Great Location - Roomy Home - But...
Submitted: January 29, 2013
Stayed: January 2013
The Pros: Judy and Harlan were so nice to deal with from the first email until the day we arrived. We were able to rent the house for a very reasonable rate, and the location was very convenient (Disney was just minutes away and Universal was a quick 15 minute drive). The neighborhood was very quiet and seemed safge (despite it not being a gated community). The grounds to the house were well-kept. The house itself was roomy and comfortable and very well-stocked (we were happy to have a stroller for the park!) We also liked that there were condiments, paper products and a few cleaning items available too (we left some things behind for the next guests as well!). The swimming pool was kept at a perfect temperature (no extra charge for pool heat!), and the kids were able to enjoy swimming several times. The beds/mattresses and pillows were comfortable.
The Cons: Some parts of the house were just not cleaned properly. The down comforter in the queen bedroom was visibly stained and dirty. We immediately took it off the bed so that my daughter wouldn't sleep near it. The ceiling fan and baseboards in that bedroom were VERY dusty. Both bathtubs had a considerable amount of hair in them, and I was happy that were were all able to just use the shower stall (which was clean). The most bothersome was the kitchen - there were sticky cup rings on the counter and a considerable amount of what i believe is bacon grease in and on the microwave (leaving an unpleasant smell). We used whatever cleaning supplies we could find to clean as best we can, but I was disappointed in that aspect of the rental.
The breakdown - While this house would not be my first choice for a return visit, I would stay here again over a hotel. The house (and the neighborhood in general) is older and could use some updating, but (aside from the few cleaning issues) it was a safe, comfortable, budget-friendly place to stay in the Kissimmee area.
