62 Acre Island - Sleeps 40+
Gorgeous 62+ Acre Private Island (easily accessible by car via land bridge!) popularly known as "The Ever After Estate"
Sleep 10, 20, 30 or up to 43 guests!
Featured on HGTV's 'America's Most Outrageous Homes!'-- "The Ever After Estate" is incredibly unique & entertaining. This lush private island is more than "just another nice house...." It's more like having your very own private oasis resort ALL TO YOUR SELVES!!! Kids and adults tell us they never want to leave!
The estate was even chosen by HGTV as one of America's 'MOST OUTRAGEOUS HOMES!'
The estate has FOUR video game arcades w/ commercial machines plus indoor AND outdoor (poolside) movie theaters... There's also a basketball court, soccer field, horseshoe pit, bean bag toss custom-build field....AND... a 14 hole themed commercial-grade mini golf course! Then there's the indoor slide, indoor rock climbing, chalkboard room (where you can literally write all over the walls!), motorized carousel rides, fishing, 'Ballpit' Room--featuring 23,000 balls to splash in... sound stage bedroom, gym, two full kitchens plus a separate outdoor kitchen... AND MORE-- all on 62 private, gated acres!
13 themed bedrooms with incredibly comfortable beds all relate to classic & hit movies-- From the "Castaway Suite" to the Custom Harry Potter themed bedroom, Star Wars room (w/ life-sized C3P0, Han Solo frozen in Carbonite, and more!), the Rocky Balboa bedroom (w/ boxing ring bed!) and even a Marvel Vs DC ballpit, the theming alone will astonish!
The Ever After Estate is peaceful. It is private. It is a truly gorgeous slice of nature... There are huge green fields, mature oak trees, tropical landscaping, and beautiful sand hill cranes.
Luxury... Its lazy Southern style porches are complemented by over-the-top luxuries and eccentricities like a heated toilet seat, remote-controlled blinds, 2 fully-stocked indoor kitchens, 2 elaborate outdoor kitchens, carousel horse rides, indoor and outdoor billiards tables, game rooms, video arcades w/ full-sized game machines, air hockey, foosball, table tennis, horseshoes, tetherball, private mini golf, extensive mural work, fairy tale theme, indoor AND outdoor movie theaters, hot tubs, playgrounds, a water park-style slide into a lagoon themed waterfall pool, a 2 story indoor slide into a recreation room, and so much more!
***ANSWERS TO SOME OF THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS***
1. How do 45 People Fit In 13 Bedrooms at The Ever After Estate?!?! Each bedroom has either a King bed, a Queen bed, or two twin bunks. Therefore, the 13 main bedrooms sleep 26 guests. Additionally, the Estate has 14 twin rollaway beds, one full-sized futon, 9 luxury reclining theater seats, and couches! The remaining guests are either babies using our pack-n-play cribs OR adults/kids using their own sleeping bags, our couches, their own tents for camping... Most commonly: Teens/young adults using the fully-reclining luxury seats of our movie theater--which include blankets & pillows! (They tend to fall asleep in there after playing video games & watching movies on the giant screen until the wee hours!!!)
2. It Says You Have A 3 Night Minimum...but..I only need 1 or 2 nights... Sorry, the minimum is in place for good reason BUT... If* we have a 1-2 night GAP in our calendar, then you can certainly fill THAT slot by special request! Say, for example, we have a guest scheduled to check out on a Wednesday and the next guest isn't checking in until that Friday. THEN, you could fill that 2 night Wednesday-Friday gap if you want to! Otherwise, just go ahead and book 3 nights-- You may choose not to sleepover the 3rd night--but at least you'll be able to stay on site as long as you want that last day---checking out late--- since you will have technically booked the Estate through the following morning!
3. How Much Does It Cost To Rent The Ever After Estate? Most of the year, it's $1895-$2135/night. Departure cleaning is $888 and taxes are 11%. For exact prices, select dates here on VRBO. In the upper right corner, there will be an "average nightly" rate displayed with a "VIEW DETAILS" link right below it. There is a $285 fee if you book and then cancel. Deposits are refunded for cancellations up to 120 days before arrival.
4. Is It Negotiable? Not at all, sorry! The Ever After Estate is a very special property. The owner's family only rents it out when they travel (which is 60-90 nights per year!) and they simply don't leave such an incredible home for less. Tremendous work goes into preparing for (and after) each guest and the rates accurately reflect how much the owner's need to recoup to make it fair to all. When you consider that most decent Central Florida hotels are $150-$250 per night (plus parking, fees, etc;) to sleep 2-4 people, surely you'll agree that $1900/night to sleep up to 46 people on your own privately gated 62 acre island is an excellent deal!
5. Cancellation policy? Your deposit minus a $285 booking fee and any applicable credit card fees will be refunded if you cancel more than 120 days prior to your scheduled check-in. This policy overrides any other posted on Homeaway/VRBO

Very elegant abd attractively furnished.
The property was beautiful, and the 3 homes were decorated beautifully. The children had a wonderful time with all the games and pool. We never had to help entertain them. What wasn't great was the sofa bed in the guest house. Son & daughter in law had to put mattress on the floor, plus find 2 cot mattresses to pile on top. Plus the roll out cots were bad. The cot in harry potter room was missing 7 springs, horribly saggy and not useable. Those cots & sofa bed mattresses need replacing. The master bedroom was wonderful and comfortable. Kitchen was beautiful and since out party had 4 real chefs it was nice to cook every meal. The Teflon pots and pans were very cut up and not anything of quality to use. Luckily I brought some cast iron. The big hit was the gorgeous lagoon pool and slide enjoyed by all. Their outdoor grill was big and that allowed up to cook for our 39 guests. Lots of porches and decks and living rooms. The teenagers slept in the theater room which had 9 reclining theater chairs. Our toddlers and young Kids liked the ball pit. The only problem I had was trying to accommodate older couples into rooms that were only bunk beds. Perfect for kids but not adults. The owners were super nice and tried to take great care of us by phone. I would probably book one of their other estates the next time.

My son wedding!
Place was great, even better then the great pictures, that are on line. We’ll be going back for sure! Every top shelve . The only thing I would like to see is a microwave in that great Landry room,would help with large groups at the out side pool kitchen. But that’s coming from a Dad the did all the cooking. Except the wedding,dinner. And local caterer was good, along with the bakery, the cakes were great (we had 2 wedding cakes). Will tell everyone I know!

Great Family Reunion at Ever After
We had a reunion of 37 people and the place was close to perfect for our function! The fantasy themes were eye openers for everyone ! So much entertainment for just about everybody young and old; active or otherwise. The booking process was stream lined and trouble free. Everything were kept clean and functional. Landscapes neatly trimmed. There were minor service problems; but were addressed promptly. All in all, everything was close to our expectation. It's a great place highly recommended for family gatherings especially with kids.
