โ€œGreat vacation homeโ€

This house was perfect for our family of 5. The check in was easy and the house was very clean. It is a gated community which felt very safe. 15โ€“20 minutes drive to any of the Disney parks plus lots of dining options nearby. With 3 young kids, the pool size and depth (half of it was 3ft) was perfect. Also helps that you have access to a basketball right from the pool area. Kids also loved the air hockey and being two houses away from the playground.

โ€œBirthday celebration!โ€

Wonderful house and a beautiful resort. Perfect for a birthday celebration on St Patrick's Day weekend. Easy, short drive to Disney Springs. The private pool was clean and crystal blue and most importantly warm! Jonathan and Heather were easy to contact and gave quick response when necessary. Thanks for a wonderful week.

โ€œGreat home and locationโ€

First time snowbirds from Wisconsin and we couldn't have had a better experience. The hosts responded to any questions immediately. The home was so tidy, clean and well furnished. The pool was clean and had nice patio furniture. Plenty of bedding, a well stocked kitchen, nice washer/dryer with a starter set of paper products and soaps. Close to Disney, golfing, a pub, and restaurants. We hope to be back!
