About this property

Downtown Lake Eola Historic House 1 OR 2 BED

Please read the space description regarding the 2nd bedroom. It’s only included if you put in at least 3 guests as it’s extra. This is done to keep the cost down bc most people only need 1 bedroom.

This is a great place in the heart of downtown Orlando near a ton of restaurants, night life, the Dr. Philips center, Amway arena, Publix and Lake Eola.
There is a kitchenette with sink, refrigerator, microwave, dishes, glasses silverware etc. (no stove). Netflix, amazon prime and a digital antenna are provided. Unit is on 2nd floor.

Please note: the space may not be ideal for families with young children due to layout and design.

Owner lives in another unit on property so please be courteous.
The house is old so it has a few quirks but you can’t beat the location.
Please note the second bedroom is extra for the unit.
Parking is free for one car unless you book for over 2 guests.
There is a nice big front porch to people watch.

You will receive check in instructions on day of arrival.
Publix is across the street as well as tons of restaurants, cafes, shops and night life. This place is in the heart of downtown Orlando. It’s across from Lake Eola.
Restaurants: stubborn mule is one of my favorites, Rusteak & Osphere are also good.
For ambiance I like relax grill and world of beer (they’re on lake Eola).
Universal studios is about a 20-25 min drive and Disney is about a half hour.

The unit was as described in the listing. It was perfect for overnight stay downtown within walking distance of Dr. Philips Center. Beds were very comfortable and coffee was provided for our morning wake up. Our host was easy to get ahold of when I had issues with the shower. That was the only downside. Hot water took a long time to kick in and just know that it’s the shower not sink that is reversed with the hot and cold but once you find the sweet spot for the hot water, it was fine. A huge positive is parking on the premises. The host provided specific instructions for entering and exiting the unit. This historic home had wonderful vibes and was very clean. I would stay again.

This was a great option for my friend and I who were traveling. It had two separate bedrooms, a decent kitchen, and a nice seating area. It’s pretty much in downtown, we walked very easily to the Orlando magic stadium and there’s plenty of restaurants within walking distance around the home. would definitely stay here again, and I really appreciated the communication from the property management company.

Great little 2-story house smack downtown & walking distance to Dr. Phillips Center. It’s old, though, so there are a few eccentricities… Parking was a breeze.

Perfect Location

Very easy to find, historical home in a quiet neighborhood tucked between the ever growing city. A coffee shop around the corner, and right down the street is Lake Eola for a morning or evening stroll. A Publix grocery store just steps away. The home is very secure, with off street parking, comfortable bed, couch and air conditioning. Everything about our stay was just right. beautiful Lake Eola

Overall average stay

Property as described. I own my own property that I rent and ensure the whole property is open to whoever rents it. I didnt like how i would have to pay more for a bedroom that is locked. Ended up sleeping on the couch. Internet fidnt work but faulty equipment. Shower didn't work. Trash was found in the cusions of the couch. Perfect location for downtown. Owner is responsive.

Terrible experience

The host is completely unreliable. I paid full for the property over one month beforethe stay. Asked several times for the check in info in advance and never provided it just saying that it was going to be provided at the time of check in. Check in was at 3pm. At 3:15 pm sent me a message saying that he booked the apartment using another platform and the apartment was already occupied!!!! He left me and my family homeless at the last minute and we came from another city!!!! HE SHOULD BE BANNED FROM USING VRBO! Is obvious he doesnt know what he is doing.

Great location

Only a block away from the best food and nightlife in Orlando. Very clean and safe. Coded locks on every door felt very secure. Make sure you contact the owner before hand if you need two bedrooms. I was confused by the listing but maybe I’m just dumb. Over all really nice for the price

Excellent Place and Location!

Very clean, interesting apartment in an amazing downtown location. My mom, my wife, and I were very impressed. Lake Eola and a Publix are a short block away. Very good restaurants and cafes are just a few feet further. You could just stay here and walk to all of these places and have a great time!
