Great location, we stayed for an event at the camping stadium so not too far away but not too close to where it’s loud. It’s a comfortable house. It could use some upgrades but not a huge deal. The bathrooms are connected by the shower which was interesting. Overall had a great stay!

Perfect for our trip!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home! It is represented accurately in the listing and was clean and quiet. This is an older Florida-style bungalow with a big fenced-in back yard perfect for kids and pets to play in safely. It met our needs perfectly and was perfect location to get around Winter Park quickly!

Perfect respite

Our stay at this property was so wondeful. It was a last minute reservation and we had great communication with the property manager as well as a lovely welcome with snacks and refreshments waiting for us upon arrival. The neighborbood was quiet and felt very safe. The beds were so incredibly comfortable and the house was clean and very cozy. Additionally its conveniently located right off I-4 which made it easy to commute to other parts of Orlando.

Winter in Winter Park

We spent seven weeks at this location. It was just as listed. No surprises. It was near shopping, great places to eat and the highway. Both the property manager and owner were very responsive! Landscaping was attractive as was the fenced in back yard. Neighborhood was quiet,The step -down shower issue has been solved, and we had no problem using it - plenty of hot water and great water pressure. Bed was comfortable as was the couch with optional footrests. Would stay there again!

Winter Park visit

It was great having a fenced in back yard. Our dog loved chasing squirrels & romping around in it. The location was convenient, although not walkable, to Park Ave restaurants & shopping. Would suggest possibly getting a couple of luggage stands. Would definitely rent again.

Lake Killarney Property

We enjoyed the ease of location in relation to our needs and its proximity to downtown Winter Park, the accommodations, the pretty neighborhood, the good restaurants, and the tvs. The shower was a bit of a challenge, especially for the elderly. It is a shared shower, with each access about a 12" step down. To mitigate this, safety bars are installed. The primary bedroom bed was very comfortable; however, it could use a step stool to get in and out of bed. We're short!
