Thank you, Ashley, for sharing your lovely home with us. When we planned our trip for our daughter’s 16th birthday, we were not sure how many grandparents and cousins would join our family of five. In the end, it ended up being me (the Mom) plus my daughter and my 7 year old son, plus two of her besties.
It was far more house than we needed but it gave us the ability to spread out and have space to ourselves which I liked, as a reprieve from our overly busy normal work and school schedules. We had plenty of downtime, and one of my daughter’s friends is an avid reader and loved the Harry Potter room reading nook. Downtime and recharge time was on the list for the week and we all got it.
We did use the spa, we barely used the pool at all. While it was in the 70’s by day the water was quite chilly. I missed the detail on heating the pool for an extra charge per day, but no matter, the heated spa was great and we spent more time playing video games, air hockey and watching movies in the game room.
The house was very clean and everything in its place. Ashley was a very accommodating and responsive host. She even had a Christmas tree in the home, which we all loved having! We stayed December 17th-23rd and went home for Christmas Eve with our families.
I loved the gate security, felt safe all week. Close and easy access to Walmart for pickup ordering was convenient.
It turned quite cold by the time we were leaving. Coldest Christmas in 30 years in Orlando. I could happily hunker down in this home and not need to go anywhere. In fact my 7 year old said “do we have to go anywhere today or can we stay in our house”? He loved it.
Thank you, Ashley, for a wonderful home and successful celebration with my little crew.
