Wow! I can't say enough wonderful things about Mary and her lovely 2-bedroom condo. It's clean and decorated so beautifully and well-equipped with the essentials like an iron and ironing board, hangars in each closet, plenty of towels, and lots of dishes, mixing bowls, small appliances, and pots and pans in the kitchen.
There's a big dining room table, a small outdoor seating area with a fully screened-in porch and lovely view of the pond and fountain, and plenty of furniture for your family to spread out and have ample storage in every room. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained and the main pool area is really nice. Not only was the pool area beautiful, but there were plenty of lounges for everyone to spread out on. The other residents and renters we ran into were all very sweet and helpful.
Our biggest surprise was arriving to find the condo even bigger than it looked in the photos. Our experience with other properties had been the opposite.
One of the nicest things was how supportive Mary was of our entire trip. Not only did she keep up well with the basic emails back and forth about contracts and notes for staying at her property, but she must have sent 20 other emails with details about so many helpful things like websites where we found discounts to the parks we were visiting, driving directions, comments from former guests on things to do while we were there, etc. I'm sure we saved quite a bit of money because she graciously took the time to pass along such great tips.
Whether you're a family of two like we were, or a family of five or six, you will find everything you need. The condo is surprisingly close to Disney and just a little more of a drive to SeaWorld and Universal. We rented a car and got around just fine with freedom to do what we wanted to when we wanted to.
If you want to stay in the Orlando area, you should give this rental very serious consideration. We will definitely return again!
