  From the moment we arrived at wishing star villa we knew we had made the right decision in booking it,everything was as described clean, spacious but homely and comfortable with all the essentials needed for a family home.We loved the pool,games room, t.v.s in bedrooms and free wifi and not forgetting the comfy beds for a much needed good nights sleep after long days at disney and universal which are only a 10-15 min. drive away. The location of Sandy ridge community is central to all attractions and amenities and felt safe and secure at all times and it was so convenient at night being so near downtown disney for evening entertainment, we especially loved the cirque de soleil show la nouba and would highly recommend it.We also travelled to clearwater beach which is only an hours drive away and was a lovely change from the parks. Maureen and Ian were a pleasure to deal with from the first enquiry and answered any questions we had promptly, even ringing us from Ireland on our first morning in Orlando to check we were happy with everything in the villa. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wishing star villa to all my friends and family and would certainly stay again. The Kavanagh family,Tipperary,Ireland

  The house was a brilliant home away from home and i would recommend it to anyone. The location was ideal and it is ideally situated close to all the parks and shopping. The restaurants are only 2 minutes up the road and are located perfectly. The service was excellent and every aspect of the house was perfect from the time we booked until the time we got home. The house was spacious and the games room was perfect for the kids. The pool was brilliant to cool down in after a long day. We had no problems whatsoever with the house and i would recommend it to anyone. I will definetly be coming back next year and cant wait to stay there again.

  My Husband and I with our 3 children travelled to Orlando in June. We had saved and count down the days to our holiday of a life time for 2 years!We had very high expectations. The villa, Wishing Star blew our minds, it was everything we had hoped for and sooo much more. It was so comfortable and everything was very clean, modern and new. The pool was so much fun and we even opted out of going to the parks some days to spend time in the pool and villa. This Villa was SO close to EVERYTHING. We were slightly nervous driving in America but there was nothing to fear, the villa was minutes from all amenties, theme parks, malls and restaurants. The games room was very popular too with the kids and adults alike :) OMG the beds were so comfortable too, we are treating ourselves to a bed identical to the bed in wishing star villa !! We were so lucky to have the opportunity to book this wonderful villa and we know it is popular and now we know why! We have booked ourselves in for 2014 already and the count down has already begun untill we will be back! All round perfect villa.

  As this was our 1st family trip to Orlando (with 3 young children under 4years)we were apprehensive about the whole experience. On arrival at the wishing star villa we soon realised that it was going to be a home from home experience with absolutely everything we could have needed either in the villa or a very close drive away. The local shops being a few minutes drive away along with a variety of nice restaurants and only 5 minutes drive to the I4 which is the gateway to all the attractions. Since returning our eldest has not stopped asking as to when we can go back there. The villa is exactly as Ian had described it to be and was perfectly clean and well maintained.We hope to return to stay in this villa again in the near future.

  My husband, myself & our 2 Girls aged 8 & 10 stayed in this fabulous villa for 3 weeks. We had a fantastic holiday & none of us wanted to return home at the end of it. This house is exactly as advertised ie spotlessly clean with all the comfort of home. It is close to disney & ideally located to drive to all the other attractions Orlando has to offer.The pool was fantastic after a hot busy day there was nothing better then coming home & going for a dip in the pool. We would recommend this property with no hesitation & we will definitely be back.Thanks Maureen & Ian for helping to make our holiday extra special. Byrne Family, Wicklow

  Our 4th trip to Orlando and without a doubt the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. Our family of 7 could not believe the luxury, comfort, and attention to detail that Maureen & Ian's beautiful Villa gave us on our Christmas/New Years holiday. The pool was fantastic, the beds the most comfortable ever. Maureen & Ian sure put a lot of thought into what families require to ensure they have a fantastic holiday. Location was fantastic and was literally 10 minutes from Magic Kingdom. We drove to Daytona beach in less than an hour. The Supermarket and Take Aways were right on our doorstep. This was voted unanimously by the 7 of us as the best holiday we have ever had in Orlando and we will NEVER book hotels again - the comfort, convenience and privacy we had in Wishing Star Villa contributed to the most fantastic trip to Orlando to date. We would highly recommend this beautiful Villa - Mother, Mother in Law and Father and brother and especially little James are all lookin forward to returning to Wishing Star Villa as soon as possible.

  We arrived at the villa in Orlando and the first thing that we saw was a security car from neighbour hood watch driving around the estate. The estate was very quite. It was only 5 minutes away from Supermarket, fast food take aways, the pharmacy and garage. The Villa was huge, beautiful and spotlessly clean with plenty of clean towels. We travelled with 4 adults, 2 teenagers and a 3 year old. The kids all loved the games room and the pool was brilliant. Disney World and Universal studios were about 20 minutes away and Busch Gardens which was the best theme park of them all was about an hour away but no matter where you stay in Orlando you really need a car. Before we left Ian and Maureen were absolutely brilliant giving us any information we required day or night. Billy the property manager was also to hand at any time with any questions that we had. Would definitely recommend this Villa to people of all ages and if I ever go back to Orlando which I'm hoping to do next year I will defo be trying to get this premises again. Susan from Dublin

  This house was everything you would want and more! Location was excellent, close to local amenities and very easy and quick access to all the major parks, shops and restaurants in Orlando. The house was spotless and catered for all our needs, with a smashing pool for when you just want to do nothing but relax. The pool table was a huge 'plus', for passing a relaxing night after a busy day. Decor is excellent. Towels in plentiful supply, washing machine, dryer, huge fridge freezer and TV's everywhere - 'Home from Home'. I would highly recommend this home for anyone travelling to Orlando, the area is well kept and located 5 minutes from Supermarkets, Pharmacies, Take Aways etc. We will most definetely return to this house in the future. Thanks a million Ian & Maureen, it was a pleasure dealing with you!!

  Owner response: Thank you for your kind comments.We are pleased our home lived up to your expections! It was also a pleasure to talk to you about your vacation plans, hopefully we will see you back with us next year. Ian & Maureen
