You will find we have fantastic views looking out over the conservation area whilst dining inside and out! This is a truly fantastic villa for your family.
There are plenty of opportunities to relax at our home as we have an oversized pool and decking area with a hot tub. While relaxing on the decking you can take in the view of both our lake and conversation area. You can sunbathe by the pool, eat Alfresco at our outside dining table or chill under our linai in our comfy sitting area.
If you're looking for a little more excitement why not have a game of pool on our full size 8' slate bed pool table or alternatively a game of air hockey or foosball.
Our home is located conveniently for all Major Florida attractions. Disney World Main Gate being only 10 minutes away opening up many parks such as Disney Animal Kingdom Park, Hollywood Film Studios (formerly MGM Studios), Epcot And Disney Magic Kingdom Park. Also you can take a day in the sun at one of Disney's Water Parks. Disney's Typhoon Lagoon designed as a tropical paradise, and Disney's Blizzard Beach themed on a frosty ski resort.
Also very close are the theme parks at Universal Studios Orlando and Islands of Adventure. Take the 532 from our villa to the Champions Gate exit and head to Orlando on the I4 until you reach the exit for Universal Studios. The journey will take approximately 25 minutes.
SeaWorld Orlando Theme Park is located just off the I4 before the Universal Studios exit. Also located optimise and owned by SeaWorld are Discovery Cove and Aquatica. Discovery Cove is a limited entrant park where you will need to book to swim with the dolphins. If you book a day here it will be a day that you will remember for the rest of your life's. Aquatica is a water designed and run by the SeaWorld group. There are lots of fun slides and shoots to enjoy with all the family.
Theme Park Tickets can be purchased from our management company.
International Drive is approximately 15 to 20 minutes from our home and has a wealth of choice when it comes to eating, entertainment and shopping. You will find all the major chain restaurants and bars available in this area.
There is also Sand Lake Road for a night out with fine dining and up market wine bars. These include Chris Ruth's Steak House, Rocco Taco's Mexican Restaurants, Season 52, Slate and many more.
Another area not to miss is Old Town In Kissimmee on the 192. On a Saturday night they have Cruiser Cars Nite where you can view many old classic cars from the past. They also have a great amusement area with many rides for the kids and adults if you haven't had enough of the Parks.
If you are feeling the daily Theme Park visits a little to much then there beaches a plenty just over an hour away. Daytona Beach is fantastic and the pier and boardwalk are ideal places to relax and eat. Two times a year they have the biker weekends which are absolutely fantastic. On the other coast we have Clearwater Beach another ideal opportunity to relax and enjoy this tourist area location. If you are looking for a slightly more off the track beach location two more that we would recommend are Madeira Beach by St Johns Pass and Anna Maria Island. Madeira Beach is usually pretty quite at anytime of year and being opposite St Johns Pass makes it ideal for having a bite to eat as well. Anna Maria Island is probably one of the most peaceful places on earth. We have spend many a day relaxing on the beach and enjoying a drink on the pier.
If shopping is something you wish to do than Florida has some of the best options available from discount areas to high end premium brands. There are plenty of shopping areas where you can shop at discounted prices one of the most popular being the outlet mall at Lake Buena Vista which is approximately 15 minutes North on the I4. There are also The Mall Millenia for high end big brand names and the Florida Mall which is middle of park as far as pricing is concerned.
It goes without saying that Florida is probably one of the best places to play golf. Our home is located just minutes from one of the best known areas Champions Gate where they are a few options for all levels of golfers. Call them up and book a convenient tee time that suits your itinerary.

Thank you again Colin for choosing to book our home. We are so happy that you had a relaxing time at our home and I couldn’t agree more about our location and the convenience it affords while vacationing at our home. We also hope you found the access to Publix (less than a mile) and the new Walmart (around 7 minutes away) really accommodating. We have always thought having these amenities so close made our holidays so easy. We would like to thank you again for booking our home and taking care of it while on your stay.

Fabulous property with fabulous owner
We have visited Orlando many times and rented many different places but this property is right up at the top of the list.
Really well laid out, clean and tidy, loads of room, really close to local amenities but also close to all the Disney/Universal bits and pieces.
Owner went above and beyond as our visit was only a few weeks after Hurricane Irma had happened but everything was back and all in working order by the time we got there.
Will definitely be re-booking - in fact we have :-)

The owner was super easy to work with. We had a great stay with 2 children and 4 to 6 adults. Overall we had a great stay and would rent this property again.
Pros:
-house is large and has lots to do- the kids enjoyed the games in the garage
-neighborhood is quiet and convenient to parks (15 min drive without traffic)
-the screened in back yard area was lovely
-the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, including kids stuff
Cons:
-limited supplies at the home- trash bags, dish soap, laundry soap. This isn't a big deal but it's hard to have to buy fill containers of these items for a 6 day stay
-the house was clean but worn, with carpet needing replacing and the mattresses being worn out, as well as the pool alarm not functioning to alert to people going out (something I worried about with young children)
-the pool heat is extra, but worked quickly and was easy to get added
Quiet neighborhood, convenient to all of the parks we were visiting. Plenty of space for 2 adults and 6 children. The children especially enjoyed the pool and play area set up in the garage, swimming and playing foosball, air hockey and pool each night to wind down before bedtime.
Little details like fans above the play tables in the garage, provided inflatable pool toys, and tons of silverware made the stay even more pleasant.
Communication with the owner was easy, never intrusive, and the check in instructions made it ridiculously simple at arrival. We were inside the house and settling in less than a minute after parking in the driveway.
We try to visit Orlando once a year, and this house will be the one we check for availability first.

Aaron and his party were perfect guests. They respected our home and if they had any questions at all they message me through the platform. I was so pleasured that they loved our location which is extremely close to the parks however in a great quite location when you are not attending the parks. I would highly recommend Arron and his family they were great renters. We look forward to hosting you again when you return to Florida and if there is anything else I can personally help with all you have to do is ask. Thanks again for choosing our home.

Lovely house with plenty of room
We were a family of 8 adults and 2 children staying for 10 days in this amazing house. Plenty of space, lovely pool, nice playroom and in a quiet neighborhood. It was nice and clean and had everything you needed. The house is just 30-45 minutes drive from the parks in Orlando. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Jason for having us and be a very good host.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 March 2020
Thank you for your review Charlotte and it was a pleasure having you stay in our home. I'm not sure you got the timings right for the Theme Parks and that may have been the traffic as you were staying at Easter which can be a very busy time in Orlando. When we are there (going again in June) our journey from the Airport on the route we provide has never taken more than 35 minutes. Disney entrance is around 12 minutes. Depending on which Park you are visiting you can add a few more minutes the further you travel into Disney World Resort. SeaWorld is around 20 minutes with Aquatica being an extra couple. Universal Orlando is just over 25 minutes North on the I4 which is really close to our home. Busch is the furthest obviously as its out at Tampa. Its around an hour to Busch. I want to thank you again for staying in our home and I would definitely recommend you as a good renter here on HomeAway.
If anyone has any questions regarding staying in our home please just shot me a message on here and I'll be happy to resond.

Thank you John for choosing our home. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I’m always on hand to answer any questions you may have and the HomeAway platform makes communications really easy. I always aim to respond as quick as possible and thank you for pointing that out. We love how close we are to the supermarkets and the opening of the new Walmart just about 8 minutes away really makes it super convenient for anyone staying at our home. If you need something quicker there’s always Publix which is under a mile. Thank you for pointing out our close we are to all theme parks and our home has plenty of room for all occupance. It’s nice to here that your family enjoyed our games room and pool area. We spend so much time in both when we are staying at our home. Thank you again for staying in our home and thank you for recommending us to your family and friends. We hope to host you again in the near future, Jason

Large, clean and conveniently located home.
Before arriving, the communication with the owner established a feeling of comfort knowing he was readily available to an answer any and all questions. Once at the home we were beyond pleased with the cleanliness of the home. It contained everything we needed for our stay. The game room was a huge hit for our three kids ages 11, 12 & 16. The kids were swimming in the pool before I could finish seeing each room. My wife especially enjoyed the balcony of the master bedroom to sit and drink her morning coffee. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms provided more than enough room for our family of five. We highly recommend this home for your stay and will use it again for in the future.

We would like to thank James and his family for booking our home it was a pleasure getting to know you through our conversation here on HomeAway. I believe that communication is the key to any booking we have and delivering answers in a timely manner is so important. Thank you for highlighting our games room. We have just replaced the Air Hockey (Jan 19) and the new NHL table is fantastic. I am so glad to hear that your kids enjoyed our pool and spa we think the lake views are fantastic and enjoy many hours in and around the pool. We hope you enjoyed the convenient location to the parks and the easy access from the I4. We hope that we can host you again in the near future and we really appreciate the way you took care of our home. Many thanks again Jason

Excellent family vacation in Luxury Florida Villa
We had a amazing 2 weeks in this Villa location, facilities and layout all very accurate description. We all loved the view of the lake from the pool area just stunning! House was very clean and had everything you would need for a stress free stay. House was very well maintained and very homely . I would definitely recommend this home to friends travelling out to Florida who wants a good and reliable customer service in a beautiful home.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 March 2020
Thank you again for staying in our home Shirley. Also thanks for highlighting the facilities at our home. We work hard on providing an excellent renter experience. We love the layout of our home and its perfect in a group due to the openness downstairs from the lounge, dining and kitchen areas. We chose the lot based on the view of the lake and have spent many hours in and around our pool area. Our management company is excellent at setting up the home so that when you arrive you just walk through the door and everything is ready to go. We know how far some renters travel and due to this fact was one of the reasons we use key-codes on the front door. We know all to well that once you've had a long journey all you want to do is arrive and the home and enter, no stopping off to pick up keys. Thank you again so much for your kind words and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Very comfortable and spacious villa with all expectations met. Spent 2 weeks here and enjoyed every minute.. Pool, spa and patio area perfect for relaxing with a beautiful view over the lake especially at sunrise... ideal location with short drive to most of the parks and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. All rooms and bathrooms very spacious and spotlessly clean on arrival.. was very grateful for the air conditioning... we have no complaints regarding this villa and have already booked again for next year.

Perfect! Comfy beds, spotlessly clean, nice pool and poolside furniture, fast wifi, really good games room, loads of kitchen equipment, nice layout. Photos are accurate (always a relief when booking!).
Best to go on the back road route to the parks, (as the main roads are pretty rammed); it will save you at least 10 mins.

Amazing Villa
This was the 3rd time we had stayed at the villa and as usual it did not disappoint, the place is great and suits us and our 3 children down to the ground. The villa was clean and well maintained throughout and is located in a fantastically quiet central location not only for Disney but to get to the other attractions and amenities that Orlando has to offer. The directions to the villa were perfect and it was easy to find again from the airport - it felt like we were coming home!
The children loved the air hockey game and of course the pool. We did experience a few problems with the pool heat but these were quickly rectified by Terry the Property Management person who also lived just round the corner. Also during our stay a brand new pool cover was fitted to help retain the pool heat in the cooler months and we noticed a difference straight away.
We will definitely be using the villa again and have no hesitation in recommending it.
Thank you Niki and Jason for such a great villa, we have stayed in other villas prior to finding yours and they do not come close to this one. For us, knowing the high standard of the villa means there is one less concern and lets us focus on having a great holiday!
Look forward to booking our next holiday with you soon.

Fantastic Villa
Our family had such a wonderful time in Florida, due in large part to our home away from home. We had a slight hiccup when we arrived, a miscommunication with the pool being heated, but Terry came over and took care of us right away. Other than that, our stay was flawless!
The house was clean, organized and quite spacious. The house came with a pool, hot tub, great patio with a view of a lovely pond and a barbecue grill (may have been an additional fee, but well worth it!). The game room was also a great time! We had a blast playing pool, Foosball and air hockey with our kids.
The location is perfect... very close and easy to commute to the theme parks, a grocery store and CVS are super close. Our youngest daughter had a fever and ear ache the second day of our vacation and we were able to get her into the CVS Minute Clinic right away for an antibiotic She was feeling better and able to enjoy her vacation in no time.
All in all, great house, wonderful patio and pool and perfect location. I would highly recommend this house to everyone.
Thank you Jason and Niki!

Brilliant time had by all!!!
174 Robin road was like our home from home, only bigger and better! The location is perfect for all of the parks, as well as the 192 and International Drive, with everything we needed for a great time.
When we arrived the pool was lovely and warm, and we actually turned it down a bit. The decor is fresh and tasteful, and the house is very well equipped, with the bluray player and the wireless being fantastic additions. (we spent every spare minute researching what was where on the I-pad)
Loads of loungers and poolside furniture made for happy lazy days by the pool and the games room, with pool table, air hockey and table football make for the perfect retreat when you need a break from the sun.
Terry from the Property Management Company was very helpful from day 1, as we're Niki and Jason when arranging our booking. The whole holiday was a pleasure from start to end. (The information folder in the house was very helpful too - thank you).
My girlfriend and I loved our stay and will definitely be looking to book up again for our next holiday. I would recommend that anybody looking for a great house to stay in whilst in Orlando, does the same!

A perfect holiday and a perfect place to stay,it was a very spacious clean and welcoming place that is very modern and well looked after.The pool was very clean and we used it every day, during our ten day stay the pool cleaner came twice.It is situated in close proximity to the theme parks, around 10/15min drive and is also very close to the supermarket and and many places to eat,Right from the off the owners jason and nikki were very helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome, We would definately recommend this holiday home to friends and relatives,and will definately make a second visit.The only down side that we found is that we wanted to stay longer as it felt like home from home.

Home from Home but better !
This was a delightful home, that help make or vacation the perfect getaway. The villa is very clean and tastefully decorated with spacious rooms. The location of the villa was also perfect for us, being only a 10 to 15 minute drive from the parks and other major attractions and shops, Davenport is a really nice upmarket area.
We had no problems with the pool the temparature was fine and we used it A LOT. The manager was great and was very helpful when we arrived as we had not been given the alarm code, only a small oversight but it was quickly rectified and we had a hassle free, relaxed holiday.
We live in Scotland and frequently holiday in Florida for the Sun and Fun, The owner Jason was wonderful right from our first enquiry, with excellent communication and couldn't have been more helpful as we booked this last minute and Jason arranged and confirmed our booking very quickly.
I would highly reccomend this villa to anyone looking for a home from home, but better......

Disappointing Stay at Xmas time 2010
We stayed at this home between Dec 19, 2010 - Jan 1, 2011. The home was very clean upon entering which was great. However, we experienced many challenges during our stay. The first night in the home, the thermometer could not be adjusted as it was locked by the owner so the temperature was a chilly 60F. This was fixed the next day but an uncomfortable first night for all of us, especially our 3 month old baby.
The other things that should be highlighted about this property are as follows:
1) had challenges with the broadband connection and a techinician had to come out twice to fix it
2) the pool heater is not strong enough to heat the pool in cooler temperatures which is also due to the fact that there is no pool blanket. Neighbours were able to use their pools (had pool blankets) We were unable to use the pool during our stay and were only able to use the spa portion on 2 occasions.
3) There is no heat on the main floor (only on 2nd floor) so in the evenings and mornings, it was really cold
4) some of the patio furniture is rusted and the legs are broken
5) the pans are old and burnt so unuseable
6) there are minimal outside lights so difficult to use the barbecue after day light
7) The phone in the kitchen did not work. Only other phone was a wall phone in upstairs bedroom so very inconvenient
8) The electrical outlets in the master bathroom do not work so if using electric shavers, haridryers, be cognizant of that challenge
9) Request owner to provide free standing powerful heaters on main floor of house if traveling outside the summer months.
10) The location is such that you have to travel on the I4 to get to the parks so if going in peak season, plan to spend a lot of time sitting on the highways - lots of traffic on I4
10/ Request that a thorough check of the home is done prior to arrival. It was evident one was not done prior to ours (e.g. heat locked at 60F) and thus we highlighted issues that should have been known and then had to have people in the house over the next 3 days trying to resolve.
We highlighted our challenges and concerns to the owner through an email no response was received. Sent a request a second time looking for a reply to our concerns but again no response.
The property manager is a real good guy (Terry) and felt bad seeing that our kids and friends kids were unable to use the pool and that we were cold in the house due to the lack of heat on the main floor of the house.
About the host
Hosted by Jason Clowrey
We have owned our Florida Pool Home for some time and it has been a source of great family memories for many years. Over the years I've had businesses that required me to work long hours and many days a week and Tranquil Rest our Orlando home allowed me to spend that all important time with the people who mean most to me in the World, my wife and 4 boys. As we have grown as a family our lives have changed and in turn our use of our home has also. All my boys are now working so we travel to the US at completely different times of the year. We have just had our first grandchild in 2017 and can't wait to be able to travel with her to Florida for the first time. Teaching her how to swim in our pool and going to Magic Kingdom for the first time and checking our the Princesses with our little Princess. We do most certainly hope that you create as many fantastic memories while staying in our home as we have over the years. I am always personally available if needed and we have a fantastic management company who can cater for all your needs
Why they chose this property
As I mentioned above I believe that our Florida Pool Home is uniquely places to offer great access to all the major theme parks and attractions while being in a quiet and relaxing neighbourhood. We continue to go back year after year enjoying all that Orlando and Florida has to offer.
