This home was a great lay out for our family. There are two master bedrooms. The main master bedroom bed foot board had damage to it prior to out arrival and was a bit noisy to sleep on. We were at the parks early each day so the noise of the construction in the back did not really bother us, but it did sake the house at times which may explain a number of the cracked ceramic tile. The house was large and clean. Good stay here.

Nice,but a little tired. good, as always--but the property was a little tired. The mail box had been knocked down by previous occupants, of example. In addition, one of the beds broke in the middle of the night. Needless to say, the person in the bed was taken aback. The bed was never fixed.

We specifically rented this house so we would have a hot tub. We could have rented a less expensive house without one. We were not able to use the hot tub at all because it never got hot. Called for maintenance a few times but it never got fixed.

This house has everything you need for a vacation house. The only thing that I wish was different was being able to turn the A/C under 75. The bedroom off the kitchen would get hot at night. Other then that I would come back to this house for another Orlando trip.
Response from Florida Spirit Vacation Homes
Thank you for your kind review, Kennedy! A/C units, regrettably, do have a tendency of freezing over when the A/C is lowered past a certain point. Thank you for your feedback regarding this item. We look forward to your future visits with us!

Our stay during Memorial Day weekend could’ve been a complete bust but we did everything g in our power to make the best of it. As we pulled up to the house on Saturday, we discovered the trash can over flowing with trash on the ground around it as well. We figured the trash was going to be picked up soon. We went inside the house, everything was nice & clean. Furniture is dated, dining chairs stained. The pool needed to be cleaned. There was hair & debri floating in it. After leaving several emails to the host which went unanswered, we went to Walmart & purchased a net. The trash was never picked up until Tuesday. (Due to Monday being a holiday. The rep from Florida Spirit finally replied to our emails on Tuesday stating I should’ve called a number for emergencies provided on my check in email. (There is no such number). But basically pool is clean once/wk & trash is picked up once/wk. There’s a note on the garage door which says extra trash could be picked up by calling the number. But the number is incorrect. Prior to arrival I had no problem reaching the host, Brian via email. They did refund my hot tub heating fees. Overall our stay was good. No thanks to Florida Spirit Vacations. I would not stay at this property again because I think trash should be picked up daily, & pool should be cleaned more than once per week. Or at least before new guests arrive.

Once again we choose to stay in a Florida Spirit vacation homes property. Once again, we were not disappointed. We had the freedom to hang out at the home in the pool privately and not be concerned with any other visitors who may bring Covid along with them. Everything needed was in the home. And as usual - the pool was the best part for kids! We love the Champions Gate area, proximity to grocery store, food, convenience stores and access to Disney property.

We had a great time with my daughter and her family. It was a great place to spend time with each other since people were being encouraged to stay in snd not go out in public unless absolutely necessary. The one problem we had was the air condition, but it was manageable.When we first got there the air on one side of the house was working, but the other half of the house was warmer. By the time we left, it had reversed.

Because of the rips and holes in the mesh of the lanai area where the pool was located the LOVE BUGS and BUGS loved this villa there were hundreds of these little creatures every day around the pool as well as in the pool and the walls and patio doors were full of these insects but our last week of the holiday it was worse of all as well as outside of the pool area they were also in the 4 bathrooms they came up from the plug holes we just plug the plugs the mesh in the pool area was in very bad condition it was badly ripped all over me and my husband couldn’t even sit outside at night because we were bitten all over our legs and arms we didn’t complain to spirit vacation homes because when we arrived at the villa the alarm kept going off and when it went off every 30 seconds and we couldn’t sleep because of the noise so I phoned the management company in the middle of the night and spoke to a women who was not impressed I phoned her out of hours and she was not helpful ithink I woke her up ( at least she could go back to sleep) me and my husband had to hear the alarm going off every 30 seconds till the next day
It’s a shame because This villa needs a lot of updating and REPAIRING and when these changes happen this will be a great villa to stay in it’s in a great location

We had a great experience with Florida Spirit Vacation Homes. We stayed in West Haven area (American Manor, Davenport, FL). Great location, close to all of the Disney parks and also close to the main Champions Gate entrance. Our property was clean, well maintained and offered free pool heat during our stay. Instructions around the property were clearly visible (pool operations, garbage pickup, AC details...etc). I would defiantly recommend this property and Florida Spirit Vacation Homes to any of our friends and would defiantly consider using them for our next vacation.

From the beautiful and centrally located area, to the gorgeous house and pool, we could not have been happier. When getting a Lyft ride, the most we had to wait was 6 minutes. The layout of the house makes for privacy when you are in the bedrooms so we all got a really good night sleep. None of us had issues with the beds or the pillows. The house is well equipped with anything you could need. The pool was perfect and comfortable, even at night. We appreciated the floating devices for when my niece came to visit and she said she loved the bathtub and she has never felt more relaxed (she is 7yrs old!). My mom even went to gather oranges from the backyard and made juice. We can't say enough of what an amazing time we had and we can't wait to come back! Thank you!

The experience was great. Check in and out was seamless and the application was helpful in navigating our stay. The place was large enough for all of our guests and had all of the amenities necessary for an enjoyable experience. The location was perfect to keep us close enough to the attractions we wanted to visit and far enough away to not be completely immersed in the excitement. I did have a slight issue with the mattresses, they were very soft and thin which made getting a full night's rest tough but they were not at a point where it made the stay unbearable. All in all the property made for a very great vacation.

Overall Comment
Have loved this home and location for 7 visits. But we do think perhaps the owner should consider some routine maintenance/improvements at this point. Carpets, bedding, etc are showing age and wear and we have mentioned the poor quality of the mattresses for a few years. They are really uncomfortable. Appreciate the upgrade to outdoor table/chars, but lounge furniture could also use upgrading. Florida Spirit are helpful and co-operative, although this time we were disappointed that it took over a week to resolve poolheat issue. Secondary security lock on front door was broken; screening on lanai needed re-fastening in a couple spots. Just some small things and Really hate to complain because we have so enjoyed this home over the past few years. Just feel its time for a little sprucing up.Not necessary to use this review publicly on the property's site - just want to be honest and helpful to the owners.

We've rented from Florida Spirit 6 times in 8 years. The properties are generally clean and well maintained. We liked American Manor best of all of the shoe us we have rented. However we found the night representative on call to be unbelievable you rude. In the last the key code for the shoes was the last 4 digits of our reservation number, for some reason it wasn't included on the app so we had to call to get the code when we arrived,, late and tired after a cancelled and then delayed flight. The man told me to "shut up and stop talking while (he) was talking" I had him on speaker so my enitre family heard his rudeness. It started the experience badly and made me question whether to use Florida Spirit again

Overall Comment
With a family of seven, the luxury of a 4BR/4BA with 2 masters suites was truly delightful. The home was very well furnished, and even had hair driers, strollers, high chairs, and board games. The pool was small but large enough for the kids to enjoy and for us to watch them from the coolness of the living room with its large sliding door, so they were outside and we were enjoying the inside and all were safe! The hot tub was terrific. Great value, not too far from teh parts, and there were several pizza/chinese places that delivered if we didn't want to cook. A DVD player would have been very nice, but that is the only thing we wanted that wasn't there. We plan to return, it was a great value!

Love, love, love this house and location. Had a wonderful vacation.
Would, however, offer a couple recommendations to the owner:
1. It's time to upgrade the beds!! So uncomfortable, especially when the stay is extended (we were there almost four weeks)
2. Same for tvs - aging a little, don't you think? (we had quite a problem with the remote in the living room - worked very poorly)
3. Just for info for the Management Company, we experienced some visits from tiny, red insects (ants?) - seemed to come from the kitchen and bathroom drains and in dishwasher at night. Not a big issue for sure - just thought you might like to know.
Again - we enjoyed ourselves at this house immensely and hope to return. Just wanted to offer a few suggestions.
