About this property
Lakeview Retreat: elite 5★ villa -large pool, spa, game room, near parks & golf
Luxury • Space • Serenity • Minutes from Disney -
Lakeview Retreat sits within the exclusive, gated Formosa Gardens Estates—an upscale community perfectly positioned near world‑class theme parks, boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and championship golf. This elegant 6‑bedroom, 5‑bathroom villa accommodates up to 12 guests and offers 3,700 sq. ft. of beautifully designed living space.
A Stunning Lakeside Oasis
The showpiece of the home is the spectacular private pool area. Overlooking the tranquil lake, the 38‑ft pool, inground spa, and separate kiddie pool sit on an expansive 60‑ft deck—ideal for sun‑soaked days and unforgettable sunsets. The covered lanai features comfortable seating, alfresco dining, cooling fans, and an outdoor TV, creating the perfect setting for outdoor living. A large gas BBQ grill is included for relaxed lakeside cookouts.
The fenced garden offers even more space to unwind, complete with an outdoor ping‑pong table and shady spots beneath the trees. Fishing in the lake is permitted, adding a peaceful pastime for guests.
Stylish Interiors Designed for Comfort
As you enter the villa, your eyes are immediately drawn to the shimmering lake views beyond the pool.
To the left, a bright second sitting room offers a quiet retreat for morning coffee, reading, or watching TV.
To the right, the formal dining room leads to the open kitchen and breakfast nook.
The spacious main family room features high ceilings, abundant natural light, and two sets of doors opening directly to the pool area.
The fully equipped kitchen includes a gas stove, large fridge with ice and water dispenser, dishwasher, ample cookware (including unbreakable outdoor pieces), and both filter and pod coffee options—everything you need for family meals or holiday feasts.
Entertainment for All Ages
The fully air‑conditioned game room is a guest favourite, offering:
Pool table
Foosball

🌴 Florida Dream Vacations – Your Perfect Getaway Awaits
Welcome to your next unforgettable escape! At FloridaDreamVacationsOrlando, we’re thrilled to offer this beautiful home for your upcoming holiday. Whether you're planning a magical family adventure or a relaxing retreat, our properties are designed to make your stay truly special.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property for the upscale community, its location so close to the parks and restaurants and shops, and for the space inside and around our home. Unlike so many of the newer developments the homes on Formosa Gardens are set in spacious garden lots and allow for room and privacy from neighbouring properties.
Of course, the view and the Lake is another reason for our choice and the large pool area, so important to enjoy outside living. The property needed updating, but thats the part we enjoy - we furnish and decorate our homes ourselves to that we can chose just the right decor and standard of furnishings we hope our guests will love as much as we do.

What makes this property unique
The pool and outside space it a great advantage to our home, we have been able to create a large fenced outside area for play or to dine alfresco using the BBQ/Grill in the cook out dining area. - not many homes can accommodate this! Florida is all about the outdoors and our 38 foot pool with spa and also a separate kiddi pool is fabulous and the palm trees under the cage make for a truly tropical experience. An added bonus is that at the right time of year, normally October onwards, you can pick an orange from our own tree! - electric juicer available in a the kitchen make your breakfast juice!
