We really enjoyed the stay overall! Plenty of room for our family of 13 to spread out and have space. There are just a couple of inconveniences that we had to deal with and hopefully can be remedied for future guests.
First, we followed what the welcome stay binder instructed us as far as the trash. We put it in the bin and we’re told in the binder that it would be emptied daily. Well…that was not the case, but the trash did get emptied after the 4th day. We reached out to VRBO and Jeeves service and both were really responsive in trying to get the matter corrected. With a family of 13 even going to Disney each day of our stay, the trash can pile up. =)
Secondly, lighting was an issue. The lights in the main gathering area upstairs did not work no matter what light switch we tried. However, not a big deal for us as we were gone throughout the day and crashed after Disney at night. There are no overhead lights in the bedroom on the main floor. Not sure why there was no light in the ceiling fan but the other rooms just like it had lights in the same ceiling fan/light fixture. An over head light would have been great besides just the night stand lights. However, just a minor inconvenience. There are also missing overhead lights in the ceiling fan fixtures over the back deck/patio…again, minor inconvenience.
Thirdly, before and after your shower in the bathroom off the main floor bedroom, you will be on display to the neighbors next-door. The window over the shower is high and while in the shower the neighbors cannot see you, however, the neighbors on the 2nd floor on the next-door house can see you in all your glory before you get in and after you get out of the shower stall. Also, with where the mirror is, you think you may be safe but the mirror also provides another angle for the neighbors. After showering in the dark, the first night, I figured out how to protect our privacy by putting the pool towels folder vertically in the window and thus gave us privacy to shower. It took 5 of them vertically folded to go across the window in case this is not remedied and you book this house for your stay. If you don’t mind being seen in all your glory, then you don’t need to worry about this. =)
Fourthly, the neighborhood. It was loud at times but I am not sure if it is because of year-round people or if the people renting the houses were loud. Having said that, the sound proofing in this house was pretty decent.
Fifth, the pool basketball hoop. This
