Hello Claretta,

Everything on the property was as described in the listing. The house is close to so many restaurants and parks that it is really a perfect location. There is a Walmart close by but BEWARE, that place is INSANE! Go early when they first open or late before they close. The Publix nearby is a better option if you only need a few groceries. We would rent this house again without hesitation.

Perfect location for the parks and a short journey from Orlando airport. Pool size and deck are excellent and accommodated our group of 13 well. John is a top host and comms were really useful, accessing the villa and estate were simple and all instructions very clear.
The home was very comfortable (fit 3 families well) and the host was very responsive.

Fantastic place to stay. House is extremely well appointed. Pool is large, heated and our whole family enjoyed it - especially our grandchildren. Lots of extra towels, kitchen utensils and space for all to enjoy. Close to Disney, stores and tons of local food options. We will be back. Highly recommended!

This house was amazing! It was so spacious for a large group. There was plenty of bathrooms for everyone and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was awesome and we loved watching the large screen while in the pool and hot tub. The property managers were very helpful and the owner was absolutely fabulous. He was extremely reponsive and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The tiniest thing was rectified immediately! There was plenty of parking for a large group. The lake was very nice and we did not need to buy a licence to fish. You just need to catch and release. We had a wonderful stay and would definently come back!

Beautiful home that was perfect for our family of 12. Beds were comfy, plenty of dishes, pots and pans to cook at the house. We brought spices, baggies, foil, and the little things we did not want to buy more of to bring home and it worked out great. Loved the pool and spa and the close proximity to Universal and Disney. Would definitely recommend for a large family trip.

So convenient to Disney. Pool & hot tub great & we watched a movie while in the pool! 4 spacious bedrooms on the first floor which was great for our older family members plus 3 bedrooms upstairs. Although we didn't need an alarm on the door to the pool it is a great safety feature if you have littles. We would definitely stay again.

What makes this property unique
You are in Florida so you just want to be outside even when it rains. The villa is within a mile of a winery, a golf club and an Aqua Park and of course a couple of miles from Disney. At the front of the villa in the covered porch there are 4 rocking chairs which is ideal to relax on while you wait for the rest of your family or friends to get ready to go out. Pool side there is the covered lanai with chairs for everyone to watch TV or stair at the pool in all weathers. There are 10 Smart TVs 75 inch in the main living room 65 inch in each of the 5 King bedrooms, living room, Games-room and lanai. 48 inch in the room with 2 full beds 43 inch in the Princess room. The BBQ is at the side of the villa for the al fresco cooking. The lake for a little fishing. (Bass) Even I caught one. The games room to get away from everyone / chill on a couch watching the television, playing pool or games or having a family air hockey tournament or exercise on the bicycle that goes nowhere. There is just something for everyone. It is hard to remember but the reason you are on holiday is to be at Disney or Universal. With Disney only a couple of miles away many guests come back to the villa for lunch and a swim then go back to the parks for the evenings entertainment. It is like having Disney on your doorstep.
