Our family of four stayed here for a week while visiting the parks. Super close to Sea World, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove. Realistically its at least 20-30 minutes to Disney parks (more depending on traffic), not 10 that’s advertised. We visited a park every day so we were really only there to sleep. It is a gated community, but the gates were always open except for our last two days. It’s a nice area, though, and we didn’t feel unsafe at all.
PROS:
1. Close to Sea World parks
2. Chick-fil-A and Publix are super close as well as other restaurants.
3. Unit is roomy and clean. Photos are accurate. Beds were good and the kitchen seems well stocked, though we didn’t cook.
4. We had a headboard (queen bed) break in our first 10 minutes (fell off as soon as we sat on the edge of the bed to unpack, screws were loose). Didn’t affect our stay but the management never responded after we messaged them.
CONS:
1. Walls/floors/ceilings are thin. We could hear people in the unit above us all week - their music, walking, doors closing, alarm clocks in the morning... etc. Even with the white noise makers we travel with it was tough to get uninterrupted sleep.
2. The TVs have ALL the channels. Our daughter was flipping through stations looking for the Disney Channel and stumbled upon a very graphic x-rated movie… at 6pm. Just a heads up for the parents!
Overall the place was nice. If you want super quiet - it’s probably not for you, but most people would probably enjoy it.
