My wife, two daughters, and I stayed at Yan and Colin's Pool House cottage for three nights for a two-day trip to the Disney Resort. The house has an automatic gate, and we were greeted by rabbits on the front lawn to the delight of the family. Yan met us when we arrived, which was nice. The cottage is located in their picturesque back yard behind the pool. Although we didn't have time to use the pool or the other amenities, everything looked most inviting, and our older daughter had me take pictures of her in this setting both days.
There was everything we needed inside the cottage, including a kitchen area with sink, refrigerator, and stove. (Be sure to set the refrigerator on a low setting, 2 out of 8, to prevent soda from freezing.) The girls said their bed was comfortable, and our bed was firm, which we liked. It is very quiet in this neighborhood, with a semi-rural suburban feeling, and we slept soundly after our long days of trekking around the park. There are two showers in the cottage, and the new stainless steel shower unit in the back bath was a highlight for me, with the overhead rain setting and the side sprayers.
The drive to Disney was only 30 minutes heading straight down Harbor Blvd, with no freeway driving needed. It was nice to be able to stop and grab coffee on the way. So as far as location goes, it was just fine if one is planning to drive to the Disney parking structure anyway. We felt safe and secure and enjoyed our stay very much.
