The location is absolutely awesome. Every guest who has stayed here tells me they LOVE the location.

At this time we do not have a pool but there are FIVE amazing water parks within 10 minutes. You won't find anything like them anywhere else in the country. Absolutely amazing!
BEST water parks - BRAND NEW incredible water park just opened at Universal, SeaWorld's Aquatica, Disney has Typhoon Lagoon & Blizzard Beach. Discovery Cove, swim with dolphins is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All-inclusive day, expensive and must reserve WELL in advance. Like being in a private park all to yourself. For a day trip, Busch Gardens also has a giant water park, and Daytona Beach water park is across from the boardwalk.
NEWS! Brand new incredible water park Volcano Bay now open at Universal. Universal has Harry Potter with Midnight Express train between parks, Minion's fun, the new Simpson's Ride and roller coaster Rock and Ride to music and video. There's a new concert stage at Universal which is awesome. Harry Potter is a huge success with yummy Butter Beer - you've got to try some.

We had to be at the convention center for 4 days. This was conveniently located and worked well for our family of 4.

Handicap accessible first floor bedroom and bathroom with walk in shower! This was great for my parents while myself, husband and daughter stayed in the upstairs bedroom since with 2 beds. The bathroom upstairs was great too. Air conditioning was nice and chilled quick. We didn't cook but it looked like all the things to cook with were there. Great apt size fridge worked for us. There were ice cube trays in the freezer. There was dish soap and sponge. There were starter rolls of TP and paper towels and laundry soap sheets under the sink which came in handy for washing towels during our stay. Some things to note: there were only 4 wash cloths and 5 of us (condo sleeps 6). I wish I would have brought a loofa or extra wash cloths. The laundry is nice but it is a short walk to the laundry room. It is only pay with card, not coins. There is a Keurig machine and a few K-Cups but no sugar or creamer. If that's what you like in your coffee, you can bring cream and sugar. No spices/oils for cooking. Walmart is a super short drive to get those things if you want to do some cooking. We had a great time and enjoyed the stay. I would definitely book this condo or with Gayle White again!!! She is a wonderful host! We were literally 15 minutes away from Disney and Universal! So convenient and comfy! The area seemed safe and we did not have any trouble while we were there. We felt safe walking to do laundry at night and relaxing on the patio in the morning. Beautiful sunset over the lake!

Great location to Orange County Convention Center and parks. Close to Walmart for supplies. The condo is like photos with the exception of the appearance of size of living room and kitchen space. We had two adults and a teen and we were glad we didn’t have to share the space. Bedrooms are good size. The furniture could be updated/deep cleaned as well as the carpet. The bathrooms were clean! I will say we missed having a pool. The area around the condos was a bit dark and the condo next door is marked uninhabitable. We felt safe, but found those things questionable. All in all, the price and location could not be beat and we were only there to sleep.

We were in town to visit Universal for 3 days. We were a 4-10 min ride from the parks depending on traffic. Ubers found us easily. Wal mart just down the street was very convenient for park snacks! We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great location! Very nice unit
We really enjoyed our stay here. We visited both Disney and Universal, and this was convenient to both. The apartment itself is not huge but is very nice and suited us well. We saw the Sea World fireworks over the lake and enjoyed walks around the property. Be sure to use the fan as directed upstairs because it helps keep it cool!

Nice location for the parks
Most of the time we spent in the parks. The condo's location is great for that purpose. When we're done with the parks, it was impossible to have a dinner together for 2 adults and 3 kids at the condo, due to the very small space to sit and absents of the kitchen essentials. Also, the kitchen sink is in a very weird spot. Outside the condo, there're piles of dirt that didn't look attractive and abandoned property next door was kind of telling us it's own story:( Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

I stayed for 5 weeks and worked during the week. I don't recommend doing this for anyone else. The condo has DSL and the best speed I ever got was 3 Mbps download and 0.25 Mbps upload. My Sprint cell service was right around the same speed. So it was very difficult to work. Gayle was nice enough to allow me to work from her office but I work from home so that I can actually work from home. She said the unit will get cable internet within a few months, but that didn't help me.Another issue I had was the bad kitchen layout. The sink is in the corner which makes it uncomfortable to wash dishes.I saw 2 roaches during my stay. I think they get in because the seals around the front and back door aren't adequate and there are large gaps.The upstairs bedroom is much warmer than downstairs. That is probably to be expected but just be aware.I'd recommend staying here if you're going to the theme parks all day and just need a place to relax and sleep afterward. It's not for someone who plans on being in the condo all day every weekday.

Good for short stays, especially if you're spending all day at the theme parks.

Perfect
This was the perfect spot for our time in Orlando. We met friends from Texas and we are from Ohio. What a great time to sit and relax and enjoy catching up. Just minutes away from every park and other than being exhausted, loved every moment there. Gayle is great to work with and She even smchecked on us after an incident that did not affect us, what a host! Thank you and we will be in touch when we decide to return in a couple years.

Poorly cleaned and ventilated townhouse in ideal location
I stayed here with my sister and a couple friends to go to the universal and Disney for a few days. It was an ideal location but that was about the only good thing about it. They had dog hair in the beds that were supposed to be clean. They had an assortment of bugs in the upstairs and downstairs rooms. The air ventilation was also seriously off for the upstairs loft bedroom. It was easily 15 degrees warmer no matter what temperature you put the thermostat on while the downstairs was freezing. I will say I didn’t contact the manager about these issues while staying here, I just dealt with it and told her about it after the fact. She did give me a small partial refund for the unpleasantness of the entire experience, hence the 2/5 stars.

Convenient Location to OCCC
A functional space for a small group with laundry facilities on site. Tastefully decorated with lovely bathrooms. Lack of pool and limited internet made the stay a bummer, but there was a splash park 10 minutes away.

Very Cozy and Pleasant Stay
We came to Orlando to attend a conference at Orange County Convention Center and were very pleased with the accommodations. This property is very quiet and close to the convention center. It was a perfect stay with all that was necessary to provide comfort and a little "home away from home" atmosphere. The area was safe and easy to get in and out of for our travels. Thank you for a great place and we would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay.

This property is perfect for a few days. Needed wine bottle opener, and toilet paper. Other than that it worked out fine.

Very disappointed
So disappointed I originally booked to come December 16 and was staying in a different home but still in the same complex but we had to reschedule to July 17. It was advertised with pool when I originally booked but they use the pool of the resort next door. Please anyone being told you can use it don't , this is trespassing and you will get in trouble with the sheriff if you get caught. As a result it cost us over a $1000 to get my children to the Disney park pools for 2 weeks. During July you need a pool and the boys wanted to swim. We was booked for 3 weeks and left a week early for no pool it cost me extra to stay somewhere else! I got 3 nights refund as the TVs wasn't working. The air conditioning didn't work upstairs and was dripping downstairs. Very disappointed and cost me a lot of money I may as well have stayed at a Disney resort for the extra cost incurred!

Nice and clean and comfortable.
The condo was very nice and comfortable . And close to the parks the owner was very nice. Would recommend it.
5.0 / 5.0
Very clean, comfortable and convenient.
I loved the ease of access, the extra parking spot, two full bathrooms, the pool access, and the very clear, easy to understand, instructions that Gayle leaves in a welcome booklet. Aside from the neatly folded towels and hotel style toiletries, you feel like you're living in your own home, rather than a hotel room, or a hostel, which some rental homes have the tendency to do. And the fact that there's a really decent Walmart right around the corner helps, to stock up on supplies for the longer stay.
The only drawbacks are minor. The stove is a little outdated, one of the glass shower doors won't close, the TV remotes are unprogrammed universal remotes, and the cable box in the upstairs bedroom would not work.
But the good outweighs the not-so-good by a wide margin. I would highly suggest staying here if your frequenting the convention center or vacationing at Disney and Universal. It is close and accessible to everything in that area. A 10 out of 10 place to stay, all the way.
