Cute Guest House In Winter Park Minutes From Downtown in Car
Enjoy our guest house and the new space we created in Oct 2015! The guest house has a kitchenette with two glass burners, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, convection microwave, AC wall unit, TV w/ HD antenna for over a dozen local channels (we've cut the cord, but the TV is a smart TV with Netflicks, HBO Go, Amazon Prime Video), wifi (50Mbps), utensils, plates / mugs. The guest house has a queen size CASPER bed (check it out online), great for couples or single travelers. Max we can take are 2 guests in this studio to fit comfortably.
You will have a separate private entrance to the guest house on the site of the main home. The guest house sits in our back yard of the main home. You'll also have free parking in front of the main home during your stay.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Winter Park has a variety of things to see and do, we love the neighborhood because of that. Tons of incredible eateries, also great shopping, and the famous park avenue is just a short DRIVE AWAY. Also you can easily jump on I-4 to take you all around the city and hit the world famous attractions, Outlet malls or I-Drive area.
HOUSE RULES are:
- No smoking inside the guest home, outside only
- Only registered renters are allowed in the studio, please no overnight guests.
- Parking is free, please park on our side of the street, not across the street.
- Lock the front door when leaving, simply press the Schlage Button and remember to turn off the AC wall unit.
- Please wash dishes before checkout.
- Renters will need to have a fully verified profile to book this guest house through the homeaway's verification system.
- The studio is on a septic tank, please only flush down toilet paper down the toilet. No Femine products, wipes, paper towels or condoms in the toilet. These items block the septic system and if you back up the system you will forfeit your security deposit.
- If you see any issues during your stay please bring it to our attention right away so we can address it during your stay and handle accordingly.
- No question is a silly question please always feel free to ask anything :)

About the host
Hosted by Muriel Yataco
My husband and I co-host. I am from Colombia and moved to Orlando in 2011. My background is in fashion design but I'm going back to school for ESL. I'm a total extrovert of the relationship and love to entertain. Javier and I both enjoy to travel and like to experience trips through a locals perspective and meet fun people. We've met several in our travels already. We are simple folks and balance each other out. I'm the voice of reason and he's the dreamer, ha!
Javier is from Lima, Peru but raised in Miami, FL. He grew up in South Florida and in 2006 made the move north and now calls Orlando, FL home. His job is in the travel industry, cruise to be exact. He's been been doing it since after college and he loves what he does.
We've been to: Italy, France, Germany all around the Caribbean, parts of Canada, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Australia and all around USA. On our bucket list is Tahiti, Spain, Brazil, discover more of Europe, Japan and the moon!!
We began hosting guests in Oct 2012 on a different platform and it's been a blast! We look forward to hosting guests from different parts of the world. We would share with you tips for shopping, dining and of course the parks. We strive to have your stay with us as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Also while you're here we would hope you can see the "local side" of what Orlando has to offer. You just might be surprised!
We've hosted guests from: Poland, Argentina, US, Belgium, UK, Guyana, Malaysia, Germany, Spain, Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina, China, Japan, Delhi, Scotland, Ecuador, Australia, Bolivia, Korea, Japan, Tahiti, Estonia, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, India, Finland, Colombia, Peru, France, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Israel, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Slovenia and South Africa. Where will our next guests be from?
Life motto for us, we are big believers in karma so in our daily lives we try to put out as much positive energy as possible because, "what goes around, comes around!"

Why they chose this property
This guest house is in a great area for easy access to all the best things in winter park. As long as you have a car you'll easily move around through the city and reach the world class theme parks such as Disney, Universal Studios, Seaworld and etc. This will be a perfect base for you to move around winter park.
What makes this property unique
We found our 2nd home last year and we immediately fell in love with the guest house. We knew this would be a perfect setup for our future guests. There's a private entrance and exit, it's completely independent from the main home, it's cute and compact space and finally the location. You're walking distance from Lake Killarney and a short drive away from Park Avenue in Winter Park. We know this space will be hit with our guests.
