Traveler's Review

We got what we were promised !, Feb 17, 2020

By Hubert J. Timmer,

The three house we rented fit our family needs perfectly. The location was perfect. It was close to the attractions we wanted to see. The houses were in a quiet neighborhood. The best part was the quickness with which Ann answered all my email messages. She was prompt and always gave the information I needed. The houses were easily entered after we received the code.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Easy process from check in to check out. Great game room. Pool area and hot tub was wonderful. Heat in pool and hot tub excellent. Open view from pool to green space behind house is nice.

The house is exactly as pictured and described! It is in a very nice neighborhood with lots of nearby food and shopping. Another perk is its not to far from the parks! There is a Walmart nearby so we cooked breakfast at the house before heading to the parks each day. Ann and Gary were amazing answering any questions and concerns we had. We didnt have any issues and Everyone in our party was pleased with the home and amount of space we had. It was just enough space for everyone to be together or have their own space if they wanted. The kids and adults loved the pool. And the spa was an added bonus. We paid for pool heating and the water was perfect. We would definitely stay here again when in Florida! Thanks Ann & Gary!

My friends & I arrived at Ann’s home for a week’s stay looking forward to golfing everyday. We entered to find everything in order and clean. The only issue we found the next morning was a toaster that didn’t work, which was replaced with a new one before the next morning. The area has everything you need; from shopping, drug stores, restaurants, and dozens of golf courses within 45 minutes. I would stay at Ann’s home again if we decide to return to Orlando next year. Thanks Ann

My family & I stayed in this amazing house & the service was good. We had no issues and everything was set up nicely to make payments convenient & easy. The hood vent stopped working & they came out to check in within a reasonable timeframe. It was pretty affordable, convenient and the owner was very accommodating. Highly recommended!

I must say this was a very nice house. It was very clean and easy to access. The owners Amy and Gary are very nice and they even remembered that we had rented from them a couple of years ago. The house is located in a great area and very convenient to all activities and restaurants. We will gladly rent from them again. Thanks for allowing our family vacation to be very successful.

We loved the house - very clean! Our family of 6 was dwarfed by the size of this house and we had several bedrooms that went completely unoccupied, which is a nice change from the typical cramped quarters you sometimes experience on vacation. The gameroom is very well equipped, even though we didn't use it very much (too tired from the parks), and the pool was a wonderful way to end the evening. We had some very minor issues (bed frame fix and smoke detector battery) which the property management company dealt with immediately. One of the ways I evaluate most things is how quickly people respond when you have an issue - this operation is 5 stars! We will be back =)

We were very pleased with our stay, we stayed almost an entire week, the house was fully stocked with everything that we needed, the rooms were decorated perfectly, everything was immaculate, we will definitely be recommending this to our friends and staying again next year. Ann was more than accommodating, it was a very pleasant experience. Can’t wait till next vacation.

The house is exactly as shown in the pictures but even better in person. It’s very spacious and each room has its own personal bathroom. We were a family of 15 and we would stay here again. So much to do on the premises, soccer, tennis, beach volleyball, and the water park was lots of fun. We were all very satisfied and had a great time. Thank you Ann and Gary!!

Iris Mangones Date of arrival - July 12, 2019

This home was perfect for our large family. We had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and also gather togerher. We appreciated the quick and easy drive to Disney. Ann was great getting back with quick email responses. Looking forward to renting a different home from the same owners in December.

Jessica Reiber Date of arrival - June 18, 2019

We took our family to Disney and stayed at this very nice home. It is just a few miles away from all the parks and very convenient to stores and restaurants too. The house is huge and would have accommodated two of our families. We really had a great time and enjoyed this nice, comfortable home and especially the private patio/pool/spa. Easy to work with owners too. Thanks Ann & Gary!

Kristi Lang Date of arrival - June 15, 2019

I have rented from Ann and Gary twice now and both times it was excellent. The houses were super nice and everything was a smooth process. I definitely recommend booking with them.

Angela Sheperd Date of arrival - June 18, 2019

We had a great time at Ann and Gary's house! The accommodations were perfect for our family trip. And, the pool was very welcome relief after a day sweating it out at the Disney parks! We did not have any issues, so we had no reason to contact the property manager (not sure why VRBO makes you give a rating "Communication with property manager"). But, communication with Ann and Gary went very well. Checking in and checking out were no problem at all. We definitely would stay here again - thanks for a great time!

Charles Morse Date of arrival - June 21, 2019

This home is simply perfect! The location is great, close to all Disney parks and Universal. The water park located on the property was wonderful. Everyone working at the park were very kind and gracious. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, plenty of space for everyone. The pool at the house was great. Truly, we enjoyed this beautiful home. We will return again and again. Thank you Ann and Gary, we had a wonderful time.

This property was absolutely perfect and exactly what we needed. It comfortably slept 15 people. New flooring was wonderful. The pool was the star of the show! We had several small issues that the management company resolved quickly, It’s very close to Publix, Wal-Mart, fast food and of course all the parks. We will definitely stay at this location again.

Sean Franklin Date of arrival - May 29, 2019

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were traveling with extended family and the size and layout of the house was perfect. A couple minor cosmetic issues (screen surrounding the pool was ripped, a loose cabinet door in one of bathroom vanities) that were reported to the property management right away and he responded promptly. Pool and spa were very nice, and no issues with the functionality of the spa which was an issue we had run into in the past at other properties. All in all it was a very nice home and we would definitely go back if we were to return to the area.

Kelly Leclerc Arrival date: Mon, May 13, 2019

My family as well as extended family had the opportunity to stay at Ann and Gary’s in Clermont. The house was absolutely great! It held 20 people without a problem. The game room and swimming pool were a hit with the teenagers as well as the adults. We stayed comfortably for a week. We had one minor issue in which we contacted the property manager and he came out to fix the next day. The location of the property is just perfect. A short drive to many restaurants and stores. We found the “back road” and didn’t even have to get in the Main Street most of the time. Ann has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I go to Florida each year and will definitely be reaching out to her every year going forward!

Michelle Jones Date of arrival - May 14, 2019

Had a great time with my entire family celebrating my 50th. Great layout of the house so everyone had privacy but also fantastic gathering space in the kitchen/living room/dining room. The pool was enjoyed daily by young and old alike. The only downside was for such a large house there was only 3 poolside loungers and 8 outside dining chairs with 2 tables. The kitchen was well appointed although a few more larger stock pots would be an added bonus for the larger meals that we cooked. The 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers were a blessing along with a very large pantry area which worked great for our large group. We had to call the property management company for a few small things and they responded very quickly and solved the issues we had. The entire resort is managed well and anything we needed was attended to quickly. We had some noisy late night party neighbors who were spoken to by security and the situation was resolved quickly and professionally. We would highly recommend this property for family gatherings as the home and the resort were great. The free shuttle to the parks were used and that was very convenient. Also the concierge service (Justin) proved to be very helpful!

Kara Graham Date of arrival - May 18, 2019

This property is beautiful and spacious! It fit my family of 8 adults and 2 children great and we still had extra room! Very close to lots of stores and things to do! Be sure to add pool heat that’s the only thing i didn’t do but that’s not the host fault! Will definitely book again/ recommend!

We will definitely be back

We just left the house and we miss it already...what an awesome time we had. We were 14 and we were so comfortable. It’s a great place, very well maintained, well managed and we are grateful that we were able to have the days we had there....great memories...I highly recommend it to anyone traveling with a group. Property owner Ann was very helpful. Also I had a question and property manager Ken was quick to answer.

Outstanding home and resort!

This home is in an awesome gated community vacation home resort with a gym, large pool, and waterpark. It is just minutes away from all the action, but allows you to escape to a non-tourist/non-crowded area.

The home is brand new and spotless! It has the most amount of bed and bathrooms that we have ever seen. This was perfect for a large family trip where everyone can have their privacy, yet enjoy gathering in the spacious kitchen, dining room, living room, yard, or house pool/whirlpool. The home is beautifully decorated and all the furniture is super comfortable! The kitchen is fully equipped, and even had two refrigerators!!! The owners (Ann & Gary) were easy to communicate with for the booking, but have a local management company to provide you any help you need 24/7, so no need to worry. The yard is meticulously manicured and the back is fenced. This particular house is a corner lot and has plenty of yard separating it from the neighbors. There is a two car garage, plenty of parking in the large driveway, street curb parking, and the community overflow parking is just a couple of blocks away should you need that too. The community pool, waterpark, gym, clubhouse, and restaurant are also just a couple of blocks away, easily within walking distance. There is 24/7 security in the resort community. The home has fire safety and most importantly several pool safety features. Thank you! Great stay!

We would recommend Florida Rentals. The property met all expectations. The property manager was very good. All queries and little maintenance issues were attended efficiently.

This is a beautiful home in a quiet residential neighborhood. We are a group of eight retired men, down for a week of golf, but this house would be great for a family. The house had been freshly painted and had new flooring installed since our last visit. It is immaculately kept and updated. We have already reserved it for next year.

We rented this beautiful home for our family vacation to Disney. We had 8 adults and 10 children ages 15 - 2. The layout of the home was perfect. We never felt crowded or tight on space. The home is located a block from the club house and community pool. The house was spotless when we arrived. Plenty of sleeping space and linens. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, silverware, and pots & pans. It would have been nice to have a few more large mixing/ serving dishes for kitchen but we got by with the 2 that were there. We paid extra to have the pool and hot tub heated and it was so worth it. The kids loved the pool at the house rather then the very nice community one. Us adults loved our nightly hot tub time after a day at the Disney Parks. This was a Christmas gift to family that was in the planning for a year. We had so much fun and made such great memories. Having a wonderful place to stay without any issues made it all the more perfect. Thank you Ann & Gary for sharing your home with us and having it be such a positive experience for our family!!

This was our second time staying in Ann & Garys house. Last year was great !!! This year was even better with the addition of new wood flooring and a total repainting. The pool and hot tub worked flawlessly. The addition of new quality carpeting on the stairs was a nice touch for the old feet going up and down the stairs :) Property manager Norman & Allison were terrific. We look forward to staying in the house next year for our annual golf getaway

We had a wonderful time. There was plenty of room for our group of 12. The home is located in a great location for shopping, food and Disney attractions. Ann was amazing to deal with. I asked her several questions and she responded in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend this home. Thanks to Ann for renting her home to our family and making our first experience a pleasant one. Hope to come back soon.....😀

Great for family, kids, friends, everyone!

Ann was a great communicator throughout the booking, checking in, stay and post-stay experience. Couldn’t have been more prompt or professional :)

We had a family of 8 and had SO much room. Our boys enjoyed the game room and we enjoyed sitting in the closed in area out by the pool. The pool and hot tub looked amazing though we didn’t stop long enough to get in. Everything was very clean and the new hardwood floors and carpet made it even nicer than the pictures!

Thanks, Ann! We hope to come back!

This property was perfect and the amenities were fantastic. Great location as well. The renter Ann was great and worked with my family to allow earlier check in. She is always prompt to respond to emails making this an all around awesome experience. I would highly recommend renting one of the many villas that Ann oversee.. you will not be disappointed. As a family we have decided to use her every year for our Orlando outing.. truly a 5 star experience

This home has a great location just minutes away from grocery stores and restaurants ,close to Disneys parks as well and is placed in a beautiful gated community . Our large family was very comfortable in this home as it has ample space for several families . Communication with owner is 10 out of 10 and that is one of the most important reasons to rent this home , if you have questions or concerns they are quick to respond . Thanks for the wonderful stay !

Comfortable beds, that’s always important. Lots of rooms. Good location if you’re going to visit the Disney parks. Neighborhood is clean and new. Ann was great. Also if you ever have any questions, like WiFi password etc, there was a # to call with any questions and they always answered and were pleasant. You may need to bring extra paper towels and toilet paper if you’re planning on staying more than a few days. Driveway had plenty of room for 3-4 vehicles plus the garage is empty so you could fit another car or two in there. Read the instructions before opening the back sliding glass door, as there are safety measures in place with a high pitch noise. But easy to work once you read the instructions. Make sure to use the guard gate address first as the house address will bring you to a side owners gate and you can’t get in there. Once inside the community then use the house address. Publix and gas stations close 5-7 min away. Hope this helps. Great stay with the family!

This house was just what my family and I needed for our Christmas vacation. Ann was very good with communication with me throughout the time leading up to our check in date. We came the week before Christmas and loved every minute of it. The house was amazing! With 11 people including a toddler we had more than enough space . The location was close to a lot of restaraunts ( we went to Bahama breeze, Olive Garden, Joe’s Crab Shack,and few others ), as well as local stores like Walmart, target, Ross, etc. We were only about 25 mins from Universal Studios which worked out perfect due to that being where we spent 2 of our days. We also did Ifly ( indoor skydiving) which our son loved..

The upstairs living room/game area and kitchen is where we spent most of our time when at the house. Every room and bathroom was clean and spotless when we arrived. Due to weather we only got to swim one day but we loved the pool. The safety fence around it was so appreciated due to the toddler. The washer and dryer made packing for home much better. I could go on and on but I’m so happy we chose this house for our family vacation!

My family and I , found this property in Orlando to stay for a couple of days during our vacation. The house itself couldn't be more suited for us: we were able to comfortably accommodate everyone (mind you, we were 12 including 1 senior), the rooms had plenty of space.Also there were entertainment options such as a pool table, cable TV, pool, barbecue, and a videogame included. In short, couldn't be happier with our choice to stay here!

Very nice place and ideally located next to everything you will need like groceries and shopping. Even though we did not go to disney it was very close by. This our second time staying at Ann and Gary's, in two different homes and we will surely do it again.

This was the 2nd year my family and I rented this home for our vacation stay. We absolutely love it! It's so clean and spacious. It has everything you need for the perfect family vacation. It's right near all the Disney parks and other fun spots to take the kids. The club house area was great for a low key day to rest and sit by the pool. There are plenty of food stores, restaurants and gift shops minutes away.

We felt like we were at home here. Looking forward to booking again!

We enjoyed our stay in your home. It's a great gated community with all the amenities close. The club house and surroundings are beautiful. We stayed in Paradise Palms in 2011 and the community has grown. The house was beautiful and spacious. We had a wonderful vacation. We would recommend this property and look forward to visiting again next year!
