VRBO TOP 1% PROPERTY — Lakefront 9BR Resort • 6 King Suites • 2 Mi to Disney
Just named a VRBO TOP 1% Property Listing in Orlando/Kissimmee. Hosted by a VRBO PREMIER HOST.
This is the big-family home that ends the bedroom negotiations: six of our nine bedrooms are king master suites, so every couple gets a king bed and a private bathroom. Add a private 120" screen cinema, a 600 sq ft lakefront summer kitchen, and a 45-foot south-facing pool with its own children's splash pool — all inside the gated Formosa Gardens Estates, 2 miles (about 6 minutes) from the Walt Disney World entrance.
WHY GROUPS CHOOSE OUR VILLA
SIX KING MASTER SUITES — Every couple sleeps in a king with a private bath. Seven bathrooms total means no morning queues.
PRIVATE CINEMA — A 120" screen with luxury Italian leather recliners up front, a plush couch behind, and a bean bag for the little ones.
COVERED CABANA AND 600 SQ FT SUMMER KITCHEN — Gas grill, breakfast bar, pool table, and two dining tables seating 16, all overlooking Star Lake.
RESORT POOL DECK — 45-foot south-facing pool and jetted jacuzzi (optional heating for both), children's splash pool, a putting green, a dedicated pool bathroom with walk-in shower, and sun loungers for everyone.
ROOM TO SPREAD OUT — About 4,000 square feet, two separate living areas, and smart TVs throughout, with 65" to 70" screens in most bedrooms.
2 MILES TO DISNEY — The closest prestigious community to the parks.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (SLEEPS UP TO 20)
Master Suite: King with walk-in closet, Roman tub, and private pool access. Bedrooms 2 through 6: King. Bedroom 7: Queen. Bedrooms 8 and 9: two Twins each. Plus a fold-out double bed, best suited for two children or two smaller adults.
THE HOME Recently remodeled and updated inside and out — all new appliances, luxury mattresses, bedding, and linens throughout. Start the morning with coffee on the open-sided lanai as the breeze comes off Star Lake, then cook for the whole crew in a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and a triple breakfast bar; the dining table seats 10 more. Two separate living areas give teenagers, grandparents, and everyone in between their own space to land.
Afternoons belong to the pool deck: swim the 45-foot pool, soak in the jacuzzi, and watch the little ones in the splash pool from the shade — the dedicated pool bathroom keeps wet footprints outside. As the sun drops, fire up the gas grill in the summer kitchen and eat lakeside at tables for 16, then rack up a game of pool under the cabana while the kids take on the putting green — or bring everyone together for a film on the 120" screen, stretched out in Italian leather recliners.
At the end of the night, retreat to the grand master suite with its Roman tub and private pool access, while the rest of the group spreads out across five more king suites, a queen room, and two twin rooms — most with their own 65" to 70" smart TV.
THE LOCATION World-renowned as the closest prestigious community to Disney: the Walt Disney World Resort entrance is 2 miles from your door — Animal Kingdom to Hollywood Studios, two water parks, and Disney Springs. Universal Studios Florida, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, SeaWorld Orlando, and Discovery Cove are about 16 miles up the road. Downtown Orlando's Church Street restaurants, nightlife, and the Amway Center sit 30 miles away, with Kissimmee Lakefront Park (18 miles), kayaking at Shingle Creek Regional Park (12 miles), and Fun Spot America (15 minutes) for days off from the parks. Orlando International Airport is about 24 miles.
GOOD TO KNOW Pool and spa heating available as an optional add-on. In-unit laundry, air conditioning, free WiFi, and five free parking spaces. Baby gear available — just tell us what you need when you book. Pickleball fans: indoor courts are about 5 minutes away in the nearby shopping center. Quiet gated community on one of Formosa Boulevard's largest lots. We recently refreshed the pool deck (the former slide has been retired) — new photos coming shortly.

We celebrated my 30th birthday at this beautiful home in Orlando and it was perfect for our group of 15 adults. Close to all the attractions and being a wonderful place to relax, it was exactly what we had hoped for. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable, and exactly as advertised. The hosts were incredibly communicative and helped with everything we needed. Our entire party loved the stay, especially the cinema room, and we would absolutely book again / recommend the home!

Happy birthday, Matthew, and thank you so much for your kind review! It’s wonderful guests like you that make it such a pleasure to host our Villa. Please come back again soon!
We rented this beautiful home for the weekend as we were in town visiting family and we were not disappointed.This house was very nice. It was well stocked with everything we needed.Mr. Barry and Mrs.Jennifer were absolutely easy to communicate with.We enjoyed the pool area and spent a lot of time out side in the pool. The kids enjoyed the game room area as well. I would definitely recommend this home you want be disappointed. I saved it in my favorites so when we visit again we can book it again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Overall a very good experience. Owner was very accomodating and made sure we were happy and satisfied with the rental. Home was very clean and spacious. Worked very well for our annual golf trip. I would recommend the pool and hot tub heating for ful enjoyment of the amenities.
This house was absolutely amazing. It was clean, spacious, and had so many great amenities. The theater room, pool, outdoor pool table, and grill really made the stay special. The property sitting on the lake created the perfect atmosphere for relaxing and spending time together.The owners were incredible as well. No matter what we needed, they responded quickly and were always helpful, which made the experience even better. Everyone in our group loved this property, and the owners truly made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much, Jackie. You all were such wonderful and kind guests. We would love to have you back anytime!
Plenty of beautiful space and comfy beds. Barry is a wonderful host--offered food and to-do ideas during our stay and excellent communication. When the hot tub wasn't "hot", sent his property manager, Jennifer, over right away. Answered any and all questions about the house functions (electronics and alarms). Would stay again and bring more family!

Thank you so much Katherine. :)
You guys were great guests! Please come back soon, stay longer and bring more guests!
The house was set up perfectly to handle our group of twelve both on the patio or inside the house. The kitchen had every item we needed, including two full size refrigerators. The heated pool was great even though it was chilly during our January vacation. We can't wait to come back.
We had the BEST family vacation here! There were 18 of us staying in the home and we had plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax and be comfortable. The house was absolutely spotless and beautifully maintained, it felt welcoming the minute we walked in! The yard and pool were a huge hit! The kids swam nonstop and the adults loved relaxing by the fire pit while taking in the lake views. The big theater room was another favorite! The location was ideal, close to the parks but still very peaceful and quiet! And Barry, our host, was incredible! His communication was amazing from start to finish and he made everything so easy!!!This home truly made our trip unforgettable. We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Thank you Rob. We really do try to provide 5 star service. Thank you for your kind words!
We usually stay in a Disney property but couldn't find a place large enough to accommodate our group of 14 and ended up having an awesome stay at this comfortable home to celebrate my mom's birthday. The house was well suited for our group ranging in ages 4-70. We were so happy with the comfortable beds, the awesome game room/ theater, the pool, the hot tub and and the well stocked kitchen that had everything we needed. The location was perfect and close to the parks and we all felt like we had plenty of space to spread out for time away when needed. The host was super responsive and communication was A would definitely stay again and would certainly recommend!
I would recommend this villa and location to anyone. A clean large heated pool suitable for children of all ages, large bedrooms and a great family house. Any issues quickly addressed by an attentive owner…A great place that I would recommend to anyone…..

About the host
Hosted by Barry Levinson
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!
