unit was very nice, very clean, and well maintained. great pool area. Plenty of sun and shade. All the pool furniture was nice. Location is wonderful. However, none of the bedrooms upstairs had ceiling fans, and you could not adjust the temperature of the unit. It was very uncomfortable upstairs. Sleep upstairs was terrible. Never rented a unit that did not have ceiling fans in all bedrooms. For that reason alone, we would not rent this unit again.
Easy check in, the house was clean, near restaurants grocery ... We were going to Tampa and Orlando so it's a perfect location. We have really appreciate our holiday's. Thank you !!
We loved our stay. The house was gorgeous, it had everything you need and could ask for. It was center to all the attractions. We would definitely do it again.
Thank you Catherine and the property mangers.
We enjoyed our time at this property. It was a very safe and quiet neighborhood. This was a family vacation including our 4 children and my parents and this home accommodated all of us well. We did travel to Disney, Clearwater Beach, and Cocoa Beach several days. They all were close enough as long as you paid attention to traffic time before leaving. Would recommend.
It was only my mom and myself, but this house was close to the airport, and close to the graduation venue. Location was easy to find and neighborhood is super quiet, and very well kept. The house is huge and the pool is spectacular! Having the pool was great therapy for my mom since she has to walk with a walker due to knee and back issues. We had a wonderful time there and look forward to coming back for vacations in the future.
Had a great 2 days loved the house, but Hurricane was coming through and we drove down so felt it was better to be safe and drive home. Wish we could have stayed
Honestly did not have high expectations from the pictures provided by the listing and when we arrived I was shocked to see how nice the house was! They had such cute plates and cups placed with napkins on the table so fancy! The rooms looked more updated than the pictures showed.. so I definitely would recommend updated pictures of the home because the pictures definitely do not give it justice. It was super easy to contact the property owner and even the property manager and they responded very quickly to every question and concern we had. We had a really good time there and definitely would return in the future!
Overall this location was great for our family. There were small things like small black bugs that would gather on the pool, the oven smoked heavily during the 1st use due to cleaner left in it, and some of the dishes has residue on them. We were surprised that the AC was not supposed to be turned under 75 degrees. The house is beautiful and the neighborhood feels very safe and secure. The home owner corresponded well through email. The location gave us good access to SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, and other local attractions. The community has all the convinces that you would need.
All in allâŠthe house was set up nicely. A few things could be improved. The carpet had crumbs on it when I arrived and could definitely be cleanedâŠlots of spots and stains. There is a true ant problem in the home. By the second day the main bath tub was filled with dead ants. Also the sheets and bedding can be refreshedâŠsome sheets upstairs had stains on them and my teens were a bit reluctant to sleep in these beds. I would just recommend deep cleaning and some new bedding and towels. Otherwise the pool and patio area was great as well as the space for our stay.
This was our 5th attempt at a Florida holiday since March 2020... We were so glad we finally succeeded!
Firstly, the photos on VRBO do not do the property justice but I have raised this with Cath. Due to a hip and shoulder break a few months earlier I had dibbs on the ground floor master suite, this was huge with sooo much drawer and hanging space I could have stayed for a year and not used it all. The bed was like sleeping on a giant marshmallow, had to force myself to get up in the morning!
The massive Walmart is only 10-15 mins away (tiny distance but 2 left turns on Hwy27) Aldi is across 27 and great for the store cupboard staples.
To travel to Disney property takes anything between 65-75mins due to the high volume of traffic on I4, no road works as these are done at night, Universal 90-105mins so allow for that in your theme park commute. The rest of the family went to "Mickey's not so scary" and I picked them up and I was back in the villa in 70mins and there were fewer cars/18 wheelers on the I4.
This is a lovely villa on a very secure gated estate and we would all recommend it without hesitation, thanks Cath and family!
Biggest issue the cost of the property was listed in English pounds on VRBO. We didnât realize it and we were charged an extra $1000 dollars on our credit card for 24 days. VRBO refused to do anything about it even though VRBOâs bylaws say all listings will be in US dollars! VRBO suggested I cancel, it was too late and would have lost my deposit's. Also it wasnât listed that there was an extra charge for heating the pool in the original add .it cost an extra $30 a day to heat the pool.The microwave and stove are outdated.The beds in the 3 upstairs bedrooms are the lowest quality beds you can buy. The foosball table is very cheap and held together with glue, wouldnât let anyone play it. The TV upstairs in the sitting area is an old tube TV with a half green picture.
The downstairs Master Suite was very clean and comfortable . There are stains in the rugs with one hidden by a throw down rug in front of the couch downstairs. . Otherwise this home is very comfortable and a nice home, The pool is very nice with a pool bathroom outside which is great so you donât track water through the house. Nice gated community. House maintenance person responded very quickly to any issues. Owner needs to do a couple upgrades and this house would be a 5. Would recommend
Catherine was very accommodating and we appreciate how responsive everyone was to our requests (even when it was our mistake!). The only improvement I would suggest would be to allow guests to adjust the thermostats as it was locked at 76 degrees.
I live in North West England with my husband. We both work full time and spend what ever holidays we can in the villa. It's like home from home. We fell in love with Disney the first time we went in 1993 and visited Florida 3 more times before deciding to buy a property. We have 2 grownup daughters who are as nutty about. Disney as we are and they join us whenever commitments allow. The climate suits us and the people out there are so friendly and helpful. I still feel a ripple of excitement every time we go knowing that the weather, even if it rains, will be warmer than back in England and we can relax and forget about work.
We chose Calabay Parc at Tower Lake because it was a new development. With easy access to the theme parks and other areas of Florida it was an ideal central location to have a base. Disney is approximately 30 minutes away, near enough to get to but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle of the crowds. Being a gated community meant that the area would be relatively secure for ourselves and our guests. There are many shops, takeaways and restaurants within a 15 minute drive, including a large Walmart with filling station less than 5 minutes away. The grounds in Calabay Parc are well kept with plenty of room between villas and overall is quiet, peaceful and relaxing.
Being a 2 storey property, 3 of the 4 bedrooms are upstairs making the open plan ground floor very light and spacious. There is a den area upstairs with a foosball table, TV and DVD should the children want to do or watch something different. The back of the villa is south facing getting the sun from dawn to dusk. The private pool has safety fencing separating it from a large patio area where children can play, adults can relax and the family can enjoy a BBQ (provided). The pool and patio can be accessed from the dining area, lounge and 1st master bedroom. We also provide, free of charge, a cot/playpen, highchair and stair gate, towels, bed linen and a hairdryer. English Premiership football is available most days during the season along with free local and national telephone calls.
