WOW!! Even the other villa owners say this about our home, If you are looking for the best go no further. This is strictly for you sun-seekers, as apart from visiting the Mouse; the sun after all is another great reason to visit Florida.
This home has a elegantly shaped 36' x 20' heated 'Hollywood' Style designer-pool,with its on fibre optic light show, changing the colour of the water every 30 seconds on a huge 60’x 54’ south-facing deck, so you can soak up the sun all day, or relax in our enormous 10-person hot-tub, with your friends and family, while watching the magnificent sunset over Star Lake, cool drink in hand, after your grueling day at Disney.
If the heat gets you, relax in the air-conditioned splendour of the villa, and the family room with its gigantic, ceiling hung Plasma T.V. screen with the Home Theatre surround sound, better than a cinema, whilst chilling-out under our unique amazing Chinese cooling fans. If you have the energy how about a game of Air Hockey, Pool, or darts, or the PS-2 games console in the Bada Bing games room, and if the kids are beating you, send them upstairs, while you feign an injury and get yourself a Rolling-Ball Back-rub on one of our two Robotic Massage Chairs,or open your Laptop, and use our Wi-Fi enabled Internet, or why not try your luck, Fishing in our Lake with our Fishing Rods.
When it’s time for bed the cosseting continues, with our sumptuous King pillow-top mattresses in the three masters and the Queen, believe me you just won’t want to get out of these things, and why should you, especially with TV/DVD/VCR 27'/LCD 37' combos in the masters, and 20' TV/DVD combos in all other bedrooms, with over 200 hundred Cable channels, including Fox Sports and the Golf Channel and HBO, we even have a High Powered sound system to pipe music to every room on the ground floor including the lanai and pool deck, part of villa living is the absence of people knocking on your door hassling you to make up the room, so you can stay there as long as you like, after all this is your home for now.
And it has everything you would expect it to have and more; fully equipped kitchen, laundry-room, towels, do not bring anything but your clothes. Any problems, there is a management company on call 24/7 to help you.
This magnificent home is situated between the Moon and Star lakes on Formosa Gardens, in its own ¼ acre lot, assuring you of the privacy that you deserve. If you don't know, Formosa Gardens is renowned throughout the world as the premier gated-community with its close proximity to Disney and shops. This house has been designed in an stunning Oriental theme, and no expense has been spared on this seven-bedroom six-bathroom home.

There are not enough accolades for this property! It is fabulous. Where do I begin? Rooms are spacious and the decoration throughout is noteworthy of photos and googling Chinese culture. You will be spoiled with silk pillows in the living area with multi-recliners and sofas. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, along with all the little things you forget (ex. Scissors, etc). More dishes and pots and pans than in your own kitchen! Each bedroom has it's own TV and walk in shower. Tubs for the 2 larger downstairs. The pool is more than incredible! Have it heated for sure. That and the spa and lighting will make you think you are in heaven! My children and grandsons had a wonderful time and the Godfrey's were a dream to deal with!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Hi Jo. Thank you for your fantastic review, my I return the compliment, and say that you and your Family, where a dream to deal with as well. Regards Alan.

Excellent property for family gathering in Disney. We were there at Christmas. The parks were crowded as expected but there was plenty of room in the house for everyone to get some space. Pool and hot tub are a significant part of the holiday and was filled with kidsnwell into the evening. Clean and well managed. Online pictures are true to what you will find. Enjoy.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you for your review, I am glad you had a lovely Christmas Vacation, and hope to see you again some day.

The house was perfect for our family reunion of 14 people. It is near all the attractions and on the prettiest,most private lot in the subdivision, looking out on the lake. The roads in the area were very quiet which was nice for walking and running. We all enjoyed the pool and eating meals out in the lanai. It was very reassuring to be able to contact Alan so easily regarding every aspect of the rental. There are many extras like towels and baby equipment but we were glad to have the Winn Dixie close for things like kleenex, paper towels, soap,cleaners. All in all a great experience and we would certainly recommend this property.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your review, it is always my intention never to let anyone down, so I always make myself extremely accessable to my Guests.

From start to finish, dealing with Alan was an absolute joy. After initial email communication, Alan was very quick to pick up the phone and call me to discuss any questions I had regarding the booking process. Alan spoke very highly of his Florida home and when we arrived we weren't disappointed. The villa is simply stunning and has absolutely everything you could possibly need. Upon arrival we discovered the BBQ wasn't working so we called the management company. Within 30 minutes a very pleasant man called Pete arrived, checked the BBQ and told us he'd replace it that day. An hour later Pete returned with a brand-new BBQ which was fantastic. Our entire 2 week stay was faultless - I really can't enthuse enough about the villa. There were 11 of us (9 adults and 2 children) but the villa is so large that we really felt at home - never cramped or getting under each other's feet. The location of the villa is also ideal. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby and of course, all of the parks are very close and so easy to get to. We hope to return to Orlando within the next few years and when we do I'll definitely be in contact with Alan straight away! This villa made our stay the holiday of a lifetime!!!! Thanks Alan!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Everything about this home and my dealings with the owner is first class. The home was as advertised and then some. Alan went above and beyond meeting the needs of my family during our stay last week. I have no reservations at all recommending this property. If you are looking for a beautiful home to stay in, thats within 15 minutes of all the Disney Parks as well as Universal Studios, for a large group, then this is the home for you. Alan I hope to see you again in the near future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

I have just returned from taking 11 teenagers to a tournament in Orlando. We usually stay in hotels. This was my first time to rent a home. First of all, Alan is very helpful. He called me a couple of times to answer questions. The house is in a great location. Close to I-4 which takes you to Disney, Universal and ESPN Sports complex. The neighborhood and home are very secure. The house is large and roomy. My group had plenty of room to spread out. The pool area, game room, den and kitchens areas are very nice for the group to gather. It was very helpful having a laundry room in the house and not down the hall or down the street. There are tons of restaurants very close to the house as well as a Wind Dixie at the end of the street. The house was very nice and clean. If I ever take a group back to Orlando, I will be calling Alan again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/4

We rented this place for a combination wedding and family reunion and there were 14 adults and 5 kids (under 6). Plenty of room to spread out and the pool area is really fantastic with plenty of seating, tables, etc! Suggest you call ahead day of arrival (I wish we had) because the place was not ready for us at our 5PM check-in. Somehow they expected us the next day! I will say that the mgmt office was very responsive and had cleaning staff and TV tech (the main TV was inoperable) at the office and all was made ready (but not until about 7PM for 5PM check-in). Other than that "glitch", the house was "as advertised" and provided comfortable accommodations for our large family group, in a nice setting.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: I am sorry this happened, its the first time it has, and was due to a simple mix up by the Cleaning Crew, on the dates, but we sorted it as soon as possible, and Jim had the Home a couple of hours late.

Year Purchased: 2003
About the owner: The photo is Joye and I on Vacation in Sorrento Italy, at her neices wedding, after Joye was made redundant from her job at the Bank of America, where she had worked for 21 years in the UK. we both loved to travel, so that was an ideal time to get out and see the world, I, after many years in the Sign Business, had a Heart By-Pass, so decided now was the time to Retire.
Why the Owner Chose Celebration:
When you drive into Formosa Gardens, you will answer that question yourself, it is just so different from anything around, the Disney area, and the homes are so big and in there own grounds.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
We have just about everything in the place, the Fans, The Massage Chairs, the Lake, and that Hollywood Pool.
CORPORATE PARTIES...Why stay in a dingy hotel and pay through the nose for it, more and more companies are now booking rental homes,during there convention or sales meetings, and getting a beautiful home, with you own private pool, at a fraction of the cost of a hotel room...Email or call me, for the prices and dates.
