March 2018 Update

Well it's been a busy 6 months.  Since Hurricane Irma left town we've been working at getting all the resulting repairs completed. We now have a new roof, new garage door, some screens around the pool were replaced and some minor interior repairs are still ongoing, but luckily no disruption to vacations has occurred!

We took a week this month to head to Florida for a quick trip. As usual we did some refreshing and updating, here's a little overview!


Master bathroom said good-bye to the wallpaper border and the paint got at refresh!



 In addition to the new refrigerator added in the summer, a new microwave joined the team this trip. We also added a new knife block and toaster.



 A new area rug for relaxing in the great room with your family and friends.



 We said good-bye to one of our old umbrella strollers and said hello to this cutie!


 Visiting the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot is one of our favourite things to do. So in keeping with our theme (Mickey's Garden Villa of course), we added this beautiful poster.


As a firm believer in the little touches, we thought positive affirmations for our guests were in order.

Lots of other little things were accomplished as well: new sheets, paint touch ups, and other routine maintenance.  We hope that people continue to visit and enjoy! We look forward to welcoming returning guests and getting to know new ones.



2017 Updates

It's been a long time since we posted and it's time we fixed that!  So lets get right to it. Continuous improvement is the name of the game and here is what has been done this year:




  • Games Room overhaul (this is the big one)




  • A new larger fridge to make big group vacations easier!



  • New outdoor clock and thermometer (F and C).


      • We added a new clock in our African room that has USB plug to charge your phone.  
      • Paint touch ups throughout.
      • A new hidden Mickey for our youngest guests to find.
      • New pool cues for the table.
      • New games, cards and shelf in the games room.
      • New linens, mats

      June 2016 Update

      We love to keep our guests, past and future, updated about our ongoing improvements at the house.  After a week in the Florida sun we are back home and want to share our most recent updates with everyone. Without further ado here they are!



      We have a brand new patio table and matching chairs.


      A brand new mat to welcome you to your home away from home.



      The pool deck has gotten a facelift. Are you ready for a vacation now?


      New light fixture in the Queen master bathroom.


      Our Alice bedroom has new bedding and some fun drapery.



      Quidditch supplies have made an appearance in our Harry Potter room.


      Some other minor items also include, new hallway lights, and new clothes hangers in all the bedrooms. Spring cleaning and maintenance items were taken care of as well.  We hope that all the little things make our guests vacations just a little bit more enjoyable.  We welcome all comments!
