Description

This Excellent Vacation Home is of the Excellent Standard category. The villa is situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac (no through traffic) in the Blue Ridge sub-division in Southchase, Orlando, close to the intersection of SR417 (Greeneway) and Orange Blossom Trail. It is therefore only minutes to the Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World theme parks plus some of the world’s best golf courses. There are supermarkets and dining (both formal and informal) nearby. Everything you could possibly need really is close at hand. This villa offers free high-speed internet (cable and Wi-Fi) plus free local and long-distance calling within the United States and Canada.

The villa has plenty extras to make your stay very enjoyable. It has been furnished to a good standard. When entering the villa the living room is straight ahead, with the dining room, kitchen and breakfast corner to the left of it, the 3 bedrooms to the right. There is a spacious, very well fitted kitchen. The breakfast corner, living room and Master bedroom all look onto the pool area. From the kitchen you have access to the garage where the washing machine and dryer are located. Iron and ironing board are present too.

The kitchen includes a full size oven, microwave, large fridge-freezer, waste disposal unit and dishwasher. There is also a full range of electrical appliances and utensils – pretty much everything you could want in your home away from home.

The breakfast area is right next to the kitchen. The living room with digital cable TV leads through the sliding patio doors to swimming pool area, with fences on both sides for your privacy and open in the back, offering a wide view of the large pond behind the villa. Pool deck chairs and sun loungers allow for late night, pool side relaxing. The pool at this home is warmed up by direct sunlight only; additional pool heating is not available at this time.

On the right, next to the living room area, you will find the three bedrooms. The master bedroom with Queen Bed is in the rear, with large walk-in closet and the en suite bath room, with vanity, garden tub with shower and toilet. This bedroom has cable TV. The other two bedrooms have 2 Single Beds each and their own closets. The shared bathroom for these bedrooms is right in between them, and has a vanity, shower tub and toilet. All bedrooms and the living room have ceiling fans.

Gostaria de expressar minha total satisfação a essa residência que deixará saudades, achamos melhor que nas fotos, fiquei com minha família 21 dias e amamos tudo, limpeza, organização, facilidade do check in e checkout, todos os parques de 10 a 15 min de carro e tudo perto tudo mesmo.

A piscina e o lago é um espetáculo a parte, que coisa linda para tirar umas fotos.

Algumas sugestões pq nada é perfeito, a poda das plantas na porta da entrada, as folhas que caem das árvores na porta da garagem e panos de louça.

Very nice house and good location.

Originally, I was disappointed with the property as the grass was very overgrown and the bushes as well. The decor is outdated and drab, the furniture is old and low quality. Also, there was a paper plate in the pool along with tortilla chips. The light in the middle bedroom was out because the pull string was broken and the guest tub had damage as well. I tried contacting the office several times but could not get through to an actual person. I finally resorted to an email to “Excellent Vacation Homes” which was not responded to. The positive aspects were the cold AC and the inside of the house was clean.

Amazing vacation stay.

Location was really good and house format was good though there are some miner fixes needed: 1. Dryer vent was clogged. 2 large stove burners do not work. 3 no hot water in bathroom sinks though showers okay. 4. 2nd bathroom sink drain stop does not work. 5. Bed headboards in two bedrooms not attached. With these fixes would stay there again.

This was a very basic and dated rental but it was perfect for our needs - Single parent driving kids to several venues. The location was perfect for driving to Universal, the OCCC, Disney, the airport and the beaches and Kennedy Space Center were only 90 minutes away. The close proximity to Publix and Aldi was awesome for trying to feed 4 kids on a budget and still be able to spend at the parks. The pool was good for a dip but on the smaller side. We enjoyed our time at our “touch down” pad. Thank you!

The house definitely needs extreme cleaning starting with the entrances. when opening the door the house had a bad smell, sheets and pillows also smelled bad, cobwebs on the walls and spiders in the bathtub. Definitely for the money that is paid for cleaning they need to change the employee. Thank God I brought my sheets and towels because I was disgusted to use the ones from home.

No worries with the alarm system and the front door opens with a code, which is very convenient.
No complaints during our stay in the Bluebridge area.

Excellent home with pool in a quiet cul-de-sac on a well kept street with loads of parking. We loved the laundry facilities and the pool was fabulous, superb view out for the back of the property. The place could do with a bit of TLC but we were staying at the end of the Summer so was looking tired. Did have problems via telephone where the Security company constantly called to chase an outstanding account t and whilst we informed the management company of this and a few other maintenance items which were amiss (toaster not working and glass table top dangerously balanced) they managed to send someone to fix/replace items but still were disturbed by phone calls day and evening from the same company chasing a debt!

The house has good bones but needs some serious maintenance and deep cleaning. The carpet needs to go. Vinyl slab would be great or a laminate. Things are just slowly deteriorating. It was not filthy on the surface and I felt comfortable cooking and showering. Just try not to look in the corners, under furniture and in between the beds and walls. The pool area was nice but again the area around the pool needs a good cleaning and some repairs to the screen. Good location and the rental process was easy and everyone I dealt with was very nice.

We had a great time at the Blue Ridge Retreat. The screened pool was the highlight. It was clean, well cared for and the furniture comfortable. Generally the furniture was good and comfortable. Plenty of linens.

One exception were the beds in the front bedroom. We had to take the mattresses and box springs off each bed to attach the frames properly. The mattress and box springs were literally falling off the frames because the two cross pieces were not attached properly and were pulling apart from each other. In moving the beds, there was a fair amount of cobwebs, dust in the corners of the room and on the carpet which we had to clean. The headboards are not attached to the frames. They were just held up by the wall and the mattress/box springs.

Also we found hair in the master bath shower on arrival.

The kitchen was very well supplied and the plastic dishes were great to take out to the pool area. Of the 3 frying pans, only 1 was in good enough condition to use. Helpful to have a washer and dryer.

The vertical blinds could be updated. They were impossible to turn and open except for those at the sliding doors. We used only the right sliding door and it was very difficult to open and close. Two hands held on the frame was needed to open or close it.

None the less we enjoyed our stay.

Great Experience...would use again

Nice home, roomy, better cleaning could be done as even my 6 year old pointed out the dirty window seals and the stained carpet. There's an odor to the house as well, we purchases Arm & Hammer carpet powder and that helped a lot.

Overall it was fine, would I stay there again? Probably not.

New carpet, plumber to fix the very slow drains, and a good cleaning would make a huge difference

Nice location, easy to get everywhere. Quiet location. Plenty of space
Biggest issue was not having hot water,, nice big tub but unable to use as water temp was not adequate.
Blinds need to be replaced, they constantly fell when used, no matter what I did.
Pool needs to be painted. There are stains that need to be fixed so pool doesn't look dirty.
Garage could be cleaned up as well, old art work, some small items that appeared to be trash against the wall.

Our stay at Blue Ridge in Orlando was great. The house was adequate but has the potential to be great with some paint well applied, and a power washer for the outside of the house..particularly windows and pool deck.
The location of the house is excellent. Easy, short trip to Disney, sea World, Universal studios, restaurants and shopping were appreciated.
The kitchen could use a casserole dish or two but otherwise quite workable.
The management company, was great and very professional. We had an air conditioner problem when we arrived and the company had a rep at the house within half an hour of our call. We had air conditioning within 2 hours.
I would certainly recommend this property.

We stayed in the villa for 2 weeks and it was perfect for our needs. It is in a great location with everything really close by. The aircon was a godsend as it was very humid for the first week. It could have been a bit cleaner though. The sofas were dirty with biscuits and rubbish underneath the cushions and the bedspread in the main bedroom had crusty white stains on also the pool deck could've done with a jet wash.That said, I would definitely stay there again and I would recommend it.

b. Beyond the house there was no free covered place under the screen, so every rain came trough the screens and soaked all furniture outside

Overall the location of this property in Orlando was great. We were about 15-30 minutes from parks and attractions anywhere in Orlando and had quick access to lots of dinning options. The neighborhood was nice, and despite our intentions to bring the trash and recycling to the curb ourselves, someone kept magically doing it for us. The building was in good working order and having the laundry was a big help. Value wise this was a great choice for my wife and our traveling companion. We only needed 2 of the 3 bedrooms, but having the 2 bathrooms was great. It is a self-catered place, so we hit the Publix around the corner to stock up on laundry soap, dishwasher pods and other basics to have on hand. We made use of the full kitchen to do some baking and to make some nice meals. While overall the pace was clean, it could benefit from a deep clean at some point. The air registers,walls and some of the cookware hadn't seen a deep clean in a while by our assessment. The pool was a little chilly in early March, but it was nice just hanging by the pool and watching the birds over the pond. The garage was filled with a ping pong table, which I guess we could have moved if we wanted to drive in, but we chose to play ping pong and park in the driveway. I would recommend this property for any group planing a week or longer stay in the Orlando area.

We took our parents back to the Orlando area after moving away 45 years ago. We needed a central location to revisit all of our childhood places of interest in a home that would accommodate the family. The home was spacious and well laid out. We liked the convenience of nearby restaurants and a nice supermarket when we did not want to eat out. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the pool after sightseeing all day. There were a few minor items that need attention but overall the house is well maintained. We would definitely stay here again.

The rental process was fine. I was just disappointed upon entrance to the home. The walls were dirty, the master bathroom tub had a slow drain. The pool was looks like it needs to be resurfaced. Then if you leave more than a bag of trash they say inform you of a $45 charge for more trash. The light that is on the front of the house keep coming on and off even if you were standing out front. Light fixtures had burn stains and plugs didn't work. I have stay in much nicer units than this one.
Manager response on 2017-12-27 - Response from Excellent Vacation Homes
Dear Riann, sorry to hear your experience was not fully meeting your expectations. We have taken your feedback to heart and started to address some of the concerns mentioned. We have touched up the paint on various walls (you were most likely looking at scuff marks, typically caused by suit cases when dragged along walls in hallways). The slow drain is an easy fix (piece of a bar of soap stuck in it). Please next time just call it in so we may address that on the spot, really for your convenience. We have also addressed the motion sensor on the lights above the font door. Thank you for making us aware. As we hardly ever visit our properties in the dark, we would not have known for a long time, really only if someone points it out to us like you now did. The trash guideline may come across a bit harsh, yet is really there for longer stay guests (multiple weeks), to emphasize the need for trash to go out on a weekly basis, to prevent the cleaners from getting stuck with tons of trash inside the house, on a guest departure day, with no means to take it anywhere. Our apologies if this came across too strict for your liking. Thank you again for your constructive feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

Hi Louise, thank you very much for your feedback. Wow, sorry to hear that you had an ant problem and that the space under the bed was missed during the vacuum. In the event that something like this would occur again, please call us so we may correct such a mistake immediately. We take your feedback to heart and will add some storage dishes to the, other than that, well-equipped kitchen. A TV in each bedroom is recommended more often, and up to the home owner for consideration. If any are added we will update the listing details stating that bonus feature. We hope we may welcome you back next time you visit the area!

House was in an excellent location but furnishings, especially mattresses were cheap and not very comfortable. House lacked enough towels.
Manager response on 2012-09-30 - Response from Excellent Vacation Homes
Dear Alfredo, thank you very much for this review. As each house should have enough towels for your use, we have done a recount after your departure and even though the inventory matched our guideline we decided to add a few extra. Next time just give us a call so we can correct this while you are here. We understand mattresses are very personal where it comes to preference for a degree of firmness. Most of our mattresses are of a medium to hard firmness, simply because the softer ones loose their firmness all together too quickly. Thanks again for staying that whole month with us and we look forward to seeing you again!

This was a wonderful home in a wonderful location in Orlando. We only had one problem and that was with the shower in the master bathroom. But since we just used the other shower it did not matter to us. I did however leave a note upon our departure. I would stay there again anytime I was in Orlando.
Manager response on 2012-09-30 - Response from Excellent Vacation Homes
Dear Maureen, thank you very much for your great review. The issue with the shower in the master bath had a very easy solution; the hot and cold water supply for this shower were reversed, so if you would have turned the knob the other way (towards 'cold') you actually would have received the hot water... Please accept our apologies if that caused any inconvenience. Next time anything comes up during your stay, simply call us as we are available 24/7 to attend to possible concerns. We look forward to seeing you again!

ants in the kitchen seem to be the only problem...not a dealbreaker just make sure you clean up and take out the trash every night.
Manager response on 2012-12-11 - Response from Excellent Vacation Homes
Thanks Adam for your great feedback. So ants seem to be a problem again now that the weather offers very little rain. The best way indeed to keep them out is to clean up and take the trash out daily. We have now also caulked a few tiny hair cracks in the seal around the kitchen window which may have allowed the ants inside a bit too easilly in the first place. Thanks again and we look forward to welcoming you again.

Very clean property, very attentive staff - couldn't find the towels on the first day, but eventually found them in the airing cupboard(!) - staff rang moments later much to our chagrin...doh.
We were lucky with the weather and moments by the pool with squirrels running around the screens were fun.
Would recommend this property very highly.

Dear Louise, thank you for a great review. Glad you enjoyed this wonderful vacation home.

The home was comfortable and and the furnishing were nice,but needs some updates. The carpet was dirty and the stove burners needed cleaning. A little mold in the master bath tub;a poor repair on the tile. Did not get to enjoy the pool because of the weather.
Manager response on 2013-02-28 - Response from Excellent Vacation Homes
Dear Jayne, thank you very much for your review and constructive feedback. This home is in the process of updating: the master bedroom was recently updated and next month (March) both bathrooms will be completely retiled and replumbed to create that more modern look. This work has been planned for some time but with the many confirmed bookings into this wonderful home we had to wait anothter month. This will take care of the tile repair concern too. Some carpet "stains" are actually cleaned areas but showing minor discolorations, left behind after deeper stain removal, which must be what you are referring too? Our apologies for the stove burners in need of cleaning; great feedback, thank you! We noticed that some grease residue on the flip side must have caused unnecessary burning of oil. We will make sure that during cleans we check the bottom side of each burner too. Thank you again and we look forward to welcoming you again the next time you visit the area.

Very good, but a couple of suggestions. We were expecting TV with cable in each room. The living room only had it which was dissappointing. The twin bedrooms can use new mattresses. And the couch in the living room was very uncomfortable. I would still hoghly recommend this property and the company for a quality experience.
Manager response on 2013-04-25 - Response from Excellent Vacation Homes
Dear Christopher, thank you for your review and feedback. Sorry we did not meet your expectations regarding TVs in each bedroom. Please note that the home is advertised with a flatscreen in the family room and only one other TV in the master bedroom. Your comment about the matresses must be the result of personal preference, as all matresses in this wonderful vacation home are brand new as of this last January (2013), and are said (by other guests since then) to be very comfortable. Thank you again and we look forward to welcoming you in the future.

Dear Sirs:
The house was just as expected a nice well located with all of the amenities of home. The house was clean and even had some chocalets upon our arrival. I stayed for two weeks and in the two weeks I only had issue with the pool light which they fixed right away. The only suggestion to the managers is to place two floodlights one in the front may on top of the garage door and another one in the back in the yard it gets very dark in both places. Otherwise you have to keep in mind is a vacation rental so for the price, size, and location is simple unbeatable.
Will most likely come back.
Sincerely,
Vivian
