We just returned from an amazing five-week stay in Winter Park, FL. Margie was great to work with and super attentive. The house itself was in an amazing location in a beautiful neighborhood. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything you'd need to settle in and feel at home. The backyard is beautifully landscaped with all kinds of unique, tropical, central-Florida plants. The neighborhood is quiet and safe.
You're only about a mile from Park Avenue in Winter Park, which has a wide variety of restaurants and shops; don't miss Briarpatch! You're also only about a mile from other fantastic Winter Park restaurants and dessert spots; we'd highly recommend Gideon's Bakehouse and Kelly's ice cream. You're also close to Baldwin Park, which has many restaurants and shops. We can't say enough about the location -- it was truly incredible.
By staying in Winter Park, you're also only about 20-30 minutes from Universal Studios and the Disney World parks. It's about an hour drive to multiple the east coast of Florida, where you'll find numerous beaches, such as Canaveral National Seashore and Cocoa Beach. The Orlando Museum of Art is nearby, and don't miss the Morse Museum.
If you enjoy walking or running, you cannot go wrong with this location. You can literally leave the house, head in any direction, and walk for miles. Along the way, you'll see some amazing homes in the neighborhood, beautiful lakes, Park Avenue, and the campus of Rollins College. The streets are paved with bricks, which makes for a unique, charming vibe.
We can't say enough great things about our stay. After all the drama of COVID and sticking close to home for so long, this was an amazing location to recharge, relax, and enjoy all that central Florida has to offer.
