Villas in Calabay Parc

We had a lovely stay at Glen Villa over Christmas 2019. The villa is in a lovely residential area - very quiet and all the surrounding villas were of a similar size and quality and very well maintained. The villa itself was just as described and as in the photos - very spacious with plenty of rooms, including bathrooms, so we could all get ready at the same time which was an added bonus when we were in a rush to leave early in order to get to the theme parks. The location was great - handy for Disney and with easy access to the main route to Universal. And the management company was very accommodating, including over our request to check-in early and to check out late due our flight times. We loved having a pool which was not overlooked by neighbours and with views over green areas rather than other villas. The pool itself was really nice with plenty of sunloungers. The only downside was an issue over the pool heating for the first part of our stay which meant that it was heating overnight rather than during the day (which we really needed as the weather wasn't very good). But the management company were quick to respond and came over as soon as we called - it's just a shame that it took a while to identify the problem which meant we had a cold pool for the first few days.

What an absolute pleasure it was to stay in Villa Albatross. A spacious well equipped home from home, for the first time we actually didn't want to go back to our own home at the end of our holiday - not sure we'd ever stay in a hotel again after experiencing a private villa holiday. Superb communication regarding villa instructions i.e keys, alarm etc before our flight. We found the location excellence for our needs - we flew to/from Tampa and had a hire car which we made very good use of - near all major routes. Dawn from management was always at the end of the phone for our minor enquiries and reassurance about the tornado warning, she even rang the next day to make sure our son was O.K (the warning upset him). The owners Yvonne and Martin were wonderful accommodating our last minute changes, we decided to stay on at their villa rather then go to the Resort we had booked for our last 3 days - testament to how much we loved staying at their villa. This was the first time we had booked a villa independently and of course had our reservations about "what ifs" however the whole experience/process was faultless and professional, we would highly recommend Villa Albatross. I didn't expect others to leave "stuff" for the next guests as you don't know how long the duration is between each stay - I took dishwasher tabs, bin liners, foil, cling film, tea bags, coffee, washing up sponges and clothes with me, they didn't take up much room in our luggage and I replaced the washing powder I'd used as I felt it was the right thing to do - we treated Yvonne and Martin's villa respectfully, like we do our own home. We would like to thank Yvonne and Martin for sharing their wonderful villa us 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 we hope to return 😊

Just come home from this beautiful villa The pictiures don't do it justice .. it is a big villa Not far from restraunts & a public , Walmart ..ect

Nice and big central and would book again....great price. Worked well for our family and would go back in a heart beat, neighbours lovely, all in all yes I recommend this property so please book and you wont be disappointed

We had an amazing holiday in this villa, the location is great for all parks, we had so much fun in the pool, the owners and the management team were so friendly and helpful. The Villa is the best equipped we have ever stayed in. We definately will be returning here for our future holidays to florida.

We have just returned from spending a month at this villa. We originally booked it for two adults, and then with the owner’s permission we added two more as our friends joined us part way through the month. The layout suited our party size as there are two master suites situated on opposite sides of the main living space allowing for privacy. Three large sofas ensured we had plenty of space to relax on an evening. We used the small dining area for our meals situated just off the kitchen, rather than the formal dining area, however if there were more than four people for meals there is plenty of space. The kitchen is well equipped with quality pans for use on the hob although limited to only a grill pan and one baking tray, for use in the oven, but it has plenty of crockery, and cutlery meaning we didn’t have to wash up after every meal time, although we did set the dishwasher off each night. It was unusual to find nothing left from previous guests in respect of, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing powder etc, however with Dollar Tree (Poundland for UK visitors), just up the US27 we were able to stock up, and leave some for others following us. Dollar Tree is also good for baking products, and baking tins, with the kitchen being a good size and with a decent oven, we ate in most nights. On the Sundays I even managed to successfully cook Yorkshire Puddings and also treated us to homemade cakes and cookies making us feel very at home. Supermarkets close by are Publix, Walmart and for those familiar with it Aldi has just opened up on the 192. For those who don’t want to eat in, a short drive down the 27 to Championsgate or the 192 to Kissimmee will give you a good range of restaurants. The pool area is not the largest we’ve had on previous stays in villas, however saying that there was enough room for four adults to use the pool to cool down. There are two tables, one with a parasol and one under the covered area with four chairs, but only three loungers meaning we had to rotate their use, however we made it work. There is a BBQ on the pool deck which we didn’t use so can’t comment on it. We regularly travel to Florida to play golf and there are plenty to choose from within a short drive of the villa, the closest is Championsgate on the opposite side of the US27 from Calabay Parc, this was in the best condition of all the courses we played this year. Communication with both Martin and Yvonne, prior to our stay and during was very good, allowing us earlier access on our day of arrival meant we were able to get in just after lunchtime, instead of having to wait until after 4pm, which we were very grateful for, and also Dawn, from the management company, who assisted us with a minor issue at the start of our stay. The four of us have been travelling to Florida for more than 20 years, although not always staying together for this length of time, but we all agreed that this villa was one of the better ones in relation to interior space, facilities and comfort. We hope to be able to return to Florida in the summer of 2020 and if this villa is available for the time we want it we will certainly look to book it again.
