    • Southview is idyllic. A beautiful villa, very well equiped, with a south facing pool area looking out over a peaceful lake. Lake Berkley is a secure and well appointed community with good recreational facilities. Siuated very close to the Wal-Mart and close to the Poinciana Boulevard it makes for easy access to shopping and easy travel to the parks and beyond. As a group of eight, we had great fun and were sorry to leave! Madeleine and Denis, the owners, are great people to deal with and very supportive through booking, the stay, and afterwards. Snap up a booking in this villa if you can!

    • We have just returned from a 2 week stay at this wonderful villa. The location is perfect, just off the 192, so close to all the attractions and restaurants, with the added bonus of a super walmart just down the road. The villa was extremely comfortable, clean, spacious and well equipped, with lovely views over the lake. The owners couldn't have been more friendly or helpful from the very first contact. All in all highly recommended

    • We stayed for three nights and had a fabulous time. It was an excellent respite from the heat and crowds at Disney. My four year old son says the pool and game room were his favorite parts of the whole vacation! Madeleine has been extremely friendly and prompt about everything.

    • We had a great time staying in Southview on our recent golf holiday in Orlando. We found the house great, with great space and every comfort. The kids (43-71 year olds)loved the games room. If you lost the golf you might win the pool. Each of the 5 of us had our own bedroom, with TV, all for the price of 1 room in a hotel. Why book anywhere else if South View is available. I am going back in Oct to do the theme parks with my family, and immediately tried to book South View, it would be ideal for a family holiday, as is near all the Disney parks, restuarents etc. 5 Happy Paddy's looking forward to our next trip.

    • When it is your first time booking an online reservation of a home in another country and taking responsibility for the comfort and enjoyment of 10 people you are vacationing with.....it can be scary to trust and take the plunge. Booking with the Locks was a truly pleasant experience all around. Every single thing about the place was EXACTLY as described but when you see it for real it appears even more beautiful. It was the holiday of our dreams. The surrounding community had every convenience and many attractions enjoyable for all different age groups and interests. The girls went shopping, the boys went golfing the kids went mini golfing and go-karting besides being a very short distance from all of the major attractions and then there was the heated pool and hot tub to enjoy! Madeleine and Denis have thought of everything. They have a binder full of advise, hints, tips and maps of the Disney parks and surrounding area. The home was also beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. Thank God there are people like them out there making dreams come true for others at a very reasonable rate. Thanks for all of your hard work and friendly chat. Margo and Dean and extended vacationing family.

    • Madie & Denis My Family & I stayed at Madie & Denis house at Southview in July. This was the best vacation we have been on. The house is absolutely beautiful, it has everything you need to washer, drier, full kitchen with all the things you need for cooking ect. ect. to make your stay enjoyable. You have a nice view of the lake right in your back yard, where you can go fishing if you like. Walmart is just down the road. Everything is just minutes away. Madie & Denis are very nice people they help us in alot of things we needed. For them to be in the U.K their house is so well kept eveything you see in the pictures is what you get a beautiful house but much bigger in person. I recommend this house to anybody. Oh also the beds are like sleeping on clouds!!!!! Thank Madie & Denis we will be back soon everything was great!!! much love

    • We so enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. The heated pool was most enjoyable and we had a great time. I can't see why anyone would pay hotel prices when your place is available. It had everything my family needed and we would certainly stay there again. It was so nice to have a place to come back to with the kids that we could treat like home.

    • We have had a wonderful time in the villa it was very homely and well situated. The young at heart enjoyed Disney and the thrill seekers enjoyed universal they felt it more suited to what they wanted. Make sure you make time to take an airboat ride and see the wildlife we went to boggy creek and it was excellent. If you go to the Kennedy centre make sure you leave here early we encountered long queues when we got there between the tour stops and couldn’t finish it in a day. We also took a day up at the beach near Sarasota which was beautiful. We had Christmas lunch up at Gaylord palms which we would thoroughly recommend. We used the Florida transportation taxi company. If you want quick good value food try ponderosa down the 192. We also like Olive Garden (just past publix) food was good and service too, though there was a long wait to get a table. Thank you maddie and denis for letting us use your lovely villa and for making our stay as pleasant as possible. We hope to come back soon

    • We have just had our second holiday in your superb house. This time we took our two daughters and their families and we all had enough space still to do our own thing! The games room was much appreciated, especially by the boys, and the pool provided hours of daytime fun and a wonderful setting for the occasional evening meal. The open, quiet and southerly aspect, with the continous sunshine and uninterrupted view of the lake gives this whole site a delightful feeling. The furnishings and equipment could not be faulted, especially the size of the fridge and washer/dryer. The house is very concenient for all the Disney attractions etc, and the nearby Walmart is a bonus for supplies. We hope to make a further visit soon.

    • My family and i stayed at Southview in Feb. 2005,this property is the best we have stayed at in over 23 years of frequently visiting Florida. The location is just about perfect whether you are visiting disney or any of the major theme parks with the added bonus of a supersized Wal Mart just a short stroll away. You will not be disappointed with the house either as it is large,airy with all the conveniances you will need. We loved the new games room with its tv, playstation,air hockey and true running pool table. Outside is the pool overlooking a nice sized lake,great sunny aspect.The pool/spa is clean and well maintained and provided you use the cover supplied the water is always a perfect temperature if you require the heater during the winter months.I can not finish without mentioning the owners Madeleine and Dennis,excellent to work with and genuinely concerned that every detail is to your satisfaction. I just hope it is available on my next Florida vacation. Gary Miller
