Calabay Parc at Tower Lake - 4 Bedroom 3 Bathroom

After staying previously in this villa, we had already decided that we wanted to book with Maureen and Joe again. Once again the villa was exceptional Maureen was accommodating and allowed us into the villa earlier than check in time, it just feels like home as soon as you enter, the redecorating in some of the rooms added an extra special feel and the villa holds everything that you could possibly need for a short break or a longer one. The communication from booking to end was first class and I hope we get the opportunity to revisit again one day.

Thank you again Stephen and family, nice to know that that our efforts to keep our home feeling extra special are appreciated. Come back anytime

We had a fantastic stay at this gorgeous villa. It is spacious but homely with every amenity you could ever need during your Orlando holiday. The pool area was enjoyed often due to the south facing pool and lanai. The beds in the villa were extremely comfortable and exactly what we needed after a park day! We particularly loved the huge TV in the lounge area and enjoyed watching movies on it. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book it again! Thank you!

Thank you Carol, we really appreciate your very kind comments.

We have stayed in numerous villas in the past but this was the best by far. The villa is beautifully decorated in every room and spotlessly clean including the pool. There was lots of little extras that not many villas include but they make a big difference . Maureen was very helpful and honoured our deposit and booking from 2020.

Thank you Mandy, glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back anytime.

This home exceeded all of our expectations. The area was away from all of the hustle and bustle of the theme parks but close enough that they were just a short drive away. The decor of the home was beautiful, warm and inviting and it really did make us feel as if we were in our home away from home. The Toy Story bedroom for the children was awesome and the Margaritaville room was a great place to hang out after a long day. We had some very minor issues with cleaning but we were able to take care of those fairly quickly and enjoy ourselves. Everyone from the owners, the management company and even the pool cleaner were extremely friendly and welcoming. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

Thank you for your very kind comments Alicia and both myself and Management Company have taken on board the small issue you had in your arrival with cleanliness. This was an exceptional circumstance that in ten years of renting has never been an issue, I can only assume that our cleaner had an off day and didn’t complete things to our usual very high standard. Despite this I am glad that you wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Come back soon Maureen

it was perfect, from the location, to the size/space, level of comfort, neighbourhood, pool, shops etc.

What a absolutely fabulous villa, great location 30 min drive to attractions and that meant not so crowded. Great facilities at the Villa and around the surrounding area was a good selection of shops and restaurants. The villa was spacious with a great pool table and games room, also a lovely swimming pool. Would recommend and revisit in a heartbeat

Thank you Karen lovely to have you stay. Thank you also for the lovely addition to our kids library that was very kind of you

Had a great time at this villa. Movie room, games room, beautiful bedrooms, great TVs and great pool. The grandchildren didn’t want to go to the parks they wanted to stay at the pool. The villa has everything you need it’s a home from home. Would highly recommend it.

Thank you Sandra, we are so glad you had a wonderful holiday, come back soon

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Villa did not disappoint. Loved the personal touches and the owners efforts make you feel at home from arrival. Very accurate and professional information given by Maureen as to Villa directions and access, this is really helpful when flying in at midnight! We had never booked directly with a private owner before and were understandably nervous but all of our dealings with Maureen were second to none. This made our holiday so much more enjoyable. Would definitely return.

thankyou.

Communication from Maureen was exceptional and made holiday planning so much easier. Villa location is ideal, it is in a gated community and easy to find. There are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, petrol stations etc close by. The villa was clean and spacious and included everything we needed, home from home. My husband and son was very impressed by the 70 inch TV and being able to watch Premiership football games!! Games room is well equipped to keep everyone entertained. We will definately book again, I highly recommend the villa.

As you are a frequent traveller to Florida Jane you will have a very good idea of the sorts of properties available and we really do appreciate you taking time to leave a review. Come visit again

The Villa was everything we had hoped for and more, spotless and well equipped. It has a very homely feel and the kids loved the pool and the Theatre Room. The community is quiet and the staffed gates were an added bonus for sense of security. Maureen the owner made the whole experience very easy and could not have been more helpful, providing excellent customer service. Shops and Restaurants only minutes away and easy access to the main routes to the parks. I would recommend to anyone.

Thank you Tim for your very kind comments, especially as you are a frequent traveller to Florida and know how this compares to other properties, come back anytime.

This was our first time & won't be the last. This villa has everything you need. Huge spacious rooms, super comfy beds, pool table, cinema room & the monster 75" TV. Then you have a fab pool & sun deck which is just what we needed to relax at after spending the day at the parks. Only 25 min from Disney & 5 min from a selection of restaurants & a huge Walmart. We truly felt at home all thanks to the fabulous personal touches that are throughout this villa. This wasn't a holiday villa but a home away from home. Thanks for letting us stay and as Mickey says "See you real soon".

Thank you for your very kind comments Stephen, glad you had a fabulous holiday. Come back soon

We rented the villa for our first family holiday to Florida and it could not have been better! My wife and 2 children (girl 8, boy 4) had everything we needed and more during the best holiday we've had as a family. The service we received even before reaching the villa was fantastic. We were given great directions to the villa from Tampa airport along with clear instructions on how to access the estate and the property. From the first moment we set foot in the villa we felt at home with the comfortable living areas it provides (plus awesome TVs, Xbox, cable and more) along with a really safe outdoor pool area. On the rare occasion my kids were not in the pool they were in the garage games room playing pool or talking to the lovely Rita! We were at the Disney or Universal theme parks most of the holiday which you can reach in 20 mins from the villa (I4 traffic permitting :-)) The villa is literally 5 mins drive from a big Walmart and also a bunch of nice restaurants (Mannys chophouse was our fav!) I would thoroughly recommended the property to anyone visiting the area as it as something for all ages and families. The only negative item on my review is that we had to leave and return home to normality! However we will be planning a second trip around the availability of the villa!

Thanks Lorna, Happy that you enjoyed your stay again. Have you back anytime

This was a lovely home to stay in. Everything was clean and well prepared. The owner Maureen is very organised and provides all the information you would need in a timely manner. The only frustration was that the key code was different to the one provided. Between the owner and the management company that was sorted out very quickly. Otherwise the facility was exactly as described. The local area provides some interesting restaurants, and is a standard 20-30m away from the theme parks. We had a family of 5 and all had a great time.

We had a fantastic time at Villa Rita, the rooms were beautifully decorated, everything you would/could need in the kitchen with a few basics in the cupboards to start you off (happy daughter because there was some sugar for her tea which we had forgotten!) the grandchildren were safe early morning playing pool in the garage whilst we woke up. Convenient for Disney world, shops and restaurants. We got to know the gate guard quite well and he was helpful with suggestions where to go for dinner etc. Maureen was lovely and answered lots of questions for us. Thank you for letting us share your villa :)

We stayed at this wonderful villa in August 2016. We are a family of four with two grown up children aged 17 and 21 at the time. It was easy to find, as we were given with clear directions before we arrived . It is located in a great position, a short drive from Orlando airport, perfect for all the Disney parks and away from all the hustle and bustle. Supermarkets a few minutes away. We were very impressed with the size of the villa and it is decorated to a very high standard with some lovely finishing touches. It was all very clean and there was everything there that we needed. We loved the theatre room and games room with Tiki bar. The pool and outdoor area was great! A lot of thought has gone into making this beautiful villa very unique and quirky. We liked the fact that it was a gated resort, so it always felt safe and secure. Unfortunately, we only stayed here for 6 nights and we were too busy visiting the Disney parks to make the most of the facilities it offered. We needed a few more days relaxation. We would love to return and would definitely need to stay more nights than we did. We would highly recommend this villa, it is perfect for a visit to Florida!!

We stayed at this accommodation for 3 weeks in July 2016. We were a party of 7 including 3 boys aged 19, 13 and 8 and grandparents and the property catered well for us all. It was a clean, comfortable and spacious accommodation. The boys regularly used the games room and the cinema room whilst we used the main family room. It has a fantastic pool area where we ate all our meals and enjoyed great family fun. It was very close to the supermarket and not far from the main attractions. This was the first time we had booked a villa so we were a little nervous beforehand. However, it was a great choice and we found the owners incredibly helpful and accommodating- they couldn't do enough to make sure we had a relaxing holiday. When we save up enough money to return to Florida, we will happily book this property again as it met all our needs.

Thank you Paula for your very Kind comments. The house has families in mind as we to have three boys ranging from late teens to early 20's so we know how important it is that your holiday home can accommodate all age groups and keep everyone entertained when not visiting theme parks.

This was our second stay at this amazing villa. This villa s fr the family that just wants that extra little piece of class and luxury. We have found at this Villa really does feel like home rather than the usual villas which are comfy, but not as homely as ths one. This Aug was our 5th visit and this property is by far the best. We are already looking forward to our 3rd stay. The villa is ideally located for supermarkets, Disney, legoland and Universal. Lots of entertainment for days around the house including Xbox, Wii, pool table and endless DVD's to keep the kids happy! The directions from airport was very simple, along with instructions for gaining entry into the estate and house.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about our home. You and your family would be welcome back anytime.

This was the second time we have rented this villa and the experience was just as good. We were given all the codes etc for the villa before our trip along with very clear driving directions and therefore we had no difficulty finding it. The outside lights were on when we arrived making us feel welcome. The villa was clean and well presented. The beds are really comfortable so you get a good night's sleep after a busy day. The pool was a little cool for us initially but a call to the management company rectified this immediately and we we were able to enjoy the pool fully. We loved the decor and felt that the villa was equipped with everything we needed. A safe is also available. The proximity to the parks is advantageous. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this villa again when we are next in Haines City.

A wonderful place to use as a base for our family holiday. Maureen was extremely helpful and gave clear instructions on how to find the villa. Lots of useful info provided once there and the management company were quick to respond to any queries.The villa was well maintained, extremely comfortable and welcoming, with lots of character and nice touches. We had many tasty barbecues, but the pool was the biggest hit with the family - we spent hours in it!!

If you are looking for a villa to rent. Look no further, this is the ideal villa for your trip to Orlando. We stayed there for 2 weeks and what can I say! It is amazing. The furnishings and decor are first class. We didn't want to leave to visit the parks . Therefore you could easily stay here and still have a great holiday. The owners are also first class they keep in touch before you go and are also easily approachable if you need to ask any questions. They gave us directions from airport to villa and it made such a difference to us. They also let us know about local restaurants shopping and cinemas. Don't hesitate to rent this villa, you will have the holiday of a lifetime

Very comfortable with lots of space for the kids to play and for my wife and I to relax. Good location close to the I4 and handy for all the theme parks. Found a magic steakhouse a few minutes drive away. I will definately go back.
