There weren't many reviews about this house, so I was a little bit hesitant to book it, but I am so glad we did. We just returned from our Florida / Disney vacation and the house was great with very little to complain about. We had myself, my husband, two 16 year old, a 10 year old and my dad and his wife on the trip. We didn't even use of the bedrooms, so there was room for more.
First, the pros:
If you're going to visit the Disney parks, this resort is in a great location. We could get to any of the Disney parks within 10 minutes with very little traffic. There are several eating places and a great grocery store at the SuperTarget just a few miles from the resort.

The house is just as pictured on the website. There is one queen bedroom with a full bathroom downstairs just off the den and the rest of the bedrooms/bathrooms are upstairs. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were decorated nicely. We used the game room everyday and the added air conditioner for that area made a big difference. The pool is an average size and great to relax in at the end of the day. We were there in the middle of summer so we didn't ask for the pool to be heated, but I would suggest it, especially if you're going to use the hottub. The water was too cool to use the hottub during our stay without it. We used the laundry room, which has everything you need. They even had a couple of laundry baskets and lots of hangers. There's also an iron and ironing board.
The kitchen was great. We used the microwave and oven / stove several times with no problems. There were plenty of pots/pans, utensils, etc to cook anything you needed. We even used the blender to make milkshakes one night.
The resort clubhouse was great and secure. Our kids really liked the pool, although the deepest part was only 4 1/2 feet. The clubhouse had games, but you had to pay for them. They played movies 3 times a day in a small theatre.

The cons:
The fooseball (SP?) table had some broken pieces and my husband cut his finger on it a couple of times. If you closed the door behind you while in the laundry room, you can not open the door to get back in. Also, just a minor thing, but there was a small tear in the screen outside the pool. There is road construction going on right outside the resort, but that isn't something anyone can control and didn't really effect our stay.

Overall, I would stay here again and again. We had a fabulous time!

This place is a very nice property… more than enough room for our two family party of 9, and a hit with the whole group. Nice kitchen, comfortable but a tad small TV viewing area. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and most have their own very clean bath — a plus when trying to get so many up, showered and ready to go each morning. Pool and deck area are also very nice. Spa too, though we didn't use them much… just too busy.

The grounds of the complex are well kept and secure. Staff was respectful. We never checked out the clubhouse or community pool area, but I'd expect them to be as nice as the rest of the property. The homes are close together, so if someone is up late, using their own backyard pool, you'll hear them.

Such a convenient central location too, we were right in the middle of everything we wanted to see. Disney, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios. We'd absolutely come back.

As soon as we walked in the door, we felt at home! The house is very light with comfortable and spacious living areas and very nicely decorated. It has 5 large, well-appointed bedrooms with 5 bathrooms. It also has a private swimming pool and spa with plenty of space for the grill and outdoor dining.

One of the favorite spots for the teenagers was the game room that among other things had a pool table which saw a lot of action during our stay. The home also has high-speed internet which was very important to us since the adults had to check in at work periodically. It also helped us do research to plan our activities in the area!

The location of the home couldn’t be better…very quick access to Disney and the highways. No matter what you want to do or where you want to go, it is easy from this location. The owner is delightful and went the extra mile to recommend activities that would please the whole family. I would highly recommend this rental property to anyone.
