Awesome Vacation Home
Submitted: November 15, 2010
Stayed: October 2010
OUR GROUP:
We were a group of seven (ages ranging from 1 to 65). We stayed at the home from October 27th, 2010 until November 9th, 2010.
THE HOME:
This was our first time renting a home online and obviously there were some apprehensions about doing so. However, all these worries were laid to rest as soon as we pulled up to the house. This home was everything it promised and more! The home was super clean and the pictures were accurate in their representation. The kitchen was enormous and the bedrooms were beautiful. The home is on a corner lot so there is tons of privacy as there are no neighbours behind or to the right of the home.
POOL AND PATIO AREA:
The kids (ages 1 and 3) loved the pool and the adults loved the hot tub!=-) The temperatures were perfect for both the pool and hot tub. There is a gate separating the patio area from the pool which was a nice added safety feature as we did have little ones roaming around.
We also rented the bbq during our stay and it was ready for us when we got there which was great. We had an awesome time grilling meals and sitting outside enjoying the weather as we ate.
LOCATION:
You can get to pretty much anywhere (Disney, Universal, Seaworld, etc...) by driving 30 minutes or less. The home is literally like a 3 minute drive to the interstate. For those golfers, Champions Gate is a two minute drive away! There's a plaza with a Walgreens, Publix, restaurants, and a bank in it less than 4 minutes away. However, I would definitely recommend renting a car if you stay at the home as I didn't see too many taxis and/or buses around the area.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND OWNER:
During our stay, we had a slight problem with the pool heat (temperature was incorrect) and food disposal system (didn't work). We contacted the property management company with regards to these two issues and the issues were fixed the same day.
The owner of the property, Samantha, is totally awesome!! She literally has her guests best interests at heart. She would always check in via email to make sure that everything was good. Samantha knows how to take care of her guests and our vacation was made all that much more relaxing knowing that if we had a problem, we could let Samantha know and she would take care of it!
OVERALL:
I definitely recommend staying at this home! We were all sad when it came time to leave as the home was amazing!! We plan on returning to this home as soon as we can! Awesome rental home!!!
