HUGE Cost Saving versus a Hotel for a week!!
Review Submitted: January 3, 2009

Beautiful home. Very spacious, especially for more than one family or a large family. We had 4 families stay together all with children and there was PLENTY of room for us all.
Please note the following: Twin bedrooms do not have a TV in them. This caused a bit of problems for our children who were used to sleeping with a TV on. Also, there was no toliet paper, paper towels, hand soap or dishwasher detergent, so don't forget to bring those items. Listing states the home sleeps 14, yet there is only plates and cups for 12, and seating for 8. If you do go with a large group, bring laundry soap because there is a limited number of towels. There are no pool towels so a large group would run through the towels pretty quick.
Pool had some issues keeping water and cleaning. Pool net had holes in it, so we could not clean it ourselves.
Make sure you print out directions from property owner NOT mapquest, as they will send you the wrong way trying to find the subdivision.
Also, get the property manager's phone and cell numbers from property owner before you leave, as they are no where to be found on the property.
Ignore the big sign on the game room that says to lock the door when not in use, as there is no lock and just a big hole, and that is how it was before you got there, but be careful not to damage anything, as the lamp knob broke off in my dad's hands when he went to turn on the lamp and we are being charged for that. It is one thing to be charged for "out and out" damages and missing items, but normal wear and tear should not be penalized, so make sure you document "odd things" as soon as you arrive and email them immediatley to property owner.
I never saw the fireworks from Disney via the backyard and it isn't 5 minutes from Disney, more like 15-20 minutes which is probably why I didn't see the fireworks. This home is about 30 minutes from Universal.
None the less this home allowed us to stay in a nice, comfortable environment for 1/2 the price of hotel rooms for all of us. I would recommend this property but take my above comments into consideration when packing and staying. Enjoy!!!
