We stayed at the 3 bedroom from 5/12 - 5/16 Pros -Pool is great -Neighborhood is quiet -King Bed is comfortable, but the pillows could be replaced Cons -Dining Room table was filthy. The placemats were covering up food and dirt. The rest of the house seemed well cleaned. -I know it says the dishwasher detergent is the responsibility of the guest, but it makes me wonder what the dishes were cleaned with before we arrived. If the last guest used detergent, you'd think they would leave the leftover detergent, as I would. I don't think providing a small amount of detergent is too much to ask. -Some of the towels were musty smelling. Again my fear was what, if anything, were they washed in prior to my arrival as no detergent is provided. We bought detergent and ended up washing everything before we used it. -Some nice beach towels for the pool would be a nice addition. Though there were a few annoyances, we still had a great time. You get an entire house with a great pool for less cost than staying at a nice hotel.

Owner response:This review is for our 3 bed villa rather than the 6 bed which is featured in the listing. All feedback is much appreciated both good and bad to help us to maintain the high standards we aim to provide. We are sorry that whilst the rest of the house had been well cleaned the placemats in the dining room had not been washed and some spare towels were musty (put away slightly damp). New cleaners have been engaged at a higher cost and also given instructions to replace pillows regularly. I am very pleased that despite the issues the guests still managed to have a great time. The guests did email later to say they had found the beach towels during their stay. We do advise guests that consumables are not provided and to use the convenience store along the road or stop at the shopping complex at Champions Gate on the way. Whilst some guests will leave unused items others do take them when they leave.

We had family in from Norway and were so happy to have this great home to go to in the evenings after a long day in the parks! The house looks just like the pictures and it was nice to have the garage full of games on the rainy days. I would recommend this house to anyone. It is about 20 minutes from any Disney park and there is a grocery store and food close by. The owners were great about answering all of my questions prior to my rental and being flexible about our dates. Would recommend this house!

Owner response:Thanks very much. It's always great to hear that our guests had a great time. Sorry about the rain!!

My family stayed for a short Disney trip in February 2011. Wow! The place is very large. Bedrooms were all good sizes. The beds were SUPER comfortable. Kids loved the pool - nice break during the day after the parks. It is a 15-18 minute drive from driveway to the parking lots of the parks - and an easy drive at that. Even over President's Day Weekend - a busy time in Disney - we faced no traffic at all. The garage/game room was a nice plus. Having experienced the villa, there is really no reason to return to a hotel room for Orlando. People asked if the nice photos on the web site are indicative of the place - and they are. You have the convenience of home (internet, full kitchen, tv with cable, nice bathrooms) within a really short drive to the parks. Two thumbs up - way up!

Hi Deb: We finally returned from Orlando and had a very good time. We enjoyed the house even though it was very cold the first two days - but then it was great and we had lots of fun. Royce was very helpful - he is a good guy to have there. Thanks and take care, Mrs. Carol Janson and family.

Hi Deb, we had a great time. The house was great! The beds were exceptionally comfortable. Unfortunately we did not get to take advantage of the pool , as we were getting in very late from the parks at Disney . Maybe the next time! We would definitely recommend your home to our friends and family. Have a very Happy New Year! Regards, Theresa

Deb, We absolutely loved it. The house was magnificent with plenty of room for everyone. We were also able to take advantage of the pool and hottub several times. It was very easy to find and a very quite neighborhood. I will certainly keep your information for future vacations and will recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in that area. Thank you so much for letting us stay there and making our vacation so much more enjoyable. Jerel

Hi Deb, My family and I had a great time in Orlando. We wanted to have another family get together in Oct 2010 and wanted to know how far out we can reserve a condo. Thanks, Erin

Deb, This home was wonderful and perfect for the entire family. It includes things to do for all ages. Royce was very helpful in answering my questions. The lanscaping was very neat. I just wish there was a turn lane into the subdivision when coming from Lake Wilson Rd. I will definitely keep you in mind for our next visit to the Orlando area. Anthony
