Location
Highlands Reserve villas located in Davenport, Florida just off HWY27. This luxury villa rental, golf course community is a great place from which explore all the world famous Orlando attractions. As you enter the community you drive down the main tree lined Highlands Reserve Blvd and pass the clubhouse on your right. Various golf holes can also be seen from either side of the road. The community also has a children’s play area. NO SERVICE FEE
The Highlands Reserve villa community is split into seven subdivisions. Most have golf related names you will recognise including, Troon, Belfry and Gleneagles. If the names inspire you to enjoy a round of golf, then tee times can be booked at the clubhouse. The course is ideal for golfers of all levels. With wide open fairways, undulating greens and only one water hazard on the tenth hole.
For a different golfing experience why not try the Country Club at Champions Gate or Ridgewood Lakes both of which are nearby. Other local courses include Southern Dunes, Reunion Resort (3 courses) and Champions Gate (2 courses). So many options so little time!
If you are in Orlando to visit the theme parks then Highlands Reserve is a great location with Disney World's main gate only 15 minutes away. Whilst, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and SeaWorld are around 25 minutes away by car.
Fancy a day at the beach, no problem, Highlands Reserve is located about an hour from either coast. Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic is great for surfing. Whilst, Clearwater Beach on the Gulf Coast is ideal for swimming or relaxing in the calm warm waters, which live up to it’s name!
Highlands Reserve Florida Villas in Davenport
All our Highlands Reserve Davenport villas are located around 35 minutes from Orlando International Airport (MCO). Sanford (SFB) and Tampa (TPA) airports are just over an hour away. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic fly direct to Orlando and Tampa along with a number of other airlines. Most tour operators like Thomson fly into Sanford airport.
A great advantage of staying on Highlands Reserve is the size of the lots the villas are built on. Having oversized lots means the homes are not right on top of each other, which you often see on other Orlando villa communities.
Guests come back year after year to Highlands Reserve making it one of the most popular villa communities in Orlando. With its great location, excellent golf course and larger than normal homes, it’s easy to see why!
Highlands Reserve Villas: Driving Distances to the Theme Parks
We have added the actual driving distances to the main Orlando theme parks. These are not the distances to the main gate which most people quote, but to the car park for each attraction.
Most journeys to the parks are via highways or the main I-4 Interstate. Driving at speeds of 55-65 MPH makes it quick to get there, and all attractions are well sign posted.
- Animal Kingdom - 11 miles
- Hollywood Studios - 13 miles
- Magic Kingdom - 15 miles
- Epcot - 15 miles
- SeaWorld - 21 miles
- Universal Studios - 24 miles
Shops and Restaurants near Highlands Reserve
Highlands Reserve is located along HWY27 in Davenport. Right next door is Berry Town Center which has lots of restaurants from Applebee's Bar & Grill, Paddy Wagon Irish Pub, IHOP, Adlers Burgers, Mia Pizza, Sundays Fish and Chips as well a number of takeaways.
There is also a Publix supermarket for all your groceries and a couple of banks. On the corner just in front of Berry Town Center is a Circle K gas station.
Across the road are a number of new businesses including a Starbucks, 7 Eleven store / gas station, Twistee Treat ice cream, Jersey Mike's Subs and the recently opened (October 2024) Giovanni's Pizzeria & Kitchen which is great.
If you drive out of the main Highlands Reserve community entrance and then go straight across the lights then turn left they have added a number of other new businesses including a car wash, dental care and a number of fast food restaurants including Wendy's, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Mc Donalds. There is a also a Dollar Tree and Dollar General and a CVS pharmacy so you are pretty much covered for everything you need within 2 minutes from the Highlands Reserve community.
We have put together a list of questions that we are often asked, please see the above page.
Pool Safety Fences
Most of our Florida villas will either have door alarms on any exterior door that leads to the pool area or a pool safety fence surrounding the pool. Some even both, we have put together a blog post and video showing you how to use the fence. If there are no children in your party then you can take it out and rolling it up in the corner if you prefer but please put it back when you leave the villa, ready for the next guests.

Fantastic 3 week holiday in Florida villa
Stunning 4 bedroom villa in a great location which is not far from all the attractions Orlando has to offer. We have just returned from the best 3 week holiday. Villa is extremely spacious and pool area is fantastic and gets the sun for most of the day. Owners of the villa are lovely to deal with from start to finish and I wouldn't hesitate booking this property again next time we visit.

Great villa
Just returned from an amazing stay. Villa is very well equipped maintained and very clean throughout. Pool not overlooked very quiet neighbourhood. Comfy beds and lots of personal touches throughout making it feel like home from home. Very close to Publix supermarket and restaurants as able to cut through community instead of heading back on Highway 27.
Excellent communication with owners throughout the whole booking process.
Thanks again for an amazing stay.

Perfect holiday villa
From the very first contact Jackie couldn't have been more helpful, answered all our questions and gave us great advice on car hire pick-up and travel from the airport etc.
The villa is spotlessly clean, really well equipped with everything you need, lovely comfortable beds, good wi-fi, and a beautiful private pool area, that isn't overlooked by neighbours which is often the case with Orlando villas.
It's in a great location for travelling to the parks and other attractions, plus there's a Publix and some resturaunts nearby too.
This villa has everything to make your holiday perfect and I would highly reccommend it. When visiting Florida again I wouldn't think of booking anywhere else.

Christmas Stay
We had the pleasure of staying at Jackie’s lovely home over Christmas 2022. Jackie was an exceptionally helpful and accommodating host and even left us her Christmas tree and decorations to put up during our stay ! The pool was secluded and private and lovely and warm despite the cooler weather . There was everything you needed at the house and I wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend to anyone else requiring a well equipped and located home in Orlando .

Recent stay at a fantastic villa!
We stayed here for 2 weeks in late November and had a fantastic time. The Villa is very spacious and we made full use of the heated pool and super fast WiFi.
Comfy beds, great shower facilities and arrival day was nice and smooth.
The owner (Jackie) has been very friendly and gave us all the information we needed well in advance of our stay. It was also nice to hear how her recent visits to Orlando have been - particularly post Covid-19.
The location is a nice quiet area, felt very safe. Very handy for Publix down the road and only a short drive to the theme parks at Disney and Universal.

Perfect Vacation Home
I cannot fault this villa rental or the communication with the owners at all. After our initial booking, Jackie keep us informed regularly on their experiences travelling from the UK to USA post Covid which was really helpful and reassuring.
The villa itself was perfectly situated on a corner plot and very private with fencing and shrubbery, we enjoyed many hours by the pool.
The amenities within the villa are excellent and make vacationing there very easy. It was only myself and my husband staying this time but we would happily rent this vacation home with our extended family as it’s very spacious and child friendly. Highland Reserve is a great place to stay with easy, and walkable, access to a Publix, takeouts, restaurants and bars. 20 mins drive and you are in the heart of Disney (around $20 in an Uber) but there are many other entertainment places closer on the 192.

Christmas 2021 Trip
We cannot say enough positive things about the villa and Jackie, the owner. The villa was exactly as described and found everything to be in excellent condition. Really felt like staying in someone’s home rather than a tired and abused rental.
We have stayed in several rental villas in the Orlando area and this one really stands out.
Jackie provided a lot of information ahead of our trip, especially on how things are with travelling in the current Covid world we live in.
We highly recommend this villa and will certainly be booking again when we are next in Orlando.

Home from home , Five stars
This villa is a real gem and certainly home from home .
From the moment you walk in , you can see the high standard of furniture , decor and cleanliness.
Everything you require is there , utensils , pool towels , pool floats , some cleaning materials left by previous guests .
Pool is wonderful and the best heated pool we have had for our Dec stay due to the design of the water inlets heating the pool . Very private and sunny .
Loved my daily swim , even on a drizzly morning .
Jackie is a wonderful host and came back very quickly with any questions I had .
The community and golf course are great . Good amenities with a publix just up the road and Championsgate the other way .
Villa is situated Disney side and about an 1 1/5 HR max commute to Clearwater and Busch Gardens .
I4 is becoming busier and you will have to allow extra time for your commute to and from SeaWorld and Universal .
I get off at junction 67 and go the back way down international drive south for both parks . I also use this route for the premium outlets through little lake Bryan , saves alot if time .
I thoroughly recommend this villa and will be staying here again .

A lovely villa with great amenities
We visited as a family 1st-15th November 2019 and could not have been happier. Jackie was a pleasure to deal with, professional and knowledgeable. The villa was fully equipped and everything perfect for the family holiday.
As a villa owner, albeit with my villa in long term rental and therefore unavailable, we were so pleased to stay in somewhere of this quality. I thoroughly recommend the property to anyone seeking a high quality base for exploring the central Orlando area.

Great Villa
Villa was lovely and had everything we needed for our 3 week stay. It was very clean and comfortable and plenty of room for the 6 of us. The pool was very private and most welcome for cooling off after long days at Disney and beds were very comfortable for a good night's sleep. The owner was her helpful and responded to any queries we had quickly and gave us all the information we needed to find the house on arrival. Late checkout was great. Villa is close to all amenities and a short drive from Disney parks. We were sad to leave.

Thank you so much for your review. We’ve updated many items and furniture in our villa recently to ensure we offer a home from home feel, so pleased you had everything you needed. Highlands Reserve is a great community and of course location is all important for the parks! Hope we can help whenever you plan your next visit.
Nice Villa, Good Location
Spent 10 days in October staying in this lovely villa. On a corner plot with hedges/fences surrounding, this meant it was pleasantly quiet with pool privacy. The villa itself was nice, clean and comfortable with all the facilities we would need. Jackie provided plenty of information ahead of arrival, ensuring we had no trouble finding and entering the villa. There some amenities nearby such as publix, arbees and ihop with walmart/target and others not too far away.
Very happy with our stay. Many Thanks

Thank you for your review. Good to hear you had a comfortable stay in our villa and enjoyed the pool area. It’s handy to have the supermarket and a few restaurants close by. IHOP is our favourite for breakfast on our first morning!
Brilliant villa - just perfect for our family of 6
We have stayed in several villas in the Davenport area, and this one was great from the start. It was a real plus to have all the essential coffee/ washing up liquid etc already there, as some previous villas have been bare.
The villa had everything and was very well maintained and spotless. It was easy to find just off the C27 and not far from shops/ fuel/ food/ bank and the I4, so perfectly located. The pool was just the right size for us 6 and the outside area private.
Great friendly communication with the owner. It was a good price and welcoming and homely and we would definitely stay again. Thanks

Lovely villa
We stayed at this villa for 2 weeks in June/July. The location is very quiet, the villa is spotlessly clean, and was well stocked with all we needed to make a most comfortable stay. It was also secluded at the pool, which was surrounded by hedges. The owner Jackie was extremely helpful filling us in with all the details we needed for the journey and many other helpful details.
There was a Publix nearby , actually within walking distance.
We would definitely recommend this villa.
