Seeking Celebration Carriage House/Garage Apt
I am preparing to permanently relocate to the Orlando area and fulfill a long-held dream of living right here in the beautiful, historic villages of Celebration. I am looking to secure a safe, reliable lease for a standalone garage apartment / carriage house starting in August or September.
I am a mature, serious professional content creator who has split my time between Dallas and Orlando for years. With my career heavily tied to the theme park and entertainment industry, moving to Celebration full-time is the perfect next step for my business and my life.
Because I want my future landlord to feel 100% comfortable letting me into their space, here is a bit about who I am as a tenant:
🏡 Financial Security: I am currently in the process of selling my home in Dallas. Because of the equity from the sale, I am in a position to pay multiple months of rent entirely in advance to ensure absolute peace of mind.
🎓 Respectful & Mature: I spent my college years earning two degrees in Manhattan, so I completely understand the etiquette of urban, shared-space living. I treat my rental spaces with the utmost respect—as if they were my own home.
🚭 Clean Lifestyle: I am a strict non-smoker, non-drinker, very quiet, and incredibly tidy.
🐾 A Small Companion: I have a wonderful, 12-lb rescue pup who is my shadow. He is 2 years old, completely house-trained, exceptionally well-behaved, and quiet. (Of course, I welcome any pet deposits!).
🚗 Parking: I drive a Jeep Wrangler, so a unit with a dedicated alley parking pad or clear parking arrangement would be ideal.
A Quick Note on my Timeline:
Because of my work in the park industry, the upcoming Halloween season means I will be traveling continuously back and forth to Los Angeles during the month of August. For this reason, a late August or September 1st move-in would be incredibly smooth, though I am flexible for the right fit!
I am using my current transition time to find the perfect, long-term match. If you have a carriage house coming available in the late summer, or know someone who does, I would absolutely love to connect and chat.
Thank you so much for your time, and I look forward to meeting you around the villages soon!

Hello,
I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! My name is Derek, and I am reaching out because I am planning a permanent move to Celebration and your listing caught my eye. I am a mature, professional content creator looking for the right living arrangement as I transition my life to Florida full-time.
My timeline is a little unique due to an unexpected plot twist: I recently fell off a ladder and fractured my femur! I am currently completing physical therapy back in Dallas while preparing to sell my home. My realtor expects a very quick sale, meaning I will have substantial cash reserves from the equity. To ensure my future landlord or roommates feel completely secure and comfortable, I am more than happy to pay a few months of rent upfront.
Because of my physical therapy schedule, I am looking to secure a lease starting either in August or September. August will be a busy travel month for me anyway—my work will have me flying back and forth between Orlando and Los Angeles quite a bit.
A little bit about me and my household:
Me: When I'm not traveling or working, I am an incredibly respectful, clean, and friendly housemate. My business partner lives nearby in Davenport, so I’ve already been spending about half my year in the area and absolutely love the community.
My Dog: I have a wonderful, 12-pound rescue dog who has been my loyal companion for two years. He is fully house-trained, exceptionally well-behaved, and very quiet. I completely understand and welcome any pet deposits required to give you peace of mind.
My Vehicle: I drive a Jeep Wrangler, so I would love to know what the parking situation looks like near your property.
To help me plan, could you let me know if the room is currently furnished or empty? Also, does the monthly rent include utilities, or are those split separately?
I am using my recovery time to find the absolute perfect fit, and I would love to chat if you think we might be a good match. Either way, thank you so much for your time and consideration!
Warmly,
Derek
