About this property

5 MINUTES TO PARKS! Disney Universal SeaW Conv Epic! BEST LOCATION!

  • Sand Lake Village townhome 175 High demand area, quiet & safe near all the excitement! Excellent location for Convention attendees too! A freshly updated interior that has 3 queen beds
    Lovely lake views. Spacious and fun, and where you want to be.

    The 3-night minimum most of the year. Small DOG friendly, no cats. 30 lbs or under. $50/pet/week +refundable pet deposit.
    Free Wireless Internet and parking.

    Convention attendees love this place - 5 mins to the center. Couples and adults like the quiet side peaceful atmosphere by the lake.

    This beautiful townhouse has just been completely updated from top to bottom with lovely furnishings and new everything! Flat screen TVs, pillow-top master bedroom mattress, Corian kitchen counter, wonderful soaring ceilings, fantastic views, and lots of room. Feels like a small home - so much better than a hotel. The location is absolutely awesome. Every guest who has stayed here tells me they LOVE the location.

    Let the fun start at this awesome two-bedroom, two-bath townhome right in the heart of all attractions. This is not out in the middle of nowhere. PRIME LOCATION!

    The large bedroom UPSTAIRS has two luxury queen beds, a walk-in closet, balcony. Three flat-screen TVs. The spacious DOWNSTAIRS bedroom has a private full bath recently updated.

    The living room features a two-story vaulted ceiling, beautiful view of the water, breakfast area, kitchen with a range, oven, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, dishes, glasses, pots/pans.
    SLEEPS six comfortably.

    The resort next door has areas open to the public such as new Draft Bar & Grill restaurant, bakery, deli, espresso bar, grocery, gift shops, ATM, and a full service SPA (wouldn't you love a pedicure after a day in the park?)

    Come down and see the fantastic flowers at Epcot or catch the new train and interactive roller coaster ride at Harry Potter/Universal. Sea World's Discovery Cove ultimate all inclusive day just 1 mile from the property.

    Don't forget canoeing, kayaking or snorkeling, floating down a river in our crystal clear lakes and rivers in nearby state parks or at the water parks. Golf till you drop. Shopping adventures are endless. Mickey and Minnie need you too! Rates are great!

    At this time we do not have a pool but there are FIVE amazing water parks within 10 minutes. You won't find anything like them anywhere else in the country. Absolutely amazing!
    BEST water parks - BRAND NEW incredible water park just opened at Universal, SeaWorld's Aquatica, Disney has Typhoon Lagoon & Blizzard Beach. Discovery Cove, swim with dolphins is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All-inclusive day, expensive and must reserve WELL in advance. Like being in a private park all to yourself. For a day trip, Busch Gardens also has a giant water park, and Daytona Beach water park is across from the boardwalk.

    NEWS! EPIC just opened!! Big new theme park 2 miles. Brand new incredible water park, Volcano Bay now open at Universal 1 mile. Universal has Harry Potter with Midnight Express train between parks, Minions' fun, the new Simpsons Ride, and roller coaster Rock and Ride to music and video. There's a new concert stage at Universal, which is awesome. Harry Potter is a huge success with yummy Butter Beer - you've got to try some.

The townhome was a great value. The location was perfect, as I was attending a conference and enjoying the nearby parks on the weekends. The conference center was about 10 minutes away, as are the Disney, SeaWorld, and other parks. There are many many restaurants close by, as well as supermarkets. The beds are very comfortable and everything we needed for light food preparation was there. If you want to cook more extensively, a full kitchen with all pots, pans, and utensils are there as well. Highly recommended!

Gayle was a fantastic host. We had an issue which wasn't Gayle's fault, but she put in steps to resolve and kept in touch with the resolution as it progressed, and can't fault the service. The location is fantastic for a holiday visiting Disney and Universal parks, as it's situated between the two. The kitchen facilities are basic but perfectly adequate for a holiday focussed on mainly spending your time in the parks, with occasional cooking in the accommodation. Recommended!

Perfect venue for our trip

The location was perfect for our needs: Universal Studios 10 minutes away, the Convention Center (for the Orlando Megacon) 10 minutes away and tons of retaraunts just a quick drive away. The condo was set up for relaxation after busy days exploring and enjoying what Orlando has to offer. Updated bathrooms, comfortable beds and living room furniture along with multiple TV’s. Everything you could ask for in a vacation rental! Gayle was readily available for any questions/concerns. Would definitely not think twice about coming back.

Great location, property needs some attention

Great location for our trip to Disney and Universal. Close to everything. Easy checking in and out. We had some issues with the AC not working the first day and was able to reach thw owner who was responsive and we got it fixed the second night of our stay. Sliding glass door was tough to open and noticed it was leaking during heavy rain. Upon our arrival there were several dead roaches on the floor throughout the condo, I am assuming was just recently treated but would suggest to have that checked and removed before guest check in. That along with the 80 degree heat the first night didn’t make for a great experience. Overall it fit our need for quick access spot to theme parks and owner was responsive. For the price would recommend to stay for a family.

Perfect place for our Disney trip

Handicap accessible first floor bedroom and bathroom with walk in shower! This was great for my parents while myself, husband and daughter stayed in the upstairs bedroom since with 2 beds. The bathroom upstairs was great too. Air conditioning was nice and chilled quick. We didn't cook but it looked like all the things to cook with were there. Great apt size fridge worked for us. There were ice cube trays in the freezer. There was dish soap and sponge. There were starter rolls of TP and paper towels and laundry soap sheets under the sink which came in handy for washing towels during our stay. Some things to note: there were only 4 wash cloths and 5 of us (condo sleeps 6). I wish I would have brought a loofa or extra wash cloths. The laundry is nice but it is a short walk to the laundry room. It is only pay with card, not coins. There is a Keurig machine and a few K-Cups but no sugar or creamer. If that's what you like in your coffee, you can bring cream and sugar. No spices/oils for cooking. Walmart is a super short drive to get those things if you want to do some cooking. We had a great time and enjoyed the stay. I would definitely book this condo or with Gayle White again!!! She is a wonderful host! We were literally 15 minutes away from Disney and Universal! So convenient and comfy! The area seemed safe and we did not have any trouble while we were there. We felt safe walking to do laundry at night and relaxing on the patio in the morning. Beautiful sunset over the lake!

The location was excellent, parking was easy, and we felt safe throughout our stay. The host also provided snacks, and the new recliner was very comfortable. Although we were not given the condo number ahead of time and had to contact the host to get it, that was a minor inconvenience.During our stay, I noticed several maintenance and cleanliness concerns. The maintenance issues included a slow-draining sink in the downstairs bathroom, a leaking shower connection, gaps around the exterior doors, the downstairs bedroom door has an exterior door that did not lock from the inside (potentially for young kids to get out easily), and an upstairs area that was warmer than expected. The cleanliness issues included a very dirty stove and oven (we did not use), cobwebs, mold on the seal of the shower door, bathroom exhaust fan clogged, clutter in the storage areas, unvacuumed stairs, and a live roach in the upstairs bedroom. The host said she took care of all the issues, which I appreciate.The property has a lot of potential because of its location, and I hope the attention to maintenance and cleaning continues for future guests.Also want to add we stayed there in May 2026.

Gayle was an awesome host!! 10/10We slept great, it was so nice to have a fridge and plenty of beds in case family came to see us! The door lock was a really nice plus, as we have a similar set up at home and it feels VERY secureThe only “issues” we had were that it’s really hot in summer, and with no overhead fans in the place, there is little airflow. The a/c was having to overwork I think. It was still comfortable inside, but I run very hot at night and typically need a fan! Additionally, while the place was definitely cleaner than my home () the pillows were a little old, a towel was stained…superrrrr small things that aren’t real issues, but I think would make the stay even better!!!

Gayle was incredible host. She was very responsive, friendly, and very helpful. It is an older development, but the townhouse is very comfortable and a relaxing place to stay. The kitchen was a bit small for cooking, but we made it work. The lakeside walking path was great. We could watch the Disney fireworks every night across the lake, out the back glass doors. The high ceilings made the living area feel very roomy.
