Location, location, location.....The property is extremely close and convenient to Disney parks and attractions and very easy to find. Walking distance to chain-restaurant and fast food, grocery, pharmacy and cheap t-shirt/ beach/ souvenir places. Walmart within 5 min drive. Gated community ensures security and unit faces very quiet and peaceful lake with a huge screened-in balcony to enjoy it from. Very, very pleasant after long days of assault to the senses.
Unit is well stocked with linens and towels and our bed was quite comfortable; a little on the hard side and pillows quite flat. Kitchen adequately stocked with glasses and dishes and pots and pans for families however, toaster and coffee maker are the only small appliances available. Bring your blender for morning smoothies and evening margaritas. We bought a single-use blender for $10 at Walmart. Bring your own spices/oils/ etc. if you plan to cook, as is normal for vacation rentals. Washer and dryer proved efficient & soap provided for two loads (bring your own and use the one provided to do the final wash of towels and linens). Bathrooms each have hair dryer and one new roll of toilet paper and kitchen has one paper towel roll to start. We bring our own dish soap instead of dishwasher.
We didn’t make use of the pool and exercise room but they looked very clean and never heavily used.
Other than some burnt out light bulbs (check that light is even plugged in first), and some difficulty with fridge making ice (we used the provided ice cube trays), everything was operational and as advertised. We did have one WiFi issue which we reported to the owner but, managed to resolve it easily ourselves (we work in high tech and recognized a reboot of the router was all it needed).
As a quiet, conscious couple in our 50s, staying in the unit during low season, we were never bothered by neighbour noises or by the new construction adjacent to the community. But...The walls are thin and the glass doors and windows are single pane and we can imagine there would be some impact to peace and solitude during busier times when all the units are occupied. It helps when everyone is conscious of the thin walls, especially the early morning families and late night tv watchers.
The owner is very quick to respond to all communications (phone and email), and has been very helpful and accommodating to any and all requests or concerns. We would definitely reserve this unit again and would not hesitate to recommend
