Brilliant
Firstly,a big thank you to Bev for our stay at Heron,s nest.
The house was situated in a lovely area with excellent for easy reach to the parks,shops restaurants etc. and was well equipment.
A lovely sized pool to the rear of the property which was well used.
The driving instructions given from the airport to the house were easy to follow which was a god send after along flight.
This was our 6th visit to Florida and shaz and me both agree it was possibly the best we have stayed at..
Once again thank you and hope to stay again.

It is beautifully furnished and has everything you could ever wish for . It has a gorgeous large pool with a view to die for - which attracted us in the first place . The pool furniture is very comfortable and plenty of it . We have stayed in villas a few times and this one is definitely the best ! We absolutely will be coming back !

Excellent villa in beautiful location
We have visited this villa a few times now and this is the first since covid. It has been refurbished and It's made it even better, especially love the master bedroom shower.
The villa is in a beautiful peaceful location but still not too far from all the parks, shops or golf. Its a home away from home with everything you could need for a great holiday. Communication with Bev before, during and after was excellent. The information folder with places to go etc was really useful and handy. Thanks again Bev and can't wait to return next year ??

Herons Rest Villa
Just back from 14 nights holiday in Orlando. Herons Rest Villa was amazing we had everything we needed for 2 weeks, the villa was spotless clean and very spacious. The villa owner Beverley was so helpful from the minute I contacted her for booking. The villa was only about an hours drive from Orlando airport & 20 mins from the Disney parks and very central for shops restaurants etc. Davenport area is a great area to stay I have stayed in a international drive & tampa and would definitely recommend staying in Davenport in Herons Rest villa we cannot wait to book again with Beverly hopefully in a couple of years. Beverly also gave us loads of information where to eat, shop & get park tickets which was really helpful. I will definitely be recommending Herons Rest to my friends & family.
Thank you Beverly x

Fantastic stay!
We absolutely loved our stay at Heron's Rest. We arrived late at night and the guidance given to us prior to leaving made for a very seamless journey. The property was clean, tidy and my children adored all the animal decor! It was perfect to be able to jump into the comfy beds before exploring the area the following day. Being next to the lake is beautiful and we even got to see the herons quite a few times. Disney is only a 20/25 minute drive away, even on a busy morning, and having Champions Gate so close was perfect for Publix and restaurants. Bev was a wonderful host, so easy to get in touch with and helped us amend our stay when we had to change flights. We will definitely be booking again next time we return to Florida.

Herons Rest
Herons Rest is a beautiful villa set in a wonderfully quiet location. We stayed for 2 weeks during February 2024. The villa itself is immaculate throughout with everything you need for the perfect stay. We were very grateful that they had hair straighteners as well as hairdryers as we made the mistake of bringing the wrong travel plugs! There are plenty of USB ports around the villa so that helped us immensely too.
The beds are so comfortable. I wanted to take the one from the main bedroom home with us!
We loved the pool especially after a long day at the parks. The pool deck has plenty of sunloungers and it has a lovely view over the lake.
The owner, Bev, was extremely helpful right from our first enquiry through to the end of our holiday. She was always happy to answer any questions we had. She provided plenty of useful information as our holiday neared and the directions to the villa where clear and concise. There is a Sat Nav in the villa which we found useful during our stay.

We stayed at Herons rest mid November for two weeks 2023 (our 2nd visit). The decor is so stylish and the sofas are amazing, my Husband is over 6 ' and the sofa nearly swallowed him up. Outside by the pool is so tranquil and relaxing, we have never been to Florida in November so the pool heating was much appreciated. Linda and Mike at JC Vacations were so lovely we felt like we had known them for years, and Bev Dore the owner is wonderful. (Oh! and the garage is spotless) lots to do and see and happy memories.

We had the pleasure of staying at Herons Rest on our recent trip to Florida.
The villa was lovely, 3 really good size double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms , good size lounge and kitchen area with a fab private pool and outside space. Herons rest is close to Champions Gate offering a variety of restaurants and large supermarket. The villa is situated in a lovely peaceful area next to a lake.
We had the best time and certainly hope to return one day soon.

Have just come back from 3 week holiday at Heron's Rest. We had the best time. From the first contact Bev was fantastic to deal with, she gave is so much info and tips, it was a pleasure to with such a helpful owner. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she always answered any questions we had.
The villa was superb, with every amenity you could wish for. I loved the fact it had 3 double bedrooms, not many villas have this option.
It was bright, spacious and airy. Felt very homely.
The pool deck was one of the best we've had in 20 years coming to Florida. It was so peaceful. I've never felt as relaxed. Sitting out there reading my books was blissful.
We truly had a wonderful holiday at Heron's Rest.

We have just returned from 3 week holiday staying in this amazing villa with fantastic relaxing views and a constant stream of exotic birds and wildlife passing. Bev is extremely lovely and helpful and always available if you need her support. The villa was clean when we arrived and had everything we needed and some for our holiday. The location is amazing extremely quiet with a fantastic outlook lovely place to relax. It is also close to everything you need during your stay from there parks to supermarkets, places to eat etc. The pool is lovely and my wife swam every single day. We would highly recommend not just for the villa and location but also because of the support you receive from Bev the owner and Linda at the Management Company. Book now you won’t be disappointed we are definitely looking to return when we are able.
In our thirty plus visits to Florida using villas at various locations this is the only one I would happily purchase for our own private use, let’s hope my funds will allow this at a later time.

We stayed here in May and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. This villa is absolutely spotless and like a home from home. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was easy to use. Perfect layout for our family and a lovely location within easy reach of all the parks and all the shops. We found everything was super comfy and the kids loved the games room. The pool area was beautiful and looked out across the lake without being overlooked at all.

Perfect Holiday Villa
WOW! Where to begin! Firstly, Bev the owner was brilliant and was available to answer any questions we had before we arrived and gave recommendations on flights, car hire, restaurants etc.
Now the VILLA! What an immaculately, clean and well presented villa. It had everything you need to add luxury to your holiday. Fully furnished kitchen/ diner with all cooking utensils. Spacious living room with very comfy settees & TV with lots of channels to watch. The bedrooms are spacious with very comfy beds and ensuite facilities & air conditioning throughout was lovely. The outside pool is a god send after a long day around the parks & in the morning with a cuppa, watching the wildlife go about their day was wonderful to watch.
The villa is in the perfect location for all the parks, within about 30 - 40 mins depending on the traffic. Restaurants within 5 mins too.
We had the most amazing time & the villa made it even better for us. It felt like home as soon as we stepped through the door. Would definitely return to Heron's Rest.

We have just returned from our second trip to Herons rest, our first trip was March 2019. Second trip Easter 2023. We don't want to leave a review as we don't want anyone else to know about this amazing villa.
Bev is a great host, always available to answer questions and give advice on all things Florida. She is very friendly and couldnt be more happy to help.
The villa itself is lovely and clean, a home from home (but with an amazing swimming pool and view of a beautiful lake). It has recently been refurbished. It is well equipped and very comfy. We travelled with 2 children age 7 and 3 who absolutely loved it. It is well situated and close to all the Disney parks.

Lovely Villa overlooking picturesque Lake
Having been a regular traveller to Orlando and having stayed at a number of different villas in various locations, we can honestly say this villa comes top of our list.
Clean, immaculately decorated and well fitted out, the 3 large bedrooms and good sized lounge meant we did not lack for anything.
The outside area was all we could wish for with plenty of space, a covered area for when the sun was too strong and a clean pool. View of the lake was restful and meant we spent more time at the villa than anticipated!
The only issue that we found was how busy the roads were getting to and from the Disney area and surrounding restaurants etc. As long as patience is used, then travel was easy. Hopefully the end of the roadworks will improve matters.
Finally no review would be complete without mentioning the brilliant service we had from the Owner (Bev) - we have dealt with her for a few years now and have absolutely no complaints with the speed of response and helpfulness - when we did have a problem she went the extra mile to resolve to our satisfaction.
A highly recommended villa - we return next year !

Great vacation
My husband and I vacationed in this house for 7 weeks and would like to thank you for allowing us to share your home. It is a well maintained property in a quiet neighbourhood where we enjoyed early morning walks. Close to attractions, grocery stores, shopping and restaurants. It is very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well stocked and it was very relaxing sitting in the lanai and pool area overlooking the pond and seeing stunning sunsets. The covered area is wonderful when you need a break from the sun. Bev and the management staff were very easy to deal with. There were a couple of minor issues that were immediately taken care of. We highly recommend this property.

Wonderful experience
We where lucky to be able to book this villa for our christmas vacation and just returned home. We are renting vacation homes in the area for almost 30 years now and this is one of the best homes we ever had. Everything was perfect and in fabulous condition and spotless ! The villa is decorated with taste and be assured you will have a good night sleep as the beds are great. One can tell that the owner is taking very well care of it's property and they love their home and take great pride in going the extra mile. Besides a perfect home, I would love to mention that Bev the owner is simply amazing! She was helpful, very reactive and so kind! It was such a pleisure working with her and we felt welcome from the first moment we talked! And this is so reassuring. And last but not least, location! It's such a lovely piece of land and that little lake behind the home is simply beautiful. You are close to almost everything. We where quiet surprised about the difference in driving distances. So if you look for a lovely, cozy, spotless home close to everything, and still in a quiet location, you have found it! Thank you Bev for making this such a great experience for us!

Absolutely stunning villa in an ideal location.
We have just returned from our 14 night stay at this beautiful and impecably clean villa. There was ample room for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) with a bedroom spare. The villa is surprisingly spacious and the facilities were more than we could have asked for. There is everything you could need and more including beach towels, all kitchen accessories, coffee maker, pool table, ice packs, the list goes on.
The swimming pool was a generous size, we had it heated and it was lovely on an evening to relax in after a busy day in the parks. The outdoor area was immaculate and also great for viewing the local wildlife including the herons! The lake out the back is beautiful and the villa is really quite private from the back.
Bev provided very detailed directions on how to get to the villa from the airport which was a great help. The villa is in a great location, close to shops and restaurants (about 5 mins drive), 20 mins to Disney and about 30 mins to Universal.
Bev has been in close contact with us from when booked the villa to when we arrived back from our holiday. She has been very informative and has provided a quick response to any queries we have had. Excellent service!
Hopefully we will return to Florida in the future, and if we do, we will definitely be booking this villa again.

Amazing Villa and Location
What can I say “ Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ as very keen and regular visitors to Disney we absolutely loved this villa.
Perfect right from the start of booking, speedy response to our initial enquiry, comprehensive information details at booking and for arrival, definitely all the information you need.
On arrival from the clear and exact directions, the villa exceeded our expectations. As soon as we drove onto the lovely long driveway and opened the door, we felt special, relaxed and cared for. It’s a beautiful quiet location, with wonderful views over a wildlife lake that is not overlooked by other villas. The villa was exceptional, immaculate, and spotless with all the amenities that you need, with appliances, utensils, store cupboard essentials, towels, linen, washing facilities, games room, etc, etc, we couldn’t have asked for more. It is a lovely decorated and spacious villa, great for the 3 of us, with high ceilings which we love and super accessories, in particular the furnishings, our favourite being the large giraffe! This hits a note with us as we love Animal Kingdom. More than enough choice for the televisions and great internet too. Attention to detail is brilliant ! You are close to a great set of road links, I-4, 192, and I mean minutes away, so great for all Theme Parks and the Disney area which is less than 20 minutes away. Shopping is fab too, with Publix, Aldi, Walmart all a short distance away and Champions Gate only a few minutes away for restaurants, we love Miller’s Ale House and highly recommend a visit! We also just loved chilling around the pool, we had excellent weather and the sun is on the pool all day which is great, but there is shade if you want it. We so enjoyed this very special holiday for many reasons, but in particular the welcome we felt and received from Bev the home owner. Brilliant Thank You. We would definitely recommend this villa and have done so already and we will definitely stay here again. As Mickey says ‘ See you real soon’

Fantastic September 2019 stay
This spacious three bedroom villa was just perfect for the two of us and everything from the initial contact with Bev to our 15 night stay at Herons Rest was amazing. For us, little things make such a difference...like good quality pots and pans, sharp knives for cooking (weird but true!), starter dishwasher tablets etc. The pool deck is ideal for those who love the Florida sunshine as well as good shade for most of the day for those preferring not to soak up the rays. Very clean villa in excellent order and highly recommended.

Fantastic Villa
We were recomended to go with Bev from a friend of ours and i can not fault her in anyway. Bev was a great help in organising our villa 18 months ago for our big family adventure in August 2019. The villa was so well equipped, very welcoming situated in the perfect place for our trips to Disney.
Bev kept in contact with us and was able to recomend a car hire company, best place to get park tickets, places to eat, shop and visit. The welcome brochure on arrival had everything you needed. Main thing was directions to the park and nearest place to food shop.
We will certaily be back again and will be recommending Bev to all our friends and family.

Great location - Great for a party of 4
Our 3rd visit to Florida another great villa selected. We are a party of 4 and it was great for us although the villa can accommodate 6 for watching TV and sunbathing it may be a squeeze as only 4 sun loungers and 2 sofas. We note the owners have a larger villa too! All facilities provided. Plenty of wildlife to see look for the pair of red/orange birds, the cranes strolling past you will hear them arrive! The eagles up above, the black snakes passing by or found on your doorstep they are non poisonous. Watching the hot air balloons set off if you are up early! It’s very clean of which is most important we would book again. We commuted via champions gate. Driving here you have to have eyes everywhere there is no fast or slow lanes!!

Lovely villa in excellent location
This was our third stay at the villa and we love it. In fact have already booked it again for next year!
The villa is in a lovely location and is in a friendly quiet neighborhood.
The villa itself is lovely, clean and comfortable, with everything you need to have a home from home.
The pool area is excellent with a lovely area to chill in the shade. The pool is perfect and looks onto the lake which is so relaxing. The herons regularly wander past the villa which is lovely.
The games room was a bonus which our boys loved.
Bev is lovely and very friendly and easy to book with. The maintenance team are also excellent.
Bev leaves a booklet with some pointers, even though we have been to Florida numerous times before it was great to have some local information and recommendations. We can confirm that Miller's at champions Gate was excellent, and you need to try the delicious ice cream at Posner park.

Perfect break
We have just come back from a fantastic week staying in this villa. If you're thinking of booking it, do it quick I couldn't recommend it enough. The villa was spotless on arrival, everything was provided it really was like home from home. The kids really enjoyed the pool and the games room. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of extra bedding and towels if needed.
It's close to Disney and only about 25 minutes from Seaworld,aquatica and discovery cove.
Bev was so helpful from making the booking up until we left the villa-even trying to help sort out a hire car while we were out there.nothing was any trouble for her. Thanks again for letting us stay here x

Herons Rest is fabulous
We have been staying at Herons Rest for our holidays for years and can honestly say that it truly is one of the best villas we have stayed in. Herons Rest is luxurious, warm and welcoming and perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly wish for. The pool and decking area is south facing with sunshine all day and overlooks a beautiful lake. If you’re patient enough you can see a Gator or two ??. The wildlife is beautiful, particularly the Cranes who graze near the lake. The villa is perfectly situated near to the I4 and theme parks, as well as a huge choice of fabulous bars and restaurants. If you fancy exploring further afield, there are beautiful State Parks to walk or cycle around or even rent a canoe. We are booked up for the next few years. I would highly recommend. Thanks to Bev for all the fabulous memories and here’s to many more. Georgie and Carl x

Lovely villa in a great location!
We have stayed in a number of villas within the area over the last 18 years and can honestly say this is one of the best we have stayed in. Centrally located within a community close to the theme parks, this villa is clean and tidy with all the home comforts. As well as a well equipped kitchen, there is a pool table, air hockey table, games console, Wifi, books, DVDs and a large TV with Netflix.
Bev, the owner, is very friendly and helpful, doing everything possibly to ensure we had a lovely stay. We arrived late and Bev was able to organise groceries which was very welcome after a long flight!
We had a wonderful holiday at Herons Rest and can't wait to visit again soon!

Beautiful villa can't wait to return
We had a fantastic holiday in Orlando in December 2018. Bev was amazing, she was so helpful and friendly throughout the booking process and when we arrived we fell in love with the villa instantly. The villa was lovely and cozy, very well decorated and the sofas and beds were so comfy, my husband and I had our 4 month old baby with us and we had everything we needed. The pool was also stunning and a great temperature despite being December, the lake view was lovely. The location is great, with shops resturants and bars close by and none of the main Orlando attractions are more than 25 minutes away. We had such a lovely holiday that we have rebooked with Bev for 2019 and can't wait to return.

Wonderful stay at Heron's rest
Heron's rest is a beautiful peaceful villa located at Sunridge Woods which is near Champions gate. It overlooks a lake which features wading birds, the odd alligator and jumping fish and stunning sunsets.
The villa is very well equipped and offers every comfort for anyone wishing to experience the attractions or to just relax and enjoy the lakeside views. The villa has a huge driveway so for a 2 car family this was ideal for us. TVs in every room meant we could all relax at the end of the day watching our favourite programmes.
We have stayed at other villas over the years but have to confess Bev the owner goes out of her way to help you with your every need. Her customer service skills are exceptional and nothing is too much trouble for her she is always there for you.
The information we were given prior to departure was perfect and we had no problems finding the villa at all as the directions were excellent. Having a safe in the villa was a bonus for us this year and the lovely pool was something we enjoyed everyday. There was a rocket launch whilst we were there and this added to our enjoyment. One of the best holidays we have had and we will certainly return to Heron's rest not only for the wonderful location but also for the peace of mind knowing that you have an excellent management company for any issues. Thank you once again Bev we shall return.

Relaxing & Peaceful
My family & I would highly recommend staying at Heron's Rest. Bev was very helpful and there was plenty of information with regards the area when we arrived. A very well equipped villa with the use of a sat nav if required.
The washer and dryer were a godsend and the games room located in the garage was used numerous times. We loved the pool area and it was very private and quiet with just the sounds of the local wildlife to listen to. We often saw the Heron's beside the lake and the odd squirrel too. The surrounding area itself is extremely well kept and peaceful. Championsgate is near too and we often ate there at the various restaurants, especially Millers. Also close to all the Disney Parks and the nearest Supermarket is Publix. We definitely would not hesitate to stay here again on our next visit to Orlando.

Supurb Villa!
Myself and my family have just arrived home after an amazing stay at Heron’s Rest. The villa itself is spacious, comfortable and clean with a beautiful pool which looks out onto a lovely lake. It’s set on a corner plot, so you are not overlooked at all. Every night we enjoyed sitting out by the pool with a glass of wine and watching the gorgeous sunsets. It was so peaceful and the only thing you could hear when sitting out was the delightful sounds of the local wildlife.
We did a lot of self catering so was pleased that the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable as were the sofas. There were plenty of towels and it was very convenient having the washing machine and tumble dryer in the garage. The kids also loved the air hockey and pool table. We were pleased to see that a Sat Nat was provided as we used a few times when heading out a bit further afield.
The villa is situated in a great location, only 25 minutes from all the parks and shopping outlets and just 35 minutes from the airport. Restaurants and supermarkets are only 5 minutes away. We were at Publix a lot!
Time went by so quickly and after a few days it really did feel like a home from home. We definitely hope to visit again in the future.
I would also like to add that Bev is a fantastic host. She is very welcoming, and any queries were responded to immediately.

The villa is ideally placed for visiting all the attractions. It’s also in a fantastic position for lazing by the pool or fishing in the lake. The villa has everything you need well equipped with hairdryers, straighteners and plenty of bathroom & pool towels. There was also enough utensils/kitchenware, not that we did too much cooking. We would not hesitate to recommend Herons Rest to couples or families for an amazing holiday

We have been travelling to Florida for many years and have stayed in numerous Villa's over the period. Without question, this is our favourite. The villa is conveniently located with easy access to the I4, local amenities, Disney and Universal Studios theme parks, not to mention beautiful state parks. The villa is luxurious in every respect, the pool area is South facing with sun all day with a covered area. The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The range of kitchen utensils for example, is excellent. Bev really has thought of everything with things like hairdryers and straighteners. We always make excellent use of the Pool and air hockey table. Its great fun to listen to some music and shoot some pool with a beverage or two. We are booked up to stay for the next few years and will continue to do so indefinitely. Thank you for yet another fabulous stay Bev. It gets harder and harder to leave every time we visit.

We didn't know the area before we went but were the villa is situated is so relaxing, we just sat and watched the wildlife and my husband fished. The villa is beautiful has everything you need and Bev couldn't have been more helpful, so much so that we would return in a heartbeat.

Saw this villa and reviews on VR360 Homes and immediately contacted the owner Bev. Excellent communication between both parties with accurate local information and directions ensuring an easy transition to the Villa. The Villa did not disappoint at all, beautiful and clean with all the amenities you could wish for (had a welcome pack on arrival). Of course the pool area and games room was the kids favourite and used quite often. The villa was set in a stunning and quiet location. We took time out to walk around the estate and see the other villas decorated for Halloween. Excellently located with short drives to all the Disney Parks. Can't thank Bev enough for allowing us to stay at this beautiful Villa and would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Home from Home
This is our 3rd time staying at Heron’s Rest, and again we weren’t disappointed. It was everything as we had remembered, the house is well looked after throughout. The pool is an added bonus, with an excellent seating area which has the added bonus of being undercover, which came in handy when a big storm set in and we could still sit outside. The house isn’t too far from Disney World so came in handy after a long day at the parks, water parks and shopping centres.
We absolutely love this property, and everything it has to offer, we cannot wait to return again.

Quality Villa in great location
Herons Rest is a perfect Villa in a great location, it was a great base for us for our 3 week stay. It's located 5 minutes from the main i 4 motorway & close to all major attractions. We are a family of four and had ample room, the kids loved the pool and spent hours playing in it, the games room also comes in handy. Kitchen facilities are excellent and has everything you need. If you do get time to watch TV there are plenty of channels to watch and picture quality is very good. Air con is brilliant and works perfectly. The owner Bev was fantastic to deal with and nothing was too much trouble, even the daft questions I asked her from time to time! Bev would always reply to my email questions very quickly. I can highly recommend staying at the Villa as it has everything needed and was spotlessly clean, tidy and extremely comfortable.

Picture perfect setting
This is the second time we have rented from Bev and we were not disappointed. Information prior to arrival was excellent, very clear instructions even if you haven't been to Orlando before. Champions gate is one of the best areas we have stayed in and we have been coming to Orlando and Florida for 17 years. The villa itself made you feel comfortable from the first time you walked through the door with everything there that you could wish for. The highlight has to be the pool area, spotlessly clean, very private and a lovely view over a small lake. If you have children they will be thrilled with the games room, even us oldies played pool and air hockey. A wonderful relaxing stay even though the weather wasn't kind to us we took the opportunity to chill out with a glass of wine and a cooked meal. Would certainly recommend and hope to come back.

Amazing
We booked this Villa because it was by far the nicest one we could find online, when we arrived it looked even better than the pictures! It was extremely clean and comfortable, we felt right at home as it was equipped with everything we could possible need.
The villa was very spacious and the area we were staying in was lovely, quiet and relaxing.. just what you want after a long, busy day at the parks! Every room was immaculate and we LOVED the theming in the living room (we're animal obsessed) ha
We enjoyed sitting out by the pool on a night and watching all of the wildlife go by, we saw an alligator, tortoises and turtles, an otter, an armadillo and huge birds!
Everything about our stay here was perfect, we were a 20-30 minute drive away from all the parks, and had lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Our contact with Bev was Excellent, she always replied straight away answering any questions we had and was very helpful.
This was our 5th time to Florida and by the the best, we didn't want to leave one bit and will 100% be booking again in the future. Thanks again Bev!

We have just returned from staying two weeks at this perfect home from home. The villa is spotlessly clean and well presented, and exceptionally well equipped. It looks exactly like in the pictures... amazing!!! The location is ideal - quiet yet within a few minutes drive of shops, supermarkets and restaurants, and with quick access to Hwy 27 and the I-4 for venturing further afield.
The large (and very private) pool deck is fantastic, and the covered area provides a respite from the sun when needed. The view of the lake is stunning, and we never tired of watching the array of wildlife (which even prompted a binoculars purchase lol).
We can highly recommend this villa, and will stay here again on our next visit if available. Nothing was too much trouble for Bev.

Super holiday
My sons and I travelled around a part of Florida for 3 weeks in July/August of 2015 and stayed at Heron’s Rest for a week.
After the hotels, the villa was a true home away from home. Very clean, private and welcoming.
We arrived on a Sunday and although I knew about the Florida pool alarm, I had no idea how to turn it off.
Didn’t really want to have to call the management on a Sunday but I had 2 kids that couldn’t wait to get into the pool!
A quick call and we were sorted.
Even though it was Sunday I didn’t feel I was intruding which was a relief.
Many thanks to Bev for the kind communication and the swift and correct handling when making the reservation as well as the return of the deposit afterwards.

Herons rest
We are all now safely home. I wanted to thank you for letting us have the use of your lovely vacation home. We have stayed in Florida on a number of occasions and have stayed in villas for all but one when we stayed in a condo. The villas we have stayed in have all been comparable in price to yours however that's where the comparisons end. We have just enjoyed our BEST trip to Florida and that was down to the fact that your villa was so nice and comfortable and the communication and ease of dealing with yourself. Also helped having such a picturesque location next to the lake(nothing to do with the fact both my son and myself enjoy fishing!). We were at the lake daily fishing and caught some strange looking fish and some very snappy turtles. No animals were hurt in the making of this email they all went back safely. Once again a HUGE THANK YOU from Susan,Nadine,Dylan,Stuart and myself for helping us to have such a great vacation,oops I mean holiday!

We had a perfect vacation at Herons Rest. The home is beautiful, very clean, very quiet and safe neighborhood. Wonderful pool with screened lanai and a great view of the pond in the back yard. The pool area is very secluded with no neighbors to hear or see. The pond is alive with fish and birds, not a stagnant wetland. We had daily visits by a pair of Sandhills Cranes. Close to Disney, 20 minutes. Close to shopping, 5 minutes. Very comfortable beds, and more beach towels than the Marriott! Wifi, Wii, pool table, air hockey, fishing poles, laundry center.

The owners have recently purchased and upgraded the villa and it shows. Everything looks and feels new, from the carpets, flat screen TVs, and bedding right down to simple things like quality crockery and utensils. It certainly feels like no expense has been spared.
Outside the pool is immaculate and the deck is oversized, but our favourite addition is a private lanai area which is perfect for shade from the sun.
The villa is very private and the pool area offers a lovely view over the private lake.

We loved staying at this very tastefully furnished home in a quiet residential area.
The house is on a large corner plot and the large south facing deck and pool are not overlooked by any other property. The deck gets sun from early morning until late with beautiful sunsets over the small lake which is home to pairs of Grey Herons. It is easily accessible from Interstate 4 with local shops only a few minutes away and all of the Disney attractions can be reached within 15 - 20 minutes. We would have no hesitation in recommending this house to other families and hope to return soon.

Highly recommended
We really enjoyed our stay in Herons Rest, a spacious villa and pool in quiet location overlooking a lake, fully equipped to a high standard and beautifully decorated. Good info, easy to find, spotlessly clean and the 3bed layout with 1 bedroom on one side and 2 on the other side is ideal for either 2 couples sharing or a family with children. Easy access to Orlando and Kissimmee and good restaurants - Applebees, Chilis, Bahama Breeze. Excellent value for money. We would highly recommend this villa.
