My family and I just returned from a week at this home and we had a wonderful experience! The house is fantastic! It's clean, well maintained, and laid out nicely for families! The back patio/ pool is also fantastic. We swam literally every day we were there! The location immediately in front of the pond is rather nice as well; it allowed us to hear frogs every night and to very much feel relaxed and as if we were surrounded by the outdoors. The location is convenient to a LOT of different sites around Central FL. Throughout the week, we went to various different places, including Bok Gardens, Disney Village, Celebration, Cocoa Beach (abt 90 mins), and De Soto State Park (St Petersburg, abt 90 mins). All these and more sites are accessible with a short drive from Haines City. Also, there's a Winn Dixie and a Wal Mart literally at the end of the street, with plenty of access to shopping and restaurants all up and down US-27 from the house to I-4.
The house itself however is great! We noted a minor maintenance issue upon arrival late Sunday night and notified the owner via email and called the phone # he left us with and by 9:00 the next morning, the issue was fixed.
I really would recommend this house to anyone looking for a getaway in this region! My only regret was that I didn't get to play any golf all week because of prior commitments.
