This was our third trip to the Orlando area in the last four years, all times during the Easter break, peak season at Disney. We chose this property for a very important reason, we needed somewhere to unwind when not at the theme parks. We stayed on site at Universal before and you could never escape the crowds or frenetic pace of the parks. At this condo we had options. We were able to enjoy the semi private community pool that was located a short walking distance from the condo, when we needed a little more activity we went to the main pool that had a restaurant, gym bar and game room. Best of all we had access to the on site lazy river and water park. For the 6 year old and 1 year old there was an age appropriate water park with slides similar to the Counts Castle from Sesame Place in PA. We spent a whole entire day there! Drinks by the pool and kids happy and entertained! We did not have to leave this property at all if we did not want to. The resort is kept immaculate, and although it was peak season, the resort was not over run with people. I also used the spa on site and had a wonderful massage! I only wished we played golf!
The condo itself was also wonderful. Very clean with new furniture and the floor plan was excellent. The kitchen was fully equipped as well. Cooked several meals daily. Since we were traveling with an infant it was great to have a section of the townhouse we could keep the older kids out of. We were 3 adults and 3 kids, and there was plenty of room for everyone. We had breakfast out on the balcony which overlooked the golf course and on a few mornings there were several hot air balloons in the sky.
The property is also located walking distance to a CVS pharmacy and a Dunkin Donuts. A short drive out of the main gate and across the street was a Publix. The theme parks were short rides away. This resort is close enough to all of the Orlando attractions, but situated perfectly so you are not at the foot of the strip of souvenir shops and fast food restaurants. You really can make Orlando relaxing by these surroundings. The owner Bruce whom I dealt with primarily was very nice and helpful and always got back to me quickly. I look forward to returning here again and again.
