POOH'S PLAYHOUSE - SO NEAR THE MOUSE YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR HIM SQUEAK!
LOCATION... LOCATION... LOCATION...
Rolling Hills is located just past marker 5 on the 192 at the Formosa Gardens Estates. Established as one of the premier locations for the Orlando area, it is a small, friendly community that is immaculately maintained with only 192 homes on it. Rolling Hills is only a few minutes from Disney, 10/15 to Sea World, 15/20 to Universal and 30 minutes from Orlando International Airport. Just along from Windsor Hills and a little down the road from Windsor Palms, opposite Formosa Gardens at one entrance, and Indian Creek on the other, and half a mile up the road from Acadia, Oak Island Cove, Oak Island Harbor and 1 - 2 miles Emerald Isles and Sunset Lakes.
This villa is in a quiet and peaceful location where you can rest away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks, and yet in minutes you can sample everything that has made Florida the holiday and vacation centre of the world.
We are not the cheapest but we are one of the nearest! Staying at a location such as ours cuts down the time you spend in your car and gives you more time chilling out with the mouse! You can also come back at lunch for a rest and a swim in the pool -and return in time re-charged for the evening.

Alternatively you may like to visit the surrounding areas such as some of the State Parks. Within a few minutes drive you can be out in the country heading for places such as Mount Dora with it's unique charm and fabulous lakeside panoramic views or Winter Park with its village like community.

GUESTS COMMENTS:
"We had a fabulous time!! Everything was just perfect. We absolutely LOVED staying in your house. The location was perfect, it was a beautiful home, and we couldn't have been happier. Thank you very much for all of your help and your very precise directions. We didn't have any trouble finding it at all and I think getting to the parks was quicker and easier than using Disney transportation had we stayed on property again. We all ended up saying that is what we want to do next time we go to WDW. Thank you again for everything. We have been down there 7 times and this was the best trip ever!!"
"As you've probably already noticed the villa is superb with all the mod cons."
"We have had a wonderful holiday - a lovely house and pool"
"Villa is superb, very welcoming after a tiring day at the parks, we will be recommending this villa to our family and friends"

"We had a fantastic time, the villa was all that we were looking for, looks like we won't be using any more Disney hotels for future visits"
"Thank you for the use of your villa, it was a lovely base to discover the surroundings, a pleasure to stay in and the only stress-free part of the holiday"
"Our stay in the villa has been very enjoyable.
The villa itself was a great surprise, surpassing all our expectations."
"Hi Fiona, Again, many thanks for the lovely rental of your home for the week that our family spent in Florida. It was simply a perfect way for us to stay, and everyone, from the grandparents to the grandkids, truly enjoyed. Your home was great, the pool and jacuzzi perfect, and I must say that my kids really enjoyed the Pooh themed room. They even stayed in their rooms more or less at night!! even our toddler stayed in the bed fortified with guards and pillows! We enjoyed having the "extras" around, such as the books and movies and the great complete kitchen and BBQ.
If we go to Orlando again, we will definitely be looking to stay at your home again."
"Dear Fiona & Chris, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely villa. The kids loved the Pooh room, game room and toys. Everything is set up so nicely here. We appreciate the effort you put into making this such a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay!
"Dear Fiona & Chris, Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. It was the perfect home away from home for our little boys birthday celebration. We all had a wonderful time and are looking forward to our next stay here."

"Dear Fiona, thank you so much for allowing our family to stay in your lovely villa. We really had a fantastic and relaxing family vacation and couldn't imagine a more ideal setting than this. We can't wait to come again."
"Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of using your beautiful Florida home. We enjoyed it so much when we stayed over Christmas that we wanted to use it again to celebrate John's 40th. The welcoming touches were very much appreciated and huge thank you for his birthday cake and champagne. We've had another fantastic family holiday and we will definitely be back in the future."
