After location, one of the most commonly prized amenities is the pool, and Mickey’s Family Bungalow has a great one! This private pool deck offers plenty of room to relax around this southern facing pool with attached spa. No walking out of the house and falling into the pool here! A southern facing pool is desirable for the most sunshine on the pool throughout the day, but if it gets too hot, sip on a drink in the covered lanai. Feeling hungry? Throw some burgers on the FREE BBQ grill! The screen enclosure covering the pool deck keeps out the bugs and lizards, while the hedges offer privacy from the neighbors. If you have little ones, the pool alarms on all doors and the removable toddler fence provide a safer and more relaxing experience for all. If you are visiting in the cooler months, don’t worry, pool and spa heat are available for an additional charge.
The inside of Mickey’s Family Bungalow is even more spectacular than the outside! Upon entering the villa, the luxury and quality will be immediately apparent.
