Executive 6/5.5 Pool/Spa/Internet/Games Room Villa Offering

We stayed at Terra Verde for 5 nights in January 2013 for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. The location was fantastic, with a 20 minute drive to Epcot, without traffic. There were ample shops, grocery stores, and restaurants approximately 10 minutes away from the community.

The home has 6 bedrooms, and 5.5 baths, and was clean and modern. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook our meals for several nights of our stay. A Pack and Play crib, along with highchair and small stroller were available. One bedroom and 1.5 baths were located on the first floor; all others were located on the second floor. The garage had been converted to a game room, and was well stocked with activities; however, it was quite musty inside. The pool and hot tub were clean, though a pool skimmer would have been useful for the bugs that had flown into the pool during our stay. The hot tub cover had a bit of mold growing on the inside. The pool was pleasant, though not as warm as we expected, though the outdoor temperature was warm enough for the heater to function properly. The hot tub did not work all the time; an error message appeared related to the heating pump. We reported this to Rajesh, the property manager; however, no one was sent to investigate the error. We were able to use the hot tub twice, which was fantastic, but would have really liked to use it after we ran the marathon!!

We accidentally left a few items behind after we had checked out, and Rajesh kindly offered to ship these items to me, but for a fee plus the cost of shipping.

Overall, we would probably stay here again. The privacy offered by a villa versus a hotel room is a benefit and allows large groups to spend more quality time together. For the most part, the house was clean, but could benefit from a bit more maintenance (e.g., a de-humidifier in the garage, checking the hot tub for errors before each stay). Though I suppose these are the pitfalls of vacation homes, in general!
