Wonderful Villa




Mary and Brad's villa is well located, enabling easy access to the many theme parks, several excellent restaurants, and to the malls and outlet stores. The villa is spacious and easily accommodates a larger family without compromising individual family members personal space! We particularly liked the villa layout and the well designed extension of the living area into the spacious lanai ensuring that you can still enjoy outside dining even when the occasional Florida shower occurs. The large (30') pool was very popular with all the family and it was, if anything, more appealing by virtue of receiving the sun throughout the day.
The generous games room was also high on the popularity list with our family....Excellent!
It was also useful for us to know in advance the Mary and Brad had very thoughtfully provided, for the use of their guests: strollers, cots, infant car seats, in addition to the PC with Wifi. Certainly the strollers, cot etc. meant that we could travel with slightly less baggage....we had a 2 year old in our party.
I was very impressed with the whole booking process and prompt responses/ replies given by Mary throughout; this can be very reassuring for first time guests.

Amazing!




Just wanted to thank you again for the use of the villa. It was simply amazing, and I am so happy that I booked it when I did . If only it hadn't been booked directly after us, I may have been asking for a couple of extra nights.
Your management team is the best one we have dealt with in our 9 years of visiting Florida. We have stayed at villas where we couldn't reach anyone, anytime, for anything. Once I even had to call England and wake up the owner of the villa because the smoke alarms were going off and the management company would not answer the phone. So, your company rates an A+!
The villa & pool were wonderful, and thanks to mother nature, we got our fair share of sun. Sad to say that we are returning home to over 3' of snow.... we had hoped it would melt while we were away, but no such luck. I will never judge a pool by its direction again. The amount of sun we received was perfect. It was nice not to have to fight over the loungers by the pool, and the pool toy box was a nice surprise. The only, only thing I would change is one big table under the lanai for the family to eat at. Since there was only five of us, we ate at the table with the umbrella for all but two of our nights here. The spa was great - having it's own control meant that it was hot when we wanted it hot, and a mini pool when we didn't.
Well equipped describes the villa interior - and we appreciate all the 'extras' you have put into making it self sufficient and comfortable. The tv/sat/audio controls are a bit confusing, but manageable. Having all of the switches marked makes life so much easier, as does the reminder notes for important things (the tv!)
FYI - one of the first things we do is read the information binder provided. We appreciate all of the information that is collected to help make our stay as easy as possible. Thanks again

Perfect base for a fab holiday in sunny Florida



We stayed in this particular villa a few years ago when it had another owner so we knew the villa and area well. Hampton Lakes is a lovely, quiet estate of villas and this particular one met all our expectations. We like that it is close to I4 and although most days involved a road trip of some kind we just accepted that it was part of our holiday. The villa is close to a reasonably sized Publix supermarket and a very large Walmart about 5 miles away for everything you could possibly need, though quality at Publix is slightly better especially the freshly cooked chicken tenders! The villa is well equipped, clean and well maintained with everything required for self catering. The games room has a wide range of activities for all the family. The villa was much bigger than our party of six needed but we loved the space and the huge decked area and ample outdoor furniture is more than enough for at least two families. We also liked the fact that three of the five bedrooms have en-suites so lots of privacy too. Free high speed wi-fi and free local and international calls were an added bonus. The booking, payment and security bond refund process was all straight forward, no problems at all and contact with the owner was efficient and friendly. A personalised card to welcome us to the villa was a lovely touch by the management company. We didn't really have any real contact with the management company other than a couple of visits to the villa for routine maintenance so cannot really comment on the customer service but I suppose the fact we didn't have to contact them demonstrates the fact that we had no issues whatsoever. We would definitely recommend the villa to other guests and plan to return again ourselves in the future. We visited all the most common parks including Seaworld, Busch Gardens, Universal, Islands of Adventure and Disney ( only the girls though!) as we have been to Orlando several times before. We have been to most of the parks so this time only focused on our favourites. Best restaurants we visited include Texas de Brazil (fab salad bar and beef/lamb/pork), Bahama Breeze (brill onion rings, burgers and bahamarita), Cafe D'Antonio (in Celebration - must visit) and the Cheesecake Factory (fruity raspberry martini, delicious pulled pork and magically stunning lemon and raspberry cheesecake). Villa not too far from Premium Outlets on Vineyard Avenue - fab shopping! Orlando can be as relaxing or busy as you wish and this villa is the perfect base.
