Superb villa in beautiful location 5.0 / 5 We would highly recommend this villa. It is very well equipped - our teenage children loved playing pool, table tennis and air hockey and the swimming in the outdoor pool. The view from the pool across the golf course is beautiful and there is ample comfortable pool furniture for everyone to sit and relax. The villa is very spacious and clean throughout. We didnt find time to cycle or to play tennis but would do so on another visit. The location of the villa is perfect with exceptional golf facilities surrounding and a well cared for community. Restaurants and a Walmart are just two minutes drive or a ten minute walk away which is so handy after a long day at the theme parks. We found the drive to the parks very straight forward too. Booking the villa was straightforward and communication and information from the owners, Gary and Kathy, was excellent at all times. We hope to return another year.

Southern Dunes holiday 5.0 / 5 We were more than delighted to stay at this very large family home and would not hesitate to book it again should we return to the area. There were 7 of us staying and never once felt on top of each other. It was so well equipped with everything you could think possible and the games room in the garage and swimming pool a haven for the three children. The cleanliness was impressive and the management company most obliging. The theme parks in Orlando are a 20 drive away which wasn't a problem and so many golf courses very close by in addition to Southern Dunes. A wallmart is at the entrance of the estate as are many restaurants and drive throughs. Many thanks to Gary and Kathy who were very helpful with the booking. Guest name: Andy and Cherrill Knott Date of visit: 25 May until 8 June 2017

Excellent Holiday Villa 5.0 / 5 From the outset Kathy and Gary were helpful and obliging ensuring the booking all went smoothly. The villa is perfect for your stay in a quiet and relaxed development. The south facing pool has excellent views of the golf course. The course is popular however far enough away for privacy when outdoors. All the facilities in the villa are fine and helped to make the stay comfortable. The bikes are a nice touch and plenty of games available in the garage in case of showers. Local shops perfect for food and drink. Manneys Steakhouse is 5 minutes away and highly recommended for quality and value. The main theme parks are about a 30 minute easy drive away from the villa. It is reassuring having a gated and secure development. This villa is highly recommended for a family holiday to lovely Florida Guest name: Peter & Michaela Date of visit: 10th - 24th May 2017

Orlando holiday May 2016 - Southern Dunes 5.0 / 5 Note: This review is late as I forgot to post it upon my return. This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the villa, first time was Sept 2015. Yes, so good we came back and if circumstances allow will be back for a third stay. Both visits were for 2 weeks. Firstly, the villa is superb! Plenty of space, good kitchen, super cool a/c, pool area is excellent - the view to the lake (water hazard on the 5th green) is very interesting. Lots of wildlife to watch and the golfers as well. Neither are intrusive. Just outside the main entrance is a massive Walmart - where you can buy virtually anything imaginable. Except spirits - which you can buy from a great liquor store across the road - next to McDonald's and a Chinese restaurant. Tip: upon arrival dump your suitcases at the villa and go straight to Walmart - load up with essentials to get you through the night and then jump in the pool! The drive to Disney and Universal takes between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on which you are visiting that day. Busch is about 1 hour 15. We drove to all the major parks during both visits and had no issues with the journeys. The golf course looks great. We have not played, just cycled around it a few times - bicycles are in the garage. Not much more to say really, except thank you to the owners for renting out such a great property.
