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.

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 for Disney!

The location of this stay was fantastic for my family’s Disney trip! The setup was great for the family to each have their own little spaces and room to wind down after a long day at the parks. Good location to stores and restaurants too. The yard is well fenced in and made a perfect place for us to bring our dogs along with us. I recommend this stay and will look for this on any future trips to the area!

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.

Nice house in a nice neighborhood

Just three of us were here but it was great and felt spacious. The beds were not comfortable in our opinion but the yard and pool almost make up for it. The price was also great so I for sure would recommend this property to others.

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.

Second stay here

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: Check in was easy and earlier than expected.Overall house was clean but hair balls in the corners of the rooms.Location is close to parks and restaurants.Air conditioner and a fully functional pool is most important to us. Please...A pool skimmer is NEEDED on site. In 11 days the pool guy only came once and barely skimmed the top and ignored the bottom.The house is older along with the furnishings, after all it is a rental. If I was staying a month or more than perhaps modern furniture/conveniences may be important,however the house is functional.This is our second time renting here for us and our pets.We did have some issues at the house which got addressed, I'm sure they'll be taken care of by the time of our third stay.

Disney Vacation 2024

House was clean and location was overall good. House however needs updated furniture. The beds were the worst we have ever slept on!! We loved the fenced in yard for our pets however you at least need to replace the broken pooper scooper and the mop that you have there to clean up after them. I would recommend and stay again myself if updates are done only!

Not quite!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: How was advertised as 9 minutes from Disney World first of all the fastest I got from Disney to the house was 40 minutes!!! It’s only a few miles away, but the traffic is unbelievable! There was a lot of mold coming out of the A\C vents! & the mattresses were so uncomfortable, especially in the master was hard and dented in felt like you were sleeping in an angle. I had to find another bedroom to sleep in.! The whole house had a light smell of what I would describe as a foot odor! There was minimal toilet paper, paper towels, and only one bag was allotted for the garbage which we had to go buy our own toilet paper and trash bags! It was not cheap to stay here. I expected a lot more.!! we had a dog and it was dog friendly. That would be the only reason I would stay here!

Nice house but needs some love

The house was clean but the sofas and interior is old and worn out. There were weeds growing between the pavers out back and the bed sheets had significant balls and wear to the point we laid on top of the bed spreads with a cover. The mattresses need to be replaced as the have a dip in the large to beds. For the price I was expecting more! If you don’t care about the creature comforts and only want to be in close proximity to both DisneyWorld, Universal and other attractions it has great proximity.

Enjoyable property!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would most likely stay again. The Property Management company is extremely responsive and the rules are reasonable. The location was about 15 minutes from the Orange County Convention Center, even in traffic. Two things to note: I found the property could have been better stocked for a rental. They supply you with one roll of paper towels, one garbage bag, one roll of TP per bathroom, and you have to buy everything else. Even though there were only two of us, we needed additional supplies. The only other downside was the master bed. It is an extremely firm mattress- to the point that as a side sleeper, it caused me lower back pain. For those with dogs - the fence is extremely secure and high. The backyard is on a downward slant, so our dog did not love the backyard. There is a doggie door to outside, but our 21" dog was too tall for it. It is really meant for small dogs. I saw other reviews taking about the sofa needing to be replaced because of age, but I didn't notice any issues with it. It was comfortable and that's what matters. The house is tastefully decorated, the neighborhood is very quiet, and is as advertised. We really enjoyed our stay here and it served our needs.

Great Location, Space, and Dog-Friendly!

The house was perfect for our needs! Being able to take our dogs with us was essential for our Disney trip. The house was definitely dog friendly. The yard was perfect, the fence was dog-proof, and there is even a little doggie door from the patio to the yard. The house was a great size with plenty of rooms and beds. We loved the garage game room. It was chilly for the pool, but there is an option for heating. The house is about 15 minutes from the Disney parks and near lots of food and shopping, but in a great neighborhood. The only issues were that the floor was dirty when we arrived. It had not been cleaned well at all and I had to sweep every room that night. The couch was also dirty and either needs to be deep cleaned or replaced. You can definitely tell it is dog-friendly, so some extra cleaning is necessary to get rid of the dog smell and look. Be aware that we could only find 3 blankets in the whole house for 6 beds. Every bed had sheets, but no blankets, so that was something we hadn't prepared for during our stay. Overall, we would come back for sure. Just a little extra cleaning would be nice.
