Information on what is typically provided / not provided.
Is there anything that is not provided?
There's a few things you'll want to either pack or pick up locally upon your arrival.
We provide only a "starter" quantity of hand soap and toilet tissue. Personal items like toothpaste, shampoo, etc. are not provided, for hygiene reasons. Also, smaller consumable items like dishwashing soap, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, trash bags, etc. are also not provided. We also do not provide items like coffee, tea, or any type of consumables or food, as people's taste vary from person-person. The cleaning company removes any such items left behind as each guest leaves the units (this is the common practice in Florida). When we first booked a townhome we wondered why certain items such as these were not left behind then we learned that this is the common practice, so want our guests to know what to expect to provide themselves up front.
What is provided in the home?
Our home is fully furnished and equipped for your vacation enjoyment. There are two sets of sheets for each bedroom and two sets of towels for each bath. Pillows, blankets and other necessities are provided. Both master suites are also equipped with a hairdryer and alarm clock/radios. We do also provide 8 pool towels, these need to be returned to the unit if you take them to the clubhouse pool. All Kitchen utensils are provided including plates, cups, bowls, glasses, silverware, toaster, blender, teapot, coffee maker, and pots and pans. There is a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and a stove/oven. For your laundry/cleaning needs a washer and dryer are provided along with an ironing board and iron. The house is equipped with small hotel soaps and 1 roll of toilet tissue in each bath. If you are staying more than a couple of days, you will want to purchase additional supplies.
Where can I pick up any extra sundry items I need?
Our home is located just minutes from US 192 where numerous supermarkets and superstores are found. There is a Publix supermarket located 2 miles West of Old Lake Wilson Road on highway 192, an upscale Goodings market at Water Tower Place in Celebration, just about 5 minutes East on 192, and a Winn-Dixie at Formosa Gardens Plaza, just West of Old Lake Wilson Road on highway 192. There are also 3 Wal-Marts and a Super Target within a short driving distance, well as numerous convenience stores located on US 192. Also nearby are stores such as Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, Target, and many others, so obtaining nearly anything you should need while vacationing should be quite easy, and a whole lot less expensive than staying on the Disney properties and eating out all the time with no kitchen!
