As advertised
House was clean and spacious with comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. The game room with pool and darts was fun and the pool and hot tub were refreshing. The only fault on my part was that I did not read that heating the pool was an extra charge. The heater on heats the hot tub which spills into the pool so the pool did not heat up as much as we would have liked.Overall, good place to stay.

The house, pool and hot tub were great. The house had every thing we needed to have an enjoyable time. Communication with the owner was very good. The house is in a great location for any of the Disney theme parks, and many other attractions. The neighborhood is nice, but the road in front of the house is very busy. Some vehicles/motorcycles were very loud, which was noticeable when trying to sleep. Other than that it's a very nice place to stay!

Arrogant property management.
The proper manager was very arrogant. Talked down to us and was not helpful. We asked for light bulbs the first day of our vacation as the bedrooms and dining room had bulbs burnt out. The pool and spa heat was payed by us in advance and only had spa heat 4 of our 8 day stay. We called the manager and he came down and was very rude and said the heat for the spa is shut down at 9pm. Which was a lie as the owner explained that spa heat would be turned on as per use by us and would take about 30 mins to heat. After several calls to the owner as well as the manager of the property. Miraculously the spa started to work properly. It was very upsetting and time taken from our lovely vacation time spent talking with someone that thought he was pulling the wool over our eyes. Very disappointing. And the whole time we were there no light bulbs were brought to the house even though the property manager was there twice.

Wonderful property in close proximity to attractions
We had a large group consisting of 4 adults and six children and loved our stay on this property. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the home was close to shopping, dining, and Disney. The pool and hot tub were great and the covered patio quickly became our favorite hangout spot. The game room with couches and pool table was a close second. My only complaint was that the air conditioner could not be lowered below 74 degrees and the game room (located in the enclosed garage) did not have air, which meant that the door between the house and garage needed to stay open to maintain a livable temperature. My husband is very hot-natured and our personal home (3600 sq. ft) typically stays between 66-68 degrees in the summer, so this was an adjustment for us; however, I do understand keeping costs down and also the risk of having guests continually adjust the thermostat. Most of our crew said they would have felt more comfortable if the temp were at least a few degrees cooler, but again, this was our only complaint. We would definitely stay again and just bring a few fans next time!

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jan 2024
Thank you for your wonderful review and scoring us another consistent 5 star review. The separate downstairs and upstairs Air Con Thermostats are set within an Industry set range and can't go any lower on a consistent basis as they would eventually cause damage to the A/C unit, as they're not designed for sub 70 use temps. Even at the lowest temp of 72 especially with the ceiling fans on (as there's at least one fan in every room) feels cold. Maybe you had the Temp low but the fan on the heat setting rather than cold setting, as no one has ever mentioned about bringing fans with them. The large garage which has been a games room since day one is fully carpeted with the same carpet as throughout the home with the same thick cushioning memory foam underlay and is designed for the inter connecting door to be left open (or closed, guest choice) as the downstairs heat within the home is then consistent in each room (via the A/C ceiling/wall vents) as the A/C unit will kick in when required to do so.. We look forward to you staying with us again (as mentioned) in the near future.

We wanted to stay much longer....😢
We have stayed at Bellavida in this very property once before and, as then, were blown away at just how awesome it was during our entire stay. It is in a secure gated community, beautifully sited on a boulevard with the pool/rear deck looking out in total privacy over a tree filled nature reserve-ish land. The property is beautifully laid out, immaculately clean and had all we needed for our arrival prior to doing a little food shopping at the WalMart a few minutes down the road, but far enough away to not be heard. Traveling to Bellavida and accessing the villa was easy and smoothe and Tony was, as before, very quick to respond whenever we needed to contact him which was just to confirm one or two items regarding our upcoming departure. Beds were super comfy, it was just unfortunate that we only had two "mong" (rest-up) days to fully enjoy the property as a home and relax in the jacuzzi/pool. Also we did not have the opportunity to use the clubhouse and large zero-entry pool sited there. This will be first choice on our return as it is circa 20min drive from the parks (c35mins to Universal Studios)and just great to return to after the many a-hectic days out. I just hope that it will be available then. Many thanks Tony & Jackie for helping to make this and the previous trips to Orlando that extra special. 😁👏

Wow! Even beter in real life...
Dealing with the owner was a breeze from start to finish. Nothing was too much hassle. The property is even more beautiful in reality, pictures dont do it justice. Everything was perfect and the attention to detail like little bottles of shampoo to get you started until you can get to shops was a welcome treat. Plenty of towels provided too. Beds were very comfortable also. The area is very secure and the gate staff were lovely. There is a massive Walmart 2 mins drive away which was super handy and a chik fila which my girla loved. (Other places were close by but this was one of their faves) The location was 30mins drive to all parks pretty much and was easy to navigate especially just using google maps on our phone. If you are planning a visit to Florida, I would recommend this villa 100% and will be back myself as soon as I get the funds for another trip. Thanks Tony for letting us share your wonderful home.

Glad you found the home a cool and good place to stay. The home was updated and upgraded 18 months ago, so i'm not sure about the furniture being a little dated as all of our reviews over the last 18 months, mention how up to date and upgraded our home is, compared to similar homes.

Worked well for our property
The property worked well for our family. It was nicely decorated and felt very comfortable. My recommendations is to have more towels and washcloths for our family of 6 there was only 8 sets which meant some extra washing. Also while the pool was very nice the bottom really needs a good scrubbing. Over all it was a nice property and we would stay again.

Good to hear you had a great time and would stay again. The Pool is cleaned weekly and there is an additional towel cupboard (various sizes) by the Master bedroom (mentioned in the Villa access instructions) to support all of the towels already placed in all 4 of the en-suite bathrooms as well.

Absolutely perfect
If your looking for a base to do Disney, universal and/or sea world parks, then this is the place to stay!!! Location is perfect, 15 mins to Disney, 20 mins to universal, 500 yards from a massive Walmart…just over an hour to Kennedy space centre. Gated security giving you peace of mind while your out exploring for the day. The villa was exactly as advertised, very clean, spacious, massive tv to watch your favourite team win on(or in my case ….loose😔) Pool area was great to relax in at the end of full on days, not overlooked by anyone. Right from the first enquiry, responses were really quick and answered every question. Next time we decide to visit Orlando area, this will be the first villa I check for availability

Exactly what we needed.
We were traveling with our adult kids and spouses. It was wonderful that everyone had their own bathroom! The house was clean, with updated paint and carpet. It was well stocked with the basic necessities. There were also strollers, pack n plays, and a high chair there. We didn't need those things during our stay, but as a mom, I appreciate the host provided them. We spent most of our time during the day at the theme parks, but it was a great space to relax in the evenings. Within 20 to 30 minutes of everything, with a grocery store very close by. Super easy check in and check out. All details were clearly communicated. We would definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable
The Tinkerbell house was a great fit for our family. We would definitely recommend it for your visit. The open kitchen/ living room was perfect for our group of 6. The large (85"?) TV was great for movie night. The dining table easily fit all of us for meals. The rooms were all good sized. Each has it's own bathroom so it made mornings flow easily. The pool and spa area was also very nice. We paid for heat and didn't regret it. It was a life saver to spend 20 minutes in the hot tub after a day walking at the parks. There were a couple minor issues but the property managers were responsive and took care of everything. Expect it to take a little extra time coming and going. Some of the intersections might take 4-5 minutes to get through and it adds up when you have a few of those on your way.

We stayed a this house for a month. The pool was beautiful. The house has been newly updated. The property has a woods behind it so it gave more privacy & blocked any possible wind. Full sun in the morning & shade in the afternoon. It was within walking distance (1/2 mile) to Walmart. We like to ride bikes & we could ride them to Shingles Creek Trail (1 mile) from the house on the side walks the whole way. Nice place to ride bike, walk, or rent Kayaks. It is a perfect location. Disney World & the other Parks we’re within a 20 min drive. Shopping was everywhere. Tony, the owner was wonderful to work with. The HOA does not allow boats, so Tony, the owner & property manger Ashok went above & beyond to find us a place to keep our boat. I would highly recommend this property & would come back in a heartbeat.

Its needs a little love
I'll be honest it needs a good deep cleaning, carpet and the living room furniture are very tired. The bedding was knotty, and the master bedroom comforter had some gross stains on it. One of the twin beds is broken. If you come late and the guard at the gate is gone its a headache to get in the neighborhood. The screening in the pool area was ripped so animals could get in. It would have been nice to know when the pool guy was coming. We just went out to swim and he came and chlorinated the pool and said we couldn't swim for a few hours. Had we known he was coming we would have made other plans. The one thing we all had fun with was the intercom. That might have been the best thing about the house.

None of the issues mentioned were reported to our Property Manager at the time and would have been fixed straight away if they were to the level mentioned, as it's a bit pointless mentioning them in a review over 2 months later, after staying with us and saying nothing during or after until now... The Pool and Spa need to be sanitized weekly (generally on a Monday) to keep it clean and safe to use for all Guests, (does require 1-2 hours of non use afterwards) especially during these Covid times (as the home is sanitized before/after use as well) which has made Maintenance and Spares to repair not as easy to obtain or schedule to complete, but fortunately it has now improved for all Florida homes as conditions gradually improve all the time and the home is also being updated and upgraded in the next couple of weeks, (by ourselves as the Owners in person) now the US is open again for Global Flying rental visitors into Florida again, after 20 months of being Covid closed...

Thank you for your post stay guest review. The Pool is cleaned and treated weekly as standard and the Grill cleaned after each guest use. Nothing was reported during the guest stay, therefore a score of 3 seems harsh, especially for a home in the guests words, was just as advertised, for a cool vacation rental.
