OUTDOOR FLORIDIAN LIVING AT ITS BEST
Our fabulous saltwater pool and spa is a natural alternative to "pool chlorine" chemicals. It offers our guests the luxury and the natural healthy benefits of swimming in crystal clear, mild salt water (only half as salty as your own tear drops). No more red eyes, green hair or irritated eyes or skin. It is environmentally positive and ecologically sound - most or all of the regular chemicals dumped into pools eventually end up polluting our environment in one way or another. This system uses only pure, natural salt - and recycles that salt continuously.
The private, extra-large south & west facing deck gives you the benefit of enjoying maximum sun AND the spectacular Florida sunsets. If you need to escape the sun’s rays, the spacious lanai provides plenty of cover & has a ceiling fan for extra cooling. This is a fabulous place to enjoy an al fresco lunch or dinner. Enjoy the far-reaching views over Conservation Wetlands - you will feel a million miles away from the hustle & bustle of the theme parks and shopping malls, with no rear neighbours to disturb your outdoor living enjoyment.
THE PERFECT VILLA IN A PERFECT LOCATION - FOR A PERFECT VACATION
"Sandpipers" is set in one of the best positions at Weston Hills, a small, exclusive, gated community located on US27 just 3 miles north of its junction with the 192. As you drive through the electric gates you will notice how beautifully kept everything is, with a tree-lined avenue & well maintained flower borders. Weston Hills is very quiet with a high proportion of residential, rather than solely vacation homes. Disney World is just 10-15 minutes away. Shops (inc. a Wal-Mart Superstore), restaurants, gas station & pharmacy are all within a few minutes drive, as of course are many Golf Courses. Universal Studios, Sea World & Wet'n'Wild may be reached in about 30 minutes, depending on the traffic. Weston Hills is just a few miles from Lake Louisa State Park, with its own beach, nature trails & fishing.
FIND YOUR SANCTUARY AT 'SANDPIPERS'
Vacations are increasingly important and precious in our high-pressure lives. With 'Sandpipers', we have carefully chosen a unique property and equipped it to provide a real sanctuary to return to after the hustle and bustle of the Theme Parks, or a tiring day golfing or shopping.
'Sandpipers' is not a budget property. Our guests are those whose priorities are quality and ambience before price, and for whom staying in a lovely home is an integral part of their vacation enjoyment.
We look forward to welcoming you to "Sandpipers" soon.......

Why the Owner Chose Weston Hills
Weston Hills, where our villa "Sandpipers" is located, is a great place to stay, if you want to be close to the 'action' but, as we do, enjoy retreating to a peaceful retreat to relax and re-charge for the next busy day. Weston Hills is a quiet, gated community 3 miles north of the busy HW 192, and is within 2-3 minutes drive of several supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, garages, banks etc. Yet because the Weston Hills is primarily a residential, rather than a vacation community, as soon as you drive through the main gates you feel a million miles away from all the hustle and bustle. We also like the fact that Weston Hills is a deed restricted community with a very active Homeowners Association, which ensures that the public areas are kept immaculate and the homes have to comply with strict guidelines regarding appearance, car parking etc.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The main plus point for us of "Sandpipers" is its wonderfully peaceful location - it is set right at the edge of the community, with no houses to obstruct the far-reaching views from the pool deck over the miles of conservation wetlands. You will very likely see the hot air balloons drifting over early in the morning, and see and hear a variety of bird and wildlife.
We love getting up early some mornings and having a coffee out on the pool deck and watching the mist slowly evaporate over the wetlands, and listening to the birdsong. We are lucky with the orientation of "Sandpipers", because the extended pool deck area faces both south and west, so even from very early in the morning, we normally find at least one part of the deck is already in the sun. And of course, given the right weather conditions, we often can watch spectacular sunsets in the west.
We also enjoy the huge amount of space in our villa! This is a special treat for us, as our tiny English cottage home would fit probably 2-3 times within the 3000sq ft space that "Sandpipers" offers.
And we like the fact that the Weston Hills community offers several facilities which we and our guests can use free of charge, including a childrens' pool and play area, large community pool, tennis courts and basketball courts.
Owner's Map of Weston Hills
Hi, we are Iain and Amanda Burrup. We live in the beautiful Cotswolds area of the United Kingdom, and have owned "Sandpipers", our dream Florida vacation home since 2006. We visit at least 3 times a year, to get our sunshine fix and for Iain to play a little golf. We have 4 grand-daughters, who can't wait visit the Disney parks and the other great child-friendly attractions of the area! Regular visiting also gives us an opportunity to ensure that our home is being maintained and cared for properly by our management company. Each time we go, we always find ourselves shopping for little extras that we feel will enhance our guests' experience. If you decide to choose "Sandpipers" for your Florida vacation, we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do! Best wishes, Iain and Amanda.

We flew back yesterday and we had a great time. The house was beautiful and the kids were like fish in the pool everyday. The ride to everything was a breeze. Extremely convenient !! The house was beautiful and had more than we expected. We will recommend you to everyone and hope to return ourselves as well. Thank you. Tom Trebosci

Dear Iain, our family had a holiday of a life time and your villa played a large part in this enjoyment. The villa is huge and tastefully furnished. It most certainly catered for our family needs and to say we were delighted would be an understatement. Once again, many thanks and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending your properties to our circle of friends.

Hi Iain & Amanda, Just wanted to drop you a line to thank your for our time in your villa. We had a fantastic holiday, Sandpipers was great, it really lived up to our expectations. Please pass on our thanks to Helen (Management Company), who really helped us to settle in and was brilliant when I locked the car keys inside the car just before we were about to drive to the airport! Many thanks, Regards. Dave

Iain/Amanda I just wanted to send a quick email to you both to let you know that my family had a wonderful time at your villa. The size, decor and position of the villa was wonderful and exactly fitted the bill for our holiday. The pool area was a definite plus and the kids had a brilliant time playing there. My family had a wonderful time at Sandpipers from the moment we arrived. All your directions and instructions were spot on and the villa more than lived up to the description found on the web site. The villa was airy and spacious and more than enough room for all who were staying. We have never stayed in that particular area before and found it very nice and handy to all the attractions. The Super Walmart down the road was extremely handy should you need provisions and I can honestly say that we did not want to return home. The biggest hit for the kids was the pool area which was very private and well furnished for relaxing. The pool was excellent and was in the sun most of the day. We left some kids games and flotation devices for the pool and I'm sure your guests will find them useful. I am confident you will be hearing from us again as we are already planning our next trip out there. I would love to own a home in Florida myself but your villa really was a home from home for us all. Best wishes. Jonathan Robinson
