Imagine i.mag.ine ( i-maj'in )v.tr.1. To form a mental picture or image2. To think; conjecture:Imagine ...You've just got home from an amazing day in the theme parks. Your feet feel somehow detached from your body. They ache. Dinner feels like a mountainous effort that you just can't climb. You choose instead to order pizza; maybe a little later.You decide to relax a while in the spa. The warm Florida evening slowly condenses onto your chilled Napa Valley Chardonnay as the spa's hot bubbles gently massage away the day's energies. You watch the sun leisurely setting over the golf course and the world slowly evolves into the most idyllic place.That's the dream. The reality is that you are currently reading about one of Orlando's most desireable villas, located in the award winning Highlands Reserve Golf Club.You've worked hard for this vacation. Go on, spoil yourself. You've earned it.
"WOW! Your pool and deck are amazing."This is the kind of comment we get from other villa owners when they see our pool and deck.

It is hard to describe using words alone. It's just that sheer feeling of quality and comfort that runs right through everything. The immediate wow-factor you get when you first set foot through the front door leaves you in no doubt that you've hit on one of Orlando's gems.Achieving this is not easy, it doesn't happen automatically and takes a lot of care and attention to detail. By all means put us to the test and ask us to explain some of the planning, thinking and tweaks that make the villa what it is. It all started years before the builder even started digging and we are more than happy to tell you the story of the background work that went into making the villa as good as it is. To use some words from the great Bill Shankley. We don't advertise that the villa is like living in a show home. It's way better than that.If you want to know more, please do read on ...Imagine ... spending the day trying to decide if the sky is bluer than the pool, or the pool bluer than the sky.What shall we do today? A question you so often ask yourself when vacationing in Orlando. You have the whole of Disney just a few minutes away, along with all the other Orlando theme parks and major attractions. Yet it feels like a wrench to leave the villa. Even the children are telling you that Disney can wait. They want to spend another day in the pool, they love it that much. And so do you! You take a quick glance through the window and even now, early in the morning, the sun is coming over the top of the villa throwing sparkling flecks of light off the shimmering water. A million lightning fingers are beckoning you to jump straight in. You know that the sun won't quit until it finally sets. Just there over to the right. Just over the approach to the 2nd green where yesterday you watched so many golfers, an occasional one searching amongst the pine trees for a mis-hit shot.You remember how you spent yesterday by the pool; at least until the sun got too hot and forced a temporary retreat to the shade of the lanai. You try telling yourself that you can't spend another day by the pool. Can you? Even as this thought dances through your head you catch yourself looking at the loungers. So comfortable! Yours is still exactly where you left it, giving you the most amazing view over the golf course when you raised your eyes just a fraction over the top of your book. The kids are already asking you to take the lock off the door so that they can have a quick swim. Just a quick one. They promise. They promised yesterday, and you spent the whole day by the pool. Surely today you should be at a theme park. Yesterday was such a good day though. You can't spend another day by the pool.Can you?Imagine ... having so much choice, yet choosing none of it.What shall we do tonight? The question begs to be answered even before you are out of the shower. You know that you've been in the shower far too long, but big showers just do that for you. It's such a nice change from those tiny cramped showers you typically get in a hotel room.Maybe you'll try a new restaurant. They are all so close that you haven't yet eaten at the same place twice. You might even walk across to Berry Town Center. You still can't believe that there are shops and bars just a five minute walk away. You think back to last night's take-away. It was so nice being only a short walk from the Chinese, and the food was delicious. Sesame chicken with vegetable fried rice. Yum! You had planned to go out somewhere last night but then you spotted your favourite movie being shown in high definition. The Sony Bravia took over and you were enthralled. What an experience. The kids were away in the den playing on the PS-2. It's such a good idea to have it in it's own room. You didn't hear a peep out of them all night.Quality Designed InGetting this kind of magical feel into a holiday villa is not easy. It takes time, energy and lots of committment. When we started looking for a villa we knew exactly what we wanted. We worked towards the end product in the same way that a top chef sees the exact dish they want to create and then works all the ingredients, preparation and cooking towards producing that perfectly presented and exquisitely tasting meal.With Highlands Reserve we found what we believe (still) to be the most gorgeous place for a home. The time spent researching which plot would have the best view, where the sun would rise and set, where would the pool be, how would it all work together, was time well spent indeed. We had to wait over a year for the developer to make that plot available and almost a year beyond then before the villa was built. But good things come to those who wait, and all those days walking around the barren, sandy development became so worthwhile when we first set foot throught the villa's front door.Wow! That's the only way to describe our reaction.When you see it for yourself, how will you describe yours?Support and ServiceHaving the most fantastic villa in Orlando is nothing if it isn't backed by a similar standard of service. I take a huge personal pride in the quality of service I offer to my guests and do my very utmost to offer the kind of personal service that turns a wonderful vacation into something even more special. A recent guest described this as like having a personal host and travel guide whenever they wanted, a kind of 'ghost host'.The Best BitThis obviously varies from person to person, but for us it's the pool and spa; and especially the spa. The control system can control the spa temperature independent from the main pool temperature, and boy is it currently set hot. It's safe to say that relaxing in the 100+ degree bubbles with a beer or nice glass of wine, watching the sun set over the golf course is just idyllic; and if it's late when you get back from the theme parks, a dip in the spa makes a perfect end to a perfect day.You'll love it!
