Stays of less than 5 nights: Our rates are based upon a minimum of five nights. Stays of four nights are occasionally accepted during the slower seasons or when they fill open dates between longer stays or match-up with arrivals or departures of longer stays. In all cases, the minimum stay for which our home can be rented is four nights. No special discounts apply for stays of four nights.
Note: For short-notice reservations, payment of the full rental amount must be made no less than 5 days before arrival. This allows for the normal processing of charges and payments before access to the home is provided.
POOL HEAT from a gas heater is available at a rate of $8 per day during the summer months and $9 per day during the winter months. Please see our Rental Contract, our home website, or email us for more details about pool heat.
We have a "no animals" and "No Pets" policy at both of our vacation rental homes. We own pets ourselves, and understand the trauma of separation (more for them than for us…) Our homes are designated as a PET FREE and ANIMAL FREE HOMES to protect those guests who suffer allergies to animal hair and/or dander (and they have been guaranteed that the home is free of pet dander). Medical experts have advised us that if a PET or ANIMAL is brought into the home, subsequent guests can be affected and suffer from the presence of such dander. Following such a stay would require extensive cleaning of carpets, upholstery, and bedding to return it to a dander free condition.
That means that after a guest with either an animal or pet stayed with us, the home would have to be removed from the rental market for a three to four days for that cleaning. Our inventory of homes is too small and any possible back-to-back reservations would be lost causing significant loss to our business.
Early Check-ins: A DAY RATE is available for guests who need to arrive before the regular check-in time. This rate is for a fixed number of hours and expense. The DAY RATE is calculated at the rate of 50% of the undiscounted daily rate for the date of arrival. When requested and accepted, the check-in time changes from 4:00 pm to 8:00 am on the day of arrival. (For example: If the standard rate is $144 per night then the Day Rate is $72 plus tax.)
External video cameras monitor the home during periods when no guests are present to provide an added measure of security. Video cameras are also installed at the entry of the community and are monitored by local authorities.

Why Kids Love It
A beautiful Vacation Home in the section of Kissimmee Florida closest to the Walt Disney World parks! This home is so close to Disney that you can hit the parks when they open then as crowds begin to grow slip-out and be home in less than 5 minutes. Enjoy a dip in the pool or a homemade lunch then as the crowds thin out at Disney go back to the park for an evening of fun, parades, and fireworks! Disney permits guests to leave and return to the parks on the same day at no extra charge. Kissimmee is home to Disney and close to all of the theme parks. When you are ready to just relax the gameroom in this vacation home offers billiards, foosball, darts, or turbo air hockey. Equipment is on hand for the nearby tennis courts or basketball courts -- and there is a playground for the kids. Disney, Universal Studios, and Sea World and all of the attractions that Orlando and Kissimmee have to offer -- and you are on the front steps!

EARLY CHECK-INS
The regular Check-In time is 4 p.m. on the scheduled day of arrival. Gratis early check-ins are no longer permitted. Guests, who wish to arrive prior to the regular check in time, may contract for an eight (8) hour DAY RATE if there is no departing guest on that arrival date. The day rate is one-half of the undiscounted seasonal rate for that day. (For example: if the daily rate is $144 then the day rate would be $72). The guest may then arrive anytime after 8:00 am. This day rate may be placed anytime prior to confirmation of a departure, after that day early check-in is no longer available.
When you submit an inquiry, you will receive a quote which shows all of the mounts including taxes that you need to pay. A standard cleaning fee of $80 is included for each stay.
During the registration process to make a RESERVATION, the person making the booking will be asked to electronically sign our Rental Agreement and Contract. To preview it, please visit our home website at /Rental_Agreement.html .
Our security deposit is $250 and becomes due 7 days prior to arrival. If you use a regular credit card, the deposit is processed as an "authorization only". That means that there is no actual charge placed on your credit card, but rather your provider "pre-approves" a charge should it become necessary. This is the same procedure that hotels use almost world-wide when they ask you for your credit card at check-in for "incidentals". The main incidental they are referring to is the security deposit for the room you are renting. If you use a debit card or PayPal to place the security deposit, then a charge is placed on your card and after check-out a refund will be processed to return the funds to you. PayPal recently changed their policy on refunds. If you pay the Security Deposit using PayPal they will not refund the fee that they charge when we issue the refund for the security deposit. That fee is approximately $7.00. If you use a regular c

Casa Bonita
The 4 bedroom house of Casa Bonita was super beautiful, well maintained, and relaxing for our entire family. The swimming pool was heated perfectly and my grandsons had a blast swimming with their parents and grandparents. We stayed for 6 days in April of 2021, and are planning a return trip to stay in this amazing house.

Relaxing, Restful, and Convenient!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Casa Bonita. The owners have gone out of their way to equip this home with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The location is very convenient to everything one might want to do in Orlando. Thank you Bob and Claudia!

Great family vacation home for fraction of the cost compares to hotel stay.
We love this home because it was so close to all the Disney attractions, and everyone had their own room. The home was very neat and clean with heated pool that our two elder aunties love. The game room was a bonus for us to spend quality and fun times together. We will recommend this home to all our friends and families.

Excellent
Because of Covid-19 we did not venture far from the rented home but the game room and the pool provided entertainment for the four children that were visiting with us. We were able to drive to St. John county and took a drive on the beach and got out of the vehicle and searched for sea shells and splashed in the water. I would highly recommend this home and the surrounding area because if the circumstances had been different we would have gone to Disney.

Casa Bonita felt like home the moment we walked in.
I didn't take long for us feel right at home in the house. The exterior appeared to be well maintained and, inside, the house was warmly decorated, visibly comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed to set up shop for the month. The furniture in the main room was leather/vinyl and in great shape. The carpets appeared clean and well cared for. The king bed in the master bedroom was terrifically comfortable and our guests said the queens were comfortable as well. The pool was warm and inviting and cared for by a service each week. The pool deck received plenty of sun after lunch. There is nothing behind the house but a wooded area where we saw an eagle, hawks, and a pair of tortoises with a burrow just behind the house. The heating and cooling was great. The WIFI worked great and there was cable TV/DVD in each bedroom. The game room was nice although we didn't use it much. The location was good with access to stores and restaurants on US192. There was easy access to Toll Rd. 429 and I-4 although I-4 north was often bumper-to-bumper. The neighborhood was quiet and nice for walking. We would definitely rent this house again.

Thanks for staying with us! We hope you will return in the future!
Great rental for the price
The place was very clean and stocked with essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc... Most homes I rented you were responsible to purchase. Little issue with the pool heater, but the owner addressed immediately and credited me for the days it was down. The games in the game room need some TLC, but other than that I will definitely book again if available.

House as advertised in the perfect location for a Disney Vacation
Disney was 10 minutes away and with the traffic in that area this was a supper bonus. We way more than just Disney and still central location (many toll roads so take small bills and many quarters). House was exactly as per web pictures, functional kitchen, very large master with a fold out bed available, super big master en-suite, another bedroom with an en-suite. Plus 2 more bedrooms sharing a 3rd bathroom. Great house for a family to share. We nheated the pool that was larger than expected with a safety fence/alarms. Will be calling Bob for our next trip to Orlando/Disney area.

Excellent villa
Stayed at Casa Bonita for 17 nights. When we arrived the villa was spotlessly clean, a lovely surprise welcome pack and bottled water in the fridge aswell as toilet rolls. There are little touches across the villa which just make it so special. The garage has been fitted out with carpet and lots of entertainment aswell as fans which is perfect never had that before in a villa. The pool is wonderful such a lovely temperature and considering the sun doesn’t really get onto the pool until lunch time it didn’t matter because the pool was a lovely warm temperature. We had heated pools in previous villas and they’ve been rubbish. The owner was so nice and responsive to my questions and queries and sorting a few issues out nothing major& even came himself to fit new hairdryers for us in the bathrooms. Overall fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this villa and hopefully stay again

Casa Bonita
We recently spent 2 weeks at Casa Bonita in Kissimmee Florida. The location is great. Close to everything. Bob the owner is always available to answer questions during the booking time and during your stay When we arrived everything was as promised and shown online. Rooms were very spacious and clean. Plenty of linens and new.They had items if you are traveling with an infant. They had a car seat, stroller and play pen.Kitchen was fully equipped and they left a really nice welcome basket. They have a detailed binder which helped us to understand some of the logistics of the house. We really enjoyed the Keurig coffee maker that was there.We had a small issue while we were there but Bob jumped on it right away and had it fixed. As I mentioned above, he is always available if you need him. That is a huge plus.The TV's were all new and had great channels including Netflix. They have a computer that you can use while you are there as well. Great for business or checking your email. Games room was also great. We also used the laundry facilities with no issues. The BBQ is also included. Which is a nice bonus. Alot of places charge extra.The bungalow is actually very spacious. Close to all the parks and restaurants. I would definitely recommend Casa Bonita as your next family vacation rental.Wendy

You MUST Stay HERE!!!
This is the place to stay if you want to have the most relaxing time that you can have away from the hustle and bustle, but so close to Disney! Bob is very easy to work with. I love the attention to detail. Go to Disney in the morning and then drive home about 10 minutes with traffic and relax - Grilling Steaks by the pool. Then return to Disney in the evening when it has slowed down and cooler. This is the only way to do Disney in my opinion. Kids loved the game room and free Netfilx. All the kitchen utensils you will need are provided and you can pack light because you can do your laundry also. There is nothing about this place that we didnt like - WE WILL BE BACK!!! Thank you Bob and Claudia!

Great stay at mickey's villa
We enjoyed our stay at mickey's villa, everything was exactly as pictured. The pool was a hit for the kids as they played in it each day, and the jacuzzi was perfect for the adults after the long days at the parks. Bob and Claudia are great to work with as this is our 2nd time staying at one of their properties. They are quick to respond or attend to any needs. The house is only a short drive away to the parks, shopping, and eating and was spacious enough to fit 2 families 8 total comfortably

Very clean and comfortable. Everyone in group enjoyed having a private place to relax after enjoying the crowded theme parks. Pool table and game room were really nice to have to ourselves as well. Very easy to reserve the week and very affordable too! Highly recommend for convenience to shops, golf courses and Disney Parks.

This home had everything we needed and more. So much better than renting a hotel room and we were very comfortable.

It is was also very convenient to all the places we wanted to go.

Over the top
This home met all of my family's expectation. If anything was not absolutely perfect Bob was there to make it perfect. In casual conversation I mentioned that the game system wasn't working. When we got back from sea world that evening it was up and running! Just one example of how well and seamless the trip was. Very easy from the booking to payments. He even gave us tips that were extremely helpful! Definitely, 'over the top'!

We had the pleasure to stay in this house for our 2 week stay in Orlando. The house was of a first class standard and very comfortable to stay in. Easy to find and very close to the 192. The neighbourhood was very quite. We would definitely stay there again and this is the best recommendation i can give. Thank you.

We absolutely loved this house. It met all of our needs and was better than expected. It was so close to every place that we needed and the house itself was in a quiet area .

A wonderful stay at Casa Bonita!
We were so fortunate to have found this beautiful house in Kissimmee (just a few minutes from Disney), managed by Autumn Creek Management (Bob Hazzard), where we stayed during our family holiday at Disney and Legoland, March 4 - 10, 2018. Very well equipped, large house, plenty of room for 7 of us, with everything we needed (well, Bob couldn't change the weather, which was rather chilly!). House was spotless, good instructions and Bob responded very quickly if we had questions. We would absolutely rent this house again.

Wonderful, relaxing stay in an awesome home
Staying at Casa Bonita is the most relaxing vacation we've ever been on. We have stayed here twice already and are planning our 3rd visit for this summer. Bob is very responsive and the house provides everything we needed for our stay. The house provides many amenities, is very clean and everything functioned as it should. The kids enjoyed swimming in a private pool whenever they wanted and also just relaxing in their own rooms while watching tv. I can't think of anything missing or that can be improved with this house and we are counting down the days until we return.
