Beautiful get away weekend
This property is STUNNING. It's in a charming neighborhood in Orlando that is a 5-minute drive to many good restaurants. The property feels like a resort with winding paths to multiple residences, gorgeous foliage and a large beautiful sun-dappled lake with comfy lounge chairs. The interior is clean and the bed is very comfortable. Our visit was right after Hurricane Milton and we were worried about impact in Orlando but he assured us there was no damage. Unfortunately, although the power inside the residence seemed in working order, the outdoor lights had not been adequately checked and this resulted in pitch black pathways that contained steps and we couldn't walk our dogs at night without a flashlight. I would have felt very weary if my partner had not been with me.
I'm not a fan of their policy of charging a $25 amenity fee (this is disclosed in their listing), so we couldn't access the pool or gym or any of the cute spaces that make the rental so unique without paying it first. I had asked about accessing the gym and of course this is subject to the fee. We decided we would pay the fee. However, when we got in there, the one treadmill they had was not functioning and he was aware of it when I messaged him. He should have disclosed that equipment was not functional before I paid him for it, especially because he knew the gym was the reason we were paying the fee. He offered to refund the fee if we left and didn’t workout but it left a sour taste. Overall a lovely stay.
