------ANSWERS TO SOME COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS------

Will I get the whole property to myself or do I have to share it?
During your stay, the entire Sweet Escape will be entirely yours! You'll have full unrestricted private access to 11 bedrooms, 5 acres, 2 buildings with 2 huge kitchens, 3 living rooms, the "desserted" dining room, porches, decks, the ice cream pool, grill, splash park, slide, sports courts, mini golf course, playgrounds, the discotheque, indoor & outdoor movie theaters, game rooms, and more...

What makes The Sweet Escape different from other vacation rentals?
The Sweet Escape is a celebrity-level mansion on 5 private gated acres with incredible amenities that will keep your entire group entertained for days and days regardless of their age or activity preferences. Everything else for rent in the Orlando area are just ordinary houses. Other than Sweet Escape (and our sister properties, The Great Escape Lakeside & The Ever After Estate), Orlando area rentals are all just 2-3,000 square foot "cookie cutter" homes in overbuilt subdivisions with traffic, noise issues, and lots of rules. They are often so close to the neighbors that you can reach out your window and shake hands with them while they are still inside of their houses! The pools in those ordinary vacation homes are tiny. Their level of service is close to non-existent. No one even meets you on site when you check-in! With the exception of 2 or 3 rooms (at most), the decor at any other home is extraordinarily basic. ANY OTHER ORLANDO AREA VACATION HOME IS *JUST* a place to sleep and then forget about. In contrast, Sweet Escape IS a vacation resort/experience itself. It is a place you will never want to leave. It is an estate you will be trying in vain to describe to your friends & family back home. It is a vacation experience that you will want to return to year after year and that everyone in your group will be talking about for months and years to come. At Sweet Escape, you will sleep in comfort, swim in our enormous themed pool, soak in our splash park, slide down sugar rush mountain, play mini golf, volleyball, tetherball, laser tag, pinball, arcade games...lounge in hammocks under palm trees, sing and dance in our 1200+ square foot karaoke night club, enjoy outdoor AND indoor movies...and so much more... Perhaps most importantly, you'll be alone in our 5 acres of natural privacy with plenty of porches and decks to enjoy the silence...Of course, Sweet Escape also has all the amenities of a modern luxury home including granite counter tops, gorgeous woodwork & cabinetry, luxury flooring, etc; Put simply: Other vacation rentals are just run-of-the-mill "nice" homes.. Sweet Escape is a multi-million dollar themed estate property. Click here to read a news article about The Sweet Escape or Click HERE to read TripAdvisor Reviews Of Sweet Escape.

Our group is comprised only of adults-- Isn't Sweet Escape only for children?
NOT AT ALL! A good number of our regular clients are professional business groups, corporations, church leadership, etc; Of course, children absolutely LOVE The Sweet Escape and never want to leave (In fact, parents often remark that they "wasted" money on Orlando theme park tickets because their children only wanted to play at Sweet Escape and NOT at Disney/Universal/SeaWorld!) BUT adults find the quiet, relaxing environment perfect for them as well. We are set on 5 beautiful and natural acres with plenty to do for the young, the young-at-heart, and even the admittedly not-so-young. Sweet Escape is the perfect blend of youthful whimsicality and mature luxury. Remember, there's a casino games table...a Hershey massage room with indoor sauna...elegant kitchen...and so much more for adults.

Are the video game machines free of charge?
Absolutely! No quarters or dollar bills are needed. Just press to the "START" button and play any one of dozens of hit games. The only exceptions would be our CANDY CRANE (players control a crane that drops, picks up, and delivers a handful of candy through a chute) and our GUMBALL PINBALL machines; These require quarters and give out candy prizes almost every time.

Does the rental include linens, kitchenware, etc;?
Yes: EVERYTHING you need to enjoy The Sweet Escape as a home...is absolutely included! We have plenty of kitchenware, state-of-the-art appliances, an enormous inventory of towels, linens, etc; When it comes to replaceable items such as toilet paper, we provide one roll per bathroom and when guests run out, they generally re-stock for themselves. If there is anything you need to make your stay more enjoyable---and it is something you're concerned we might not have---let us know and we'll definitely work something out!

Can someone who has limited mobility access bedrooms at The Sweet Escape?
Yes! EIGHT of our ten bedrooms are at ground level. There are two concrete steps outside to the "Lemonade Front Porch." Anyone who can make it up those two steps will actually have access to EIGHT of our ten bedrooms!

How much does it cost and what are your payment terms?
The Sweet Escape varies from $995 to just over $1895 per night. We do not charge per person. Your group can have up to 52 people and we won't charge you a penny more! Throughout most of the year, it's $1195 per weeknight and $1345 per weekend night. If you bring 40-50 people to The Sweet Escape, it usually works out to be only about $100 per person for a weekend! From Memorial Day weekend through mid-August, the rate is $1495 per weeknight and $1645 per weekend night. The higher $1895 rate occurs during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year's and the mid-season $1295 base rate takes place during certain Spring Break weeks from mid February through late April. During all seasons, there is a one-time departure cleaning fee of $888. Taxes are 11%. An amenities fee of $388 is included in each reservation covering periodically replaced items such as linens, sporting equipment, pool toys, etc; A refundable security deposit of $1500 is required (a simple temporary hold on a cc card--similar to when you rent a car or check into a hotel). At the time of booking, we take a 30% deposit. The balance isn't due until 60 days before your scheduled check-in.

What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel up to 120 days prior to your scheduled arrival and pay only a $285 cancellation fee plus any credit card fees assessed. If you cancel with less than 120 days to go, your deposit will be forfeited along with any other monies paid. This policy overrides any shown on Homeaway/VRBO.

If there are only 11 bedrooms, how do you sleep up to 52 people?
Simple! The eleven bedrooms have King, Queen, and Bunk Beds for 24 people (hover your mouse over "PHOTOS" and select any room to see its bedding). We also have 14 twin rollaways and 3 Queen-sized sleeper sofas. Together, they add room for an additional 22 people to sleep. To jump from 46 to 52 sleepers, our clients often make use of the 4 luxury theater seats which recline fully like beds and include blankets & pillows. (Young adults & teens, in particular, love to fall asleep in the theater after watching movies and playing video games on the giant screen until the wee hours!).

Like a theme park in a vacation house!
We were looking for a rental house “staycation” to take our nine year old son, where he could have the fun of a theme park. And it wasn’t easy to find. So I was so grateful that I found the Sweet Escape. It has so many amazing things: miniature golf, arcade games, video games, huge disco room, karaoke, virtual reality, small laser tag room, Theater, disc golf, pool with slide, volleyball, playground, human Candyland and of course all the really cool desert themed rooms. So we never ran out of things to do. And Andrew was very helpful and accommodating. There are two separate houses: the main house and the guest house. Both have kitchens (which is really helpful for a bigger group than we were). The property is huge too: I’m guessing 5 acres.

Enjoyed our stay
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Escape. Plenty to do for all the family grown up and kids. The Pinball machine needs to be repaired with a few pieces having fallen loose under the glass which results in the ball getting stuck. Also, I had trouble finding a comfortable bed, but my back can be a bit picky. The managers of the property are very kind and attentive. They acted quickly to get anything fixed or addressed that came up. Definitely would recommend as a nice get away for a family or large group.

The Sweet Escape
Overall, we could not have asked for a greater spot to have a family vacation. The ice-cream shaped pool was definitely the crowning jewel and a place all of the family made the most memories. The one down spot we found was the sleeping arrangements. The homes are listed to sleep around 50 people if need be. We had 40, including three babies. We had to buy a pack-and-play and leave it there as there were only two furnished. Also, the main beds were comfortable but the roll-away beds and the couch pull out beds are in terrible condition...the springs missing or sticking out, the mattresses very uncomfortable. I would give this place a triple A rating if they only put a little more attention to all of the beds they advertise as in good condition. They were very easy to work with when a problem arose and tried to work it out quickly. One more bathroom in the main house for as many people as we had would have been perfect....all in all, we were very happy with our stay. The grandchildren loved it!

Cute idea. Lots of outdoor space and bedrooms.
The idea is cute but I feel like being sweet Escapes with a candy theme there should be more working candy machines instead of all just decor. The water said harmless but tasted like chlorine so should probably let people know to bring bottle water. Property was clean with lots of bedrooms. Overall a fun time had by all...

Cute, fun home for large groups
The communication and the response helpfulness and speediness were wonderful - couldn't ask for better. Property has all the things described. For us I would just say that the hardest thing to overcome was that the property didn't meet expectations (which may have been our fault) for the price. I was expecting a luxury property - like a nice hotel but with a cool, fun factor. We have a large family so we always stay at homes versus hotels often and have consistently good experiences. But this property - while lots of stuff to do was like staying at a standard hotel. Great for large groups - would be fun with 3-4 families. Would be nice if instead of fake stuff everywhere there was an option for real stuff - real pies, real candy, etc (maybe they did and I missed it). Would be nice if small things like shampoo/conditioner were like a nicer hotel. We struggled with things like various things not working (though the signs and instructions were wonderful), bugs in beds/rooms, bathing in sulfur water (was fixed on day 2 quickly after we told them), stickers in the yard, etc. Stuff is a little worn down - which makes sense given how often it's booked. So overall - if you have multiple families, little kids, just want a place to chill - I think it's great and can be economical spread across. If you want to take your family on a luxury retreat then not as much. It's not that I wouldn't book one of the homes again (in fact the kids have asked about booking one of the others) I would just have different expectations and a different plan and then all would match and be fine!

Five perfect days for a big family
We had our first and ever family reunion in Sweet Escape, and nobody wanted it to finish. We are 7 siblings from one side, and 3 from the other, each of us with kids from 6 months up to 21 year old no-so-much-kid, plus grandpa, we were 40+ And everybody was confortable there, every age group had things to do at any time of the day/night it's a guarantee 24x7 fun place for every single family.

Sweet Escapes was a perfect place for our family reunion!
We had 12 adults and 16 kids, and there were so many beds we never even used. This place CAN really sleep up to 52 comfortably. I personally liked having a guest house separately from the main house, because I have young children and could put them to bed at the guest house and not have to worry about the night owls waking them up. (And we used WiFi video monitors to check on the kids while we went back to the main house.) The kids loved all of the activities, especially the free video games. The ball pit room and laser tag room were also big hits. The owner responded immediately to any questions or problems we had, and resolved any issues within the day. I would recommend this to property to any large group looking for a place to vacation.

best vacation home EVER
This home was by far the best experience my family and I ever had. Everything was perfect , the rooms , space , and pool. All my kids enjoyed it especially the adults. The rooms were breath taking! I didn't get a single complaint from my picky kids. I would most definitely recommend this house to any family who is looking for the time of their life. Great customer service, especially the owner. Till this day My Family Hasn't Stopped Talking about How Wonderful This Home was.
