Thousand Oaks Courtyard Villa 4 Bed 3 ½ Bath | Sleeps 9

Had a fantastic stay in a villa with an enclosed pool and courtyard. Plenty of wildlife viewed from the patio. Villa on a quiet estate a few minutes drive from supermarkets, restaurants and pharmacy. Easy access to the parks, malls, celebration, 192 and Air-boat rides without the need to drive along the I 4!!- Uber readily accessible which we used to go to EPCOT and Dine out for less than $20 each way - turned out to be a great location. Villa nicely equipped and very clean. Have stayed in Florida at least once a year for the last 20 years would definitely choose this property again.

We have stayed twice in this villa and it has everything you need for a great holiday. We love the quiet location and privacy of the pool and outside space. The area feels tranquil and safe and you are close to a great Publix supermarket. Carole is a very helpful property owner and the local property management company are very helpful too. We would not hesitate to recommend in and hope to stay there again in the future.

Following a long period of travel restrictions due to Covid it was nice for the family to get together in this well positioned and well appointed Florida pool home to enjoy some long overdue rest & relaxation. The sunshine state did not disappoint nor did good old Walt & Co. If you're planning to visit the theme parks and other attractions that the Orlando area has to offer than we can recommend this property.

Beautiful villa close to everything ! Plenty of space for at least 2 families . Simple easy directions to find . Publix , CVS and Aldi are 5 mins drive . I4 link also 5 mins .

Championsgate with many bars and restaurants also only about 5 mins away . The villa itself is in a quiet residential area . Backing onto Greenland . Very private . TVs in each room with Netflix etc . Kitchen fully equipped . Lounge has 3 large sofas to suit larger family’s. Can’t fault it .

Four of us stayed here in March 2020 and we all had a wonderful time. Detail of the villa received from Carole including address, directions, management company etc., were easy to follow and we found the home without any issues at all. It is in a very quiet neighborhood and when sitting around the pool you really do not know anyone else is around. Lovely. House and pool area were found to be very clean on arrival. There are plenty of plates, dishes and utensils etc. Everything we needed to cook at home was there. The whole house is very spacious especially the lounge area and master bedroom. Television has Netflix etc. so you can watch films if you decide to stay in during the evening. There is also a dvd player with a selection of films for all ages. We had the spa heated and this was really hot and relaxing. Was well worth the small additional cost. Would highly recommend. Carole contacted us while we were there to ensure everything was ok. A nice touch. Would we stay here again - certainly.

Lovely home that was a part of a blessed vacation getaway. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, but with easy access to all the major theme parks in the Orlando area. We found everything we needed in the home to make our stay great. Both the kids and adults loved the spa and pool. We would definitely consider rebooking in the future.

We have stayed here twice (September and December) and we love this place! The amenities make it easy to travel and to be "at home". It's great for making quick trips to Disney, Universal, and the beaches nearby. The kids love having their own room to sleep in. The toys, games, and movies are also a huge perk for them as well as us. The spa and pool are a great way to unwind after being on your feet all day at the amusement parks. Carole has a beautiful home to offer and we will keep coming back!

We had a wonderful stay at this villa! Carole was a gem to work with and we had SO MUCH space! We were a family of 7 and we had room for several more if needed. The kitchen is huge, adjacent to a large living area that has ample space and furniture. The master was very large and the separate 1 bed/bath combo room on side of house worked great for our daughter and son-in-law and our 15 month old grandson (packnplay was provided!) because we didn't have to worry about noise from the rest of us in main house waking him. All of us decided it was best place we had stayed and will stay again and highly recommend to others. You won't be disappointed! Easy drive to all Disney parks and a Publix grocery 1 mile away. If staying at time of year with moderate temperatures, there are two porches to enjoy. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed daily as we returned from long days at the park. It's just an all around great place to stay!

Carole, thank you again for allowing us to rent your "Florida house" as my daughter called it. It was absolutely lovely, the kitchen was so clean and spacious (my daughter loved to dance in there!), and we all were so comfortable. We especially loved loved the cathedral ceilings! The pool temperature was perfect and the hot tub was a godsend after a hectic day at Disney parks. The only suggestion I might make is to place handrails for the pool and especially the hot tub because it was difficult for our elderly parents to get in and out without assistance. We look forward to visiting our "Florida house" again real soon!

This is our second stay at Thousand Oaks and everything was just as good as we remembered. The villa is in a quiet suburban setting with great road connections to the I4 for Universal and Disney. There is a Publix 5 mins away for essentials and a good selection of restaurants and take-aways all within 10 mins drive. The owner Carole has thought of every detail to make a holiday great, this is not an impersonal corporate villa, it feels like a real home from home with creature comforts for the whole family catered for from excellent wifi to a cupboard full of books and games for quite days in. We wouldn't stay anywhere else, this villa is just perfect!

Right from our initial contact with Carole through to the day we left to come home, the experience has been brilliant. Two things strike you when you first arrive in the villa: 1- the space, and; 2 - the quality of the furnishing and fittings. The villa is without doubt the best we have ever stopped in, and we've been coming to Florida for a few years now. Half of our party of 8 was made up folk in their late seventies and early eighties and the villa suited all of our needs. The sun-worshipers caught the early morning rays in lovely seating area next to the BBQ, they then moved to the rear of the house and were still soaking up the sunshine by the pool at 8pm. Thousand Oaks is a lovely estate and ideally situated for Interstate 4, the #27 and general access to Disney/Universal and the #192. Local shopping is available too at Champions Gate which is only minutes away by car. Daytona Beach was just over an hours drive away and Winter Haven is only 25 minutes down the road. We all had a great time during our 3-week stay, and Carole's villa played a huge part in making this a grand family holiday.

We absolutely enjoyed the stay and the trip. Everything about the house was perfect! The owner's attention to detail is amazing when it came to what a family would need for a comfortable week long stay. We also spent some good pool time. Great stay and thanks. We will certainly recommend and come back again.

After clear, precise instructions from Carole, the owner, we arrived at the Villa. Everything was as we expected. It is set in a lovely neighbourhood, but close enough to get to all the parks. Kennedy Space Centre, Seaworld, and Busch Gardens were also easy to get too, Kennedy and Busch Gardens taking roughly an hour to reach. It was lovely to come back after the hustle and bustle of the parks to relax in the lovely pool, and sit out and relax in the pool area. It was nice to eat in some nights and everything that you needed in the kitchen, was provided. We wanted for nothing. A Pubix was about 5 minutes away by car. The bedrooms were very comfortable, with amble storage space, especially in the master bedroom, with its walk in wardrobe. It was useful to have the "annex" attached, which provided some privacy for the other guests. We would not hesitate to recommend this super villa, and hope that we can return again to wallow in its luxuries, and enjoy all it has to offer.

This is the second time we have stayed in this lovely villa. It really feels like home from home. The layout works well with a family, giving everyone their own space. The Grandchildren LOVED the secure pool area. It is convenient for the parks, without being too close for comfort. The villa is well appointed and spotlessly clean. We can't wait to go back for a third visit.

This is a wonderful home! We really enjoyed our stay there! The owner is so nice and wants her renters to enjoy their stay. There is plenty of room for preparing meals in the large kitchen. The bedrooms are nice size with lots of storage space. Light sleepers or anyone wanting extra privacy will enjoy the bedroom and bath that are separate from the house. The hot tub was certainly a plus! We wouldn't hesitate to rent from this owner again!

I saw this villa after scrolling through loads and was attracted to the unusual layout which is really nice. My Wife and I along with our our eldest daughter, youngest daughter and her fiance and our three grandkids were on holiday for two weeks with our youngest daughter and her fiance getting married in the first week at Cocoa Beach. The villa is very clean and bright with a huge kitchen area which, as an amateur chef, I loved. The bedrooms are all an excellent size with tons of closet space. One of the en-suite bedrooms is separate from the main building (The unusual layout) which gave the newlyweds a bit more privacy. Everyone loved the pool area and the heated jacuzzi is fab. The villa is located in a quiet woodland area and ideally located for the Disney parks and shopping outlets. Carole the owner is extremely helpful and even put a bottle of bubbly in the newlyweds bedroom for our arrival which was a very nice gesture. I would highly recommend this villa, as I have stayed in a few over the years so I have others to compare it with, and the only thing I would have liked would have been a games room but I certainly would not let this put me off booking this villa. I will be recommending this villa to family, friends and colleagues and it would be my first choice when I return to Orlando. Carole -thanks again ????????

Perfect! We were able to visit the parks and come back and relax by the pool wiithout worrying about crowds or screaming kids. We could get up late and not be bothered. It was great! The home was clean and comfortable. This was our first home rental and we had such a great positive experience we can't wait to do it again. Our teenagers loved the pool and spa.

We had a fantastic time! This home is very clean and exceeded our expectations. The layout of this house really provided privacy both inside and out. Lots of areas to catch the Florida sun. I have stayed in several vacation homes and I would rate this home my #1 choice. Can't wait to reserve this home again.

Just a short note on how much we enjoyed staying at this home this winter. Loved the house. It was spacious and our king size bed was wonderful. We all loved the pool and spa, but especially granddaughters(ages 3 & 5). We loved the quietness of the area, and yet being so close to Disney World and all the entertainment that tourists love to see. We spent time at Disney, Legoland , Sea World, Old Town, Downtown Disney, drove out to Kennedy Space Centre plus enjoyed a lot of good restaurants. Loved the fact that we were near the sidewalk so that we could walk and the grand daughters could ride their bikes. I believe we made memories that we will treasure forever. Would consider staying again in the future.

This was perfect for our family! Large rooms for visiting, dining plus a great pool for grandchildren. We were very close to Disney and Universal studios with grocery stores and restaurants close by. We would certainly rent this well-maintained home again.

We took our first trip to the Orlando Area last Feb. As we drove through the area on our way to the house, we passed by many,many houses that we were glad we did not rent. It seems most of the houses are practically on top of each other. The people at the pools looked like animals on display at the zoo. This was not the case with Thousand Oaks! The neighborhood had houses with nice sized yards. The house wrapped around the pool on three sides. The pool had bushes on the 4th side. We always felt peacefully alone at the house. The hot tub was nice and hot. The pool was comfortably warm in Feb. Even though the house was near all the attractions, we spent 2 days of our week just enjoying the comfortable house. The only negative is that you do have to mail your check all the way to England or pay a fee to use a credit card. That small hassle ahead of time is worth the relaxation when you get to Florida.

We loved the pool and the convenient location to all of Orlando's attractions. The home was large and well maintained and in a very quiet neighbourhood. When we return to the Orlando area we will definitely be contacting Carole about renting this home again!

We have rented this vacation home multiple times and each time we leave refreshed and rejuvenated! It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to all the major attractions. The property is clean and well-maintained. Carole, the owner is easy to work with and the management company is helpful too. We have stayed at hotels and other vacation homes in the Orlando/Davenport area and none of them compare to this rental. If you're looking for a place to relax and still have the conveniences of home this is a great place to stay. Our family looks forward to returning this summer.

We found every aspect of our stay at Thousand Oaks perfect for our three generation family holiday. The location was perfect as all parks etc. are within easy reach, but to come home to a quieter area was ideal. The property is clean and well maintained. The pool is perfect for young and old alike. I would thoroughly recommend this property and we genuinely hope to take more family members to stay there in the future.

Stop here! This is the best kept secret of ____ rentals in the Orlando\Disney area! Twice before finding this property we were disappointed in our pool home rentals and when we saw Thousand Oaks on ____ we immediately booked it as it seemed perfect for our family of 6. When we arrived the property was even better than the pictures showed and we knew we had something special. Carol, the owner from Britian was a delight to deal with and couldn't have been any more friendly and helpful getting us set up for our holiday. I met the property manager when we arrived and I was struck by his professionalism and attention to detail in overseeing the maintanance of the home. We have already booked for this spring and as long as keep making our annual trip to Florida we will be staying here!
