Couldn't Have Been Happier
Review Submitted: October 6, 2011
Date of Stay: September 2011
After an underwhelming experience staying at a Disney resort 2 years ago, my wife and I decided to stay off property this year, focusing our search on the condos in Windsor Hills. We narrowed our choices down to two, based on availability and price, and ultimately decided to rent from Joyce because of her willingness to answer all my questions, her flexibility in working with me on the scheduling, and the overall look and feel of the condo from this advertisement. In a nutshell, we were thrilled with our decision.
First the pros:
- It's a gated property, which adds to the comfort and security level.
- There is plenty of parking right outside the unit.
- The condo was clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable for my family of 5.
- The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to eat a number of meals "at home" and save $$ by not having to eat out 3 times per day.
- Unlike a hotel room, the kids had their own bedrooms, so we could put them to bed on time while staying up later ourselves.
- The pool at Windsor Hills is FANTASTIC and HUGE. It has a zero entry front, a splash park, a water slide, and a hot tub for adults. And it never gets deeper than 4 feet. And it's literally a 1 minute walk from door to the clubhouse.
- Bath towels, pools towels, linens...everything was provided that we needed.
- The proximity to all Disney World theme parks couldn't have been better. It was a literal 5-10 minute drive until we were on Disney property.
- Windsor Hills is off the main road (Rte 192), but close enough for all your shopping and dining needs.
Now the cons (and these are minor, at best):
- A few hooks in the bathrooms to hang towels (in addition to the installed towel bars).
- And that's it. I can't think of anything else.
Our trip to Disney was great this year, and staying in this condo most definitely added to that positive experience. The kids had so much fun in the pool, we almost wish we had more time to enjoy it, but hitting the theme parks every day doesn't leave much time for swimming. I was thrilled with the accommodations (so much better than a hotel room!), and how short of a drive everything was to our location. And my wallet liked the savings we enjoyed by eating all our breakfasts (and a few of our lunches and dinners) at home.
I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone who would feel more comfortable staying at a place that feels like home and not a hotel. And isn't that everyone?
