We had an awesome time. The house was everything we expected. We had to call twice for an issue but someone came both times almost immediately. I would definitely recommend staying here. Most of our time was spent relaxing in the pool. Absolutely amazing place to stay.
I had a foursome of golfers stay at this home for the 2nd time so we knew what the house was like. Overall a great place with a beautiful view of the lake! Small problem with the hot tub initially but our host came right over and fixed the problem. The place could have been a little cleaner. The outside area needs a power wash and the outdoor table was not clean but overall everything was great. We may stay again!
Fantastic family house (including multiple families)
There are THREE king suits and a queen for adults/couples to spread out. The kids had four bunk or double twin rooms to share.
The house is comfortable with four different gathering sitting areas (including outside). The a/c works great and the owner and property manager were very responsive.
The neighborhood feels safe and quiet. The kitchen is stocked up and the only thing not available is baking sheets but we bought some throw aways.
The house is plentiful with bathroom and pool towels and a convenient laundry room to keep the light packers in clothes!
The pool is fantastic and our family had fun in the movie room.
It was a unanimous vote that we would rent here again.
This house was perfect for our girl trip. It have plenty space and bathroom to accommodate 10 women.This house has every appliance you can imagine. The area is so perfect and safe.I had the opportunity to meet the neighbors and they were so friendly. The house looks just like the picture. The check is was super easy. You have plenty of parking space. Plenty towels. Plenty blanket. I am a lover of a fan. Not only is it ceiling fan all threw the house there are ceiling fans outside on the patio. They also has extra fan in every room. I had a small problem with the pool. The maintenance people were there in less than 10 minutes and I called and everything was fine.Beside than small problem everything worked good in the house.I love this house wish I could have stayed longer. Most definitely will be returning THE FOR MAKING MY GIRLS TRIP THE BEST.. I really appreciate the great customer service ❤
The house sufficiently met our family needs. One bath per room for two was great The kitchen was congested but manageable. The house layout worked very well for our group. There was an extra charge for having the pool and whirlpool heated but 35 per day seemed a bit excessive. However the hot tub was not hot and it drained overnight and barely had 6” of water. Small ants were visible in the bathrooms, kitchen and entry from the day we arrived. We did call the manager and they came and treated all the rooms. Most of the ants then disappeared. We noted that all of the bathrooms had less than a full roll of toilet paper- often less than a quarter roll. There were no additional rolls in the house so we had to go to a store again and buy toilet paper less than 24 hours after arrival. The kitchen area contained a large garbage container. The only available garbage bag was the one in the garbage can. That meant another trip to the store. There is a minimal cost to supplying toilet paper and garbage bags. Owners could have supplied these useful and necessary sanitation supplies. The dishwasher did not have any pods so that meant another trip to the store. There were lots of towels but no hand towels or wash or dish cloths. We had an upstairs water leak in a bathroom and it leaked into the kitchen. We called management but they never showed up to fix. Yes, we worked around the above issues and had a great time in the house and Disney.
No the pool was not warm enough to swim in. Even though we paid extra to have the pool heated it slowly warmed up. Took four days to warm it up enough for the family to enjoy it.
House was very spacious and fit our group perfectly, had some issues with pool/spa heating at first then it started to work but not very hot maybe the system was turned down for children, other than that the drains for the sinks and showers were alittle backed up and we could see a potential previous/active leak on the ceiling. Advise the host to review this and check the property out for future family’s/groups. Overall great property dispite the few odds and ends!
The management company went above and beyond for us! The house was perfect, just a short drive to all the Disney parks, tons of great restaurants around! The only issues were with the heater for the hot tub, and I would suggest adding cookie sheets to the kitchen. Other than that it was great!
After a minor problem with the spa,we had a great time. There wasn't enough towels in the bathrooms so we had make a Walmart run to buy towels and wash cloths. The neighborhood is great and very well kept up. The family loved both the pool all day and movie theater all night.

Even better than expected!
We've been renting homes through homeaway for years and I have to say this home was by far the best we've ever rented- exactly as pictured, super clean and well maintained, kitchen perfectly equipped, wonderful relaxing pool area, **Beautiful** view of the lake w/ great fishing (my 3 year old was able to catch his first fish!), very peaceful and quite community, awesome air conditioned movie/game room (my kids went NUTS over this room!). Management is also very easy to work with and quick to get back to you with any questions/needs. We were very impressed all around and will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future!

Very beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing. The view of the lake is amazing, and wonderful location.
LET'S JUST SAY I'LL BE BOOKING HERE ON OUR NEXT STAY IN KISSIMMEE FL.....I ABSOLUTLY LOVED THIS HOUSE...THE COZY MATTRESSES ARE WONDERFUL, THE POOL STAYS CLEAN , THE BUGS STAY OUT. THE POOL AREA IS VERY PRIVATE, AND THE THEATER IS AWESOME.... THE KIDS LOVED IT MORE... THANKS FOR INVITING MY FAMILY INTO YOUR VILLLLLLLAAAA,,, WE LOOK FORWARD TO BOOKING HERE AGAIN ON OUR FAMILY VACATION NEXT YEAR... OR MAYBE SOONER...
There were 16 of us ages &0-25. Everyone had their own room and only one had to share a bathroom! When not at the Parks we hung out at the pool or the roomy outdoor patio space. Lots of chairs outside. Lots of room inside. We all had a blast . The only. Negative and it’s not really bad. The kitchen was short on cooking supplies, only one pot holder and only one large bowl, one tiny fry pan. Other than that it was great. Everyone said the would rather be in a house the. In separate hotel rooms. Hostess is super responsive!
My family and I who lives in the USA and Bahamas decided to meet in Orlando to spend Thanksgiving together and we choose the perfect place. Not only was it adequate space but it allowed us space to prepare Bahamian food for our Thanksgiving Day feast which was so important to us.
The property manager Paul was very accommodating if we requested anything extra and the owner responded promptly with any concerns.
I didn't give it 5-star rating because the home theatre is awesome but there is no local cable, and it was a bit difficult for us to watch football games, but we found a way.
We had an awesome time in the home and would rent again. That is saying a lot because my family like to nitpick as two of them own cleaning companies.
Many thanks to the owners for allowing us to make lasting memories in their home.
First the good: 1) great location to Disney and other theme parks. 2) large house with a full bath in each suite 3) wonderful pool and spa area to enjoy the view and the perfect Florida weather 4) easy check-in 5) gated community.
Unfortunately, I cannot give this property 5 stars, however. One of the potties was broken upon our arrival and was leaking water onto the floor. It took two days to repair the problem, meanwhile the maintenance guy shoved rags in the whole where the toilet once sat. One of the TVs was also cracked and broken. And the pool heat did not work for the first day we were there (spa even longer). Were it not for these issues, I’d give this property 5 stars.
Rental was great. There was an issue with the pool not being heated the first day even though it was paid for. Hoping to a get a refund for that day. Wi-Fi kept going out but most of us could use our unlimited 5G.
Stayed there for 17 days with my family from Europe, adults, 5 kids between 8 and 11, and an infant. House and pool are wonderful, we had a great time. The pictures don't do it justice. There is no more carpet. Rooms have been updated. All rooms have big TVs but we never even switched them on. We had a lot of rain and thunderstorms every night so the movie room was very important, it was the only way to get the kids out of the pool before the storm. The massage chair is broken, I would say beyond repair, but the recliners were perfect.
The house has all the dishes and pots and pans you may need.
There were also 2 4-slice toasters, 2 coffee makers, water heater and a lot of other small electric appliances..
The location is perfect, just minutes to Disney. Walmart is close but we liked the little shops and the Target in the Margaritaville area better, which is pretty much the same distance just opposite direction. There is also a lot of nightlife in this area.
We hope to be back some time.
