It's good to get away after the theme parks
The home is beautiful and the gated property is very well kept and very secure. The clubhouse is nicely maintained but we didn't need to use it because we were perfectly happy staying at the home. The pool was beautifully warm and nice to relax after the long days at the theme parks. It is nice to get away from the theme parks and not be bombarded all the time especially after you've been at the theme parks all day long. The kitchen is well stocked with pans, cooking utensils and a rice cooker. My only suggestion is that you need to plan, when you arrive, a grocery or Walmart run. The house didn't have laundry detergent, dishwash soap, paper towels, kleenex, saran wrap, foil and only enough toilet paper for 1 day. If you do plan on cooking, there are no spices except for salt and pepper and we did not see any coffee or tea. We left some stuff (foil, sandwich bags, jam) for the next guest but the cleaners probably got rid of it. I have booked a lot of houses and most of them at least provide the basics like saran wrap, paper towels, dishwash soap, pot scrubbers, basic spices (soy sauce, garlic powder) etc. It's hard when you only vacation for 10 days and have to go out and purchase basic supplies when there is no way you will use it up in the 10 days that you are there. This is just a minor thing compared to the convenience of being able to cook, have refrigerated water, pop and juices but it would've been nice if the house was stocked a bit better. The best mattress was in the master bedroom upstairs because it had a pillow top. The rest of the master bedrooms have hard mastresses and must have had a protective covering on it because it makes a rustling sound when you move on the bed. The rooms are well lit so be prepared that if you like to lie in, the rooms let in a lot of sunlight. Also be careful of the amount of toilet paper used in the toilets. Ours clogged easily. The plunger is not kept in the bathrooms as expected but by the laundry machine.
The kids loved the pool table and air hockey and xbox and we overall had a great stay. We probably have higher expectations because of our past experiences.

Owner's Response: Dear Guest
Thank you very much for your honest and detailed review. I apologise that 1 or 2 of the basics had not been replaced upon on your arrival. We do recommend that all guests purchase their own supplies when they arrive. Due to health and safety reasons, our current insurance policy advises us not to leave edible items in the house as we are unable to prove they have not been contaminated, however we will work with our management company to see if we can have more cleaning supplies available. We had recently replaced the upstairs matress, I am pleased you noticed. Thank you again for your time, we look forward to being of service to you again in the future!
