Great house, great location! Carl was fantastic to work with, very accommodating. We set our initial reservation and then decided to check in a day early, and asked for a late check-out upon departure. Carl was quick to respond to both requests. The house is very clean and well equipped. Great price for the location and the neighborhood!

Carl's place is nice, comfortably accommodates 4-6 families (depending on kids and their age). The photos are accurate. The house was clean and spacious. Comfy for a family stay. It is a bit far from main high ways, specially if you arriving in a rush hour, you can spend about an hour getting to the house. I am giving it a 3 star because the listing doesn't specify that although there is space for up to 6 families, the house only accommodates 2 cars. We would have probably not booked this house had we known that, as we expected to have 4 cars (luckily one family canceled the trip last minute and we had to deal with only 3 cars). There were no clear instructions on what to do with the 3rd car that we had. We could have either parked it horizontally blocking the sidewalk or parallel-park it on the street. Either way we were risking getting a ticket or being towed away. We decided to leave it parallel-parked on the street. As there were NO visible signs for NO PARKING on that street in the visible proximity of the house. Also, there were no instructions in the HOUSE MANUAL regarding parking. Our car got towed away by very rude guys at 12.30am and we spent 3.5 hours and $125 getting it back from a very dark and dangerous area. Very unpleasant experience, considering we were with the kids who woke up bright and early to go to Disney the very next day. After speaking with the security at the community gate, it appears that towing is a very common practice in that neighborhood. And the tow-truck circulates the area every hour. So unless you are only going to have 2 cars in such a big house, you will have a problem. I have spoken to Carl about the towing issue, he pointed out that there are signs in the community for no parking. It is true. There are signs, at the entrance of the community, and a couple near the bridge (which is a drive away). They are not the regular tall signs that you see on the regular streets. The signs are about 3ft high and when you arrive to a new place after sunset and a long drive and are following navigation and looking for house numbers, 95% of the people are not going to notice them. You have to look for them and there are only a couple signs for the entire community). If I were the host of the house, i would put a huge sign on the door and in the house manual letting the guests know the parking rules of the community. Also, a few signs on the street of the house may help clear out parking issues. I further think they should have specified that on the listing, so that people can plan accordingly.

First we would like to thank Carl for his prompt responses and attentiveness to all of our questions. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We had just one little mishap DO NOT park more than two cars you will be towed. There is plenty of parking by the clubhouse area. Although this happened Carl was super helpful and offered us a late checkout. Super awesome of him. We will be back again and use Carl as a host. Thank you!!
