Family of Ten have Fabulous Vacation
Review Submitted: March 6, 2009

This rental is amazing! We planned a vacation with my brother's family. He has 4 children ( ages 15, 8, 6, 3)and my husband and I have 1 (age 7). We also invited my mother along making the total travel party 10. We drove from NH to FL. We had looked at pool homes in the area but settled on this townhouse (though much smaller) because of the resort pool. I was worried that we might be cramped but found we were not at all. We all had beds that were comfortable. During the day we spent much time out of the condo anyway.
The unit was spotless and everything looked in great condition. It was positioned perfectly- just a few blocks to the pool! The kids LOVED the lazy river and water slide and I'll admit we loved it too. Drinks poolside were $7.50 for a frozen and $4.50 for beer. I loved the mudslides! We bought tubes for the lazy river and left them at the pool when we left. I noticed lots of people doing this so before you buy them, get to the pool first thing a few days and see if there are any left hanging around. I do want to say that I was a little bummed that the pool area closes at 6pm (I gather this is a new rule). I thought it would be a problem for us but by the time we were done the parks, and eating, we were pretty tired and wouldn't have gone anyway. Days we spent at the pool, we were done by six and ready for something else. I was not bothered by the rule at all. Also, I did see some people that were disturbed at the pool because of the lack of rules. Kids do splash and jump off rocks and do long chains of people off the water slide. We are laid back people and were not bothered by this at all. It was not excessive and we could try the hot tub or other pool if an area was rowdy. The pool area is big enough for everyone.There are quiet spaces everywhere.
We spent 2 days at Disney (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom). Lots and lots of walking but so fun!
We ate out twice. We did take out at Carrabbas the first night. Its a Italian chain (above Olive Garden) and I loved it (but I love it at home). We also ate out down the road at Houlihans. The menu was fantastic and the food was great and the atmosphere was very hip and cool.
Also, Owner Alan is wonderful. Great communication! Helped with every question! He was so helpful and I would recommend his place to anyone. I really loved this place and will be back again for sure!
