We looked at quite a few villa's and had conversations with a number of owners before settling on this one. It offered everything we wanted and was spacious enough for our family - husband, wife and three kids (13, 11 & 5). I had a fair bit of correspondence with the owner before we went as I wanted to be sure of what we were booking, etc. He was always prompt and helpful, including to my more obscure questions.
The villa itself was fantastic - just as advertised and it appears in the pictures, although it also felt very homely and we settled straight in. Its very large and could have easily accommodated another family too, but we just had room aplenty. It has all the amenities you could want and that were advertised including good Wi-Fi (essential for teenagers and used extensively by us adults too to book our Disney Fastpass+ rides. The pool was fantastic and like a warm bath - but that was really made by the outlook straight onto the lake where there was a myriad of bird life. The duck family seemed to take a special liking to us.
The location is very easy to get to from the airport and the neighbourhood felt very safe and secure. Disney and Universal are about 30-40 minutes away, depending on traffic and routes, and to my mind that is ideal as you get out of the madness and get meet the real Floridians who were all extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Drive ten minutes down the road and you can be in open country, and there is a lake with man-made beach and facilities very close by. This was something I was especially looking for as you need to get away after busy days at the park and it was peaceful with a great view. Shops and restaurants are easily accessible (Chick fil-a is a favourite of ours) and the quality/service is better than you get on Intl drive or the more touristy area's.
Overall a fabulous villa in a great location which gave us a brilliant holiday. It must be good as we're talking about going back !
