About the host

Hosted by Pat Richardson

Host profile image

My Husband and I live in Yorkshire, England. We bought our first home in 2014, since then we have increased our portfolio and we now own 5 homes on various communities - Solterra, Highlands Reserve, Emerald Island, Formosa Gardens. We have a wonderful management company, local to all the homes, who looks after our homes and our guests during their stay. We offer luxury villas and a personalised guest experience. You will be dealing with me during your booking process, before, during and after your stay. Our property manager will be there to assist you with any issues and can offer services such as grocery packs and celebration packs for your stay. All homes are located in the Disney bubble - between 10 and 25 minutes from Disney, depending on location.

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!
