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.

Convenient location to the convention center and the perfect space for 3 adults. Gayle was amazing to work with, very responsive and helpful during our stay.

We had to be at the convention center for 4 days. This was conveniently located and worked well for our family of 4.

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.

We were in town to visit Universal for 3 days. We were a 4-10 min ride from the parks depending on traffic. Ubers found us easily. Wal mart just down the street was very convenient for park snacks! We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great location to Orange County Convention Center and parks. Close to Walmart for supplies. The condo is like photos with the exception of the appearance of size of living room and kitchen space. We had two adults and a teen and we were glad we didn’t have to share the space. Bedrooms are good size. The furniture could be updated/deep cleaned as well as the carpet. The bathrooms were clean! I will say we missed having a pool. The area around the condos was a bit dark and the condo next door is marked uninhabitable. We felt safe, but found those things questionable. All in all, the price and location could not be beat and we were only there to sleep.

I loved the ease of access, the extra parking spot, two full bathrooms, the pool access, and the very clear, easy to understand, instructions that Gayle leaves in a welcome booklet. Aside from the neatly folded towels and hotel style toiletries, you feel like you're living in your own home, rather than a hotel room, or a hostel, which some rental homes have the tendency to do. And the fact that there's a really decent Walmart right around the corner helps, to stock up on supplies for the longer stay. The only drawbacks are minor. The stove is a little outdated, one of the glass shower doors won't close, the TV remotes are unprogrammed universal remotes, and the cable box in the upstairs bedroom would not work. But the good outweighs the not-so-good by a wide margin. I would highly suggest staying here if your frequenting the convention center or vacationing at Disney and Universal. It is close and accessible to everything in that area. A 10 out of 10 place to stay, all the way.

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!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We visited both Disney and Universal, and this was convenient to both. The apartment itself is not huge but is very nice and suited us well. We saw the Sea World fireworks over the lake and enjoyed walks around the property. Be sure to use the fan as directed upstairs because it helps keep it cool!

Most of the time we spent in the parks. The condo's location is great for that purpose. When we're done with the parks, it was impossible to have a dinner together for 2 adults and 3 kids at the condo, due to the very small space to sit and absents of the kitchen essentials. Also, the kitchen sink is in a very weird spot. Outside the condo, there're piles of dirt that didn't look attractive and abandoned property next door was kind of telling us it's own story:( Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

I stayed for 5 weeks and worked during the week. I don't recommend doing this for anyone else. The condo has DSL and the best speed I ever got was 3 Mbps download and 0.25 Mbps upload. My Sprint cell service was right around the same speed. So it was very difficult to work. Gayle was nice enough to allow me to work from her office but I work from home so that I can actually work from home. She said the unit will get cable internet within a few months, but that didn't help me. Another issue I had was the bad kitchen layout. The sink is in the corner which makes it uncomfortable to wash dishes. I saw 2 roaches during my stay. I think they get in because the seals around the front and back door aren't adequate and there are large gaps. The upstairs bedroom is much warmer than downstairs. That is probably to be expected but just be aware. I'd recommend staying here if you're going to the theme parks all day and just need a place to relax and sleep afterward. It's not for someone who plans on being in the condo all day every weekday.

This was the perfect spot for our time in Orlando. We met friends from Texas and we are from Ohio. What a great time to sit and relax and enjoy catching up. Just minutes away from every park and other than being exhausted, loved every moment there. Gayle is great to work with and She even smchecked on us after an incident that did not affect us, what a host! Thank you and we will be in touch when we decide to return in a couple years.

I stayed here with my sister and a couple friends to go to the universal and Disney for a few days. It was an ideal location but that was about the only good thing about it. They had dog hair in the beds that were supposed to be clean. They had an assortment of bugs in the upstairs and downstairs rooms. The air ventilation was also seriously off for the upstairs loft bedroom. It was easily 15 degrees warmer no matter what temperature you put the thermostat on while the downstairs was freezing. I will say I didn’t contact the manager about these issues while staying here, I just dealt with it and told her about it after the fact. She did give me a small partial refund for the unpleasantness of the entire experience, hence the 2/5 stars.

A functional space for a small group with laundry facilities on site. Tastefully decorated with lovely bathrooms. Lack of pool and limited internet made the stay a bummer, but there was a splash park 10 minutes away.
