Monica is an excellent host. She was quick to respond for any questions or concerns. The home is beautiful and clean. We’ve been to others that haven’t been as clean. Very comfortable layout and plenty of space. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Location was excellent for our day trips to Disney, Lakeland Spring training and much more. We sure enjoyed our 10-day stay!

We had a wonderful stay! The host was very prompt and easy to communicate with. The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for our group. The kids absolutely loved the pool! The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and plenty of dishes, which made meal prep easy. The location was ideal — close to Disney and just a short drive to the beaches. Highly recommend!

Great stay

Everything was as stated. Monica stayed in touch to be sure things were going well after our arrival and the night before we left. Of the homes we have stayed at this was our favorite. We paid for heated pool and the last night we were there it was in the 50s but my granddaughters played in the pool all evening.

Ideal property for exploring the parks

Great property, everything we needed for a week at the parks We’ve stayed in the same location before and it’s ideal, close enough for the daily travel but far enough away to be peaceful as well The property had everything we needed and on the couple of occasions we had minor issues they were resolved that day once we got in touch with Monica

Very pleased with "The Shire" Home

"The Shire" was a wonderful home away from home for our 10 day Florida family vacation during March 2024. The home was spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities that we needed. The house is located in a beautiful, quiet gated community. Communication with our host Monica was excellent and she was very responsive. We would definitely stay again.

Awesome property. My family had a great time and enjoyed the house. Pool and hot tub was wonderful and very relaxing. Communication with Monica was easy as we forgot a few things at the house and she was wonderful in helping us to get our items back. I hope we can stay here when we visit Florida again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Wachholder

Host profile image
Monica is an actor, voice teacher and professional organizer who lives in Chicago. She and her family (parents, brother and husband) saved their pennies to buy this beautiful vacation home to escape the subzero Chicago winters. While new to HomeAway, Monica is a former Disney cast member - so hospitality is in her blood. She has also been a landlord for almost 10 years. She loves Harry Potter, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Batman, swimming, roller coasters and good ole fashioned game nights! She hopes you will enjoy staying at the Shire as much as she does.

Why they chose this property

We loved how spacious, relaxing and convenient this property was. The pool is very private and has a gorgeous view of a wooded conservation area. Complex tennis and volleyball courts are just down the block and the gated community provides a quiet escape with close proximity to the local theme parks - about 20 minutes to Disney.
