The Lighthouse Key Resort & Spa Featured Guest Review for April 2011 is by D. Groshek from Michigan who stayed at 6-2001 LK-LK #304, a 3 bedroom Orlando vacation condo rental:
“We were absolutely thrilled when we opened the door of our condo; it looked exactly as nice as the online photographs. The view from our balcony was fabulous. The kitchen was fully equipped and all appliances stainless steel and spotlessly clean.
“Perfectly located for Disney; the drive there was quick and easy. Staff was very helpful, friendly and provided excellent service. Would highly recommend Lighthouse Key to anyone considering an Orlando vacation.”
