Seasons Dream Is A Vacationer's Dream Come True

My husband & I had the extreme privilege of staying at the impeccably furnished Seasons Dream villa for the month of March 2012. What an absolute treasure this house is! When we walked into the house after three long days of traveling by car, our exhaustion melted away at the sight of this home. It looked & smelled fresh and clean & indeed it was & is. Our fatigue became a distant past as we quickly became invigorated by the absolute attention to detail & care taken in maintaining this gorgeous home. The kitchen was large & spacious & equipped with the finest tableware, linens & cookware. Cooking was a breeze - anything you need was readily available. The dining areas located in the kitchen, as well as the formal dining area, already had colorful place settings when we arrived. We entertained family members who reside in Orlando & they could not believe the beauty of this home. The bedrooms were creatively decorated - each room reflecting a Season of the Year. We did not have our grandchildren with us on this visit, but I could only imagine the fun they would have had in the Princess twin bedroom or the very patriotic bunk bed room. The King & Queen bedrooms were beautiful. Our niece joined us for a week & stayed in the Queen bedroom. She felt like a princess - her own bathroom was just outside her door & the linen closet was equipped with fluffy red & white towels. The bathroom off the King Bedroom was equally exquisite. You could hold a cocktail party in the shower! The King Bedroom opened onto the spacious lanai, as did the family room at the back of the villa. And, speaking of the family room, we spent many evenings curled up by the gas fire place during the first week, as it was a bit cool in early March. This room was so homey & comfy & the television system current and modern. The patio/lanai area was "to die for". Linda thought of everything. The patio table was my favorite place to be first thing in the morning &, in the evening, when the weather became more co-operative, I really enjoyed watching TV out on the lanai, while the pool treated me to a lighting show. Pure heaven! Also, there were two bins filled with toys by the pool deck, two huge rubber dolphins for the kiddies & a very handy bathroom close by, decorated especially for the children, young & old. Gerhardt, the property manager, made absolutely certain that all our needs were met. Service with a smile. We are returning in 2014 & cannot wait. Thank you Linda!

Luxury in a very peaceful location, yet only a short drive to Disney and other parks.

This was our 6th visit to Orlando and 2nd time staying at Seasons Dream as no other villa has matched it's wonderful location and excellent amenities. The villa is equipped to a very high standard and you immediately feel at home, as soon as you walk through the door. The owners go out of their way to ensure that your stay is comfortable and that you have everything you could possibly need. It was 5 years since we had last visits Orlando and Seasons Dream, and in that time the villa has been maintained to such a high standard that there was no sign of ageing, in fact it was even better equipped than before! We travelled with our son and daughter aged 23 and 21 years and could combine a few parks with complete relaxation by the pool villa and spa which was heated for our stay. If you have young children or are two families, you will find the accommodation has everything you need with extra large pool, games room. pool table and games console. If you book to stay over the Christmas period as we did, the villa is decorated both internally and externally and we arrived to twinkling lights and a very festive feel, with temperatures warm and sunny. We cannot recommend this villa enough and will definitely return in the future as we know we can be guaranteed a genuine service of care from the owners and a villa that surpasses all of our requirements.

Great villa

This villa is superb! It is exactly as described on the site - a real home-from-home, well equipped and with a high standard of decor and furnishings. The location suited us perfectly as it was close to the road network and amenities but within a quiet and peaceful sub-division. The villa itself has everything for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We particularly enjoyed watching the wildlife and using the pool area which was secluded and private.

My family has rented homes for vacationing at Disney several times. This was by far the best experience yet! The house was immaculate with absolutely everything we needed. The kids and adults alike were wow'd by the home and loved the quick drive to disney. The owners were so great to deal with- they answered our questions quickly and were very helpful. The photos are accurate, but whet you don't see it the professional decor in each room- absolutely lovely! I've already recommended this home to my friends.

The photos on the website are just an indication on how beautiful this villa really is. The photo do not do justice to how awesome this villa is equipped and decorated. The home offers everything for a home away from home. The proprety as great privacy and the pool deck and lanai are the best. We have been visiting Florida for the past 16 years and this villa is by far the best we have ever rented. As soon as you walk into the front door you are in awe on the homely feeling and the excellent ambiance created by the great decorating throughout the home. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting a great stay in the Orlando area.

We have been fortunate enough to have holidayed in Season's Dream three times and are due to return for a fourth visit in 2013. It is an amazing villa. The attention to detail never ceases to amaze us. As you can guess by the villa name, it is themed around the seasons. This theme is carried through the rooms, popping up in ornaments and pictures: the attention to detail is astounding. The villa is furnished to a very high standard and provides any family with a luxurious and memorable stay. The pool area is larger than average and overlooks Lake Thomas, providing nature lovers an opportunity to observe the natural Floridian wildlife. My husband continually topped up a number of the bird feeders that are also supplied by the villa. Our children who are aged 8 and 12 have never been bored and are as happy to spend a day in, rather than go to a theme park. The villa is very well equipped to occupy any age of child, with its video games, pool table, swimming pool + toys, games room, HD TV + movies-the list could go on and on. The management company, who look after the villa are a phone call away and are very friendly and helpful. The Disney parks are about 15 to 30 minutes away and the local supermarket, Publix, is five minutes' drive away. Thank you Linda, for allowing us to stay in your wonderful villa. We look forward to our return in 2013.

As wonderful as the website photo's are, they truly do not do justice to the beauty and practicality of Linda's home!! We did not want for a single thing and everything provided, from dishes, furnishings, entertainment, etc., was first class. The pool and lanai were used every day of our 3 week stay, and by the end of it, Seasons Dream really felt like " our home ". Indeed, we tried to book for the month of March, 2012, but missed the opportunity by 2 days!! Once again Linda, many thanks for sharing your "treasure" with us and we will certainly be back in the future. Dan & Debbie MacGillivray Ontario, Canada.

What a wonderfully equipped, lovely villa. It is so comfortable that we spent more days than planned just relaxing by the pool. It is really conveniently located and we loved the view across the lake. Would love to go back next year but already have a large family holiday in France planned so hopefully we'll be back in 2012!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely, well-appointed home. Everything was well maintained and a lot of thought given to detail. It was the perfect retreat for our family and so nice to return to after long, hot days at the parks. We really enjoyed the pool, especially in the evenings with the pool lights turned on. It is located very close to the Walt Disney World theme parks and easy to find our way around. Would recommend this home and hope we can return some day.

Dear Lin & Chris Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us. The decoration and attention to detail are outstanding. There was absolutely nothing we needed that we could find! Especially appreciated the plastic dishes for use on the lanai. With a 4 year old we felt blessed, with a great location, great weather and low crowd levels at the parks. We hope to return to Orlando again and certainly hope that Seasons Dream will be available then too. Havas family Georgia May 2007

Dear Tilston FamilyThank you so much for sharing your home with us. It is absolutely beautiful, more so than we expected. We had a wonderful vacation and would love to stay here again next year. Our boys loved the pool and games room and learned to play billiards. You helped make their break a “dream come true”. We had the best time at Busch Gardens – even more than Disney. The kids enjoyed being here almost as much as being on the go all the time. Thank s again for sharing your home.Jackie & family
