Other things to note Gated Resort for added security- please provide confirmation of the reservation to the guard. Home has a keypad for easy entry.
Pool heat is optional and costs an extra $45 per day+tax (you will receive an invoice after booking should you wish to heat the pool to standard pool temperatures only during daytime hours (not usually necessary May-Sep). We would recommend adding pool and spa heat to your reservation between the months of November and April.
ORDERING POOL HEAT: Pool heat available for $45 a day + tax. If you would like the Spa / Hot Tub to be heated you will need to add the pool heat to your reservation. The pool heater operates on a timer and is set to come on in the morning and go off in the evening. (9am-9pm). Pool heat is not recommended for short stays, since it usually requires 72 hours to heat the swimming pool. Please note, that for the first days of your stay the pool won’t be heated.
The spillover spa cannot be heated on its own. The spillover spa is attached to the pool, using the same water. There is no option to only heat the spa since it is the same water as the pool. When pool heating is chosen, the pool will be heated to a temperature around 80-84 degrees Fahrenheit. When in the spa mode, it will be heated up to between 94 - 102 degrees Fahrenheit. If left in spa mode the pool will not be getting any heated water and so the pool will cool down.
Pool heat must be purchased before your stay for the entire duration of your stay. In the coldest winter months heating the pool can be difficult as the water temperature drops overnight. Florida has a temperate climate but cold fronts can bring overnight temperatures in the 30`s and 40`s that can last for several days. Unfortunately, under these circumstances there is no way the pool heater will be able to keep the water at a temperature in the mid to high 80`s, especially where pool heat is provided via an electric heat pump if the outside air temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Electric heating pumps do not operate effectively below this temperature, and failure of such devices to heat the pool to the desired temperature is outside of our control and is regarded as an act of nature. Please note that cold weather does NOT constitute a mechanical failure and no refunds will be given for problems that are due to cold weather.
ORDERING A BBQ GRILL: The house does not have a grill, but we do have a grill available for rent. Price for the first week: $135 USD and after the first week you can get get another week for $135 or pay each extra day for $20. It is a 4 burner grill (Gas). If interested, you need to notify the hose prior to arrival. It is not possible to order a grill once your reservation has started.
If you want an early check-in or a late check-out please ask the host for availability.
Early Check-in: 1:00 PM ($150 USD)
Late Check-out: 1:00 PM ($150 USD)

Avoid this place!
This place was a complete disaster.
From check in to nothing in the house working. I have come to Orlando for the last 25 years during this week and have rented numerous homes for my business associates during a big conference. stranded for hours waiting for a code to get in the house, we finally get in the house and the house was not even cleaned yet, so attempted to sleep on the sofa with no success, then the cleaning folks show up the next day and they did a horrible job, numerous issues. This place is disaster, the amount of time we spent complaining was a complete waste of time. we received one free night for our troubles. WORTHLESS! VRBO needs to remove this listing! AVOID THIS PLACE.

Best Time!
We stayed here with our group of family, and loved our stay! The house was clean and well stocked, with plenty of room and bedrooms so the 10 of us didn’t feel squished! The kids loved the pool and it was a short drive to the food store and the parks, would definitely recommend and stay again!! Thank you Lisa for an amazing time!

5 stars is an understatement!
This house was absolutely beautiful! Everyone in my family fully enjoyed everything this house had to offer!
It was VERY clean and spacious. All of our needs were met. Our children(2-18)were never bored! Most of our time was spent in the pool area and game room. We have zero complaints and can’t wait to rent again with Lisa!

Amazing, really enjoyed The Southern Wonder of the World
This home was nothing less than AMAZING! The house has so many rooms that are comfortable and the house easily accommodated our large family on our trip to Disney! All of us enjoyed staying here from our 92 year old grandma to the young kids. Everything was sparkling clean! Nice, quiet neighborhood close to convenience stores, gas station, restaurants, etc! Lisa was a fantastic host. She not only kept us updated throughout the entire time leading up to our stay, but was quick to respond to any and all questions that happened throughout. She gave advice on local spots, and even helped tend to us when we had quick requests. Her house was impeccable and her approach to the our stay was extremely professional and warm. This is my fourth time to Orlando, and my only regret is that I didn't find Lisa sooner. I will never stay with another host again in the area that isn't Lisa. Thank you!!

We Loved The Southern Wonder of the World !!!
Wow! That’s the only way to describe this property & the holiday we have just experienced. Having been to Orlando numerous occasions previously, this by far was our favorite stay. The place was immaculate, extremely spacious, modern. The pool & spa was amazing, and the kids loved every minute of the games room & cinema room!! Lisa and her team were fantastic hosts, helpful from the day we booked until the day we had to leave. We haven’t a single thing to complain about, and would truly recommend this place to anyone. Thanks again!!!

Wow!! The Southern Wonder of the World
Hands down the best vacation rental! The kids were in heaven. Game room, movie theater, pool, and hot tub kept them entertained for days!! For the kitchen they have everything you need as far as pots, pans, plates, silverware, etc. There is a Publix and Target right by the house which was very convenient. We had pizza delivered from Pizzeria Italia one night and it was delicious. Highly recommend! Lisa was amazing and very quick to respond to questions. All in all it was a amazing vacation!

Perfect Family Place
There was a total of 11 adults and five grandchildren. The house was perfect. It was roomy enough for everyone without anyone feeling slighted for space. I would highly recommend this place if you’re ever in the area. The home has a great game room a great movie theater room, and bedrooms and bathrooms for days. We loved it. The owner was responsive to any needs immediately. It was truly a great experience.
