VRBO STAYED! 6 Bedrms, Free Wifi, 2.5 Miles to Disney! Theater, Mickey Pool!

WELCOME TO CHARACTERS CORNER!

Welcome to Characters Corner, our Disney Vacation Home, located in the elegant gated community known as Formosa Gardens Estates. Our home is located only two and 1/2 miles from the main entrance to all of the Disney Parks! We are the original owners of this home having built it in 2002 and we make every effort to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We have gone to great lengths to take what is the existing luxury standard for vacation homes a step further. We are constantly in the process of updating and re-furnishing our home to keep things nice and new. Cleanliness is our FIRST priority. We understand that there is a lot of variation in standards with vacation homes and it is our goal to make sure you are happy with our home. We take a lot of pride in making sure your stay is magical! We are very fortunate to have a property manager who lives IN the neighborhood and who will be available in the event that you need any type of assistance or have any issues during your stay. Our property manager only manages a small number of homes and it is for this reason that she is able to take such good care of our home. We have been told by many guests (on several occasions) that our home is the cleanest that they have ever rented. :)

Our home offers the following features and amenities: A huge in-ground pool for you and your guests to enjoy, surrounded by a hot tub/spa and a Mickey Mouse kiddie pool which both have waterfalls into the large in-ground pool. The Mickey Mouse pool is 18 inches deep in the center and six inches deep in Mickey's ears. Our pools' deck/lounging area is extra large in order to accommodate a large group of people comfortably. This is sooo important! We find that most people spend most of their time at the pool! (Us included!) The pool area also contains a comfortable outdoor dining area. Make special note of the size of our pool and deck as you will likely spend a lot of time there!

Our home is 3,500 square foot, (this includes the movie theater room!) It has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and is located on a very large and private lot. Three of the bedrooms are master suites (two king and one queen), all with en-suite bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi tub). There are additionally two twin bedrooms containing two twin beds in each of these themed rooms..one of themed rooms is our NEMO room and the other is STAR WARS! Finally we also have a PRINCESS/ROYALTY themed bedroom and this bedroom offers a full sized Princess Carriage bed. The Princess/Royalty bedroom can be accessed through the main master bedroom french doors or the french doors can be locked and there is a separate/private entrance to this room from the living room.

All of our furnishings are top of the line designer, name brand furnishings from companies such as Broyhill, Lexington, Hooker, and of course, the Disney Store! All of our bedrooms offer Flat Screen TVs. The family room (which includes a leather sectional sofa ) includes a home theater surround sound system and an assortment of family-oriented DVDs will be provided. The bonus room/master suite (the only upstairs room) offers a king-size bed, along with an extra pull out sofa in the same room. There are additionally two pack'n'play cribs for the little ones!

Our gourmet kitchen, with island and attached eat-in kitchen table area offers all of the comforts of home, and more!! There is a separate formal dining room area, along with a formal living room. Additionally, the entire home is equipped with WIFI WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS. And last but not least, our garage features new MOVIE THEATER ROOM, with a foosball table and some wonderful Mickey decor! Of course, there is a washer and dryer located on the first floor for your convenience.

Finally, we invite you inquire about a stay in our home. We are convinced that you will be so happy that you will want to return again and again. We have many guests who come back year after year!

Thank you for considering us and we would LOVE TO SHARE OUR HOME WITH YOUR FAMILY!!

Perfect oasis
We loved staying here. It was quiet , very clean with comfortable beds, air conditioning and a lovely family pool. The kitchen was well equipped and our toddler had high chair and toys to play with. As a family we enjoyed watching films in the cinema room and playing table football. It’s a house ideally suited to a family holiday it’s a peaceful oasis after the hectic disney parks ( which are only 15 minutes away) we had a couple of small problems which were sorted by Heidi within 5 minutes. Amazing. If you are thinking of booking it don’t hesitate!

Wonderful Disney Vacation
We selected this house because of its location and Disney Theme. It was perfectly set up for our adult and children mix. The house was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool. There were good amounts of dishes, glasses, pots and pans etc. The only downside was we didn't notice that papergoods (paper towels, TP, Kleenex) were not included requiring an extra trip to the store. Everthing else was abundantly supplied. Will definitely recommend to anyone "doing Disney" as an extended family. Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful home. Bob and Kim

Characters Corner bliss!
We would rate this wonderful home 10 stars if we could. We stay in lots of short-term rentals, and this spacious and charmingly decorated house was far and away our favorite. We were a party of 9: three couples, a 9-year-old, and two teenagers. The layout of the house couldn’t have been more perfect for us. Each of the three master bedrooms with full bath—two on the first floor (one with connecting princess room) and one upstairs—has the feel of a private suite, so we all could get away to individual spaces when we needed to, but then could sit and relax and eat and chat in the beautiful big kitchen, dining room, living room, or theatre/game room, or—everybody’s favorite!—poolside. Our teenaged nieces shared the Star Wars room and were happy and comfortable. We relaxed in the pool and enjoyed the peace and quiet every evening after long days of fun at the theme parks. The dining table out by the pool was one of our favorite places to convene, though we also really appreciated the huge table in the dining room proper. Our travel times to the parks (leaving around 8:00 a.m.) were about 20-25 minutes to the Magic Kingdom, 15-20 minutes to Animal Kingdom and Epcot, and 30-35 minutes to Universal. We have nothing but rave reviews for Heidi, who responded to messages quickly and with the needed information. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. We will absolutely book with Heidi again when we return to Orlando (and may return to Orlando just to stay in Characters Corner!).

Wonderful Stay
Property was as shown in the photos. Layout was great for multi-generations to all have privacy and be comfortable with plenty of room to gather in common areas. Pool and hot tub were great and we wish we had the time to enjoy those more. Location was the best we’ve stayed in so far for a Disney location, so close to the parks and a main road that has anything you’d need, but still private and we felt safe. Would 100% try to stay here again.

We loved the house!! Just one thing to note. The upstairs is one large suite with a king bed but also 2 twin beds. Again makes the set up perfect for more than one family as long a the adults don't mind having kids with them. Pool was great especially for our little one. Overall we would go back!!

This lovely and fun home was perfect for our Disney family vacation! There was plenty of space for everyone. It was great to return to the home at the end of a Disney parks day and swim in the beautiful pool. All the Mickey, Minnie, and other Disney touches added to the comfort and fun of the home. The yard was large and the neighborhood quiet. We will definitely be back!!

Absolutely Amazing Experience
We had an amazing time at this property. We were here during Hurricane Ian so we spent more time in the home than we had actually planned to due to theme park closures. Heidi, the owner, was amazing and promptly responded to all my texts. She went above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed and were ok during the hurricane. The property manager went above and beyond by taking out the trash cans during the bad weather and checking in on the property to make sure all was ok. Easy check-in and check-out. The house is in pristine condition. Very clean and well stocked. Plenty of towels, pots and pans, silverware, and plate/cups, and glasses. Beds are super comfortable. We enjoyed the pool, spa, and especially the theater room. It was a favorite spot for our teens to hang out. Property is very close to Disney parks, restaurants, and grocery stores. It is in a gated community and we all felt safe. If you are on the fence about booking, don't be. Book! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Heidi for sharing your beautiful home and making sure we had everything we needed.
