Our villa is beautiful and is lavishly decorated and has a stunning premier view overlooking and fronting the lake which is not overlooked. Your morning starts with the sun rising over the tall trees draped with spanish moss at the opposite side of the lake. You can see the mist rising over the lake surface and you have full sun all day on your deck. You can enjoy dining Al Fresco while savoring your beautiful lake view. At night, you can unwind after a hectic day at the park and sit on your private deck watching the beautiful moon rise over the lake and listen to the cicadas, toads and birds. Our oversized pool deck has 6 loungers (upgraded this year) , a dining table and chairs, a charcoal barbecue and optional pool heat. We have hedging around the pool cage sides for added privacy - its just you and the family.

It has a flat screen TV and DVD which leads to a large oversized master en-suite with a jacuzzi bath separate shower and toilet areas, a jacuzzi bath and a large walk in closet big enough to store those extra cases you will fill with designer goodies at the outlet mall !!! Our master bedroom overlooks the lake and enjoys a stunning lake front view. We also have a queen en-suite bedroom with beautiful cream furniture, and a twin bedroom with a beautiful lake view also. Unique to our villa and a huge hit with the kids, is our themed Mickey and Minnie kids room.

Stunning Lake Front Villa/Modern/ Upgrades/Wifi/Games Room
Year Purchased: 2007
Owner's Map of Lake Berkley
We are Mike and Val Lane and we bought the Lake House in 2007. Once we arrived in Lake Berkely Resort, set in beautiful grounds with mature oaks and three lakes, we know we wanted a voila on Lake Berkley Drive as this has the best premier lake view fronting the lake and it is not overlooked and private.Once the villa was ours, we modernized our villa, updating the furniture, accessories and bedding with modern luxurious furniture, and installed a beautiful new granite kitchen and added a new flat screen TV. We have 2 boys so we know how to cater for youngsters and what they like. As we vacation here 3 times a year, our villa has to be special to us so we spared no expense in upgrading the fixtures. As we vacation here so often, we are also able to address any issues guests may have and ensure that all appliances and fixtures are operating efficiently. We are constantly changing the villa and next year we will have a new web=site which will reflect the changes and improvements we have made.

We wanted to thank you for allowing us the use of your vacation home. It was all that we expected and more. Your home allowed our stay to be very comfortable, especially after our long days at Universal Studios,,,,,,!!!!! Our children greatly enjoyed the game room and pool area. This kept them busy and us relaxed!!! If you have children, I am sure you know how important that was..... Once again, thank you very much!!!

The pictures on the web were weary neat but in reality the villa was even better. So we where very happy with the stay in Lake Berkley. I can gladly recommend your villa to all my friends and to be honest with you we all ready miss the villa. In future if we are going to come and visit Florida we will most certainly contact you to rent the villa again

Had a lovely time in Florida, It was great to arrive at such a beautiful house after such a long and exhausting flight. The outlook onto the lake was amazing and great to wake up to in the morning, also wonderful for a walk and to watch the wildlife. We will highly recommend this to our friends. Ray Dyche

The opportunity you gave us to enjoy your magnificent house (and the indeed stunning lake view) was an important factor in that. It gave us a very rich feeling sitting on the terrace and watching the sunrise above the lake as well as the nice and warm evenings with a glas of wine. So many thanks for letting us share that feeling. J Pongers

just a line to thank you for all the assistance and consideration you have given over the last few weeks. As regards the villa, it exceeded our greatest expectations, first impressions on entering are jaw dropping, coupled with all of the facilities and location it truly is a perfect choice.Also the site management must be congratulated on the codition of the site i.e. garden maintenance, site cleanliness and security. My only reget is that we did not book it for a month, we hardly had time to enjoy the villa, especialy the swimming pool, we only used it twice, the second time being on the Friday afternoon when you kindly allowed us to stay over until mid-afternoon. Derek, Joan and family
