Family & Pet Friendly (*additional pet fee applies), Charming Orlando Home!

The Home is located in an very safe area - as a matter of fact, the area won the Orlando Neighborhood Watch of the Year designation in 2018 making our home perfect for family stays. So whether you are in town for work or pleasure, this authentic, mid-century residence is the perfect retreat to settle in and feel like it's the next best thing to home. From the natural light, Zen garden with lush plants and fountains, to the incredible location, you are going to thoroughly enjoy your stay, andwe expect you will be back again soon. You'll feel cozy in the large living room, complete with TV and Foosball table for fun.

A large kitchen with Keurig coffee maker, plenty of dishes and cookware (pots, pans, toaster, waffle maker, blender, etc) opens to a large dining area. Each bedroom has a king size bed with plenty of space and there are two bathrooms (both with large skylights), including en-suite in the master for added convenience and privacy. There is also a laundry room on site.

Entering the home, the living room welcomes you with a relaxing warmth and charm. There is plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The hallway off the dining area leads to the three spacious and cozy bedrooms all with king size beds, ceiling fans and cable TVs! (*there is a queen size, self inflating air mattress available to use as well for extra sleeping!). The two other separate bedrooms share the hallway full bathroom. In addition to the Foosball table in the living area, there is an XBOX1 in the kids room for all to enjoy....We invite you to enjoy the beautifully landscaped front and back yards. The front yard was revamped in 2018 by Mika and I. The backyard took much longer (a year!) as we xeriscaped it (again ourselves) and poured and hand-laid the stone sidewalk on the right side of the yard! You will enjoy the beautiful sunshine as well as a shady pergola.. all while relaxing to the bubbling backyard centerpiece fountains as you grill out on the propane grill...

We want to be transparent in that there are NO cameras or recording devices anywhere within the home. There is, however, one security camera under the carport facing the street.

Our home is very short walk to Lake Underhill. Lake Underhill has a nice paved, safe and well lighted walking trail with multiple exercise challenges/stations located around the lake. Our drive from home is just a few minute drive from the heart of downtown Orlando (Amway Arena, home of the Orlando Magic basketball team, Dr. Philips Performing Arts Center, Citrus Bowl, etc.), 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport, 20 minutes from ALL the theme parks, and 20 min from University of Central Florida (UCF, home of the 2018 NCAA football champions ). The home is also conveniently located near the downtown hospitals (Arnold Palmer, Orlando Regional and Advent Health/Florida Hospital)


There are a multitude of things to see and do, as well as restaurants to enjoy, regardless of your taste. Mika and I would be glad to recommend places if you like :) We particularly enjoy visiting Lake Eola in downtown Orlando. Lake Eola is the landmark Lake seen in all the publicity photos of Orlando. The LARGE and beautiful area offers a variety of neat things to see and do (coffee shops, restaurants). Home to LARGE swans, ducks, geese, etc. you never know what you will see. Also, there are Swan shaped paddle boats available for rent to cruise the lake. Every Sunday (weather permitting) from 10am to 4pm, the Lake Eola Farmers Market is in full swing with roughly 100 vendors and food choices.

For those that enjoy plays and theater, the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts center usually has something each weekend to enjoy. In addition, whew, there's lots to do and East/West Expressway (408) is just around the corner with access to I-4 or the Beachline. So, whether you're work, Disney or beach bound, you'll have easy access to all!

There is a lot of local fare and food nearby including some of our favorites – be sure to check out: The Drunken Monkey Coffee Bar + Sandwich Shop on Bumby, East End Market on Corrine Drive, (Sushi Lola, also on Corrine favorite sushi place) all the delicious multi-cultural foodie spots in the Mills 50 and Milk Districts, The Market on South Street, great for vegan/vegetarian comfort food (you will NOT believe the pulled pork is NOT pork, it's jack fruit!), the Hourglass District restaurants and bars including Foxtail Coffee (better than, ahem, Starbucks :), Claddagh Cottage and Pizza Bruno.
