Great vacation!
Reviewed on 2023-05-12 by Dennis C. , Rio Rancho, NM UnknownMy family had a wonderful time.The rental location was close to all attractions.The pool and jacuzzi were perfect. Master bedroom bed could be updated but not too bad.The two alligators in the pond were an added attraction. The home itself was clean and served our needs with no problems. Communication with any questions was prompt. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to Florida. I recommend this rental to any family looking for a perfect getaway.

Davenport Florida 2022
Reviewed on 2022-02-28 by , Brooklyn, CT USThis home is in a great spot in the neighborhood. The home is large and the amount of space was great. It needs a deep cleaning. The vent to the air conditioner was filthy. The light switches and plugs were very dirty. The beds and the living room furniture were not comfortable. We had to have service people come in four time to repair things. If the owners spent a bit of money with maintenance, this place would be great. I realize that it is a rental, but I shouldn’t need to clean when we arrive. If it was updated, and cleaned better I would recommend it.
Comfortable house with a good vibe
Reviewed on 2021-12-24 by Philippe P. , Maastricht, LI NetherlandsThe value for money is excellent with a heated pool and hot tub. Nice rooms and good beds.
Also the service from Excellent Vacation homes is great.
We rented the house because we we attending a conference in Orlando. Although the house is a bit of a drive (about 30 minutes) from the Orange County convention center (I-drive) it is worth the extra time.<br/>The value for money is excellent with a heated pool and hot tub.

Don’t believe what you see in the pictures.
Reviewed on 2021-11-15 by , Davenport, FL USWe’ve stayed in several VRBO properties all were as they were portrayed in their photos, not the case this time. The house and pool/patio are laid out nicely. It has a beautiful view out the back of the pond area. The neighborhood is quiet and the house has a very good security system. Although dated, it’s tastefully decorated and was very clean. However, there are issues. The AC filter was impacted with dust and dirt an inch thick. The house has a bad odor which permeated our belongings. It has structural issues...cracks in the outer wall of the house in the patio area with moss and ferns growing in the cracks...mildew and dirt everywhere. On the inside of the house the wall has water damage along the baseboards and the plaster board is deteriorating. The living room furniture is not the same as pictured and is very uncomfortable as are the beds in the upstairs master bedroom and the bedroom downstairs. The kitchen and dining tables and chairs are very rickety and rather beat up. Only half of the bi-fold doors on the laundry area hanging, the other half are leaning against the wall. Half of the vertical blinds in the dining area over the patio door are missing. Sadly the house is not as pictured in the photos and seems to be left to rack and ruin.
Bridgewater House Davenport FL
Reviewed on 2021-08-22 by Scott M. , Vance, AL USThere is a pond across the street with an alligator and we did get to see it enjoying a meal (wild hog) as best as we could tell!
Disney Parks we’re about 10 miles away but depending on traffic could take about 30 minutes to drive.
I would stay there again because of the space and the outdoor pool area!
Spacious enough for 8-10 people. Two of the bedrooms with the twin beds worked for our older teenagers/younger adults but are really more suitable for younger children. The lenai with a private pool was awesome especially after spending a day ar Disney parks! The pool did get chili at night even though it was late July/early August so I would suggest paying extra for heating the pool. The kitchen appliances and counters were a little outdated but were more than adequate as we were not there to cook and eat much. There was not a grill that I could find at the property so no grilling pool side.<br/><br/>There is a pond across the street with an alligator and we did get to see it enjoying a meal (wild hog) as best as we could tell!<br/><br/>Disney Parks we’re about 10 miles away but depending on traffic could take about 30 minutes to drive. <br/><br/>I would stay there again because of the space and the outdoor pool area!

Great vacation - Good Location but house needs some TLC
Reviewed on 2018-04-02 by , Oxford, IN United StatesAppreciated the laundry but the washer was extremely noisy and the dryer took a long time to dry clothes. We also noticed that the vent hose was broken and actually open to house.
Since we’re from the north, we always look forward to having access to a pool and hot tub. We paid extra for pool heat but should have passed. The pool and spa are only heated to 86 degrees which rapidly cools during the night so we didn’t have a chance to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. While described as a hot tub/spa it was really just an extension of the pool with bubbles and too cool to enjoy. The first night we used the bubbles caused the water level to drop drastically in the spa area and move to the pool. We had to stop the bubbles and exit because the water level went nearly down to the jets. Lanai was nice but the screens need some TLC and patches. Some of the items I’ve addressed are minor and the house really is a good rental option for a large group. Four spacious bedrooms, three baths and plenty of community space too. Management calls were handled promptly and professionally.
As an experienced FL renter for over 25 years, our overall stay was good. I would definitely consider other properties by this management company. They really offer great customer service. This is a large, well decorated home situated on corner lot. It is within easy driving between Davenport eateries and Disney plus Kissimmee area too. Convenient location is great. As compared to other properties we’ve stayed, the interior has minor dings and scrapes on walls where luggage was likely dragged that need TLC. There are a few amenities that could use updating. Although there were a lot of utensils in the kitchen we only found an odd collection of glassware. We would have appreciated some plastic glasses or plates for safe use around the pool. There were no pool towels either. We made do with bath towels but would have appreciated larger pool towels.<br/>Appreciated the laundry but the washer was extremely noisy and the dryer took a long time to dry clothes.

The villa is a nice size and comfortable with all amenities needed for a vacation. We were pleased with the pool /lanai area which overlooked a lake where we'd occasionally sight a gator, turtles over the other side of the lake and we'd be visited by cute sand cranes which would be seen regularly around the estate. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of bedding and towels. The management team were very helpful prior to our arrival, answering all queries promptly and fully.

Our golf foursome enjoyed a delightful four night stay here. Comfortable, clean and close to good golf courses esp. Providence and Celebration. Helpful to have free telephone calls to Canada. Pleasant community to walk around in, short drive to Publix<br/> and Applebees. Wildlife comes free (the alligator likes to sun himself on the far side of the pond).

Reviewed on 2015-05-08 by Eli N. , Rockford, Illinois United StatesOverall this was great. A few small issues, but overall it was a great experience. I would have liked to be asked if I wanted the pool heated in advanced, not knowing it was optional. Also, I would have liked to park inside the garage (but this may not be standard so it's OK). The front door keypad was very hard to use, but not a huge issue either. Other than that, this BLEW away any hotel room. The privacy and multiple rooms made us feel like it was "our" home. We will certainly use again!

This was the first time renting a vacation home And we were very pleased. The only reason it didn't get all 5 stars on all things is that the master bed upstairs was very hard and the pillows were like bags of cement. ( very hard) When we need help a quick phone call and all was solved. Pool was awesome a little cold but nice anyways. Wish I looked over some of the paper work better to have the hot tub water hot. Would have been nice after both days at the parks If we ever visit back in the Orlando area we will rent agian. Thanks for the great stay. <br/>Kelly

Returning to Orlando
Reviewed on 2011-11-28 by Howard M. , United StatesWe found being located 2 miles or so from the I4 (exit 58)at Davenport south west of Orlando was very convenient for our purpose.
