Bookings are on a first come first served basis so act now to avoid disappointment.
Some things to note: The backyard "splash" pools, when heated, will not feel warm like a bathtub, nor are they designed to. They are designed to be used as a place to "cool off" & splash around. Public swimming pools are typically set to approx 78 - 82 degrees. Our pool heater is set to 85 degrees. We also have an additional heater for the "on demand" spa (set to 104 degrees) & our heating fee is for both the pool heat & the spa heat.
All homes in Florida with electric pool heaters/pumps will be affected by the ambient temperature. If it is very cold outside, all of the pools with electric heaters may struggle to achieve &/or maintain the optimal temperature (this is especially true if the temp drops below 55). So while the pool might not be able to heat to the desired temperature during really cold weather, the pump is still running during the day, & the pool will typically be warmer than if the heat had not been turned on at all. Because of this, we also have a propane heater for the spa which is not affected by the ambient temperature. The spa, when activated, should be able to heat to the optimal temperature (104 degrees) regardless of the ambient/outdoor temperature although it may take a few minutes longer.
There are two exterior cameras: one is positioned at the side of the house facing the heater(s) & pool pump; the other facing the corner of the driveway/garage. For your privacy, no audio is recorded, there are no cameras inside the home and the cameras have no view of the pool or pool deck.
Parking: cars staying overnight on the resort require a resort access card/pass. Up to 2 car passes are included with your stay. The resort allows for up to 6 cars overnight. Additional passes, if required, can be purchased at the resort upon arrival for $20 each.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. A Smart TV comes with cable channels and Netflix, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

The stay was great the house was great had a few hiccups but the communication between myself and the property manager was great. Only thing is the cleaning people left a lot of hair in the master bedroom/bathroom not sure if they used the same rag or just didn’t realize it but a lot of hair was left around. But other then that our stay was great fit our families needs the outside area was great the game room satisfied the kids and the location was convenient.

Nice house for Disney trip
This house had everything we needed for 4 adults and 3 kids. Plenty of space and 15-20 min from Disney. The kids enjoyed the Mickey theme room, game room, and pool. The pool lights were not working when we arrived, but the owner was very quick to respond and fixed them problem. The little welcome package with cereal, bread, milk, jelly, OJ, and cookies was such a special touch. I wish we would have had more time to explore the community, because it had so much to offer. I would recommend this house while staying in the area!

Right On
We visit Florida a lot, a family of 4 with two older teens. This is a pretty 4Bd 3Bath home in lovely gated community of Emerald Island. It's about 10 minutes from Disney World, Animal Kingdom the closest, off Highway 192.
Clean, roomy, comfortable home, good wifi, 6 TV's, a fully equipped kitchen,, beds comfy. Two masters en suite. The main one with large shower and jetted tub, walk in closet. Game room has a pool table basket ball game and mini- air hockey, washer/dryer. There's a wall AC unit in there, to cool the place off before using.
The private pool was clean and fun. No heat needed in the summer; you'll need it for the winter.
Publix, Walmart(crazy busy at times), Target nearby with lots of restaurants. Visit Celebration and Old Town; check out some goofy gift shops on 192, play mini-golf.
We love Universal, about 25-30 minutes depending on traffic. Get to the parks early. Cocoa Beach about an hour; Clearwater a bit further. MCO about 35-45 minutes. Traffic has definitely increased heavily over recent years.
We always find something new to do when we visit. Marilyn, the host, is very attentive. Thanks for everything!

We had an amazing stay at the property. It was close to everything we needed. Marilyn was amazing from the start with her communication and making sure we had everything we needed. The care package she left for us to start our vacation was an amazing touch and there were lots of things in the house that were greatly appreciated and not provided in other places we have stayed. Any issues that came up during our stay she and the property manager were quick to address and were very accommodating in making things right so we could enjoy our time at the property. I would highly recommend Marilyn’s home and if we return and it’s available I will for sure stay again. Thank you Marilyn for everything.

Family vacation fun!
This home was as described and thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. The hostess was so helpful, staying in touch and offering information and tips from the moment I selected this rental.
The one comment from one of my nieces was that they found some areas a little dusty (including the ceiling fan). But the hostess package of goodies was really welcomed and appreciated - a very nice touch!
The neighborhood this home is located in is also great - plenty of amenities and close to shops and restaurants (and not too far from the parks!). All in all, this one we recommend to any families looking for a nice place to stay while in the Orlando area.
Thanks Marilyn!

DISNEY DESTINATION
Marilyn was always there to answer questions & was always on top of things. Nice place with plenty of room. Kids loved the game room. The place is only 20 min from Disney. The only complaint I would have would be the pool. We paid to have the pool heated the week we were there. We are from PA, so when I hear heated I think warm. It was cold! The hot tub was really nice was able to utilize that. When I called the guy about the pool, he told us weather conditions can make a difference & it did get cold in the evenings. Maybe make that a little clearer when paying $30 per day for pool heating!
