'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.

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

We found the villa to be very well equipped and very comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed using the pool table. It was nice to look out at the lake and watch the sunsets and it was very conveniently located for the theme parks. We will certainly bear you in mind for any future trips to Orlando. Regards, Brian Bennell

Dear Iain & Amanda, Just a few lines to thank you for letting us stay at your fabulous villa, it was everything we had hoped for and more lots of room and catered very well for everything we would need for our holiday. We are all sad to be back home and back at work for that matter, but never the less we had a fantastic holiday and will no doubt be in contact in the near future to book again. I will whole heartedly recommend your villa as the best I have stayed in and could not contemplate staying anywhere else on Sunset Lakes, the south facing pool made all the difference the children were very happy being able to spend time in the pool on our return from the theme parks. Thank you very much for making our holiday very special. Regards Horace Spooner

I just wanted to send you a short note to say what a great time we all had. Your house was beautiful! It was everything we imagined it would be. It was perfect for two families. We really enjoyed the warm pool. We ate all of our meals by the pool while we enjoyed 80 degree weather just about everyday, some days hotter.
