Meet the owner
 Dawn and Alan MurrayHello! We are Dawn and Alan Murray from West Sussex in the UK and have 2 children - now 19 and 13.We had been holidaying in Florida for many years (even before the children came along, we just love it!), and after renting a villa for the first time, we knew a hotel would no longer do, so in 2003 we set about searching for our perfect villa. When we first stepped inside Villa Sunrise Dream and saw those lake views and realised how close we were to the parks, we were hooked - nothing else would do, and the following month our dreams became a reality, when we completed and the villa became ours. Since then we have been visiting at least twice a year, and nothing beats that feeling of arriving at Sunset Lakes each time. As the time went by I loved sharing our home with guests, hearing their reactions and being part of making their holiday one in a lifetime, so much so that in 2011 we bought our second villa on Sunset Lakes, Villa Sunset Dream and completely renovated top to bottom, using all we had learned from Sunrise Dream over the years to make Sunset Dream equally as stunning and welcoming. I now have have the perfect excuse for shopping to my hearts content to ensure the villas are in tip top condition all the time - what could be better!! Our wonderful family owned Management Company look after the villa and our guests 24/7 in our absence, so you will always be in safe hands when you are there. We welcome lots of questions about Florida and the villas, so please feel free to get in touch and ask away. |

Hi Dawn,
Thanks for the email, we had a fantastic holiday thank you, the villa was absolutely excellent. It was really spacious, meaning the entire family could spread themselves out nicely.As you are aware it was my retirement treat to my family so we only actually took one child who was only six weeks old, she was a little too young to appreciate the parks. The games room provided the scene for evening family tournaments and a league, the pool area was also really well used. The location was really good and once we mastered the shortcut to the Disney parks we were able to get there and back really quickly. A couple of us went out for morning runs down to the 192 and back, it was lovely watching the hot air balloons rising from the distance to the front of the villa, and the sunrise and sunsets were lovely. The villa was really well equipped and we would really like to return for a slightly less hectic holiday in the future. It was a bit difficult trying to fit in all the parks in just 2 weeks.

Hi Dawn,
I recently had the pleasure of staying at your villa the first couple of weeks in June with my brother, Mark Young and family.
I wanted to drop you a quick line to say how fantastic your villa is, it was perfect, we all had such a great time. The view of the lake from the villa either early morning or after a day of walking around the parks was just gorgeous, a prime spot for watching the crazy lightning storms!
It was my first time in America and absolutely loved every minute of it and will definitely be returning to go to all of those places we never had time to visit and hopefully your villa will be available.

The Young Family
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Hi Dawn
We had a fabulous holiday, the villa was great, the weather was good, we had no complaints, and were amazed how well equipped and everything you could possibly need was there. Being so close to Disney we didnt spend enough time at the villa or around the pool, think you really need 3 weeks.
We will definitely come back in the future and are already recommending the villa to friends we have spoke to,
If I did have a complaint it would be the holiday was not long enough.

Hi Dawn,
Just to let you know we have arrived and are so pleased. Your house is amazing and it has outdone our expectations completely. The kids have not got out of the pool yet!

Wished we had found your villa first - would have saved a lot of time trawling through other villas. Weather was exceptional and the hot tub was an absolute treat, especially watching the sunset go down over the lake.
The Westall Family
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Hi Dawn,
Just wanted to let you know that we totally loved the villa. The house is amazing and so is the location. We couldnt have asked for better. There was more than enough room for everyone. The pool was beautiful and the hot tub everyone used happily.
We would definitely recommend the house to our friends!!!!! Again thank you so very much for the use of the house!!!
The Lambert Family
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
We stayed at Villa Sunset Dream in December 2012. There were four of us and we have 2 teenage boys. The villa is perfect for children and provides lots of space and things to do.
The villa was lovely and clean. It provided more than the norm with regards to extras. The Games Room is excellent and the outside area had lots of pool toys.
The layout of the house would easily accommodate two families comfortably. The area itself was quiet and private with a lovely peaceful view over the lake from the pool area.
Thanks to Dawn for her efficient handling of the booking/payment process. We would recommend this villa and certainly stay here again
The Hirst Family
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
WOW WHAT A HOLIDAY
Just wanted to say what a wonderful time we had in Florida. The villa was fantastic, the kids loved the pool and the games room. It had everything we needed. Your Management Company were fantastic when we had a problem with the pool temperature and arrived within 20 minutes and sorted the problem straight away.
Thanks again, we had a fantastic time and will recommend your villas to everyone.
The Stewart Family
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
We have just returned from an amazing fortnight in Florida, staying at the beautiful Villa Sunset Dream. Dawns friendly and prompt response to every minute (and probably annoying!) query we had before even setting off on our holiday really was second to none service. She also arranged the provision of additional items that werent already in the villa, a true extra mile which was very much appreciated.
The villa is exactly as described or better in fact with wonderful pool in a lovely setting, which is so hand for the airport, Disney and the other parks/shopping that we would not ever consider staying at a Disney resort now. Home from home and freedom from the crowds and hustle and bustle.
We cannot recommend Villa Sunset Dream enough for your holiday and we will definitely be returning with the family from Scotland and Australia.
Thank you for helping make our kids first Disney holiday a dream!!
