Very Impressed!
This house was absolutely amazing. The two master bedrooms was awesome. The beds were very comfortable, There was also an ample amount of towels for bathing and he pool. Free pool heat was great along with the jacuzzi.Kitchen supplies were spot on. I cooked just about every night the week i was there. Plenty of plates and cups to go around.I will definitely rent this house again from Penny. BY THE WAY PENNY WAS AWESOME AND QUICK TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS.
Perfect for families with young kids!
First off I debated between hotel and house rental for months. I am soooo glad I picked house! This rental was perfect for my family. My toddlers we very comfortable with all the amenities. I didnt feel like i was scrambling to find kids plates and silverware or nervous about locks on doors/ access to pool. You simply can not get these things at a hotel. After a week at Disney my kids talk about the house more then Disney!
Amazing!!!
Gorgeous house,, gorgeous area! Perfect place! Game room Was incredible pool hot tub perfect! Amenities are top class! Penny is fantastic to deal with! This place is an easy 10!!!! Can’t wait to go here again!
Louisiana Family Visit to Orlando
This was a perfect place for our large family to use as a base for our Orlando visit. The only regret is that we did not leave more time to spend at the house to play in the pool, hot tub, and awesome game room. We spent most of our time at the near-by Disney parks, and the kids always wanted to stay up late for a swim and round of games at the end of the long days. The house was clean and had all the right amenities for a vacation house. They have done a great job of figuring out just what the traveling family needs in a vacation house to make the trip easy and enjoyable. We will definitely come back to this house for our next Orlando trip and plan our trip around its availability, it is the best VRBO we have ever used!
Fabulous Holiday
We just returned from our second visit to the Huber's Disney Getaway. My grandchildren, ages 8, 10 & 14, didn't know what to do first. The game room is a kid's dream (and an adult's too)! Nothing like coming home from the Disney parks and relaxing in the pool or spa. The house is well equipped; bedding is comfortable; appliances, TVs and furniture are all first class. The location of the house is easy to get to from the airport and very close to Disney. I was pleased to meet Penny on this trip. Kudos, Penny! You and your husband present a lovely, comfortable home for your guests! The special touch of Christmas decorations was very warming!
Loved It!
Wonderful place to stay! Our family loved having our own private pool and hot tub! The game room was a huge hit! It was very clean and everything we needed was there! We brought or own stroller to get there and find that they supply literally every item you would need for a kid! Super quick and easy Access to all the parks! We would Def recommend this house
Absolutely wonderful!
We spent a wonderful week at the Funtastic Getaway. The house was clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Beds were comfortable and the linens in the bathrooms were clean and high quality. Having a new washer and dryer on-site made things much easier on me as I was able to pack lighter and wash everything prior to us returning home. Everything we needed to cook was available, including a full size fridge and freezer. The game room was a huge hit with our kids. Our boys (6 and 8) loved the racing game and air hockey table, our girls (2 &4) loved the play diner and train table. The private pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all of us. It truly was a great spot to come back to after a long day at the parks. The resort itself is clean and quiet, the clubhouse has a great little fitness center and a beautiful pool and hot tub, complete with a pool-side bar. This place has everything you need for a fantastic vacation and we can't wait to visit again in the future.Penny was readily available to answer any questions we had about the house. We had an issue with one of the Xbox controllers and Penny went above and beyond to handle it. We also managed to leave our 2-year old's beloved elephant behind on our day of departure and Penny went out of her way to ensure that "Ollie" was returned to us in a timely manner. Thanks so much for everything, Penny!! We look forward to calling your beautiful house "home" next time we visit the Orlando area.
Beautiful, clean, comfortable and completely equipped home!
If you're looking for a place to stay- look no further!! This house has everything! It really feels like home away from home. The pool and games room were such a big hit. The house is so close to restaurants and shopping and the magic kingdom only took us 15 minutes to get to so this house is ideally located. We were 2 families in the house and we had more than enough room. The family we traveled with had very small children and everything you could possibly need was available in the home for a toddler and a baby at no extra charge!!! Penny was so quick to respond to any questions that we had making it a pleasure to deal with her. Book this house- you will not be disappointed!!!! We are planning for next winter already :)
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house... I think most of my family would have preferred to just stay at the house all week instead of visiting the parks! The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the game room was awesome! Penny was a joy to deal with, any communications were returned promptly and she was very informative about the area. We have stayed in this resort one other time in a different house and the experience was not very pleasant but my family has all said if we ever return to Disney that they want to stay in this house again! Thanks for making our vacation that much more enjoyable!!
This house is a gem! It is immaculate and beautifully appointed, and much thought has been given into anticipating guests wants and needs. The kitchen had every necessary item that you could think of; the bathrooms had plenty of quality towels, the bedrooms had plenty of extra blankets and pillows, - -the list goes on and on. The house was such a lovely respite from the hustle and bustle of the Disney parks. The pool and spa were wonderful, and very private as there are bushes on each side of the lanai screening the next-door neighbors, and the neighbor behind us was quite a bit away and their pool was down a slope, so you could not see them. The game room was a huge hit with the family, especially my two children (age 14 and 11). Although the kids were initially excited about having a PS 4 and XBOX One in their bedrooms, between the pool and the game room, they never even turned them on once!! Also, I really appreciated the communication Penny provided during the rental process as well as her responsiveness to the questions I had before and during our stay. We were all so sad to have to leave this beautiful home, and we hope to have the opportunity to stay here again in the future!
This is our third time staying at one of Penny's properties, and our first at this Funtastic home. Located in the gated and well-kept Emerald Island complex, just south of Disney's Animal Kingdom, it is a beautiful, clean, totally family friendly place, and like her other home(a mirror image of this one in structure), we(family of 4, 2 daughters 10 & 12) wholeheartedly give it our highest recommendation. We, as a family, travel everywhere and stay at many VRBO/Homeaway props. You can't beat this one for comfort, fun, service, ease of booking, and price. The place was immaculate and welcoming when we arrived. Themed bedrooms and bathroom for the kiddoes, 6 TV's! and movies, nice furnishings, clean pool and bbq, top appliances, plenty of kitchenware, comfy beds, and, of course, the garage has been made into a game room with quality arcade games: Super Cars race(our girls love driving the 27 different courses) and Nascar pinball. There's also a hockey game, pool table, baby accessories, and good washer/dryer. Grocers nearby, lots of restaurants, mini-golfs, cheesy giant gift shops; International Drive and the Convention Center is about 20 minutes(traffic allowing), same for Universal/Islands of Adventure(our favorite park by far!). Cocoa Beach about 1 hour away. Which house do we like better? That's a toss. The kids like them equally the same. Penny's other house has different arcade games; it had a 3-D TV in the living room; this one has a nice greenbelt and palm trees behind it; We found both quiet, and to the same high standard. Book well in advance- you'll need to! Penny and her homes are the best. "We'll be back" P.S. May I suggest, if you have an issue with your stay here that you contact the owner. She is readily accessible and prompt, and, within reason, will take care of the problem:)
Furnished to a high standard with everything you could have needed and more! Clean and comfortable - brilliant to come back to after a long day having fun. The pool and games room were fantastic - we were so sorry to have to leave it all. We are a family of 5 with 3 young teens. This was far superior to any villa we had stayed in before. We will definitely be back!
This was by far, THE absolute BEST property that I have stayed at in all my years of coming to Emerald Island. My family comes every other even number year for a "family reunion". We have been coming since 2000. We book approximately 10 - 15 houses. This year, almost 200 family members came. Three of my family members had houses that should have been condemned by license and inspection. The conditions of their houses were deplorable and I am not exaggerating. My house was not JUST a house. It was a home. Having just loss my brother 2 months prior to be arriving, I was in a very dark place. If I have ended up with a house like some of my other family, it would have been very difficult for me to pull myself together for the sake of my grands, who enjoy me because I am silly, I am cool, I am fun and I am the greatest grandmom ever (in their words). But because my house was filled with some much love, warmth and signified "family", I felt my brother's presence their entire week. It was overwhelming, but good. I really believe that this house provided an atmosphere of healing for me and I am truly grateful for that. I can not begin to express the gratitude I have for the blessing of staying in your home. The layout was very accommodating and age appropriate for my grands. It was clean and well kept. I had an issue with the AC and it was addressed immediately. I am very familiar with the area and I do like the new restaurants that were added but my absolute favorite was the WAWA on 192. I LOVE THEIR COFFEE TO START MY DAY. Forever grateful.
We spent a week in Penny's home in April of 2016. We have stayed in nearly a dozen rental homes in Florida in the past 6 or 8 years, and this was one of the cleanest I've seen. Despite feeling like a brand new home, it was comfortable and very well furnished with everything we needed. The pool area was among the most private in the resort, and we all loved the game room. The home is minutes away from the theme parks (especially Animal Kingdom) and there are dozens of restaurants and shopping areas within a mile or two. Penny was very pleasant and responsive, and provided clear information and instructions before our stay. Everything was exactly as described. We would happily rent from Penny again in the future. TIP: If you sit in just the right spot in the spa and look out over the pool at night, you can see the fireworks (I think they're from Epcot.)
Wow this vacation home was beyond exceptional. I've been vacationing in the area for 6 years and this home by far was the best of the best. So bright and clean, well laid out and all the extras were much appreciated. Like the basket of towels right by the door, TV's (with great channel line ups) in every room, gaming consoles and of course the amazing games room. When our son wanted a little reprieve from the heat or in the evenings he was entertained. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful stay. The pool, spa and green space out back was spectacular. Unlike some homes I've stayed in everything was actually in working order and exceeded our expectations. So many amenities were included which was also much appreciated. I had some friends for a bbq one evening and they too were very impressed and were checking out next years calendar themselves. Which is quite full I might add and it's no wonder. Penny was a gem to deal with and I had my security deposit back before I even arrived home. I wouldn't consider booking with anyone else in the future. The challenge will be availability of this amazing home. My only complaint is my stay wasn't long enough. If you rent this home you will not be disappointed. Also the Emerald Island resort itself was quiet and very well maintained.
Owner Response
Thank you Julia
Our stay at the house was perfect! We enjoyed the gaming room a couple of nights and the pool and hot tub when on down times from Disney. We would stay again for sure during our next trip to Disney! Thanks Penny! Gary MacRae
We just arrived home from an amazing vacation with my family at Penny’s home, Disney’s Funtastic Getaway (Love the Name). From the first time I spoke with Penny I knew I was getting into the right home. We have rented 4 other homes from HomeAway all over the US and what I really like with Penny is the communication. She emails a Deposit Receipt that shows your payment, balance due, and due dates. She also mails a Welcome packet with all kinds of house info, area info, park info, etc. Absolutely perfect! All the other times we rented I never once received any personal communication from the owner detailing anything. I would have to search HomeAway for any information that I might need and hope for the best. The House: Perfect, not much more to say. The game room is GREAT if you want to shoot some pool, play the driving game, or just hang out. The house was also super clean. Another thing I really liked was that the home was great if you have a toddler/baby. We felt really comfortable letting our 14-month old roam around the house without being worried that she would get hurt. I asked about safety plugs for the outlets prior to arrival and Penny said that they replaced all the outlets in the entire house with Child Safe outlets. No safety plugs needed!! The Emerald Island resort is very well maintained. We had some other family staying in houses nearby and had no problems letting the kids walk to the other houses by themselves. We went down to Florida with two other families, (3 houses in total). The two other families had issues with their houses from day one. My cousins house had a very cold pool even though they had to pay extra for pool/spa heat (unlike Penny’s house). My brother’s house had several items broken down in the game room. To top it off the owners of both homes were very difficult to reach when needed. You will not be disappointed with this house, the owner, the community, or with the company that manages this property. Bottom line, she really cares about her house as well as her guests enjoying themselves.
This property was well maintained and had a great location. Close to Disney but away from the crowds. We were able to enjoy peace and quiet after a busy day at the parks. Loved the game room. After renting this house, my kids will never want to stay anywhere else! The house was so clean that I actually let the boys take a bath in the tub and walk around without shoes. Something I never let them do in a hotel. Every time we are in the Orlando area, this will be where we stay!! The owners are great and also sent the deposit back the very next day.
The home was wonderful and very comfortable. We were so excited to walk in and see a Christmas tree and the cozy decor. The pool and game room were awesome and we had a lot of fun in both areas. The home was very close to all the Disney Parks and made a wonderful relaxing retreat after our long days in the parks. Thank you so much and we look forward to coming back.
Disney's Funtastic Getaway was absolutely everything we expected and more. The home was very clean, well equipped with everything you need (or MIGHT need): extra blankets, sheets, games and toys for all sizes an ages, equipment such as a booster seat for my 5 yr old grandaughter. The game room was phenomenal with pool and air hockey tables, the Fast and Furious sit down driving game and Nascar pin ball machine! The pool and spa were clean and well kept and it was so nice to have it to ourselves, much better than a hotel. There were numerous restaurants and grocery stores nearby. We planned and saved for 8 months for this vacation and I would do it all again for the opportunity to stay in Penny's home. She sent an informational packet before the trip that included special instructions and directions to avoid the major traffic to the parks. The resort was gated and safe and seemed far away surrounded by nature but only about 5 miles from Disney! Penny was available by phone and e-mail and responded quickly when I called her. I overpaid her by $250 for the remainder of the trip and she refunded my money within a week, I would never have known so I appreciated her honesty. This was a wonderful trip and truly a dream come true. The Harrison family, from Tennessee October 2015
As first timers to Disney it was an unknown minefield not knowing what to do for the best. I can honestly say that staying in this "FANTASTIC" holiday home was the best decision we made. Penny was very prompt with any response and friendly. It was truly home from home very sad to have left. Great location, spotless and well kitted out to meet all needs of the family. Age for us ranges from 6y-70y it was spacious, modern and had everything and much more for your stay. Close to all area around Disney and easy to find. The site itself was excellent and everyone friendly. We didn't wanna leave and we are saving again to return so 5star all round. Thankyou for making and being a part of our first Disney experience xx
Our stay in the home was very nice , there was plenty of space for all 7 of us and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub every night after long days of excitement! The kids also enjoyed the game room we loved all the little things about this home it had everything we needed thanks again for letting us stay in your home we had an amazing time! The Mills Family
We loved this home it accommodated everyone's needs, the pool and game room was a hit with the kids. It was very clean and comfy! We looked forward after long exhausting days coming back to the house and relaxing by the pool and grilling! Loved that we could hook up our phones to the Bluetooth speaker and listen to music by the pool! Over all we had a wonderful stay at your lovely decorated, comfy home! We would definitely recommend this house to any if our family and friends!! Thanks again for making our stay feel right at home!
Hi Penny! Our stay at your home was simply amazing! It was very, very clean and it had all the amenities of home, plus more! My wife loved the layout of the house plus the additional space of the patio and pool. It is located in a very nice, quiet area that is just far enough away from the tourist areas, but only a short drive to shopping and the amusement parks. Our two sons loved the video games, entertainment room and hanging out in the pool. The selection of videos and the huge TV screen were awesome. When we come again to Florida, we will check ahead and definitely book this place for ourselves! (And tell our friends about it too!) Paul, Patricia, Michael & Daniel Toronto, ON, Canada
From my first conversation with Penney I knew We would not be disappointed.We arrived early and Penney opened her house to us.We opened the door and was amazed by the property.The house was everything and more.Beautifully decorated and so much to offer.Every square inch of the property was well maintained.Very clean,you could eat off the floors.Close to Disney,restaurants,and shopping.The pool area is where we spent most of our time.There was a lot to keep us entertained from the games room to the big selection of movies she has.I would definetly recommend this house to my friends and look forward to staying there again on our next visit.By far the best rental we have had in our many visits to Florida.Again Penney,Thank-you so much.Best Regards.The Walsh Family.
Our family has been going to Florida every year for vacation for the last 15 years. Disney's Funtastic Getaway home is our favorite. The property is clean and well maintained. The Game room is by far the best one we have ever seen. We all loved it. We had some friendly family competition on the racing machine and air hockey. Our daughter enjoyed the princess room and has requested that we go back to this villa! After being in the parks all day we ( my wife and I) were tired and could sit by the pool or in the hot tub while the kids finished off the rest of their energy in the pool or game room. Wonderful vacation home.
This home was everything we expected and more. Clean, spacious, and everything is new! The house is decorated so nice and the beds were very comfortable. The pool area is large and south-facing, so the sun is plentiful. The game room was a hit with the entire family. There are lots of toys that the younger children could play with and the adults enjoyed pinball and race car driving. Penny is so kind and helpful in making everything go smoothly. If you are looking for a relaxing, accommodating and comfortable place to stay, you've found it. We can't wait to return! Thank you Penny for everything!!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The home was very nice and only 10 min away from Magic Kingdom. It was nice being able to come back to the house after a long day at the park and get into the hot tub or take a swim in the pool. It was also very close to restaurants and grocery stores. The house was very clean and well maintained.
