Fantastic luxury villa
Stayed 14 Days in Oct 2024. The house is the best we have stayed in over the last 20 years around Orlando/Disney. Beautifully decorated, spacious and open plan, so is great for a family holiday. Lovely outlook from the balcony. Kitchen very well equipped and great decking/pool and spa. Quiet neighbourhood, and house not overlooked. Thoroughly recommend staying here. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you to Richard for all his help during our stay, he could not have been more helpful and it was a pleasure to rent his lovely house.

Chris, Thank you, glad to help when you were let down by the villa owner you had originally booked with. Hope you got over the stress of the hurricane/tornado warnings during your stay
Wonderful Florida Stay
We’ve been back a few days after staying in this great villa. Seventh time to Florida and one of the best villas we’ve stayed in. Extremely well equipped but also great quality towels and bedding. Very comfortable beds and the ground floor bedroom was great for my elderly mother in law. Great sunny pool that’s not overlooked. The area has great links to the I4 and the restaurants in Championsgate are alway quieter than the ones on the 192. When I return I’ll definitely be looking to book again. Richard was a pleasure to deal with so thanks again.

Excellent Villa
We stayed here in July 2024 as a family of four adults, and we couldn't have been more impressed. The villa is located in a peaceful cul-de-sac within a gated community, offering both security and tranquility. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The villa was fully equipped with all the essentials, and we were delighted by the thoughtful touches throughout, such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, washing-up liquid, tissues, and more—too many to list.
The villa was spotlessly clean and felt fresh upon our arrival. The pool area was a highlight, meticulously maintained with ample sun loungers and seating. The lighting around the pool at night added to the ambiance, making it a joy to enjoy a swim under the stars.
The interior of the villa is furnished to an excellent standard. There are two master bedrooms upstairs, as well as a twin room. On the ground floor, there is a double bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, which was perfect for me due to my mobility issues. The lounges offer plenty of seating, with the main lounge featuring all recliner sofas—perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun.
Overall, our stay was exceptional, and we highly recommend this villa for anyone seeking comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury.

Amazing villa with a fantastic owner
500 characters doesn’t feel adequate to describe how good this villa experience was for my family! From initial contact with the owner, who is beyond helpful and extremely clear right through to our stay and check-out was just phenomenal. This made our holiday experience so fantastic.
The villa is well situated in Champions gate which has lots of eateries (independent and chain) as well as local amenities such as publix and a pharmacy. We’ve been to the area 5 times and simply love it. The villa is close to network links for the main parks and also roads to nasa and beyond. The villa itself was very clean and comfortable. It was a home from home. It had everything that we needed for a two week stay and we ended up cooking the majority of our meals there as it was so well equipped. The pool and hot tub area is private and great for families - my daughter could have happily stayed there for two weeks. The neighbours were lovely also.
We simply loved our stay in this villa. It exceeded our expectations. Also the owner is so friendly and approachable so a personal word of thanks (our plans potentially could have changed due to an airline strike and he was very responsive and clear with availability).
We cannot wait to return to Florida again (although have to pay the credit card first!) and also will most definitely return to this villa but this time - we hope to be there for longer!

2 week vacation
A wonderful holiday was had by all guests. The house was spotlessly clean. A small issue with the pool for several days but the owner was quick to resolve this issue when notified.
Without being over critical as nothing I'm writing spoilt our stay. We found the property's decor slightly tired and dark. Some of the outside furniture had slight damage and there was insufficient outside cushions for the chairs and loungers. Air hockey table was barely usable and the pool table could benefit from a re-cover.
Very peaceful and secure location despite being minutes from the I 4 and enough restaurants in the immediate area should you wish to stay local.
I wouldn't hesitate to use this villa again should I return to Florida with my family.

Family Villa Review
Would definitely rent this villa again and recommend to all. Stayed in lots of villas before but first time there has been lots of extra touches such as shampoo/conditioner in all the bathrooms and cleaning items in the kitchen. The ninja air fryer was amazing with a toddler. Communication from Richard was excellent and he answered and dealt with all my many questions. He went the extra mile to ensure that we all had an enjoyable holiday. None of us wanted to leave and we hope to return soon.

Beautiful villa, excellent amenities
We have recently returned from two weeks stay, only two of us so there was plenty of space. The villa is lovely and has a lot of extras that most villas do not provide, (shampoo, conditioners, shower gel, soap powder, condiments, dishwasher tablets, foil etc etc, the list goes on). There were a lot of towels, plates, cups saucers etc. we have stayed in a lot of villas and this one was by far the best one for the additional extras provided. We have not stayed in a villa in Orlando for 18 years as we normally drive over to the coast so it was a lovely change staying in Orlando in such a beautiful villa. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the lounge seating was great, having leg rests. I would definitely stay here again if it’s available. Richard the owner was very personable and easy to contact. Highly recommended on all counts, so many more pluses to this villa.

Amazing Villa Stay!
We had an amazing stay! I am still missing waking up and sipping coffee on the balcony. I am missing the all day sun on the pool, the pool heating was an amazing feature! The villa came with everything you think you need in a villa and more! The beds were extremely comfortable, with ample bedding and towels provided. Great location and close to shops and restaurants! We will definitely be returning to this villa on our return to the USA!

Fantastic private family villa in Champions Gate
We spent 4 weeks staying in this villa and it was truly a home from home. The villa was very clean, well equipped and maintained and very spacious, we really particularly enjoyed the 2 living room areas. Richard and the management team were very responsive and dealt with the minor repairs we reported immediately.
The pool area is quiet and private and gets the sun all day. The location is close to all the Champions Gate amenities and felt safe. We used the community pool and gym too which are a 6-7 minute walk away. We would definitely recommend this villa and hope to return some time!

Beautiful Villa, Perfect Location
This is our 3rd time now in this Villa and we absolutely love it. We stayed in this villa for two weeks during the Summer Holidays (August 22). It’s absolutely gorgeous inside, so well looked after, very clean and all of the rooms were amazing sizes. (We had 5 of us all together). The pool area was lovely with towels to accommodate and is enclosed to keep the wildlife out and has a lovely view whilst sunbathing. Inside there is a games room located in the garage and large screen TV should you choose to relax inside. The location is perfect and close to Disney (approx 10minsdrive) with Universal about a 30min drive depending on traffic. There are plenty of local supermarkets around as well as places to eat, we especially like Millars and Crackerbarrel, and there are plenty of fast food restaurants to cater for everyone. When we decide on booking Florida for our holidays we don’t even bother to look elsewhere as we love this Villa and location and the management have been so easy to communicate with everytime. Thanks
