Haines City winter vacation

This is a great house to rent! The property manager and the owner are very responsive. We loved the gated community that is close to amenities and very nice for walking. We would love to come back again.

Great pool!

Safe and quiet neighborhood. Right beside US 27. We went to stay put and enjoy warm weather and a pool. We cooked in nearly every night for 5 weeks. I should’ve brought baking pans and dishes. Maintenance things that needed addressed got taken care of. We’re short and old so the manual lifting of the garage door was problematic for us, but we just started parking outside. The pool was our happy place. Can’t beat the location.

Short family funeral

I was happy to be able to fine a home close to our family that lived near by for a family funeral and many were come from all over. Overall the communication was great. The house needs a better clean and we had to purchase garage bags and toilet paper as there where not enough for our stay there. But we mostly used it to sleep as we spent for time with family.

Relaxing

Nice and spacious place away from heavy tourist crowds, yet close enough to the attractions if you're into that sort of thing. The community was quiet and felt safe. There are fun things to do around that are off the grid like the orange orchards (about 20 minute drive) and Webbs icecream(7 minutes). There are many shops and chain restaurants close by like Walmart and Popeyes maybe 5 minutes away. Gatorland was about 40 minutes and disney was about 35 minutes(at different times). The MCO airport drive at 3am was 35 minutes. The house was very spacious and would be great for a large family. Most of the host's pool toys were broken so bring your own. There were extra pool lounge chairs in the garage. Water pressure in showers was not great but bathrooms are big. One of the bathrooms has a pool entrance- huge perk! The beds were squeaky and not very comfortable. Bring your own pillow. The house had a weird smell not sure what it was and it could have been cleaner. I could not fit my car rental -a Nissan Altima into the garage. The Wifi was great perfect for working remote. Host was very responsive and overall would rent again. We had a relaxing time lounging/working by the pool. The kids loved the house. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise, Haines City is an excellent location for a low key getaway close enough to everything.

Lovely home, good value

The property was as described, spacious and comfortable. We had a few issues that were promptly dealt with by managers. We would suggest an update for window treatments as opening and closing was touchy as the vertical blinds kept losing vanes even after repairs. The living area can be somewhat dark as it in the center of the house and gets light only from the window to the covered lanai. Better lighting would help here. A floor lamp or 2 to supplement the 2 low lamps would help a great deal. Reading was a struggle. Overall tho, a good value.

Home Was as Advertised

Our stay was from Jan. 01,2019 to Mar. 02,2019. The home was very clean and spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed. We brought a Slow Cooker ( crock pot ) with us as it's nice to prepare a meal while you are lounging around the pool. We ended up leaving it there, as we still have 2 back home. Small gift to Mark the owner, as he was so friendly and helpful prior to our stay.

Clean and friendly

We were very happy with this house. The cleaning staff were very friendly and accomadating. It was wonderful to have a kitchen and washer and dryer. The pool was warm until the last two days of our stay and then it felt like the heat was turned off. But other than that it was a great rental.

Fantastic property in great position!

The position of the property is ideally close to all the things great about central Florida. The gated complex gives an added sense of security to the whole place and the adjacent lake view is a fantastic added bonus. The property itself is very spacious and has everything you need for a long stay (we stayed 3 weeks). The accommodation is maintained to a very high standard and the property is in A1 condition. The pool was a much appreciated addition on hot days and the high level pool area mesh cover means it can be used constantly without the outside bugs joining in on an evening!! We holiday'd with extended family and there were 5 adults and a toddler and it is spacious enough still for everyone to have their own space whilst under the same roof. The owner Mark is very helpful and communicates well - If we return to this part of Florida, I will DEFINITELY re-rent this place. I would HIGHLY recommend this property!!!

A great quiet location

We had a very enjoyable stay, the villa is comfortable, spacious and clean. It's also located on a quiet gated community which gave additional safety. Supermarkets and restaurants are all very close by and this is the first time we've stayed this far south of Orlando. It's an excellent location for Legoland which can be reached in 20 minutes. Disney and other parks are also easily accessible and not too long a drive as long as you miss rush hour on the interstate. The villa is priced very competitively as we've paid a lot more and got a lot less. Mark the owner is extremely helpful, quick to reply to any query, directions from the airport were excellent and he'll try to accommodate all requests. It's good to stay somewhere the owners regularly holiday.

Brilliant.

Firstly, Mark is so very helpful and it was a pleasure booking with him. He even emailed us detailed directions to the villa from the airport. We are so thankful for everything! The villa was perfect. Over and above what we expected. As a newlywed couple on our honeymoon this was pure luxury. Loads of space, lovely and clean and our own pool?! Wow! The location was just right. Close enough to the parks and malls, but far enough away from all the hustle and bustle. Having Walmart just down the road was a huge bonus. We felt safe at the villa and very relaxed. Cannot recommend it enough.

Great

It was a good feeling and relaxing to get to the place after a long drive from Texas. We were so greatfull because it had all the items needed ( just like a regular home) to enjoy our stay. All we had to take was clothes and purchase food. We will reserve it again. The place was great! It was well kept and a good location. Ray

About the host

Hosted by Mark

Host profile image
We have close family friends in New England and for the last 20 years my wife Alison and I have loved travelling and spending time in North America. As soon as our two young girls arrived, the draw of Florida grew stronger and about 8 years ago we were able to purchase our dream vacation home. We visit the villa twice a year and when we’re not there, the villa is looked after a family-owned Property Management Company that we have known since buying the property. The villa is a very much a home or base for our family when we’re in US for and is a long-term commitment ; i.e. it’s not a short-term investment property nor are we looking to sell it in the short or medium term. My main point is that we’re very responsible homeowners.

Why they chose this property

A key factor in purchasing the villa was to be within easy striking distance of the theme parks and in this respect we're just 15 minutes from the main gates of Disney via Interstate 4. However, we also wanted a location where we could relax in a beautiful, tranquil setting, away from the heavy traffic and commercialized urban development surrounding Disney. That's why we chose the lakeside community of Calabay Park, Tower Lake which means its that much easier to enjoy Florida's natural attractions including orange groves, stunning lakes and gulf coast beaches. Legoland is close by and Busch Gardens is easy to reach. So in summary, we’re close to the Orlando attractions, but just far enough away to enjoy the very best of Central Florida after a long day at the parks.
