Great location
The location is perfect and condo has all you need. The condo could do with a spruce up as it looks a bit tired and clean/weed the outside area. The beds are really soft which we don't like but accept others would. Would I stay again, yes I would. Compared to Disney accommodation this is great value.

Clean but dated
The property definitely was older than the pictures made it look, however, it was clean and sufficient for us. We were able to spread out in the 3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhouse.

Location great
Location was great, about 20 min walk to the gates of the parks. We had a major issue at one point during our stay but our host answered our call immediately and was on site within 15 minutes and later resolved the issue. The unit could use a more thorough cleaning.

Close to Disney
Property was about a 15-20 minute walk with a 5 and 7 year old. You do need to cross a street with no cross walk to make it that short of a walk. The tram took a few mins off the walk time on the way home. We liked: the pool, all the beds, stocked kitchen, communication with owner, easy check in and out, free parking. Could be better: more seating in living room-there is beds for 6+, but only seating for 3 in the living room and there was plenty of room for an additional love seat/chairs. The ice machine didn’t make ice and in 40+ C heat we needed ice! Not a deal breaker as we can buy ice but it would haven been nice to know ahead. It was clean, but definitely a bit more run down than expected. Overall, it’s definitely l worth staying here and would agai. If we went back.

Close enough to walk
Stay here for the proximity and ease of walking to DD and on to the parks. If you prefer a new, pristine room or bragging rights on your Disney vacation accommodations, maybe stay at one of the 3 D hotels. The hosts are great, the beds are comfy there are several strollers to borrow, 2 pack n plays, patio is ground floor (its one patio, spanning dining and den each with huge sliders) and private and the Disney theme is on point. Parking spot is 2 slots from doorway and under the quest room window. Neighborhood is quiet even with this end unit being on the perimeter drive. Everything that counts is clean and updated- appliances, fridge with ice dispenser, beds, towels, sheets, A/C. My husband has more discerning tastes and would prefer not to go this route in the future. I think its perfect for a family traveling with kids. Packing tips: bring shampoo/ cond. Bath soap, laundry soap, a hanging organizer for bathroom toiletries(limited counter space) mosquito lamp/coils, filtered water if you are finicky and cooking ingredients, spices, etc. that you may need. There is a small square charcoal bbq on the patio, some charcoal, plenty of nightlights, pool toys, towels and 3 kids life vests, hand soap(some water added), towels, sheets, extra blankets, dvds/player, pots, pans, plates, bowls, utensils, kids ware, 6 laundry pods, 3 rolls of TP in each bath, and plenty of hot H2O. Note: shower head in guest bath is fairly low, great for kids but tall adults will want to use master.

Not as pictures show
The pictures are from when the place was new, because its definitely not as nice now. Its old and not as clean. Needs paint and the baseboards need cleaning. The bathroom ensuite has water damage and mold. It is close to Disneyland, it is very quiet and has a great pool. The bed mattress is old and has a high spot in the center. Soft matress. Kids room quite nice. Other bedroom warn and needs paint. Bedding is not quality, warn out. All appliances worked properly. No welcome gift, or letter. Decorating is old. The living room area didn't have enough seating for 4 to sit comfortably to watch a movie. I just think for the cost it should have been closer to the pictures. Ive rented a number of VRBO places and they have always been classy. This place is not that. The pictures made me feel i was getting something more. We had a great holiday , in spite of these issues. We cooked in the kitchen, did laundy and could walk to Disneyland.

Great Disney Location
Overall, very happy with our recent stay here! This is the first time staying in this complex, and we really loved the location and convenience for our Disney days. Our kids (and ourselves) really enjoyed the pool and park areas on our “break days” from Disney. Lots of nearby grocery shopping, which is important for a family with 3 little kiddos. The property was well equipped for young kids, which I appreciate (strollers, high chair, kids cutlery/plates, etc). I would only say that if you are picky about a high level of esthetics for the place you stay, you may want to consider a different place. There are some renovations that could be done (cracks in grout, creaky floors, etc), but none of this bothered us. Would definitely stay here again when we return to the happiest place on earth! Thank you!

Great for families!
My family, all adults and one infant, decided to stay here in April. We wanted somewhere more like home to make it easier for the little one and to spend more time as a family. This home definitely allowed us to do so. Being able to have our own rooms but share common space was key for us adults. Our baby enjoyed her stay too since she got to have her own seat at the table in a high chair that was already there. This gave us so much relief because guess what our family didnt pack? Haha The location was amazing. We stayed M-W and even when we left the house at 715 AM, we still made it into the parks for rope drop! It also made going home after a long day so much easier. I also want to say the parking spot for this Vrbo is amazing. It is right infront of the house so when we were packing up and unloading it was so easy! They have a garage to use too but k recommend the spot for whatever car has the kiddos. Such an easy transfer. I plan to stay here again with some friends and their kiddos in October if the dates work! Repeat stay in the works.

Clean, comfortable, and close to the park!
This property has ample space for a decent sized group, and you simply can't beat the location. The home is kept clean and has great amenities; it's an older building but well-kept. Neighbors all seemed friendly, even those that seem to live there full-time. You can see/hear the Disney fireworks right from the front porch every night; so don't panic where you suddenly hear loud rumbling at 9:30pm. Pool access was incredible, 3 pools and a hot tub that were never busy (though I'm sure that changes with the weather). Would absolutely stay here again.

Excellent location
This is a fantastic property. The location is great. It is about a 10 minute walk to Downtown Disney, so it is close enough to go back and take a little break instead of having to be at the parks all day. The house was very clean and close to many restaurants and grocery store. The host was very responsive and check in was easy. We will definitely try and stay here again next time.

Fantastic stay!
The house was PERFECT for our family! Lots of space for 7 of us. The kids loved the bunk bed. My husband and I took the master suite and the bed was SO comfy and the walk in shower in the ensuite was just great! Everything was clean and we had everything we needed! The walk to downtown Disney and both parks is very easy and we took advantage of being so close to the parks that we walked home in the afternoon for a rest before walking back to the park for the evenings! We loved the pool and used it multiple times as the week was a very warm one!! Thank you for a great VRBO experience. We will recommend your rental to anyone who is looking for a place in Anaheim and would be happy to come back any time!

UNSAFE AND MISLEADING
When we first arrived we were unable to get in with the code provided. The host had forgotten to update the keypad and had to look up a different one for us to use. So we were likely using the code from the previous occupants which felt unsafe. As soon as we walked in we were surprised at the quality of the home. The photos made it look clean and updated but they were very misleading. Looking at the photos now they have things blocking the questionable parts of the home. A lot of the amenities in the photos are also missing like the slide on the patio and toys in the bunk room. The worst of our experience was that when we arrived the ceiling was caving in one of the bedrooms. We contacted the host and they were unaware of the situation. They came over to look at it while we were out and called telling us to just sleep on the couch until they could have a contractor come the next morning. We asked for a refund so we could stay elsewhere and they said that could be discussed the next day and to just sleep on the couch. Long story short, after the first night it was deemed unsafe by a contractor. Rather than giving us a refund the host was going to have it fixed WHILE WE WERE STAYING THERE!! We spent the entire first two days of our Disneyland vacation trying to figure out this mess when the host should have immediately offered us a refund to stay somewhere else from the beginning. He agreed to a partial refund on the second day and we left. Do not recommend.

We stayed for 11 days and boy did we love it!!! The condo had everything we needed and more. The space was set up so nicely with great sized bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms (having 3 toilets was key to getting out of the house early for our daily activities!) We enjoyed the pools and the walk to Disney was short and sweet with shaded areas to keep out of the heat! Thank you for this wonderful place to stay!!
