The Florida / Orlando Disney Area
Orlando is still the No 1 destination in the world and its easy to see why people come back year after year. Walt Disney chose this spot because of the lovely climate, we enjoy warm sun all year round. There's more than you could manage to fit into two weeks with Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios plus Gatorland and all the other parks springing up all the time.
Palm Villa sits within the orange groves which make the famous Florida orange juice and is centrally located for trips to either the Space Coast with Kennedy Space Centre and world-famous Daytona Beach; or for the Gulf Coast with the delights of Clearwater, St Petes and Sarasota.
Wealthy Naples and Venice are slightly further south - about 2.5 hours drive and the fabulous Florida Keys are well worth a visit too.
Haines City / Southern Dunes area
Palm Villa is located within Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club, south of Orlando but within close proximity to Disney. Its also great to be out of the madness of Orlando and come home to somewhere peaceful and pretty.
Its an easy route for either Orlando airport and we'll send you simple directions with your Welcome Letter. We also provide Sat Nav for your use throughout your stay - just another thoughtful touch to make sure you have a fantastic time.
There's a huge Walmart just by the entrance to Dunes for all your family's needs, plus local shops and a medical centre 2 mins from our villa should you need some help. Local dining is easy with all the major chains close at hand plus our best find yet - Manny's Chop House. Opens 4pm daily for FANTASTIC food, packed with local people for a real flavour of the USA. Great value, Happy Hour from 4 to 7pm and wonderful service. 5 mins drive south on US27, look out on your right and think of us while you're enjoying the food!
How to get there
Palm Villa is ideally located, on an award-winning gated golf community, 15 miles from the main gates of Disney and an easy drive (40 mins) from Orlando International Airport. We will send you full directions with your Welcome Letter and we have provided a Tom Tom sat nav for your convenience to use during your stay.
Lots of cheap flights to be found, especially if you book well ahead and car hire couldn't be easier. All the major rental firms have desks just by the baggage hall at the airport and can be booked online in advance.

Guestbook for Palm Villa
We had an absolutely brilliant time. The Villa was amazing and was in a perfect little spot to be able to do all the things we wanted to do. The Sat nav was an absolute god send for that as well. Thanks again for everything, you really helped us have a great time and we'll definitely be recommending the villa to friends and family.
Mark and friends, Hastings, UK.
Just a quick line to say how much we enjoyed staying at your spacious Villa in Florida. It is superbly located for the theme parks and other attractions and was presented lovely and clean on our arrival.(the directions you provided made it easy to find) We made great use of the pool and everything we needed for a perfect holiday was there. We would not hesitate to book it again and will be recommending it to family and friends. Many thanks again, Graham and Joe, Plymstock
Just a few lines to say what a great time we had staying at Palm Villa. From the moment of contacting you, everything went so smoothly, that we would definitely consider returning in the future. Booking was simple, communication was great, details and directions to Palm Villa were accurate and straightforward and the support from the mgmt co was both efficient and reassuring. Along with the expected comfortable rooms and furnishings, the Villa has many of the things that are needed for an enjoyable stay in the Orlando area, especially the Golf facilities on site, the well maintained pool and the games room for the kids. Thank you, Joe & Eileen Clayton October 2008
Dear Kate, With regards to feedback, the villa was exactly as you described it in your advert. I was particularly impressed with the thoughtful extras - welcome pack, plug adapters etc. Also it was a bonus to have new towels and bed linen. Kath and friends, Hampshire
We have just arrived home from a wonderful holiday in Florida ! The Villa was fantastic and catered for our every need. The rooms are very spacious and it was lovely to have towels and beach towels on hand!
We all had a great time in Walt Disney World and Seaworld and found some excellent places to eat, and have left brochures/menus for the next people to stay as the food was so good! The pool was great and our daughter learned to swim which was fantastic. We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to return soon. The men played golf at Southern Dunes and thought the course was amazing.
We liked it so much we are looking into purchasing our own holiday home at Southern Dunes. Claire and family, Newport
Your Villa is a lovely property set in a very restful location. I was impressed with all the child accessories you had there (having a small child myself) the high chair and equipment like that are a real boon when renting property.
The internet is a real gem and one of the features I was looking for when booking as it allowed me to keep in contact with work. However even with teenagers and their laptops, it will allow them to keep in contact with their friends, should they have any downtime.
I look forward to a successful inspection and would have no hesitation recommending your property. I just hope I can return there again next year.
Trevor, businessman from Hampshire
Just wanted to say how fantastic we thought the villa was. Southern Dunes was nice and peaceful and a welcome retreat from Disney. The villa itself was perfect for us, and the little touches really made a difference. The Sat Nav system was excellent, and it certainly saved a few arguments (pity we didn't have it trying to get out of the car rental lot in Miami. We got a bit lost and ended up in a rather dodgy looking part of town...I was convinced we were going to get shot!!!) The wi-fi really helped, especially with the poor weather, it meant we could plan in advance and make the most out of our day. We even used it to Skype the grandparents. I, like you love my coffee, so the coffee machine really got a big thumbs up, nothing better than having it ready freshly brewed for our 6am wake up call from the kids.
The villa was spotless when we arrived, and really felt homely, the modern presentation was spot on for us...We're not big fans of the 80's Chintz that seems to run wild in some of the other villas we looked at!!! The kids loved the pool and the games room, although I am a bit disappointed, at 5 and 3 the girls didn't really turn into the pool demons I thought they would.
So all in all a wonderful holiday, spent in top quality accommodation, we would certainly recommend Palm Villa to friends and family, and when I can save the £15,000 for 4 upper class return tickets, we will go back, and would have no hesitation in staying in the same place again.
