About the home

This immaculate 4 bedroom, 3 bath, family vacation villa is ideally situated only 3 miles from Disney World! The villa overlooks a tranquil lake, a home to herons and other wildlife all year round, and from here it's a short journey to all the major attractions in and around Orlando.

The property has four bedrooms and sleeps up to ten guests in full air-conditioned comfort. The two master bedroom suites are both en-suite. Bring your laptop with you, and you'll be able to use the villa's Wireless High Speed Internet connection to stay in touch! This villa also boasts a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable lounge, and cable TV & DVD in every bedroom - as well as PS2 and Xbox consoles (games supplied).

Moving outside into the Florida sunshine, you can cook dinner on the gas BBQ grill, dine "al fresco" by the pool, and enjoy the view - including the nightly fireworks at Epcot, visible over the surrounding rooftops! The large, screened pool deck behind the villa overlooks a tranquil lake, visited by a variety of local wildlife, and has its own private, heated swimming pool and spa, luxury patio furniture, and a spacious shady lanai.

For comfort and convenience, look no further - our villa is the perfect base for your Florida vacation!

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The first of the two master bedroom suites is situated directly off the villa's lounge, and is equipped with a king-sized bed (with a medium-firm pillow-top mattress), cable TV, DVD player, radio alarm clock, a large walk-in closet, and a ceiling fan. There is an electronic safe, where you can store your money, valuables and documents securely. This master has a large en-suite bathroom with a garden bath, separate walk-in shower, toilet and twin sinks. An alarmed patio door offers direct access from this bedroom to the pool and spa area.

The second master bedroom suite is located off the entrance foyer at the front of the villa. It is equipped with a queen-sized bed (with a firm mattress), cable TV and DVD player, radio alarm clock, and a ceiling fan. Like the other master suite, it too has its own en-suite bathroom, which includes a garden bath with integral shower, toilet, a single basin sink, and plenty of hanging and storage space.

Bedrooms 3 & 4 are situated off the lounge, and each room features comfortable twin beds, a ceiling fan, a radio alarm clock, wardrobe and storage space. These two bedrooms share a full bathroom, which is located directly between the two rooms, with a bath including shower, toilet and single basin sink. A further two guests can be accommodated in the lounge, where one sofa converts to a queen sleeper.

The lounge, with its high cathedral ceiling, is perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring the parks. For your entertainment there is a large cable TV, CD/DVD player, VCR and stereo radio, plus PS2 and Xbox consoles with a selection of fun games for kids and adults alike!

A washing machine and dryer, iron and ironing board are also provided - you'll find all of these in the separate laundry room, located off the kitchen, and which also provides direct access to the villa's integral 2-car garage.
For the safety of our guests, the villa is equipped with smoke alarms, a fire extinguisher, and emergency lighting.
It is inspected annually, and fully complies with Florida State lodging safety regulations.

Further details outdoors:
A patio door provides direct access from the lounge to the deck and pool, and there is a great view through the two rear windows! The rear of the property faces west-south-west, and overlooks a beautiful natural lake, which is home to many birds and other wildlife, and across which you can watch the sunset at the end of the day.

The screened pool area has the sun from before 11am until sunset, so you can enjoy direct sun for most of the day. Pool furniture on the deck includes table, loungers and chairs. Both patio doors leading out to the pool are fitted with safety alarms to prevent children from entering the pool area unnoticed. The spa and pool can be heated if required, and are equipped with an underwater light, providing illumination for your use in the evening. There's even a gas barbecue, perfect for dining al fresco and enjoying the view on a balmy Florida evening. After a tiring day at the theme parks, relax in the spa, dine on the patio, and enjoy the wonderful lake view!

The Florida / Orlando Disney Area region

With its fun atmosphere, ideal sunny climate and world-famous theme parks, the Orlando area of Florida deserves its status as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States.

In terms of fun things to do, you'll be spoilt for choice here in Orlando. The villa is perfectly located for all of the famous theme parks including Disney's Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Universal Studios and Sea World. All of these are world-famous attractions and fun for all the family.

Further afield, there are plenty of other attractions if you fancy a day or two away from the parks. If space exploration is your thing. then you simply have to visit the Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral. For sun, sand and sea, meanwhile, Florida's Atlantic Coast beaches are about 1 hour away to the east, along the Bee Line Expressway. The beaches of the Gulf Coast are a bit further, around 2 hours away in the other direction, west along Interstate 4.

The Kissimmee / Rolling Hills at Formosa area

We just can't say it enough: our villa is the closest you can stay to Disney and the other Orlando theme parks. It's so close, you can pop back home for a siesta or a dip in the pool in the early afternoon, the hottest part of the day, and watch the nightly fireworks show at Epcot from the comfort of your own back yard!

There are also plenty of dining and shopping opportunities close at hand. For stocking up on basic goods and for self--catering, Formosa Gardens Shopping Plaza is only 2 minutes away by car. However, if you don't feel like cooking every night or you want to check out some American specialities, there are lots of great places to eat in the vicinity, including TGI Fridays, Outback, Red Lobster, and Italian, Chinese and Japanese restaurants. We personally recommend "Uno Chicago Grill", which is a bit further away - about 5 miles east along Hwy 192, for great value Italian-American food!

Evening family fun is also close at hand (eg, Downtown Disney, Medieval Times), and the lively night life of downtown Orlando is a short hop along I-4 - or spend the night in, dine by the pool, then relax in the spa, or in front of the TV!

There are many different ways to fly to Orlando. The most convenient is to fly to the main airport, Orlando International (MCO) on a major airline. This major international airport is located just 25 minutes' drive from the property, and is served by major airlines such as BA, Delta, American Airlines and Virgin Atlantic.

A tip to help you save money: the fares charged for direct flights to Orlando can be quite high in peak season, so as an alternative you might consider flying from London Gatwick with US Airways via Charlotte/Philadelphia, or with Delta via Atlanta, or fly AA/BA/Virgin from London Heathrow or Manchester to New York, and then with JetBlue/Airtran/Continental from New York to Orlando.

Several rental car companies operate out of Orlando International Airport and Sanford International Airport. If you're looking for a major Car Rental company, with a convenient on-airport location, years of experience has taught us that you can't do much better than Avis - if you book using the Avis UK web site, they will quote a highly competitive price inclusive of all the insurances and taxes necessary for worry-free driving in the USA.

"We had a great time over there. Thanks for the good facilities in your villa. I will strongly recommend your villa to my friends next time."
(J K Eom, 9 - 15 December 2006)

"The information pack you sent was great, the driving instructions were so easy to follow. The villa itself was superb, everything you could possibly want, and the location, Wow can you get any nearer to Disney. It was so much better than the villa we rented last year which was miles along highway 27. Thanks again Matt for contributing in making our holiday one of the best ever."
(A. Parks, 1 - 15 July 2006)

"Matt, your home is beautiful. When we return to FL in a couple of years I would love to rent from you again. I will keep your information handy."
(T. Dumas, 23 June - 1 July 2006)

"We had a great time in Orlando and the villa was superb. It had all we needed and more. We could get to all the theme parks very easily. All the extras were very much appreciated and everything went well. The 'girl' in the Management Office was very helpful and directed me to a great camera warehouse type store for me to purchase a new camera. The information pack was very useful and the directions from Sanford were spot on."
(A. Reay, 21 - 28 May 2006)

"Had a lovely time, it was nice being in an area where we had stayed before as we knew where to go and what to do. The villa was great, we spent forever in the pool and the jacuzzi, the water was very warm which was wonderful as we had a couple of cold days. The booklet you sent before the holiday was very good, the instructions from International Airport were spot on and although we had flown to that airport once before it put our minds at rest that we knew we were on the right road. Thanks for letting us stay at your holiday home we had a really wonderful time."
(M. Bellotti, 16 - 31 March 2006)
