Vacation Rental Home near DisneyWorld parks

[VFOTS]

We are a family of six, but hope to have grandparents or other family/friends vacation with us. We are looking to rent a home that is clean, comfortable, and has accommodations for 8+ people. Prefer to have a pool and be within about a 20 minute drive to parks. Would like to be near grocery store(s). Can anyone suggest some reputable homes for vacation rentals???? We have just had too many friends pay for their rental home only to find out it was a fraud. We'd greatly appreciate the assistance. FYI, trip will probably be towards the end of 2017 and the ages of kids will be 8-13. Please recommend places that you have stayed in and enjoyed and would revisit. We have stayed onsite, offsite in a hotel, and even at Give Kids the World for a Make-A-Wish trip, but have never done a vacation rental and would like to do so this time. Thank you in advance for all of your help.

This is where we stayed. Beds for 8 people, crib/pack n play available. And someone could always sleep on a couch or air mattress. The house was exceptionally clean, owners very friendly, great neighborhood, beautiful 24' pool, very close to shopping/restaurants (though we just used Garden Grocers and had our stuff delivered), and in morning rush hour traffic parks were only 12-20 minutes away, very easy, straight forward drive. We did afternoon breaks no problem.

We also rent from VRBO. You can put in your search criteria. My kids loved having a home with a private pool.

Wonderful! Thank you for your input. Is this where you stayed in 2015? How long did you stay there? How many of you were there? Just trying to see if I'm comparing apples to apples, or not. Thanks a million.

Yes it is We stayed 11 nights, and there were 6 of us - 4 adults, two children.

No problem. Two bedrooms have queen sized beds, and the other two rooms have two twins in each. You could easily get an air mattress in one of the bedrooms, or living room.

Thanks for starting this thread! Interested, too. Always been wary of doing this.
