All in all we had a lovely time in Winter Park and were very comfortable in house. There are a few things, however, that I found misleading, a few things that I think should be clarified in rental posting.
The posting stresses the upscale brands of the kitchen appliances. So I was surprised to find the house much less luxurious than I expected. Yes, the appliances are expensive brands but clearly they were not new. And to mention that the refrigerator is a Fisher and Paykel when it's dented and is missing a door handle left me bewildered! The floor is marble but with enough scratches, broken tiles and a big gouge that again I wonder why mention it.
There were also things that I read into the posting that I shouldn't have. There's a picture of the yard that captures the fence and one renter mentioned how much her dogs enjoyed the yard. The posting never said that the yard is not fully fenced but it would be an important detail to know when renting to a family with either children or dogs. Particularly, because the street is busy during rush hour.
And there are things that need improvement to keep renters safe and comfortable.
The wood on the deck is old and VERY splintered. I went out in socks one day only to regret my haste. Again, important to know if you have children who are likely to play outside. It's really dangerous.
The house was basically equipped but there appears to be little thought in some areas. It's hard not to compare with other rentals that we've used. The kitchen is has the basics but it's hard to live for a month with bowls of mismatched sizes and shapes especially when many don't appear to be microwave friendly. And 2 teaspoons is not adequate. The last place we rented offered a set of 12 plain white matched Corelle dishes - inexpensive, unbreakable, and microwavable. It made living much more comfortable.
The second bedroom has no dresser and living out of a suitcase for a month is tiring. The filmy curtain in the master bathroom offers no privacy. I had to hang towels over the window.
The walk to Park is not "a short walk" for senior or for anyone wanting a quick bite. I clocked it walking at about 3 miles walking several ways.
Having said all this, we were, as stated, very comfortable in the house. The neighborhood is spectacular. There are stores, restaurants, museums and more a short RIDE away. The dog park is 5 minutes drive and is wonderful! None of what I mention made me regret renting the house.
