Accommodations: Townhouse, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
Set in the famous 24 hour secure Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club, this lovely privately owned home is more than fully-equipped for the perfect holiday. Accommodation is in 2 queensize bedrooms both with ceiling fans and 1 bedroom with 2 twins, all linens are good quality. The large tropical feel master bedroom is equipped with cable t.v., ceiling fan and has views over the golf course, the ensuite has double sized bath and large shower with thick fluffy towels.
Big open plan full kitchen with breakfast bar, the formal dining area leads to large open plan lounge which has a double height ceiling for a great cool, spacious feeling and our home has the added comfort of deep pile carpet running throughout the house. There is cable T.V and a DVD player in the lounge with a selection of discs both DVD and CD to choose from plus games and plenty of books.
Try the putting green or driving range at the clubhouse just across the road (2 mins) before having breakfast in our beautiful screened Florida room which overlooks the fourth hole. Watch the birdlife parade past - cranes, egrets and ibis as you plan your day. Southern Dunes is an award PGA championship golf course ranked number 6 in Florida in Golf Digest 2007 - 2008.
A short four minute walk takes you to one of the 3 quiet community pools large enough for a good cool down swim, complete with chairs and loungers, you often have it to yourselves. Disney is only 20 minutes away along with Sea World and all that Orlando has to offer. Not too far from the coast for a day at the beach, west for the Gulf beaches or east for the Atlantic. Catch a launch from Kennedy Space Centre (dates and times on their website), you can watch from Cocoa Beach.
Cypress Gardens - is just down the road with something for all the family or go to Bok Sanctuary and admire the gardens.
Sited at the entrance to Southern Dunes is a 24 hour Wal-Mart, Winn Dixie and a bank plus plenty of restaurants.
Sorry no pets. We have made this a home from home with original artwork and comfortable furniture, not just a rental. Many extra features (thoughtful items like hairdryers, cool box, pool/beach towels, pool toys and beach chairs). We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
After renting for many years and often feeling let down by small things that make a big difference we decided we could do a lot better. So now we ensure that all details no matter how small are taken care of (quality towels and linens) - plenty of DVD's, books etc.
Why the Owner Chose Southern Dunes
We loved the central location and being close to the parks. The setting of Southern Dunes Golf & County Club was particularly appealing.
The Unique Benefits of this Townhouse
With both east and west coast beaches being just over an hour away you have a great choice. Being just across the road from the clubhouse means you can drive your cart to pick up your clubs and you never miss a tee off time.

I wanted to let you know again that we enjoyed the visit so much. Your home is beautiful and so comfortable. The little touches you've placed throughout make it so homey and cozy. Oh..and we LOVE the addition of the fan to the master bedroom! Thanks again for a wonderful vacation,

Thanks Gill, the house was beautiful and perfect for us. Although it does not have a pool like the other places we have stayed on Southern Dunes, we found it even better to use the lovely communal pool 50 yards down the road. So much space and the sun all day !! We will highly recommend your house to the other parents visiting their children at Webber University. Kind regards Steve

I would like to thank you for letting us rent your house in Florida for the Christmas holidays.The house offered a 'lot more' than we anticipated. We wish we could stayed and enjoyed the house little more time due to the fact that we were out a lot seeing places. I will certainly recommend your place to my friends and relatives on their visit to Orlando. I personally be looking forward to stay at your place on my next trip hopefully soon.

Just a note to say how much we enjoyed staying at your home in Southern Dunes. The house was decorated so beautifully and the view was outstanding of the golf course. If we need a place to stay for short visits to Florida, we definitely would return there.

Just wanted to let you know we had a great time at Southern Dunes this past weekend. Your place was exactly what we were looking for. The location allowed us to walk to the first tee each morning which was great. No time wasted traveling or packing the car. Your home was clean and very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
