Great experience with this home and owners!
We received all details about expectations prior to trip. Our family drove from Georgia and we were exhausted after the long drive. We were allowed to check in about 30 minutes before allowed check in time by owner, we were very grateful for that.
Home was as expected, some recent updates to paint and decor. Everything was very clean. Lots of extra linens and towels available. Kitchen had many basics included although we didn’t do much cooking during our visit. Washer and dryer were great, especially clothesline in garage. Neighborhood was pretty quiet and clean. Neighbors were a little close for us, we were worried our kids in the pool would be loud and distracting to those living nearby.
Pool was very refreshing on hot days and nights, lots of poolside chairs.
On a typical day, our drive to Universal was about 30-40 minutes, barring any major accidents or 5pm traffic. Publix was a 5-minute drive, lots of nearby places to eat.
Owners were very responsive and checked in on us. Seemed understanding when we advised a picture frame fell in one of the bedrooms and cracked. My preteens were grateful, they were worried they would be blamed for it 😅
Just a few notes: Mattresses were a little stiff, and we’re not usually too picky about beds. Fan in the master bedroom is a little loud when on, but we’re not really light sleepers so it wasn’t too bad but definitely noticeable. Home temp is kept at 76, which is a little warmer than we like, hence why we used the fan. Our family is pretty low maintenance and we don’t complain about much, especially when most of our time in the area awake was away from the home.
We will keep this home in mind if we revisit the area!
