Our stay
The property was nice but a little dated and needed some work doing to it. The kids enjoyed having a pool to swim in everyday. A couple of the bathroom sinks need replacing as they had rusty overflow holes. A couple of the showers where difficult to control the temperature. The smoke detectors where faulty took them a day to get the first one sorted so a couple of nights with a constant beeping. When they did sort it was efficiently dealt with. Every time you moved in the bed it would creak. It wasn’t just one bed it was all of the beds! Other than these points we did enjoy our holiday.

The property was very clean. There were a few things that should be fixed. I sent Owner email.
The one thing is the website for this property was not fully correct. There was not any pool tables, arcade games or a hot tub. Part of the reason I took this property was for all three of those things. Because we weren’t doing any Disney properties, those things could have kept us busy some of the days. I am still happy I rented!

10/10 Do NOT Book
Here is a list of everything that went wrong and how poorly the owner responded/didn’t respond 1. Arrived to find a leak in the bedroom hallway. Property manager had left a note, they were aware of the leak, and would have someone come fix it. Nobody came until 3 days after we arrived, and then we had to accommodate strangers in the home. The resolution was two giant, loud, industrial fans to dry out the hallway before fixing the dishwasher 2. The phone wasn’t connected. We had to use our out of country phones to call the property manager, just to find out they were closed when we checked in. We couldn’t speak with anyone until the Monday, and we arrived Friday evening. Safety hazard. 3.THE HOUSE WASN’T DECORATED AS ADVERTISED! The “Disney” room had Disney walls and that was it. The children we travelled with were disappointed. 4. We couldn’t use the heated pool as there weren’t any instructions left. Come to discover on Monday that it would cost $30/day. The owner never once informed us prior to renting this place. Also the property manager told us it was $30/ day to heat the pool and the owner said $15/day. Lots of misinformation between the 2. 5. There weren’t necessities within the home, such as extra toilet paper, paper towel, hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap, parchment paper/ tinfoil/ basic cooking appliances. Bought our own, which we didn’t budget for. No indication we’d need to buy these. 6. Owner stopped responding Many other points but out of space

Ac doesn’t cool house
House is in a good location. Lots of stores and restaurants close by. Unfortunately the ac wasn’t working and around 10:00 am the temp inside the home started to get hotter. Called management company spoke to a Jodie who said it was because ot was hot outside. I told her something was wrong with ac and it was running non stop all day. She told me I had an attitude. They did send ac company out and he said it was blowing cool air at 3:00 and the house should cool down. It didn’t cool down until 9 that evening. I messaged the owner twice regarding this and never heard back from him. We left early because I was tired of dealing with the issue. Spoke to the owner of the management company on Saturday and she was going to reach out to the owner. 2 days later still haven’t heard from the owner.

Property was as listed
It was a very nice vacation. My entire family was accommodated well. However, there was so much trouble with the TV in the living area. Every day it was a battle. The cable in the queen bedroom did not work at all. The shower in the master bedroom quit working while we were there, and that gave us some difficulty. Additionally, the blow dryer in the master bedroom did not work. The two queen beds were not so comfortable 🥴 Other than that, the property is as described, the neighborhood was beautiful, all of our surroundings were wonderful, and we had a great time visiting amusement parks and going to beaches.

What not to expect
The overall condition of the property was excellent. The drawbacks were the practical inexistent internet and the distance required to walk to any amenities. The lake, basketball and tennis courts, and Clubhouse are all at least 1/4 mile from each other. Minor but annoying inconveniences. Would do it again with the right companions.

However had been reconnected but did not work. Flooded bedroom adjacent to garage and the garage itself. Had laundry that we had to remove after 6 spin cycles and dried and put back into our dirty clothes for return home. New washer arrived day before checking out but maintenance person had called in sick so old washer never removed and new one never installed. Should have demanded money to be returned to us.

Nice spacious house very clean could use a couple updates
Stayed for a week because our daughter played college softball down in Kissimmee. House was clean upon arrival . Checking in at the was a bit of of process due to many people checking in at the same time . Each car had to give drivers license and get their mirror tag . After initial check in at gate was easy to go through as long as people in front of you were not checking in for first time . Lock box only had only one key when we arrived . I called the property manager and did tell them there was only one . She took my number and I thought I would get a call back on Monday but did not . So we had only one key for two families to use . There master bathroom had a sink that was kinda rusted out could use some tlc on that sink . Kitchen stove could be replaced very worn hard to cook on . Other than those small items house was clean & spacious . Would stay again if in the area .

Great family vacation
We went to the Disney parks so we didn't spend a lot of time in the house but the time we did spend there was relaxing. There was six of us (all adults) and we had plenty of room to have some privacy when we wanted it. Some of the furniture is a little dated but overall we had a great time and I would definitely stay here again.

I've stayed at many VRBO homes and this one is the worst. Not that it was terrible, but there were many issues with the property.

Never again!
Never received check in packet. Took 45 minutes to get in touch with the owner of the house to get the code for lock box. Once inside the house was not clean. The property manager did not know the house was booked for the week. The description of the house stated 1 king bed , 2 queen beds and twin beds in the other rooms, there was the king bed 1 queen and 1 full and the twin beds. The mattress on the full bed was so bad the couple slept on the couches.. The tv in the king master suite did not work one of the sinks in the master bathroom had a big hole in it. I questioned the owner of the house about some of the reviews and he assured me the had been taken care of but they had not! Will only be renting homes with more positive reviews…. Just say lesson learn!

Things Could have been Better
When we arrived on Saturday, it wasn't the cleanest place that we've rented. A surface cleaning appeared to have been done. We still had to do some cleaning before unpacking. I contacted the managing agency on Monday informing them that the dryer did not work. They informed me that the owner knew and was going to handle it. I emailed the owner and it was at least three days before I received a response. I requested some time refund as we couldn't dry our clothes. In addition, the game room had no games as shown on the site. The stove top had only one eye working on our last day. It's a nice place, but could be better. The area is very nice. I hope that the owner accepts this feedback and take the opportunity to check out the place to update/make changes.

This rental made my vacation complete
This rental for the price was amazing. And communication with the owner was very easy, he always got back to me. In regards to negative comments in the past….property is a little outdated but you can clearly see the owner takes all constructive criticism seriously. The furniture (2out of 3 couches) are new, carpet is new and beautiful tile floor in The kitchen and surrounding areas. Clean linens and towels. Plenty of space for all. For the common areas (that are shared by the entire complex) needs an overhaul but you can see they are working on everything. And this place is close to all Disney attractions! Never took me more then 20 minutes to get to a park and get home. I booked for 10 days and between the convenience and the amenities this property has to offer, I would rebook in a heartbeat!!! Thanks Ade- 😊

review
the property was not bad, however couple of things. the sheets on almost all the beds did not smell right, almost smelt of food. there was a tiny tadpole in the pool and its enclosed so i wonder where it came from ?????!!!! the mattresses/ beds were supercreeky and just turning over in the bed at night would wake up you and your partner. the people / guests next door decided to have a pool party starting after midnight till about 3am, so that night was ruined. its not this property's fault but when you check-in make sure you have the no to call so you can report this happening and it can stop , so you can sleep.

Nice house, less than 40 minutes from Universal
Booked this house for a week so that we could visit Universal Studios. The house was nice, very clean, a little dated, but nothing horrible. The only thing we think could be i.proved we're the mattresses (just getting kind of old and showing their age), and the kitchen table and chairs. The table was fine, the chairs were showing their age and amount of use. Honestly though, neither thing took away from the house much. It is a little dated, but that's to be expected sometimes and after reading other reviews, I wasn't shocked. We did have some neighbors that were rather loud a few nights but that wasn't a reflection on the owners of this house. We called the security guard that was on duty and were told to call the sheriff's and have them come out, and if they came out and it happened again, they renter's would be asked to leave. So for the most part, it was a nice, quiet stay. The pool was nice, my 10 year old loved it (had to drag her out of it most nights), the house was great, plenty of room for the 7 of us to spread pout and it was conveniently located close to Disney and Universal. The price was great as well. The couch and love seat were brand new, BTW, so I'm guessing the furniture is always a work in progress!!

We are looking into these matters you've raised. We have informed the management company to give an update on the state in which the house was left after you vacated the property. This is a regular check we do with all tenants. We are waiting for feedback. We did get a positive result; you will get 25% of your booking back. We are also looking into the other issues raised. As you are aware all this is being handled by the management company and we depend on them for feedback. We have been informed that all the issues raised by you have been looked into and resolved. Thank you for contacting us about those issues you raised, we visit the property every 6 months but the covid pandemic means we have not visited for a while, we are in constant communication with the management company. though almost on a weekly basis, to ensure the property is in a good condition. We are priced appropriately as you mentioned you could not find another home in the area in the same price range with sizes as big as our home. It is sad that you mentioned you want 50% of your money back before you can remove your review, this doesn’t sit well with us. No one really goes on holiday with the intention of getting 50% of their money back, and then threaten the homeowner to leave a bad review if you do not get 50% refund back just left a bad taste in our mouth. Even VRBO frowns against this sort of behaviour. You requested a late checkout and because of the inconvenience, we waived the $75.00 charge. We are just bothered that if the home was so bad as you have stated, why the request for late check out...Here is your requesting post [ .. i requested they at least waive the late check out fee they said they can but need your permission can you please waive the 75 fee for the late check out Thank you ... ] and complain about the fee our management company told you to pay. Today we received an email from our management Company =============================== Good morning Attached are the pool photos, I’m not sure how the guest thinks this is dirty. Please ask them for photos of the dirty pool. Thank you D. R

The review has come as a great shock. We have not been to the property this year (2020) at all due to the Covid-19; we do a bi-yearly inspection to ensure the villa is up to standard. We have passed on your review to our management company based in Florida. All the issues observed will be addressed promptly; we have also asked for updated pictures to ensure that all issues raised are fixed.

Very clean and spacious
This home is in a gated community of almost all vacation rentals. It's a very nice location with Walmart 5 minutes away. It was very clean. A few minor updates would make it perfect (ie. Resurfacing the pool) but it did not effect the quality of our vacation. While there are many amenities, there are a few things you should bring along: *extra toilet paper *paper towels *Dish washing soap and sponge/dish rag *Hand soap *beach towels We truly enjoyed our stay and would rent again in the future. Thank you for a relaxing vacation.

Outdated
The property is sufficient but very, very outdated. The ceiling fans are filthy as well as the air filter. I'm afraid if we actually spent any time in the house that we may have encountered breathing issues. The sink in the master bedroom is rusted, the kitchen floor needs replacing and the whole place needs a good, thorough clean and update. I was shocked that the toilet paper didn't even get us through a day, having to make a special trip, with the extremely long lines at WalMart. It would have been nice to know to bring a trash bag and some dish soap from home as you can't buy just 1 trash bag in the store. Whenever I've rented a house before, the previous inhabitants would leave whatever they didn't use. Not here - unless the cleaning crew wipes everything out and takes it home for themselves. Also, there was not a cloth in the kitchen to wash dishes and we had to use a bath wash cloth. There was no bathmat and no wash cloths in the master bedroom. There was also strict instructions to call the manager immediately when we arrived to advise them we were there, and they didn't even answer the phone when I called. Again, the place is sufficient but probably would not stay at this property again. That being said, the neighborhood is beautiful with the lake, BBQ pits and man made beach.

Everything you need for an enjoyable vacation
My first impression of the house was how spacious and comfortable it was. I stayed for 5 days in October, the pool was heated and really enjoyed with my family. The communication with the owner and the management company was really fast, the check in and check out was pretty smooth. You will feel safe at Lake Berkley Villa, It is a gated and quiet community. Walmart is only 3 minutes away.

Everything we needed for a great holiday
Fantastic location - close enough to everything you're likely to want to do in Florida. The property was good, although it probably could do with a bit of money spending on it, but for the price it was excellent value. Shame about a few bits and bobs (like the pool table - so uneven that it was unusable), but hardly catastrophic to an enjoyable holiday. If I were the owners, I'd probably spend a little cash on tidying up the pool itself, and perhaps a little bit on one or two fixtures and fittings, but generally the property was perfect for our needs. Easy to get to, secure and safe - the residents, other holidaymakers and visitors were all welcoming and warm. All in all - everything we wanted & nothing that we didn't need.

Highly recommend it!
The community as a whole was beautiful and very well kept. The home itself was also well kept, clean, and very comfortable for.our size group of 6. The pool was a HUGE perk! We even went fishing at the nearby lake and caught some bass! Everything from check in to check out went very smoothly. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars was because the beds (except in the master bedroom) could use an upgrade. They were squeaky and hard. Otherwise everything was wonderful! I would definitely rent this property again without question!! Thank you for helping make great memories!!

Great place to Vacation
Upon arrival at this villa the overall appearance was neat and clean. We stayed here for two months and plan to return each year for our winter vacation. A walk around the lake watching for birds, turtles and alligators is very tranquil . Local facilities are good, and only15-20 mins from most amusement parks, roads were easy and the result was that the area was very quiet, appreciated after a long day of enjoying the amenities in the area. All correspondence with the owner was prompt, thorough and professional, and the management company were very proactive in sorting a minor issue with the few things that had to be addressed. Overall thoroughly recommend and look forward to staying at this Lake BerkleyVilla again next year.

Bug infestation and AC problems and pool was dirty
There was bugs everywhere including the garage. There where lots of ants on the tables and on the couches and the AC would not cool the house. The temp in the house went up to 80 degrees and the pool was never cleaned during the 2 weeks we where there. We tried to contact the manager but we never got an answer back. There was no pool table or game room as stated on the app and there where blood stains on the sheets. Owner needs to pay more attention to property.
