Charming Anaheim Home 1/2 Mile Walk to Disney

Nice house, everything was as advertised, clean, everything worked, etc. Really nearly 5 stars.

My only disappointment was that I had envisioned being able to walk back and forth to D-land, maybe even taking a break in the late afternoon and then walking back for an evening session. This is really not doable. Even though it may be technically 1/2 mile from D-land, you can only approach the park in a very non-direct manner, making the walk about a mile and a half. This adds up to a lot of walking on top of walking around the park all day! The good news is that Uber and taxis are abundant and reasonably priced, and that is what we ended up doing.

The only complaint I could make (and this is an indication of how good it really was when I have to reach this far) is that it was advertised as having basic spices (and there was a nice selection of about 20 different spices) but there was no salt, so we had to make an extra trip to the store.

Quiet and comfortable home to relax in after a busy day with family at Disneyworld. The deck on the back was where we sat the most to enjoy the mornings.

The beds were very comfortable and really appreciated when most of our day was spent walking around Disneyland and on the beach

Thank you

We stay at a lot of VRBOs and I have to say that this was probably one of my least favorite. First of all we’ve never stayed in one that had cameras. I feel like it invaded our privacy and felt very awkward. Second, the floors are extremely creaky to the point that you can’t take one step without a loud creaky sound. It was very hard to move about the house after we put our kids down because of all the noise the floors made. Third, during our stay there was a random guy that showed up on the deck in the backyard area to take away some of the chairs. They didn’t give us any heads up that anyone was coming over to take anything and it didn’t feel safe considering we have young children. Fourth; we thought it was very obnoxious how they have notes all around the house about fines if you do this or that. It was hard to get comfortable in this house because of all of notes in your face. $200 fine for this, $1200 dollar fine for that, it was just ridiculous. And lastly when we were packing up to check out there was a car with a woman in it right across the street waiting for us to leave. She just sat there and watched us pack up the car it was really disturbing. I understand that they may have other people checking in that day but geez at least give us a little space. Overall the accommodations were just mediocre and we would never stay here again. The only upside of this place is that it’s about a 15 minute walk to downtown Disney.

We had a fantastic stay at this Anaheim home. We checked-in a few days before Christmas. Everything was clean, in-order, and as described in the listing. They even had a Christmas tree set up for us! We spent most of our days at Disneyland, which was great. We didn't walk to the park, we just used Uber/Lyft to get there and back, which was easy and fast. Each way cost around $6.00, so $12.00 a day total--cheaper than parking at the Disneyland parking structure, and much more convenient to get curbside drop-off and pickup with Uber. I guess you could walk to the park from the house, but I figured our family would do enough walking in the Disney parks during the day, so we opted for the Uber option.

We took a break from the Disney parks for a day and our kids loved lounging around, playing ping-pong and air hockey, and our two youngest kids loved the various kids toys and puzzles provided in the game room (garage).

As other reviews mentioned, the floors are very creaky, but it didn't really bother us. We didn't have any needs during the stay, but LaDonna was always quick to respond to my e-mails, so I figure that would also be the case during the stay. We were provided with her cell phone number, and the number of one other contact. That made us feel assured that we were taken care of, if needed.

This is our first time using VRBO, so I am not sure how to judge this against other properties, but I can't imagine it getting much better. My wife and I highly recommend this home.

The bunk bed in the girl's room needs to be replaced as it kept making noises whenever there was a movement. Other than that, this place is fantastic.
