Lovely Home

I have been to Florida many times in the last ten years and stayed at various places and I can honestly say this is the best home I've ever stayed. This spacious home has rooms that are beautifully furnished with comfortable beds in each of the bedrooms. This was the only home that I have stayed at that has offered a computer with Internet service, which was especially helpful if you wanted to look up area attractions or find driving directions from the property. Not only is there a giant screen television is the living room (as well as tvs in each of the bedrooms) and an inground swimming pool, but there is also an awesome gameroom with a nice pool table and air hockey table. You won't regret renting this home for your next vacation.

Hi Skeeter, This house was amazing! It has everything you can think of and then some! Our family truly enjoyed staying at your villa. The pool was great, the deck was awesome, the layout of the house was great, all the rooms were very spacious (and we needed that since we have twins!) the game room was much enjoyed by our kids and grandpa! The location was a little drive away from I-4 but it wasn't a big deal once you got the hang of it. Shopping,groceries,entertainment were a bit of a drive but when you're on vacation who cares right??! I had my doubts before going that maybe it wouldn't be all it was decorated to be but to my surprise it was perfect! Oh yes and one big detail that I loved was that the neighborhood was soooo peaceful. After a couple of days I kinda felt I lived there! lol! I'm from Miami so I know what loud is and that's not at all what you experience at Skeeter's luxury home! Thanks again Skeeter your home was such a pleasure to stay in ...we are even considering renting it for the holidays! God bless!

Owner response:Janet & Family, We are so glad you had a wonderful vacation in the Disney area and found "Skeeter's Villa" to be more than the expected advertisement. With a big family of 23 ourselves - we have tried to make it accommodating to the "whole family". You are right - the first drive to the villa seems long. But, actually it's only about a mile to the Post Office annex, a new Dollar General, 3 miles to Publix Grocery, CVS Pharmacy, Gas stations and Banks, and only 6 miles to I-4. We appreciate you choosing our home for your vacation, and welcome you back anytime. We decorate our home for Christmas / New Year's guest! Skeeter & Sandy

We had a wonderful time. The house was nice and clean and a short 10 minute drive up to the Disney properties. The layout of the house provided a great general area for everyone to socialize and a nice area upstairs for the kids to sit and chat and play games. The kids spent a lot of time in the pool - it was maintained well and clean. Plus there was plenty of room for everybody to sleep. I would stay there again.

Owner response:Thanks Bob for that wonderful review. We appreciate your choosing our home for you stay in the Disney area. We look forward to having you visit again soon.

Skeeter's villa is a great house for a large group. The photos on the website DO reflect what the house actually looks like. The house was clean and ready for our arrival. The community is in a quiet area but close to Disney and other attractions. We were at Disney within 20 minutes without much trouble. The homeowner called the day of our arrival to see if we liked the house, and this was a nice touch. We had a small issue with the internet and it was addressed promptly. There were plenty of things for everyone to do when we were at the house. The gameroom provided lots of entertainment, the older kids played playstation 2, and there were movies to watch and games to play also. We enjoyed the pool very much also. The water was very warm and we were able to swim on a cool December day. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, although we didn't cook much during our stay. There are plenty of bath towels provided, too. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Skeeter's Villa and we would rent this house again. I would highly recommend this house to others.

Your home is lovely and worked so well for us as a family of 8 (which included 4 kids, an adult niece and one grandma). My littler ones, aged 5 and 7, were in hog heaven with the pool. I think they may have slept in their bathing suits just to be ready to hop in as soon as they woke up! And grandma polished off a couple of trashy novels while sitting poolside each morning. One particular morning we got a visit from the sand cranes. In addition to giving us quite a dancing show off the edge of the patio, they stepped up and ate crackers right out of our hands. My kids are still talking about that! We had a fabulous week of water fun, beaches and amusement parks, and it was a real treat to have a big, beautiful, clean home to return to in the evening. Your kitchen is particularly well stocked with dishes, pans and appliances, the game room is a 10, and overall the house is really beautifully decorated and very nicely maintained. Two suggestions: First, it would be really helpful if you could add a patio umbrella sometime in the future. The afternoon sun is harsh, even if you like the heat. Nothing fancy, just someplace to get a little shade if you are not a swimmer. Second, you should advertise the fact that your home includes beach towels on your website and VRBO listing. I have stayed in other rental homes in the past, and have never had them provided. You may not realize what a bonus that is to people like us who arrive there to enjoy the beaches. Given the ever increasing cost of airline luggage, not having to pack one full suitcase of just beach towels is a big deal. Take credit for that! Overall, we had a wonderful vacation, and your home was a big part of making it so nice. Thanks so much. Kelly & Family
