questions & answers

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.

Absolutely! As long as you are primarily using The Sweet Escape for a vacation rental of 3 or more nights, you can create your dream wedding outdoors and invite guests!

There is a $2495 event fee in conjunction with getting owner approval for such an event.

How close are you to stores, restaurants, the Orlando attractions. etc?
The Sweet Escape is barely 10 minutes from Clermont, a sprawling suburb of Orlando filed with strip malls, chain stores, grocery markets, restaurants, etc; There are also a number of tourist attractions and entertainment venues in Clermont as well. These include fishing, bowling, laser tag, winery tours, cinema, the Citrus Tower landmark, indoor trampoline parks, paintball, hang gliding, a gorgeous chain of lakes, boating, etc; Orlando's theme park attractions are just over 35 easy minutes away. Guests of Sweet Escape LOVE our location: It's close enough to stargaze while hearing the "boom" of the Disney fireworks at night---yet far enough to have your own private oasis with a secluded hot tub and outdoor movie screen under the stars...a paradise to return to after a day at the theme parks exhausts you. You will LOVE our PERFECT easy-to-find location and its proximity...and distance...from everywhere you want to be!
