Nice Little House
Everything was good in this Nice Little House and we enjoyed the space during our stay. It was really nice to be able to move around compared to staying in a hotel. The private parking and yard was definitely a plus for us and we felt secure at this location too. A few minor improvements/up grades with the beds and furniture would be a plus and make it an excellent little house. We were overall satisfied with our stay and would visit this Nice Little House again.

Wonderful property and property owner
My stay here was over several weeks. The entire stay, the property owner was respectful, and easy to communicate with on the couple of occasions it was necessary. There is a nice sized smart TV where I could cast all of my favorite streaming apps and a couple of different comfortable recliners to enjoy time watching it. The house is cozy, which I liked, but the kitchen is spacious, which was a nice surprise. Laundry units were very efficient as well. I would recommend anyone looking for a nice cozy place to stay in St. Cloud to definitely give this place a try! Almost, forgot, it is super pet-friendly, if you have your own personal fur babies it’s truly a perfect place to stay.

Not for us.
Host and check in process was great. House is clean. Neighborhood is somewhat decent. However, I take responsibility for not looking closer at the pictures. This house is not set up for me and my 2 adult children to enjoy a movie. The furniture is not comfortable nor is it set up in a manner to view the tv. The beds, although clean with fresh sheets, were not comfortable. We rented this home to go fishing during the day and to enjoy time together watching movies in the evening. Not comfortable for my family. I would recommend taking a closer look at the pictures before reserving. Tv trays as night stands, and t-shirts as outside cushion covers are just a couple examples of our disappointment for the price.

Short stay in Kissimmee area
We wanted a house to stay in the Kissimmee area that was not a resort. The location was close to attractions. I did picture the house being closer to the historic district that was mentioned on the rental site. The house could use some updates and repairs. Also the tv internet setup was not very user friendly. Owner was very responsive.

Nice pet friendly rental home in St. Cloud near Orlando
Nice clean home with responsive owner that welcomed us with a lovely fresh fruit gift. There is one bed in each of the two rooms, and a love seat pull out in the living area. There is one TV in the entire home located in the living area, using apple TV with netflix and prime video ready to go. There is a nice small desk with an office chair that was perfect for working. The wifi was around 30mbps download and 10mbps upload. Home is in a relatively quiet neighborhood, a 0.6 mile walk to a beautiful lakefront path with a dog friendly restaurant (Crabby Bill's) but no sidewalks until you get to the lakefront path. There is also a nice park (Johnson Park) that is only 4 blocks away that had tennis courts, a playground, and basketball courts. Only surprise was even though washer/dryer were in front of the carport attached to the house, we were charged $5 per load to use them.

We had a great stay! Super nice property. Quiet road. The only two cons I have were the beds were a touch hard (however that's more personal preference) and there was no washer/dryer on the property. But it was close to everything and tons of shops super close! Overall it was a great place for us to relax with all of our pets and no issues.

Cozy home in Charming St. Cloud
Immaculately clean and dog friendly, we had a fabulous 3 weeks in the Purple House. Great affordable golf and several bike paths are nearby. Spent many afternoons on the covered deck and our dog Lily loved the fenced- in yard. Our host Karen was available for all our needs and questions. St. Cloud is a lovely town with a gorgeous lakefront, an old fashioned downtown area and is a welcome respite from the crowds of Orlando. We look forward to our next visit to The Purple House!!
