Animaux acceptés! Lake Nona Maison de vacances 2 chambres 1 salle de bain Situé au centre

Overall we enjoyed staying at this property. It was a little further away from the parks than we had hoped, but if you have pets, this is a great place. It has a nice little fenced-in backyard and all title floors. Our pups enjoyed it.

Surprise Stay! but not in the best of ways....

When you arrive this property is beautiful outside and so as inside... Personally Im not fond of decorative masks or big shiny ornaments but hey.. It was all very clean and nice...

The surprise factor came when we arrived and the owner greeted us with a list of rules and instructions that where borderline extreme. Example "YOU CANT COOK" because it creates smoke and if there's smoke, the detectors will go off and you will have to pay $250! (WHAT) or DONT TALK TO NEIGHBORS! lol.. Also, there's Cameras everywhere that also are a bit uncomfortable, because even though they cover the outside of the property.. there's a camera that points from the outside in, and easily records all your movements in the house living area. Last surprise was the fact that there's a closed (locked) room in the house that apparently the owner keeps to live in... This was a bit awkward but we decided to stay since the owner expressed she was going out of town... None of these items were noted on the description OR the contract. We rented the property for over 2 weeks... On the last night the owner decided to inform us that she was returning to the house. Not ask... but Inform... There is no way, we'll stay in a house where now there's another person in there... on a room that has access to where we have all our personal belonging and also, where now it becomes a matter of having to monitor our conversation volume and noises and simply our privacy just ended.. So we decided to leave that same night and get a hotel because we just couldn't deal with the fact. Overall it served it's purpose which was to have a place to stay close to my house in East Orlando, since our family is big and they all didn't fit on my house. But, definitely wont be using this property again and I feel the owner needs to make clear all the demands and instructions prior to arrival when it's to late to make any other arrangements.

Thanks and book at leisure.

Date of arrival

December 18, 2015

Beatiul serene atmosphere. Perfectly clean. A duplex and very quiet. Large spaces, fully loaded kitchen, a garage for my new car, no stairs, easy to unload, beautiful art from round the world, the house is like a Museum. We got up early each morning to enjoy sunrise at the lake in the private yard. Marbol floors, spa bathrooms, a great host who speaks several languages, pleasant and unstanding. We enjoyed the gazebo along with a large varieties of flowers. A momorable stay. Thank you for spoiling us.

If I could give a negative number to this property, I would. We are new to the area and needed a place to stay until our home was ready, as school was starting. We were very excited to find this dog friendly rental. That initial excitement vanished as soon as we arrived at the property. First, the owners videotape and record activities within the home. There is a small sign on the window, however this fact is not disclosed. I find this disturbing and unforgivable. How exactly were these recordings to be used? Second, there were cats outside the front door. The cats are not restricted to the outside and my daughter has asthma and a severe allergy to cats. The owners live in the house when it is not rented, the cats are always present and this was undisclosed on the website as well. The cat presence alone, had it been stated, would have prevented us from renting this property.

The atmosphere is very unwelcoming. The couch and beds are very uncomfortable and the TV is very small (not the "huge flat screen TV" noted by a reviewer). There are many masks and art, covering most of the walls and several busts-all this made my girls (ages 5 and 9) quite frightened. When my children began exploring the house they went into a room that I later found out had been locked. It is the owner’s suite, which has access from the outside. The owner and cats can come and go at will, 24/7, whether we were present or not. I found this nearly as unsettling as the videotaping. Outside, we found a hot tub with no access for renters. Despite the 2 glowing reviews, there was no effort to welcome us or provide instructions and no code for the internet (we were later told that we had to call). All in all, the property was completely uninviting and not as advertised.

We called to discuss the cat’s presence, my husband, who is a physician, explained the asthma/allergy situation to the owner, it since would be dangerous for my daughter to stay. No offer of relief was made and we left shortly there after. Next day, the owner said they had another property available. Unfortunately, it was too far away and not an option. I was told that the entire10 day fee was nonrefundable. She stated that they would offer us a stay in another location, to be used within the year. We would never choose to stay in any of her properties. We've now needed to find a hotel for 10 days. We will be reviewing this property everywhere it is listed and have our bank and our lawyers. Renters beware...
