3 weeks in our perfect place again
We have stayed in this villa on many occasions stretching back for several years.The reason why we choose this villa is for many reasons. Hazel and Alan are super to deal with. The information shared is succinct and accurate.
The management company KBL lead by Jane is super. They are available 247.
The villa is spacious, very clean and has all the comforts of home. The piece de resistance is the location. Fantastic lake view, not overlooked, large pool and a very accommodating lanai. This year was very special as the villa next door also owned by Hazel was home to our daughter, her husband and our grandchildren. We spent hours playing in the pool and visiting the many great restaurants close by. The area is booming with wonderful eateries. Plus publix and Target is on the doorstep. We have already booked for next summer. Superb holiday accommodation. 1 st class.

Perfect.
Just got back from 3 weeks in this lovely villa. The view and pool on the back garden was exactly what we wanted on our trip to florida. Sat watching the wildlife including gators, birds of prey, terrapins, cranes and the fish that leap out of the water, wether at night or in the day was what we wanted on our holiday when having chill time away from the parks. The inside of the villa is very spacious lovely big bedrooms with loads of wardrobe space and en suites. The villa has everything you need and more. Location is perfect to about 20-30mins away from the parks and loads of restaurants and shops within 5-10 minutes drive. Wish we was all still there and we will definately be coming back. Thanks for lending us your villa very grateful for the memories we made as a family.

Thank you David and Lucy for a brilliant review on our property. We are delighted that you had a wonderful time. Best regards, Hazel and Alan
We loved it!
Communication with the owners before and after booking was excellent.
On arrival, the instructions were easy to follow. The villa felt very spacious. The decor is slightly dated and in places could do with a lick of fresh paint but it was immaculate. I am really fussy about cleanliness, and I can honestly say, it was spotless. Im also a freak when it comes to creepy crawlies, so whenever we stay somewhere, I have to look in all the corners of the room for cobwebs etc. even the garage was spotless and the poolside.
The villa had everything you could possibly need. Each bedroom has a walk in wardrobe. So many towels, clean sheets, cutlery, cups etc. we used the pool lilos, and took the umbrellas to disney springs on a rainy say. The bikes were a great touch but sadly we didn't get to use them. We could have used the cool boxes, golf clubs, tennis rackets, ponchos, but again we didn't get to. There are plenty of books, and games available too.
The kitchen was very spacious, didn't use the dishwasher, we just washed up as we went but two tablets were left if we needed them. Great size fridge freezer and larder for all our snacks. We used the washing machine and tumble drier a few times for swimwear which was so handy. My daughter stayed in the double bedroom at the front of the house with the ensuite and she said it was the most comfortable bed she had ever slept in. AC was great. There is an alarm system that you set when leaving and disarm when you come back in, this gave us confidence, as there was no safe to use. When you open the pool door and garage door the alarm system tells you, so again great security if you have young children.
Wifi was superb, tellies in the bedroom were a little dated but were hardly used. On the odd occasion we watched telly we had access to all channels and netflix in the lounge. The sofas are really comfortable.
I was very impressed with the management company. Tropical storm Debbie arrived when we were there. I had a really friendly call from the management company to reassure us and give advice on what to do. Her predictions were spot on. It came and went so quickly, just like a normal rainy and windy day in the UK, her advice was not to be out driving in it.
The pool and outlook to the lake was my favourite. I could spend hours watching the cranes and alligator hunting (no luck unfortunately). We saw a few baby lizards about, they are so cute. The pool was cleaned once a week whilst we were there. The water was warm in August. The area of bridgewater crossing felt really safe, there is a sheriff who lives just around the corner.
The villa is about 5 minutes from Champions Gate with access to Publix, MCDonalds, Millers, Olive Garden and so many more.
The only slightly negative point is the I4.
It sometimes took over an hour to get to Universal Studios or home from those parks. Would I stay again and recommend to family and friends, absolutely. If I could, I would be booking up again for next year!! Thank you Hazel, for sharing your wonderful villa!

Holiday July 2024
We had a wonderful holiday during July 2024 at this villa. Easily booked and the owners were fantastic and helpful during the booking process.
We have stayed in a number of villas in the area over the years and this was by far our favourite. Very homely, clean and we didn't want for anything. The outside pool area was perfect, great size pool and an extended deck gave plenty of room. We spent many hours enjoying this area.
The management company were very helpful over a minor issue we had during our stay.
The villa is close to many restaurants, Publix, CVS etc. Access to I4 & State Roads is excellent.
We are definitely going to look to stay in this villa again in the future as it's a gem!

Magnificent villa with stunning views
This is our 3rd time staying in one of Hazel and Alan’s villas. The villa had everything we needed for our 16 days stay. It is very spacious, clean and the pool is perfect for lazy days for a swim and watching all the wildlife. Hazel kept in touch whenever we needed questions answered. The area of Champions Gate is very close by and has various restaurants, pharmacies and Publix for your groceries. Heading back next year but staying in a hotel as only one of our sons is coming with us but already planning our 2026 visit to do the new Epic Universe park with all our family and Hazel will be the first person I will contact for a villa rental.

Magical holiday home with a great lake view .
We just returned from Florida ( 30/06/2024 )
having stayed in Hazel & Alan’s Bridgewater Crossing home. The villa itself had everything we needed and more. It was very comfortable, spacious and clean. The pool area was amazing. The lake view was a delight as it was very natural with a surrounding leafy area. There was always wildlife going around. Cranes, ducks, turtles & of course the occasional small gator. They’re nothing to worry about though. If you don’t bother them they won’t bother you.
Hazels communication & directions for finding the villa, acquiring the key from the lock box & using the alarm system were spot on. Everything was very easy & Disney is literally just up the road.
I would definitely recommend this home if you’re planning a villa holiday to Florida soon. We will be returning here soon. Thanks to Hazel & Alan the owners & Jane at the management co for making sure everything was perfect for us.

The villa has everything you need and you will be guaranteed a wonderful and comfortable stay . The bedrooms are lovely all with very comfortable beds and plenty of room , the master suite bed is fabulous ( super king size ) . A great variety of shops and restaurants are just a short drive away. And the absolute icing on the cake is the oversize pool with the wonderful view of a pond .

Great place
Great communication from the start and Hazel was so very helpful. We had plenty of information and the directions got us there without any problems. We have visited Florida many times over the years and this is our favourite place to stay, the location is great and close to a supermarket and eating places, close it get onto the I4 but most of all we love the view from the pool area, it is so beautiful, south facing which many villas aren’t and it’s not overlooked and the wildlife and view of the lake is amazing. Great sized pool and seating area. Comfortable and good sized place to stay, that is clean and well equipped. Our stay was everything we hoped, and we would love to stay again.

Amazing Villa
Anyone looking to book for a Florida holiday, should book this villa, it is perfect with 4 beds and 3 bathrooms, there is everything you need in the villa for all your home comforts plus more. The villa is cleaned and maintained by KBL management who are also very good. The pool area is fantastic with sunbeds and outside dinning, and a beautifull pool. The pool area overlooks lakes and lovely scenery, with an abundance of wildlife squirrels, birds and a cheeky alligator in the lake, who keeps himself to himself.
The villa is very close to all the parks attractions and restaurants and especially the designer outlets if you like shopping.
This is the 3rd time I have booked with Hazel and Alan and the correspondence, regarding bookings directions and information needed is brilliant. I can highly recommend this villa to anyone looking to book to have a Florida experience .

Fantastic, peaceful villa.
We had a fantastic 14 day stay at this great villa. Very peaceful and quiet, not overlooked by any other villa. The consent sun helped us spend a lot of time on the spacious pool deck. The pool was heated and we all loved spending time in it especially our 2 grandsons (1 and 4). Everything you will need for a enjoyable stay is in this villa. A great benefit was that the Disney parks were only 15 mins away. We will be back..

We have stayed here so many times, disrupted by covid for 2 years up to 2022.
We appreciated any questions we may have had were responded to quickly, which they were.
Hazel is on the ball. Thankfully.
The villa provides us with everything we need. The lake view is superb and you are not overlooked, which is so impt to us.
Amazing restaurants close by, Millers, Chilli’s, Ford garage, Longhorns. Great modern publix and shops at Championsgate to visit. We class this as our 2 nd home. 4 great sized bedrooms and bathrooms so plenty of room for families. A great kitchen for families to be together and enjoy the humour generated We are back next year for 3 weeks already booked and our daughter and family next door in another if Hazels amazing villas.

123 Hills Bay Drive - The Perfect Getaway.
Having taken our holidays at many rental properties over the years on our numerous visits to Florida, this villa has to be one of the very best that we have had the pleasure to stay in.
Looking at the description and photos on the villa website, the place looked perfect for our family party of six - a mix of young and not so young!
And it was.
Booking was very easy and we found the owners a pleasure to deal with. They had our dates available - so all we now wanted was to get there!
We noticed as soon as we arrived at the villa that unlike may holiday homes, the property had obviously been furnished to a very high standard with many extras and nice touches that made other villa holiday rentals we have taken in the past look bare and uninviting. Every room was clean and nothing was out of place; a credit to the owners Hazel and Allan, along with KBL (their Management Company).
The villa is spacious, with good size bedrooms, good sized bathrooms, an open lounge and a pool area that we found hard to tear ourselves away from; this is the real "jewel" of the villa. The large pool deck had plenty of loungers & chairs for us all. Was usually bathed in sunshine throughout the day on our visit, although we did retreat to the covered lanai for some shade when things got too hot; took many a dip in the nicely formed pool as well. The grandchildren were in the pool every day – so much fun for them. We loved the outlook from the deck, with no adjacent properties being too close for comfort.
The villa is located in Bridgewater Crossing, a community located just off Ronald Reagan Parkway and in what we have become to firmly believe as being at the "right end" of the cluster of existing and new developments stretching from Highway 27 in the west to the Orange Blossom Trail to the east; go further north (or south) and you become a little isolated. Bridgewater Crossing is close to Interstate 4 and Country Road 532 (Ronald Reagan Parkway) where, at Champions Gate, you will find a superb Publix Supermarket, gas stations and restaurants a plenty - Millers Ale House, Olive Garden (Italian) Longhorn (Steaks) and a soon to be opened Fords (American), etc. The community is well placed, nicely laid out and maintained to high standard - all good reasons why we are attracted to it.
So to sum up, we found that 123 Hills Bay Drive met our needs perfectly and made our holiday the pleasure it was; we appreciated the attention to detail that made our stay something a bit special.
We are already looking to plan our return visit; we do not want to be disappointed should we choose somewhere else.

Wonderful
Stayed in this delightful villa late April, early May 2023. Over the years we have stayed in many villas in the area and this one was by far the best.
It has everything needed for a wonderful holiday. Great layout, spacious and well furnished. Such a gorgeous place to stay, plus it has a great pool, which is private, south facing and overlooking a lake. Plenty of wildlife to enjoy.
The villa and it's location, in a very quiet and friendly neighbourhood, is perfect for visiting theme parks, the many other attractions nearby, exploring “natural” Florida or simply relaxing. Shops, restaurants, supermarkets etc are but a short drive away.
The owner (Hazel) was lovely, very helpful and communication was excellent. Same for Jane from the management company .
Hopefully we will be able to return and enjoy staying in this villa once more.
Highly recommended

Perfect vacation!
We are sitting, relaxing by the pool on our last day at this beautiful villa, watching the wildlife wander by. We have had such a fabulous time. The villa came well equipped, with plenty of space around the pool deck area. The pool being south facing, came to be our go-to place.
There is a lovely open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area where we gathered to work out our plans for the next day. Super easy to socialise. Bridgewater Crossing was centrally located for us. The Publix Supermarket at Loughman Crossing was our go-to for supplies. You drive past the petrol station to get to Publix; everything is within a short drive.
Hazel made the rental process very easy, providing all the information needed to enable us to get from the airport to the villa without any hassle. The management company, Jean specifically, responded promptly and resolved a minor issue without hassle. Everything has gone so smoothly this holiday that we have booked our next vacation home with Hazel.

Wonderful villa
Fantastic two week stay here in this super villa which we absolutely loved. The south facing pool and patio is just amazing either in the heat of the afternoon or for a quiet moment at night. You are not overlooked here which is a major plus. The villa really feels like a home and not just a rental which we feel makes a big difference, Hazel and Alan clearly take pride in this home and look after their guests from the very first enquiry to the end of the stay. The kitchen is very well equipped and all the rooms are so spacious. Added to this is the super location of Bridgewater Crossing, close to everything you could ask for and the neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Thanks for a wonderful stay and so many memories to take away, we genuinely look forward to staying here again sooner rather than later!

We have been to Florida many times with our family and always have a wonderful time. Staying in this villa made our holiday all the more special. We spent days around the pool, relaxing in the sunshine, overlooking the lake. Breakfast and lunch eaten on the deck, dipping in the pool to cool down.
The villa has everything you would want or need. On arrival we found the villa immaculate, it really was so lovely after a long flight to find that the accommodation was faultless.
Nearby at Championsgate there are plenty of restaurants, supermarket and shops. It was great after a long day to be able to eat locally and drive 5 minutes home.
Bridgewater Crissimgs is in a great location, easy access to the I4 which leads to the attractions, which means nothing is too far away.
Hazel the owner was so helpful before we travelled , answering all of my questions and giving advise on places to visit. We will without doubt be booking this villa again, it was truly perfect !

We had a great time in the villa. Clean, tidy, every thing we needed. Pool was amazing and set in a really nice surrounding. Pool was overlooking a lake with Florida wildlife. Felt very safe place as well. The management company were great accommodating a late check out as we had a late flight. Would definitely go again, thanks Hazel.

Another lovely stay
Just returned from our 4th stay in one of the two properties and had a lovely time once again
The villa is lovely and spacious and you never feel on top of one another.
The villa was lovely and clean with plenty of towels including for around the pool
The pool area is a nice place to chill after a park day and we just love that you are not really overlooked and you gets lots of wildlife going past.
It’s a great location for all the parks and the Champions Gate area nearby has plenty of places to eat.
Will certainly be booking up again for visit number 5

Villa very clean and stocked with all you require to get on with your holiday.
Pool and outside area cannot be beaten for cooling off in the pool after sunbathing on the deck which is in full sun all day! to wildlife watching around the lake.
Small problem with Wi-Fi but the management company were excellent and sorted things immediately.

Amazing
This villa was one of the main reasons my stay was so amzing. It has everything a family could want, I’m a smoothie person and they even had a blender. Provided towels for the pool and the water parks, enough towels for each person after showering. I was a bit worried about the pool and my 3 yr old waking up in the night and having a wonder, this was not a problem as all doors have alarms on so if any child opens them the alarms go off. It is close to all supermarkets, alcohol stores, petrol station, pharmacy and the most important Disney parks and 40 mins from universal.
The view whilst in the outdoor door pool is amazing and was the highlight of my day.
I’ve had the best time with my family and loved this villa.

LOVED this Villa
We had an amazingly relaxed week in this beautiful villa. Chilling by the pool, overlooking the peaceful lake was wonderful after not being away for such a long time. A large deck area, south facing and private too, meant sunbathing and lunches by the pool, it was truly lovely.
The villa was spotlessly clean, quality furnished and contained everything we needed, the owners had thought of everything! It was such a great feeling when we arrived from the airport…we had definitely chosen well!
We will be contacting Hazel shortly to arrange our next stay in this beautiful villa.

Wonderful villa, lovely owners
We stayed in this gorgeous home in September 2019 with our 3 year old. We know the area well, however had never previously stayed on this particular development. Well... having now done so, I don't think we would ever stay anywhere else. What a wonderful location and probably the best villa we've ever stayed in (we've been to Florida approximately 30 times so this really is saying something). The owners were absolutely fantastic, on hand for anything we needed, not that there was much to need as everything is catered for in this lovely villa. The pool deck and view from it are definitely the best we've had at any villa, truly spoiled, especially when the local alligator came out of his lake to say hi. Peaceful location but close enough to all the action, beautifully kept villa with all the facilities you could possibly need and lovely, communicative owners. We would highly recommend this to any Florida goers and have already booked our second stay here.

Stayed at the Villa end May 2019, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality villa. It has everything you would need, and the small lake at the back even had a small resident Alligator. It is in a quiet road, 5 minutes from Champions Gate, which has lots of restaurants and is easy to access the I4 highway. The owner had provided us with plenty of information prior to arrival and her management company were on hand if we needed anything while we were there.

We are four 60+ seniors who have stayed in this community for the past 4 years and we thoroughly enjoyed it for the 6 weeks we were there. The house is very comfortable, well maintained, beautifully decorated with all amenities needed. It is a quiet neighbourhood, easy to get around and close to attractions, golf and shopping. The lanai covered pool area is large with shade area to get out of the sun and the pond is an bonus with lots of various wildlife to watch. We have met both the owners and management company, who are all accommodating and wonderful to deal with. We had a couple of issues with the phone and pool heat that were immediately dealt with. Highly recommend this property.

Fabulous family holiday!
As soon as we arrived at this beautiful villa we knew our holiday was going to be amazing, and we weren't wrong! Spacious, clean, well furnished with the most fabulous pool and view across the lake.
Our holiday consisted of days out at the theme parks followed by relaxing days around the pool and villa. When the relaxing got too much for our teenage sons they loved strolling over to the basketball area to shoot some hoops. We used the bikes to cycle around the quiet community and on a couple of occasions cycled to the nearby Champions Gate area to do a bit of food shopping and get lunch at Subway.
The location is fantastic, close to everything you may need but thankfully not amongst the busy tourist areas. We drove to beautiful Clearwater beach for the day which was lovely and only took an hour.
To be honest the best days for me were relaxing around the pool. Totally secluded and south facing so plenty of sunshine. Lovely to have lunch out on the deck in the shady area. The villa itself is beautifully furnish and has everything you may need. Hazel was very helpful before the holiday, giving us useful information. We will be back again very soon as the holiday was amazing and the villa everything we imagined and more!

Perfect Villa
We have just arrived back from 3 weeks in this stunning villa. This was our 6th visit to Florida and this villa certainly ticked all the boxes where others haven’t. We woke up every morning to a stunning view and the local wildlife around the lake only added to this. It’s in an ideal location, close to Publix, restaurants and the Disney parks but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet after a long day at the parks or shopping.
We spent a lot of time relaxing in the villa and the pool size was important to us and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The villa had everything we needed and there was plenty of room for the 7 of us. We had a small problem with the washing machine whilst we were there and the management company were fantastic and it was sorted the same day, nothing was too much trouble for them.
I would like to thank Hazel and Allan again for letting us stay in there stunning villa and we will definitely be returning in the future.

Just back from a 22 day holiday staying in Hazel and Alans villa. It more than met our expectations. Plenty of space for our family of 5. The villa was very easy to find with the directions we where given. We have stayed in this area before and this villa was definitely the best one we have stayed in. Location is perfect with plenty of restaurants, shops, petrol stations and fast food outlets near by at Championsgate. Large deck area, the pool is a great size which my boys loved. The views are breathtaking with plenty of wildlife to sit and watch. Everything you need is in the villa including golf clubs which my hubby made full use of. Have been to Florida 14 times now and this is the best villa we have stayed in. Coming back in 2020 and hope to come back to one of Hazel and Alans villa.

We have stayed in Davenport area for several years, but this villa, by far has been the best! It was very clean, nice décor and completely equipped with everything you might need plus much more. Golf clubs, bicycles and pool toys that we used. We had a lot of company visit during the month and enjoyed sunshine all afternoon in the south facing pool. Owners were great to deal with and the management company couldn't have been nicer. We would, without reservation, recommend this property to friends and relatives.

Yet another relaxing stay
We have just arrived back from our lovely 2 week stay in another one of Hazel and Alan's Villas. I would really struggle to book a different villa as I am very fussy and this villa meets all of our needs. I clumsily broke a really nice cup - but it was not a worry for Hazel and Alan who happened to be staying next door during our stay - we got to know them a little and they were very genuine and interested in us - my son has a basket ball game date with them when we next visit which I am hoping will be next May after his exams. The basketball court a minutes walk from the villa was worn out by him and we played tennis on the courts also. My son and Husband rode around on the bikes from the garage every day and we swam about ten miles in the large pool - the view of the lake coupled with the local Crane coming for his tea every day ( one small slice of Italian bread from publics hand fed) - was just lovely. We have been to Florida 8 times now 3 times at Hazels and Alan's villas and will continue to book again just as soon as we can.

The area has developed a lot in a year since our last visit and now has a few restaurants a short drive from the villa. The villa is very clean.

First Class In Every Respect
This was our second visit to 123 Hills Bay Drive and we cannot recommend it highly enough. We have been visiting the Kissimmee/Davenport area of Florida for over 20 years and this is simply the best all-round villa we have stayed in. It is very well equipped not just with the ‘standard’ items that one may wish to find but lots of little extras as well such as, bicycles for each member of a family of 2 adults and 2 children, a full set of golf clubs with balls, tees etc. especially handy for use in the adjacent award winning Champions Gate golf complex. We had previously brought our grandson out and Hazel and Alan even made arrangements to provide a booster seat for our hire vehicle as required by local law. There is even a set of rain ponchos for each member of the family. All of this was arranged or provided at no extra cost.
We spent many a happy hour sitting by the South-facing pool watching the abundant birdlife around and on the adjacent lake over which you have uninterrupted views. Additionally, we appreciated the fact that the garage had been left as a garage. This is a very big plus point when the temperature, even during our visit in March, rose on many occasions to over 30° C with the resultant unbearably hot conditions in an exposed vehicle.
The villa is very popular but is kept in first-class order with regular maintenance. The Management Company are also extremely approachable and accommodating. All of this, on its own, would be sufficient to merit the highest recommendation. However, combined with the sympathetic and generous attitude of the owners Hazel and Alan it is a pleasure to stay there. We are currently planning our next visit.

Wonderful Villa...we loved it!
We have rented many villa's before but this is by far the best we have ever stayed in. The peaceful, private location was such a bonus to our family. We spent many afternoons relaxing around the pool overlooking the lake with not a soul around. This is so unlike some villa's we have stayed in when the pools are literally back to back!
The deck area is large, so plenty of room for sun beds and dining outside for our family.
When we arrived at the villa and opened the door for the first time our first words were WOW as our children ran excitably around exploring. Every room is co ordinated, clean, light and airy. We knew we were going to have a great holiday in this wonderful villa.
Hazel, the owner has thought of everything to make your stay that little bit more comfortable. From the well equipped kitchen to the beach towels and cool box should you decide to venture to the coast for the day.
Lastly I will mention the location, which we found to be ideal. Literally a few minutes from the I4 means you are on route to the parks so quickly. Only a few minutes from Publix the supermarket and fast-food chains is convenient too. The community of Bridgewater Crossing is well maintained and has the benefit of tennis courts, basketball and a community pool. Our children enjoyed the basketball area and cycled over a couple of times.
In summary, we had the most wonderful holiday in Orlando. Made all the more special by staying in this beautiful accommodation. Would we recommend it? Most definitely yes! Would we book the villa again? YES ! Already booked :)

The house has everything required for a comfortable stay and is located in a really nice area.
The pool area is lovely, with a great outlook onto a small lake.

I would recommend this property to anyone looking for an "Orlando" holiday.

We love the location of the villa; it is close to theme parks, local shops and amenities but is quiet and relaxing overlooking the lake. The condition of the villa is excellent and has everything you could need on a holiday like this.
The information provided before heading out is first class and the management company who look after you out there are excellent.
We have no hesitation in recommending the villa and hope to stay in one of Hazel’s properties again in the future.

Another fabulous stay at Bridgewater Crossing
We have stayed at this property before and again, we were not disappointed. The villa is well cared for and everything you could need has been provided. We particularly like the location which is quiet enough away from the hustle and bustle of Disney but close enough to be there within 20mins! All information you would need is provided before you leave the UK and the villa is spotlessly clean. We will be sure to return again!

Amazing Time!
Thank you so much for renting us your beautiful villa. Both Hazel and the management company were so helpful leading up to and during our holiday. Bridgewater Crossing is so peaceful, with all the amenities close by. The view of the swimming pool and lake made lazy days by the pool such a joy. The villa was spotless with everything catered for. We didn't want to leave! We would love to stay again on our next trip to Florida!

Kirsteen, David and Thomas, thank you so much for taking the time to write a brilliant review of your stay in our Florida Villa. Delighted that you would like to stay again. Kind regards, Hazel
Fabulous villa in a wonderful location
What can we say about such a wonderful villa. Your villa had been highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Following your clear instructions we had no problems getting to the villa from the airport. We found the villa beautifully clean and welcoming with the pool being particularly welcome for an early morning dip before breakfast. It is close enough to all the attractions and amenities but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Three weeks flew by and we really did not want to leave. Thank you Hazel for helping to make our first visit to America so memorable. Would love to come again in the future.

Thank you Alison and Gary for an excellent review of our villa. We are actually staying there at the moment, hence the delay in my response to your review.
Hopefully you will make contact if you holiday in Florida in the future.
Kind regards,
Hazel and Alan
Great value for money
Just wanted to say thanks to Hazel for a great stay in your villa. Everything was provided for including a huge washing machine / dryer so you can take all clothes home clean! The villa was big enough for two families to share comfortably with a larger than average swimming pool. All towels provided. It was approx 30 minutes drive to Universal / sea world etc, but Disney and shopping only 15 minutes away. The villa has lovely views from the pool over looking the lake where we were visited by the old bird and even an alligator. Great stay and value for money. Thanks again.

A Wonderful Villa with easy access to Disney Parks
Thank you Hazel for such a wonderful stay in your villa. It was just like home from home with everything provided for even including the rain macs! The villa was bright and spacious clean and comfortable and approx 12 minutes drive to the Disney Parks. The area was very peaceful and the villa has lovely views from the pool over looking the lake. We hope to return again in near future and recommend this villa to all.
