My family stayed in this Villa for 9 nights in March of 2013. We had 6 adults and 8 kids and there was plenty of room for all of us in this beautiful home. We are hoping to go back to Florida in a few years and looking forward to renting this home again. The owners Gill and Ed are wonderful people to deal with and made renting a home for the 1st time a breeze. Thanks again Gill and Ed look forward to dealing with you in the future.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Home away from home!

This was a home away from home for 10 family and friends for 5 days. The home is situated in a lovely community. Close to highway exits and major stores within a mile. Lots of restaurants along the route to choose from should you want to venture out. It is exactly as described and the photos are true to form. The total atmosphere is warm and inviting from the moment you enter the home. The open concept is specious, well maintained and clean. The decor is exquisite. The endless supplies of linen, kitchen appliances, dishes and glassware was perfect for our large party. The bedrooms are well decorated and apart from each other to be able to maintain your privacy and a bit of sanity! Not to mention the 5 bathrooms!!! The pool and spa alone was the place to be.. even in November. There is a large game room with plenty to do and if we stayed longer we may have taken advantage of it. (this was a big hit with my son as he is a sports fan.. he thinks you should have more Boston memorabilia instead of Chicago!) Everyone wants to come back to this home.. Its just a matter of time. Thank you Ed and Gill for providing such a warm and friendly home. It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Until we rent again!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Everything at this Villa was perfect, and exactly as promised! We had so much fun and utilized everything it had to offer, especially the beautiful pool! It was very close to needed amenities (Walmart, CVS). It was spotless when we got there! Everything was stocked very well like the dishes, towels, etc. I'm so thankful we got to spend our trip here and will definitely be coming back! Christina BrownDid you find this review helpful?

We just returned from the most amazing family vacation @ Florida Star. I found this amazing house on Home Away and this was the first time that we had ever considered renting a house instead of staying on Disney property. I must admit I was very nervous renting from complete strangers but Gill & Ed were very understanding doing whatever they could to put my mind at ease. Upon arrival we found the home spotless (and I own my own house cleaning company!) The home is just beautiful and it is equipped with everything that you could possibly need. Rest assure the home looks exactly as you see it in the photos. We had only spent 1 day here and I was already on the house computer emailing Ed & Gill to book another week here next year!! I'm sad to say that the home is not available next August but we are looking forward to returning in 2014 - it is worth the wait. If you are looking for an amazing family vacation your search is over.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We had a fantastic time at the Florida Star! Seven bedrooms keeps even the largest family (ies) from piling up on the floor! This huge home sleeps 14 in the beds with two other fold-outs! The kitchen has everything you could ask for, with all appliances available, up to date, and in good working order! You'll love the whisper quiet dishwasher. The garage has been madeover into a game room with a foosball table, an air hockey table, and a pool table! Ambiance is added with assorted sports photos and memorabilia. Out back, you'll enjoy the swimming pool and spa, perfect for use after a day at Disney, Universal, or any other activity! An added benefit is the wonderful owners you'll encounter, Gill and Ed. They will stay in contact with you and willingly answer any questions you might have. They were very gracious to us giving us an extra day on the front end of our stay to accommodate some unusual circumstances.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

Superb luxury home for relaxing. Stayed during April 2011.Reservation transaction was simple and straight forward. Near to Disney so that traffic is not an issue. Wonderfully clean and well maintained. Nicely kept neighborhood close to shopping. Internet access was wonderful to use in planning trips to restaurants and theme parks. Our IPAD connected seamlessly. Great value and highly recommended! LS, Northern Virginia, USADid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We just returned from a week in Florida and were extremely pleased with the Villa in Glenbrook. Very clean and spacious it accomodated 15 of us and could have probably fit another 4-5 comfortably. Very quiet area and a short drive to all ammenities. Pool was awesome ( i would recommend you pay for heating). The Kids spent most of their time in the pool at all hours. You can't get better for the price. Thanks Ed and Gill. .Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/4

I cannot say enough about this house! Absolutely beautiful from the minute you walk in the front door. Ever room is decorated beautifully and the entire house is IMMACULATE! Fully stocked with all the linens you could need - enough towels to keep you there for a month - dishes, glasses, etc. Washer and dryer so that we could come home with clean clothes - game room with pool, air hockey, foos ball so we could shower, dress, and relax in peace while the kids kept busy and a beautiful pool/hot tub/deck area. By far the BEST vacation stay ever - better than ANY rental home or hotel I've ever stayed in! 150% recommended!!!! .Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We had such a wonderful time! Florida Star Villa was more beautiful than we imagined. Everything was amazing! The house was huge & beautifully decorated, perfect for multi families. We were so comfortable and the amenities in the home were just awesome. The pool was so much fun, we swam every single day/night & the kids loved it. The game room was so cool, we played for hours each night. We find ourselves missing the house everyday now, especially all the great new appliances. It was just wonderful, you thought of everything & it really was perfect. We will be back as soon as we can & I will recommend your Villa to everyone. Thank you, thank you, thank you. .Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

This large villa was more beautiful than we imagined. The amenties in the home were awesome and just perfect for mulit-families. The home is large and well stocked with new appliances and everything you'll need for a perfect vacation, just stop to pick up food & wine. Great pool, gorgeous bedrooms, enough towels for an army and good location. We can't wait to go back!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.

Great Disney house!

This was a great house. Lots of rooms for our 11. Our family enjoyed the game room and the spa! It was close to all we went to. About 30 min.to Disney and close to shopping stores. The only bad thing was they had a mice problem and when it was clean they did not get up the mice droppings! We had to clean some. This went back to the people who cleans. Also the pool we could not enjoy because the water would never get warm enough. We enjoyed it on 1 day. It would cool down too much at night. The heater was set to go off at night and without a pool cover it lost too much heat at night. Since the days only got up to low to mid 80's it did not warm up enough to go swimming. Do not pay for pool heat! It does not get hot enough to go swimming. But we would return to this home again if we ever go back to Fl. The owner is supper nice and always helpful! We will recommend it to friends(hopeful they will take care of the mice droppings!)Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.

My family stayed at the Florida Star villa in February 2009. The house was beautifully decorated and had all of the necessary accessories. It was in a very quiet neighborhood with no neighbors in the rear of the home. The house was clean, the gameroom was a blast and the pool and spa were very relaxing after long days at the parks. The house was about 15 minutes to Disney and 25 minutes to Sea World / Universal. It was located about 1/2 mile to a Super WalMart as well as other local restraunts and supermarkets. If you are looking for a great place to stay, I would highly recommend this home.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

We stayed at the Florida Star from 12/31-1/4. We were so pleased that the villa was exactly as it looked online! We even saw the fireworks from Disney in the distance! The drive to Disney is much quicker if you take 192 and stay clear of I-4. I think it was 10 miles, probably not 10 minutes though with traffic. We had 12 people at the villa and we all fit comfortably. There was so much to do! We played air hockey, pool, darts, and foosball in the game room. The hot tub was so nice a cool night! The 50" LCD TV was great! We hooked up our XBox and played Rockband. We grilled out two of the nights and went to CityWalk at Universal to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday. There are many places to golf right near the villa, as well. My husband and the guys went to Legends golf course...very beautiful and it cost less than $40 to play 18 holes. The Super Wal-Mart is about 1 mile down the street from the villa and they have anything that you would ever need for your stay...even a liquor store! There is a Walgreens within walking distance. My husband and I would definitely go back there and so would the other 10 people we were with. This is really the perfect place to celebrate a birthday, holiday (they even have a Christmas tree) or a family reunion. We did not have any trouble with crime. We felt very safe in the neighborhood. I was actually really surprised with the first review on here. A few days after our return, the owners (who were great throughout the process) sent me a follow up email just asking how the stay was and to let me know that I would be getting my deposit back soon. I give it 5/5!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway.

The property was very nice however, if you have children be aware that the owner refused to refund the security deposit claiming there were too many trash bags left and stains on the carpets. The stains were present upon our arrival. Even though there was a substantial fee charged for the heated pool, we could not get the water temperature above 69 degrees because the heater kept shutting off. The property advertises the drive to Disney is only 10 minutes. It is closer to a 30 minute drive. I would not recommend this property to anyone with small children. Additionally, although the community appears to be upscale, the police stopped and alerted us that cars down the street were broken into and items stolen from them.Did you find this review helpful?

I would like to thank you for renting your property to us for the period of 22 July – August 1, 2009. Your home is spectacular. I wish we could of stay longer. The property was very clean and the maintenance service was excellent. The kids loved the pool. We all loved our rooms. ? Your directions were perfect, 24 hour shopping is very close to the property. The CVS is in walking distance. Due to traffic, Disney took about 20 minutes to get to the parks. Your property is in a PERFECT location. If we had to rate your property from a scale of 1 – 10. We would give your property a BIG FAT 20. We have one suggestion. It would be nice to have a small printer to print out boarding passes and directions to various locations. Before leaving, we washed all dishes, towels, sheets, cleaned bathrooms and made up beds before we left. We didn’t even sleep on the sheets the night before because we wanted to make sure everything was fresh and clean as it was when we walked in on 22 July 09. We hope to rent from you again. Until then, God Bless you and I will recommend your place to my closest friends and relatives.Recommended for: People with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
