The house was fantastic. There were 3 rooms with en suite bathrooms and the other 2 rooms (King and Bunkbed Room) had an adjoining bathroom. There was then a 5th full bathroom which allowed for every family in our party to have their own bathroom with shower. The kitchen/living room are open concept and the kitchen was well stocked. The outdoor area was great. It was 50-65 degrees during our stay and the pool maintained a very pleasant/warm temperature the entire trip - we used it every day of our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanksgiving getaway

Our family had a great time at the My Grand Floridian house! Great location near the entrance to the island. Close to the beach, grocery shopping, and coffee. The house was clean, well-equipped, and well-laid out for multiple generations to gather and give thanks. Would definitely rent again.

Fantastic

Fantastic property and management group. We loved the pool, quick access to the beach, and the manatees in the canal. Management was great to work with (smoke detector battery was going dead and a broken vacuum). House was clean and very accommodating for our family. We would love to return in the future!

Amelia Island

Property was generally great and very centrally located. Very clean and well adorned. Only issue was significant water damage in a bathroom which made entire downstairs game room inaccessible for the duration of our stay due to foul odor and mold. We had concerns for kids but remediation was started almost imediately upon our arrival. Same odor and dampness issue ramained in foyer of property as bathroom was directly adjacent to it. The kids were looking forward to the game room but otherwise a nice property.

Beautiful, peaceful, spacious. Manatees in the neighborhood was the best part!

House was just as described. As I have rented many houses in the past, I was pleasantly surprised that everything worked (such as the television by the pool so we could watch the Olympics while outside), pool was beautiful and provided just the right amount of sun for those who wanted it and plenty of shade for the kids. Lots of linens, beach chairs, beach toys, cookware. We would have liked directions for the music system as there were speakers everywhere, but there were no directions (but I did not ask). Nice and clean and comfortable. Would def stay here again. Thanks!

Grand Floridian house

Pool was green and dirty .we were able to swim the last 3 days of our week there. Manager was quick to respond but it takes time to get pool usable. Too bad it was not maintained. Liquid soap is furnished in bathrooms and kitchen but is watered down so much it won't clean. Otherwise it was a nice place.

Some issues

Beautiful home but there were some problems. House wasn’t clean, floors dirty, and a load of dirty moldy dishes left in dishwasher. Upstairs bedding, sheets, comforters, and pillows are dingy and tired. There was also an equipment problem with the pool, wasn’t heated until the final evening before we left. Basement has a musky, moldy smell.

Nice home and location

We stayed in the home over spring break. The home was beautiful and very spacious. I loved the fact that everyone had a nice bed, instead of a futon or pull-out couch. I also liked that there were plenty of bathrooms! The location is perfect-close to the beach and other activities but away from the main traffic. The canal is wonderful. We enjoyed watching the manatees every day. My only few complaints would be that housekeeping didn’t do a great job on the floors or underneath the beds. After walking around the house our feet were black! Also found candy wrappers under one of the beds. Home owners also left snarky note taped to the inside of one of the cabinets that I found somewhat rude and unnecessary. The pool was perfect until the last 2 days we were. There seemed to be an issue with the heater and it was very cold. Other than that the home was very nice and we enjoyed our stay.

Not well maintained and unreasonable property owner

My family and I stayed at this property recently, in October 2018. When we arrived, several items in the house or damaged or broken. The floors of the house were filthy, so much so that we had to get a cleaning service to come to the house to clean them. The pool heater was either not functioning or was turned down. The property owner refused to do anything about the pool temperature. My kids could not stay in the water for more than 30 minutes because it was so cold. The morning of our departure, as we were loading the cars, we saw the property owner driving back-and-forth watching us. Nothing like feeling rushed to end your vacation. After the vacation, the property owner refused to refund our entire damage deposit, claiming that we broke a piece of tile in the home that was already broken when we arrived. The property owner withheld an excessive amount for a chipped tile that we were not responsible for. We have filed a formal complaint with Homeaway and have tried working with the property owner. But the property owner will not provide any details on when or if we will receive our damage deposit back. The location and size of this property are huge selling points, but make sure you buy the home away damage insurance if you stay here.

Gorgeous property and quick beach access

We booked this house just after Hurricane Ian so we got an amazing deal. We all loved the house. Had some issues with the air conditioning but was resolved quickly when we called the property management company. There were on top of it. We were there for Hurricane Nicole and the house was solid and you could barely hear the wind. We all loved it and had a great time.

Everything and More!

The Grand Floridian is everything you want and more in a vacation rental. The beds are amazing, the home is immaculate, and the location is perfect! After being at the beach all day, our family enjoyed laying out at the pool under the palm trees and watching the manatees in the evening. We have rented numerous times on VRBO and this is our favorite house by far! We WILL be back!

Beautiful home, great location

We loved this house and would stay there again! Our only problem was with the pool. The listing stated that it was a heated pool but it was only heated for small portions of the day and not when we were ready to get in. We had to keep reaching out to the owner asking her to turn the heat on. We even offered to pay extra to just keep it on. Vera was a gracious host and very responsive!

Great pool and great for Manatee watching and paddleboarding

This was a great house for 2 families with adult children , my only complaint is the fact that 2 different bedrooms have jack and jill bathrooms, and small sinks, for 4 adults to share, became a chore, and of course they have to remember to unlock the door from their side as well.... ugh... otherwise, we were happy, great common areas. Great shade. We did cook a few nights, not a ton of kitchen counter space. small island, and if you love memory foam mattresses, this is your house.

Bad smell from canal

We felt very bad at arrival because of the bad smell from canal front of the house and to be worse, there were trash below the couch in the master bedroom. We could not open the windows and play in the pool because of bad smell during out stay. All towels were old and almost gray colored and displayed glasses were full of dirt. The owner should change the cleaning person ASAP.
