Well equipped, spacious, & excellent family feel We encountered floridas wettest fortnight on record but his wonderful villa helped us have one of the most brilliant holidays any of us have ever had. Children (young) and adults alike have loved the pool, air hockey and all the excellent facilities. Judy was brilliant to deal with in the booking and catering for all our needs. Hopefully we will be returning visitors in the not too distrant future.

Perfect Location! My family and I recently stayed at this beautiful home while we enjoyed a week at Disney! We were very pleased with the accommodations. The house was very clean, and had all the amenities of home. My husband and I were so glad that we made the decision to stay out of Disney. At the end of a fun filled day at Disney it was great to come home and just relax and let the kids have a swim and have room to spread out. There were even a few days where they wanted to leave Disney to come home and have a swim!!! The games room that the garage was converted into was also a highlight for the kids! Judy was very good to deal with and very helpful with great ideas about Disney that I would not have thought of on my own. The property was truly 2 miles away from Disney and took all of 5 minutes to get to any of the four parks. This was very handy the day that my six year old was sick and needed to come back to the house. My husband and eight year old stayed and enjoyed the park until that evening. When they were all done we went to pick them up, and what a great memory that was for my son! I would recommend this property to anyone. If we go back to Disney I would not hesitate to call Judy and book this home. We had a wonderful vacation!

Our Vacation My family and I had an awesome experience at the magical memories house. My young children loved the pool/hot tub and the game room. They were never bored. They also thought it was pretty cool to have a t.v. and game system in their room. The layout was great for my 19 month old..no stairs. The property was very clean and tidy when we arrived. My first thought was.."I did good". I would definately go back to stay here as well as recommend it to friends. We went to Disney everyday and the short drive was wonderful. We didn't eat out much. We had everything we needed at the house. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to visit. Thank you! LA

A Great Getaway (from it all) We had a wonderful time during our stay at this house. They included all the amenities, with lots of plates, cutlery and glasses, including glass and plastic for by the pool. The beds were comfortable and the kids really liked the Mickey theme room. The open concept of the house made it ideal to keep track of everyone. We enjoyed coming home from our busy day to a nice and relaxing swim and beverage by the pool. The kids also loved the grounds, including the clubhouse pool and the variety of playgrounds all within walking distance. We will never stay in a hotel again.

What A Wonderful Way to Spend Christmas! We stayed in the beautiful home for 7 nights. There were 6 in our group which ranged in ages from a senior down to teenagers. We had planned and dreamed about this trip for a very long time and when we arrived at the house it was everything we hoped for and more. It was lovely and clean with everything we could possibly need right down to hair dryers in every bathroom. Our mom has some mobility issues so this house was perfect for her with everything situated on one floor. It is so close to all the Disney Parks which gives you more fun time at the Parks rather than wasting a lot of time driving. One of the many perks of the house is coming home after many hours at the Parks or shopping and slipping into the nice warm pool! This house made our Christmas vacation even more magical with memories lasting a life time. This is a wonderful place to be at Christmas or any other time of year. We definately hope to return one day and have, and will continue to, recommend this house to our friends. Thank you for opening up your home to us.

Great Owners! Great Vacation Home! From the very onset of planning my trip Judy was fantanstic to deal with. The villa is exactly as advertised. Upon our arrival, everything was very clean and and the amenities were all nice and new. The management company was very prompt with any questions I had for them. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Florida Vacation My wife and I along with our son and grandchildren(ages 9 and 7) stayed at Judy and Michael's home in Windsor Hills from October 22nd to October 29. We found the home on VRBO and made the arrangements with Judy by email. Everyone totally enjoyed the experience and the grand children particularly enjoyed the pool at the house. Everything at the home was as promised. The house was spotless when we arrived and the service from the rental agent was most satisfactory. The games room in the garage was an added feature and kept the boys busy when not at Disney World. I would not hesitate to stay at the property again if in the Orlando area and certainly would recommend the home to anyone who had family and wanted a place to stay.

Fabulous Windsor Hills Home We stayed here for over a week in October with my elderly parents and energetic 9 and 11 year old kids. We were returning to Windsor Hills because we liked the neighborhood so much when we rented a home there a few years ago. This home was much better than our last rental. The kids loved the game room and Game Cube -- features we didn't have in our last house. When it rained at the parks, we hung out at home and had air hockey tournaments. The beds were also comfortable and the sheets soft. This house also had an alarm system and great locks on the glass door to the pool deck. We ordinarily wouldn't care that much about this, but we had our laptops nicked on our last vacation. Oh, and the house had car booster seats -- a great surprise since we had decided not to pay the extra baggage fee to bring ours from home. The only, minor complaint I had about the home is that the spa/hot tub did not get very hot. Still, after a hot day in Florida, we didn't mind this very much. Renting a house at Disney is the way to go. I can't imagine returning to a busy hotel after a hectic day in the parks. And, you can't go wrong with this house. It has easy access to Disney and the other parks and truly has all the amenities you could want. We would and already have recommended this property to others.

Luxury Home Living For Less Than Hotels Cost We were absolutely delighted by just how luxurious this fully appointed 4 bedroom home was. It has to be one of the best vacation values we've found. When we compared what you get for your money renting this large home to what you get paying for a hotel room - there is NO comparison ! The home had everthing we needed from a pool & hot tub to a full kitchen and wireless internet. It is beautifully decorated, new and clean. The owners clearly take pride in maintaining the home. For our two families - there was lots of space - with separate bed rooms for family members - and, with a bathroom for each bedroom it was perfect. (No waiting for others when we were getting ready to go to ride Sheikra or visit Mickey !) Windor Hills is a beautiful, secure, luxury community conveniently located to the Disney properties. (It's so close that we enjoyed being able to get away from the theme parks mid-day to relax a bit before going back for more.) It's also close to Tampa Bay - so a short car ride took us to Busch Gardens and to a Tampa Ray's MLB baseball game. Lots of golf - with one of the top courses in Florida (Mystic Dunes) literally right next door. I would recommend this lavish residence to any of my friends and to others coming to the Orlando area for a week or more. The area has so many great things for families to do - there just isn't a better place to stay - at any price. We're booking our next Florida holiday to stay in this great luxury home !

Great Property! This is a beautiful house. My family stayed in June and had a wonderful time. The house was large, clean and new. My children loved the pool. It was so nice to come back to this lovely home after a long day at WDW. (Escpecially, since the drive back to the house only took about 10 minutes.) The neighborhood was very nice. We have already recommended this property to friends.
