Stay for Free? Contact Us for Details! 6 Miles to Disney+Heated & Secluded Pool

Privately owned pool home; less than 6 miles to Animal Kingdom Lodge & Park in Disney World (Beware of claims in minutes, because if they don't give miles/km then they are much further out than they want you to believe, hence, the minutes claim!); Secluded & not overlooked heated pool with sheltered lanai, conservation overlook, & child-friendly home.

--------

Some of the finer points in our rental agreement. The more you know & understand the happier we will all be ;-)

[Rental Agreement]
You must agree to our rental agreement and comply with the terms. Renters failing to comply may be asked to vacate the property and are expected to do so immediately upon request, forfeiting all money paid.

[NO Smoking]
No Smoking of any kind including tobacco and vapor products. For the safety and comfort of both present and future renters, bookings will only be accepted if it is agreed that there will be no smoking of any kind in the home or on the pool deck or in the garage. No exceptions will be made. Guests found to have smoked in the home will be charged an additional $500 to deep clean the home. Smoking is allowed on the front patio with the doors to the home closed. Smoking is also allowed outside the screened-in pool deck on the grassy hill as one walks toward the conservation area. All cigarette butts must be picked up and disposed of properly and not left on the property.

[Accommodation]
This property is fully licensed for short-term rental in Florida. Everyone occupying the property must be listed on this Rental Agreement including small children. This is Florida state law and must be adhered to. The accommodation cannot be shared, assigned or sub-let and only the persons shown on this Rental Agreement are permitted to stay in the property. No pets are permitted. Persons under 21 years of age are not acceptable unless accompanied by parents or at least one responsible adult of at least 21 years of age who has signed this Rental Agreement as the renter. The Owners or owner’s Management Company reserves the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not met. 8 people, maximum, regardless of age are allowed to be in the home. Sleeping arrangements are for 2 people in each of 4 bedrooms. No one is allowed in the home or on the property that is not listed on the rental agreement. No gatherings of any kind are allowed in the house or on the property. You will be evicted if you violate this condition.

[Computer and Internet]
A computer and internet connection is provided for guests' use. Please note that this service is provided free to guests. The owners will use their best endeavors to ensure that the service is available for use, but cannot be held responsible for any failures, or non-availability, of communication lines, hardware, or software. Technical support is not provided by the management company under any circumstances. Malfunction of any computer equipment or network is not grounds for a refund.

[Pool Heat]
In the event that weather conditions fall below 50° Fahrenheit, the pool’s heat pump used for heating may automatically shut off to prevent damage to the unit. We find it unreasonable to expect that the pool’s heat pump will maintain a comfortable swimming temperature while the outside ambient temperature is below 50 (fifty) degrees Fahrenheit. In colder seasons, the renter agrees to cover the pool each night with the pool blanket so as to conserve pool heat (if the blanket is on the deck and still being used)

[Insurance]
We expect that all members of your party be covered by travel insurance which carries adequate protection against delays and cancellations and has adequate medical insurance for the USA and for your luggage and personal belongings. This you will need to arrange and purchase for yourselves through a reputable insurance company. In the unlikely event of a burglary, you must have adequate insurance to cover your personal belongings. Our insurance only covers our home and our contents. We strongly recommend that you take out Trip Insurance Coverage to protect against cancellation. Cancellation for most reasons beyond your control will be covered by your travel insurance. Cancellation due to financial reasons or simply 'no longer wishing travel' is usually not covered.

[Liability]
The owners, owner’s Management Company or its contractors, accept no responsibility whatsoever for death, personal injury, accidents, loss or damage to persons or personal belongings however caused. The use of accommodations, all equipment provided and all amenities, including the pool, is used entirely at the renter’s own risk. You use the pool and the pool deck at your own risk. Glass is not permitted within the pool area. Children must be supervised at all times, by responsible adults, particularly when using the swimming pool or while on the swimming pool deck. Smoking is not permitted while inside the home at any time. The Owners, owner’s Management Company or its contractors, cannot accept any liability for any loss of rental time due to travel problems, flight delays or cancellations, industrial disputes, failure of any equipment within the villa/home, or any events which are outside our control, including any Force Majeure.

[Issues of Concern & Reviews in the Public Domain & the VRBO website]
A 5-star review is critical for owners & renters. Negative reviews and anything less than a 5 Star review denigrates the renter & impacts the owner financially. We both agree to leave only a 5 Star review for the other in the public domain & the VRBO website or leave no review at all. We agree to resolve issues between ourselves and not to air them publicly or in any online posting.

[Advertising & Marketing]
All info is provided in good faith but no liability will be accepted in the event of errors.

Very close to the Disney Parks and when you get back home you can jump in the pool for a swim.

Everything was great, the owner replied to all my questions in very fast manner. He is very polite and very helpful.

Perfect Disney area pool home!

We chose this house for a fun mini getaway for our kiddos over the summer (we live just a few hours away). Our kids love to swim but we don’t have a pool, so we came to stay for a few days so they could have their own “pool house”! It was PERFECT! The house is spacious and clean, the master bed and bath is huge, and the pool and pool deck are a great size! We didn’t visit any parks during our stay, but if we had this would’ve been a great place to come home too. Check in and check out were a breeze as well. It is very clear that Arnie truly cares about his guests’ comfort, safety, and enjoyment. Instructions are very clear and personable. If we ever want to do another “pool house” getaway, we would not hesitate to return! This is a winner for sure.

Actually close to magic kingdom

Clean house with ample room for 5 adults and 3 kids. Heated pool for still a bit chilly April (Kids loved it and moms also) Old school key box and door lock so easy entry-exit. Close to outlet stores, Walmart and Publix as well as Disney World. Master bed is plush as a Hilton bed. I slept excellent. Caution when stepping into the master bath shower. It’s deceptively deeper than entry floor level. So it’s easy to misstep and slip. WiFi was Xfinity strong so multiple devices streaming and gaming...no problem. It’s a nice home for the price point and location. And home owner Arnie is reasonable along with accommodating to us as first time house renters.

Clean, well organized and stocked.

Loved the house! It’s close proximity to Disneyworld. This owner anticipated our every need from games for the children to a well stocked pantry. We did have a problem on day 4 of our stay where the city block lost power for a few hours, early in the morning. We went to the magic kingdom that gay and upon returning, found the house temperature to be 84 degrees. I checked the thermostat and it was calling for 84 degree temperature. I was able to manually turn down the temperature to 72. And we went to sleep. The next morning upon getting ready for the day, could tell the temperature was to high. At this point, I sent Arnie a email explains what was happening. I had barely sent off the message when Arnie was calling. He advised that the back up batteries in the thermostat had failed to maintain its set points, and he reprogrammed the thermostat and we experienced no further problems. Being a fellow vacation rental owner VRBO # 118848, I can understand how problems arise, and what really impressed me is how quickly Arnie took care of the situation. If we find ourselves back in Kissimmee, we will definitely stay again.

A Wonderful Place to Stay

My family and I feel very fortunate to have found this great house to stay in for our trip to Disney World. It met our every need, and did so at a very good price - approximately what we would have paid for the cheapest hotel rooms at the Disney resorts. There were five adults (my wife and I and three children), so the four bedrooms and two baths were a great help. The private pool was great, and very secluded from other houses. The house itself was nicely furnished, had everything a family could possibly need (including supplies and entertainment), and was very clean. In addition, it was in a quiet neighborhood and only a 15-20 minute ride to all the Disney attractions. We would highly recommend it to anyone coming to the Orlando area.

Great rental for our Spring Break

My family of 6 enjoyed 6 nights in this rental for spring break. Upon entering I noticed the newer floors. I wished they would have carried through the bedrooms instead of carpet. The master bed I thought could have been softer. The rental was clean. Arnie and the management team were amazing to work with before and during our stay. We have rented before in the area and it did not compare. Arnie was on top of things and very informative about procedures and what was included in the house. The pool deck was spacious and had lots of chairs which we loved. The house was great and was plenty of room for our family of 6.

My kids and I had a great time at this well-appointed home! It was both spacious and cozy at the same time, and provided us with the ideal, relaxing vacation that we were looking for. The heated pool was great, as the kids were in there every day, for hours at a time! Arnie is a great host - very responsive, full of helpful information, and gracious. The location of the home was also very convenient not just to the Disney parks, but to shopping and groceries. I would definitely recommend this home to others looking to stay in the Orlando area!

Beautiful stay In Kissimmee

This spacious house met all our expectations and more. We thought there were 3 bedrooms but it had four so our two single persons in the party had their rooms to themselves. the house was very clean, fully functional and just three miles from Disney while being superbly located in a suburban neighborhood without back door neighbors. The management staff was extremely courteous and accommodating. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Wonderful family home! Exactly as advertised!

This was a fabulous Disney vacation for some of my children and all of my grandchildren. The house could not have worked better for us! We had between 7 and 9 people at all times, and found there was plenty of room for everyone. We saved so much money over the price for hotel rooms for that many, in addition to being able to cook our own breakfast, prepare a lunch to take along to the attractions, and make dinner at home a couple of times. 4 Children between the ages of 6 and 12 were delighted with the heated pool, and used it every day despite unseasonably cold weather! The house was clean and well-maintained. Well-equipped kitchen and baths -- they even provided shampoo and body wash! The owner was extremely helpful before and during our stay, answering many questions from me. I would definitely recommend this home to a family, or even several couples. It is very comfortable, and a short hop to all the Disney attractions (we visited all of them). A little further gets you to Universal Studios and SeaWorld. We really loved Disney and SeaWorld. Universal -- not so much. So, if you're going to the Orlando area, you can't do better than Picadilly Paradise!

Beautiful, well-equipped home

Picadilly Paradise is a beautiful, well-equipped home that is close to Disney World as well as restaurants, grocery stores and shopping areas. The amenities and high ceilings provided a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere for my family. Picadilly Paradise was truly our home away from home. My family intends to stay at Picadilly Paradise when we return to the Kissimmee area next year for vacation. I highly recommend anyone looking for a wonderful rental home in the Disney area to stay at Picadilly Paradise.

Delightful home!

We so enjoyed spending the week at Piccadilly Paradise! Very close to the action and all the fun activities, yet so delightfully quiet and private. Such a treat to return "home" after a day in the parks to a relaxing swim in the heated pool. The home offered everything we look for in a vacation rental and then some. We will definitely return the next time we are in Orlando.

The Picadilly house is a home away from home!

I love staying in Kissimee at the Picadilly house. It has everything we need, a home away from home. We save money on food by eating in, buying groceries and using the kitchen. The pool is excellent for when you need a day off from vacation and traveling around to the different tourist attractions. The house is perfected located near everything we love about the Orlando area! We will continue to stay here for our annual Florida vacation!

Didn't want to leave!

The house offers an excellent place to relax away from the hustle-and-bustle of the theme parks. The owner is incredibly-helpful, even providing directions for a little-known shortcut to Disney, and promptly responded to any questions we had. Location, amenities, and everything about the house was exactly as advertised. The pool is a wonderful luxury that we found ourselves using every day; it backs onto a nature reserve, creating an extra level of privacy. When we were debating staying here versus on-site at Disney, the bang-for-our-buck was the deciding factor, and we’re incredibly happy we made this decision. Next time we find ourselves in the area, this property will be our top choice.

About the host

Hosted by Arnie Rothenbaum

Host profile image
A family of five, vacationing was always a problem. Most hotels had two beds so one child was left sleeping on a roll-a-way bed (don't see those anymore) or they slept three to a bed. As they grew older this wasn't going to work anymore. Then by chance we stumbled upon a vacation rental home and have never looked back. A fully equipped home with lots of bedrooms and amenities beats a hotel any day. We find that many families have no idea that you can rent a whole house as easily as a hotel, and you can rent by the night, week or month, too. We look to rent a vacation home whenever we travel. Definitely more bang for your buck!

Why they chose this property

Most of the vacation homes we looked at came up short. They were either too close to the other homes, too noisy of a location, too far from Disney World, and no view. We knew when we found this house which had everything we were looking for, that this was the one for our family. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and we're sure you will be as happy as we are when you stay in our home.

What makes this property unique

Less than 6 miles to Walt Disney World (that is our distance to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and Park - well actually it is 5.3 miles via Google maps ;-) DisneyWorld is huge so enjoy the ride to all the other parks and shopping). And so quiet on our secluded pool deck with conservation overlook, you can hear a pin drop. We really offer the best of both worlds - close to the parks and the serenity of our conservation overlook when you just want to chill. There has been a lot of noise on the internet about hidden fees on some rental homes on VRBO. Let me be clear, that is NOT happening with my rental home. You pay me only the nightly rental and the cleaning fee. And I then pay the cleaner the same amount to clean the whole house whether "1 guest stays for 1 night" or "8 guests stay for 14 days". I pay VRBO their 3% transaction fee on your credit card charge. You pay VRBO upwards of 13% for their "Guest service fee" and you pay Florida their "13.5% Tourist Tax" and I get none of that money. When guests book directly with me they don't pay cleaning for stays of 5 nights or longer and they don't pay the VRBO guest service fee.
