About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic Main Pool House Retreat

Your entire party will be delighted in this spacious and unique historic space.
This 1920’s Colonial Revival home seamlessly blends contemporary touches while showcasing century old home building.

In the heart of downtown, this is a well known residence situated amongst the cobblestone streets just a couple of blocks between a local market and the Lake Eola Park, where visitors and locals enjoy the Sunday Farmers Market, swan watching or outdoor lawn yoga.
Close to Mills 50, Kia Center, Dr Phillips Perform Arts.

The space
For the discerning traveler, may we present Eola’s Main House Retreat, a
residence filled with history, accentuated with high end finishes with preservation to the mid century era when the home was built.

Throughout the home are the original interior doors with original doorknobs and skeleton key locks. Through the home you will see the wavy original glass windows and sash pulley system and window locks of yesteryear.

Just prior to the private back area entrance, you will see the inground pool, one of the few private pools downtown.

Upon entering from the private back entrance, the foyer will welcome you with an original wood ceiling installation and a crystal chandelier. To the left is the open concept fully equipped chefs kitchen with waterfall quartz countertop and a commodious dining area.

Exiting either of the two double French doors from the kitchen or dining area, you may unwind with a morning coffee or afternoon tea on the generous veranda.

Back inside the residence and to the right of the entrance foyer is a spacious living area featuring a real fireplace now adorned with faux heated firewood. Just beyond the French doors is a den with a half bath enclosed by a frosted window barn door. There is a tv and dedicated working space with self service WiFi printer is available. For additional accommodations and comfort, there is a futon sleeper and additional seating sleeper.

On way to the second floor, you may notice the original balusters and again be greeted with the accentuated original wood installation. For added convenience, a water station stands beside a writing desk for an additional dedicated work area.

To the right of the landing is the Primary suite with a real fireplace now adorned with faux heated firewood. There is a sitting area and en-suite towards the far end of the primary bedroom.

To the far left of the stairs is the second bedroom with an en-suite.
Opposite is the third bedroom with a full bathroom just outside of it.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I would love to give this property 0 stars! she cancelled on us 45 minutes before check in! for absolutely no reason. she said non compliance with house rules and told VRBO it was because we did not acknowledge the rules. we signed off on the rules when we booked the property and she sent me an email confirming the rules but did not ask us to respond. Apparently my 56 year old self in town for TWO days on business and my 20 year old nephew that I brought to see the new Highpoint Climbing gym were planning on throwing a WILD party! Thank god for VRBO customer service who refunded our money immediately and are also reimbursing us for our two hotel rooms that we had to book on the fly! Thank god for mariott and thousands of rooms in the orlando area! But stay away from this property- it absolutely was shocking to pull up at a gate at orlando int. and realize you are homeless for absolutely no reason!
