'Still Waters', our highly upgraded, south-facing lakefront villa is a perfect vacation choice if you appreciate peace and tranquillity in luxurious surroundings, yet want the convenience of being as close as possible to the Orlando Theme Parks, shopping & Golf Courses. The view of the lake from the south-facing pool, spa and deck is incomparable .... when you sit outside sipping a cool drink in the evening, watching the sun go down and then seeing the moon rise over the lake, you will find it hard to believe that you are just 4 miles from the main gates of Disney and the lively Highway 192. This is one of the largest 4 bedroom vacation homes you can rent in the Orlando area (2600 sq ft) so there is ample room for two couples or families to holiday together in comfort - especially as the two huge Master Suites have identical bathroom facilities.

LOCATION
Sunset Lakes is a small, prestigious, gated community and is one of the closest to Orlando's main attractions. It is a mature development of detached pool homes surrounding two natural lakes, which attract many varieties of fish and wildlife.
Our luxurious home is minutes away from many Golf Courses, restaurants and supermarkets. Getting to and from the Theme Parks is easy with this ideal location. You really can visit the parks in the morning, spend the afternoons relaxing by your own private pool and return to the parks in minutes.
Within the community there is a communal pool and children’s play area, and if you bring your rods, you may fish in the well-stocked lake. Conservation land adjoins the development creating a natural habitat for the wildlife of Florida. You may spot cranes, bald eagles, ducks, buzzards, racoons & armadillos, plus many other small song birds.

we had a wonderful stay at Still Waters! The weather warmed up nicely, and everyone enjoyed the calm, relaxing atmosphere at the villa. The kitchen was a good size and shape for more than one cook at a time, and the beds were comfortable which was a blessing for our backs! You've been a joy to work with, Amanda, and I would definitely recommend the villa to others.

Just a quick few words to thank you for the use of your villa for our couple of weeks in Florida; we had a wonderful holiday which was enhanced by the relaxing and comforting environment of your home. We particularly liked the quiet location and the ability to enjoy a poolside cup of coffee watching the sunrise, specifically during our first couple of jet lagged days. We also found the spacious accommodation and the in-house access to the pool-table especially enjoyable after long days out in the sun (or malls!).

Hi Amanda Thanks for your email. We had a great time in Orlando and thoroughly enjoyed our time at your villa at Sunset Lakes. The villa was great and we really enjoyed our time there especially the pool table. We used it more as it was in the villa rather than in the garage. The hot tub was fixed by Thursday and we enjoyed relaxing at the end of a long day. We were delighted with our choice of accommodation this year and will keep you in my contacts for future vacations to Orlando.

We had a wonderful holiday thank you. In terms of feedback the Villa was great, · Loads of space · Comfortable furniture · Pool towels were really useful · Great to have a change of bedding available · Thanks for the stroller · Loads in the information booklet (but needs a taxi number and a couple of take away/delivery food numbers) · Great selection of crockery etc · Air con was very good Overall we had a great holiday and that is due in some part to the lovely Villa we had rented, thanks very much.

Hi Amanda, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at your villa - each time we have rented a villa we have added something to our 'wish list' but yours met all our requirements. The weather was so wonderful we hardly spent any time indoors, the pool area was perfect whether we wanted to be in the sun or shade. We can't think of any negative comments at all.

The house was spacious and pictures reflected exactly what it was. Beds were very comfortable. Very quiet neighbourhood. Pool and hot tub were great especially being south facing. View was enjoyable. Perfect location as close to many attractions. Publix grocery was the best compared to the one located a little closer. Would recommend restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings. Owners were professional, helpful and courteous. They always responded to e-mails in a timely manner. It was enjoyable to do business with them. We really enjoyed our holiday.

Hello Amanda Just a short note to say thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful villa for our stay in Florida. We all had a wonderful holiday and it was a real pleasure to return to such a lovely peaceful location after a busy day in the parks. We saw some interesting local wildlife and one of the particular highlights was when we watched the shuttle Discovery being launched from outside the front of the villa. Once again thank you. Kind regards Mark and Lisa Buck
