This is a nice place to be if you’re planning on just staying on the property. It has some nice amenities for the kids (water slide, pool, etc). However if you’re going to the theme park it’s about 45 minutes on I-4 that seemed to have really bad bottlenecks (Christmas break traffic). The property is conveniently located to a Winn-Dixie grocery and Walmart (5 min drive).
The property itself was clean and well groomed. Road noise is well masked by the water fountains on the property, but emergency service sirens are still plainly heard on occasion.
The house has decent facilities. Pots and pans were limited if you’re planning on doing much cooking. Adequate amount of plates and silverware for family of seven. There we’re just little things that keep me from rating this as a really nice place (garage door was broken when we arrived, there is no garage door opener, the front door lock would intermittently not take the code, pots and pans were in poor shape, staples like toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, weren’t provided). For the price I was expecting a little more.
Bottomline: if you’re trip is for the theme parks I’d stay closer to those activities. If you’re on a family vacation and want to stay put and enjoy the Florida weather, then this is a good option.
