Great value 5BR/3BA townhome with hot tub/ lake View, Close to Disney, Seaworld

A few days before arriving, we were informed that the unit we rent wasn't available any more amd that we would get anotjer one instead. This was our first disapointment. After arriving at property, tv in one room wasn't working, poor internet, we had to buy a T-mobile plan, dryer wasn't working so I called the number that was given to me without any luck. I've sent an email which they replied they were sending someone to look into these, but till yesterday at the time of checkout nothing. I wouldn't recommend any one rent these homes because it is a waist of money.

We had a wonderful week in Orlando. Unit is clean, convenient and quiet. Will differently stay here again. Host was timely and clear with communication as well.

The only good thing about this property was the owner let us checked in early. She gave us some rules about parking. We could only park at the driveway or between sidewalk and road. We rented a minivan for our group, first night I parked on the driveway, all the way to the house. The next morning we woke up, the car was gone. My first thought was stolen. No notice or anything given. The next door neighbor’s car was also gone but they got a text message that told them the car was towed. They also rented the house. Tow truck company claimed our cars parked passed the sidewalk a few inches!!!!! However I saw several cars parked the same way as us for days and didn’t get towed. My conclusion is the HOA didn’t like vrbo. I asked owner to compensate as it wasn’t communicated clearly that I couldn’t park pass the sidewalk even a few inches but owner refused. Another thing is we stayed for 10 days only got 2 dishwasher tablets and no detergent for washer, 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, 1 small bar soap for each bathroom. There were also a lot of ants on the dining table and living room. And as a bonus the house was haunted. Every night around 3-5 am there were sound of people talking, doors opened and closed by themselves. Definitely won’t be back. Owner had several properties, make sure you check before book. Terrible, terrible experience!!!!!

Great house close to Disney, Universal, and Seaworld. House was very clean. Would definitely recommend.

great place with plenty of room for 5 grown men, description was just as its listed, we will be there for 3 more weeks as more work came up, I scheduled cleaning every 2 weeks, and they do an amazing job. it was perfect for our needs and the AC worked great which is a Big plus in the Florida Heat, wish we could have seen the pool more, but working 14hrs a day, there is not much time for relaxing. we will be booking again soon as more work comes up. Thanks Charlie

Everything was nice, clean, and the property owner was very nice and easy to contact. I certainly appreciated this when having to ask questions and they replied quickly. This property is also very close drive to Disney. I would certainly recommend this!

When I arrived with groceries I discovered the refrigerator wasn’t working & the jacuzzi. Men underwear was left behind and the plumbing in the upstairs bathroom sink wasn’t draining. I notified the owner about the issues. No resolution was made during my stay. Overall I had a place to stay and made the best of it. What’s advertised is not matching, it needs major cleaning and update appliances and plumbing.

Unit was unclean when we arrived. Used wash clothes still in the showers. Hot tub is listed in the rental but was unusable, desperately needs to be serviced or replaced. When owner was messaged regarding the hot tub the response was the community hot tub is available for use. Community hot tub and pool close at 6. Which does not make for ideal use in a vacation rental if you’re gone all day visiting amusement parks and wish to relax in the hot tub at night. Had there been an attempt to remedy the issue we would have been happier.

The place was clean and beds were comfortable. The owner was great at communicating with us. There were a few things that we did to improve our stay. The coffee maker was not brewing properly (since the carafe didn’t match the coffee maker) so we purchased one to take back home with us. The shower curtain rods upstairs were also not installed correctly. They were falling easily so we purchased tension rods to keep them from falling. (My first shower resulted in the whole curtain coming down mid shower.) There were also 9 light bulbs that were burnt out or missing from light fixtures. It was easily fixable, but would have been nice not to have to deal with it.

Owner communicated instructions very well. Very relaxing vacation with family. Near all the attractions.

The original property I booked was not available and the owner subbed this one with my permission. Honestly the pictures for the other place looked nicer, but the layout and location were the same. From a critic’s perspective, I see that the furniture is mismatched and outdated, so it’s not aesthetically appealing, and rather plain instead. Hotel furnishings are nicer. I’ve been in condo rental market and I realize some people don’t treat other people’s things with respect, so owners are hesitant to put too much money into decor. Definitely bring washcloths and hand towels as only basic towels are provided. Found out the morning we left there were additional towels in a linen closet downstairs. 🙄 Washer/dryer worked great. Didn’t cook or use kitchen except to make coffee in the morning. But it was clean even though it needs a few minor repairs (doorknobs pushed into the walls; a few light bulbs out or else the switches are not wired properly). And the bedrooms were spacious; the one bed we used was comfortable although the foundation squeaked quite a bit when we rolled over. The unit next door has a motion-sensitive million-watt porch light that was so bright it woke me out of sleep every time a car passed by. I used a lap blanket and hair clips to cover the blinds. ***One thing NOT noted by the owner until the week of travel is that you can’t set the AC below 70. However, when we got there, a notice was posted that the lowest setting is 72, otherwise the AC freezes up and you will be billed for a service call. If I had been traveling in the summer, that would have been a HUGE issue for me. As this trip was in November and the temps were milder and the fact that we were gone all day…. Turned out not to matter so much at night, especially with a ceiling fan in the bedroom. Mornings were still stuffy in my opinion, and I don’t feel that the downstairs cooled well at all. I couldn’t get anywhere near the tiny bit of chain hanging out to turn on the living room ceiling fan, which would have been nice. STAR OF THE SHOW: the (semi) private hot tub. After hiking around parks and shops all day, relaxing with a cocktail in the hot tub was the perfect way to end the evening. The unit backs up to a wooded area, but there is an adjacent unit with no privacy fencing between the two. As it happened, no one next door was out at the same time we were, but it could have been awkward. All in all, this place served its purpose well.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. There were a few cosmetic issues that I hope will be addressed as soon as possible(all have been addressed with the owner). The bed we slept in was very comfortable. I liked the fact that it was in a gated community. Be careful to keep the cover on the hot tub, the high jet setting will shoot water out of the tub and empty it when it cycles thru and the temperature is not consistent. All in all I enjoyed my stay and will consider it again if we get back to Orlando in the future.
