Start your morning with a hot cup of coffee on the open-sided lanai as you catch the fresh breeze of Star Lake. Take a dip in your 45-foot private pool then relax in the jetted jacuzzi as you keep an eye on the youngsters enjoying the splash pool. Before heading inside, use the pool bathroom with a walk-in shower to save wet footprints from trailing over the pristine interior.

Unwind with a good book on the private terrace and admire the picturesque views off Star Lake while the kids play a competitive game of billiards in the game room. Finish the night together with a film in your custom designed, private cinema providing comfortable seating for 16 in front of the 120" screen.

As your eyes begin to grow heavy, retreat to your grand master suite boasting a king bed, walk-in closet, private pool access, and a large en-suite bathroom with a Roman tub.

OTHER PAST REVIEWS
NOTE: We recently took over reservation management from Evolve and unfortunately, all the great reviews did not transfer.
Here are some of them below:

A great vacation home, just outside Disney World.
5* * * * *
We were at this home for a week with our kids and grandkids (8 adults and 7 children). It worked perfectly for us. Great pool and spa and "theater room" with free Netflix all got heavy use when we were there, and all Disney World attractions are literally 10 minutes away. The pool enclosure works particularly well because there is a large, shaded outdoor "room" where the adults could sit and watch the kids in the pool. The house is on a small lake in a very safe neighborhood and pretty setting. We found the owners to be extraordinarily responsive and helpful with our questions. We have stayed at similar vacation properties in Florida in the past and rate this one very highly.

BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY - BIRTHDAY VILLA
5* * * * *
I chose to rent this beautiful villa for my 50th Birthday Celebrations, it did not disappoint. I can go as far as to say, it was certainly the best villa we have ever stayed in. It was much larger than we thought, we had plenty of space for everyone, the kids loved the Movie Room and the Pool. We loved chilling out in the huge Summer kitchen. It was very clean and superbly appointed. I could not have wished for more.

FANTASTIC LOCATION - FANTASTIC PROPERTY
5* * * * *
Our family had the most fantastic stay in this property. The location really is the very best, only a few minutes to Disney and only a few minutes to some great restaurants, catering for all tastes and prices. If you prefer to eat at home, you are spoilt by the variety of Supermarkets to choose from, these are also, only minutes away. The Property is huge and very well maintained it has everything you can imagine and more. The pool area is spectacular and very private overlooking a gorgeous lake. The whole family loved our experience in Formosa Gardens, we would thoroughly recommend this property and can't wait for our return next year.

SIMPLY THE BEST
5* * * * *
We choose this Villa for our family reunion in July, mainly because it had 9 large bedrooms, a huge outside pool and deck area, a cinema and the furnishings looked beautiful. Upon arrival it did not disappoint, in fact the photos did not do it justice, it really is the best Villa we have ever stayed in. Our family of 16, ranges from 8 years old to 80 years old, yet everyone had the most fantastic time, we spent the first week in the theme parks and thankfully chose to relax for the second week in the villa, we only wish we could have extended our stay. It is so well equipped and spotlessly clean, it is exactly as described and I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. The bonus is it is so close to Disney and just around the corner from some excellent restaurants and supermarkets. Without doubt one of the best locations we have ever stayed in.

PERFECT VACATION
5* * * * *
This house was absolutely perfect for our stay earlier this year. It was very clean and tidy for our arrival and the furnishing were exactly to our taste. The weather was fabulous for the entirety of our stay, we probably used the outside Summer Kitchen and pool more than any other area , the kids loved the slide, everything about this outdoor area with such a large pool made the stay extra special. The house had all the amenities as described and is in a great location, only minutes from some lovely restaurants. Overall, we would be more than happy to return to this property again and highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing house

Party of 15. 8 adults and 7 children. We had the best holiday ever in the most amazing house that catered for our every need. We only wish we could do it every year. Wonderful hosts who were extremely helpful throughout the booking process and answered every query we had during our stay. Would highly recommend for a large group.

Kissimmee House

Property was as listed. Very comfortable for our group of 14. Pool was a little cool the 1st 2 days. Maybe if the pool heater was started earlier on day 1, the 2nd day might have been better. Overall good location and lots of activities at the house to keep all ages busy. The owner was very attentive to our needs and questions. Thanks for sharing your home!

"Exceptional"

Spacious and very comfortable house, perfect for spending a few days with family. It’s fully equipped, even if you’re traveling with a baby, as it has all the necessary amenities. The location is ideal, very close to the Orlando parks, making it even more convenient. Communication with the owners was excellent—always attentive and helpful. Definitely a highly recommended house, and we would absolutely stay here again. Five well-deserved stars!

Star of the Show!

I simply cannot say enough positive things about this property as well as its owner and management. This home is clean, beautiful, tastefully appointed, and clearly well cared for. The interior is decorated in a way that manages to feel both comfortable and upscale. The bed linens are so soft. All of us enjoyed the mattresses. The bath towels are perfect. The movie room is even better than the photos. Five downstairs bedrooms, four with ensuites was a wonderful touch for our several family members who do not handle stairs well. The kitchen had plenty of seasonings and extras that were wonderful additions to our stay. The screened in pool with water slide was a hit for our entire family. The covered lanai boasts a large outdoor television, a pool table, a fantastic outdoor kitchen, a counter height fire pit dining table with chairs, and a large array of very comfortable seating. We spent most of our free time outside. There is also access to an actual back yard with space to play cornhole or whatever else you might desire. The real piece that makes this property stand out, however, is its owner and management. Barry, the homeowner, is the single best host I have ever dealt with for a vacation rental. He and Jenn, the property manager, are a great team and both clearly care about their property and renters. Barry reached out on a regular basis to make sure we had everything we needed. You absolutely cannot go wrong by renting this home!

Best home and backyard ever

We were there for a cheer competition. Four couples and two teens until the last night when when our 4 cheerleaders joined us. This home has everything you could need or want. Fully equipped, best backyard. All beds super comfy. I have been renting homes in Orlando area for over ten years and this is the best. I wish I could have given more stars to communication. Any questions I sent before or during our stay were promptly answered by the home owner, Barry. Seriously replies were within minutes. I believe Barry honestly cares that his home is beyond expectation and he goes the extra mile to help with anything even if it just for advice. I have never stayed in the same place twice, mainly just to try different homes, but we plan to be back same time next year.

Three generations of family for Family wedding

This property is stunning! The location was perfect and the host was very accommodating. We spent four nights there with three generations of our family and friends before our daughter’s wedding and we enjoyed every minute we were there. My 26 year old son was able to fish right from the back yard and caught several large mouth Bass before releasing then back into the pond. The pool was amazing, the house is extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly want. For large families or group of friends this is definitely the perfect option.

What a great find!

The house suited our needs perfectly and had everything we needed and more! We heartily recommend staying here. The casita provided excellent private and separate accommodations for our aunt who is not accustomed to being in a house noisy with kiddie activity. If the weather had been warmer we would have loved using the pool and hot tub. The owner called to be certain that all was in order and was easily available when we had a question. What you see online is what you get - clean and inviting.

Best Thanksgiving Getaway

Our family plans a yearly Thanksgiving week getaway and this home, by far, was the best one in Florida. Barry, the owner, is a pleasure to deal with. Every question we had was answered immediately. He went above and beyond for us. As to the home itself, the kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms are beautiful with super comfortable beds (the high end linens are definitely a plus), the bathrooms are roomy, the theater has an amazing large screen with soft and luxurious seating (all football games were watched there), the pool area was one of my favorites (after cooking during the day, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind), the laundry room was perfect for such a large group as the extra dryer came in very handy. I cannot say enough good things about this home and its owner, Barry. Next FL Thanksgiving will be here again.

Heated Pool to Heated Toilet Seats

Very nice security gated neighborhood easily within minutes of the Disney theme parks. Convenient grocery, restaurants and drugstores. The only downside is we had filled our days with park activities . Upon arrival Barry asked us to make some time to enjoy the house. We watched two football games in the theater and swam late each night. Tremendous amount of private spaces to remote work if needed. We will not have to look for a home to rent at Disney any longer , we found it and are all checking dates for next year.

Wonderful Escape!

My family and I had a wonderful time reconnecting in Barry's home. It is spacious enough to be a vacation destination onto itself. Close to many points of interest, the location is convenient yet private and quiet in a gated community. The water from the small lake and nice size swimming pool was tranquil and relaxing for us to unwind and recharge from our busy lives. The choice of linens is most appreciated with 100% crisp, white cotton. I highly recommend booking with Barry. He and Jennifer are most attentive to all your needs and requests. Sending a huge thank you to both of them for assisting us with everything from heating the spa to returning forgotten items to us. Enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Barry Levinson

Host profile image
Katrina and I have been coming to Orlando even before we started our family because there is just something magical about this place! Once we had kids, we loved coming with both of our extended families. Not only was Orlando a great place to go see Mickey, but there were so many other fun things to do, including spending a day at the beaches, Universal Studios, the food and just relaxing in the area. We also found Orlando to be a great base of operations to enjoy many of the wonders within an hour from Orlando like Kennedy Space Center, beautiful beaches on both sides of the coast and lots of natural attractions.

Why they chose this property

In the past, we never had a enough room for our extended families and friends to all stay in one place together. So, when we saw Villa Formosa was for sale last year, we knew we had to have it. Although we loved the old look of the property, we felt it was time for a complete makeover. And that's just what we did! Starting with the flooring, we replaced it all with deep rich carpets and very modern plank flooring. We wanted the home to have a warm and comfortable look, so we replaced 9 bedrooms of furniture and redid all of the bathrooms. We redecorated the home to make it clean, comfortable and inviting, but not pretentious! This is a place that we spend quite a bit of our own time in, so we spared no expense to make this a showplace that you will be pleased and proud to bring family friends to.

What makes this property unique

One of the great features of this property is that you can spend all day at the resort pool and cabana area and you will truly feel that you have spent a day in paradise. We love making half-day trips to Disney and then popping back home in 10 minutes to have a wonderful cookout by the pool where we challenge each other to a round of put put. Our friends and their kids love to catch fish in the lake behind our home. So there is fun for everyone. If you love playing billiards like we do, you will have great fun playing a game of pool on our beautifully recovered pool table.

You are around 10 minutes from Disney, yet at home, you are on a beautiful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. It's a unique place to unwind and make beautiful memories with those closest to you!
