About

My wife and I have been going to Florida since 1993 and then in 2002 we bought our property in Vista Del Lago. We fell in love with the community, the facilities offered and the friendly people there. Since 2008 we have spent long periods of the summer there every year and each time make improvements to our property as it is our home from home. We have a very efficient caretaker who lives just down the street, if something goes wrong during your stay, and an excellent cleaner who does a wonderful job in keeping the house in top condition. We are confident that anyone staying in our property will not be disappointed.

We had a fortnight here with 4 adults and 2 small kids. The property has everything required for the stay with local amenities catering for everything else. Great location and price. Only complaint - the back door lock is poor. It's a twist handle with a lock built-in AND a slide bolt installed above, akin to one you would use on a bathroom door. Didn't appreciate the poor security I felt it provided but that is my personal opinion being used to deadbolt doors in the UK rather than the more basic used in the US. Not to detract from the rest of the property which was great 👍.

Thank you for your review and the comment about the back door. That's how the doors are on these properties and having rented our property out for 22 years this is the first comment we have had about it. I will look at it again when we are out there next but the doors do not lend themselves to any other type of lock due to their construction.

I’d been given excellent instructions and followed them , we arrived easily and our enjoyed a fantastic time! Villa is so spacious and has everything you could ever need, and I mean better equipped than my own home! The facilities on site are brilliant if you don’t fancy parks you can easily fill time with the pools gym games room lake walks games dvds and music. I could have stayed there for the rest of my life I actually didn’t want to leave. I’ve already been in touch about our next stay! I’ve stayed in many villas but the value for money exceeds anything I’ve ever experienced and makes your return to usa much for frequent for the lovers of American holidays u cannot wait to get back . Thanks to Paul and Carol for sharing you wonderful home !!!!

The location was lovely. Safe, closed off area with lots of nice homes and people. The house was spacious and felt very homely. Perfect place to stay I can’t really think of many of any downsides, other than the Wi-Fi being very slow. Would highly recommend and you won’t find better for the price.

Hi Morgan, thank you for the review. I think there was a general problem on site with the Wi-Fi during your stay looking on Facebook, generally its very good.

We were very comfortable and the home was very well cared for . The community is mostly residential from what I could see We didnt use the pool but it was near the house so great for anyone with children. Everything worked as it should The only issue we had was when we arrived it was very dark and the we didnt find the home easily It maybe could do with a light to shine on the number as we went up and down the street looking for it Other than that the owners were very responsive and we didnt have any issues at all .

Perfect house for our needs. Hugely spacious, with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Lovely location on a very secure, friendly residential site. Close to the US192 with masses of restaurants and shops nearby. We loved it here and would definitely recommend.

Me and my wife stayed at Orlando Dreams in April / May 2018. I have been to Orlando many times and stayed in many places but I know everytime I plan to go back I shall be booking this property. The complex it is on is large but it feels like a close community. The neighbours where friendly and the facilities like the swimming pool and clubhouse was excellent. The accomodation itself felt like home and you could truelly relax. It is spacious, comfortable and has everything and more than you could want from a holiday home. The communication with Paul and the information that subsiquently followed was fantastic. There is a pack at the accomodation that explains everything about the property and shopping, food and entertainment in the area that was really informative.

Driving through Vista Del Lago, it looks beautiful with villas set amongst the trees. Our villa was easy to find with the instructions provided by Paul. On entering the villa we were truly amazed at the interior, beautiful furniture and most importantly the family of bears. The information file covers everything you could want to know about the area, eating and shopping areas, theme parks, golf courses and instructions on how to operate all electronic equipment in the villa. The management caretaker provided us with excellent advice as we visited early September days before Hurricane Irma hit Orlando we were pleased there was no damage to the villa when we returned two days after leaving. Paul also has very friendly neighbours who also assisted us on our return. Unfortunately our holiday was cut short as we had to return home to arrange a family funeral. A beautiful villa, ideal location, everything is provided for your use during your stay in this extremely clean, well maintained mobile home. We will 100% stay here again.

Hi paul,

Had a great stay in your villa, in fact it was fantastic. Your villa is beautiful in every way, couldn't find fault if we wanted to. We felt safe and secure on the Vista Del Lago complex. I will keep your email address for when we go to florida again I would love to book the house again.

Thanks again from all the Mansfields.
