WOW!! Even the other villa owners say this about our home, If you are looking for the best go no further. This is strictly for you sun-seekers, as apart from visiting the Mouse; the sun after all is another great reason to visit Florida.
This home has a elegantly shaped 36' x 20' heated "Hollywood" Style designer-pool,with its on fibre optic light show, changing the colour of the water every 30 seconds on a huge 60’x 54’ south-facing deck, so you can soak up the sun all day, or relax in our enormous 10-person hot-tub, with your friends and family, while watching the magnificent sunset over Star Lake, cool drink in hand, after your gruelling day at Disney.
If the heat gets you, relax in the air-conditioned splendour of the villa, and the family room with its gigantic, ceiling hung Plasma T.V. screen with Bose Home Theatre surround sound, better than a cinema, whilst chilling-out under our unique amazing Chinese cooling fans.
If you have the energy how about a game of Air Hockey, Pool, or darts, or the PS-2 games console in the Bada Bing games room, and if the kids are beating you, send them upstairs, while you open up your Laptop, in our WI-FI enabled home, or you can feign an injury and get yourself a Rolling-Ball Back-rub on one of our two Robotic Massage Chairs, or why not try your luck, Fishing in our Lake with our Fishing Rods.

BookThe Florida / Orlando Disney Area region
most people when they ask about Disney and Florida, think its in orlando, but that is a big city 30 miles north of the theme parks. The Central Disney Area, is the area closest to Disney, and the closest Town is called Kissimmee, our Home in Formosa Gardens is just 10 minutes from Disney Main Gate, and 15 Minutes to all the other Attractions.
The Kissimmee / Formosa Gardens area
There are many shops not more than half a mile away in Formosa Boulevard, and over 15 restaurants to chose from, plus a supermarket, and drug store's and Disney is about 2 miles away, from our home. What's Formosa like? Well when you drive into Formosa Gardens, you will answer that question yourself, it is just so different from anything around in the Disney area, and the homes are so big and in there own grounds, it will make you smile..

From start to finish, dealing with Alan was an absolute joy. After initial email communication, Alan was very quick to pick up the phone and call me to discuss any questions I had regarding the booking process. Alan spoke very highly of his Florida home and when we arrived we weren't disappointed. The villa is simply stunning and has absolutely everything you could possibly need. Upon arrival we discovered the BBQ wasn't working so we called the management company. Within 30 minutes a very pleasant man called Pete arrived, checked the BBQ and told us he'd replace it that day. An hour later Pete returned with a brand-new BBQ which was fantastic. Our entire 2 week stay was faultless - I really can't enthuse enough about the villa. There were 11 of us (9 adults and 2 children) but the villa is so large that we really felt at home - never cramped or getting under each other's feet. The location of the villa is also ideal. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby and of course, all of the parks are very close and so easy to get to. We hope to return to Orlando within the next few years and when we do I'll definitely be in contact with Alan straight away! This villa made our stay the holiday of a lifetime!!!! Thanks Alan! Response: Thank you for your review, it certainly is worth being a Villa Owner when we have such lovely Guests staying with us. Alan |

We've just returned from this wonderful villa holiday. Absolutely fabulous place and so close to Disney. Everyone was bowled over from the moment we walked through the door - luxurious without being too starchy and off putting. Child friendly and the owners could not not have been more accommodating. Looking forward to going again and next time spending more time at the villa! |

The home is everything you would want or need in a vacation rental or a home would like to have as you own. Nice size kitchen for the entire family to help with cooking, large pool & hot tub, has a game room, a beautiful pond for fishing , 7 bdrom, 6 bathros., Large family area with large TV where all 16 of us were able to watch Macy's parade on thurs. & LSU on Fri . The other days we were at all the parks or dining out. IT was a great vacation & a beautiful house to stay in. As for as the Godfreys, from the first email I sent he made it easy to complete the rental agreem. & we thanked them so much for renting there home to us to have such a rememberable vacation with my entire family. I hope to be able to do this again soon. |
