Florida Condo Modeled After Disney’s Haunted Mansion Quickly Scares Up a Buyer

Nothing really goes bump in the night at this particular condo on the market near Walt Disney World.

But the creepy interiors sure look like something spooky could happen.

That’s precisely the draw of this apartment.

“It’s being used as an Airbnb, and it is pretty much a replica of Disney’s Haunted Mansion, literally from the wallpaper to the decor and the lighting. The owner of the condo really went all out to try to find replications of what he would see in the Haunted Mansion,” says listing agent Karrie Coggeshall, with Home Experts Realty.

Mission very accomplished!

Scary fun

The list price for the 1,227-square-foot condo in Davenport, FL, was $260,000 about a month ago. And just in time for Halloween, the scary-fun pad is already pending sale.

“This one definitely piqued a lot of interest when people were looking just because of the uniqueness of the property inside, and the attention to detail that she had with everything. It’s a fun place to go to stay. I stayed there overnight one night, and it’s just super cool,” Coggeshall says.

The three-bed, two-bath condo is just outside of the Disney corridor, in a community full of short-term rentals and vacation-style amenities.

“It’s literally 15 minutes from all your major parks in Orlando, and you’re on the outskirts, so you’re not quite stuck in all that congestion and traffic,” she explains. “It’s family-friendly and has all kinds of amenities that you can think of.”

The seller has a habit of creating cool rentals and is selling this one so she can move on to other projects.

“She is a huge Disney fan to begin with, and Haunted Mansion is one of her favorite attractions,” Coggeshall says.

“She had another Airbnb that was a ‘Friends’ theme that made headlines as well when she went to sell that property. Literally, she made it look just like the ‘Friends’ apartment. I mean, it was crazy.”

Dedication to detail

For this condo, the homeowner searched online for items like wallpaper and lighting that look like rooms from the Haunted Mansion, Coggeshall says.

“The pictures that are in the primary bedroom are what you would see in the main entryway going into the Haunted Mansion. She spends a lot of time looking for something that is, if not exact, then extremely similar to what you would see at the attraction,” Coggeshall says.

While props create a sense of spookiness, ghosts don’t actually live here.

“It is haunt-free. It’s whatever your imagination wants it to be,” Coggeshall says with a laugh. “She’s got different projectors in there and stuff that will manifest apparitions and whatnot, but that’s about as far as that goes. There’s no hauntings.”
