Disappointed
Location was the best part of this stay But 1 night someone forced the door and damage the hech/lock the place has from inside We had to call contact person They changed what was broken The main lock was forced too & damage too. This was my 3rd time staying at this location by far the worst from past experience. Now my husband doesn't want to stay here anymore.

This review unfortunately is unfair and incorrect. The property manager visited with a locksmith and he confirmed the lock had not been damaged and was still perfectly in tact. What had happened was that the inside latch had been damaged. This would indicate this was done from the inside. Please draw your own conclusions from this review.

My sister and I enjoyed our stay. The condo was a perfect fit for what we needed. The bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the unit, which is great for privacy. There is a nice back porch overlooking a wooded area and plenty of restaurants and a Publix nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Host
The lock box on the property door did not respond to the code. I tried several times as did one of the other guests. I tried to contact the property manager & got no response ever the complete 5 days at the property. The host couldn't have been more accommodating & helpful & responded immediately when I contacted her. I would recommend a stay at this property, aside from the initial key issue we had a very pleasant stay & would definitely book again if in the area.

Great little find, accommodation is perfect for us, the pool is great, the only downside in the pool area is the main facilities are closed. I guess it is still suffering post covid. It didnt spoil our stay though, we had a couple of very minor issues which Karen resolved straight away, great place highly recommend

Good short stay
We had what we needed for our stay for 3 nights. We didn’t need more than the basic items left for us for the weekend. We knew the sheets were clean because we could feel that it was a bit wet still. We started our stay drying linens so it was fully dry before use. There was no odor to it but it just didn’t seem 100% dry before the cleaning crew set the home up.

Perfect!
I was looking for an inexpensive place to stay while I was in the area watching my son play baseball over spring break, and this place delivered. Quiet, perfect location for me as it was close to Champions Gate where my son was staying. It is also 5 minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, shopping etc. I haven't found a better value in all of my trips to the Orlando area. To top it all off, the owner and property manager were very pleasant, prompt in responding, and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend this condo, and will hopefully be returning to it myself soon.

Nice and clean property near theme parks
The property was clean and is located at a nice location about 30-35 minutes from the Disney and Universal studio parks. Our overall stay was pleasant. On our 2nd day of stay someone entered the house keeping the door open , this is not acceptable at all . We should have been communicated regarding the planned maintenance activity if that was the reason for someone entering the house. Even though none of our items were touched , it posed a security concern for us. Property manager or emergency contact for this property were not reachable and did not resolve our security concerns. Such incidents did not repeat during our stay. I may book this property again for it’s cleanliness and close proximity to the theme parks.

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. Unfortunately some of the comments are not accurate. I contacted you four times on the day that you left the message (6.33am, 12.31pm, 3.03pm and finally 5.41pm). It would not of been possible for anyone to enter the apartment as the only key holders would of been yourself and the property manager. As a matter of course the property manger visited the apartment the next morning to change the key code, you were advised of this but chose not to respond. On visiting the apartment she found that the lock box code had not, as recommended been dialled round (so as not to show the four digit access code). I believe that on the day in question the front door to the apartment hadn't been closed correctly by the guest and remained that way until the guest returned in the evening. We have owned this apartment for 11 years and have never had a circumstance like this, the security of our guests is of paramount importance.

Communication with Property owner was excellent - he worries about our upcoming stay and provide update of every queries. Location - “Tuscana Resort Orlando by Aston” is located near Champions Gate was very unreachable due to heavy traffic and we were stuck more than 30 minutes in extra traffic just before the exit. Overall apartment is maintained in good condition by the owner but the community surrounding is normal and needs more upgrade to light up the community and path to apartment.

Nice place. Would stay again.
The condo was great. Getting into the condo and checking in was extremely easy. It was very clean, which I greatly appreciated. The queen bed in the master bedroom was lower to the ground than I was expecting, but I didn’t mind. My only complaint is there weren’t any wash cloths in the condo. We ended up going to Walmart and purchasing a cheap $3 pack of them. Other than that, everything was great and we would book again.

Terrible place
Hallam - We arrived to this property on March 1st around 9pm, the property was clean but not as I expected, the kitchen was Dirty and smelled of grease. The next day we get back around 9pm, by the time we gets there the AC unit wasn’t working, I called the owners but they don’t answer, I when to the front office to ask if someone where in the apartments and remove something from the AC thermostat but they wasn’t able to help me because this is a private owner. I called Vrbo customer service and the person leaving on hold for 30 minutes because the owner never answer. So we slept that night without AC in Florida with more than 70degrees and we were very disappointed with this reservation because was my daughter’s birthday and we were forced to leave because of the bad conditions, in top of this, I don’t understand how they can rent this apartment for peoples special for children with mold everywhere.

Firstly the guest was advised prior to check in that as we live in the UK we have a property manager in the local area for our apartment. If guests have any concerns whilst on vacation they should contact them directly. The property manager had no contact from this guest. The guest did contact us but sadly this was at 3.12am (UK time) . A response was them sent at 5.50am by us. The guest replied to say that the batteries had been removed from the AC (the AC doesn't have batteries). Two more messages were sent by us but sadly no response from the guest was received. We can only help if guests respond to our messages. At no point was the cleanliness of the apartment mentioned to us. If this had been reported we would have addressed this without delay. We would always encourage guests to follow the guide on check to ensure that any concerns are dealt with in a timely manner. This review does not represent the service levels that we offer

Good property, but things to know before you travel.....
We booked this rental as we were taking the kids to Disney/Universal for winter break. Let me preface by stating that in general, the property was just fine. However, I feel it is important to point out some things for other travelers looking to book: 1) The area of Champions Gate has all the essentials (gas, grocery, dining), however it is EXTREMELY traffic congested. If you are traveling to the parks note that it will take you 30+ minutes to get to Disney, and upwards of 40 minutes to get to Universal - regardless of the time of day. The interstate (I-4) is congested for no apparent reason, and the exit backs up onto the interstate. We left Univeral one night at 9:30 and it still took 40+ minutes to get home b/c of traffic. 2) The HVAC unit sit right outside of the master bedroom. VERY loud. 3) If you are staying more than a day or 2 make sure you bring essentials. When the booking states they give you a starter set of essentials, you get the very bare minimum. No paper towels, a tiny (and I mean tiny) bar of hand soap for the bathrooms, no hand soap in the kitchen, and no laundry detergent which is problematic since they request you start the laundry prior to your departure. 4) As another traveler mentioned, there is not enough towels for a family of 4. Be prepared to wash during your stay or bring your own. 5) The lock on the front door is very hard to open. It got to be quite frustrating. We had issues with the security lock and required assistance, i.e. the security lock got engaged while we were outside of the unit and could not get back in. The maintenance folks were fantastic as was Karen (the property manager).

I absolutely loved staying here. The place was so spacious and had most of everything I need. It would have been nice to been given some laundry detergent since we have to do laundry before we leave. Also, the lockbox is terrible. I couldn’t get it open for about 45 minutes. I was by myself, starving, tired and just wanted to get inside after a terribly long day of traveling. The lockbox was really hard to open. Other than the lockbox, I had a wonderful stay! I would definitely stay here again!

Unfortunately the cleanliness of the place was not what I expected.
The main problems were cleanliness and lack of security. The shower, bathroom wall, appliances, etc, all look as though they haven’t been carefully cleaned in quite sometime. The day we arrived I immediately noticed that the bed in the master bedroom looked as though the bedding wasn’t changed. The headboard had a gaping hole at its base so pillows fall through it during the night. The carpet also could use a thorough cleaning as well. Another alarming issue was the security gate at the entrance of the property was frequently left open. We noticed how people would just come and go without having to swipe a card for access and when it was closed, we saw cars stopped waiting for a car to swipe for access only to drive in ahead of that car. The parking lot also has virtually no lighting at night. This poses a security concern for anyone simply walking at night. In all this is not a location I would recommend.

Lovely Condo & Property
We had an amazing time and really enjoyed staying at this condo. The property was lovely! We selected this property originally as a place to lay our heads at night because we can down to the area to visit with family for Thanksgiving. We were planning on spending a lot of time at the condo, however we found ourselves in for the day two out of the four days we were there. The condo was very clean and fully functional! The comfort in this home was remarkable for all of our family. Our boys enjoyed watching TV in the living room and slept on the sofa bed each night. The extra pillows and linens came in handy! The kitchen was large and equipped with everything you would need. We didn’t get a chance to cook while here, however if we had chosen to do so we would’ve been set! The bathrooms were large and comfortable for all. We were also able to wash clothes as needed. The owner was amazing from the beginning, great communication the entire time! Clear instructions were provided and every detail clearly communicated! I would definitely book this property when visiting the area in the future! Thank you so much Lynn & Simon!!!

Great location, minor issues
Some pros and cons of our stay: Pros: - great location near freeway and theme parks - seamless key retrieval and communication with Lynn - apartment is ground floor and right by the pool, very clean as well. Cons: - gate card never worked even though the front office rekeyed it multiple times yet it worked to get in the pool. - the mattress on the sofa bed and the 2nd bedroom were horrible. I could feel the springs and see the mattress sinking in. - missing miscellaneous kitchen items scissors and cutting board. - depending upon who rents the unit upstairs you will either have a quiet experience or you will hear feet stomping and/or a dog running back and forth all night.

Overall, this was a fantastic property. Quiet, extremely convenient to everything, gorgeous pool area, secure- can not say enough. Lynn was very responsive, and any questions or concerns we had were answered within hours. In terms of location- it's a bit of a tricky spot to stay out without a car. It's just under a mile to even get out of the gated community which is where your closest amenities are. There are plenty of restaurants, but not much in terms of things to do other than a few salons. Overall, the property is superb, but definitely bring a car if you're planning to go far! $20-30 Ubers into Orlando can add up quick.
