Thank you Gregory for choosing our home and taking such awesome care of it. You are always welcome and hope to see you again in the near future.
We really loved our stay. Condo had everything we needed and it was even decorated for Christmas which was great surprise. Mia is an amazing host and was very responsive to anything we asked or needed. Very close drive to parks and restaurants etc. Resort grounds are well kept and pool etc. we’re great! Highly recommend!

Hello Paul,
Thank you much for choosing my home for your family vacation. I wish all our guests were as good as you. Looking forward to your return in the near future!
Best regards,
Mia😊
The property is located in a beautiful resort with amenities you’d expect. Super close to Margueritaville, WDW (all properties) and Universal. We were able to bring our dogs with us which is important to us.
The host Mia was great and the bills was clean and they had everything in the kitchen we needed !
It’s across the street from the nature park and just a quick walk down the road to the clubhouse and amazing and relaxing pool and tiki bar 😎
We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again when are in the area.

Hello Joan, it was great to have the opportunity to host you. i really appreciate how much you cared for our home. You are always welcome back! 😊
This was a beautiful property, in a great neighborhood. It was conveniently located near restaurants, stores, and a cool Waterpark!! The home looks exactly like the pictures and we loved walking our dogs each day on trail. However, the best thing about this property was the amazing host, Mia!! She was very responsive, extremely kind and considerate. Our family needed to check in early and decided at the last minute to stay an extra day, she was very accommodating with all our request. Thank you so much the amazing hospitality. We will definitely stay here again!❤️

Disgusting and uncomfortable!
There were dead worms, centipedes and bugs all over the floors both upstairs and down. All three toilets were black and disgusting, I had to clean the toilets and bathrooms and wash all of the sheets and pillow cases. The carpet is gross and the house smelled as if it was it hasn’t been stayed in for over a year. The owners were quick to getting back in touch with me after my email but I will be sure to stay clear of this property when booking in the near future.

There is an old saying that goes something like “no good deed goes unpunished”.
The guest expressed she would like to have the opportunity to check in earlier than the regular 4 pm check in time since she had a long drive to which we accepted immediately. We knew that because of this, the routine pre check-in inspection could not be done, but what could have happened in two weeks the house was not occupied right?
The guest expressed all the toilets were dirty and disgusting. What she does not know is that in the State of Florida is very common to have high mineral content in the water, especially minerals like iron and manganese. Why is this important? Because it turns out they may react with the cleaning agents used to sanitize the toilets and over a relatively short time produce a dark discoloration that sometimes even forms a residue and a ring around the water mark. A better explanation can be found by clicking here. The toilets looked dirty but they were not. At least not dirty with dirt or something worse, just with a mineral deposit.
The other thing the guest mentioned is that there were dead centipedes and other bugs everywhere. Centipedes are very common in a humid climate like Florida and they come in and hide under carpets or crevices when people leave the doors open. Same for other insects. Naturally after a few days they come out looking for water and food and they die. We do our periodic pest control and after every stay the cleaning company services and cleans the condo. Of course, a quick inspection would have allowed the cleaners to have picked them up. The term “everywhere” is used very loosely when someone is upset, I understand that. However to say the house was covered in dead creepy crawlers is unfair and a bit exaggerated. The expression “looks like nobody has stayed there over a year” is easily said when one is upset, again the reality is that it is unfair and a bit exaggerated.
Upon learning of the problem, I immediately contacted the guest, apologized and offered my help should we could do anything to make the guest happy. I indicated there is a closet with cleaning supplies including a vacuum cleaner they could use and offered my help and assistance should they require anything else to satisfy them. They replied “Great, thank you”. The next thing I heard from them was this review.
People do not realize how deeply damaging a review like this is. We are not millionaires and it is with great effort and hard work we have a little investment like this condo to offer to people and enjoy ourselves every now and then, and just one single review like this one may totally destroy that. I wish people would think twice before unleashing something like this. I also wish all the others that have left happy and satisfied would have posted an equally passionate, positive review.
Look no further! You've found home away from home!
If you're a middle class family who enjoys a place that is "lived in," yet clean, affordable, a great location, & with amazing hosts, look no further! The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 in cleanliness is because I can see where others who may have a perfectionist standard of living would find this place not as fresh or new as perhaps Disney. The kitchen was big enough for my daughter-in-law & wife to make meals each day AND Easter dinner. It was a good thing there was a breakfast bar to put the meals on to serve, but the dinner table was big enough for our family of 6.5 which made us very happy. If you have a mobile, infant, toddler, or small child, you'll want to bring a baby gate for the stairs & high chair or booster. Short of that, our family of six adults and one toddler found this to be a fabulous get away. We were all comfortable in the large living room. The dog & baby enjoyed the privacy of the back yard & the baby enjoyed playground. The water pressure in the showers was excellent & even little shampoos were provided! Our family was grateful to have a place close to the grocery, Walmart, Epcot, and to have gracious hosts who were genuinely concerned that we enjoyed our stay & had everything we needed. We intend to come back next year to take the young one to Animal Kingdom. As long as this condo isn't booked, this is where our family will stay; our home away from home!
We loved this place. Very clean and the added tv amenities were a plus. The unit was very close to the pool (which has a bar). I love emerald island because of how close it is to Walmart and Starbucks.
Cozy and clean...perfect for a comfortable last minute getaway
Needed a last minute, pet friendly place to stay for a week and could not have been more pleased with this location. Beautiful resort setting and a lovely house, inside and out. Larger than expected as well! Owners were extremely prompt and helpful with all questions, even late at night. Had some trouble with security getting in and out of the property the first night but otherwise a pleasant stay. Thanks so much!

We had an air conditioning issue during the stay. The property owners were prompt in handling the issue. The way they handled the situation turned it into more positive experience.
