This Excellent Vacation Home is of the Excellent Superior category. The villa is situated on a quiet corner lot (with pond view) in the Bridgewater subdivision of Davenport, alongside the Ronald Reagan Park road (Co Rd 54). The location is about 4 miles south from the intersection of the 429 (Toll road) with the Interstate 4 (I4). It is therefore only minutes to the Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World theme parks plus some of the world’s best golf courses. There are supermarkets and dining nearby. This villa offers free high-speed internet (cable and Wi-Fi) plus free local and long-distance calling within the United States and Canada.
The villa has been furnished to a very good standard. When entering the villa you step from the hallway into the spacious family room, with music center, flat screen TV with digital cable and DVD player. The formal dining area is right next to this family room. On your left hand you will find the well-equipped, semi-open kitchen. Next to the kitchen you will find a breakfast nook. The one downstairs bedroom is found on the right side of the villa, accessible from the hallway. This bedroom has a Queen bed, cable TV and a closet. The bathroom right next to it has a vanity, shower and toilet.
Once upstairs, you will find the second bedroom with 2 Single beds and a closet. Next to this you will find the bathroom with one vanity, shower and toilet. This bathroom is shared with the next bedroom that also has 2 Single beds and a closet, plus cable TV. Last but not least, you will find to the right the Master bedroom with King bed, large walk-in closet and the en suite bathroom with dual vanity, large garden tub, walk-in shower and toilet. This room too has cable TV and a 32" flat screen TV.
The villa is fully air conditioned for those very hot days and has reverse air for the few colder days.
The semi-open kitchen is well fitted. It includes a full size oven, counter top microwave, large fridge-freezer with ice-maker, waste disposal unit and dishwasher. There is also a full range of electrical appliances and utensils – pretty much everything you could want in your home away from home.
Near the dining area, through the sliding patio doors, you have access to the inviting pool area, with a great view onto the large pond which is lined with tall trees behind it. Pool deck chairs allow for late night, pool side relaxing. The pool & hot tub can be heated separately, which is optional, at an extra cost.
There is also a washing machine and dryer in the villa, which are located in the laundry closet next to the breakfast area. Iron and ironing board are present too.

As an experienced FL renter for over 25 years, our overall stay was good. I would definitely consider other properties by this management company. They really offer great customer service. This is a large, well decorated home situated on corner lot. It is within easy driving between Davenport eateries and Disney plus Kissimmee area too. Convenient location is great. As compared to other properties we’ve stayed, the interior has minor dings and scrapes on walls where luggage was likely dragged that need TLC. There are a few amenities that could use updating. Although there were a lot of utensils in the kitchen we only found an odd collection of glassware. We would have appreciated some plastic glasses or plates for safe use around the pool. There were no pool towels either. We made do with bath towels but would have appreciated larger pool towels. Appreciated the laundry but the washer was extremely noisy and the dryer took a long time to dry clothes. We also noticed that the vent hose was broken and actually open to house. Since we’re from the north, we always look forward to having access to a pool and hot tub. We paid extra for pool heat but should have passed. The pool and spa are only heated to 86 degrees which rapidly cools during the night so we didn’t have a chance to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. While described as a hot tub/spa it was really just an extension of the pool with bubbles and too cool to enjoy. The first night we used the bubbles caused the water level to drop drastically in the spa area and move to the pool. We had to stop the bubbles and exit because the water level went nearly down to the jets. Lanai was nice but the screens need some TLC and patches. Some of the items I’ve addressed are minor and the house really is a good rental option for a large group. Four spacious bedrooms, three baths and plenty of community space too. Management calls were handled promptly and professionally.

The home was spacious and at the quiet end of the street, having a gator justacross the street everyday sunning herself and you could hear her babies at night. Along with the beautiful cranes coming by each day. Chris at Excellent Vacation homes was very helpful and kind. Overall good experience in renting this home.

We had a very nice vacation at the parks. The house was OK, we paid a little extra and loved the heated pool. But this house did need some maintenance work, and a could use a very good cleaning. Ants were a real nuisance. Got into our cereal boxes, and covered Thanksgiving pies! Construction waist and old furniture left in garage. Several ligts were out, and a couple outlets didn't work. We've stayed in many rentals homes, and have never consider ourselves to be very picky people. It was a good home but the ants and unclean areas were enough to make us check out a day early and head home to NC. Can't say I would use this home again, but the company staff were very friendly, and did what they could. Also we need to remember that a hurricane blew threw this area about 6 weeks earlier, so they may be trying to catch up on all the needed repairs in all the homes.
