  Hi We were 2 families of 2 adults and 2 children ages 13,14,15 and 15 we have just stayed for 2 weeks at southview villa Lake Berkeley the layout is perfect for sharing families as well as friends very clean and great layout for dining and socialising after a long day out. Pool was great along with the hot tub and also the views are great overlooking the lake.The games room is very handy for playing pool after a day out over a nice cold beer. The patio area is in sun all day which is perfect if you just want a chill by the pool. Only a few mins drive to the parks and restaurants close by. Would very highly recommend staying here to anyone. We have been to Florida many times and stayed in a hotel but this holiday was by far the best and that was also helped by the villa being perfect. The owner Madeline was very helpful and we always received very prompt answers to any questions we asked. All rooms very spacious and has the feel tat you are not all on top of each other Cutler and Barnett families April 2013

  Owner response: Hello, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m so glad my home allowed you to enjoy what the home and the resort have to offer. Knowing you had such a fantastic time is a real boost. Our home really is close to all you need for a relaxing and hectic time, where you can wind down or use the facilities the resort has to offer to energise yourself. Great to have a sunny deck too, a true south-facing pool to enjoy. Our interior game room has been a big, big hit no matter the age group. I hope you liked the new décor. Thank you for the recommendation and I hope I have the pleasure of your welcoming again if and when you return to Florida. Lots of love, Madeleine

  Dear Madeline We had such a wonderful time in your your beautiful home! Thank you! The children loved swimming in the pool….thank you for suggesting that we heat the water. By the time we got home from the parks, it would have been too chilly for them to swim were the water not heated. Everything in your home is so well equipped. It was a dream preparing meals in the kitchen. The grill worked very well. The beach towels were put to great use! The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The décor in the twin bedrooms was a big hit with our grandchildren. All of the rooms are beautifully furnished and decorated. Your driving directions are excellent. We found getting to the parks a very pleasant and short driving experience. The drives from and to the airport went very well. Blessings and love to you and your family, Bob and Sally

  Owner response: Dearest Bob and Sally, I am so happy you had such a wonderful time in my home. I'm glad you liked my detailed instructions. A lot of work went into them so my guests will find my home with ease. Location is all important and we believe Lake Berkley is central to everything. It is in the heart of Kissimmee but in a truly quiet and peaceful setting. Thank you once again and so glad you had the opportunity to fish as well. Glad you made full use of the rods we provide. Warmest regards, Madeleine xxx

  Hi Madeleine--- Just a quick note to tell you how much we enjoyed our few days at your rental. The pool and hot tub were probably the highlight--- coming from snow to 80 degrees the swimming and sunning was wonderful. Your home is so cozy and so tastefully decorated just as you advertised----- I have to give you a hug for that mattress pad as I got the main bedroom and was ever so grateful for the comfort there. I would certainly recommend this property to my friends. The girls got their fill of Universal and Harry Potter--- the Van we rented was excellent--- Walker Mobility delivered and picked up a little Go-G0 scooter for me (thank you for that information) so I had mobility when travelling--- the weather was great --- your home, phone line, pool table, hot tub & swimming pool were perfect so ----- Thank you for contributing to making our little holiday a success.

  Owner response: Thank you Connie for your comments regarding the good experience you had in my home, they are truly appreciated. It was my pleasure to make your holiday perfect for you, Laurie and the girls. Your recommendation and positive feedback cheered me up no end. I am so pleased you all enjoyed the pool, spa and the facilities my home has to offer, especially after a hard day at the theme parks. I hope you stay with us again. Warmest regards, Madeleine

  The house was lovely and the beds very comfortable. We had 9 of us staying there including 3 Grandchildren. We chose to have the pool heated as we weren't sure what the weather would be like and it can get cool in the evenings in January. The pool was a great hit with everyone and was used every day and the adults sat in the hot tub most evenings. Shopping, dining and Disney were all close at hand. It was great that there was a baby gate, highchair, stroller and crib (cot) for thte baby. The kitchen had everything that we needed. My 12 year old Grandson made use of the playroom and Grandpa was teaching him to play Pool. Madeleine was always very helpful whenever I asked a question. We may be back sometime :-)

  Owner response: Thank you Steve and Janet so very much for your wonderful review regarding my home. It is a perfect location to relax and within easy reach of the parks, malls and restaurants. The pool and spa are a perfect place to be after a hectic time at the parks. It was good to read how the game room was a popular choice as well. I am also glad to read that you took advantage of all that Southview has to offer. I am very proud of the lovely community we have at Lake Berkley and hope to have the pleasure of your company in the near future. Bless you all, Madeleine

  Our family would like to thank you so very much for sharing your exquisite home with us. We had beautiful weather and thoroughly relaxed. The new decor was gorgeous! Our grandkids were very happy to see a bedroom decorated just for them!. The management company came by to check that everything was in working order (which it was). We made some fantastic memories to recall for a very long time. Thank you, again, for your hospitality.

  Dear Madeleine and Denis, Your home was beautiful, just as advertised !!! The kids loved the pool, the game room, and all the tvs. We went to Disney World while there, and two of the children wanted to go back to the house and swim in the pool instead of riding rides. My grandsons did a little fishing, and the two toddlers enjoyed feeding the ducks. I played tennis with two of my grandchildren and we all played pool. Everything that was needed was provided. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the house. After staying there, you don't want to stay in a hotel. It rained during the week we were there, but we still had fun. If we ever take another trip to Florida we would like to stay in your home. Sincerely, Jack and Mary Ann

  Owner response: Mary Ann and Jack I was bowled over by your response. I am so glad you enjoyed what Southview has to offer. We take great pleasure in knowing we have provided a fantastic home for you and your family to enjoy. Sometimes you just have to see it for yourself as we are always being told the pictures do not do it justice. There is something for everyone which we have thought carefully about. We are so happy you had such a wonderful time in our home. Bless you Madeleine xxx

  Southview is a perfect location just 20 minutes from the Disney Parks and two minutes away from many stores and restaurants. The quietness of the neighborhood, mixed with the many activities to do in the area are ideal. My older son and I loved fishing in the pond and caught some nice fish, and we did see a small alligator. The gator will leave you alone if you leave it alone. I would strongly recommend reading the books on the theme parks as well as the area around Southview that are provided by the owner. The books are good at mapping out strategy for the theme parks, and help with the do's and don'ts with wildlife in the area. The community is gated with security on call 24 hrs, providing for a safe atmosphere. We would love to stay again when we are heading to Central Florida for vacation. Warning: When you see all there is to do around Southview, you might not want to be in the hustle and bustle of the Disney Parks. It's a perfect place to relax!!!

  Owner response: Thank you David and Amy so very much for referring to my home as a perfect location to relax. I appreciate your leaving this review for prospective guests to see how close we are to the parks, malls and restaurants. It was good to read how you enjoyed fishing the lake with your son and got to see our small resident alligator too. I am also glad to read that you took advantage of the information pack I leave advising guests where to visit in the immediate area. I am very proud of the lovely community we have at Lake Berkley and our excellent 24 hour gated security. I hope to have the pleasure of your company again soon. Kind regards, Madeleine

  Thank you, Madeleine and Denis--your spacious, clean, well-appointed, inviting home was the perfect place for celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with all our kids and grandkids. The heated pool was perfect for the our 5 little ones under 5 and hot tub was lovely for adults at the end of the day!. Location was excellent for shopping, parks and resort activities.We spent one whole day at Legoland which was so much fun for all ages! Beds were comfy, game room foosball and pool table were a big hit, kitchen had everything we needed and laundry room was great to have for keeping up with 5 kids!! Our grandchildren said it best when they were eating breakfast on the patio by the pool and decided they "wanted to live here forever"!! The adults agreed!! Thank you again for helping us to create such wonderful warm memories for our family. We hope to be back soon.
