We spent 2 ½ months in the unit, greatly enjoying our entire stay. We likely will return in the future.
The resort is large, is maintained immaculately, and has great security. The clubhouse area is stunning and contains many activities, including a children's play area. The quality of the resort was evident by the many repeat renters we met that spoke glowingly about the resort.
It is located a short drive from Disney, restaurants, and shopping. The beautiful Shingles Creek Regional Park (great bike path and kayaking) is just a couple miles away and can be reached by bike.
The layout and size of the unit is both comfortable and inviting, especially for a lengthy stay. The furniture/beds are functional and comfortable. The kitchen is nice and is well appointed. The dining area and table can comfortably seat 6. The washer, dryer, and dishwasher work well. The cable service is excellent, and the Internet speeds are acceptable, even for streaming.
The patio area is comfortable. Importantly it has a southern exposure, which provides great morning and afternoon sun, should you wish to sunbathe in your backyard. There is no hot tub on the patio, which is no issue because the clubhouse has a great hot tub and, like many rentals in this and other resorts, there typically is an upcharge for an individual unit's hot tub and pool use.
The heater for the clubhouse pool was not functional during our stay. Our understanding is that it has always otherwise worked and will be replaced in the fall, changing from an electric to gas heater. Regardless, we greatly enjoyed the clubhouse pool. However, if you plan to stay in late summer/fall of 2022, and if pool use is a priority to you, I suggest you investigate when the pool may be closed.
Fernando was extremely responsive and attentive, despite us not having any issues. The check-in and check-out processes were great. Besides contacting Fernando, the clubhouse is staffed for most of the day and security is available 24/7 if an issue arises.
Just a couple nit-picky, insignificant comments. Like most rentals, the unit could use a little TLC. Nothing that prevents your full enjoyment and comfort. It would be great if there were more towels and washcloths (both bath and kitchen) available, especially for a lengthy stay, or those with a larger party. Also, some worn cookware should be replaced. Again, the unit and resort are great, and we would gladly stay again.
