Description of the home we are offering for exchange
If you want a quiet rural setting with access to all your needs, this is the home for you! Only 5 minutes from major highways, shopping center, movie theaters and several grocery stores. Historic Winter Garden is 5 minutes way, featuring the Edgewater Hotel, Scoops Ice Cream and The Crooked Can brewery. There is a 20+ mile bike trail within in minutes, offering a nice riding area and some nice parks along the way.
The screened gazebo has a gas grill, electric smoker with outdoor seating and the most comfortable hammock ever! The living room has a LCD TV, fireplace and Wi-Fi throughout and a 1/2 bath. Instead of cable television, I have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, for your viewing pleasure (plus lots of other channels). The master bath has a walk-in shower and jacuzzi tub. The bedrooms upstairs have recently been painted (9/2017) and newly carpeted. They each have a queen size bed and share a bathroom.
Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World are within 30 minutes. A 2015 Subaru Forester included for exchange.
Set in the woods, with my family members as neighbors, it is a very quiet location, great for relaxing after a day at the parks, playing golf or the beach!
I have been a member of Homelink for several years, but just recently renewed my membership. I have done 4 exchanges and they have all been fabulous!
