Perfect location for the parks and a short journey from Orlando airport. Pool size and deck are excellent and accommodated our group of 13 well. John is a top host and comms were really useful, accessing the villa and estate were simple and all instructions very clear.
Fantastic place to stay. House is extremely well appointed. Pool is large, heated and our whole family enjoyed it - especially our grandchildren. Lots of extra towels, kitchen utensils and space for all to enjoy. Close to Disney, stores and tons of local food options. We will be back. Highly recommended!
This house was amazing! It was so spacious for a large group. There was plenty of bathrooms for everyone and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was awesome and we loved watching the large screen while in the pool and hot tub. The property managers were very helpful and the owner was absolutely fabulous. He was extremely reponsive and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The tiniest thing was rectified immediately! There was plenty of parking for a large group. The lake was very nice and we did not need to buy a licence to fish. You just need to catch and release. We had a wonderful stay and would definently come back!
The host was attentive and proactive to resolve an issue with the dryer-much appreciated. The home was warm and inviting; beautifully decorated. Would recommend.
Beautiful home that was perfect for our family of 12. Beds were comfy, plenty of dishes, pots and pans to cook at the house. We brought spices, baggies, foil, and the little things we did not want to buy more of to bring home and it worked out great. Loved the pool and spa and the close proximity to Universal and Disney. Would definitely recommend for a large family trip.
Hello Joanna,
Thank you so much for a 5 star review and your very kind words.
The private email you sent was even better and I include it here so that I can remember those words any time there is criticism ;-)
Absolutely. You are amazing and the villa is incredible. Booking always for our family vacations. This is the best one with the best host. Thank you so much.
I would love to hear from you again in the future
Best Wishes

So convenient to Disney. Pool & hot tub great & we watched a movie while in the pool! 4 spacious bedrooms on the first floor which was great for our older family members plus 3 bedrooms upstairs. Although we didn't need an alarm on the door to the pool it is a great safety feature if you have littles. We would definitely stay again.
This house was amazing. The house was clean and the neighborhood was beautiful. All needed amenities were on hand. There are several safety features for small children including baby gates and alarms on all doors leading to the pool.
Great location . Well appointed fabulous large villa . Nice and quiet . Very close to Disney and restaurants . Very safe for small kids with pool alarms .

Thank you for such an excellent review. We appreciate you taking the time to do this. The jacuzzi is always a big hit and now we have the poolside Cinema which is also a massive hit. Look forward to hearing from you again.
This was the perfect place to relax and do Disney at the same time.

Thank you for such a wonderful review. It is always a pleasure for me to read the reviews because each guest finds something different to highlight. The neighbourhood is special and is considered one of the most prestigious in this area. perfect for a large group or family. I would love to hear from you again so that you can see the villa improvements.
House is very spacious with everything you need for a great vacation. The owner is really helpful and communication is easy with him. Our only critique is the water pressure but all in all that didn’t affect the great time we had. Would definitely stay again

We want guests to enjoy the space and have specifically set up spaces in the villa for family to meet and chat and have fun. We really love that you loved it all.
Super place for a large family of 4 couples and 5 kids under 12. Close proximity to Disney and the pool and hot tub was perfect after a day in the park.

What makes this property unique
You are in Florida so you just want to be outside even when it rains. The villa is within a mile of a winery, a golf club and an Aqua Park and of course a couple of miles from Disney. At the front of the villa in the covered porch there are 4 rocking chairs which is ideal to relax on while you wait for the rest of your family or friends to get ready to go out. Pool side there is the covered lanai with chairs for everyone to watch TV or stair at the pool in all weathers. There are 10 Smart TVs 75 inch in the main living room 65 inch in each of the 5 King bedrooms, living room, Games-room and lanai. 48 inch in the room with 2 full beds 43 inch in the Princess room. The BBQ is at the side of the villa for the al fresco cooking. The lake for a little fishing. (Bass) Even I caught one. The games room to get away from everyone / chill on a couch watching the television, playing pool or games or having a family air hockey tournament or exercise on the bicycle that goes nowhere. There is just something for everyone. It is hard to remember but the reason you are on holiday is to be at Disney or Universal. With Disney only a couple of miles away many guests come back to the villa for lunch and a swim then go back to the parks for the evenings entertainment. It is like having Disney on your doorstep.
