A Wonderful Respite

Guest: Phyllis G.
Date of Stay: 09/17/11 Review Submitted: 09/27/11

This was a great way to visit Orlando. After being in crowds all day at Disney, it was a wonderful respite. Around 2 pm, my son and niece would say, "Can we just go back home to the pool?" The home is lovely and well kept. The layout was perfect for our needs. My husband and I enjoyed the master bedroom with an adjacent bathroom, which led out to the pool area. Guests enjoyed privacy in their own space. The open kitchen/living area made for great visits. I'll have to admit--my favorite part was sitting in the jacuzzi at night with a daiquiri staring up at the stars. It was so peaceful. Thank you for sharing your lovely home, Amanda.

Exquisite Villa

Guest: Kathryn (England)
Date of Stay: 05/21/11 Review Submitted: 06/07/11

We have just returned from a perfect holiday in Florida which was made all the more special by this exquisite and luxurious villa. After the heat and crowds of the theme parks it was wonderful to return to and relax by the lovely pool overlooking the conservation area. The resort of Windsor Palms was highly maintained and, being a gated community, very quiet and safe. And it is only 5-10 minutes drive from the Disney area and 5 minutes drive from a vast aray of restaurants, many of whom do a take-out service. The villa is beautifully decorated and maintained to a high and excellent standard. It is as wonderful as the pictures show. The air conditioned games room was a perfect retreat on a hot afternoon. We liked the door which lead directly to a bathroom from the patio/pool area. Great for the kids so they don't have to walk through the villa when they are dripping wet! The service we received from Amanda was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and she gave excellent advice as to the amenties in the local area. We felt our booking was very safe in her hands. Everything was faultless and we highly recommend this villa. You will not be disappointed.

FABULOUS! FABULOUS! FABULOUS!

This villa is the absolute perfect place to stay for all ages. We had two teenagers, a one and a half year old, two grandparents and three parents and we all found something to suite our fancy. Grandpa and the kids loved the game room and everyone loved the pool and the spa...especially after a long day at the parks. The house is clean, spacious (perfect if you have a little one...no stairs and I could always keep my eye on him), and very tastefully decorated. You truly feel like you are at "home" and not at a rental property. The south facing pool is the best (literally sun ALL day) and the conservation view is splendid. In the future I will not settle for anything less....I love looking at the wooded land versus another pool! The best part is the owner, Amanda. When I was looking at homes I emailed twenty people or more and she was the only one to call me...and she is in the UK while I'm in the US! She is pleasant and very, very helpful. She did not apply any pressure, yet gave me lots of information about rental properties and what features to look for. After we set up the rental she responded quickly to all of my questions (and I had a lot of questions!!) and she was very helpful with vacation planning in general. A true delight to work with!! We did have one slight problem with the spa and I contacted Amanda and the office and they fixed it right away! They are very on top of things and very easy to work with as well! I will most definitely refer this property to friends and family and I look forward to returning in a couple of years when my son can really appreciate all the Orlando has to offer! Thanks Amanda! It was wonderful!!

Gorgeous Home Away from Home

We LOVED the Florida villa-the home was just beautiful-very well kept and clean-the pool was just what we had hoped for-our teenagers and toddler both enjoyed the pool and hot-tub, unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate so we didn't spend as much time in the pools as we had hoped-I would definitely stay at the home again.

Lovely villa near to Walt Disney World etc

Guest: V (London, UK.)
Date of Stay: 10/16/10 Review Submitted: 11/16/10

My family and I loved staying in this quiet villa, in a lovely residential area. It is clean, well equipped, well maintained and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, which are maintained as well as the house. It is close to shops and restaurants, which made for an easy holiday. And of course it's very close to Walt Disney World and the other theme parks. It's near enough to pop back for lunch and a siesta, and then return later on, if you choose to! The owners are helpful, providing useful information about the house, surrounding area and how to make the most of your stay. For example, they gave us tips on which parks to go to, where to get tickets, where to park, where to shop on arrival and so on. All very useful. So I would recommend this villa for a family like ours (2 adults and 3 young children). And I'm also sure that familes with children of any ages would find this their ideal base for a holiday in Florida.

Holiday Summer 2010

Guest: Amanda (Essex, England)
Date of Stay: 07/10/10 Review Submitted: 09/15/10

Our first time to Orlando and what a fantastic holiday we had. The villa was better than the description - a lovely setting with spacious rooms, all extremely well furnished. The property was clean and very well maintained with fully functional air conditioning. The private pool was a God send, situated with a view to the conservation area and evenings were well spent chatting in the hot tub. The villa is extremely well placed for access to all the theme parks, shopping, restaurants and the airport. The owners were so helpful, with very good knowledge of the area, which really helped when coming to plan our holiday and we can't thank them enough. It is obvious that the owners take great pride in this property and we would recommend this villa without hesitation. Can't wait to return!

Owner response:We are delighted that you all had a great holiday, it was our pleasure to pass on the tips that help make the most of your stay. We do try very hard keep the villa decorated and maintained to a high standard, which does seem to mean we get many returning guests!

Beautiful Villa

Guest: coco27 (Ontario, Canada)
Date of Stay: 08/20/10 Review Submitted: 09/04/10

What a fun week we had in your beautiful villa! All decor and furnishings were tastefully done and exactly as described and pictured in your listing. Everything looked newly painted - no scuff marks on the walls or worn carpeting. Nothing looked tired or worn out. We also enjoyed all the little extras that made this villa so special - a large supply of large/thick towels for the bath and pool area, plenty of dishes/cutlery, jacuzzi tub, pool toys, books/puzzles, games room - tons of things to keep the kids busy. The pool deck looked newly painted and had a very secure fence surrounding it that was easy for adults to open but kept our kids safe. The pool was very private and it was lovely to relax in and look out at the surrounding conservation area. We all enjoyed the game room very much, particularly the ping pong table. The location of the villa is great - very close to Disney parks and great shopping and restaurants. The clubhouse also has a lovely pool area which we enjoyed one afternoon. Amanda was a dream to work with - very quick to reply to questions and made the transaction very simple and easy. We've stayed at two other properties in Windsor Palms but find this villa to be the best. Would stay here again in a heart beat!

Superb Holiday..

Date of Stay: 06/15/10 Review Submitted: 07/06/10

We have stayed in several villas before, but from now on we will always return to this particular villa. The owner has thought of everything and communicates well. The villa is very close to the parks & the 192 and is only 20 mins from orlando Airport. Very private around the pool area. It is very clean, well equiped and beautifully decorated. Windosr Palms is a fantastic gated coomunity, and this villa is the best we have stayed in on this estate. All in all an superb holiday home for a terrific holiday, whether you intend to hit the parks or have a more relaxing holiday.

Another fantastic stay

This was our second stay at this lovely villa and if possible it was even better than the first. The addition of the fan in the lounge is great during the hot weather and the new television is also a nice touch. The house is spotless with every amenity you could want, Amanda is as helpful as ever making the booking and arrival process a dream. I would not hesitate in recommending this villa to anyone
