With more than 3,200 square feet of comfortable living space, your family will have plenty of room to relax here. You will be able to enjoy two king master bedroom suites, each boasting their own en suite bathrooms. There are also formal living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and a family room that includes a very large 65 inch flat screen TV.

Your vacation getaway is enhanced with a well-equipped games room and a private pool and spa, tucked away in a quiet area with no rear view neighbors to spoil your peace and quiet. The tranquility that Valhalla Shire provides is a major plus for any family vacation, but it is by no means the only thing we recommend about this wonderful home. In fact, the list is almost endless.

Valhalla Shire is one of just 115 homes in The Shire, a gated community which is impressive to look at and immaculately maintained. You get the feel of luxury just driving through the gates and the home itself is very welcoming too, offering a spacious feel as you enter through the front door.

The first thing you see is the sheer size of the home, with the second sitting area to your right, complete with a 50 inch TV, the dining area with seating for six next to that, and beyond that the kitchen and main living area, with the impressive pool in the distance.

The main living area has leather furniture, an impressive mahogany entertainment center housing a large 65 inch TV. It is an ideal place for the whole family to sit back and relax, or maybe watch the latest movies and shows.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, full refrigerator, stove, coffee machine, toaster, waste disposal, and a host of hand held appliances. All kitchen utensils and crockery are provided for you, as are all linens and towels.

The two king bedrooms are located on the second floor, but on the first floor is a queen room, a welcome bonus for those who have trouble navigating stairs. Right next to that queen room is a full bathroom.

On the second floor you will find the other four bedrooms and the two king rooms mentioned earlier, both very impressive with full en suite facilities. The very spacious master bathroom is particularly luxurious with a Roman tub, separate shower, and his-and-hers bathroom sinks. These master bedrooms also have access to the second floor balcony overlooking the pool, another unique feature of the homes in The Shire.

Another queen bedroom, which boasts a Star Wars theme, and a twin room featuring Mickey Mouse himself, make up the five bedrooms in the home. They provide something for all the family! Incidentally, all the bedrooms have wall mounted TVs with smart capabilities, and all the TVs in the home have the Disney+, too.

Valhalla Shire has a full size washer and dryer, located on the second floor, and a very nice games room in the garage, featuring another large TV, a small ping pong table, putting game, darts, and foosball. (Note: We do prefer that adults supervise here, especially if children are playing with the darts).

Of course, the main feature of most vacation homes is the swimming pool, and this home does not disappoint. The pool area itself is oversized which makes for plenty of room for family BBQs or nights relaxing with a glass of wine. The hot tub is a welcome addition and certain to be popular, as is the setting, which has a tranquil conservation view with no neighbors to the rear.

Valhalla Shire is a truly beautiful home with many things the vacationing family will love. The location, the proximity to shops and restaurants, the upgraded furnishings, the spacious floor plan, the entertainment provided, and the pool and spa – it is all here for you! It is a great place to relax after a day at the local attractions and has all the comforts of home, as well as those little luxuries that turn a good vacation home into a great one.

*Don't forget we offer a whole host of extra services including recommendations for attraction tickets, barbecues, baby equipment and much more to help you get the most from your Evergreen stay!

March break
Rooms were clean, and beds comfortable. Most dishes, pots, cutlery, etc. were on hand. Disappointed that there was no mention of Access card for community pool. Didn't get one till last day. There was no table outside to dine on in the pool area. No glass ware was to be taken to pool area, but no plastic cups, etc. was anywhere on site. Ad should also mention a Keurig is in kitchen. The pads on the lounge chairs were disgusting, and should be replaced.

Was good-could have been better!
House was clean but the interior door and trim throughout was thick in dust and dirt. To make this house better it needs painted throughout which includes doors and trim. Carpet needs to be gone. Sofa in family room is totally worn out. Stove and dishwasher could be replaced. We had a couple of issues and the management company had someone to the house within 2 hours. Neighborhood. All in all we enjoyed ourself!!

Nice but needs some work
House was located in a nice location, 30 minutes to Disney. House needs work carpet needs restretched at top of stairs and in one bedroom, ants were in a bathroom and in the laundry room, which they sent someone out for. No room for 3 vehicles to park. Finally after waiting all day for a response had to call the emergency number to find out where to park 3rd vehicle. House needs to be deep cleaned a lot of dust on baseboards and in corners, leather couch in main living room needs replaced sagging and poor condition. Pool heater was NOT turned on upon my arrival pool was ice cold. Got that turned on so all was good. Overall would stay again if the issues were taken care of. House just needs a little tic.

Needs Cleaning
The pool was the best part of this property, very relaxing and well kept. This was not the case with the rest of this home. As a person who enjoys a very clean and well kept home, the stay in this property was very stressful due to the obvious lack of care given to cleaning this property. The carpet was not vacuumed well at all - there was visible dirt and debris on the carpet throughout the house. The carpet had several stains on it throughout the house as well. The shower curtain liner in one of the upstairs bathrooms was filthy and in need of replacement. It was obvious the bathroom mats had not been washed prior to our arrival in any of the bathrooms. The washing machine was growing black mold in the silicone ring that seals the door shut and had an offensive odor. We found ants twice inside the microwave during our week long stay - even after they had sent pest control out the first time. There were tiny ants in the two small bathrooms upstairs throughout our stay. There is signage in the kitchen that pests are a natural hazard of staying in Florida - one of the ladies in our group has lived in Florida previously and never had issues with ants, so this seems to be an issue specific to this home. I would not recommend staying at this house and spent a majority of my stay regretting my decision to book this property.

Rude Owner to my wife
When we arrived check in was great. My daughter said the dryer is broke. My wife contacted Phil to let him know the dryer was broke. He started out by saying he didnt known the dryer was broke. Then he switched up and got mad because my wife had spoke with him numerous times and he never said the dryer was broke. His tone to my wife was rude and disrespectful. He know the dryer was broke because he said they ordered parts. She let him know he over charged us to heat the pool also. Phil got offended and told us to leave his property. I tried to speak with Phil to explain that his property is not up to part and he hung up on me and sent us a nasty message to get out his home. We drove 10 hours to be disrespected by this hateful host. He told us to get out immediately. Then he sent us a nasty message on vrbo, stating this his home for us to get out. The couch was broke, the dryer was broke, Phil stated you have 20 towels, he overcharged us to heat the pool, the gameroom was nasty. The sheets were worn and towels looked like rags. My family have never experienced a hostile host.

We arrived and found a note on the dryer stating it was out of order. I contacted the management company and was told they were waiting for a part. This was the last communication from the management company, I had to spend a morning in the middle of the week at the laundromat. I sent a message on Thursday morning because the pool water was not being heated, the management company never responded. Saturday morning the pool water was being heated again but we had to check-out.

Never book with this host
The host was very rude and not helpful and was very unprofessional. I would suggest booking with someone else. We did take pictures to make sure that we left it in the same condition and he is one of those host that make up charges . We were down in FL during the hurricane and asked for assistance days before and day before with no help. He was to concerned about his guest , only himself and he said over and over again he had over 40 places and couldn’t help everyone . He called me mental or that I had a mental condition over and over because I called him out on his lack of help. I have never been treated by anyone this way. He treated me like since I was a women I was less then him. He also said I was a professional travel that likes to just take advantage . Not true as I do not travel much and when I do I have never once had a stay like this. The host have been nothing but amazing. Until this stay. I also informed him of the door coming off the henge and with a hurricane you think you would come fix it. As he stated he only lives 10 mins away and never came to fix it. There was a broken toilet seat I reported also. side notes they have lots of ants so be careful if you do stay and cockroaches climbing in the kitchen area. But again the worst part is the treatment, I have every word saved that he said to me. And remember to take pictures before and after so he doesn’t make up stuff that you did that isn’t true. Glad I covered my bases!

Great house with everything you could ever want in a house
The property manager was really attentive, he contacted us to let us know the pool pump wasn't working, we hadn't even noticed and was fixed the following day, great service. The home is in a gated community which was spotless and very quiet, we hardly saw anybody, the house is large and has everything you could need, the kitchen had every electronic gadget known to mankind, there wasn't anything we needed. The Wifi was really fast, we are from the UK and like to watch USA TV in the evening to relax, main living area TV was massive with Cable, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. Pool was great, overall we cannot fault the house and we enjoyed our vacation in it.

Loved the house with heated pool. I know a house with 5 bedrooms is difficult to keep clean, but the sheets in 1 bedroom were nasty. Hair and dirt(looked like dog hair) on them. The blinds and tile floor could use a cleaning. Otherwise great house in great location. Shocked at amount of traffic around championsgate and rte 4.
