This cozy, home-away-from-home nestled within one of Orlando’s historic neighborhoods in quaint College Park offers guests the best of both worlds: A quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life while being situated in close proximity to urban amenities. You would never know you are only minutes away from Downtown Orlando, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, and more. In fact, you are also in walking and/or biking distance to award-winning restaurants and eateries, boutique shops, water activities and world-class art and cultural venues (Loch Haven Cultural Park). Golfers will delight in the cottage being located across the street from Orlando’s historic public golf course. And, being located less than a mile from downtown Orlando’s AdventHealth and less than 5 miles from Orlando Health healthcare systems makes it the perfect location for healthcare workers who need temporary housing, and for those who want to be near a loved one staying at one of the hospitals. Centrally located, the cottage is less than two blocks from Interstate-4 access and minutes from SR 408, providing quick access to our world-class arts, culture and sporting venues, attractions and beaches. (Disney is less than a 30-minute drive and Universal a 20-minute drive. Our closest Atlantic beaches are only 60 minutes away and our closest Gulf Coast beaches 90 minutes!)

The standalone cottage is situated on the property of a private residence that has separate gate access plus a beautiful, old-Florida outdoor setting to enjoy. The host is onsite and is happy to help guests with local knowledge etc.

(No parties or events allowed. City of Orlando neighborhood noise ordinance in effect nightly beginning 10 p.m.)

Would stay here again
Property is nestled behind a nicely built little house in a back yard. The location is near I-4 as well as Orlando proper and Winter Park. It was very comfortable with everything provided that one would need for cooking, as well as a nice outside covered porch. Quiet and relaxing. Also adjacent to a public golf course.

Perfect!
I was looking for a place to do an online silent retreat, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The place was clean, quiet, had great WiFi and everything else I needed, and is located in a great walking neighborhood. It’s also very close to stores if you need any last minute items you may have forgotten. Thank you Connie for making sure I had such a great stay!

My husband and I stayed at Connies’s cottage for 3 nights while visiting family. The cottage is beautifully furnished, very clean and is located in a quiet neighborhood. Great location - convenient to Winter Park, UCF and Disney. Connie was a great host and very responsive. Would def book again!

Good stay
Overall a good stay that’s central to visiting Winter Park or downtown Orlando. The WiFi didn’t work my first week and cell service was spotty so my personal hotspot didn’t work as a backup. After the WiFi extender was added during my second week, there were unfortunately a couple of times where the internet would slow down so I couldn’t video conference or use the Roku. More cups/plateware/utensils would be a nice addition to avoid having to wash dishes or run the dishwasher so often. You will need to bring your own soap, toilet paper/paper towels for longer stays — no hand soap + one roll of toilet/paper towel. While I can’t recommend it for long stays or a business traveler/working remotely (only 2G is available in the unit), I think it would be a nice landing place for short vacations.

Magical place tucked away!
This was a perfect place for us. We were visiting my parents in Orlando and the location was perfect! It's also tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on a golf course - which made for some awesome morning and evening strolls. We loved it here - clean, cozy with enough room, super friendly and organized host! We'd stay here again for sure!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. The owner Connie was a good morning walking partner for me and gave us a few ideas of what to do and where to go. The place is modern, clean and perfect for 2. It’s a hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood yet not far from great places to eat or shop! If I was to return to Orlando I would definite stay again!

Perfect cottage
Everything was excellent. We had our own little private cottage that has everything we needed. Having our own kitchen and dining table was super convenient. Very clean and almost brand new. Owner Connie was a great host making check in and our entire stay super easy. Great communication. Loved having the yard available to sit and relax on the patio. Highly recommend.

College Park Gem
Connie was SUCH an amazing host; friendly, communicative, and just lots of fun to talk with! My husband and I stayed at her beautiful casita over Christmas, and couldn't have enjoyed it more. It was ample space for the two of us, immaculately clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and peaceful stay. It is perfectly located in College Park, and we loved getting to walk around the beautiful neighborhood. Needless to say, we are already planning our return trip next year!

Perfect Stay!
Lovely cottage, great hospitality from the host! This was my first time traveling since the pandemic to see my family, but because I am extra cautious and didn't want to risk exposing them, I needed a place to stay nearby. This cottage was perfect! Beautifully appointed, cozy, situated in a nice yard, great location, easy access and Connie was warm and super welcoming. I love the spa colors, new appliances and sunny windows- great place to work remotely and relax. If you need a place to stay in Orlando, I highly recommend this cottage!

Great (long) snowbird visit!
Connie was very friendly, helpful and responsive when we had questions. The location couldn’t be better, in a safe, quiet neighborhood close to everything wonderful about my hometown! The space is great for one or two people - the covered patio out front was especially nice and grilling was a bonus!! We had a very enjoyable stay as snowbirds!
