The villa has a nice, warm pool and fit a larger family. The additional green space in the back provides privacy and neighbors didn’t seem to be bothered by music and children playing.
However, we encountered problems with several items - grill, WiFi, and bugs. Although each was handled quickly (new grill, additional router information, exterminator), our vacation was inconvenienced and the bugs never went away. Unfortunately, the bugs were found in smaller bathroom and on the kitchen counters. The property manager recaulked the bathroom floor and left cleaning supplies, but several newly purchased food items had to be tossed and remaining items stored in plastic bins for the second half of our stay. Toothbrushes and other toiletries had to be kept off the bathroom counter.
The owner requires a second communication platform for information and payment. The additional communication platform resulted in a significant charge not disclosed on vrbo for pool heating. Raised issues always resulted in “pandemic” excuse - you can tell a deep cleaning is overdue. The house manual was outdated and newer information was emailed after the first few days. The house *no longer* includes recycling (even though the printed manual and dry erase board in the home reference it). The game room is a nice idea, but retains heat and has no airflow without keeping the door to the house open causing the house to warm. The patio furniture is rusted and falling apart.
A big concern is the front door as it can’t be locked from the inside. This is unsafe and a huge safety concern for young children that can reach and easily open the door unattended. We had to block the door each night to sleep with ease.
All marketing references an easy 15 minute drive to Disney. This is absolutely false. The traffic and construction doesn’t allow for it - even late at night or early in the morning, the drive took a minimum of 30 minutes.
Lastly, the communication style of owner is not preferred and increased dissatisfaction with home.
