Affordable Luxury! 3BR/2BA Villa - 3 1/2 Miles from Disney!

Our vacation Villa is located in The Villas at Somerset, Kissimmee, Florida, and ALL VILLAS THERE ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL! Some are owned by management companies who manage a large number of units and some are owned by individuals like us. The rental experience can vary significantly depending on which individual unit you rent. Rent one of the mass-marketed units and you may be disappointed.
Rent ours and we guarantee you won't be!!
As owners, we constantly upgrade our unit because it is our vacation home. Our Villa has a queen bed in the master bedroom, queen in the second bedroom, and two twins in the third bedroom. We bought the unit new and, since we purchased it, have upgraded the carpeting and furniture, installed brass fixtures in the bathrooms, ceramic tiled the floors in the bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and hallway, installed ceiling fans and TV's in all the bedrooms, a stained glass fixture in the dining room, added decorative plants throughout and hung wallpaper borders and new artwork in all the rooms. We recently added free high speed wireless internet access and large flat panel TV's in the living room and master bedroom.
Now you might say, 'I don't care about all that, I just want a good price.' We rent the Villa ourselves to keep our rates low by eliminating rental agency profits and would rather have it rented than vacant. Our rates are low and haven't increased in the last 15 years. The bottom line is you get a more luxurious Villa at less than you would pay for one of the mass-marketed ORDINARY ones!! Once you stay at our condo you will discover what all our repeat guests have found, our Villa is the best lodging value dollar for dollar in the Disney area!

Great place for our Disney trip

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was everything they it would be and so much more. We were very pleased by the size and cleaniness of the condo. The living area was very spacious and everything you would think of needing was there. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and spare bed linens. Pool was one building down from the condo and very nice. Also loved how it was so close and so easy to get to Disney and Sea World. We definately will be recommending it to our friends and most likely will stay there again when we visit in two years. Definitely a great value!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Dawn, So glad you enjoyed your stay! We try to set our guest's expectations with accurate descriptions, photos and videos of our vacation condo. Looks like we can add you and your family to our roster of repeat guests! We look forward to it! Alan and Anna

We loved our stay. The kids really enjoyed having there own rooms. We had a little problem when we first got there and the owners were on it with in 10 minutes and had everything fixed. They were wonderful and if you needed anything they were there. the aminites were great didn't get to use them to much since the Condo is located right in the middle of so many different things you can do. If you want a clean very cozy place this is for you. We will gladly rent again and since coming back I have told at least 5 people that want to look into renting this. Thank you Al and Anna for making coming home everynight to the condo a great relaxing place.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thanks Toni. We're glad you enjoyed our vacation home and appreciate the referrals. There is nothing more satisfying for us then to get repeat customers (and we have many) and customer referrals, as that tells us all of our hard work in decorating and maintaining our home is appreciated.

We enjoyed our stay at your lovely condo. It was so much better than a hotel. The location is excellent – 10 minutes from Epcot and close to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. At the same time, it is very quiet and comfortable. Thank you for all the small details that you have thought about to make your guests welcome.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Bella, So glad you enjoyed it! Tell your friends and relatives! We do try to provide a family-friendly, well-equipped and beautifully decorated accommodation and we love when our guests "get that" with comments of appreciation! Thanks so much! We hope we can help with any future Florida vacation plans.

Dear Al and Ann: Ann and I arrived home yesterday (Saturday ) afternoon and both of our children at their different destinations last night. To say we had a good time in Orlando would be putting it mildly. One of the highlights of course was the comfort and convenience of staying at your place at Villas of Somerset. Thank you for making it available to us. Couldn't have been much nicer. All the best to you and your children. Sincerely, LouisDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1990
About the owner: Me and my wife Anna live in Aberdeen, NJ and have three children and a Yorkshire Terrier named Ernie. When the children were younger, we decided to try a vacation condo near Disney. The advantages of being able to spread out in a 3 bedroom condo with the kids was fantastic! It actually was the reason we decided to purchase ! Our children still enjoy going down a few times a year with their friends and families. Anna and I are very active in raising money for the fight against breast cancer, as Anna was diagnosed in 2002. She is now a 10-year breast cancer survivor! The picture is of me and Anna in our New Jersey backyard wearing our custom-made team sweatshirts the day of the annual 3K Breast Cancer Walk in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. We also love country music and two-stepping and try to go dancing once a week.
Why the Owner Chose Villas of Somerset:
Once we stayed in a vacation condo near Disney there was no going back to a single hotel room. Having the convenience of making a late night snack in the kitchen, grabbing a cold soda out of the fridge (no need to go get ice at the hotel ice making machine) or a scoop of ice cream out of the freezer, all without leaving the comfort of your condo, is just fantastic. There is also so much to do within minutes of the condo with the theme parks, water parks, restaurants and spring training baseball that we thought this is an area we will probably continue to return to because of our children and eventually our grand children. We decided we would invest in a vacation condo there. We are die-hard Yankee fans and spring training in Tampa is just an hour away! The trip from New Jersey to Kissimmee is about 17 hours by car and we have developed a routine that actually makes the trip very do-able. Often we have tools, supplies and artwork to bring down that cannot be easily taken on a plane, so the car trips become somewhat of a necessity. But above all else, we are just 3 1/2 miles from the Disney entrance and that is a joy (especially when you leave the park at night, completely exhausted, and know that you will be in bed a mere 10 minutes from now! )
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Now that our children are grown and visit the condo with their families and friends, Anna and I vacation there by ourselves and enjoy a restful, no pressure, no-schedule vacation that usually includes sprucing up the condo. Anna loves all the shopping. I'll bet that there must be 4 or 5 malls within a 10 mile radius of our unit with everything from the very upscale to the traditional chain stores to the fantastic outlets! Anna is a decorator in every sense of the word, so many of these shopping trips are geared toward finding something special to add to the decor of the condo. And we ALWAYS do!
