Location, location, location makes this house so desirable along with the great layout and furnishings. We stayed in the perfect house that was toddler and senior friendly!
The location and house exceeded our expectations! The Windward Cay development is located a few streets off of Highyway192 (not a Highway per California standards but a 2 lane road with stop lights) and is very close to the WDW parks, Publix Supermarket, Target, Wal-mart, MCO airport and the freeway/toll roads. We could easily get to the WDW properties on surface roads without fighting the freeway traffic. Windward Cay is a small, intimate development with quiet, owner occupied and well maintained detached homes. We walked and played in the streets and met friendly neighbors and saw 2 peacocks running around!
The house has 4 bedrooms and 4 ½ bathrooms. (Yes, 4 ½ bathrooms!) Each bedroom had its own full bathrooms with a tub and shower to insure privacy and soundproofing. The ½ bathroom was downstairs by the family room. There is one bedroom downstairs and 3 bedrooms upstairs. The top of the stairs had a baby gate! The 2 upstairs bedrooms were at the front of the house and were separated by a long hallway to the other bedroom. The house layout is perfect for multi-generations traveling together and to keep a screaming toddler in the middle of the night from waking everyone up. The wireless internet access worked throughout the house!
The kitchen was fully stocked as a gourmet kitchen and included nice touches that included an electric tea kettle, food scale, vases, table cloth, place mats, and lots of serving trays, pots and pans. It allowed us to have a memorable Christmas Eve dinner for 12.
The house was kid friendly with the WDW themed bedrooms and nice kid touches. The pool had a fence around it, a pool cover and the doors leading to the pool had locks that little hands could not reach. We appreciated that the owner had a full size crib with mattress, high chair, stroller (with a big underneath basket for WDW!) and an exersaucer. The house was tastefully decorated with nice furniture and the wall hangings/pictures were theme parks and characters and Florida décor.
The house and owner were great. The owner was very easy to work with accommodating and always got back to us promptly by email. The property management company called us upon our arrival to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. WE WOULD RENT THIS HOUSE AGAIN!
