  There are not enough words to describe this excellent home! We traveled to Florida over spring break to take the kids to Disney World. There were six of us in total (ranging from 5 years old to 67 years old) and this home was the perfect size. There was more than enough room for all of us. The pictures do not do it justice! The home is large with a great layout, clean, comfortable, quiet, cozy, efficient - equipped with everything you need in terms of the kitchen utensils and linens. The pool area was beyond our expectations. Great west view to Tower Lake. The pool and spa were the perfect size and the kids must have logged 60 hours of swimming in 6 days - they preferred it to Disney World! The home is conveniently located close to grocery stores. Disney was 20 minutes away but did not feel like a 20 minute drive. The Premium Outlets were only about 20 minutes away and we found some great dining options in Celebration and Winter Haven - again only a short drive away. We found ourselves eating in most often; however, as we did not want to leave the house! The owners are fantastic to deal with. They are very on top of things and in very close contact. Their system for checking in and checking out was so easy!! Wonderful, wonderful people to work with!!!! I would recommend this home to anyone looking to travel to the Orlando area. Should we be looking at a return trip, this will be the home we will first look to for a rental. Just a great, great, great home!!! We miss it a lot already!!!!

  Owner response: Thank you for the nice comments. We continue to look for ways to improve our place and enjoy having the opportunity to share it with people who take care of it. We hope to see you agai in the future.

  Bill was very easy to get ahold of, I had questions before booking, after the booking and once we got to his house. He is just an email or a phone call away. There were 8 of us that stayed in the house. It had plenty of room, and the kids had a blast. The game room was a huge bonus. The kids loved the pool and hot tub as well. We had a great vacation and the rental house was perfect.

  The owners were great to work with! Everything about this rental, from the time we reserved it to check out, was so easy! We were visiting family in Winter Haven for the holiday so we were looking for something convenient as opposed to specific criteria so that kind of made narrowing our choices down a little more difficult. We chose this house because the owners were incredibly fast to respond to our request for confirmation if the days were still available and are so very glad that we did! The owners were always quick to respond with any questions that we had and they detailed any fees that would be included, as well as possible add-ins, so we knew exactly what to expect. I have to admit, because we were looking for location as opposed to amenities, I didn't even realize there was a game room in the house until the next day - and that's only because I happened to read the VRBO description while waiting for the kids to get ready! Turned out that the house was better than I could have hoped for! I loved that the kitchen opened up to the living room so I was not separated from the family as I cooked and they watched tv.. There was also a tv in every room so everybody was able to have their own private time if they wanted to. My husband and I didn't have enough time to get to enjoy the hot tub but we were able to enjoy the large 2-person garden tub in the main master bath so we were glad for that. Having 2 master bedrooms plus 2 twins beds in the other 2 bedrooms makes this home ideal for two families traveling together. We wanted 4 bedrooms so that each of the boys could have their own room but the 2 younger ones wanted to share so that was nice having that option. The entire house was very spacious and we really liked the fact that the bedrooms weren't all grouped together. We didn't get to enjoy the game room nearly as much as we would have liked but it was definitely great having it available so that the kids weren't just sitting around watching tv. The house was incredibly clean and the "rules" were incredibly detailed so that we knew exactly what we needed to do upon checkout. All in all, we did not set out to find a house this nice during the last minute of holiday travel but are so thankful that we did! I have definitely put this on my list for when we visit again. Both the house and the owners get 5 stars from us!

  The villa was very comfortable and it was like being at home. The villa is very clean and well maintained. The house is even better than the description. I would like to thank Bill for all his help answering my questions . I would definitely recommend this villa to friends and family and will rent again on my next trip to Florida.

  We could not have asked for more, most properties "pad the resume" but Cherokee Villa was as good as described (better actually). While my family and I are familiar with the area it would have been easy to get around if we did not. If you want a quite neighborhood close to all the attractions without being smothered by them, this is your place! Thanks Bill and Beth,

  We rented last minute and were very pleased we stayed here. The place was super clean and very functional. The pool was refreshing and the location is wonderful. The sub division is very quiet and relaxing. The area is very safe and easy to walk around the neighborhood. Bill was a delight to work with and we would love to rent again from him. The furnishings were clean and newer.

  We stayed for a week with our 3 kids. Every child had their own room which is a huge benefit. The place is very roomy and comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the game room. We have stayed at numerous places on VRBO and never found one with a game room so a very nice extra. We went to Disney World one day and it is only about 20 minutes away so we were able to come home in the afternoon to take a break before going back for the evening shows. We had no issues with anything in the house. The keyless entry is very convenient. Having to attain the keys is sometimes difficult with places especially as we came in very late on Saturday night. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

  I stayed here with my two children in mid-March and found the home exactly as described on the VRBO website. Photos were accurate and everything in the kitchen was well-stocked, as stated in the description. The house is close enough to Disney and Legoland to see everything easily while in the area. View from pool over the lake is beautiful, and a great way to have your morning coffee. We enjoyed having a pool and hot tub to come home to every afternoon after leaving the parks. It was perfect! Owners are very communicative and returned my deposit immediatly after we departed. We will be back!

  We really enjoy the more relaxed and spacious atmosphere of a house over a hotel room. The pool was nice for those days when we just wanted to take a few hours to relax after hitting the parks. The owners were very helpful, even checking on us during our stay to make sure everything was okay. And it was. Would rent again. One hint, use Turkey Lake/Palm Pkwy to bypass some of the traffic near the parks. And the nearby Dunkin' Donuts has a very nice selection. :)
