Disappointing- Checked Out a Day Early

Unfortunately, we really did not enjoy our stay. The location is excellent, however be prepared that you are essentially in the homeowner's yard. Overall, it was difficult to be comfortable for a number of reasons. The master bed was hard and uncomfortable, and so I slept in the “kids’ room". The kitchen was difficult to navigate with the shower in the middle of the kitchen and the tiny bathroom on the other side. My husband is 6’5” and neither of these amenities worked for us. He couldn’t close the door to go to the bathroom, and it was even challenging for me. There is one towel rack outside the shower in the kitchen, but nowhere to hang a wet towel after use. A bath mat would be nice as well. The bathroom had nowhere to lay one’s toiletries, so everything was in the sink or on the kitchen counter to get ready. Same with the shower, no caddy- so our toiletries were all over the shower floor. We brought a few groceries, but it wasn’t a good idea to cook anything with a hotel style sink and no proper dishrack. A few inexpensive and thoughtful details would have made our stay and others’, more comfortable. These include hanging more towel racks and/or hooks, adding a shower caddy, installing a shelf or cabinet in the bathroom, perhaps adding a separate area to get ready by placing a mirror near an outlet, replacing the kitchen runner curling at one end (trip hazard), having a working Keurig filled with water, making ice in the empty trays. Overall bad.

Wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful time at 8th Green cottage! We wanted to spend time in Winter Park and the location was perfect, only a few miles away! It’s such a lovely, historic neighborhood, great for walking. The owner Matt was quick to respond to a few questions that we had. The master bedroom was huge and both bedrooms had comfortable beds. Thanks so much!

The Listing is Misleading

Our stay was generally positive, though the initial arrival was a bit confusing. The listing photo shows the main house, not the actual rental villa, which is a separate structure located to the right of the garage. Clearer directions and a photo of the villa itself would be very helpful for future guests.The interior of the villa was accurately depicted in the listing. It's a cozy space with a functional kitchenette (including a shower), a comfortable living area with a washer and dryer, a kids' room stocked with books and games, and a front bedroom with a full-size bed. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary coffee pods and ample toiletries. The villa was clean, quiet, and equipped with reliable Wi-Fi and TV. Parking directly in front of the villa was also very convenient.The location was excellent for our needs, with easy access to I-4 and a quick drive to downtown Orlando. It was perfect for our week-long stay.Our only significant issue was the presence of two wasp nests – one near the kid's door and another by the entrance. We had to purchase wasp spray to address the problem, which was inconvenient and slightly concerning. While we understand that nature can be unpredictable, it would be beneficial for the owners to regularly check for and remove nests to ensure guest safety and comfort.Despite the initial confusion and the wasp issue, we appreciate the owners' hospitality and the overall convenience of the villa. We would recommend this property

Perfect Littlr Cottage

We rented this cottage for out of town guests to stay while attending a baby shower. The cottage was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood is safe and conveniently located to Publix and restaurants. We will stay here again. The shower very oddly placed, but it was not a problem.

Cute little house

This was a cute little house that was centrally located to Disney Parks and Universal Studios. It was perfect for the 4 of us. Very quiet neighborhood which was awesome for us to come back to after our times at the parks. Highly recommend, it is a tiny home, but having the washer and dryer was a plus, we did all of our laundry before we left back to Texas.

We had a great vacation in a lovely cottage in a quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed being so near Winter Park. The host was very responsive to our requests. However, the place has only one bathroom with a separate shower. Both are off the small kitchen. It worked out very well for us.

The separate parking spot, and private access to this guest home really does make you feel like you’re in your own private home. Not just the guest sweet. The shower is a bit small, but that was no problem. Their hospitality and communication is great, and we had no problems at all.

Exactly what we needed

Great accommodations for our visit to the area. Comfortable and nicely decorated. It's nice to visit neighborhoods when one is traveling to get a better flavor of the area. We enjoyed nice walks in the morning near the golf course. The only weirdness is the location of the shower (sort of in the kitchen), but it was perfectly clean and it worked out fine as we're a family. Very nice owners.

Cozy place, incredibly dirty though.

I stayed over there the day before my wedding at Dubsdread golf course, and the two following days. The location was amazing for our needs, and the guest house was cozy and spacious. However, one step on the floor without shoes on and my bridesmaid's foot was covered in dust and a tuft of dog hair. When we stopped to look at the floor, it was so dirty that we took the vacuum cleaner, vacuumed, and swept everything since my husband is allergic to pets. He still had terrible allergies afterward. The drawer that had forks also had a dead baby cockroach and a live silverfish in it, in addition to a ton of dust. Pros: - There is a lot of space, the living room is nice and it was very helpful to have so much space when we had a make-up and hairstyling team over - The bedsheets and towels were clean - There are board games in the room! - Roku tv with everything on it was really nice - Fully furnished Cons: - Everything besides the linens is very dirty, including the mattress protector in the main room. Also, don't step on the floor. - The initial picture on the listing is a little misleading, the listing is for the guesthouse - The shower is very small and the showerhead points into the wall (although it can be removed and handheld), the water temperature and pressure is really nice though. - Pet allergy warning - The utensils drawer had a dead cockroach in it, and a live silverfish. Clean any utensils/dishes before using. - There was old coffee in every mug when we got there (not coffee stain, just old, cold coffee) Hopefully, this review helps improve the quality of the property, and that by the time you're reading this all these issues have been addressed. This review was written in regards to our stay in December 2021.
