About this property

Arlene's Family Vacation Home on Golf Course--4 miles to WDW!

Affordable Luxury -- Stay at my upscale Disney themed home with private pool and spa overlooking Mystic Dunes Golf Course for your next Disney World area vacation.

We visit our home often, so we can pay close attention to details at our home to ensure your stay will be a very pleasant one. In addition, we have a wonderful local manager who takes great care of our home and our guests!

It is located in a quiet, residential community--just 4 miles from Disney World and 15 minutes to Sea World and Universal Orlando.

The property is registered and licensed with the state of Florida and Osceola County.

Each room is tastefully Disney themed--even the pool and spa are Disney themed. The home is luxuriously equipped throughout with all the necessities and much more! Not your ordinary vacation home -- a vacation destination in itself. Children love staying at my home -- so do their parents! Please try to book your vacation at my home as early as possible -- my home fills up quickly.

Being an annual passholder at Disney World and Sea World, I am always happy to help my guests plan their trips to the Disney World area.

Perfect home in ideal location
My wife and I visited with 3 kids ages 9, 11 and 14. Everyone loved the home. It was clean and spacious. Each kid had their own room. We slept in the master which has a very comfortable king size bed and en-suite bathroom. We didn’t have a lot of time to check out the TV’s but each room had one with access to Roku. The pool was a real hit with all of us. We paid for the pool and hot tub to be heated. It was so nice to soak after a long day of walking at the parks. The kitchen is stocked with anything you need for cooking. We enjoyed the washer and dryer as we were able to do some laundry before leaving. It was nice to get home without a ton of dirty clothes. The home location is in a great spot very close to the parks. A Walmart is right down the street which is super convenient. Arlene was great to work with too. She was very informative and sent a pamphlet of everything we needed to know ahead of time. We will definitely look to stay here again on our next trip.

Perfect retreat
My husband and I enjoyed a 9 day stay with our son, daughter in law and granddaughter. Arlene's home was a great location for us to go to Disney and visit family and friends in the area. The traffic from Disney to her home was tame compared to traffic going other directions. The rooms were private and comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with any equipment needed to cook a meal.

Worth booking just to stay there, relax and enjoy?
This house is exactly as a listed. When you get there you open that front door, it just welcomes you into the home. My son is special needs, and he doesn't quickly go into spaces willingly but when we opened that door he ran in and he was so happy! The house is tastefully decorated, certainly for many of the reasons you may be in the Orlando area. For us. It was perfect. In a home, in a neighborhood, 25 minutes away from the theme parks. We will be coming back just to visit the greater Orlando area and will be booking this HOME again. Arlene the owner is FANTASTIC in communicating and general welcoming and VERY accommodating. Our son LOVED having his own Mickey Mouse bedroom and the pool was SO relaxing, clean and fun.

A home away from home
Truly a guest-friendly home. Pre-arrival communication with Arlene was just right. It's clear she takes pride in offering guests a "home", not just a "house." It's the little things like a supply of coffee-maker filters, a clothes tree near the pool to hang swimwear (just to name a couple) that make the difference between good and great. Highly recommended.

Rent without hesitation!
Arlene's home is bright, clean, comfortable, convenient to everything, and a great value. It is graciously appointed with everything my family needed to have a wonderful stay. Arlene has thoughtfully prepared a booklet so her guests know the ins and outs of the property, which was extremely helpful and made our stay less stressful. My son is already planning his return trip to Disney, and you can bet we will be renting from Arlene again!

Will certainly be back!
This is a fantastic holiday home with everything and so much more than you could want or need on vacation. The kitchen had more utensils and gadgets than we knew what to do with! If you’re a Disney fan, you’re going to LOVE the decor, it’s so much fun. The pool is an excellent size too, and the location is amazing for all the dining options on the 192 - and so easy to get to the Disney/Universal too. Can’t recommend enough, we will definitely be staying here again. Arlene is a joy to deal with too, and really cares which just makes everything so much better. Thank you!!!

About the host

Hosted by Arlene D. Caruso

Host profile image
We are the Caruso Family of Saylorsburg, PA. For 43 years we have lived in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. We grew up in the greater Philadelphia area and moved to the Poconos to enjoy the beauty and nature that this area offers. It has been a great place to raise our 5 children. I love the summers here--but I hate the winters--lol!

Why they chose this property

Since we hate the winters in Pennsylvania and we all love Disney World--it made sense to buy a home in this area. Owning this home, has made us very popular grandparents! This property was bought because as they say in real estate--'The three most important things are--location, location, location'! Our guests love our location since we are very close to the theme parks, shopping, restaurants, etc.

What makes this property unique

It was important to us to have a spa--not just a pool at our vacation home. Our pool and spa have separate thermostats and a new gas heater--making our spa into a hot tub. Our pool and spa both have safety rails for our older guests and we added a pool security fence for our younger guests.
We love the golf course view that this house enjoys! Where we live in Pennsylvania, we have privacy, quiet, beauty and can enjoy nature-- this home also has privacy, quiet, beauty and we do enjoy the nature around us. So for us it is just like home and a great place for ourselves, our children and now our grandchildren!
