Why the Owner Chose Lake Berkley
Florida and families go hand-in-hand. There is no better place for us than the peaceful oasis of the upmarket gated community of Lake Berkley Resort. As soon as we visited the area we knew it was the place for us. It has so much to offer…tennis, basketball, cyber café, gym, tiki bar and communal pool and much, much more. It is a wonderful place to take time-out to be with your children and family members. Our resort is so tranquil; a heaven for wildlife and our newest addition is our fabulous community pool and splash area for adults and children alike! It is so central to all of Orlando’s attractions dining, shopping and much, much more.

Owner's Map of Lake Berkley
About Ourselves: We are Madeleine and Denis we’ve been married for thirty-five years and have two children, Suzanne and Robert. We have grown up together and family life is so central to us both. I have been fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom and made it my mission to provide a loving home environment for us all; this is something which I am immensely proud of. I have now turned my attention to our home in Florida which we have owned for almost five years. Families play an important role in our lives and we hope this devotion has transcended into our stunning home in Florida. We are fortunate to call previous guests, friends, and for us this is what owning a home is all about. Communication is the key…it is not a blind transaction, we are here to make sure your stay is as pleasurable as possible. Trust is also a key feature.
