Huge 4 Bedroom Villa on the Bellavida Resort close to all the Major theme parks

Great villa & holiday spoilt by lack of supplied information. we arrived at the property without any entry codes etc., despite emails & accessing the mobile app, which doesn't work on android phones.

we basically had to break into the property because we hadn't been given the key entry code. phoning the only telephone no. we had (a British number) we reached what we can only assume was a security guard, who couldn't even take down my email address correctly.

when we finally gained access to the villa we found a guest book inside with an American contact no. on ringing we were relieved to find someone who knew who we were & was able to confirm our details.

we eventually found passwords etc. on the villa computer so we could access the Wi-Fi etc.

The owner was great. He was quick with email responses and very helpful. The house was clean and tidy and of a good size. The Bellavida resort is nice and conveniently located. It was quite quiet when we were there (Memorial weekend) and the clubhouse pool was large and almost always empty.

All major theme parks are a 20 minute drive away in light traffic (30 mins at rushour) but it's an easy drive.

Walmart is a 5 minute walk away.

Next time we come to Orlando we will be booking this house again. Praise surely can't come higher than that.

From our arrival on the Saturday evening we were impressed with this villa. It is spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. It was clean and well presented with all the facilities that a family would need for a successful holiday. We travelled with our children and grandchildren, ages 5 & 2, everything we needed was available at the villa and there was plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 little ones without everybody feeling cramped. The villa is literally 15 minutes drive from the Disney parks and Universal Studios, and a ten minute walk to a large Walmart which had all the essentials, plus gifts, clothes and much more.

The owners of the villa are very helpful and good at communicating, they provide all the information you need before you leave. I would certainly stay here again if I return to Orlando

I only have good words for this rental as well as for the owner, Tony. Owner was greatly helpful and always available for any questions we had. Very attentive to his renter's satisfaction. The villa is very well located and exceptionally clean. The pictures truly do not do justice to the place itself. The layout is fantastic, the pool is such a bonus (great size as well!), and the size is amazing for big families/groups travelling. We were 4 adults and 2 young children and we had the time of our life. Spend most of our days in the pool and the surroundings were very peaceful and relaxing. Even the communal pool was marvelous.

Was great to have so many businesses close by as well... Took us 20 minutes to get to Disney Springs! Can't get better than that!

Thank you Tony for sharing your wonderful house with us! We will definitely be back! :)

The property is just as described and exactly how it looks in the pictures. We enjoyed our stay. The place is very clean and well appointed. Beds were comfortable. Dealing with Tony the owner is a pleasure and he answers questions (emails) almost instantaneous. We particularly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The gated community is very secure with a roving security vehicle. Only had a couple of issues. The VRBO ad says "10 minutes to the theme parks". This is totally unrealistic even using the back way (eliminating half of HW 192). We averaged 30 minutes each way with a fastest of 24 minutes to the Magic Kingdom. Traffic on HW 192 is extremely busy and there are at least 10 lights. Only other thing (nit picking and kinda a pet peeve for me) the owner charges a transaction fee AFTER you settle on a price. Again, this is a personal pet peeve for me. Would have given the home 5 stars if the home was closer to the Disney theme parks.
