Our house

Sunshine Palms is designed on one floor with 2000 square feet boasting high vaulted ceilings and bright spacious rooms: four excellently equipped bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (two en-suites), a south facing private pool and spa, complete with upgraded pool furniture and umbrellas gives you maximum sunshine to relax, chill and enjoy.

Arrive at our home with on-site key collection thus avoiding the need to search for an off-site management office. Enter the home, carpeted throughout for comfort and quietness, into our ‘Quiet Lounge’ with two very comfortable settees. Here there are books to quietly read adding to your enjoyment throughout your stay.

Then there is the Formal Dining area comfortably seating four. Although the PC (with free high speed internet) is located here, we’ve kept the Quiet Lounge at the front of the home free from noisy TVs/HiFis.

Walking through the house you reach the well equipped Kitchen at the heart of the home. All designed to make your vacation easier. There’s everything you’d expect: from a microwave to a dishwasher, a blender to a waste disposal, an ice-maker to an electric kettle and teapot, ample china and so you don’t have to keep returning to the dishwasher, including plastic glasses and tumblers for use outside by the pool. ....Imagine breakfasting on the pool deck in the warm morning sunshine at the start of the day...

The Kitchen has a breakfast bar with seating for two – kids love using these. The area opens out into the informal dining area. The table can easily seat 6 adults, but with chairs from the formal dining room and/or breakfast bar, up to 10 (plus a baby) can eat together in this area - great for those special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. A high chair is provided for very important younger guest too (a second can be hired if necessary).

Leading from the eating area is the comfortable Family Room with ample space and seating. Situated here is the 32” cable TV /video/DVD/ Stereo System/Playstation 2/board games/playing cards etc.

And remember the telephone to make those free long distant or international calls - quicker than sending a postcard!

Great ways to spend some time playing a friendly set or two, or working off those excess pounds in the gym room! And all free to our guests.

If these games sound too energetic, why not sit back on our south facing pool deck and enjoy the view of the garden or watch your children playing in the pool? If you bring your own laptop you may be able to ‘surf’ using our wireless network by the pool! Our south facing pool and spa (which can be heated and has a pool cover to keep it warm in the cooler months) is filtered and kept clean by professionals. The pool furniture is plentiful and has been upgraded to give comfort and enjoyment: padded sun beds, chairs, stools, two umbrellas, towel drier … A safety screen in front of the pool/spa is provided for your use to protect babies, children and non-swimmers (safety screen alternative to pool alarms opened). The safety screen may be taken down at your discretion, if not required. The home security system also lets you know when an external door has been opened… useful if you’ve young guests in the house.

Guest Comments:

….we had a wonderful vacation with our family in Florida, just getting back earlier this week. We certainly enjoyed your house, it was perfect for our extended clan and was ideally located near to Disney World, which is what we wanted. We were fortunate to have two little troupers aged 3 and 5 who walked everywhere and spent long days (7 days and 1 evening) at Disney World, without a complaint and never asking for a thing.

. … ….We were more than pleased with how well the house worked out for us and will certainly recommend it to anyone visiting Orlando. Our only regret is that the two weeks passed so quickly and we were on the go every day, without taking any time out to really relax.

….We had good weather the whole time, warm but not hot, and even had the good fortune to see the space shuttle take off. Your front yard was an ideal viewing spot for this event.
