Why the Owner Chose Southern Dunes
We just totally fell in love with Southern Dunes the moment we drove in.....its so peaceful and beautiful with the rolling fairways meandering all around the houses and so much green space. It just knocks spots off all the other developments in our view and we looked at lots!
Our villa just seemed so big and spacious and we could see that we could easily make it really lovely for our guests and just something a bit different to all the others.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our villa is very different to all the others around Orlando and that's on purpose! The villa has a modern style and
it's also stacked with every possible gadget and luxury item you can think of. So you'll find a great coffee machine, new bedding, fresh towels AND stacks of beach towels, hairdriers in every bathroom, a family first aid kit, games room fully kitted out to keep the youngsters happy so that the grown-ups can get some much-deserved r&r by the pool. Plus of course flat screen TVS, surround sound, fab stereo with iPod dock, Wireless Internet everywhere - even by the pool.....! (does make life so easier when you NEED to know where all the malls are, what time the fireworks are at disney etc......)

We had a great time at the house, the weather really didn't have much of an effect on us, the storms seamed to happen mainly late in the day or when we were in the car. Your house was lovely & your management company are superb, we called them twice & on both occasions they were very quick & helpful. I'll be looking to rent your house again next summer, for august / sepetember thanks again Gary & Family

We had a great time staying at Palm Villa. The home was nicely furnished and had plenty of space for our family. The extra beach towels and linens were definitely appreciated! My kids looked forward to jumping in the pool after a day at Disney. We also loved the game room and enjoyed ping pong and pool tournaments during the week. Palm Villa had the nicest patio furnishings of any villa we have stayed at. Very nicely equipped, as close to home as you get on a vacation! The owners were very quick with email inquiries and the management company was friendly upon arrival. Highly recommended!

Just wanted to say how fantastic we thought the villa was. Southern Dunes was nice and peaceful and a welcome retreat from Disney. The villa itself was perfect for us, and the little touches really made a difference. The Sat Nav system was excellent, and it certainly saved a few arguments (pity we didn't have it trying to get out of the car rental lot in Miami. We got a bit lost and ended up in a rather dodgy looking part of town...I was convinced we were going to get shot!!!) The wi-fi really helped, especially with the poor weather, it meant we could plan in advance and make the most out of our day. We even used it to Skype the grandparents. I, like you love my coffee, so the coffee machine really got a big thumbs up, nothing better than having it ready freshly brewed for our 6am wake up call from the kids. The villa was spotless when we arrived, and really felt homely, the modern presentation was spot on for us...We're not big fans of the 80's Chintz that seems to run wild in some of the other villas we looked at!!! The kids loved the pool and the games room, although I am a bit disappointed, at 5 and 3 the girls didn't really turn into the pool demons I thought they would. So all in all a wonderful holiday, spent in top quality accommodation, we would certainly recommend Palm Villa to friends and family, and when I can save the money, we will go back, and would have no hesitation in staying in the same place again.

Just a few lines to say what a great time we had staying at Palm Villa. From the moment of contacting you, everything went so smoothly, that we would definitely consider returning in the future. Booking was simple, communication was great, details and directions to Palm Villa were accurate and straightforward and the support from the mgmt co was both efficient and reassuring. Along with the expected comfortable rooms and furnishings, the Villa has many of the things that are needed for an enjoyable stay in the Orlando area, especially the Golf facilities on site, the well maintained pool and the games room for the kids. Thank you, Joe & Eileen Clayton October 2008
