We have stayed all around Disney over the years and sometimes the traffic was discouragingly overwhelming, especially near the Epcot entrance. We don't vacation to be stressed, so over the years, we learned to vacation near the western entrance which is the Animal Kingdom Lodge entrance where traffic was much less, the West Irlo Bronson Hwy area of Kissimmee and the area called "Four Corners" which includes the thin southern arm of the town of Clermont.
Even within this great area, it was hard to find a property with a private yard and waterfront. After pouring over literally thousands of listings over several months, Egret Hill Villa immediately stood out. No other property had so much privacy while being so convenient to Disney. The former owners had kept the house looking and feeling brand new, with glowing five star reviews from all their renters.
Egret HillVilla is in Four Corners. just a few miles up US Hwy 27. All the conveniences you'd expect and need are there along 27, but without the tourist traffic. This area really is a "best kept secret." A proposed short cut to Disney from 27 has already been approved to shorten the drive to Disney even further in the near future.
Egret Hill Villa gives us everything we want to either be in the action or away from it all. Plus the villa recently had a gorgeous renovation of the kitchen and wood-look tile flooring installed in the living areas and baths. I love the kitchen! It literally has everything I could ever need to be able to cook or bake, not just some basic pots and pans. The decor is modern, light and clean. It doesn't feel like a rental at all. With higher end finishes and really nice, newer furnishings, it feels like a well cared for custom home.
We hope you'll love it as much as we do!
