Photos and Description of this 5 bedroom holiday home in Indian Creek - Serendipity at Indian Creek
We're Minutes from the Attractions and would Love to be Part of Your Memories!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Imagine coming home at the end of an exhilarating day at the theme parks...
You grab a refreshing drink from the fridge, flake out on the sofa in the outdoor living area right by the pool and reminisce about all the amazing things you did that day.
The kids are splashing around in the pool, you have your feet up. Totally relaxed.
Memories made, job done!
Serendipity at Indian Creek offers all the comforts of home and then some. We call it laid back luxury - all the high quality amenities to make it special, but laid back so you feel comfortable enough to just kick back and relax.
We really do have everything you could think of to put on your wish-list, so let us show you how a vacation with us could be the perfect choice for you and your family...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♦♦♦ LOCATION! LOCATION! ♦♦♦
We're 4 miles to Disney so it's so effortless for you to take a quick trip home during the dayfor a cooling swim or lunch.
You can easily head back in the evening for the spectacular fireworks.
We have a terrific shortcut we can share with you that uses the Disney back roads - just two sets of lights and you're right there in the heart of the magic.
You'll find plenty of restaurants and stores within a few minutes of the house. We'll share some of our hidden gems with you too.
Universal Studios is just 20 minutes away and the rest of the endless attractions are all within easy reach.
Everything you need really is right on your door step.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♦♦♦ KICK BACK IN THE POOLSIDE LIVING AREA ♦♦♦
You'll be spending lots of time out by the pool. It's just the perfect place to make the most of that wonderful outdoor Florida lifestyle.
Kick back and relax on the rattan patio furniture or watch a movie by the pool on the 42 inch Smart HDTV. We have complimentary Netflix too and the TV is internet ready with 200mbps lightening speed.
There's a gas grill, so the guys can take care of dinner while the girls sink into the hot tub and let the soothing jets take away the aches of all that walking around the parks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♦♦♦ PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL ♦♦♦
The kids can squeal away in the pool while you just lay back and soak up the sunshine on the luxurious padded rattan sun loungers and recliners. Sink back and dream.
The whole backyard is surrounded by a whimsical themed fence so you have complete privacy and are not overlooked from any direction.
The pool and sun deck are caged with a fine mesh to keep the bugs out and let the sunshine and breeze in.
For the protection of the little ones there's a safety fence separating all access areas to the pool and, as an added precaution, all patio doors are alarmed. If you don't have children with you, you can turn them off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♦♦♦ YOU'LL LOVE THE LIGHTING AT NIGHT! ♦♦♦
We just know how much you'll thoroughly enjoy relaxing out by the pool in the evenings, so we've added feature lighting to the whole backyard.
It gives you the perfect atmosphere to unwind and relax and share precious times. Sip a glass of wine or a beer while the kids are safely tucked up in bed sound asleep. Or happily playing in the game room.
The pool also has a great underwater lighting system too that gently changes color.
Perfect for an evening swim.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♦♦♦ REJUVENATE IN THE HOT TUB ♦♦♦
You can just sit back and relax and feel the heat as the bubbling jets take away all your aches of the day.
It's hard work having fun you know!
But you'll soon be rejuvenated and ready to do it all again the next day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♦♦♦ SPACIOUS LIVING - SEATING FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY ♦♦♦
We know vacations are all about spending precious time together.
Everyone loves to kick back together, so the open plan living area has been created with your whole family in mind. There's a large three seat sofa, a reclining love seat, two rocking and reclining armchairs, a large corner unit and 2 ottomans. There's even 2 extra tiny rocking chairs for the little ones.
The Bose surround sound system perfectly compliments the huge 70inch HDTV so you can enjoy watching one of over 300 DVDs we provide.
You can never see too many Disney classics!
There's complimentary Netflix too. And a fully upgraded HD cable package. The 70 inch and the tv out by the pools are both internet ready smart TVs, so you can surf away. We have lightening speed 200mbps wifi with whole house echo, which means you get a great signal no matter where you are.

About Sarah Elder
Hi there, we are Sarah & Ken Elder.
Who knew when we bought our first home 11 years ago that it would lead us down the path of a new business venture?
We certainly had no idea, but we've now beenn welcoming guests to our beautiful Orlando vacation homes for over a decade and we love every minute.
Imagine having a job where you help plan exciting and amazing vacations and get to deal with happy guests all the time!
It doesn’t get much better!
We spent 28 years living on an idyllic Greek Island where we owned and ran our own restaurant in a busy coastal village. Time eventually caught up with us and we left our beautiful Greek Island with a lifetime of memories.
We now split our time between Florida and Ken's ancestral home in Scotland.
We spend half the year overlooking a beautiful Scottish Loch and the other half on Disney’s doorstep in Florida.
Who says you can’t have your Key Lime Pie and eat it too!
We have 3 vacation homes of our own and we also manage reservations and guest relations for 3 other homes, which belong to family members and close personal friends.
We all have the same firm commitment and that is to provide wonderful relaxing and carefree vacations in beautiful homes.
We look forward to being part of your vacation memories.
Sarah Elder purchased this house in 2005
Why Sarah Elder chose Kissimmee
When we were looking to purchase a home, we had two main thoughts - there had to be a spacious living area where all the family could spend time together and it had to be as close to the Disney parks as possible to enable us to easily pop back home during the day.
As soon as we walked into Serendipity, we knew instantly it was 'The One' we had been searching for.
We found our piece of paradise and now have the magical theme parks just a stones throw away and also all the endless entertainment and recreational activities Orlando and central Florida has to offer.
Fabulous beaches are within an hour's drive, the Florida state parks are just beautiful. Shopping and dining are endless and of course we have the beautiful sunshine which is just the icing on the cake.
What makes this house unique
We love the fact the pool is not overlooked in any direction, the high enclosure ensures complete privacy and it also has a great whimsical beach theme, so it's not just a boring old fence!
The lighting around the pool and yard at night make it a great area to relax and unwind after a hectic day and nothing beats watching a movie outside by the pool.
The outdoor living area is our favorite place and when we have friends and family staying, we tend to spend all our time out there just relaxing and enjoying time together.
Perfect!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Ken & Sarah, I can't thank you enough for making our first family vacation "away" from home a huge success!!!
From my initial email to you and any correspondence there after, communication was always prompt and very informative. Thank you for all the extra little tidbits to help us make the best choices.
My family of 5 absolutely loved the home. It had everything we could have wanted it to. The games room, even though it had a Playstation in it, for our stay never actually got turned on.....we were
challenging one and another in games of skill, whether it be pool or air hockey, sometimes foosball.
The close proximity to all the amenities was a huge plus. With a lot of our time being spent at the parks, your short-cut to Disney was greatly appreciated.
The patio with the hot tub and pool, I can honestly say got the most use. The kids were in every morning before we started out for the day and again in the evening for a swim before bed., and I
appreciated the hot tub in the evenings after our days spent at the parks. It was very relaxing!
You should take pride in the service you offer your clients, it is first rate. Your management company does an excellent job, the house upon arrival was immaculate. Thank you for making your home so
welcoming, and the kids LOVED the DVD collection you have. The welcome pack is a great idea, and the kids gobbled up the goodies in no time after the flight down. Any friends that are planning a
trip to Orlando, who are looking for a rental property, I will surely recommend your home. Thank you for helping to make our vacation very memorable for many years to come.
We all kept saying, could you imagine up all cramped up in a room at resort. We made the best choice for our family.

Flawless Attention To Detail & Ultimate Relaxation
I've rented many homes on this site and none have been close in comparison to the cleanliness, comfort, and overall attention to detail of this home. From the first minute you contact the owners, Sarah responds almost immediately and is so kind and welcoming! The home has EVERYTHING you could possibly want/need. Every possible kitchen appliance, DVD's for the kinds & family, Games, Books, Washer/Dryer w/ Detergant, Pool Towels & tons of chairs (the comfiest kind), Books, anything you could possibly need for your baby (Crib, Pack&Play, Monitor, etc), and every possible amenity you could ask for! The outdoor pool/hot tub/backyard is ULTRA Private and quiet! I can't recommend this house/rental enough. Thank you, Sarah!
Magical Week in Orlando. Chris S.
My extended family of 10 vacationed at Serendipity in July. We ranged in age from 64 to 2 yrs.
The ranch house was clean, very nicely arranged & the perfect place for us to stay during our adventures at Disney World theme parks & Universal Studios.
Everyone was able to have their own private area while at the same time enough room allowing us to have a gathering place for some down time. This is something hotel rooms cannot provide.
The bedding was very comfortable & there was more than adequate linens, pillows, etc.
There were even many baby items available if needed.
The pool area was beautiful & very inviting. It provided a refreshing oasis after a hot day at the parks. Sarah & Ken also provided swimming jackets for the little ones & beach towels.
The kitchen contained everything a cook could want to fix meals. There was a welcome basket upon our arrival to hold us until we could shop. We didn't use the barbecue pit but the area appeared adequate.
The kids loved the repurposed garage game room.
Also, we appreciated the close proximity of the house to Disney World. We have stayed on Disney property before & travel time was about the same as waiting for the bus or monorail.
Thanks for helping us create wonderful vacation memories. We all wished we could have spent more time at serendipity enjoying all the amenities.
Absolute Perfection
We had an amazing stay at this wonderful home. There were so many little touches like a basket full of snack and fruit to games and toys for the children. I think to start with a wonderful home you have to have wonderful people who own it and that is Sarah. Sarah answered my request in less than 30 minutes and was in constant contact with me throughout my whole trip. There was certain items that I was concerned about and she took all of them seriously and made arrangements so that the house met all my expectations. From the time we walked into the home we felt like it was truly vacation time. The house was so clean and well organized with everything you could need just like you were in your own home. The house was large and the whole family had tons of room for all over their items and everyone felt like they had room to move about. The kids love the game room, video consoles, and most important the pool. The rooms are themed so the children were just thrilled with the different characters and kid items just for them. They loved the house more than they enjoyed the park. The neighborhood was near restaurants, super markets, and lots of shopping places ( my poor husband).
Overall this house is absolute perfection. Customer service is 100%. Comfort of the beds is 100%. Location to Disney is 100%. You couldn't ask for anything more and if you did Sarah would be there with her magic wand and grant your request. We cannot wait to return to this amazing home.
Wonderfull And lovely
We loved to arrive at the House, it was kindly, very clean And the pool was adorable to relax. Every one feel like our home, together And played And see pictures during the night. Close to the Parks And everything was wonderfull . We aré very happy to choose you.
The perfect base for everything that is Orlando!
We have an awesome stay at this house! We traveled with 3 young boys (11, 9 and 9) and my mother. The property is well maintained and stocked with everything you need! Great attention is given to provide for all ages in this wonderful house. When you went to look for something it was right there in the logical place! The boys enjoyed the pool and the game room on days when we delayed our trips to the parks. We spent three days in Universal and the drive in was a piece of cake! Everyone had their own space for quiet times. The neighbor was secure and quiet but I think that had to due with the time of year. November is very quiet in Orlando. We encountered short wait times for the attractions especially in Universal. We have rented many houses for vacations and this one ranks in the top tier! We will return - it is simple as that!
Great place for our extended family vacation !
Sarah and Ken:
Absolutely as advertised ! The main factors for our booking were the exceptionally detailed descriptions of the amenities and the pictures. They were all spot on and absolutely accurate. Property condition was great, clean and perfectly organized for our stay. Our grandchildren (5,8,11) loved all the amenities in the house, especially the pool and the game room. They all had their own bedrooms which they thought was "awesome" Adults loved the space, having their own suites and the great kitchen. Having some first morning and sandwich making food was greatly appreciated. Shopping was very close by, and your shortcut to Disney was just perfect for saving time and driving hassle. We were maybe 10-15 minutes to front gate of Animal Kingdom! Could not have had a better 3 generation stay at your place, just what we hoped for....Thank you! Jeff and Jane Boulter
Location
We have a treasure trove of tips, so don't hesitate to contact us with any questions at all.
Great Community
There are two children's playgrounds, a fitness park, tennis court, basketball and multigames court, practice putting green and jogging/walking paths around the lake.
Terrific Location
Indian Creek is situated in one of the most sought after locations available to Disney. Animal Kingdom is the closest Disney park to us just 4 miles away - we can even give you a great shortcut to avoid the traffic. We are so close, you can easily break the day by going back home for a cooling swim in the afternoons or head back to the parks in the evenings for the spectacular fireworks.
Restaurants Close By
The Formosa Village is less than a mile away and is home to several restaurants including Outback Steakhouse, TGI Fridays, Wild Wings, Olive Garden and Red Lobster. The busy US192 Highway is just a minute further and home to a huge selection of stores and restaurants. There is a Publix and SuperTarget just 2 miles away and a 24 hour Walmart just a little further.
