    FRONT OF UNIT
    Jay P.

    If you are ever traveling to Orlando and need a place to stay aside from your typical hotels, then this is not a bad option to look into, especially if you are looking to stay with a couple or more families. Prices (if split between families) are very reasonable. I rented a 3 bedroom unit with Private Jacuzzi option (6 adults, 6 kids). The other option you can get is a Private Pool. The unit is well sized, clean and well furnished, comes with washer & dryer and a dishwasher.   This Resort is located in the Kissimmee (192) area. It is a gated Resort that has amenities such as Pool, Gym, Restaurant/Bar, etc. Also a short drive away from shopping and restaurants such nearest Publix, Super Target, Hooters, Five & Below, McDonalds, gas station, etc. Conveniently located, just minutes away from Disney and most theme parks. Friendly and accommodating staff.   Also, just a tip. You are responsible for hauling your trash to the nearest garbage bin/compactor inside rhe resort, and to be fair, this is emphasized and you are advised of this by the Front Counter staff during time of check-in.   Well, this could have been a 5 Star rating, but I decided to give it a 4 Star rating because the Gate keypad entrance was problematic and really needs to be looked into. The gate somehow has a short cycle and closes right away. I have seen lines of cars forming outside the gate where cars are just waiting to get in. I've witnessed the gate closing before the car could even make it to the gate, forcing the car to stop, wait for the gate to fully close and await for the next person to let them in. I too, was a victim of early gate closure. It was frustrating, while comical at times. I had to laugh off my frustrations lol. Grrrr !!!

    Missing rug, dvd player, surround sound and remote batteries looks like I was robbed.

    Was not Cleaned properly, unit was very dusty lights were covered in bugs and dust. Needle fell on my arm when I first opened the freezer thank God it was capped but still what if and management could care less, all she was was "oh sorry". Ice make didn't work and fridge froze anything on the top shelf and the door, also always had a pool of water in the fridge. Showed the office my concerns and they said "I shouldn't expect it to be perfectly clean but it would be clean to their standards" so when I asked why I paid a premium for a half ass cleaning, she said my expectations might be to high. Unit was called a upgraded unit but it didn't have batteries in either of the remotes, no DVD player or sound system but had speakers on the walls. The rug was missing and furniture was heavly worn. No placemats on the table and dishes looked dingy, we rewashed everything just to be safe. Bed felt like 2 box springs staked up and the carpet was heavily worn. We were only given 3 towels 2 hand towels and one wash rag in the whole unit and we never got anymore, also no beach towels for hot tub use. The lake view was a joke at the end of a nearly dried up pond in the back corner of the property, but the picture showed the unit to be around the main pond and that is where we were expecting for the higher price. The hot tub was so warn the buttons didn't work and most of the jets were worn with worn out paint and finish and they didn't refill it so it could be used till our last day. Told the office twice and a maintenance guy with a clip board twice as well that said some one would come fix my issues, but no one ever showed up. Bought my own batteries and an assortment of towels to use instead of the lack of the ones left for us. Also spent $200 at target and bought a mattress topper so we could get some sleep during our 10 day stay. We have stayed here multiple time in the past and it has been a degrading experience since our first stay and we won't be back. I get the whole covid thing is restricting what can be open but they still charge $20 a day for use of almost nothing that there are charging for. Also the cleaning fee is new from our previous visits, which I think is a joke as anything over counter height is not cleaned and is covered in dust. The whole unit smelled musty as the stains on all the furniture, curtains and headboard had a stain to them from the sanitizer.

    Electric kettle. Blender.

    Check-in was fairly simple. The front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. There is a cafeteria style dining area in the main lobby, as well as a counter for attraction tickets. Take note, this is a very large property. They will give you a map to help guide you to your villa. What I DO NOT understand is why they decided to use the same address numbers in different parts of the property. My first stop was at the wrong villa with the same address as the one I got. SMH!! First impression entering the villa took my breath away. It was spacious, clean, and had a modern decor. I had a 2 BR / 3 Bath w/ hot tub on the lanai. Six people could have easily stayed here and been very comfortable. The only thing the kitchen seemed to be missing was a corkscrew. So that bottle of wine I picked up ended up coming home with me. :-( I found the furniture to be in pretty clean and new condition. I did not see any stains or have uncomfortable mattresses as some other reviewers experienced. I found everything to be decently comfortable overall. The king bed in the master bedroom afforded me a good night's sleep. The shower had excellent water flow and got hot fairly quickly. The unit had two identical showers, one in each bedroom. Also, the 2nd bedroom had two twin beds. The bedroom furniture was basic, but in good shape. Each bedroom also had a walk-in closet which allowed me to store my luggage out of sight. I did not utilize any of the pool areas during my stay, so I can't really comment on those. I did use the hot tub once which I found to be very relaxing. The lights in the hot tub were not functional, and the button for the light also looked like it had been damaged by a previous guest. The general location of the property is excellent. There are many restaurants nearby, as well as gift shops, pharmacies, vape shops, Walmart, etc. There is a 7-Eleven about 4 blocks away, as well as a McDonald's next door to it. Both great for late-night cravings. It's also very close to the Disney parks. Now that I've told you about all the good points.... It's time to get to the not so great things. 1. Many of the lighting fixtures in the villa had the coiled fluorescent bulbs in them which take about 5 minutes to reach their maximum brightness. So when you first turn them on you get little to no light from them. So unless you have excellent night vision, I would recommend leaving the bathroom light on at night and just close the door because the light coming out of these bulbs was like candlelight when first turned on unless you waited it out. 2. The entry door had 2 issues. Firstly, there was a backstop piece at the top which was broken and just flopped around. The wall was damaged where it was supposed to rest at, which seemed as if a previous guest flung the door open in a very forceful way. The second issue with the entry door was that it was also damaged at the bottom left when looking at it from the inside. It seemed as if the bottom corner was crushed. It was either compressed or broken off by whatever had caused the damage. So whatever small critters wanted to come inside were more than able to.... And did they ever!!! My first night there, I battled several flip-flop sized cockroaches that gained access via the damaged entry door corner. I literally watched them come in about 30 min apart. I sat in the kitchen area watching the door for about 2 hours. I finally decided to drive back to the store and buy some bug spray. I also bought several eggs of Silly Putty to fill the gap after I sprayed it. Each morning I would remove the putty and then replace it at dusk once I was back for the night. I am NOT a fan of anything with more legs than myself!!! 3. Neither TV remote worked. So I picked up some batteries at the store and replaced the bedroom remote batteries. Still nothing. Then I went to replace the living room batteries and they were both different brands, oozing battery acid from them. The contacts in the remotes were all corroded. I tried to put new batteries in it, but the contacts needed a wire brush to get the corrosion off. 4. On my day of checkout, housekeeping was knocking on the door at 9am and poking their head in before I even answered the door asking if I was leaving soon. (LOCK YOUR DOOR AT ALL TIMES!!) Mind you checkout is at 10am ($125 extra for a 1pm late checkout). By 9:15 another housekeeping guy was on the lanai hosing it down. I found this to be very annoying and pushy when I still had 45 minutes before I had to depart. Not to mention, I was still in just my boxers when I noticed the guy on the lanai. Definite invasion of my privacy. If I were female, I would have called the police. No one should be entering your rental space during your stay unless it's an emergency. They may as well have just walked right in. Unreal! Overall, while it had it's ups and downs, I don't believe I would EVER recommend it or stay here again based on my experience as a whole. :-(

    We rented a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom townhouse. It had a private pool, washer/dryer, & a dishwasher. The house was for 9 people, 6 kids & 3 adults so it worked out well for us. When we arrived our code to get in the house didn't work. We had to call the office and they sent maintenance to assist us which was handled quickly. The pool kept our kids busy & very happy. No complaints about The property except the garbage area. They expect you to haul garbage blocks away. We had to put the nasty garbage in our car to get it to the garbage area. Totally ridiculous!!!! They need trash bins closer to each end of the townhomes.

    The front desk lady is LAZY ! She has the worst costumer service i have ever came across . Every time i come to get my mail she is fiddling with her phone with a piles of mail every where . Then tells me "oh i haven't gotten to the mail yet " if it was up to me ! She would be FIRED !! Poor management is an understatement.!

    Private pools

    We rented a property through VRBO and were very pleased with the property as a whole. They are a gated community of 2-4 bedroom townhomes. Some along a beautiful pond. There is plenty parking. Most of the units have private pools or hot tubs which is so nice. However, there is also a great clubhouse which holds 2 pools and 2 hottubs, a play area, a gym, a small arcade, and a restaurant/bar which also caters to the pool area for snacks and drinks. They have a daily happy hour which is a nice thing to take advantage while you sit at the pool and the staff is very friendly. I know these townhomes are owned by different owners so they're all managed differently but the one we stayed in was very well kept and when the bed literally fell out from underneath us one night, our owner got someone over there to fix and and took care of us for the inconvenience. It was pretty funny how it went down and because our owner from CANADA was able to get someone out there same day I feel that does reflect on the management of CLC. So overall I really enjoyed our stay here. The best property I've stayed off of Disney property. So close to a lot of great shopping and restaurants and a short 5 min drive to hit Disney. We loved it so much we purchased a unit of our own!

    gross white stuff all over headboard

    The townhouse was so dirty. Carpet was stained, not vacuumed at all, trash on patio and in hot tub, stains on the sheets, hair still on the sheets of multiple beds, boogers wiped on the lamp, something spilled/stained on fabric headboard, hair floating in hot tub. We were scheduled to stay 5 nights and asked to cancel since it was so dirty. They still charged us for 1 night and the full cleaning fee.

    I'm 80 years old and have medically advised not to travel and this resort will not work with my family in honoring a credit for future travel. This whole situation is very costly and unsettling. Unfortunately, I was looking forward to my trip and on a fixed income this $500 loss will prevent us from visiting in the near future!

    Sitting in the hot tub! Enjoying a nice rest!

A few small things to consider- do not expect world class paddle boards, there is one SUP paddle that functions and two old paddle boards- kayaks seemed ok. The walk to the beach does require crossing a busy road, but once there it IS a nice beach, but you must bring all your own gear, including beach towels. There are not any beach rental chairs, etc. nearby. The wifi did not seem to work for us, the fan in the spare bedroom had a short apparently so my first night trying to sleep, it got up to 78 degrees in the room as we could not adjust the temp on the thermostat, the couch is not comfortable, the streaming buffered, so it took a couple hours to get that to work, there is a neighboring house with a large dog barking and although they warn you, I find it strange for the nightly price ($336/night!) to offer a small soap and shampoo. There is a washer, no dryer. The blankets were thin, beds were decent and the place was clean. There are no screens on any of the windows so you can't really get fresh air and there was a wasp nest above our bathroom window so definitely didn't want to leave a window ajar while showering. There is a "no refund" policy, so you are stuck there as we had wanted to check out after our first of two nights. There are not any walkable restaurants nearby. We were offered a couple of free nights to make up for all the mishaps we had. All in all, there were nice chairs and solitude by their water's edge. I could see a family enjoying the grounds and playing the outdoor games they had, but for us it was a letdown for the price. I think some people would be perfectly happy here but we had a lot of stress upon check-in and so many things not working properly.

    Safety NOT First at Disney?…read more It's midnight on day 1 of our 13 person biennial vacation with extended family and the fire alarm for our hotel just went off. My family, as well as the large group of guests that we evacuated with, ended up with traumatic experiences for our kids, a crowded/dangerous escape route, and an impression that safety came second here at Disney World. Upon hearing the fire alarm, my wife and I grabbed our still sleeping kids and headed to the closest stairway for our 4th floor room. The stairway was backed up with the large number of other people attempting to use it and it was here, where in addition to the loud repetitive klaxon alarm, we first heard an automated message repeatedly announcing "An emergency has been identified in the building." This seemed to give what was happening a bit more urgency and pushing among the group. When we eventually managed to evacuate from the hotel, we were met with a large group of guests standing immediately outside the building in the 41 degree temperatures with their own crying kids and no hotel employees. The group started moving away from the building, and a few minutes later, started getting sprayed by landscaping sprinklers that were set on timers. ~10 minutes after the fire alarm started, the only employees we did see outside were a person hosing down the pool area and an employee leaving the closed for the night Geyser Point Bar and Grill carrying what looked like a bag of food for themselves. The "friends," standing outside of the loud flashing building in the cold with their crying kids, were now none of their concern and not as important as their food or pool washing duty. About 15 minutes after the alarm started, people started hunkering down at the Raging Forks Bar and Grill when the first employee showed up and very quietly informed us that the fire department was enroute and to hang out. A separate employee came to turn on the heat lamps but before those worked, we were allowed back into the hotel. My disappointment isn't that there was a midnight fire alarm, it's that as people's kids were having a scary experience at "the happiest place on earth," Disney rather than showcasing their contingency training and focus on their "friends," was quiet as a mouse.

From the moment we arrived to when we left, everything was really well done. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which set the tone right away. They have a buffet for breakfast and lunch with a good variety of options, so I feel like most people could find something they like. There are also smaller stands with snacks, pizza, and ICEE stations. Now let's talk about the drinks. There is just something about a frozen daiquiri when you're by the water. Highly recommend getting the drink package and trying a few... or all of them if you can handle it. I loved how many different areas there were to explore. Seeing dolphins swimming so close to the beach was actually kind of magical. They also have a monkey island which I was really excited about. It was closed when we got there, but I could still see them from a distance and I loved that. The aviary was really cool too. Tons of birds, but also tons of people. They recommend going first thing when the birds are most active, which we did, but so did everyone else. We got there about 45 minutes after opening and the birds already seemed a little over it. Honestly, I don't blame them. The Grand Reef was such a cool experience. I didn't really know what to expect, and even though it's man made, it still feels really immersive. Some of those rays are huge and have zero fear. They will swim right into you. My guy had never experienced anything like that and he loved it. I also liked that there were shallow areas and deeper sections if you wanted more of a snorkeling feel. The only downside for us was the Wind Away River. There are spots that get deep really fast, and that day they were apparently out of floaties because people were hoarding them and claiming areas. Staff even acknowledged it, which was frustrating because nothing was being done about it. It made parts of the river harder to enjoy than they should have been. Other than that, everything else was great and it made for such a fun day. Also the bar swings were a highlight. Loved those.

There were tons of people that were from out of town that looked tired, especially after going through airport securities/travel from their states and looked like they just wanted to get their room and go to sleep, but it seemed that there was no urgency from staff. They didn't look short staffed, but I saw other staff standing around with no lines at their kiosk with multiple areas for them to step in at check in- Which tells me that there needs to be some cross training encouraged to help their processing. Fun Fact: I rode two rides at Universal with my fast pass faster than checking in to our room. Room was clean, view was nice. We stayed on the top floor with the view of one of the pools, which was nice but I had not so much of a good first night due to the AC in the room not working properly and I'm a hot sleeper so I did not sleep well. I did address the issue in the morning and let the staff know about my issue and that I was gonna be gone for the day and they did fix my issue right away. The food was surprisingly mediocre, and they have four different restaurants you can eat from and we went to three of them, which seems to be the same style of food just spread out. The first night I had a Smashburger it looked very delicious, but then I found myself putting on basic ingredients on my burger, salt and pepper. If I did not, it would have not had any seasoning. The second night I went to the Brazilian steak eatery and as far as a quick steak to get, it was very delicious and they serve it with mashed potatoes and gravy, which was really delicious. I would recommend eating your meals at least for dinner there if you're going to eat in the in the resort. If you're looking cocktails, they have them and they're very delicious. Prices are high, but you get a quality drink. I think I just had a bad experience. I don't feel that everybody encounters what I encountered when they visit, but I would have given a 3 star rating if it wasn't for how convenient it is to get to the park, there's a shuttle that picks you up every 10 minutes and drops you off and when you're done at the park, it picks you up and takes you right back to the hotel. Beats paying $50 a day for parking at the parks, but you still have to pay for parking with your room which is significantly less. All-In-all it was good, but not great for my experience, I will probably attend a different resort next time, but as a local in Florida, we have that choice.

There is no restaurant or bar on site, but there are some close by with a 5 to 10 drive. The staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. We were able to head to the beach while we waited to get our room, since we were early. There are loungers and chairs at the beach and it is first come first serve. The same applies to the pool. All rooms have ocean view, but our room was the one closest to the street, so we didnt get the same view as the ones up front. They have 2nd floor and a ground level rooms. The rooms are remodeled with an ocean theme, making it welcoming and getting that vacation feel. I did nit give it a 5 star due to the ac and all the humidity that you can feel at night. Not sure if it was our ac or just being too close to the beach that it was super stuffy, smelled a bit like mildew and it was uncomfortable to sleep. It is pricey, specially during the holidays but a nice hotel with an awesome beach
