About Carrie
Co-owned by 2 Canadian Brothers and their families. This is our vacation property to enjoy year round and share with our family, friends and guests, YOU! We have made many improvements in our home since we purchased it in 2008 and we continue to do so every time we are at our home. We've updated furniture, fixtures, lighting, flooring, linens, and pool/deck furniture for everyone to enjoy. Between our two families, one lives in Eastern Canada and one in Western Canada, we spend about 7 weeks a year in the sun, relaxing and enjoying much needed family time with our kids. We have not gone overboard in our decorating since we have such a variety of people using the house. Florida is not just about Disney. There are so many things to experience and we try something new every time we are down for a holiday. Just our community alone offers you 18 holes of golf professionally designed and challenging for the avid golfer.
Carrie purchased this house in 2008
Why Carrie chose Davenport
Our home is a HOME, NOT JUST ANOTHER VACATION RENTAL. It is truly a comfortable, clean, well maintained, well equipped vacation home. It's a place you can settle back and relax, all day by the pool if you like or to come back to after a long day at the theme parks. You can put your feet up, have a glass of wine by the pool, watch TV, read a book, all in quiet and comfort. With a south facing pool/back yard and beautiful deck with table, chairs and loungers, there's space for everyone to unwind, chill and relax. Super quiet neighbors on either side and no one behind. A stay here will convince you to never stay in a hotel again, not when there is the option for an entire home. You just can't beat it.
What makes this house unique
When we bought the house, the first thing we noticed compared to so many other homes we'd stayed in or looked to purchase, was the difference in size. Our home had such a great floor plan, all on one level, it was wide open, bright and inviting. But it lacked color and warmth. We started by removing all the carpet in the living areas (except the bedrooms) and had tile laid throughout. This helps in the hot summer days to cool the house down. We then added color through curtains, new light fixtures, new art work, pillows, new bedspreads and furniture, flat screen tv's, etc. It felt like home. We have before an after pictures and it's hard to believe it's the same house. We loved the location. Highlands Reserve is a great community in comparison to so many around. It's well manicured lawns and higher end homes in addition to the Golf Course, Tennis courts and community pool make it an attractive alternative to other communities. It's location to Disney was perfect. You can avoid the I-192 and all it's traffic, lights and people, and take the I-4 to exit 67 in about 15 minutes. This takes you right to all the Disney Parks and Downtown Disney hassle free. We also loved that we could be on the road to the Gulf of Mexico in 5 minutes, and be in Tampa in 45 or Clearwater in an hour. We love to drive there for a day at the beach, to take a dinner cruise or just walk along the beach to collect shells. It's an easy, relaxing drive in a day.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Carrie and Family,
Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home for our first family vacation to Florida. Your home was wonderful! A great place to come home to after a very long day!!
Jordyn and Hayden spent as much time in your pool as they possibly could! It was put to good use.
We hope to use your summer home again sometime. The tips and extra information was so helpful in helping us plan our days here. Thank you for making our trip planning so easy.
We do not want to go home but we must!!
Take Care

TREMENDOUS VALUE!!!
The property was even better than we had expected. It had everything, two dining rooms, 4 bedrooms, TV in every room, Large HDTV in living room, great location (Very close to all the large attractions), very clean, and the great thing about the pool is that it gets the sun the ENTIRE day!! Alot of pools only get partial sunlight, but part of the deck is covered so there is a shaded spot for eating and relaxing. Carrie was very helpful and friendly. Can't say enough about this home. This will be the first place we inquire about next time we go! Don't pass this one up!!!
Excellent
I loved every minute of my vacation. I usually stay in Davenpor. However, this home had all the amenities to make our stay more enjoyable. Although it rained a lot which hindered our use of the pool, getting up early and just lying the chairs was more than relaxing. I would highly recommend staying here.
Amazing!!!
Very comfortuble and cleness
Enjoyed , only thing ants were really bad
Enojoyed
Great accomodations
Great location for theme parks and to both coasts...75min to the east cocoa beach and 100min to the west clearwater. Good location to stores, restaurants of all kinds within 15 min.
Clean, Convenient, Felt Like Home!
It was a nice relaxing home to come back to after long days at the parks. Everyone had there own space to spread out and relax. The kids loved the pool! We are so glad we decided to rent this house instead of going to a Hotel. It was such a quiet area, I didn't even hear neighbors. I slept better hear than at home. It was so close to everything, stores, restaurants, gas stations.
It was also very easy to get to Disney and Beach from this location with no delays! I would love to have stayed forever, but had to go home. I would highly recommend you stay here!
Map
Located only 15 minutes from Disney's Main Gate and 1 hour from either coastline and located in a golfing community, this vacation property has everything you could ask for. It's private south facing pool backs onto a conservation area, relax at the pool and enjoy sun all day long. Whether you are relaxing after a day golf, a busy day at Disney or just getting away from your day-to-day grind, relax and soak up some warm Florida sun. For the sporting enthusiast there is Daytona speedway, professional football, basketball, hockey, baseball, spring training, Petty racing experience and many golf courses from amateur to pro, all within an hours drive. For families there is an endless amount of activities within minutes of the villa. 5 Disney parks and 2 Disney water parks are just 15 minutes away, Universal studios, Sea World, International Drive, mini-golf... the list is endless.
For the shopper there are dozens of malls from high-end to discount to outlet all minutes away!
Golf: Highlands Reserve Golf Course is a professionally designed 18 hole course, set at the highest altitude in the Orlando area. Green fees vary throughout different times of the day and cart rentals are included in your green fees. There is a driving range, golf club rentals available, lessons, a pro-shop and snack bar. The clubhouse is a 8 minute walk from the villa and located across from the community pool/tennis courts/playground. It is open to the public but books quickly, especially after 3:00 p.m. Be sure to book tee times in advance.
