Review Submitted: January 23, 2008
Date of Stay: January 2008
We stayed here for a week with 3 couples and two kids ages 2 & 4. Weather (Jan) wasn't great, so we didn't get to enjoy the pool as much as we'd have liked. Pool is great though, with cover to keep it warm and lights to swim at night. "hot tub" wasn't really hot and there weren't any controls...it was either full blast jets or none.
Almost all the beds were comfortable, but the double bed made a bizarre amount of squeaking from the boxspring. Also, the home is furnished with 2 glass top dining tables and a glass top coffee table, which we quickly removed to the garage for safety with two small kids. Gameroom in garage was great to have, pool table was a little "tippy" but fine for amateur players. Southern Dunes is a great gated community that was super-convenient to Haines City shopping. We went to Cypress Gardens twice (fabulous for small kids) and Disney. Took about 30-40 min to get to Orlando, less than that to get to Cypress Gardens. Went to Tampa too, easy route only an hour away. So great central location if you want to do more than just Orlando attractions. fully equipped kitchen, grill. We had a faucet break while we were there and the property management company had someone there within an hour of calling. Would definitely stay there again, just hope that the glass top tables get replaced.
