We have booked this villa for the past 4 years. Having stayed in other villas prior to the last 4 years; we were so completely satisfied with the cleanliness,immediate response to problems from the management company and Lynne's positive, friendly manner, there was no hesitation to re-book. We love the privacy, large side yard, large heated pool and the entire villa. When friends and family come to visit, they always remark about how nice it is. We like the location, and often take the FL turnpike, to avoid route 4. We purchased a transponder and find it so simple to use and find the small extra expense worth avoiding huge amounts of traffic, The availability of shopping, restaurants, and close by theme parks is another asset. Lynne and John are constantly updating and replacing items as needed. It is such a pleasure to work with all parties concerned with this villa, that we hope to be returning for many more years.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you very much. You have been wonderful guests over the years and we really appreciate your friendship that has developed over this period. Your feedback has been so helpful in alerting us to potential issues in our home so that we have been able to replace items that have become "tired". We hope you will continue to enjoy your stays for many years to come

This is my family's second visit to Ashley Manor, and in 7 years of renting villas, only the first one that we have ever rented more than once. This speaks to the quality and location of this villa. The villa is everything that you are told you are getting, and a little more. Lynne is always just an email away, and the management company was very quick to resolve any issues, (minor in nature.) The location is very private with a huge side and back yard. Grocery, take out and 192 are just a hop, skip & a jump away. We try to avoid using I-4, and found that the scenic routes were usually quicker. We are a family of 6, and it is nice that the outside dining area allows for us all to sit together to eat. The separate hot tub is a blessing, and the pool is large and kept at a very nice temperature. Renting Ashley Manor is never disappointing! The games room is very well done, but sorry to say, we didn't get a chance to enjoy it - we were too busy enjoying the beautiful outdoors :)Recommended for: Families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you very much for your review It is always wonderful to hear from returning guests and knowing that other people are enjoying our home is the next best thing to being there ourselves. We were delighted to hear that you enjoyed your second stay and that you approved of the new furniture that we had bought in the last year. We hope you found the new beds even more comfortable than the last ones. If you come next year you can enjoy the flowering trees that we are currently having planted in the side yard.

Location is great - just off of I4 which gets you to the beaches and the parks quickly. We truly enjoyed our stay here - comfort, practicality, and fun were the keywords. Lots of space, a fun game room, and the pool was well used by our kids. A great bonus is that this villa had lots and lots of towels and beach towels - which really helped since we had forgotten our own. Also, the baby extras are handy (high chair, stroller, portacrib.) All in all a place well worth staying - and Lynne and John are very caring for their guests! Highly recommended for a couple of families with kids! Excellent rating. +++++++++++++++++++++++++Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We had a wonderful time…. The house is in a great location…close to the freeway and the theme parks….didn’t take long to get there…nice to have a Publix very close. If it was up to my son, he would have stayed at your home all day and went swimming instead. The house worked out great….spent a lot of time out on the lanai. Linda Page was awesome….had a lot of great food and was very interesting to talk to. Will be recommending the house to other family members that go to Orlando on a regular basis. Thank you for your help and prompt response to emails…..it has been a pleasure to work with you.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

From Steve in Atlanta, GA: Location is great - just off of I4 which gets you to the beaches and the parks quickly. We truly enjoyed our stay here - comfort, practicality, and fun were the keywords. Lots of space, a fun game room, and the pool was well used by our kids. Mornings until 10, the sun was not on the pool, so lots of play time without having to worry about sunscreen. A great bonus is that this villa had lots and lots of towels and beach towels - which really helped since we had forgotten our own. Also, the baby extras are handy (high chair, stroller, portacrib.) There's even a small playground at the neighboring subdivision - we didn't try it out, but it is visible. All in all a place well worth staying - and Lynne and John are very caring for their guests! Highly recommended for a couple of families with kids! Excellent rating. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks, SteveDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 4/5

Thank you so much for our lovely villa, we have had a great time *REALLY great things:* The internet access was invaluable. Phone use was invaluable (although I did not make any international calls, but could have if I had needed to, it was a great comfort) The pool towels were brilliant, lots of them and big. We used them continuously. Washer and dryer were brilliant! Wish I could ship them home! The fans in the garage were brilliant...we used them at night in the bedrooms. The books in the Disney room were great, Amy loved them! The games in the cupboard in the living room were great too. Your communication too were faultless...all of the pre arrival information, advice and communications were superb, and your concern when it all started to go wrong was very much appreciated. The villa is thoughtfully equipped which makes looking after it and living in it so much easier and more pleasureable!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 4/6

Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: We are a retired couple from the UK who enjoy getting away from the British winters and having a luxurious lifestyle in a warm climate. Having such a spacious and comfortable home in the sun, and our very own, private swimming pool, is still exciting for us and we love to share it with discerning guests.
Why the Owner Chose Ashley Manor:
We thought that we had the best of all possible worlds by buying here. We were close to all the obvious attractions of Disney, Universal, Sea World, etc. but we also realised that there is so much more to Central Florida than Theme Parks. We enjoy the lakes and National Parks as well as the theatres and cinemas of the local area. No holiday would be complete without a vast range of high quality restaurants to sample and enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We love the privacy of our location and the size of our plot. So few properties have large side gardens and private pool areas. We love the airiness of the villa and the fact that everything we need, including shops are nearby.
