Hey There! We are Ken & Sarah Elder. It’s a pleasure to E-Meet you!
Who knew when we bought our first home in Orlando in 2005 that it would lead us down the path of a new business venture?
We certainly had no idea, but we’ve now been welcoming guests to our beautiful Orlando vacation homes ever since.
Imagine having a job where you help plan magical vacations and get to work with happy guests all the time. It doesn’t get much better!
We spend half the year on Disney’s doorstep and half the year in Cyprus, a beautiful island in the Mediterranean.
Who says you can’t have your Key Lime Pie and eat it too.
And we get our with Pixie Dust sprinkled on top 🙂
Why You’ll Love Our Vacation Homes
We’ve learned over the years that our guests have pretty much the same requirements we had. When we started looking to purchase our first home, we had a few essential requirements:
- There had to be a spacious living area where all the family could spend time together.
- There had to be a private outdoor space where we could spend sunny days and hang out after the parks.
- It had to be as close to Disney as possible. We wanted to be able to pop to and from the parks quickly and easily.
We spent weeks looking at endless properties in various locations and as soon as we walked into Serendipity at Indian Creek, we knew instantly.
This was ‘The One’ we had been holding out for.
It had that big spacious open plan living area where we could all hang out. The pool was totally private. And it was just over 4 miles to Disney!
We soon discovered we LOVED being in the hospitality world. And also guests loved Serendipity so much, we didn’t have dates available for us ????
We decided to expand a little and started looking for another home. We had stayed in a resort called Vista del Lago, just a couple of miles from Serendipity. It was such a friendly resort, with lots of amenities and still so close to Disney. We found Sleepy Hollow in 2010.
Life Changes in 2021
If nothing else, Covid reminded us to treasure time with family. We decided to up roots and buy a home on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, to be close to my father. At the grand old age of 86, he’s doing amazing and loves having his daughter and son-in-law so close by.
We sold Serendipity to Bin and Shu Wang, who are now the proud owners of our ‘first baby’.
We are lucky enough to be able to continue working alongside Bin & Shu with welcoming guests to Serendipity AND spend precious time with family!
