Need Help Renting a House

[Epscot]

My family (6 adults, 1 DS age 3) is going for our annual long weekend trip to WDW in late September. Based on another post I saw on these boards, I'm looking into renting a house instead of reserving hotel rooms. Does anyone have any experience with this? We will need a 4 BR house for 5 nights.

Can anyone recommend the best/closest community or conversely, a community that we should avoid because of location/condition of houses, etc.?

Several respondents on the thread I read listed some websites, but most said that they had never personally rented a house. I am interested in any good leads (websites, etc) but am particularly looking for actual experiences and/or advice from people that have already been down this road, so to speak.

Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

I have been in 3 rented homes in the WDW area. I rented 2 homes from the same agency- www.elitevacationhomes.com. All the homes were great with 3-4 bedrooms, private pools and all the space and convenience. We have stayed in Eagle Point and Rolling Hills. Rollings hills is a little closer to Disney (we could see fireworks from the window), but Eagle Point was still only 10-15 minutes away. When you rent from the agencies you don't know the exact location of the house until you check in but you can request a particular area (hopefully you'll get it).
There are many great home rental agencies in the area. And also private home owner rentals. I happened to deal with elite cause their prices were reasonable and they also give a AAA discount. Never had any problems and will probably rent again in the near future. You can email me with any questions.

We've rented from her twice and found her good to deal with. I know at least one of her 4 bedroom houses has a slide in the pool. She also includes all taxes in her rate.

We rented a four-bedroom, three-bath executive pool home in the Lindfields subdivision from Premier Homes and were satisfied with the accomodations and the location of the home. Lindfields is off of 192 west of Disney.

With seven of us (including three kids under age 8), we enjoyed the privacy and extra space to spread out. Even my mother (who can easily find fault with her surroundings) was impressed with the accomodations.

I'll be happy to answer any specific questions that you may have.
