The villa was the ideal size for a couple or small family but we felt it was let down by the dated furniture, appliances and definitely the bed! It was so uncomfortable we contemplated sleeping on the floor at one point. We found the AC to be very very noisy, not quiet like other villas we have stayed in over the years. It was especially noisy  in the main bedroom which often kept us awake. Everything seemed very old fashioned even down to the magazines left for us to read, dating from 2003!! The villa information folder had information from 1997! Also the pool furniture was broken when we arrived so we couldnt use it. With a little time and TLC spent on it, this villa could be really lovely. Its a shame its not maintained to a higher standard but we would not book this villa again.

The property in itself was well equipped, I wouldnt call it clean but it was tidy and the bed linen and towels were clean, we felt we were being held to ransom with some of the "notes" displayed around the property, i.e. washing and drying of bed linen, towels etc. when no detergents were provided for said task, we were on holiday and as such dont pack washing detergents, as we were only 2 people staying at a 3 bedroomed property we only used 1 bedroom, also the threat of an extra charge if the bins were not emptied, didnt sit well, we had gone over the Easter break and the bin men didnt come, however we did take all our rubbish to the "tip" in order to avoid the treat of a charge and stripped the bed and started the wash cycle before we left, we didnt have time to wait around as we were in for a 5 hour drive to Key West, the pool heater did come on but it never even got tepid, throughout the whole week, when we rang to ask about this we were told it was normal! also the pool area could have been left in a cleaner state, the sun loungers were broken and the pool cover just thrown to one side, non of these critics are meant for the owner but he needs to check the cleaning company he uses, and the furniture, the bed was very uncomfortable, time for a new mattress, at the time of our visit the property was for sale so it may be that the owner has no interest in spending more money on it.
All that apart we would return to the same property if it were cleaner and maybe a new mattress, the area was very nice and if you wanted to go to the theme parks (we didnt) they were all within easy reach

We had a fantastic holiday and this villa is so well placed for just about anything you want to do in Florida. Not far from parks, shopping or going out for food or entertainment. Pool was heated and kept lovely and warm by the cover provided and the outside area had sunshine from sunrise to sunset. Absolutely perfect!

This villa was amazing, it was very spacious, clean and had all the facilities we needed. We chose it as it was one of the cheaper options on the site but it represented really good value for money and did not disappoint us at all. The bedrooms are all of a large size, so would easily be able to accommodate six people, there was only four of us. The pool area was nice and my granddaughter loved the pool, as we experienced some tropical storms it was nice to be able to have somewhere to go and relax with lots of room as opposed to being in a small hotel room. I would certainly recommend this villa to friends. It is about a 30 minute drive from the parks but dont let this put you off such a nice property.

We were amazed at the size and quality of this villa, it was great value for money and had every utensil we needed. The landlord was very friendly and kind enough to answer any questions I had. and the company managing the villa exceeded expectations and were easy to contact with anything we needed. We will never forget the laughter and good times we had.

I have stayed in Florida on a few occasions and I have to say this was up there with the best villas I have stayed in. My wife was on her first visit to Florida and she thought the villa was gorgeous.

Arriving at the villa after a long plane journey we were very impressed with the lock box for the key which meant we didnt have to go via a management office.

The first impressions of the villa were excellent with the nice cool air conditioning and the high ceilings give you a great sense of space.

It had everything you could possibly need from lots of cutterly and drinks glasses to freshly clean bedding and lovely (and lots) of fluffy towels. The bedrooms were all a nice size, the bathrooms were great and the pool was brill.

I would reccomend this villa to anyone who is thinking of taking a trip to Florida, as it is 20 minutes drive from Disney and 40 minutes drive from Universal Orlando. 

PS/ Looking forward to our next visit, better start saving!

 From Neston, United Kingdom

Stayed at this villa during Oct-09. And it was everything we expected!Having trawled thru loads of villas we plumped for this one for a couple of reasons. Firstly the location - ideally situated in a quiet estate on the US27 close enough to everything, but also just far enough away. Secondly  the south facing pool - makes the difference especially for the kids. Having been to other villas in Florida previously this one was up there with the best, and we particularly liked the spacious layout. It was also well equipped with plenty of everything you need - kitchen well equipped, and loads of linen and bedding. Weve stayed in bigger villas that seemed smaller in comparison. Having also previously had to collect other villa keys from rental offices- which can be a pain, being able just to head straight to the villa and utilise the security box for key then immediate entry is appreciated after a long tiring day - majestic!  The owner was always attentive as well- answering all our questions and trying to deal efficiently with all queries. Overall the property is ideal, the location is ideal, the price suited our budget and all details and pictures are a true likeness of the reality. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to friends. Sensational!

 From Glenrothes, United Kingdom

Very pleased with the location of the villa.  Close enough to the main attractions but far enough away from busy International Drive.  Villa layout was great with plenty of space.  The south facing pool was a big advantage allowing the sun to warm the water - perfect!! The cooking and laundry facilities were excellent.  The other thing we liked about this villa is that there is plenty of space seperating you from other properties.

The directions and communication from the villa owner were 100% accurate and we encountered no problems with anything during our stay. 

If we get booked for 2009 I will definately use this villa again.

 From Guisborough, United Kingdom

Located in a quiet area a few miles from the shops and restaurants of Highway 192, this villa is well equipped and in reasonably good repair. It can be a bit of a pain having to drive for a few miles everytime you want something, but the local shops at Berry Town Centre (including a Publix supermarket with a cash machine that doesn't charge a fee) are pretty good. And the new Wal-Mart supermarket is just north of the junction of the 27 and the 192, so about 5-10 minutes away.

We spent two weeks here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We didn't spend a lot of time at the theme parks, but visited Clearwater Beach on the Gulf Coast twice and the Space Centre was worth the journey too. Most of the time we made use of the lovely private pool at the villa and relaxed. The broadband internet connection is very useful for those workaholics among us!

Overall, it was good and I would recommend it to friends and family - hopefully we'll make it back here too someday.
