Beautiful Villa
Stayed here for 2 weeks starting the end of July. As soon as you walk through the door you know you are in a high class Villa. 2 master ensuite bedrooms were an added bonus. Lovely soft bedding on all the beds. Loads of soft towels and a big bag of pool towels too.
Nice large tv in the lounge and loved that we could connect to our Netflix and Prime when relaxing for the evening.
Debbie was always on hand to answer any questions. We got to meet her while we were there and she's just as lovely in person.
Kitchen is stocked with lots of dinnerware and also melamine dinnerware to use when eating at the outside table and then when your finished it all goes in the dishwasher. Huge washer and dryer, I've never actually seen any that big before and wish I could take them home.
Margie was great from the moment we booked. I kept changing the dates and length of stay and lots of questions but she answered promptly and was always really nice.
Villa is in a lovely quiet area but also not far from the theme parks and also only a few minutes from Champions Gare with shops and restuarants a plenty.
I can't recommend this Villa enough and I'm happy to say I'm back for another stay in September.

Our home away from home!
What a beautiful place to spend the winter months. Bright, clean and spacious, with lots of storage makes the villa very comfortable. Being a avid golfer, there is no shortage of places for me to play nearby. We have a number of friends in the area too so it is an easy drive to visit them or dine in the area at the numerous restaurants. The managers and long term friends Dee and Steve are always available to call for any minor issues. We found walks throughout the area to be very pleasant and we made it somewhat of a regular routine. We very much look forward to returning.
Thank you Margie and Derek!

Great location and place
We spent this summer at this lovely villa. A family of 5. Our original plan being that it was a last minute 3 week break was to stay in a hotel as we thought all villas would be booked. But due to changes with their guest we were amazed that our dates was available.
This waa a great base for us, the owners being last minute help did all they could do for us. The villa has all that one needs for a great stay.
Any little issues was rectified immediately.

Perfection!
We stayed at this wonderfully beautiful villa for our first vacation in four years, and we were completely thrilled! Everything was so clean and ready for our arrival, and it truly felt like home. The pool and hot tub were also clean, and it was so nice to have it to ourselves to relax, enjoy the sunshine and cool down with a swim. The fact that they are salt water was the cherry on top of the sundae! The living space is bright and welcoming, and it was nice to be able to come back after a long day at the parks to a comfortable place to relax. We couldn't have asked for anything more and will absolutely be back! Thank you Margie and Derek for allowing us to spent time in your beautiful villa!

Thank you Margie for letting us stay in your beautiful villa. We had a great time. When we arrived at the villa we had a call off Margie to ensure we got there ok, which was lovely. The villa was beautiful, clean, spacious and had everything we needed and more. There was also a christmas tree and decorations for us which made the villa feel more like christmas. The rooms were tastefully decorated, clean and modern. The games room had more than enough games for you to play, pool, table football, table tennis etc.. The pool area was clean and had adequate sunloungers and a table and chairs for dining. We spent a lot of time outside as we had the sun all day. The bonus was the outside toilet as it saves getting the inside floors wet. It is situated in a nice quiet cud de sac. Would definatley stay here again. Thank you for everything.

Wonderful Holiday
Hi Margie & Derek
Thank you for allowing us to use your wonderful villa for our holiday.
You provided all the information we needed in advance of travel and when we arrived we found the Villa was even better than the photos and description on the website and it was spotlessly clean.
The kitchen was so well equipped with everything we needed
The beds were super comfortable and the pool area was so private that we could really relax and enjoy the lovely heated pool and spa.
The equipment provided for our granddaughter I.e high chair etc was great and although we didn't make much use of the games room that was only because our weather was so good.
We loved the night lights around the Villa which made it easy to move around the Villa without disturbing others by putting on the lights.
We have rented many Villas over the years but agree none as fabulous as yours.
We hope to return next year if dates are available when we get flights sorted in the New Year.
Thank you again and also special mention to Dee who called to help us get the TV sorted and check for my "missing" wallet and then meet our friend to pass it on for transport home.
We had a really wonderful holiday in a really wonderful Villa.!!

Thank you for allowing us to rent your lovely villa. We had a really great holiday, and your villa lived up to our expectations. We found the villa to be clean and very well equipped. There was a vast range of items available and we loved the pool and jacuzzi. We were very happy being so close to Champions Gate. It is very handy for family friendly restaurants and an easy drive to back to the villa.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your villa it was everything we hoped it would be and we were so happy with the spacious accommodation, lovely pool area, all the amenities and cleanliness of the property. It felt very home like. We all had a fantastic time and thank you also for the extra bits you provided for our baby. We were particularly impressed with the speed of response and efficiency of the Management Company when there was an issue with the air conditioning. They were so helpful and came round straight away and kept in touch late into the evening and also came over again the next day to check everything was ok; great service!

Wonderful stay
We had a fantastic fortnight stay at this beautiful villa. Derek and Margie have provided everything their guests require to have a fantastic holiday. Tastefully furnished, well-equipped kitchen and laundry, towels, pool towels, comfortable beds and very clean.
We had a minor problem which was sorted promptly - even on 4th July!
West Haven is ideally located for access to the I4 and all the major parks. It’s especially close to Disney World which suited us with our Princess-obsessed 4 year old daughter. We flew to Sanford and it was approximately an hour’s drive from the airport to the villa.
We also liked dining at Championsgate and at Manny’s chophouse in Haines City. There were plenty of shopping options too with Target, Publix, Walmart all a short drive away.
After lots of walking at the parks, it was lovely to unwind at the pool and spa. The sun was there from morning until early evening and was a lovely and peaceful place to relax.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Hope we can return again soon.

A GREAT TIME!
Thank you for allowing us to use your villa. We had a great time staying in your villa, and it had everything we needed. The pool got the sun all day. It was great.

A GREAT PLACE TO STAY!
We thoroughly enjoyed your villa. It is the best one we have stayed in since our first visit in 2004. The boys had a great time and enjoyed watching films on the big screen in the living room. Thanks again Paul, Pam and the boys.

A FABULOUS HOLIDAY
We have had a fabulous holiday and the villa is just perfect. The children have thoroughly enjoyed the pool and especially later in the evening after a long day at the parks. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing us to use your villa during our stay and would definitely like to return in the future.

AN AMAZING HOLIDAY IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL VILLA
We had an amazing holiday in your beautiful villa. The villa is truly wonderful, a real home from home in an idylic setting. We invited a couple for a cup of tea who we met on our last visit. They were staying in another villa and said it looked and felt like a rental home, but when they saw yours they said they felt at home. We passed your details on to them as they were very interested in booking your villa. Once agian thank you for letting us stay in your home from home and we will certainly be looking to visit again as soon as we can. Bev, Chirs & Harry.

OUR SECOND STAY IN A GREAT VILLA!
Sadly we are home after a fabulous holiday that has been amazing as always. The villa was as gorgeous as last year, we loved the little changes in the bedrooms, it is so spacious, clean and has amazing facilities. We made full use of the games room as always. We had an amazing time and loved every minute and would not hesitate recommending your villa to any of our friends and look forward to coming out and staying in it again. Kind regards, Tracy

OUR STAY IN YOUR VILLA
We have enjoyed our holiday very much here in Florida and your Villa has been a great base. All the appliances have been good and worked well, the furnishings were good and the beds very comfortable. The amount of towels has been great so that I only had to bring our beach towels for the water parks. The villa was beautifully clean when we arrived, as was the pool which has been a great hit with our children. Thanks for the advice not to heat the pool as the weather has been very hot over the two weeks and the pool has been great for cooling off. The location is great for Disney and we really like the Chilli's Diner close by.
All in all a great time.
Thanks
Jackie

YOUR VILLA IS EVERYTHING WE COULD HAVE WISHED FOR!
Hi Margie & Derek,
We are having a lovely holiday, just disappointed that it's coming to an end so soon.
Your villa is everything we could have wished for. This is our 6th time at West Have and the 3rd at The Abbey and I can honestly say that your villa is the nicest. It has lovely decor and a lot of additional touches and by far it has also been the most secure villa we have stayed in. We appreciated the safe which we have only ever had in one previous villa.
Having been to Orlando many times before we don't go to the them parks as we used to and we have been more than happy to spend long spells in your villa and the lovely pool area every day as well as making use of he excellent facilities a the Clubhouse.
The free international calls were much appreciated as we have been regularly checking in on an ill relative back home.
The air conditioning stopped working on July 4th, but we were delighted that it was able to be fixed quickly that day even though it was a holiday.
Two very small points that I would make is that the games room could do with an additional fan or a more powerful fan as the heat is quite unbearable (but then again we are Scottish!) Also, I personally would prefer the twin rooms to be more neutral in decor to appeal to a wider age group of people as neither of them were ideal for my 16 year old son. However, I knew this before we arrived and it certainly wouldn't prevent us returning. There are just very small points, overall we have had a wonderful time and would definitely return to your villa and recommend it to others.
Thank you again and kind regards,
Lynn and family.

Derek and I are very happy that you are having a wonderful holiday and that we were able to add to it by having you stay with us. You made very good points about the games room and also the twin bedrooms. We will definitely change out the fan in the games room for a more powerful one and add at least one additional fan to help alleviate the heat. We have also been talking about changing up the twin bedrooms to make them more age friendly to a larger group of people. We will get that process started when we visit the villa next time. Again thank you for choosing our villa for your family holiday and we would love to have you stay with us again if you plan another holiday in Florida.
Kind regards,
Margie & Derek
A FABULOUS TIME AT YOUR VILLA
We are having a fabulous time here in Florida. The villa is outstanding and better than we expected. You have a lovely holiday home and it is well situated for the attractions. The villa is very well equipped and we want for nothing, and we love the decor also. The kids enjoy the pool every night coming back from long hot days at the parks, and the kids have also ear marked our garage at home as their games room after spending time at your villa.
We will definitely book again next time we come to Florida.
Kind regards,
Mandy and Lewis

Our stay in in your villa
Hi Margie & Derek,
Our entire party were very impressed with the quality of the accommodation. It was an excellent base for our holiday. The villa was well equipped - the children were very pleased with both the games room and the pool toys!! The villa is situated in an area we love to stay and is so convenient for the main attractions. It is certainly a place we would consider staying again in the future.
Thanks

The best villa I have stayed in with my family!!
We had an absolutely fabulous time at this villa and will definitely be back again! We could not have wanted for more - from the swimming pool and washing machine through to the games room and Big Momma's House DVD which occupied us during one of only a few thunder storms.
The only disadvantage is that by leaving this review and recommending this others, I may not be able to book the weeks I need in future :-)
If you have a family with children or just want a luxury apartment close to the theme parks (15 minutes drive max) this is a great find.

Fabulous!
We've just returned from this lovely villa at the abbey, and have had the most relaxing time. From the moment I enquired, the lovely owners Margie and Derek were very prompt and courteous with queries, and the whole booking process.
The villa was spotlessly clean throughout, and was very welcoming upon our arrival.
The kitchen was comprehensively stocked with every conceivable item of crockery, cookware, and glassware.
The pool area was very peaceful, and although there are homes either side, the screened in pool area is staggered, so as to offer maximum privacy. The outside half bathroom was also very convenient.
The entire Villa was very tastefully decorated throughout, and the bed was super comfy, with plenty of pillows.
We really enjoyed the villas location, which was very close to Championsgate. There are diners, restaurants, and supermarkets within easy reach of the Villa, and I4 is literally 2miles down the road, making access to Disney, the space coast, and the gulf coast, very straightforward.
We very much enjoyed our stay here, and wouldn't hesitate to either rebook, or wholeheartedly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in a lovely 4-bedroomed villa, that's close enough to all the area attractions, but far enough for that air of seclusion.
I would recommend this lovely villa, and its lovely owners to anyone.
