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!

Thanks Doreen much appreciated
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!

Fab Villa, all you need for a stay, close enough for the parks but far enough away from the Biz to enjoy peace & quiet .
Great local Restaurants & enough shopping to get you through.

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

Having visited Florida for over 26 years the villa offers everything you need to enjoy a perfect vacation. The location is ideal for accessing the park life, the gulf or Atlantic shorelines along with shopping venues whilst being on the outskirts of all for a peaceful and relaxing stay if you wish.
The villa is equipped with all the amenities you would require and many more for guests convenience and enjoyment.
The hosts Richard and Diane are vey accommodating and always accessible should you require anything.
Having stayed at the property now on numerous occasions we highly recommend it!
