Fabulous Stay
We loved everything about this property! It easily accommodated all of us (10 adults and 4 kids). Rooms were spacious and clean. The pool was wonderful. We opted to pay for the pool heater and the staff on site was there in a flash to help us with that. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us - we left with some great memories!

This property met all our needs. The pool was wonderful. The kids and adults really enjoyed the pool. It was close to disney and so was grocery shopping. Had a few issues like a toliet and the patio door. Both were fixed by Tuesday. I would recommend this home to anyone that has a large family.

Mickey and Minnie Mansion Experience
The size was perfect for our group. Location was excellent and very easy to get to all Disney parks and anything you might need. The gated community was very well maintained. Wish the recycling program was explained better with regard to only being put in a certain grey bag and no seperate bin from garbage. Some slight upgrades needed like replacing chairs that have loose legs and the vinyl coming off, and large patio door very difficult to open. The overall appearance and quality of the home we great and we very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you from the Canadians.

Best vacation home
The house was very accommodating to our large group that stayed here. The living room, kitchen, and dining room was very spacious and didn’t feel too small when we were all inside the house. You had a great view of the pool from inside the house so it was easy for the adults to relax while the kids enjoyed themselves.

Just what we needed
We had a very nice stay this home. Lots of room for multiple guests and children. We really.enjoyed the pool, and the kids also enjoyed the game room. We overlooked in the booking that trailers are not allowed, so that was a problem. However, the property manager kindly.provided a solution by allowing us to park at their office. We would consider staying here again in the future.

Disney trip
The house was very nice. The internet was not hooked up so we had to do that. Also none of the TVs were hooked into the cable box. We did that and then it was okay. There were not enough towels. Called to get more and it took a day and a half. We did use the washer but there were not enough from the start. Other then that the house was beautiful, beds were very comfortable. There is plenty of room in this house. I would most definitely book this house again!

Spacious but lacking; Don't rent from Villa Direct
Spacious accommodations. Minimal line at gate but then had to go to the clubhouse to get a key which is a $20 per car extra fee that was buried in the paperwork. No kitchen towels and took over 12 hours to get some. Microwave door was literally broken in half - how could cleaning crew not notice unless they never cleaned it. Toilet had paper band across it but there was tp in the toilet so again, how could this happen unless it was never cleaned. When I asked for a replacement microwave, they sent a technician who confirmed it. No one called so three calls later, I was told they didn't have any and best they could do was for me to go out and purchase one and they would reimburse me. (which they did). No follow-up with me, just a credit card credit. Carpet is stretched so looks like snakes all over the place. How does one clean it I wonder. Pool and patio was clean...only 5 chairs at a 6 person table. Also, chairs were torn/worn indoors so definitely in need of replacement. One guest room had a headboard that was fake leather and peeling so bad all over the pillows and bed - piled up behind the headboard....gross. At least two of the showers were clogged really bad. Yuck to stand in dirty water. One 13 gallon trash bag for a place that sleeps 18? Two hairdryers didn't work....left a note with them on the kitchen table. Hopefully, they will be replaced. We certainly left it cleaner than we found it. Never would I rent from Villa Direct again. Met people in the clubhouse that had worse experiences than we did...again Villa Direct. Hope this helps them improve their business model.

Needs a deep cleaning
This property is in need off DEEP cleaning. There is a strong musty smell. The air returns were all covered with dirt and grime. The ceilings had thick cobwebs/dirt hanging down from them. The lower cabinet where the trashcan sat (and the trashcan itself) was splattered with food and liquid. There were hairs/crumbs on "clean" dishes in the cabinets. Walls and baseboards were dirty and splattered. A keurig is pictured in the listing so we purchased K-cups. However, there wasn't one and instead a regular coffee pot. The game room (converted garage) did have air hockey but it barely blew out air. The pool table leg was propped up by cardboard from coke cases and the fooseball table didn't have a ball. There were also dead roaches on the floor. (that, honestly, was troublesome but I understand that florida is home to lots of bugs). Upstairs revealed carpet that was dirty and bunched up (which has been mentioned in previous reviews from quite a long time ago). We found little bits of trash, etc. and a peanut sitting in the middle of the floor. Overall the place needs CLEANED. We also stripped the beds to reveal mattresses with urine stains. I took tons of photos and sent them to the property manager. They asked if we wanted a cleaning crew to come in but we had already left the house for disney and did not feel comfortable having people come in while we were gone and had not secured our belongings appropriately. We strongly feel that the pictures of the property do not accurately represent the current condition of the home. We did, however, find the location to be excellent with quick access to stores, restaurants, and Disney parks.

Great house!
House was great and super spacious for our group of 11. Loved the open layout of the living room and kitchen. Would definitely stay again. One small issue we had was that there were only two towels in the kids jack and jill bathroom that is connected to two bedrooms with 2 bunk beds in each room (sleeps 8 kids). Other than that everything was great.

Vacation stay at Mickey & Minnie’s Mansion
Our family totaled 16 people (10 adults/6 kids). The size of this house and it’s location for visiting Disney World was perfect! I would definitely recommend to others families. Our dislikes were that this home had limited towels and if you wanted to enjoy a heated pool there was an up-charge of $50. Expect to buy things like toilet paper, bath soap, salt, pepper, dish washing liquid upon your arrival. Luckily there is a Walmart conveniently close by.

Nice Home - Could be Great
Overall, we liked this home, but there are some things that other reviewers mentioned that still have yet to be addressed. The home is large, but many things are worn and need to be repaired or replaced. Our group included my wife and me, her parents, my parents, and our three grandkids, all under 10. We also had visits from 2 other couples/families, so we had up to about 15 people in the home at the same time. Fitting our group was a huge plus. 1)Initial check-in took almost an hour. We waited in the car line for about 45 minutes before our car made it up to the guard house. They gave a document that we had to take to the Welcome Center where we signed in and they gave us an access card for a $10 cash deposit. Entry into the property after this initial time was pretty easy with the access card. 2)The living room, 2 large dining rooms with tables that fit 8 people each, and kitchen were very spacious and we never felt crowded. 2 large tables were very useful. This open area is a strong positive of the home. 3)Pool area was spacious and the pool was in good shape. The outdoor table and chairs were worn. Eddie, the pool guy, came by one day and was very friendly as he cleaned the pool. The ceiling fans in the lanai do not work. We had to spray to defeat a mildew smell. The screen had small holes and let in flies. 4)As mentioned in previous reviews from a few years ago, the carpet obviously needs to be replaced or restretched. 5)Bedrooms are large. There are 5 bedrooms with king beds and private bathrooms. There are 2 kids' rooms with 2 sets of bunk beds in each. The 2 kids' bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The Jack and Jill bathroom had a leak under the toilet when we arrived on Friday and we had to put towels down to soak up the water. I called about it on Saturday and was told they would send someone over. No one had arrived by Monday so I called again and they sent someone right over to check it out. A plumber arrived on Tuesday and fixed it. 6)There is an upstairs living room with a big TV which was a great space for the kids to watch their shows in the evening. 7)The game room looked good in the pictures but was pretty disappointing. There was a mildew smell as well as some damage on the walls/tile. The pool table had no usable pool cues at all. 8)I feel like the home had several items that could be fixed without a major investment. We would stay there again, but only if the items were addressed.

A 4 1/2 star property
Overall, my wife, four sons and I had a wonderful time staying at this location. PROS: (1) more space than the pictures show, (2) excellent layout, (3) well-stocked kitchen, (4) bedrooms were large with most having private bathrooms, (5) spacious loft area that's great for a second "hang out" space for kids, and (6) spacious pool and deck. CONS: (1) carpeting upstairs needs to be replaced/restretched, (2) grout/caulk in downstairs bathroom needs to be replaced, (3) two loose blinds on sliding door, (4) no outdoor grill, (5) needs two new pool sticks for billiards table (6) a few screens on the lanai were loose and are in need of repair, (7) bunks in the "princess" room were loose and need to be tightened, and (8) internet connectivity was difficult to figure out (we ended up using our phones as hotspots). Overall, the "cons" were relatively minor by comparison to the size, layout, and location of the home. Our family would happily stay here again.

Nice Property but some issues need to be addressed
Overall, a very nice property. We would rent this house again if we go back to Orlando. However, there are some things to know. 1. If you rent this property for a major holiday, don't wait to check in until the night before the holiday. There was a 1.5 hour wait at the property entrance. 2. The upstairs air conditioner does not work properly and complaints went unacknowledged. 3. There was one roll of paper towels in the house and one roll of cheap toilet paper in each bathroom - stock up before you show up. 4. Basic household cleaning items like dishwasher soap, laundry soap, etc. are not provided. Trash bags are not provided. 5. Property manager did address pool heat issue and did issue a refund which was appreciated. 6. Rear sliding door is extremely hard to operate even after we cleaned the rails really well. Had to use the secondary back door most of the time. 7. If you want a grill, be sure to ask for the large one. 8. Beds were comfortable; all appliances worked; 9. Only enough parking for 3 vehicles. 10. Quite convenient to Disney. 11. Refrigerator is undersized especially for a large group. We had 12 people there for Thanksgiving and had to use ice chests for the overflow.

Needs maintenance
The house is older and needs maintenance and a deep cleaning. There was a lot of dust on the light fixtures and some of the lights outside did not work. Biggest issue was the carpet though. It is very worn and needs to be stretched so there were a lot of ripples that could cause tripping hazzards for elderly. I think there may have been some mold in the ceiling as well as my allergies were very bad. It's in a nice location and has some nice features. I wouldn't recommend the bunk beds for older kids though. We had teenagers and they said the beds shifted a lot so they two ended up sleeping on the couches.

Worn but spacious
House shows some wear and needs a thorough cleaning and some upkeep, but location is near Disney and had the space we needed. I loved the location; only 15 minutes to Disney and we had plenty of space for 8 adults and 8 children. I will say, however, that the house needed a thorough cleaning. Blinds in family room doorwall to outside were falling apart and air vents were very dirty. I don't think the carpets were swept before we got there. Probably the biggest complaint was the cheapness of amenities. There were 2 very flimsy trash bags in the entire house, a small bottle of dish soap and the funniest, but sad thing was that the soap dispensers had water in them, not liquid soap. OH, and did I mention that there was a pile of dog poop at the entrance!!!!! It was quite a greeting!! By the way, the dryer does not work!
