About this property

Pet-friendly, King bed, heatable private pool, games room, 3 miles to Disney.

This Excellent Vacation Home is of the Excellent Deluxe category. The villa is situated on Santee Drive in the Indian Creek sub-division, Kissimmee, just off exit 64 of the Interstate 4 (I4) and SR429. It is therefore only minutes to the Walt Disney World (only 3 miles), Universal Studios and Sea World theme parks, plus some of the world’s best golf courses. This villa offers free high-speed internet (cable and Wi-Fi) plus free local and long-distance calling within the United States and Canada.

The villa has many extras to make your stay very enjoyable. It has been furnished to a very good standard. The great floor plan places the family room right in the middle of the kitchen, 4 bedrooms, game room and the pool area.

Upon entering the villa, on the left hand side, you will find the game room with Pool Table and Ping Pong. Facing this game room you will find the first bathroom with vanity, shower tub and toilet. To the right is the first bedroom with Queen Bed, cable TV and closet. To the left you will find another bedroom, this one with 2 Single Beds, cable TV and closet.

Walking straight ahead, you will find the large family room with sleeper sofa and plenty of seating space. It has a large flat screen TV with digital cable and DVD player. On the left you find another bedroom with 2 Single Beds, cable TV and closet. It has a bathroom right next to it with vanity, shower tub and toilet.

Last but not least, on the other side of the family room, there is the Master bedroom with King bed (new for 2025), cable TV and en suite bathroom with dual vanity, bath tub, walk-in shower and separate toilet plus direct pool access. Direct pool access is a very convenient feature; step right from the pool deck into your bathroom for a quick shower after that refreshing swim.

The open, well fitted kitchen with a breakfast table (4 seats) is in the rear on the left. The kitchen includes a full size oven, built-in microwave, large fridge-freezer with ice-maker, waste disposal unit and dishwasher. There is also a full range of electrical appliances and utensils – everything you could want in your home away from home.

The inviting pool is accessible from the family room, through sliding patio doors. The whole pool area is screened in to keep the bugs out. Pool deck chairs and sun loungers allow for late night, pool side relaxing. The pool safety fence helps protect our youngest guests, together with the alarms installed on all doors leading to the pool deck. The pool can be heated, at an extra cost. As this property is Pet Friendly, there is even a doggy door leading to the area outside the pool deck.

Near the game room there is a laundry room with washing machine and dryer. Iron and iron board are present too.

This house was wonderful for our family and pets. We finally could go on vacation and not worry about our fur babies. We had fun at the parks and came home to a great house to relax in and swim. Very spacious. and quiet. Loved sitting around the pool relaxing. Any questions or concerns were addressed immediately. Great location, private and just a wonderful place to getaway. Our pups had a fenced in yard to play in as well. We didn’t want to leave….and we will be coming back to this property for sure soon. Thank you for the great memories of a family vacation!!

This was the perfect home for our family vacation! Very few pool homes have a child safety fence. This feature allowed us to enjoy the pool and feel safer with our grandchildren. The property is in great shape with the expected wear and tear for the age. The house was completely clean and the pool was sparkling. They provide a ton of towels which was great. It is spacious and allowed us all to have room to be comfortable. I would highly recommend this property!

Great Location

Enjoyed staying here. This house is very clean for a dog friendly VRBO. No smell like some of the others we have rented. It is in a very good location and very clean area. There are a few things that could use updating but overall a great house. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Wonderful Get Away

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home nestled in a quiet Florida neighborhood. The house was spacious and easily accommodated our entire family. One of the highlights was the backyard—perfectly suited for our dogs to run and play, and the pool was pristine and clearly very well maintained.We especially appreciated how dog-friendly the area was. We enjoyed daily walks through the neighborhood and were met with friendly faces along the way. It was incredibly peaceful—no loud parties, just the relaxing, tranquil escape we were hoping for.The property management was also top-notch—responsive, helpful, and made sure everything went smoothly throughout our stay.We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a quiet, pet-friendly retreat with all the comforts of home.Short trip to Disney, could see the fireworks from the patio. But far enough away to be peaceful.

Great Location-But....

Overall good property.. House is getting a little tired. Some of the furnishings (mattresses) and outdoor furniture really needs to be replaced.. Pool was great and maintained well. Not so much the yard. Never got mowed and we were unable to use the backyard at all.

Fantastic location

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful two weeks in this lovely villa, and yes going with other reviews the pool and some areas inside could perhaps do with a deeper clean once in a while if the time allows between bookings, but this is just as you do in your home, give a spring clean now and again. Overall this was a lovely villa a home from home and in fact the fridge, cooker and microwave were spotlessly clean on our arrival, I have no complaints at all.

Our stay was okay. Could have been way better.

Our stay was okay. Could have been way better if the following was there. 1. The bed mattresses are too old and lumpy. They should be replaced. 2. The Kitchen stove was extremely hard to use. It would stop in the middle. It needs to be fixed or replaced. 3. The essentials such as Shampoos, etc. in the bathrooms were not there, but luckily it extremely close to Walmart and that helped a lot. If they fix the above 3, it would be a great property to stay.

Indian Creek Rental

We enjoyed our stay. the house was comfortable with plenty of room, in a nice neighborhood setting. The management company was great to work with and we had a couple of light bulbs out and some holes in the screen door and they sent someone out to repair things very quickly. We enjoyed the location near shopping and restaurants. The Pool was attended to by a pool company and was vacuumed and checked ph of water and added chemicals. The heater is a must and it works great heating the water to a nice temp of 88 degrees, making it possible for us to swim every day. We could suggest some better cooking utensils and some of the towels needed to be replaced but certainly did not ruin our stay here, as well as the Mr coffee machine has seen its better days, the cover was always falling off when you went to pour the coffee but we made do with that. Having a fenced in back yard was great for our dog as well. We would like to come back again and use this property next year hopefully we will have great weather like we did this year. Thanks again to Rem and Andreina for being so attentive to our needs while at this location, making our vacation a great one

The house is big and roomy. It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood close to Publix, Walmart, restaurants and most of all the Disney Theme Parks. For those bringing pets it has a nice big fence yard. The house could sure use new pots and pans and sofa set should get replace because they are wore out. I will come back next year to this house. You even can see the fireworks from Disney outside in the yard. Also, Rembert was great answering all questions I had from the beginning to end.

Santee Drive Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was a very pleasant stay. We loved the location and the area was quiet for the most part. Voiced a few concerns to the property owner and they were quick to follow up with us. Only recommendations would be to enforce previous guests to clean up after their dogs in the backyard, or charge more to hire an additional cleaner for this.Last recommendation would be to update the mattresses and bed frames in the non-master guest bedrooms. The house was beautiful, the dogs had plenty of room to run around, and it felt like a very safe area. We would love to come stay again!!

Overall this was a fantastic and easy stay! Only thing I’d suggest is new knives and kitchen utensils to make cooking on site easier. Knives couldn’t cut veggies and the lack of kitchen materials was mind strengthening. But property is very well managed, neighborhood safe, lovely yard. Would/will definitely stay here again. Customer service was top notch.

Amazing property close to Disney

We have been visiting Disney at least once a year for 36 years and have never stayed off property until this trip and it was amazing. Even my kids (14 and 9) said they would rather stay at this house every time!! We will definitely be back. Property was clean, convenient to everything and we had more than enough room!!!
