we have just come back and the holiday was to celebrate our 45th anniversay,and take our daughter and 2 grandchildren aged 6 & 10yrs to Disney. We arrived late and it was a bonus that the lights were on in the porch and the 24hr Wal-mart just up the road for esssentials. Villa is very comfortable and very clean. Management company were available for any problems. Situation unbeatable. We ate at the Ponderosa (children ate free with adult diners) had a spectacular day at Discovery Cove and Kennedy Space Center - talked to an astronaut. Also did the Disney parks which are an easy drive of about 30-40mins. A memorable holiday with a comfortable villa refuge! |

Have stayed at this villa for the last 2 years and heading there again in Novermber for our eagerly awaited third trip. Have been to Florida 25 times over the years and have stayed in villas on many different estates. Although some of them have been very luxurious, they dont tick as many of our boxes as this one. It is within walking distance of the entry of Southern Dunes, allowing you to walk to Wal Mart and the many fast food outlets that are right on your doorstep. The villa itself is fantastic. There are 4 bedrooms, two of which are ensuite and there is an additional bathroom next to the two twin bedrooms. There is a large well equipped kitchen with every gadget and utensil you are ever likely to need at home let alone on holiday. There is a dining/sitting room and a further sitting room with tv and dvd. The pool overlooks the lake and has the sun from morning to night. There is a large garage with washer drier iron and ironing board. The owner and the management company are very friendly and helpful.......we would not even consider using anyone else now. |

The villa is in a perfect location - not too far from any of the parks, or shopping malls, and within walking distance of a large Walmart (for the essentials). The pool, and pool area was great for a relaxing day away from the parks, and the villa itself had all that anyone could need to make it feel like a home from home. There is also the clubhouse that could be reached on foot where meals could be had at various times of the day. We had such a good time there that we have booked to go back again in 2012. The booking for both occassions was handled promptly and with minimum fuss - even when we had to change our date there was no hassle in getting the change processed. I have no hesitation in recommending the villa to anyone visiting the area, and have already given the details to friends and relations. |
Guestbook for Southern Dunes Villa
Well the villa was fantastic - very spacious and clean, with all necessary facilities catered for. Easy to find on Southern Dunes with great peace of mind with it being a gated community. And so close to the shops.(on reflection I don't know if that was a good thing, being married to a shopoholic!)
My only problem, that took a couple of days to come to terms with, was the sloping drive - not being used to automatic vehicles the park and foot brakes always took up a lot of slack when I turned the car off - the garaged doors loomed nearer than I would have liked! Would have been great to have been able to put the car in the garage at night. Minor problem.
We would love to use the villa again and would certainly receommend it as it made a welcome retreat after driving to theme parks and shopping malls all day.
Thnaks again
Mr S. A.

Mr A.P.
We had a fantastic honeymoon over in America, beginning with a fantastic 10 days at your villa! It really was a great place - so big! The pool was fantastic too. Such a lovely peaceful location after a busy day at the theme parks. Thank you all again for letting us stay there at such a good rate. We do have some pictures.
Mrs L.C
Florida was fantastic just as we expected. The villa was brilliant.....we just cant see past it.... the estate, the location of your villa, having the sun at the pool all day, it certainly ticks all our boxes.
Thinking now about next year...will be back to you in the coming weeks to check availability.
