Further details indoors:
Being near the lake is a beautiful place to be located and the sunsets sitting on the pool deck are wonderful.
The Villa is away from the older more populated areas of Orlando & Kissimmee where there is much more traffic. Somewhere easy to find was important with good road access to all of the amenities of Orlando.
Highway 27 (2 minutes) leads straight to the I4 (Interstate 4), 10 minutes, the main route through Orlando.
The community is private & quiet, a great place to relax after a long day in the theme parks.
Being right next door to a golf course was important (Southern Dunes) but there are so many excellent courses near by, over 140 & all reached very easily.
Further details outdoors:
A privacy screen has recently been fitted to increase the pool area privacy - see picture.
The pool also features swim jets that allows swimming into the jet of water and is excellent exercise if you can master it.
With Children and safety in mind the pool is to the latest safety standards, there is a saftey fence (removable) to prevent access for children. The 3 doors leading to the patio area are alarmed preventing children accessing the area without parents knowing.
The heated spa can seat 4 adults and provides a feature waterfall into the pool.
Pool furniture has been upgraded for greater luxury and comfort.
There is ample parking at the front for 3/4 cars.

Guestbook for Calabay Lodge at Tower Lake
Had a fantastic stay, your villa was fab, very well equipped, great location for access to the parks – without being in the congested areas. Found some fantastic restaurants nearby by such as, Manny’s Chop House, Outback, Applebee’s, I-hop, Carrabbas (Vineland).
Danny was great – very helpful and on hand for anything anytime – Thanks Danny.
Thanks for making our 1st trip visit to Florida comfortable, safe and great fun.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing your villa with us. We all loved the pool and the spa and spent lots of time in them. The foosball table, dart board and air hockey were also a big hit, although it gets quite hot out there during the day. Didn't use the pool table as much as we have one of those at home. We had some great walks down to the dock and loved the gators in the lake! One was nice enough to come out for us on more than one occasion, so both of my daughters got to see him first-hand!
Danny and Kimberli are the best! They really made us feel welcome and also took care of any issues that we came across. Danny even cooked up some BBQ ribs for us with some BBQ slaw! (That was their plate that I also left up on the bar next to the watch we found - figured that would get it back to them that way). That's what I call above and beyond the call of duty. Danny also worked very hard at getting the little glitches in the pool (spa heat & swim jet) straightened out during the first part of our visit. So definitely "kudos" to them for being great ambassadors and managers for you.

Our family enjoyed our stay at your home. Your new home managers are nice and Danny brought us a tree to put up a few days before Christmas. It helped as it seemed very strange for us to be celebrating Christmas without snow. The weather was about 80 each day which was very comfortable. We look forward to renting again in the future.

I just wanted you to know what a good trip we had and that your wonderful house was a big part of it. I never would have expected to have something this upscale for less cost than a little hotel room. The neighbourhood, the lake and the area were ideal. It was easy to get anywhere we wanted to go and was like coming "home" every evening. Your furnishings and layout were great. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and game room and spent hours enjoying them. The caretakers stopped by as soon as we got there and although we never needed them it was nice to know they were right close by. We will certainly be hoping your home is available whenever we return to the area. Thanks again for making the reservation process and stay so easy. It was the best lodging value I have ever enjoyed.

Good location in a new, quiet, gated community, a spacious well kept home with all the 'comforts' supplied including its own pool (with swim-jet!) and even a hot-tub. The villa is ideally based for amenities (a Wallmart and a chemist, eateries etc) are just 5mins up the road, Disney is only 15mins and Busch Gdns about 40mins and the rest of Florida starts at your front door!
