It is a fourth floor, penthouse level condo in the building next to the pool and the clubhouse, which is the most desirable location in Windsor Hills. The pool and clubhouse area are only a few steps away from our building. Parkhopper Grandview is located on the corner of the top floor of the building that overlooks the pool. It features what is probably the best view in Windsor Hills! Enjoy the fourth floor balcony and watch the sunset behind the pool.

     Windsor Hills is a gated community with a double Olympic-sized heated pool which features a two-story spiral water slide, children’s water play area with dancing waters fountains, and a secluded hot tub area. There are lighted tennis, basketball and volleyball courts as well as a fully equipped fitness center, a HD 42-seat  theater with free guest-selected movies, outdoor grills, putting green, and two children’s playgrounds.                  Windsor Hills Resort is one of the closest short term rental properties to the Disney main entrance.  Two right turns and two miles after exiting Windsor Hills and guests are driving under the “Welcome to Walt Disney World” sign. Driving time to the various Disney parks varies from about 7-12 minutes from Windsor Hills, depending on the park being visited, the time of day and traffic.

     Grandview has been completely refurbished and opened in late May 2017 with new furnishings, electronics and bedding. There are porcelain tile floors throughout main living living area of the unit and both baths,  with recently replaced carpeting in all three bedrooms.   The furniture in this unit has been fitted with glass tops, so no worries about damaging furniture and table tops.

     The living room features a 55' HD TV with a blu-ray player and plenty of seating with a  large comfortable sofa and love seat with oversized ottoman.  There is also a 42"HD TV in the Master BR and and a 24 inch TV  in the Princess Room.  All window treatments are updated, and the living room, master bedroom and Mickey Room feature ceiling fans.  The Princess Room does not have a ceiling fan due to the chandelier, but a regal, large white fan on a stand is provided if Her Majesty prefers a gentle breeze.   There are also quality new pillow top mattresses on all beds in the unit.  In addition to cable TV with multiple HD channels, a secure high speed wi-fi connection is also provided. 

     The master BR features a king bed with dual night stands an lamps and a large dresser with lots of storage for clothing and personal items.  A private en-suite bath with a newly renovated  spa-type shower is accessed through the master bedroom.   There is also a magnificent view of the pool, the lake, and the surrounding area from the window in the master bedroom.  Plenty of fluffy bath linens are also furnished .

     The Princess room features a queen bed with a pillow-top mattress that should be suitable for even the most delicate of princesses.  (Just in case YOUR princess is extra delicate, no peas are allowed!)  A crown canopy above the headboard with glittered white sheers retracted to the sides of the bed add to the regal effect.  The other furnishings include the 24" chandelier and a gold and white dresser and nightstand which are fitting for royalty.  Her Majesty also has a glorious and "Grand View" of her kingdom from her bedroom window where she may choose to survey her kingdom with views of the pool, the lake and beyond.  If Her Majesty is an early riser, she may also be entertained by the many hot air balloons that generally appear in the sky early each morning. She may also view her subjects as they enjoy the pool or she may choose to grace them with her presence and join them in frolicking in the pool if that is her pleasure.   

     For the less royally inclined, the Mickey room has a full and a twin beds, also with new pillow top mattresses.   The Mickey room also features a ceiling fan,  blackout curtains for nap time and brightly colored icicle lights that  surround the ceiling of the entire room.  These lights are beautifully reflected in the angles of the 5 mirrored stars on the walls of the Mickey Room, but unfortunately this effect does not show up well in the photo.  However, the colored icicle lights create a magical effect when the overhead lighting is turned off and the blackout draperies are used.  A chest of drawers is in one end of the closet to provide extra storage for clothing and personal items.  The Princess room and the Mickey room share a hallway bath that is also accessible from the Living Room area.   A full tub/shower combination and a hand-held shower accessory make bathing younger guests an easier task in this bath.
