Highlands Reserve Villa - Former showhome with huge Master Suite

Dear Ian + Claire, Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We had an amazing time exploring everywhere from such a central location. Everything in the home was wonderful – so nice each day to come back exhausted (and very hot!) to a welcoming home environment. Jo, Mark, Bella, and Libby.

Ian + Family, We made a late decision to enquire about and then rent your villa, but as far as late decisions go, we definitely made a fantastic choice. Even though very last minute, your telephone call, and detailed e-mails meant all ran very smoothly. We have stayed in a number of villas over the years, but never before have we said that we would like to return again. That is not now the case, having stayed in your wonderful home. Highlands Reserve is a hidden gem we had not previously known about, and your villa left us wanting for nothing. Would certainly recommend to others and will be feeling very envious now here back in our ‘normal’ size home in Doncaster (UK) All the very best, Christine, Steve, Melissa, Conner, and Tristan (3) Leila (10 months)

Once again, many thanks. Andrew, Fiona, Rebecca and the twins Tomos and Mali.

Ian + Claire, Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful Villa. The first part of our holiday was spent at Disney, so the Villa was a perfect way for us to relax with all the comforts that such a home provides. We have been fortunate to holiday in Florida on a number of previous occasions. We have to say that the entire booking process and information pre departure was brilliant! After a gap of two and a half years due to Covid, we had an amazing holiday, and left with a heart full of happy memories, and hope to be back very soon. Thank you again, Mark, Kirstine and Thomas.

Ian + Claire, Fabulous, spacious and airy villa, wonderfully fitted out, and wanting for nothing. We loved staying, and especially enjoyed the private “wing” (larger master suite). Really appreciated the extra help from Ian, as I needed endless info, considering that I was responsible for three adults with special needs. A wonderful stay, at a relaxed house and pool. Truly a holiday home! Diana + the Triplets, Mark, Ben and Brian.

Hi Ian + Claire, Once again, a big thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We surprised the kids with this trip at Christmas, and they were thrilled that we were returning to your house. It is like a home away from home. We had a wonderful two weeks in the parks, in the pool, and the boys spent most of the time playing pool, which got competitive by the end of the holiday. All in all it’s been a great start to the New Year. Thanks again and best wishes.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to stay in your lovely villa. We had a wonderful holiday, beautiful weather ( most of the time ) and somewhere perfect to escape to at the end of a long day at the parks. The pool and hot tub were particularly welcome in the evening. Jet lag now sorted, back to work, save for the next time. We have some lovely memories to look back on during the cold winter months. I would like to think we would be welcome to stay at your Florida home again if the opportunity arose in the future. Once again, thank you.

This villa is both charming from the outside and within. As you enter the door you walk into a beautiful, spacious quiet room with extremely comfortable furniture. To the right of this is a perfect dinning area ready for six should you wish to eat in. Throughout the whole of the villa, you are surrounded by lovely décor and special personal touches which make the villa all more the welcoming. One of the highlight areas in this villa is the fantastic pool/Jacuzzi. The master bedroom quarters are fit for a king! I would recommend this villa to any family or party of couples looking for a delightful but luxurious place to stay when visiting Orlando, Florida.

We had an amazing time in Orlando and your villa was the perfect home for us. We were able to have relaxing pool days in amongst our busy park days.

Second stay at the house and was a great base for three weeks in Orlando. Love everything about the house, nice layout, everything you could possibly need in a villa and an amazing pool and hot tub. Not to mention the great location, close enough to the attractions but far enough away to feel you're not in the centre of the hustle and bustle. Highlands Reserve is a great location and has all the amenities you could possibly need close by. It's a high quality villa in an exclusive area and would suit those who value quality surroundings and environment.

Ian and Claire, Thank you for all your help and advice and especially the use of your fantastic Villa. We all had a brilliant time on holidays and this was largely due to us taking our time and searching through countless villas until we found the right one. When we found your villa we thought it was too good to be true, as it had everything that we were looking for. It turned out that it was even better than we expected and the holiday wouldn't have been the same without it. We will be back, We just have to wait until James grows another 5 inches so that he can get on all the coasters (it turns out that standing on his tippy toes doesn't count).

Charly was like a fish this time and said that she would love to live in the house! Unfortunately, we had to head back home to the cold, but we will be back in 2017. Pass on our sincere thanks to your management company, we noticed a small problem with the pool, but they were out in the hour to sort it and were very courteous.

An amazing time was had by all. The house was very well equipped and catered to kids and adults alike. Although we burned the toast, tumble-dried tissues where we all walked around white and fluffy, fought the three year old for the polka-dot towels - once we hosed ourselves down, we did not care as the sun was beating down and we had a fridge full of beer, Smirnoff and Cherry Coke!

Ian + Claire, Well, what can I say about the last couple of weeks? It has been “awesome”. I knew from the moment I spoke to you on the phone about staying in your beautiful home we would not be disappointed. It actually surpassed all our expectations – homely, immaculately clean and perfect for all our needs. The boys when they first arrived were “wow, is this where we are staying?” and headed straight to the games room to play pool! The attention to detail and decor is fab. It was great to come back after a long day at the parks to relax in your home-from-home! The management company have been great too – very quick to respond and only round the corner. Sadly, our time has nearly come to an end and we have loved every minute of Highlands Reserve! Enjoy your stay here soon – sadly, we will not get to meet, but hope that you have a “happy holidays”.

Thanks Ian + Claire, We’ve had a wonderful stay in your Florida house. Having spent a lot of time in Florida over the years, we’ve stayed in a few places, but none so lovely as this one. We immediately felt at home and fell in love with the Highlands Reserve Community. I’m quite certain we will visit again. Love the decor of your home! It is the cleanest house we have stayed in, your management Company does you proud! The pool area was a favourite place to unwind and soak up the sun. Yes Claire, we put on our big sunglasses, sun hats, swim costumes and had margaritas on the pool deck! Thanks for a great Florida getaway. Deb and Richard.

Hi Ian, We had the most amazing time and your home was so comfortable. Kids had a ball, loved the pool and found it easy to relax while away from Ireland. We hope to return in a few years (maybe even next year if possible) and would not hesitate to stay here again. Once again many thanks. Peter & Sinead

Hi Ian + Claire We arrived home safe and sound on Sunday afternoon, very sad to have left your wonderful home In the sun. We cannot believe that the two weeks went so quickly and now I am back at work it feels like a dream. We have left you a nice message in your book and I still maintain that I am the champion of the games room! We hope if we go again that we will be able to stay at your home.Warmest regards.

Ian + Claire, Thank you both so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. In the six years we have been coming to Florida, this is the cleanest and most comfortable home we have had the pleasure of staying in. The neighbourhood is beautiful and the pool area is fantastic. The kids have loved every spare minute in the pool. Our wedding Guests complimented how many personal touches your home has. We will most definitely look to rent this home again. We had an amazing time here. Thank you, Karen + Thomas Watson,

Ian + Claire, The past three weeks spent in your gorgeous home have been fantastic and the kids have spent every (I mean every!) spare minute in the pool from early morning until late evenings. It has been a joy to come back each day and relax in total comfort. We have been to Florida many times before, but this is the most comfortable and relaxed we have been. Our Parents, Jan and Derek’s first visit to Florida has been a fantastic first time and the pool and home have eased all the aches and pains that they have come back from the parks with!! Our other friends Maureen and Brenda stayed for 4 nights en route to the Keys and loved every second here. We will certainly be back to your fab home for another three weeks soon. Angie, Ian, Samuel +Megan

Thank you so much for an amazing holiday! We can honestly say, this is the most time we’ve ever spent just relaxing at home rather than running off to the parks. You have made our stay so welcoming with your beautiful house. We always have fun when in Florida, but everything about this villa made it that little more special. We will be back!! Stuart, Juliana, Sophie, Lily and Joe

Ian + Claire, We just wanted to write this note by way of thanking you for the use of your house. We have had a fabulous holiday (we always do in Florida) but the facilities were great and added to it. The location is ideal and the pool was a welcome break after the 100 mph theme parks! Thanks again, Barry, Elaine, Amy Craig and Eddy

Hi Ian + Claire, Sadly, it’s time for us to leave, but we couldn’t do so without thanking you for putting the icing on the cake of our holiday with your lovely house and generous hospitality. This has been our seventh time here in Orlando, and certainly one we’ve enjoyed the most. If we’d had our dog ‘Jazz’ here, we would have thought we were at home (except for the weather!) Kindest regards, Steve, Mel, Steve (Jnr) + Jack.

Ian + Claire, Just a little note to thank you for the use of your fabulous home whilst we were in Florida. The house gave my niece Abigail freedom to move around – something that she normally is only able to manage at home. The pool and hot tub were exceptionally popular with us all and we can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you for contributing to what was an awesome holiday for us all.

Hi Ian and Claire, Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful holiday and that your place was ideal for us. It is a very spacious and well maintained home. So glad to get there and realize that we made a good decision. We were lucky to get out golfing a few times and believe it or not I shot my best game ever. We were able to get around the course without any delays. It was nice to get back to your place after the game and sit and relax around the pool. We hope that we will be able to get the chance to rent your place again! Many Thanks Pat and Tom

We had a great time in Florida. The house was excellent and the pool + Jacuzzi very welcoming when coming in after a day out around the parks. The weather was lovely and hot through the day, then spectacular thunder + lightning in the evening. Some amazing places to eat also – “Cracker Barrel” for breakfasts. “Olive Garden” Italian for evening definitely set us up for our cold Winter back in Scotland.

Thank you, for making our holiday very memorable. The villa was fantastic with more than enough space for seven of us. The pool was the icing on the cake. We will spread the word of your fantastic villa to all our friends.

Date of stay: July 2012    Reviewer name: Shinn Family, Lincolnshire UK

We had a fantastic time in Florida, and a large part of it was down to the villa - enjoyed the space, the beds, the pool, the games room, everything really! Usually did a park one day and recovered the next around the pool managing to do just about everything that we wanted. In the last few days we discovered the area called Celebration - we had a couple of good meals in the Italian there, and returned on our last morning on the way back to the airport, getting breakfast in the dinner cafe and walking round the lake - much more relaxed than the parks! All in all it was a great success. Thanks for the loan of your lovely home.

What a wonderful villa for our holiday with everything we could think of to make our stay enjoyable. This was our 6th visit to Florida and Ian and Claire's home was by far the best ever, very luxurious, very spacious, we couldn't find fault with anything. The whole experience from booking to arriving was seamless and very easy. As for the holiday and villa we had a great time with the kids still talking about the pool even now. All in all a fantastic villa, very friendly owners. We would not hesitate in booking again.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We have had a great holiday. Unfortunately for us, the two weeks went by too fast. Charly loved the pool – spent all her time in it when we were not at the theme parks. This is our third time staying at homes in this area, but this home is by far the most comfortable and home away from home. Thankyou again. Nick, Mark, Mary and Charly. P.S. we have taken some of your business cards and will highly recommend your home to friends back in Ireland and England.

Hi Mary, so glad that you had a great time. We will forgive you for getting the date of your stay wrong! Ian + Claire.

Dear Ian + Claire We had the most amazing time in Florida again, but it was all the more special for staying in your beautiful home. We could not believe our eyes when we walked through the front door for the first time. Your villa is absolutely gorgeous, from the lovely décor to the spacious bedrooms and closets and of course the pool and Jacuzzi. We had a magnificent time and thank you again for letting us use your lovely home.

We have stayed many times on Highlands Reserve – Our favourite February retreat – We have to say that this house is by far the best yet. Our Grandchildren (aged 6, 8 and 10) absolutely loved their weekends here particularly the swimming pool and games room. The location of the house is perfect. It has been so peaceful to sit outside and watch the sunsets. The décor inside the house is beautiful. Someone has great taste! We love the Grand Master Suite Sitting Room - a haven away from the energy of the kids! Thanks Ian + Claire for allowing us to stay. Our month here has flown by too quickly. Health permitting, we really hope to come back next year.

Thanks so much for a beautiful place to stay for the week! This was our first Family vacation with our two boys – aged 6 and 4. We came with another couple and their boys aged 5 and 4 months. The pool was warm and we especially enjoyed the hot-tub after a day at one of your local parks. Hope to see you again next year! Don, Katrena, Jackson, Brock, Darrin, Leigh Ann, Mason and Chase.

Dear Ian + Claire, When we entered your home three weeks ago, I knew that we were in for a perfect holiday. Your villa is simply stunning! Myself, David, Hannah, Joshua and Mathew have had the most fabulous time and have felt so at home here. I am sitting beside your delightful pool taking in the last bit of Florida sun and planning our next holiday! I hope that all who use your beautiful home will have as wonderful a time as we have had.

We really enjoyed our stay here and your house. The pool is always the best part for the kids, although we were looking for larger size TVs. Overall, we wouldn’t complain. The house was definitely a home away from home. I will tell everyone back in Georgia about how nice the house is and our trip was. Again we say “thanks”. Dominique was a great host as well.

Hi David. Brand new flat screen plasma tvs were installed throughout, together with 150 channel High definition cable television service and fibre-optic wi-fi broadband May 2011.

April 8th – 22nd 2011 After an arduous trip from the UK to get here, on opening the front door, we were all stunned at the “wow” factor. We had been recommended to Highlands Reserve – especially having a golf course as well, but never thought on arriving that we would find such a brilliant home. This was a special holiday for us as it is my 70th birthday, my son’s 40th and my Grandaughter’s 10th. We have all had such a great time. The pool was the icing on the cake. After long days spent at the parks, it was great to come back and relax by the pool and to be able to dine outside. We will be highly recommending your home and hope to come back again. Many thanks.

Ian + Claire Another Year has passed and we have enjoyed your home once again. We loved the curtains that you installed especially for us – I liked sitting in the living room to read. Your previous guests wanted to take the super bed home. We tried to take the pool, but it would not fit in our car! Our grandchildren loved the pool and our weekends were busy. Thanks for the use of your home. We enjoyed talking on the telephone to Ian.

Thank you for the use of your beautiful home. This is our second stay and vacation and we love it. It is a perfect way to spend a vacation with our three kids. 15,10 and 4 years of age. They really loved the pool and had a hard time deciding whether to go to a park or stay and swim all day. We would recommend this kind of vacation to anyone. Thanks again for providing your home as our home away from home.
