Holly Pursell
My husband, Rich, and I live outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. We have two daughters and one son ages 37, and 34 (twins). We have been married for 40 years. Rich is the Vice President of a small pharmaceutical company, and I am the Administrative Assistant to the Principal at one of our local elementary schools.

We have always loved vacationing with our children, and Florida has always been one of our favorite places to stay. When Blue Horizon Villa became available for sale, we knew this was the place we wanted to make memories in.

Amazing villa!

star_ratestar_ratestar_ratestar_ratestar_rate 5.0 / 5

We have the best 2 weeks staying in this villa. Had everything we needed. Really close to Walmart and closest park was Animal Kingdom literally a 10 minute drive away. The pool was the best with amazing views of the lake where my son enjoyed trying to spots crocs!(we didn't see any). Holly was the best host. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Responded to my emails promptly and even let me add her number so I could order a birthday cake for my son online! We will definitely be booking again but this time for 3 weeks instead just so we can enjoy more time in the villa and pool!

This Villa ticks all the boxes. Spacious with a vaulted ceiling in the kitchen/ snug area looking up to a balcony which leads to the upstairs bedrooms. The master bedroom is large with a very roomy bathroom, there is an outside balcony leading off the bedroom which overlooks the pool area and lake. The remaining bedrooms are bright and welcoming with ample bathroom cover. The kitchen is well equipped and the separate lounge area spacious. The pool is small but adequate with excellent safety arrangements for small families. The games room in the garage adds to the extensive facilities. Located just over 10 minutes from Disney’s Animal Kingdom via Osceola Parkway, keeping clear of the busy Route 192. This Villa would easily accommodate 2/3 families. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Find

star_ratestar_ratestar_ratestar_ratestar_rate 5.0 / 5

We always stay at Rich and Holly’s place when we are in Florida- a true home away from home! The villa is conveniently located close to many great restaurants and shops like Publix, Walmart, and Target. Disney is very close and Universal is a reasonable 30 minute drive. Inside, the home is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and well stocked. The games room has brought us hours of joy and after a long day at the park, it’s nice that everyone can find their own quiet place to relax. Of course, my favorite feature has to be the stunning covered patio and pool with its view of the lake. I have spent many a peaceful hour recharging my battery in this tranquil space. I cannot say enough about this villa. Thanks Rich and Holly!

Scenic Views and a Home Away From Home

star_ratestar_ratestar_ratestar_ratestar_rate 5.0 / 5

My family and I stayed here for my birthday late January, and it was absolutely beautiful. The home was clean, charming, and just minutes away from Downtown Disney. The hosts were easy to work with and attentive. We will definitely try to make this an annual retreat as it truly was a home away from home.
