A good place to stay!

For the price you pay, it is actually a pretty good place to stay. The description was pretty accurate about the location, the amount of bedrooms and the amenities available to us. There is a bathroom downstairs in the main living room-kitchen area as well for convenience. It was about a 10 minute drive (we took non-toll roads) to each park and the drive from the airport and back was very convenient because of the highways. There are a lot of shops around including a Target that has a grocery store in it and a Publix supermarket if you're not into shopping at Target. There are also a lot of restaurants if you don't want to cook at home or eat at the theme parks. There is also a 24 hour Walgreens about a mile away, which is good especially if you were like our party and we took advantage of the late Disney hours.
We did not take advantage of the pool because we went during the off season, which is really cold, but if you want, they can heat the pool for a moderate price a night.
When looking at the description of the property, they do supply everything that is detailed such as towels, pans, pots, plates, but keep in mind that the desciption is exact. They will supply a limited amount of materials such as toilet paper, dish washer soap, paper towels, and lighter fluid to do outdoor grilling, but it's only enough to get you started - Plan to buy these things when grocery shopping.
It was for the most part clean, we just had an issue with one of the ladels being greasy and not thoroughly cleaned that was placed back in the canister filled with other cooking tools. Also, we had an issue with one of the chairs falling apart (looks like someone wood glued a leg back on???). The door has a key code, which locked us out the first night even though we put in the right code and had got in before the lock-out. The front desk cannot help you, you have to contact an offsite manager. Also, you have to check in at an office that is a unit in the gated community with a credit card and ID.
For the most part, this was worth the money paid and would recommend it to a friend or relative.
