FUN BEACH DECOR, FREE SOLAR POOL HEAT, BBQ & WIRELESS INTERNET

We really enjoyed staying at this house for spring break! It's in a convenient location to Disney and Universal and close to grocery stores and restaurants. The listing description and pictures were true and accurate. The house was spacious and well-equipped for all our needs. The kids loved the pool, game room, game system and DVD's. There was also a basketball that we took to the neighborhood courts. The house was really clean and it was a quiet escape from the crowds at the parks. We loved being able to take our dog with us on vacation. The owner was friendly and helpful in answering all our questions. Overall it was a great experience!

The location was pretty much perfect! The longest drive was, if I remember, 15 minutes from the farthest Disney park. The neighborhood was very safe and quiet, almost too quiet from what I'm used to, lol!

It is most recommended that you have a rental car for transportation. Freeway access was very easy and never experienced any side-street traffic. Freeway traffic was almost nonexistent; however, I'm used to the traffic in the San Francisco Bay Area. Food and convenience stores were a really short drive away with the bigger stuff (ex Super Target) were just a few miles out.

The house was large and very clean! It has plenty of room for more than 7 people, up to 9 adults assuming 3 pairs were sharing the larger beds. The living room sofa was not a pull out bed, if I remember correctly. At least two bedrooms (master rooms) had ceiling fans; can't remember the other two rooms.

Each room has its own TV with a flat panel in the living room. The other TVs were the old tubes, but that's okay--didn't watch much anyway! Also, I believe each TV was cable-connected. There was open Wi-fi in the house. I would have preferred that the network was not an open network and at least password protected for security.

The bathrooms were nice and large. The showers were a bit lacking in pressure but was tolerable--I think a different showerhead might be a solution. (Note: I am a water pressure snob when it comes to showers--most probably aren't like me.) The water itself was not soft water (thank goodness), I can't stand soft water!

I really liked the washer and dryer--high capacity!

We were so busy that we never got a chance to use the pool though I am sure it would've been fun.

Overall, the house was great and would definitely stay here again! Allergy sufferers will be joyous that the floors are all tile! Kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, glassware, and utensils.

NOTE: It's probably best to get a supply of the following prior to arrival: Paper Towel, Tissue, Laundry Detergent, Food/Beverages, Hand Soap, and the standard travel toiletries.

We had a great time in Florida and the house rental was more than we had hoped for. The only request made by almost all in our party was that the beds could be more comfortable. Outside of that this was a great place to stay and enjoy our family. Our six grandkids couldn't wait to get back to the house in the early evening so they could enjoy the pool. I must say having it heated was an added expense, but well worth it for all. I would recommend this house to any of our friends who wanted a convent place to stay especially with a large group. We hope we can travel again to Florida and enjoy this rental again and again.
