Perfect Vacation Home
Review Submitted: July 6, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
I was extremely nervous about renting a villa directly from owner...sight unseen. How do I know if the pictures are real? How do I know if it is truly close to Disney? I was a wreck and encountering tales online of bad villa experiences did not help. Well, my interactions with the owner eased my fears a little. He was gracious, fair, accomodating, and professional. Any residual fears immediately subsided the moment we turned into the Encantada. It was exquisite. The grounds, clubhouse, pools, spas.....Everything....was beautiful and clean. I was further impressed with the villa itself. We stayed there a week and truly felt at home. It looks exactly like the pictures and it was clean. It is roomy with a well supplied kitchen and a nice washer and dryer. It was wonderful to have our own personal pool to go to after a long day at the the parks. The pool was fairly big and sparkling clean. The villa is very close to the clubhouse so the other pools and spas were less than a minute's walk away.There are two main pools, one is zero-entry, two spas, and a lovely lake. The resort itself is relatively peaceful and seemingly secluded but close to many resturants and shopping. Most importantly for Disney visitors, this property truly is very close to Disney. I don't recall it ever taking any longer than 5-10 minutes to get to any of the four Disney Parks. I really don't think it ever took us more than 8 minutes, even with a little traffic. Overall, this is an extraordinary place to stay during vacation. The staff is great, the owner is great, and the villa is fabulous.
