Carol M.We loved it
Our family enjoyed the house. The rooms were large, and everyone had their own bathroom. We loved our private pool -perfect temperature. We used the kitchen and we enjoyed the large kitchen table. The game room was a added pleasure. The club house pool was cold and the lazy over is not heated so many guest did not use the pool area. But, our private pool was fabulous. The house is in close proximity to Disney and very close to grocery store areas. We loved it!!!!

I love Storey Lake too. Such a great resort for all the reasons you listed. So glad you all enjoyed the home!
Christine M.Merry and Bright!
We stayed over Christmas and I have to say from the time we walked in the door we felt at home in the cozy environment. Home was spacious, beds were super comfy and the pool and outside decking was to die for! Plenty of space to spread out and not be in anyone’s way, lots of fun games to play in the garage game room. Would definitely return to this house again! The management company was responsive and super friendly, checked in to make sure our stay was as we expected! Plenty of shopping, entertainment and restaurants just a few minutes away! Easy to get on and off local highways as well. Perfect location for our family, and as mentioned would definitely stay here again in the future!

Awesome location. The property was clean and the rooms were big and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. The pool was great and the pool and lazy river at the clubhouse was a great amenity. I recommend this location and will return for future family trips.

Missyq A.We Had a Blast
This is a GREAT house!! We just got back. We had no idea the house was located directly across from the pool which was so convenient. Only complaints were lack of towels for having 14 people staying in the house. The master had 1 wash cloth. The kitchen is lacking in tools. There were like 4 cups for drinking. Plenty of coffee cups but no other cups. 2 toasters and both burned bread instead of working correctly. The pool rules need to change. One day we brought in food/drink. The next day we were told we couldnt. Seems inconsistent depending on who was working the front desk. Otherwise, I would recommend this house in a heart beat and would come again!!

Hello! Thank you so much for letting me know about the towels, cups and toaster. I will make sure the onsite manager knows to get more to the property. I am sorry the pool rules were inconsistent. Since that is with the clubhouse, we cannot do anything about their staffing and rules. I am sorry if that made it a little difficult. But I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and the property. It has been a pleasure working with you and hope to hear from you again.
Mike B.Almost perfect
The location was perfect, the setting was ideal and the size of the house did not disappoint. When not staying on a Disney property I don't know if you could do better. The cleaning crew does need to learn to vacuum and mop a little better and there could be a little more understanding that people flying in can't bring a lot of items with them and can't use all the one bought after arriving. Seemed wasteful to just be throwing out extra trash bags toilet paper ect..

Thank you for letting me know your thoughts on the cleaners and provision of household basics. I will bring this up as we stopped providing items as folks have their own personal preferences for brands, allergies, etc. I am glad that otherwise you enjoyed the home and hope you had a wonderful time in Orlando.
Christopher J.Loved it
We love renting vacation homes, and always have a blast, this one is no different. The house was amazing, I didn't measure it but I believe the Tv was a 75" Samsung hanging on the wall, the pool was great, the lazy river was great, really nice newer kitchen, bed was really comfortable, all in all, will return again if available.
