Easter Hols Disney Trip

We had a fantastic stay at the Mickeys Homestay over the Easter Hols in April 25. The home is beautiful and the pool was fantastic and we were in it everyday. The location is perfect for Disney. This was our third trip to the area and this is the best home we have stayed in. The communication from Charles and Joanne was really good before and throughout our stay which made the whole experience brilliant.

Amazing experience hosted by a clearly professional couple nothing was too much trouble !!

Amazing villa with everything you could ever need at your finger tips, our family of 6 had a great time and a lovely place to relax when the parks were beating you up lol. The hosts were always informative and sent several email during our stay to make sure we were happy and catered for which we were, they have a member of staff who maintains the external of the property and the pool area and also takes out your trash and recycling twice a week very nice touch. All the parks are within a short drive from the villa and the gated entrance really made you feel secure and there is local restaurants and supermarkets really close by the pool is fantastic and the hot tub relaxed those aching bones at the end of a long day. We would highly recommend this villa and the hosts Charles and Jo a massive thank you to you guys for a memorable and perfect stay x

Perfection

Stayed in Mickeys Homestead in September 2024. I love this estate particularly and have stayed in several accommodations over the years. It's a great location and wouldn't stay anywhere else. The house is particularly impressive looking and I had noticed it on a previous visit. It's very spacious and immaculately clean. Also equipped with practically anything you could possibly need. Definitely a home from home. I think it was fairly priced too. It was definitely a little bit of luxury. We had the pleasure of meeting the host Charles who came by to ensure our stay was going well and made himself approachable should we have needed anything. Overall the house inside is dated , Charles explained it was due a revamp and was on the agenda ,like many of their other rental properties. I didn't mind , it had no impact or detriment to our stay. The fridge had drinks in cooling on our arrival which was a welcome suprise and basic essentials, soap /detergent .Would I stay again? Absolutely.

Fantastic Summer Holiday. Exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it, and we hope to return one day!

We had a fantastic stay and experience at Mickey's Homestead, Formosa Gardens. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The house was perfect for our young family—spacious, tastefully decorated, super comfortable, and exceptionally clean. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved the beautiful pool area to relax and where the kids had endless fun. The neighborhood was private and quiet, ideal for visiting Disney parks. Plenty of attractions and restaurants were nearby, so we were spoilt for choice. Communication with the hosts was exceptional. They provided clear check-in instructions and prompt, friendly assistance. They even went above and beyond by sending us items we accidentally left behind. Everything was great and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it, and we hope to return one day!

Spring Break Trip April 2024

We currently stayed in this house during Spring Break. The house was beautiful and clean. The cleanest house I have stayed in so far. The pool was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. I will say the house looks just like the pictures. The check in process was easy and everything was set when we arrived. We even had water and Pepsi in the fridge when we arrived. This was a nice surprise. We really enjoyed staying here and plan to do so in the future if available when we travel again.

Bad beds

This house was clean. However, the furniture was very uncomfortable to sit on. This included the dining tables, the sofas in the family room and the beds. In particular, the king size bed in the master bedroom was extremely uncomfortable. The mattress was totally compressed because of age and use. We awoke every morning with aching backs which was not a good start to our Disney Park days. The homeowner offered to purchase a new mattress in the middle of our vacation but only at our expense. The mattress should have been replaced long ago for every renter’s comfort.

Perfect House, Perfect Location

When we arrived at the house we were amazed at the size, feel and look of the house. The room the property provides was a very nice change from previous rentals. We have rented many vacation houses through VRBO and this one is by far the best one we have rented. The experience and communication with Charles and Joanne was exceptional. Check in and check out was very easy. Their dedication to providing the guest the best stay possible was above and beyond. The beds are very comfortable. The layout of the house provides ease of use. The view of the pond behind the house was fantastic. After a day of shopping and parks it was very nice relaxing by the pool looking out over the pond. We are defiantly planning on staying here again and again. We thank you for making this stay enjoyable.

Excellent Property, Location and Host

Beautifully maintained home, perfect for our extended family (ages 2 years to Grandparents). Plenty of room to spread out after a long day in the parks, or just hang out together on none park days (both inside and out). The pool, hot tub and outdoor spaces are gorgeous. The hosts are amazing, incredibly nice and willing to go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Lovely people! The best part for us was the quick access to Disney Parks, just a quick drive away! Highly recommend this property and will definitely return!

Fantastic Disney vacation home

Having stayed in many Floridian villas over the past 25yrs + this particular home is probably the best. A perfect location for all the attractions or just to stay by the pool and chill out. The owners Charles & Jo helped make our time in their home so easy, it was like being in a hotel but without all the fuss, which we prefer. The weather didn’t particularly bother us as we had the pool heated for our stay, so still able to make full use of it. Our return flight was unfortunately cancelled but it wasn’t an issue, we were able to stay an extra night for a minimal charge, I would recommend you stay at this vacation home if you get the chance, we will on our next visit to Florida. Thank you Charles & Jo Mary & Gordo

Peace, quiet and wonderful views

We loved our time here especially sitting enjoying breakfast each morning by the pool watching the wild life around the lake. After a few hectic days around the parks the villa was just what we needed. A haven of peace,quiet and tranquility. Formosa Gardens is a lovely safe gated community and this villa probably has one of the best spots and is well equipped especially the kitchen has everything you might need they have left nothing to chance. Charles and Jo are very professional and prompt with all communication, the digital app is a great idea and so informative. We would absolutely recommend them and look forward to coming back.

Amazing Pool Area next to a Lake... 10 stars if we could!!

If you are wondering about whether or not to book this one, you need to get on with booking it asap; it’s amazing. It’s sooooo close to Disney (especially Animal Kingdom, to which there’s a shortcut), restaurants and Walmart 5 mins away. Two things really stood out- the quality of the accommodation, with all the little extras like herbs and spices for cooking, tea and coffee etc, water and Pepsi in the fridge, immaculate gardens and amazing pool. There’s so much space in the house, the beds are really comfy and the kitchen has everything you need. The other thing that we especially enjoyed was the lakefront position. The pictures don’t do it enough justice- it’s absolutely beautiful and the wildlife is incredible. We watched a bald eagle fishing there one morning (it wasn’t an osprey- they were there every day!) And if there’s a member of your party who’s into fishing, the largemouth bass are very obliging. Finally, our hosts were so attentive- they couldn’t be better. 10 stars!

Outstanding

It’s everything we hoped and dreamed for our family vacation. We especially enjoyed the pool, hot tub and outdoor area including the pool table. The privacy was second to none! We had the shower knob break during our stay, and I emailed the owner about it. He called me back within five minutes, he told me he will have somebody there the next morning too look at it and possibly fix it and they came and fixed it. I also mentioned the Keurig wasn’t working properly, he apologized and told me that he would have a new one delivered to our porch by 4 and 6 a.m. the next morning and it was there when we woke up! Amazing owners! Thank you!!

Aunger Rentals LLC DBA Aunger Vacation Homes: Exceptional Vacation Homes, Thoughtfully Managed

Why they chose this property

The house is approximately 3,000 feet in size located over two-story floors. All your favorite Disney characters await less than 5 minutes away! With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a huge screened pool, and is an icon of a house everyone wanted this house and we have wanted since we saw in many years ago.

The house is situated in Formosa Gardens Estates community in Kissimmee, Florida, which is one of the closest estates to Disney World ever zoned for short-term rentals.

Located five minutes from Disney World, Formosa Gardens Estates comprises single-family homes designed for mainly vacations and some residential.

The prestigious Formosa Gardens area in Kissimmee is opposite Disney's Animal Kingdom and just a few genuine miles from Disney's World. You can't get closer. Accessed directly from Highway 192. Many of the Kissimmee homes are so far from the parks you can get stuck in the queuing on Interstate 4, or the 27, or driving in from the outskirts

The new and exciting Margaritaville Theme Park is directly opposite Formosa Gardens and includes a 12-acre water park, multiplex cinema, music venues, shopping mall, and restaurants.

From Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios to Epcot and the Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, all of your favorite Disney attractions can be found within 10 miles or less of this Kissimmee home! So spend a day at the theme parks and, later, head into Disney Springs for evening entertainment.

What's a trip to the Sunshine State without an afternoon under the sun! Drive about an hour east to test your skills in the surf breaks of Cocoa Beach, or venture an hour and a half west to wander the white-sand shores of Clearwater Beach. This property is a lovely family home with good access to all parks and retail shopping.

If you wish to explore other areas but have a base to come back to, it is brilliant, or if you want to cruise in the middle of your vacation, it is not too far to cruise terminals.

What makes this property unique

Genuinely nothing like this in the area this big or spacious as a four-bedroom family home on nearly an acre of land and lakefront for this close access to Disney parks only 5 minutes or 2 miles away. Shops bars and restaurants are all close by. If you want to have a day around the pool, there is no better way than in this beautiful home on this quiet estate.

Retail therapy is close by, or you can enjoy the shopping and restaurants of Winter Gardens or Osceola Parkway as an abundance of retail Centres with every shop imaginable.

International Drive is just off the I 4 with discovery cove, sea world, and Aquatica nearby.

With its green golf course, Mystic Dunes is just 1 mile away with over 15 other courses nearby, heaven for a golf enthusiast.

Busch Gardens and the fine white sand beaches of Sarasota are only an hour's drive away, where you can swim, sunbathe or watch the world go by in one of the many restaurants situated down the main road on the way to Lido Beach.

The cruise ship terminals are not far away; Port Canaveral, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale are all within easy reach if you feel like being pampered.

The NASA space center is only an hour away; budding astronauts will find this exciting.
