Great Villa

If you are looking for a villa close to the parks (Disney, Universal ....) and the Malls, please consider this villa. Based on the pictures the owner published on the site our expectations were high, but in "real live" the villa managed to impress us ever more. This villa has everything our can imagine, and more. A LOT MORE. As soon as we arrived, the condition of the villa and the luxury inside was impressive. We all enjoyed the villa very much, and will promote it to all our friends. The owner can be very proud of this Villa.
Owner response:These comments are very much appreciated. It is very satisfying to know that our villa came up to our guests expectations. I have had many guests from Holland/Netherlands stay on previous occassions and they too have enjoyed their stay. Martin Ford

This was our first time renting a villa in Florida. The whole experience from initial booking, getting to the villa, the property itself and our stay went well beyond our best expectations! This truly is a superb property and made our vacation one of the best that we have ever been on. We would highly recommend this property to anyone considering renting a Villa in Florida. This is really a fantastic property to stay in. We enjoyed this experience so much we are hoping to book again for 2012!

Had a week in the villa just before Christmas. It was lovely to unwind and enjoy the warm weather. The villa offers superb accomadation very well laid out to make the most of the pool area. The Haines City area is good it has every facility you can need yet still retains a rural feel. Driving to and from Orlando, its attractions and the airport is quick and easy.

Très bonne location, Emplacement idéale à quelques minutes des plus grands parcs d'attractions et des outlets sur Orlando. Maison immense, nous étions deux mais la maison est faite sans souci pour 10 personnes La maison ce situe dans une résidence fermer avec d'autres magnifique villa qui fait rêver La piscine et le jacuzzi chauffé sont très appréciable après une longue journée de marche et de voyage dans cette immense état qu'est la Floride. Je recommande cette magnifique maison et ce propriétaire qui été disponible tout le temps toute mes questions Je n'oublierais jamais ces vacances IN ENGLISH Great location. Ideally positioned a few minutes away from the biggest attraction parks and outlet malls in orlando. Massive house, we were only two but it will easily accommodate 10 people. The house is in a closed residence with other magnificent villas which make one dream. The heated jacuzzi and pool are very appreciated after long days of walking and travelling in the the huge state of Florida. I would recommend this magnificent house and owner who was always readily available to answer my questions. I will never forget my holiday.

Fantastic Villa near Legoland

Review Submitted: 11/10/11
The vacation villa was perfect for our family and our travel needs to visit our family in Florida. The house is conveniently close to all of the Disney attractions, plus waterparks, and LegoLand. Within a short drive, either coast is reachable for beach time. The house itself was very clean and well taken care of. The kitchen was stocked with appropriate dishes, with enough skillets and casserole dishes to make meals at home. The bedrooms are large with ample closet space, and each bedroom has access to its own bathroom, which was great for our kids. The pool was a bonus, and kept our kids busy the whole vacation, and is easily seen from the kitchen and living room. The garage is converted into a game room and if the kids weren't in the pool, they were in the game room. We enjoyed staying at this house, and would stay again on future travels to this area. Thanks for a well maintained property. Stacie Powell, Ohio, USA

The villa exceeded all our expectations. Ideally positioned for the theme parks, with local amenities close by. The Villa was imaculate on our arrival and well maintained. We had an issue with the pool lights and the management company rectifyed the problem immediately. It was well equipped with everything anyone would ever need! We had a truly memorable holiday and would recommend Towerlake Calabay Parc. The Owner, Martin Ford was very helpful from the time of booking to the end of our stay in Florida. We will return at some point for a different experience when our 3 children are older. Many thanks, The Smith Family

Review Submitted: 08/19/11
We had, from July 2 to July 21, three fantastic weeks in the beautiful house. We have rented many houses in and around the Disney area, but nothing has been as good as this. The house fully lived up to the description on the Website. Actually, it was better than described. We can only give the house our warmest recommendations if you are planning vacation in Florida. From the first contact and the return of deposits, Martin has been the perfect host. Thanks for any help and instant messages. Michael Hansen. Copenhagen, Denmark.
Owner response:Thank you Michael for your kind comments. I endeavour to provide immediate responses to potential guests queries and those who are staying in order that they can feel relaxed in the knowledge that their stay is as trouble free as possible and that the owner is contactable if necessary. Martin

We decided to take a vacation to Florida with family members (my husband has never been to Florida). We chose this villa because of the lavish accomodations and for the proximity as it was centrally located very close to all of the tourist attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. I especially felt safe staying within the gated community.
Owner response:The location of this property was one of the main reasons for investing in this villa together with the troubefree access to all the Theme Parks. Martin
