Lake View Condo Near Disney · Heated Pool · Sleeps 8

YOUR LAKE-VIEW HOME BASE FOR THE MAGIC OF ORLANDO If you're planning an Orlando family trip — Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, or all three — and you want a real home to come back to at the end of every park day, this lake-view condo at 13427 Blue Heron Beach Drive is built for exactly that. We're tucked into Lake Buena Vista, the residential pocket that hugs the western edge of Walt Disney World, on the shore of beautiful Lake Bryan. From the balcony you'll watch the Florida sun melt into the water; from the lobby you're a short, easy drive to every gate. Past guests have called this place "perfect," "spacious," and "beautiful," and they've rated the location 9.7/10. Most importantly, they've come back — multiple repeat stays from families who tried it once and made it their tradition. SPACIOUS LAYOUT FOR UP TO 8 GUESTS The condo is a true two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment — not a hotel room with a kitchenette. You get a separate living room, two private bedrooms behind real doors, two full bathrooms, and a real kitchen. The total sleeping configuration accommodates up to 8 guests: Bedroom 1 has 1 king bed — the parents' retreat after a long park day. Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds and 2 bunk beds — designed for kids and cousins, with the bunks a perennial favorite. Living room has 1 queen sofa bed — sleeps two, perfect for teens, an extra cousin, or grandparents joining for the weekend. The two bathrooms (each stocked with a hairdryer) mean nobody fights for the shower at 7 AM when you're trying to make rope-drop. Central air conditioning keeps the whole apartment cool in Florida summers, and the flat-screen TV anchors the living room for movie nights and Disney+ marathons. A KITCHEN THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF If you've stayed near the parks before, you know food is the silent budget killer. This condo's fully equipped kitchen lets you flip the script. You'll find a full-size refrigerator and freezer, stovetop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, tea & coffee maker, plates, glasses, mugs, cookware, utensils, counter space for prep, and a kitchenette area for casual meals. A 10-minute drive puts you in front of a Publix and Walmart Supercenter — load up on breakfast supplies, snacks for the parks, and a couple of easy dinners and your trip suddenly costs a few hundred dollars less. Coffee on the balcony before park-open is one of the quiet pleasures of staying here. THE BALCONY, THE LAKE, THE SUNSETS Real talk: the lake view is the reason to book this condo over the dozens of identical-looking units in the area. Lake Bryan is a clean, scenic Florida lake, and from your private balcony you'll watch herons and egrets in the morning and a wash of pink and orange across the water at golden hour. This isn't a parking-lot view or a "lake view" that turns out to be a retention pond — it's the real thing. Bring your camera. RESORT AMENITIES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE The condo sits inside a managed building with serious amenities. There's a heated outdoor swimming pool, kept open every day until 11:00 PM — a guest favorite, especially after a hot park day. A hot tub / Jacuzzi is on-site for parents who need to soak after Animal Kingdom. The elevator in Tower 2 is important when you've got luggage, strollers, and a tired three-year-old. Free private on-site parking is essential for park-going families and a real money-saver vs. on-property hotels that charge $30+/night for parking. And there's 24/7 on-site reception — a real human at a real desk any hour of the day or night, whether you're arriving on a red-eye or have a question at 2 AM. WIFI, WORK-FROM-ANYWHERE, AND LONGER STAYS Free WiFi is available throughout the property. There's a work desk in the unit if you need to put in a couple of hours between park visits — increasingly common for families combining vacation with remote work. We accept stays of 30+ nights up to a maximum of 90 nights, so this condo doubles nicely as a snowbird base, a remote-work month in Florida, or an extended family vacation. Message us before booking long if you'd like custom monthly pricing. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Drive times from the condo: Disney Springs is 4.4 km / 2.7 mi (~ 8 minutes) — free parking, free entry, restaurants for every craving, the LEGO store, the Coca-Cola rooftop bar, World of Disney; a great no-park-ticket evening.

WHO THIS CONDO IS BUILT FOR Families with kids — bunk beds, sofa bed, real kitchen, pool, free parking, kid-friendly distance to the parks; we see a lot of repeat family bookings for spring break, summer break, and Christmas-holiday-week stays.

Weekly stays and longer vacations get the most out of the kitchen, laundry, and pool. Snowbirds and remote-work months: desk, fast WiFi, full kitchen, 30-90-night stays accepted.
