The covered lanai features comfortable seating, alfresco dining, cooling fans, and an outdoor TV, creating the perfect setting for outdoor living. A large gas BBQ grill is included for relaxed lakeside cookouts.

The fenced garden offers even more space to unwind, complete with an outdoor ping‑pong table and shady spots beneath the trees. Fishing in the lake is permitted, adding a peaceful pastime for guests.

We use vrbos 4-6 times a year. This property was immaculate, well furbished, very well located, and had a sunset in the backyard. It was the best pool we have ever had and we had absolutely no issues..

Fabulous house, excellent location

A spacious, well equipped and comfortable house with a lovely pool and outdoor area. Could have spent a lot of time happily just using the pool and games room but as a bonus it is also very convenient for the theme parks, especially Disney World. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the evening watching the lovely sunsets. Good supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The Rock and Brew became a favourite.

Luxurious stay

Four adults stayed in this beautiful home. We couldn't believe how well stocked this home was and were surprised with the options we had to make our vacation comfortable. The pool area and view were a perfect way to relax and getaway from the fast pace of Disney. The location is very convenient whether for shopping needs, dining or the parks. I will highly recommend this property to friends and family looking to experience the magic of Disney!

We had another wonderful time here. On our second year here and already booked for next year. As my family said “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. This house is a wonderful place to unwind and forget about everything. This house is everything it claims to be and more. Haven’t stayed in anything nicer in all ours years coming to Florida.

The house was in great shape and very spacious. The kitchen had all of the dishes/pans etc we needed. We spent most of the time at the pool that over looks the pond and playing cornhole outside in the fenced in side yard. We would rent this again if we ever came back to the area. Thanks Tom

Best trip ever

We had an amazing time. This was our first time visiting Disney World where we didn't stay on the property because we were celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday and she wanted to stay somewhere that we could have a private pool. It was so nice and relaxing to come back from the parks and have the pool to ourselves. The house was beautiful and comfortable and we enjoyed having our breakfast on the lanai. We love the Disney Resorts but we definitely want to stay at this or one of your other properties again the next time we visit Florida. Thank you for helping to make our first time renting with VRBO a wonderful experience!

Great House for Family at Disney

This house gave all the room and entertainment we needed to have a great vacation at WDW. Quiet neighborhood and quick drive to the park that didn’t require tolls or highways. The pool and game room was loads of fun! Only issues were the dishwasher didn’t work for our entire stay and neither did the ice machine. The microwave didn’t work either but they provided a countertop one so that wasn’t a problem.
