Wonderful accommodations!
Was in town for an annual cheer comp! Condo was beautiful! Very well kept and very clean! Had everything that we needed! Good communication with the host as they always answered right away.

Pool was wonderful/ bar staff was great, and food was good at the pool! Hope to stay there again next year!

Great location
The reservation and check in process was super easy. Property reps were quick to respond about location and pool access questions. Condo interior was very clean. We had one issue of a washcloth that had a red stain on it. Location is amazing. Walking distance to the shopping center just outside the property with a small restaurant, grocery store and Dunkin Donuts.
I do feel that for the cost, owners could provide a little moreโฆthe provided toiletries(tiny hand soap and shampoo) are smaller than in a hotel. Perhaps offer actual hand soap in the bathrooms, water bottles in the frig and some basic spices for cooking. All in all a great stay and would recommend to anyone.

Great space, great resort area, great location
Very well decorated and relaxing, this tucked away location provides access to all things Orlando with ease. The space is large enough to have personal space and a relaxing nights sleep away from quests with each room being a hallway walk away from one another. Kitchen space was large enough to host some guests who are also visiting and the dining, living room area was quite comfortable. Would absolutely stay again.

Wonderful condo, Amazing location!
Booked for sports event at convention center which was so close you can walk to it - so convenient! Amazing value - would have had to book at least 2 hotels rooms to accommodate same number of people. Got right in the condo when we arrived - even let us in a little early! Beautiful inside and so well furnished and clean! Beds were comfortable (it was previously mentioned that king bed is very firm which is still the case). Great facilities which we took full advantage of - two pools one is only a couple of minutes walk, a workout room and a pool bar. Such an absolutely wonderful stay - didn't want to leave.

Okay stay
The property was as expected from VRBO listing. It was clean and a good location away from the hustle and bustle of Orlando. Everyone slept comfortable except for me in the master bedroom. The bed was very hard and very uncomfortable. It made my back hurt for weeks after. I woke up sore every morning. I had to sleep on pillows on top of the mattress but didnโt help much. The mattress was terrible. Other than the one hard mattress they stay was good.

Quick Sunshine Getaway
This property was exactly as pictured and very clean. The beds were comfortable as was the rest of the furniture. The balcony was perfect for the two of us but it would be small if your party was larger. The amenities are great and the grounds were very well kept. There is a two mile loop for walking which we used every day. The Publix grocery store is right beside the resort so you can walk. The property manager was pleasant and professional. We would stay here again for sure! We really enjoyed our vacation.

Away from all the traffic. Can easily jump on several major routes depending on where you are headed. If traffic is bad one way, you can choose other routes to get you where you need to on time. Great parking - easy in and out. Can walk to grocery store or drive....Also eating places within walking distance. I was there on business so I didn't explore the amenities offered at the property.
