Definitely the most unique Vrbo we have ever stayed in! Really cool and the Porter was super helpful. They checked on us several times and were always there if we had questions. Very unique, living quarters on the train and the beds were super comfortable even the bunks. Well equipped with coffee and snacks. Awesome living area for everyone to hang out in.

Very cool location and we thoroughly enjoyed it. As a plus, the location is right across the street from cruise terminal 26 so it was a quick walk to get on the Disney Magic.

We had a fabulous time! This was an adventure for our whole family. The living area is big enough for many people to gather and play games, there are about 4 bathrooms with toilets, and one with a shower with decent hot water (I was pleasantly surprised). The A/C worked GREAT, always a gamble for 80 plus year old properties in Texas, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable all reported, even on the upper bunks. We felt very safe at night, and the strand was an easy one block away (try the old fashioned photo place, it was a hoot!).The hosts could not have been more accommodating and gracious. We have stayed in several unique/adventurous rentals and none have been as charming as this in both the property and the hosts. And your fees help support the restoration of these historic trains so what could be better?

We absolutely LOVED this experience! The staff was very helpful and over the top with caring for our every need, from morning muffins to sweet chocolate treats! Absolutely wonderful service and even helped get 11 of us with luggage, get out the door to get on the ship for our cruise. We got to tour the train museum as part of our stay and the lore behind the characters in the train station. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience.

Loved the Bonnie Brook. Everything was great. The porter - Chris took excellent care of us. Loved being able to wander around the grounds when the museum was closed. Memorable experience. I would highly recommend
