This was the first time we have rented a house for a vacation and honestly I was skeptical. This was so incredible! From the moment I started emailing back and forth with Pat she answered all of my questions ( and trust me there were a lot). She was there every step of the process. The house was beautiful and do clean and welcoming. My family of 8 adults anf 1 baby had an amazing time. Will definitely be back.

All of the amenities were well used and enjoyed by our family, the sunsets here are stunning! We appreciated the extra touch the host took by adding a Christmas tree in the living room. We would definitely rent this house again!

Fabulous house, excellent location
A spacious, well equipped and comfortable house with a lovely pool and outdoor area. Could have spent a lot of time happily just using the pool and games room but as a bonus it is also very convenient for the theme parks, especially Disney World. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the evening watching the lovely sunsets. Good supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The Rock and Brew became a favourite.

Best trip ever
We had an amazing time. This was our first time visiting Disney World where we didn't stay on the property because we were celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday and she wanted to stay somewhere that we could have a private pool. It was so nice and relaxing to come back from the parks and have the pool to ourselves. The house was beautiful and comfortable and we enjoyed having our breakfast on the lanai. We love the Disney Resorts but we definitely want to stay at this or one of your other properties again the next time we visit Florida. Thank you for helping to make our first time renting with VRBO a wonderful experience!

Great House for Family at Disney
This house gave all the room and entertainment we needed to have a great vacation at WDW. Quiet neighborhood and quick drive to the park that didn’t require tolls or highways. The pool and game room was loads of fun! Only issues were the dishwasher didn’t work for our entire stay and neither did the ice machine. The microwave didn’t work either but they provided a countertop one so that wasn’t a problem.
