My family had originally intended on staying near Orlando to enjoy Universal and all of the tourist attractions. Shortly before our schedule stay, we got word that the house was going to be unavailable. In a mad dash to find lodging, we came across this house.
The house is beautiful. It is a bit dated, as the furnishings and such are a bit dark. But overall, the house fully accommodated my family. The views were incredible, as the canal runs right behind he house. And the pool is well cared for. The only complaint I have is that there are a massive amount of light switches. Trying to figure out which switch turned on which light was something my family and I laughed about the entire trip. By the end of the stay, though, we had it figured out.
Another thing is dish storage. I would recommended stopping at a store and picking up some containers, if you plan on using the fridge. The nice thing about staying in a house instead of a hotel is the amount of money you save in dining out. We cooked everyday, but saving or storing food items was very limited.
Also, the master bedroom gets very warm, even with the air running. We like it pretty chilly when we sleep. The other rooms didn’t seem to be a problem. I think the layout plays a big part. It’s very open when you come into the house, but the rooms are sectioned off, preventing air flow.
The master bathroom also has some issues with the shower getting hot. After messing with the controls, I found that turning it right gets hot water and left is cold. Opposite of normal placement.
Overall, we had a great stay. I would highly recommend getting out and enjoying the area. We went to Lobster Lady on a Tuesday for crab legs and it was delicious. We also played miniature golf. We had a great time!!
