'PARADISE IN ORLANDO', LUXURIOUS HOME NEAR DISNEY FOR RENT IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA

We booked this trip at the last minute and had two 2 year olds and a 3 month old. The place was super clean and the homeowner was very accommodating. The pool was perfect and the layout of the home is great so everyone has their privacy. Some things that I think would have been helpful to know ahead of time are as follows: hair dryers are provided in all of the bathrooms, as well as a bar of soap, shampoo and conditioner. There is are way more than enough towels for both the pool and showers provided, as well as two umbrella strollers and a basic high chair. You must purchase your own laundry soap, dish soap, paper towel, toilet paper, salt, pepper, spices and any other paper products or kitchen supplies. The temps were in the high 80's when we were there but heating the pool was worth the extra money. We used the pool almost every day.

There is a Super Target, Publix and many restaurants within a few miles of the house.

Also, a pack and play must be rented for $50 a week.

Our first trip to the Orlando area and we "took a chance" on renting a house instead of a hotel. WOW...were we pleasantly surprised! There were 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 children (ages 8-13). The home was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and provided us with everything we needed from linens, pool towels, kitchen supplies, pool toys, books, video games, DVD's, alarms clocks, hair dryers, etc. etc. etc.

It was just a short drive to the theme parks, the longest commute was 20 minutes (because of traffic). None of us had ever been to Disney before and we were, of course, looking forward to the parks...but the highlight of our vacation, without a doubt, was having "our own" pool and hot tub! The water was warm enough for a night swim in the cool autumn evenings...the hot tub very relaxing at night.

We will definitely return again, and would highly recommend it to others. Renting this home was a much better value than a hotel...even with a rental car and parking fees at the parks! The management was very responsive and the owner was helpful and prompt with replies. Restaurants and groceries within a few miles. The home was more than we could have ever expected!

5 stars from Minnesota!!!!

Thanks so much for the great stay in Orlando in October 2010. We loved the house and it was the perfect size and layout for our party of a family of 5, and two sets of grandparents. Everything was clean and well ordered. We had just what we needed to make a few meals in the kitchen. The locations is great - so close to Disney! We loved it and recommend it!
