After an action packed day at the amusement parks, shopping centers, golf course or beach, spread out and unwind in the over 2000 sq. feet our home provides. RELAX in the private spa or REJUVENATE yourself in the private, fully screened, south facing, swimming pool.

We really enjoyed our trip. Thank-you so much for the use of your home . It was beautiful, everything that we excepted and more. The kids really enjoyed the pool, by the end of the day they just couldn't wait to get back and jump in. Hopefully in a year or two we will be back again.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

Hi Judy and Michael, We had a wonderful trip! The Villa was beautiful, we enjoyed the proximity to the parks and the security of a gated community. As we had arrived late Saturday night, we opted to relax at the Villa the next day. I hope to be able to stay at Memory Lane again in the future. In the meantime, very best wishes to you and yours.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

A few weeks ago (March, 2013) we stayed for a week in this beautiful vacation home. It was pretty much perfect - an ideal place to stay if holidaying in Florida. The house is a large open bungalow with lots of space. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms - it has lots of room for families or adult couples. The place is very well maintained. It was clean with obvious owner attention paid to upkeep and details (being exceptionally well maintained might set this place apart from other places in Windsor Hills). The pool was fantastic - and the adjacent hot tub a delightful way to end the day. Other amenities like the washer and dryer were great to have if you needed them. Windsor Hills is a very, very nice secure gated community. It was very safe. People enjoyed walking around the grounds, kids at the playground, and others working out at the club house. As a runner, I found some great runs down the adjacent road and along some golf courses. The location is fantastic. If you are going to the theme parks - they are all within a short easy drive. There is lots of great golf in the area too (we enjoyed 3 of the Disney courses). It was a short drive to several premium shopping outlets, and it is within a couple hours of some nice beaches (we went to Cocoa Beach). Overall, I cannot imagine staying in a hotel or anywhere else in the central Florida area. It was truly a "perfect vacation home". We would recommend it to everyone.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.

The house was fabulous, we truly enjoyed our time there. Someday we would like to go back and have some time to enjoy the community more (it was all so lovely!!). As I'm sure you would know, 8 days in Disney world kept us running most days!! So awesome to have the space to come home to!! We left the house and took a Disney cruise and that too was amazing!!! It was the only thing that made leaving the house easier! We really were not ready to go when our time was up!! Thank you so much! Thanks again for letting us enjoy your beautiful home!!!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.

We were extremely excited to stay at this property until a wedding popped up that we couldn't get out of. Though we had already booked our stay and submitted our deposit, when we asked the property owners to work with us they were more than happy to accommodate our need to change dates and refund our deposit. We have had to push our vacation to Orlando off until 2014, however we won't look anywhere else when we do, as this property is without doubt not only a fabulous home, but owned by wonderful people. Thanks again Judy!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you for the kind comments. Planning family vacations well in advance can be challenging (and unpredictable!). We take pride in treating our guests the same way that we like to be treated. Enjoy the wedding, and we hope to see you in 2014. Judy.

We are a family from Newfoundland, Canada who were loooking for a suitable vacation home near the Disney theme parks and this house was the perfect fit. It more than met our expectations. It was very clean and spacious. Each of the bedrooms had it's own bathroom which made it a lot easier for getting ready in the mornings We really enjoyed the pool and spa after a long day at the theme parks. My 3 year old grandson is already saying "I want to go back to Florida and get in the pool". We would certainly stay at your house again. Thanks Judy and Michael, hope to be back in the near future.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+.

Three families shared the house for the week of the volleyball tournament! Each bedroom has its own bathroom which makes getting ready very easy! It was awesome. The kitchen was clean and well equipped for all meals. We hosted the team pasta party!! We enjoyed the pool each day, but the pool in the complex was also very nice and big. We would recommend using the house for any type of vacation...so much nicer than a hotel, and not far from anything you want to do.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, girls getaway.

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: We are a family from Winnipeg, Canada who are fortunate to have a very busy life full of kids and their activities (mainly volleyball and basketball - we have tall kids), hobbies (a love / hate relationship with golf), work (have to pay the bills somehow), and all the surprises that life has to offer. When we finally get a break in the action, we love coming to Central Florida for a guaranteed great vacation. Our Memory Lane Villa and Windsor Hills is our home away from home!
Why the Owner Chose Windsor Hills:
Before purchasing our home, we rented homes, town homes, and condos in other locations.
We learned how important it is to be staying as close to Disney (and all the theme parks) as possible. Being a few miles further away from Disney does not sound like much, but Central Florida traffic can be extremely frustrating (especially after a long day or during an afternoon rain storm). A few miles further can add a long long time to your drive. We really do not like being stuck in traffic, especially while on vacation.
We also learned that condos and town homes are not for us. Many of them are beautiful, but because there is only a wall or ceiling separating you from your neighbours, they just do not offer the peace and quiet of a private home.
We purchased in Windsor Hills because it is a first class resort, and is the closest resort to Disney that offers private homes. In other words, a private home in Windsor Hills offers the minimum time driving, and the maximum peace and quiet.
We have never regretted purchasing our home in Windsor Hills, and many of our guests have reaffirmed our choice. (perhaps we should have bought it a year or two later when real estate prices were lower!).
The Unique Benefits at this House:
* Canadian Owned - The owners, Judy & Michael (from Winnipeg, Canada) pride themselves as being honest, responsive (email is best), and easy to deal with.
* South facing pool, spa, and deck area - Provides the maximum amount of sunshine all day, and all year. You didn’t come all the way to Florida to be forced to sit in the shade (or on the driveway)!!
* Private pool and spa - You do not have to share a common pool (and pool chairs) with the hundreds of Windsor Hills guests from the condos and town homes.
* Pool safety fence - many of our guests have young children, and we know that pool safety is a #1 priority. There is a safety fence around the pool, for maximum safety.
* Large poolside covered lanai area - Be outside by the pool, and have cover from the Florida sunshine or an afternoon shower (and there will be times when you need it!). The lanai is large enough for you, and all those staying at the villa.
* Walking distance to club house, tennis courts, basketball and beach volleyball courts - Not all villas in Windsor Hills are within walking distance to these facilities. Do you want to be driving your kids back and forth all day (just like you do at home)? Our villa is a short (5-8 minute) walk to enjoy all the fun.
* Extra security provided through a monitored house alarm system, reinforced sturdy door locks on all sliding glass doors, and a heavy duty floor safe for your valuables (passports, $$, laptop, etc) - Provides peace of mind that you, your family, and your valuables are safe while you are in the villa, or when you are away enjoying the theme parks, shopping, etc.
* 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms - Means that you have space for everyone and will never have to share your bathroom with your extended family or friends. Need we say more?
* One level - Over 2,000 sq feet of space, all on the same level, means there are no stairs
