We rented a top floor 3/2 condo unit in the back of the complex from Magical Vacation Homes. The unit was spotless and very comfortable. Our interactions with Magical Vacation Homes were excellent and I would do business with them again.
No time for a long review, but after staying in many different vacation homes in the past, I would not book at WH again. We picked WH for a quick trip with our two youngest children.
We are country people and we felt claustrophobic during our stay at WH. I never imagined the complex was so large! This is like a small city! The noise bothered us of people coming and going. If you are a city person you might never notice.
We booked a fireworks view. Ok we could see them, but they were tiny spots of light way off in the distance. It was laughable really. My fantasy of enjoying fireworks on the balcony with dh was burst. My small children are terrified of the noise so I thought this would be the perfect compromise. Instead we ended up at the park and put noise cancelling ear muffs on the preschooler. There was nothing to look at but the parking lot and busy road alongside the complex.
The kitchen was fine for snacks and using the microwave. Too small for much else. If you are used to a small home or an apartment it will be great.
The pool was nice, but you have to get into the car to drive to it unless you are in a very close building. We really missed having our own private pool outside our back door and a patio BBQ on.
We saved only a few hundred dollars over the cost of a home and feel that we gave up too much of what we were accustomed to. It is super hot and in the past we always relaxed by the pool during the day and went to the park in the late afternoon. With a condo the only thing to do was to watch television. A townhome would have been better since we would have had a splash pool.
Overall this was the wrong place for us, but I am sure it is wonderful for many others. It is a clean complex and feels very safe.
Distance to the park was not the convenience we thought it would be. We would be willing to drive a few more minutes to have the amenities of a home in our price range.
