About the home

The Villa is clean modern and furnished to a very high standard to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. The Villa is in a lovely position and is well looked after.
It is situated in a quiet position surrounded by conservation area on the Security Gated Cumbrian Lakes development. It is only 10-15 minutes drive to the main entrance of Walt Disney World, & yet it is also within easy reach of the beautiful Gold Coast (Cocoa Beach) and the Gulf Coast (Clearwater) if you need a break from the fun of the Theme parks. The closest beach is about a 45 minute drive if you want to top up your tan or do some boogie boarding.
The Guest Book is full of compliments regarding the comfort and luxury of the Villa, and also the excellent equipment and facilites. The mangement company is on hand 24/7 and is only situated a mile up the road, so can easily assist with any matter if required.
There are 5 full bedrooms and a 'Den' area with a a sofa bed and the Villa will accommodate 12 guests comfortably. There is also a cot + linen, high chair, & buggy for any tiny guests.

Wireless Broadband is available for your complimentary use should you wish to bring your own Laptop, Ipad, or Blackberry

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The decor is plain yet refined, and the furnishings have all been co-ordinated to match making the appearance of the home inviting and and luxurious. There is plenty of room for two families to share the Villa. The Pool and the Spa can be heated, and there is plenty of pool deck furniture for all guests to enjoy.

Further details outdoors:
The Villa is built on a larger than normal plot, but is certainly not isolated, as there are neighbours both sides. The garden is kept neat and tidy and is stocked with sub tropical foliage. Overlooking the lake in the rear garden are Palm trees and a stone bench seating area to watch the lake wildlife. To the front of the property there is a double garage to securely park 2 vehicles , and room on the block paved driveway for 2 more.

The Florida / Orlando Disney Area region

Florida is well known for the best Theme Parks in the world, and yet there is so much more to do and see, the trouble is you need a long break to do it all.
We have visited Florida since 1990 and every year there is something different to do beyond the fun of the theme parks. There is culture in the Theatres, Sports at the various arenas, Wildlife to see in the headlands of the Everglades, and relaxing activities like horseriding, or adventurous activities, like helicopter flights or swimming with Manatees. Of course there are many great Restaurants from the well known Fast food chains to many lovely 'Fine Dining' places.
Public Golf courses near by within the Kissimmee area include:
Celebration - 001 407 566 4653
Boggy Creek - 001 407 857 0280

The Kissimmee / Cumbrian Lakes area

Kissimmee has a lot of heritage and goes back a long way before all the luxury villas were built. There is a historic downtown district with an old railroad, craft shops, lakeside walks, Parks, and a Rodeo.

“Bliss...this villa is outstanding! Homely and yet still 'a holiday'...” We have been lucky enough to visit Kissimmee 6 times now...we have also been extremely lucky in securing 'Brusons Retreat' 4 times ( the other 2 occasions it was unfortunately booked)...each year of visiting..this villa just gets better and better and in a way...staying at 2 other villas within Cumbrian Lakes on previous occasions...only highlighted this villas superiority. Where possible we would safely say that we would stay nowhere else now. It is clean, so fully equipped that it almost puts my own home to shame, spacious and with the touches of home around you it makes you feel welcomed without anyone being there. Our trips from the first email enquiry to leaving the villa on our last day have always been the smoothest of processes and we have had the pleasure of dealing with both the owners and their management team.... We cannot recommend this villa enough...it is perfect for a family holiday such as ours but even more so for bigger parties as we did with extended family over the Xmas period a few years back...it was absolutely fantastic. We will be back....to kissimmee...and more importantly to Brusons Retreat.

“Good Location, terrible service” Location of this property is excellent and the house itself is very nice. However, there were several things which made the stay less than I had hoped and and since returning, a nightmare. Firstly, the house is lovely, but full of family photos and trinkets everywhere and whilst this may be ok for some, it made me feel like I was intruding in someone's home, rather than a paid for house. Secondly, I paid to have the pool heated and it was not what I would call heated. We did contact the management company and they promptly came and checked it whilst we were out the next day. A note was left on the door to say that it was set at 5 degrees higher than normal. It was still barley warm and we were unable to use the pool or spa for more than a few minutes as it was too cold. it states that there is wi-fi but unless you stand on one leg, facing south from the roof, you will struggle to get this and as my partner was there for work, this caused problems. The biggest issue however was that they send out the keys in the post prior to you arriving (a practice which I have never encountered in all my stays in holiday homes). This was unnecessary as keys were in the lock box at the property anyway. Upon returning home I then had to drive to the post office and pay for an 'extra large' stamp to return the keys via the post. This I duly did, only to find a week later and several emails, that it had been lost in the post and I was told that I would have to pay £15 from the deposit. So, I paid for a pool I couldn't use and paid for petrol, an envelop and stamp to post back keys which were not needed and then told that I could not have all my deposit back either. I visit Florida frequently and I will not be returning and I would not recommend this property. Response: Thank you for your comments regarding the good location of Brusons Retreat Villa. We are disappointed that you describe your experience as "Terrible Service" and raise the following items: We do have some Family photos in the Villa, as this too is our Holiday Home which we choose to share with other guests. I understand it may be off putting to some but to others it creates a feeling of homeliness and a less clinical feel than perhaps other rental properties might. We have also tried to tastefully accessorise the decor, which we do not believe to be classed as "Trinkets". I appreciate that if one of the main reasons for your trip was Business related then perhaps a hotel instead a home such as ours would be better suited to you. The Wi-Fi service in the local vicinity is adequate but certainly not as robust as some of the UK broadband or fibre optic services. The signal can be difficult to pick up outside on the pool deck (which isn't a bad thing) but elsewhere in the property normally gives no problems and would certainly not require a specific compass point direction or an arabesque type position. The pool is always heated to a constant 85 degrees, which the majority of rental villa pools will be set at, we are sorry this felt too cold for you and your husband, especially as when our management company increased the temperature it did not meet your expectations. The Villa keys are sent out to guests prior to their arrival as it often helps when arriving at night (as Transatlantic passengers can do), although this wasn't your preferred method, other guests prefer it to the lockbox and pin method, particularly those travelling to Florida for the first time with a lot of new experiences to overcome before they arrive at the Villa. Regrettably, you are not as positive about our Villa as others guests have been and therefore will choose to stay elsewhere in the future.
