My family and I have stayed in this home three consecutive years and will continue to stay there anytime that we vacation in Orlando, Florida. The home was so clean and beautiful. The landlord & caretakers were fabulous. Our every need was met. this home was located close to shopping, attractions & restaurants. We feel safe when we stay at this villa. We are already planning another trip next year and will be staying at Joy Villa again. This home is perfect. |

The Villa was absolutely spotlessly clean with fresh towels and laid out in such a manner that made you feel like the place was your own. There is plenty of space and the kitchen was well stocked with utilities. The washing machine and tumble dryer were both in fantastic condition and easy to use and infact any item that needed instructions was well catered for. All of the facilities were exactly as described and the pool made for hours of fun after long Disney Days for all of us (especially the kids!) The pool was cleaned on a weekly basis and was done with consideration in mind during our stay. The pack that you sent prior to our arrival made for a seamless transition. All of the main attractions are within 10-15 mins of the villa and therefore a car is recommended but not strictly neccesary. A 3 minute drive from the villa and you have the use of a large supermaket which was very well stocked, a phamacy, fuel garage,haridressers, McDonalds and various other takeaway options. A further 2-3 mins and you reach Champions Gate which will cater for your every need. All in all this was by far the best villa that we have stayed in and the people that own and run it were extremely helpful with everything that we asked. Thanks |

Coilin Newport, South Wales March 2011
Having visited this area several times, on each occasion staying in villas at various locations, Joy Villa, came out as one of the very best. It was spotlessly clean, well furnished, well maintained with all you need to have an enjoyable vacation. The two en suite master bedrooms were fantastic as were the two twin rooms.
The kitchen was well appointed with cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils etc - everything you may need to self cater if you so desire. My wife and I however, chose to dine out in the many restaurants located near by.
The villa itself is on a residential site, regularly patrolled by it's own Security guards which is a comforting factor - not that there was a security problem - just nice to see the deterrent factor to any unwanted visitors.
Ideally suited near to Champions Gate and the I4 freeway which will take you West to Tampa and the Gulf Coast or East to the Atlantic and Kennedy Space Centre. Disney and all the other attractions are ten to fifteen minutes away. After a hectic day at the theme parks how nice to return to the villa and take a dip in the private screened pool.
I personally found the owner a joy to deal with - she took excellent care of us prior to the vacation, during the vacation and after the vacation. Her management company were first class and in the unlikely event you need to contact them, there is a free phone number you can call from the villa. (All local calls are free also). An excellent broadband wifi connection is included in the villa. My party and I found the villa extremely welcoming, relaxing and we very quickly felt at home there.
The pool has a safety barrier to ensure the well being of small children. There is a games room in the garage which all ages will find entertaining. The private driveway can easily accommodate two vehicles.
There are a number of shops, including Publix, a short drive away.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful home to my family, friends or indeed anyone and when I return to the area, I will be booking this villa again and again.
NURIA ESPAÑA December 2010
La casa es tal cual la describen,muy cerca de Disney y muy comoda la atencion y la comunicacion excelente.Es muy tranquila muy bien equipada y con una decoracion de bienvenida con muchos detalles.La recomiendo 100%.
Kevin Ireland June 2010
My family and I just returned from a month in Joy Villa and enjoyed every minute of it. It's located just 10 mins (by car) from Disney and 2 mins from local shops and supermarkets. It's also 2 mins from the I-4 highway which can bring you pretty much everywhere you would want to go in Orlando and even to either coast of Florida. You will need a car if you are staying here though. Taxis would be expensive if used on a regular basis to the main tourist areas.
The neighbourhood is very quiet and safe, with private security patrolling the area and CCTV at entry points. The villa itself is very well maintained and feels like new. The pool is cleaned professionally every week. Everything works as it should (dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, etc) and there are lots of pool toys provided for the kids. The games room in the garage is a nice distraction for both adults and kids too.
I would really recommend this villa based on cleanliness, location, family friendliness, proximity to parks and price. The owner is also very pleasant and easy to deal with it. I will be returning again in the future.
SCN Charlottetown, PE Canada March 2010
Our family recently enjoyed a wonderful vacation in Florida. Our stay at Joy Villa helped to make this a memborable time. I found that Julie was most helpful and effecient throughout the entire process. Joy Villa provided outstanding accomodations at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend it to you.
Quibes Bath, UK December 2009
Clean, tidy, big, beautiful and flawless. Very quick route to Disney/Orlando and close to some 'local' towns with good restaurants.
Julie, the owner, was a delight to deal with. We will be back!
T and family Worthing, West Sussex, UK August 2009
We had a fantastic holiday. The villa was clean and spacious and provided us with everything that we needed. The local area is lovely with a good selection of shops a short drive away. Overall location was excellent and it was nice to come home from a day at the parks to such a lovely villa. We would recommend it to our friends.
dave & sandra newbridge co kildare Ireland July 2009

Airdoc Erie, Pennsylvania June 2009
We stayed at JOY villa in June 2009. We found the property to be exactly as advertised. The local management company is doing a wonderful job of taking care of the home and the home is CLEAN. After staying at another vacation home in the Orlando area I can't stress that fact enough. There were no bugs in the home the entire time we were there, not an easy thing to accomplish given the fact that is is FLORIDA. The A/C worked very well and there was plentiful hot water for up to 4 showers taken at roughly the same time; we never ran out. Julie couldn't have been any more attentive to our needs while we were there. We e-mailed her with a request and in just a couple of hours her local rep showed up at the door with the items. Correspondence was timely and all descriptions of the house were factual. Driving time to the Disneyworld theme parks was approximately 15 minutes and it was an easy drive. Also there was access to RT 192 from the villa via Old Lake Wilson Road. Gas station, grocery store and pizza shops were a couple of miles from the villa.
Our family has visited DisneyWorld 4 times over the past 10 years. We have stayed on-site at a Disney resort, stayed at Disney's Wilderness Lodge in a RV, and stayed at 2 privately owned residences. This villa was by far our most pleasant stay.
Having an entire home for far less than the cost of a room at Disney is wonderful. If you figure out your time and expense of staying at the JOY villa versus staying on-site at Disney you will be amazed at the difference and the convenience of a home and a private pool is wonderful. We highly recommend JOY villa to our family and friends and would happily stay again.

The most perfect Vacation Home
Brenda & Corey Stephenville, Newfoundland, Canada May 2009
In May, my family and I spend 2 wonderful weeks in Orlando, Florida. We stayed at this beautiful home in Sandy Ridge. It was a 2 storey home with a pool. The home was so clean and the decor was delightful. The property was well maintained. The landlord, Julie, was wonderful to deal with. We are planning to return to Orlando in 2010 and I hope to rent this home again. I absolutely loved it there. Note: Attractions are approx 10 minute drive away and in the area there are restaurants & stores just around the corner. Also in the area is a JC penney, Target, Ross and many other stores.
You will enjoy this beautiful home and the excellent services they offer.
Brenda & Corey, May, 2009
I love this home - My family and I stayed in this home for 2 weeks in May ,2009 and another 2 weeks in April, 2010. This home is located at Sandy Ridge and it will always be my first choice when I vacation in Florida. The decor in this home is beautilful & it is so clean... Just 10 minutes away from disney attractions, & shopping & restaurants are just around the corner. This place is the absolute best. The landlady is fabulous... We want for nothing more... the place is perfect. I recommend it to everyone. "

Susan & family December 2008
Staying at JOY Villa has now made it very difficult to stay anywhere else in Florida...a fantastic place, relaxing and ideal for everyone. It was quicker to get to Disney than staying on I-Drive!"
