We stayed at this property on October 16, 2015 for 5 nights. The property is beautiful and the home is extremely well maintained. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood and close to shops, restaurants, and a short drive from Disney. Very clean and organized and it's exactly as described. My family absolutely loved this place. It was comfortable enough for the entire family (8 adults and 3 children). The kids absolutely loved the pool and the adults loved the spa just as much. The game room was a perfect for the kids; they enjoyed playing air hockey and winning against their dads! It had everything we needed for our stay. The only disappointment "the guys’ had was that we couldn’t seem to get the cable to work on any of the TV’s, just Netflix, so they weren’t able to watch football games or the news. It only took us about 15 minutes to get to Disney, which was perfect considering we had hopper passes. Sarah was absolutely awesome and helpful by emailing us tips for visiting Disney World, including information on the Disney FastPass+ system and the Halloween events going on during the dates we would be visiting. I would recommend this home to anyone, and we hoping we can make this a yearly adventure. We had a great time! Thank you for the amazing experience! We will be back for sure!

Hi Jennifer, Thanks so much for your lovely review, we're thrilled to know you had such a great time and found the house was a great fit for you all. It's such a shame you didn't let us know about the TVs during your stay, it would have been a very simple and quick fix. You must have thought it odd we provided so many TVs with no TV service!! We have a full cable package with hundreds of channels so you could have watched all the games and news. It was a pleasure having you stay with us and we hope we can make your next visit another great experience! Thanks again, Sarah

Perfect home for our family vacation. Very comfortable, safe, in a nice neighborhood, and great owners to work with.

Owner Response

Thanks for you review Michelle, it was a pleasure having you stay with us and we hope we can welcome you again soon. Best wishes, Sarah

The home was exactly that we were promised and I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to travel to Orlando. The owner and manager of the property where great with many recommendations about the Orlando area and places to see. Very convenient to all the attractions to Disney and restaurants.

Owner Response

Thanks very much for your review, it's great to hear you enjoyed your stay so much and to hear you appreciated the recommendations about our great area. There's plenty more for you to see when you come back next time :) Thanks again, Sarah

The House is very spacious and clean. It has a great location near the parks. The house is amazing. Has a pool and heated jacuzzi. I would definetley stay again on my next visit.

Owner Response

Thanks Silvio. Great to hear you had an incredible vacation and found the house amazing! We hope we can welcome you back again soon. Thanks, Sarah

Our group had a fabulous time at this property. There was more than enough room for 8 of us and perfectly close enough to Disney, but just far enough away to be in a neighborhood area that we loved with great restaurants, grocery stores and services nearby. It has a nice kitchen, a convenient pool area out the back door and was clean and well appointed. We had one little breaker issue that we called the owner about and they sent someone over who resolved the issue in no time! We will definitely be staying there again this next year.

Owner Response

Thanks so much for your lovely review, it was a pleasure having you stay with us and now you've booked your return visit, we look forward to welcoming you once again! Thanks, Sarah & Fran

House was great for our family. Updated, very clean and conveniently located. Owners couldn't have been better hosts. Would highly recommend to others.

Owner Response

Thanks for taking the time to write your review, much appreciated. It was a pleasure having you stay with us and we hope to welcome you again!

our stay at the property was wonderful. The place was very clean, the pool was amazing (warm water) and everything we thought we would be getting, we got! We had a great week with our family at this very private house. Especially loved that no neighbours could peak at the place. Would stay here any time again when visiting Disney

Owner Response

Thanks so much! Good to hear you liked the privacy of the pool and backyard - we love that apsect of the house. The warm pool too - vital in the cooler winter months and the gas heater guarantees that! We heat the pool to 88/89 degrees so it guarantees toasty warm water! We hope we can say hello again soon. Thanks!

We had a fabulous vacation using the House by the Mouse as our home base. The home owners were do helpful answering all our questions before we arrived. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met! The house is wonderfully supplied and worked perfectly for our family of seven. The house is beautifully decorated and everything was clean and tidy. They also have binders with info to give helpful tips and directions to all the attractions throughout central Florida. The house is in a great location, close to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and attractions. Sarah and Fran were great to work with and we would recommend this house to anyone!!!

Owner Response

Thank you Franshesca, it's always a pleasure answering questions in the run up to a vacation, there's a lot of planning for an Orlando vacation! Thanks again, we hope to say hello again someday soon.

Great property thank you

Owner Response

Thank you!

We had an awesome experience at House by the Mouse this past Christmas! Our whole family met up for an unforgettable reunuion and it could not have been more fun. Floor plan was perfect. We loved the pool and spa and sitting out back watching the kids. We had a family tournament on the foosball table...definitely a trip highlight! Location was awesome for the parks, as well as grabbing dinner to go from grocery stores and restaurants...can't wait to go back!

Owner Response

Thanks very much for your review, much appreciated and it was a pleasure having you stay over the Holidays. Great to hear the foosball table was used in such an important event! We hope we can welcome you back soon.

We absolutely loved the house and the neighborhood was very peaceful. The house had everything we needed and then some. The owners think of everything. There is a nice welcome basket and information about everything was really accessible. The game room was alot of fun, there were even board games! We used the pool and hot tub every night. We stayed for 6 days, and it was the best time we have ever had as a family. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. It was immaculately cleaned and just as it appeared in the pictures online. The owners thought of everything!

Owner Response

Thanks very much Jaime! It was a pleasure having you and your family stay and it's great to hear you loved the house so much. You know where we are next time you visit, we'd love to have you back! Thanks again.

Our family had a wonderful time staying at this well appointed and comfortable property. The house was immaculate and well stocked for our stay. It is very convenient to the Disney parks, and there are plenty of restaurants within a short drive. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the pool at the end of the day. All in all, a wonderful place to stay while in the Orlando area!

Owner Response

Thanks very much for taking the time to review The House by The Mouse, great news to hear you enjoyed it so much! We hope we can welcome you back someday soon. Thanks again, Sarah & Fran

The place was clean, spacious, well-kept, and fun. I particularly enjoyed the atmospheric lights by the hot tub and the game room; the kids were in the pool nonstop, and we had guests over and made dinner with no trouble. The owners were quite helpful in general, and particularly after I accidentally left my checkbook in the room. A lovely stay.

Owner Response

Thanks very much for your review, we are pleased to hear you had such a great time and enjoyed the amenities of the house. I'm pleased we were able to return your check book too! Thanks once again, we hope we can welcome you back someday.

This was our second stay at the House by the Mouse. We enjoyed it so much in 2012 that we came back in 2014! The home is very comfortable, very close to Disney and close to other parks. So nice to have a comfortable place to relax after a long day. We also took a couple "days off" and just stayed at the house. Restaurants and grocery store are very close. Owners/managers are right there to make everything perfect. Highly recommended!

Owner Response

Thank you for your lovely words, it was wonderful to be able to welcome you back once again! I am pleased we can be a part of your memories and we look forward to saying hello again soon.

Me, my husband and my five daughters, age 25 to 12 stayed here. It was beautiful and very accommodating. The location offered many available stores, restaurants and close to the attractions. The home was stocked with everything and anything we possibly needed, including a welcome basket and items stocked in the refrigerator. We will definitely be staying here again.

Owner Response

Thank you so much for your kind words, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. It's nice to know you appreciated the groceries, there's nothing worse than having to shop as soon as you arrive! We would love to welcome you back some day, thanks once again.

Well decorated and especially great fun for kids! Fifth star would be awarded had the hot tub worked.

Owner Response

Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts with us and we're pleased to hear you liked the décor! We do apologize you were unable to use the spa, I wish you would have let us know during your stay and given us the opportunity to check what the problem was. We've had several guests since your stay and nobody else has mentioned it not working. I am not sure what problems you experienced, but I really wish we could have resolved it for you. It was a pleasure having you stay with us and we hope we can welcome you back someday. Thank you once again.

From the moment we walked into the house we knew we had made the right decision for our family of ten to enjoy a Disney vacation. The house was exactly as described in the listing and had everything that we needed for six adults and four children ages 11, 9, 6 and 3. The property is clean and well maintained and any questions we had were promptly answered by the owners. We have nothing but good things to say about this property and the owners. The children loved coming back to the house for a swim in the afternoon and then thrashing the adults in a game of air hockey; fooseball or pool after dinner. We didn't see a hand held video game all week!!!! :) After a home cooked breakfast, we left the house at 7 am most days and opened the parks with our guides Shawn and Ashley of WDW VIP Tours who made sure that the kids were able to enjoy every ride they wanted with minimum waste of time in line - and we did indeed see EVERYTHING! Our original plan had been to go back in the evening for the fireworks but the kids liked coming "home" to the house and swimming in the pool and playing the games of the house after a home cooked meal. We did celebrate my birthday at the Crystal Palace for lunch and the children loved visiting with Tigger, Pooh, Piglet and Eeoyore. Grocery stores were not far away for all our needs. We also enjoyed, on our one day off from the Parks, the nearby playground and tennis courts. It was a perfect vacation at The House of the Mouse!!!!!!!!! And we will do it again soon I am sure and would not hesitate to recommend the property to our friends in Washington DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the UK. Thank you!!!!

We have just returned from a family holiday over Xmas and New Year which included 3 generations and the house suited us all and met every need. The accommodation is very spacious and modern, clean and bright, with all mod cons. The pool and hot tub were used frequently even when the temps outside dropped. The property was ample in size for 8 of us and there was even a bedroom to spare. The location is lovely, quiet but very close to the Disney Parks, Celebration, and the 192 where you can find plenty of choices for eating out, shops and attractions. From the moment I first enquired about the House by the Mouse the service I received from Sarah was excellent. I always received a fast response to my queries and nothing was too much trouble, she was a constant source of information and handy tips that contributed to our holiday being such a success, I couldn't have planned it without her - thanks Sarah :)!! Sarah and Fran went above and beyond by decorating the home for the Xmas holidays and even providing gifts under the tree, which really added to our festive mood. We all have great memories from our trip and are very grateful to them both for all their input in making it a holiday of a lifetime.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review of your stay with us, we are thrilled to hear you had such a great time. It was a pleasure having you as our guests and great to meet you and your family. I will miss our email exchanges! We hope we can welcome you back some day. Thanks once again, Sarah & Fran

The house was very neat and clean and had everything we needed. It was located close to all of the Disney parks, as well as a variety of restaurants and grocery stores. I would definitely come back and stay at this house.

We had the greatest time at this wonderful home. The house was ove the top, with amentities. You name it and it was included, BBQ, wheelchair, baby strollers and cribs. Our kids wanted to stay in the pool more then going to the parks. We will be back and would highly recommend this house for 2 families. This is not the run of the mill stripped down vacation home, this is more then a 5 star hotel.

Wonderful furnished house, very clean, perfect for small children or teenager, great pool and spa! We are thinking about a second visit!

The house had everything we needed and was conveniently located near all of the attractions and local stores. We spent a lot of time just relaxing in the pool. For those with young children, the rooms are Disney friendly and the number of bedrooms and baths made it convenient for our travelers. We had a great stay!

We loved the house. It was clean and decorated so cute. Very close to everything. The house was filled with everything you needed to have a perfect vacation. We will be staying here again on our next trip to FL.

We spent 2008 Christmas in this home and loved every minute we were there. House has everything you can imagine, loaded kitchen, pool/spa and even games for the kids. All attractions and shopping are just around the corner. This was one of our FAVORITE vacation spots and hope to do it again soon! Tara in PA

Every time that I think of my trip to Florida, I think of how much time we should have spend at the home provided by Fran and family. My family and friend's family have often talk about coming back to the same house. The home was very accommodating for two families as well as clean and convienent to stores, as well as Disney. We looking for forward to getting back to Florida in the future whether it is a family vacation or a Girls AAU Basketball games! I can't remember when we stayed since it has been a few years. I know that it was during spring break.

We will be back, so close to the parks. We could come home and swim and rest up for the evening it was great. The kids loved the pool and the games room. The owners really thought of everyhting. The house is very clean and well maintained. We saved so much money compared to staying on Disney property. We recommend this property. Agnes Kolodi

ur vacation in your home was the most magical experience! Everything we imagined and more. The attention to detail and your delightful decor are what make this house a home. We found it very easy to navigate the roadways to Disney and the Orlando areas. It was so relaxing to come home after a wonderful day at the parks. The kids would hop in the pool while we enjoyed the jaccuzzi. The pool area was very private and we love the wooded area out back. The game-room was alot of fun for the (big & little) kids. I highly recommend this Absolutely Amazing Home!!! There are many houses to rent, some less, some more, but none can compare to this home away from home! From the moment you park the car this home will make All Your Dreams Come True!!! Jack and Fran thankyou for making Magical Memories that will last a lifetime! We'll be in touch.

Thanks and we hope you will return.

Easy to find off I4/192, and ideal for supermarkets, places to eat and especially Disney. Clean and tidy with lots of room and a huge tv (compared to the UK). I would recommend this house as an ideal place to return to after a hard days Disneying. In the locality, whilst Winn Dixie was at the top of the road, I preferred the Publix about a mile and a half west along the 192 ( as did most of the vacationing British it seemed). All the usual suspects were close at hand, McDonalds, Subway, Ponderosa, Taco Bell and our favourite, Dennys. It seemed almost immoral to take less than ten minutes to go from the drive to the gate of Disney. Easy access to Orlando Int'l as well and the main artery of Orlando, I4. I would certainly come back again, and have told all my friends, but alas, the global economic crisis has curtailed my immediate future holiday plans.

Staying at the House By The Mouse made my vacation at Disney a memorable one. The accomodations were excellent. You feel as though you are at your own personal resort staying at this house. There is a pool w/ an adjacent hot tub, game room, and plenty of space if you have several families interested in renting together. The owners will accomodate just about any need or request! The house is close enough to Disney that we felt as though we were still apart of the attractions and night life w/o experiencing the chaos of the traffic and tourist. I would not do my vacation in Florida any other way besides staying at the House By The Mouse!

We had a great time and staying in this wonderful home made it even better!! The directions of how to get there from the airport were wonderful as we were coming in at night and they were very detailed. It was a great location and close to everything. The property was in immaculate condition and we only had one minor problem that was rectified within a couple hours of reporting it. The kitchen had all you needed to prepare meals as we used it alot. We especially loved the pool and hot tub to come home to relax in after a long day of sight seeing and park hopping. As a matter or fact we had thought we would be going again over easter but was unable and had inquired about renting this property again. I highly recommend it and actually have to a few people that have mentioned they were going to Orlando.
