We booked for a family vacation leading up to one of our kids moving into Flamingo Crossing, and it couldn’t have been a better choice! The location was ideal—less than 15 minutes from Flamingo Crossing, close to shopping and dining, and just 10–20 minutes from Disney Parks (depending on the park). For Universal, it was about 40 minutes with morning traffic, so plan accordingly. The convenience and proximity made it a perfect fit for our family.Our group of eight adults, young, middle age and senior, stayed comfortably throughout the trip. The unit looked exactly like it did in the walkthrough video (which I found super helpful). Our hosts, were fantastic—very attentive and excellent with communication. A key highlight for us was the layout of the unit, especially the two bedrooms on the first floor. This was ideal for my parents, who have some mobility challenges.Although it was too cool during our stay to use the heated pool, we loved that there wasn’t an extra charge for pool heat—a rare and appreciated perk in this area. Instead, we made great use of the hot tub at the clubhouse across the street, which was perfect for relaxing after cooler days and long visits to the parks.Speaking of the clubhouse, the Paradise Palms amenities were a hit! The game room was a favorite for my son and husband, and the small movie theater, convenience store, and on-site bar exceeded our expectations.Overall, this rental was everything we needed and more for our family trip.
