GUEST COMMENTS
Great, spacious home that allowed for our two families to have a wonderful Floridian vacation. The home is close to attractions, and is well kept and well stocked. The pool area was refreshing.

I recommend this home to other families visiting Orlando. It's actually perfect for 2 families. We used the barbecue often which saved us a lot on take out, deliveries and eating out. The kids really enjoyed the pool in the hot weather especially after returning from the parks. There are lots of stores nearby for discounted groceries and the location near Osceola Parkway was perfect. Oh, not the mention, the rate was very reasonable. Thanks much.

The house was perfect for our needs. We liked coming home and having a swim after a busy day. We really appreciated having the picnic cooler to pack lunches. Hope to come back!

Our recent vacation from the frigid winter of Ontario Canada, to the balmy climate of Central Florida, proved to be memoreable. The pictures on this site, are true, but you have to experience the spacious comfort of this villa to really appreciate the unique comfort. The villa is ideally located for those wanting to explore central Florida, the Theme parks, shopping. golfing or even visiting ocean beaches. The vuilla affords a quiet retreat from the daily activities, and if you wish you can merely rest beside the enclosed pool.
Our owner hosts, Jan and Michael provide an honest evaluation of their property, and we found our dealings with them to be most enjoyable. We have no reservations in recommending this property to others.
