The neighborhood is quiet, residential, and gated — great for families who want calm evenings after big park days. No through traffic, no noise, just your private villa and pool waiting at the end of each day.

Very very nice Airbnb. Obvious that Hanna really cares about this home. Feels like a home away from home in pretty much all aspects. Hanna is extremely responsive and available for anything you need. The arcade in the garage is so well thought out and fun. Swimming pool and backyard is a nice place to hang out after visiting theme parks. All bedrooms are furnished with comfortable beds and nice clean linens. The house itself was pretty much spotless when we arrived. We had a wonderful time (4 adults) and would definitely stay again! Photos are accurate and may even undersell this place.

Hanna’s place was exactly as described - beautiful from top to bottom. Such fun small details - my daughter loved what she called the “magic” (touch) lamp in the princess room. Sound machines were so great to have. Kitchen had everything we could need. Game room was really fun to use. She really thought of everything to make guests feel at home. Would absolutely stay here again!

Hanna’s place was gorgeous; great bedrooms, kitchen and pool area. The house was very clean and she was very courteous in accommodating a late check out. Quick response time to any questions. I would absolutely stay here again, prime location to great restaurants and the right off the highway to get around.

Our family of 7 was in town for a family reunion, and Hanna's place could not have been more ideal. Everyone had their own bedroom AND bathroom. We paid to have the pool and hot tub heated, and it was worth every penny. We were in it every day. The kids and adults loved the game room. We had plenty of room to fix meals and hang out watching the Olympics on TV. Mornings spent on the patio sipping coffee and watching the birds were extra special. Loved that the backyard was so private...no houses out back, just open field. Hanna was always friendly and super responsive. I would HIGHLY recommend staying in this home.

Hanna’s home was fantastic! The decor was tasteful and modern, and the Disney touches were so cute. It looks even better in person than the photos. The house was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. The pool area was beautiful, and the pool heat was so warm! Hanna was the best host, great communication, and she checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely book this house again when we are in the Orlando area! Thank you Hanna!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Hanna’s place for our trip. 15 minutes drive to the Disney parks, it was an easy drive. We had a blast at the parks during the day, and it was so nice to come back to a place where we could rest comfortably and recharge for the next day. Hanna was super helpful and responsive, and made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. Her house was sparkling clean and had more than enough space for our party of 8. Highly recommend!

Two things I love in a rental - the BEDS and the SHOWERS! So nice to have a both at Hanna's - great mattress and fantastic shower after a marathon Disney day! The house was perfect for our two kids, and grandparents for our family Disney trip. The neighborhood is so tidy and safe, and the house is so spacious. Each bedroom theme is perfect and the downstairs master was great for our eldery folks, while we still had another primary room upstairs for us. Did laundry once and even grilled out on our first night there. Felt like home! Any questions we had were answered like lightning by the host as well. Also beyond close to Epcot, Animal Kingdom and the airport, so no long commutes during our trip. Thanks again!

Excellent home and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all huge and spotless. Pictures don’t do the home justice and the heated pool was the highlight with our kids. Will look to book again next time we’re in Orlando. Brilliant communication with Hanna and always available to help. Thank you.

The large, well-equipped kitchen and high-end details throughout made the home feel truly luxurious.

We stayed at this home while hosting my sister’s bachelorette to drink around the world at Epcot, and it was absolutely perfect. We were a group of six and almost everyone had their own room and bathroom, every bedroom has an ensuite, so only two of us had to share. The house is extremely spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The location was excellent, just 18 minutes door to door from Epcot, and super convenient for Uber rides and food deliveries. Hanna, the host, was wonderful to work with, so communicative and pleasant. It was a lovely stay, and I would recommend this home ten times over. Some of the attendees with annual Disney passes even requested the listing for future stays. We’re all very pleased. Thank you, Hanna!

We had a great stay! Hanna was extremely prompt and responsive with all communication, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The house was spotless and very well maintained. One of the standout features was that each bedroom had its own bathroom—such a thoughtful setup, especially for multiple families traveling together. It gave everyone their own space and made our stay much more comfortable. Highly recommend this place!

Just had a 2 week stay as a family of 7 in this lovely home. It was absolutely the perfect home from home and Hanna was a fantastic host, always helpful. The house is exactly as pictured and so comfy. It’s in a peaceful safe neighbourhood with a huge Walmart 2 miles up the road and within 15 mins for Disney and 30 mins for Universal (quicker if you use the toll road). The house has everything you need and each bedroom has its own bathroom which is a huge benefit. The pool area is spotless and was brilliant for the kids and we saw lots of birds of prey and deer out the back. Highly recommend staying at Hanna’s place, one of the best homes we’ve ever stayed at!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely perfect stay – highly recommend! We had an amazing time staying at this property in Orlando! The location couldn’t have been better – just 13 to 15 minutes from all the Disney parks, which made getting to and from the parks each day so easy and stress-free. The house itself was fantastic – spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Each bedroom having its own en-suite was a huge bonus, especially for our girls – it gave everyone their own space and privacy, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The downstairs living space was also great for relaxing together as a family, and the kitchen had everything we needed for meals at home. The pool area was the cherry on top – clean, well-maintained, and perfect for winding down after long days in the parks. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more.

We had an amazing stay! As a family of three, we had more than enough space to relax and enjoy ourselves. The home was exactly as pictured—spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. The pool was perfect, especially for our 2.5-year-old, and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, which made it even more enjoyable. The location is fantastic—an easy drive to Disney and plenty of great restaurants nearby. Hanna was incredibly helpful and organized, providing us with all the details we needed before arrival, so we didn’t even need to reach out during our stay. We’ll absolutely be back the next time we visit Disney!

We had a great time at Hanna’s place. The home was spotless and well decorated. The beds were very comfortable, the sheets were soft, and the shower was hot and had great water pressure. We loved the pool and the game room and really appreciated all of the kitchen equipment. Hanna was quick to respond and always friendly and helpful. The only thing I would say is that if you really appreciate a ceiling fan in your home, this might not be the place for you because there isn’t one in any of the rooms. Such a lovely place, would highly recommend to anyone.
