completly disappeared. We were greeted with very high ceilings, a dining table already set for 8, nicely furnished and childproofed and a warm and inviting kichen and family room area. There were 5 bedrooms in total. 4 large bedrooms, 3 of which have ensuites and one with the full bathroom right outside the door and another average sized bedroom with a bathroom just outside the door. The pool was large enough for our family. It is about a 15 minute drive from the driveway to the parking lots of any of the Disney properties. We were able to park 4 cars at the property. 2 in the garage and 2 on the driveway. There is a Publix and Target within 3 or 4 miles. the home is very clean and the garbage is collected every day except wednesday. The owner responded to all of our emails immediately, usually within 10 minutes. Despite the large size of our family we were very comfortable in this home and will definitely be returning here on future vacations. thank you again, Ken, for your part in a wonderful vacation.

  This was a trip of a lifetime I had planned for my son, daughter and their families. In total we had 5 adults and 4 children under 10 years of age including an infant. The layout of the home was perfect! The five bedrooms and five bathrooms provided everyone with their own space and privacy. When you were in your bedroom you felt as if you were the only one's in the house. Also, the kitchen and dining area were perfect for our large family. We did not eat at a restaurant the entire time ! Every night we had a family dinner and discussed the excitement of the day. The location of the home was perfect! It was within 10-15 minutes to the gates of Magic Kingdon, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Sea World. We were so close that we only used one vehicle for the entire time. That's right! It was so close that we made two trips each way to the theme parks everyday and it was no problem at all! On the days that we didn't go to the theme parks, the kids enjoyed the pool while the adults enjoyed the covered lanai! The kids spent the entire day and evening in the pool only taking a breaks to eat and watch the Disney Fireworks each night! The entire exprience was magical and we still talk about it to this day. The location and amenities are the perfect set-up for families traveling to Florida on a Disney Vacation. I've reccommended Windsor Hills and specifically this home to all of my friends back home without hesitation.

  I have never rented a private home before, and I have to say this was a wonderful experience. The owner is super nice and responds quickly to any questions you might have. The home was very nice, it was much larger than I expected. The rooms were all very spacious with high ceilings. My family of six (2 adults, 4 kids) stayed here the first week in January. On previous Disney trips we have rented two hotel rooms in one of Disney's value resorts ~ for 2 cramped rooms without so much as a mini-fridge we paid much more than this spacious home where we could all spread out with a full size kitchen to help keep the food costs down. I think my kids were almost as excited to have their own bathroom as to visit Disney! The private pool & hot tub was wonderful after a long day in the park, and I love that the backyard is more private than many of the other lots. We did see the nightly fireworks in the distance from the pool area, also we arrived on New Years Eve and there was a BIG display close by that night! The home was very clean, as was the entire resort area. We never made it out to the clubhouse area, there was just too much else to see and do! The resort is literally 10 minutes drive to the Disney gates, and about 20 minutes to Universal. It was close enough that a couple times we came back to the home midday for lunch and a swim (which we never did when staying "on-site"). I actually think it was quicker & less hassle driving into the parks from this home than it was when we had to wait around in the Disney resort shuttle bus lines, especially at the end of the day when everyone is leaving. There is a Publick right down the road where you can grab some groceries as well as some pizza places for nights when you don't want to cook. I will be recommending this home to all my friends and will definitely be back! The home did have a few pool floaties and some umbrella strollers could be found in the garage. There were plenty of towels and dish/flatware as well as pots and pans. There was a roll of toilet paper, hotel type mini toiletries & a hairdryer in each bathroom, paper towels in the kitchen and a few trash bags. I would recommend bringing some 13 gallon trash bags, dishwasher detergent (and paper plates to cut down on dishes!), laundry detergent (it was so nice to be able to wash wet clothes from Kali River Rapids, and to not bring home a week's worth of dirty clothes!). Thanks - we can't wait to come back!

  I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this home. I'm so glad we chose this beautiful home over a hotel. The home was spotlessly clean and very spacious. Each bedroom has its own full bath and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The pool provides endless entertainment for the kids when we weren't at Universal. The hot tub was a Godsend after a long day at the park. The neighborhood is extremely well kept and very quiet. The clubhouse (a short walk from the house) offers everything you need when you are not at the parks: huge pool with water slide, game room, DVD rentals, convenience store with a sandwich shop and beer on tap! Another park has tennis, volleyball, and a putting green (which was being reconstructed while we were there, but that's ok, there were plenty of mini golf places just a few short miles from the house.). The house is literally around the corner from Disney and about 20 easy minutes to Universal. Ken was super easy to work with. We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home and will definitely stay here when we visit Orlando in the future!

  My family and I (there were 10 of us - 6 adults, 3 children and one teenager) rented this beautiful home from July 16th to July 27th. The minute we arrived at the property we fell in love with it and felt very much at home. The pictures on the website really don't do the home justice. We were all wowed by the size of the home, along with the furnishings and the cleanliness. Very comfortable beds!!! The kids as well as the adults enjoyed the pool area very much. The first thing we did was jump in the pool every morning and then after arriving back after our days at Disneyworld, we would be in the pool or relax in the hotub. This home is very close to everything! It was about a 10 minute drive to the parks. We could watch the fireworks from the pool area in the evenings. It was a good time to unwind from spending our days at Disneyworld and Universal. The property was very well maintained. The home is in a gated community with a large central pool and water slide, a store with all amenities and you could even order a cocktail and sit and relax while the kids are in the games room. Never having stayed in a rental property before it was a little daunting and overwhelming to try and find a suitable fit for us but when I came across this website and contacted the owner, he guided me through the process seamlessly. He was very helpful and I want to thank him again! I have already recommended this home to family and friends. We will certainly want to stay in this same home if we get back to Florida one day.

  We recently stayed at this home and would stay there again in a heartbeat. We had 5 adults and 4 children in our group, and there was plenty of space. The house is upscale, clean and well kept, but not so stuffy that we were afraid to let our children play freely in it. The pool was great, the rooms were fabulous, the washer/dryer came in handy. The resort pool and clubhouse looked wonderful, too, although we found our private pool and lanai so convenient that we never actually made it there. The only thing that differs from the description is that you can't really see Epcot's fireworks...we looked for them on several occasions to no avail. But we were so busy and enjoyed the lanai so much after returning from the parks at night that it didn't bother us much. We were also extremely impressed with the ease of working with the owner of this property. Ken was pleasant, quick to respond, and very helpful throughout the entire process. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

  This was our first time renting a house and I was nervous, the owner was very nice, patient and responded very quickly to inquiries. This house was as described and has plenty of space with 3 BRs (King, Queen & 2 twins) downstairs and 2 BR (King and 2 twins) upstairs. We went in May for a week and it was in the 90s while we were there, we paid for pool heat and I would recommend it as I think it would have been a little cold some evening without it. I think the house is nicer than the photos and it was very nice and clean. Plenty of dishes, it was in good repair and I would say the carpets were cleaner than most hotel carpets. There was normal wear and tear that you find that in any hotel or rental. There were additional items not listed in the description (maybe left behind by other renters and not guaranteed to still be there by the owner?) but there were 3 umbrella strollers in the garage, a couple of beach towels, a few games, 1 children's book and a couple of hairdryers. We LOVED the extra safety features on the back door slider to the pool and the additional pool safety fence. We could leave our kids in the LR and not worry they would accidently get to the pool. They provide a roll of TP, small hand soap and bath soap in each bathroom, 1 single use dishwasher detergent, 1/3 of a roll of papertowel and a few garbage bags. We brought kitchen garbage bags (must use 13 gal per community rules), soap, extra TP and bought the rest like napkins, food, dish detergent, etc. from Target which was 10-15 minutes away (which also had some great Disney merchandise). If I were to make a recommendation on any changes, I would increase the thread count on linens (which I would guess were 180 - 200) but clearly this is a very small issue. We had a blast at this house - very close to Disney. About 5 minutes to AK (very close back way if you run nav), 10 min from Epcot. We came back to the house every day for lunch and nap for our 2.5 year old (we saved a ton of money on food). Lots of restaurants, fast food and shops nearby. We tried Wild Side BBQ and it was good. My 6 year old (and husband) LOVED the community pool slide - it loops around and is very fast (must be 48" to ride). The backyard pool, large community playground (with castle and climbing dragon) were also big hits, and the LR had a new LCD TV. My kids loved having space to run around in stead of being crammed into a small hotel room. I would absolutely recommend this house and we would stay here again!

  We had an excellent 3 day stay at your home. The pictures of your home doesn't justify your home in person. We had a group of 7 adults and 2 children and had more than enough room for accommodations. The kitchen provided cookware and there was more than enough dishes for everyone. I didn't hear a single complaint about anybody's bed being uncomfortable. The pool and spa was very nice and refreshing to sit and relax in after a day of walking the parks which were very conveniently located. It was definitely a great way to start off our destination wedding vacation. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
