Upon arrival my family was immediately pleased with the cleanliness and accommodations of the house we rented for the week of our vacation. Having the available space to invite friends and family over to visit us while we were in Florida for a vacation was amazing. My wife was so pleased with the neighborhood in the house that she is now looking for a house that we can purchase. If we do purchase a house, hopefully our host will be able to manage our property as well as a rental.

We stay in the Davenport/Haines City area every year for our Disney vacation. This house is up to par. The star of this property is the beds in the suites. The most comfortable of any property we've stayed at. Very clean. Hot tub and pool heating worth the cost. Would stay again and would recommend.

My family and I stayed here during Spring break while we were visiting Legoland. The property was very clean, I have OCD and I’m a neat freak and I was very impressed by the cleanliness. The house was equipped to enjoy all of your family meals here while visiting. The gated community was a nice perk, and the house was conveniently located close to Walmart and Lowes. My family enjoyed the pool after a long day at the parks, and the safety gate provided peace of mind for my toddler. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Lovely neighbourhood, great for walking, people were friendly, we felt very safe and it's quiet and quite private. Pool and hot tub were great, we enjoying sitting out by the pool working during the day. Property is as described, grounds were well kept, house was neat and tidy and the beds in both masters were very comfortable. Having the Walmart Super centre so close was convenient for groceries, etc. Some very good restaurants close to the home. If you like boating, the Chain of Lakes is quite close , we rented a pontoon boat and toured the lakes and enjoyed the waterski show at Legoland with our family. Thank you John and Caroline for a wonderful stay.

We had a great time in this wonderful villa. Everything was as described, uncomplicated and everybody was helpful. We informed the Service Company once, because of a minor problem and they reacted immediately. And the trash bins were placed at the street and we did not find out who really supported us! Our plan was to do sightseeing and playing golf. All worked well and we found a nice and reasonably priced golf course close by. The Willowbrook Golf Course is absolutely recommendable. Just for those, who have the same hobby. Thanks for a good time! A. and U.B.

Property: As described and well maintained. Area: Gated community, quiet, clean and very private. Closed to Shopping, restaurants, grocery, gas. Golf: Plenty of golf course close by. We spent 12 days from Jan 7, 2019 in this villa. We really enjoyed our stays. The home is well maintained and well equipped. The games room is a plus in the evening after a day of golf. We loved the hot tub and the pool. I am glad we paid for the pool / hot tub heating because we needed it for Jan weather in that area. We had some cool days but it was great weather for golf. The kitchen is well equipped . We did some cooking ourselves, eating out sometime and takeout is easy with many choices in the area. Easy access to Disney area and other attractions. A couple of restaurants in the area we did really enjoyed were Manny's Chophouse and China Park. China Park have some really good fried dumplings. Good food and great services at both restaurants. Communication with the owner is easy and responsive. I would certainly book this same villa again. Thank You David Note: Southern Dunes and Provindence both are great golf course to play. Grenelefe East course are fun to play. Lots of golf course within 10 - 30 min drive. Prices ranging from $15 to $80. $30 to $50 with carts seems to be the average.

We had a fantastic stay here, can’t fault it. Myself, my husband my parents and my 2 young children comfortably stayed here for the last 12 days while we visited Disney. We were approx 30 mins from the parks, didn’t battle any traffic etc. Directions from John were spot on, no trouble finding the place even though it was dark and we were jet lagged when we arrived.. Walmart is less than 5 mins drive and we got all of our necessities there. Denny’s, Wendy’s, McDonalds, KFC all around Walmart as well as Chinese and pizza take away. Mannys Chophouse was superb, we ate here 3 times. The pool was fantastic, only 3ft deep at most points so my nearly 4 year old could comfortably play. Calabay Park is a full gated community so felt very secure at all times ?? We will definitely be back.

We stayed in this spacious, four bedroomed villa for three weeks and while there were six of us there, you would never have known. The villa was big enough for us to spread out so we weren't on top of one another, yet still small enough to allow us to feel as though we were on a family holiday. It was well equipped with everything we could need, both inside and out, including pool towels so we didn't need to haul those over from the UK. The villa complex is situated about 15 minutes from Disney World, and approx 30 mins from international Drive. This was handy for us as we visited Seaworld this year (an old favourite), and it only took just over 25 minutes to get there. Haines city itself and the area around the villa is full of great places to eat and shop. There is a huge Walmart only 5 minutes away where you can buy anything you need, from groceries to suncream. I would recommend this villa to anyone wanting a family home away from home and would gladly stay here again. John has been very easy to contact and glad to answer any (and many) questions I've had during the time that's lead up to our holiday.

Our week at Calabay Parc was wonderful. Our family of 10 (4 adults, 6 children ages 15-15-10-10-4-2.5) drove down from NC for a lowkey visit with family in nearby Winter Haven. The gated community was conveniently located for what we needed, with plenty of space and at-home activities to keep everyone entertained. I have experience in vacation/property management field and I was utterly impressed. This gem was super clean, organized, and not cluttered...this is what the pictures show and this is what we walked into. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We did, however, decide to shelve the breakable dishes and buy some cheap kid-proof ones instead. The kids were in the pool and game room every day. Tvs in all bedrooms and both living areas to keep everyone happy. Beds were comfortable as expected. Furniture was sturdy and tasteful. Really, there's nothing negative I could say about this home. Our relatives popped in for visits throughout the week and they were impressed as well. (The women in our family pride themselves in clean, organized homes, so this speaks volumes.) I do believe our family has already agreed we will be returning to this house in the future.

We've stayed in a couple of different properties in Calabay Parc. This house was perfect for our stay. My teenage boys LOVED the big screen tvs, pool, and the game room. The house is in a great location in the neighborhood. Pool is just right with plenty of laying out room. The hot tub was enjoyable as well. We had one minor issue with the heating of the pool, which we had paid extra for, and the management team come right out and corrected the issue. We come to Orlando every April and would definitely stay at this home again!!

I found this home on homeaway because it was one of the best priced houses for our family of 6. I saw that it had amazing reviews so it drew me in. I'm always skeptical of ordering anything online but John frequently communicated with me so that eased my mind. The day we left for vacation, there was a terrible winter storm so we left earlier to avoid it. I contacted John and asked if we could check in early. He emailed me back and said that was fine! I only gave him a few hours notice and he answered me right away. I couldn't have been happier. When we arrived to the house, it was beautiful! When my children walked in, they started crying because the house was so beautiful and they were so happy. This was our first vacation in 6 years so you can imagine their excitement. The house was perfectly cleaned. The pool heat was amazing for January temperatures. I was worried that it wouldn't be warm enough but it certainly was because we were swimming in 45F degree weather. Everything looks exactly as you see in the photos. The kitchen was equipped with dishes and pans so we were able to save money but eating in most of our meals. My only regret is that we bought the 4 day Disney passes. My children loved the house and heated pool so much that by our 3rd and 4th day of Disney, they didn't want to go because they wanted to stay and swim. I would definitely rent this house again. This was the best family vacation for such a great price!

This was our first time renting a villa when visiting Disney and it was absolutely perfect! There were a few hiccups but it was fine. The first issue was that we had asked for an early check-in time. When we arrived at the checkin time there was a lady there who was cleaning. She was told that we would not be coming until the following day. After a quick call to the management agency everything was straightened out and we brought in our belongings. The home was beautiful and large enough so that we all had plenty of space to relax in. The house was not decorated for the holidays as I was originally told it would be. The cleaning lady told me there was a Christmas tree in the garage if we wanted to put that up, but we did not want to deal with that. Really it wasn't a big deal, it would have just been a fun perk considering it was Christmas Day that we were there. My entire family (& extended family) really enjoyed themselves. The pool and hot tub were clean and large enough to keep everyone entertained! The pool table and air hockey table were a nice perk even though we didn't really use them because we were all in the pool! We will absolutely rent from John again! In fact my family and I were already discussing the next trip before we left!

The beds were comfy, very spacious and the pool was perfect. The tv was huge and had soooo many movies available on it. No issues at all, however one minor, minor suggestion would be maybe a small toy box for younger children. Getting to the property was easy. Once there, you are close to Walmart, Dollar Store, Big Lots, and numerous quick service restaurants. Easy access to the gates of Magic Kingdom (which was only 15 mins away) and 20-25 mins to Universal Studios. Communication was definitely a breeze with John.

Had just had the main tv and sofas replaced before we went so everything was new. The pool was the highlight for our kids and the jacuzzi for us after a long day at Disney. You tend to be apprehensive when staying in a place you have not been before but this villa was fantastic and had everything we wanted. Large Walmart only 5 mins away. Only 30 mins from all the parks. John was very punctual and informative in any queries I had regarding my booking. We would definitely stay in the villa again.

Hi Alex, Caroline and I are glad you and your family had a really nice time at our villa and surrounding area. I am very sorry to hear that the basic supplies were not up to scratch, this was an oversight from our management company. I have been in contact with them. The standard routine is that upon guest arrival, there is a new toilet roll in each of the 3 bathrooms, a kitchen roll, a few washing machine tablets, dishwasher tablets, bin liners etc.. This is to help our guests settle in to their self-catering holiday. One of the reasons we really like our villa is that it is just a couple of minutes drive away from a 24 hour super-sized supermarket, so it is so convenient for guests, once they have settled in to get exactly whatever they want to set themselves up for a lovely holiday. Looking forward to you and your family staying at our villa again in the future. Kind regards, John and Caroline

Loved staying at this beautiful home! It was a very quiet neighborhood, yet an easy drive to the nearest grocery store or Walmart. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of room in family room to sit and relax/visit/watch TV. Nice new tile floor and furniture in the family room, as well. We loved the pool, especially the wide stairs to just walk right down into the water. Very easy getting in and out for little kids or adults. Having an overhang above the poolside table is really a plus. You can choose to be in the sun or shade. We enjoyed driving into Davenport for dining and the nearby mall for shopping and movies. Thanks for a great week and wonderful accommodations, John and Caroline!

My wife and I spent the week relaxing and getting away from our busy lives back in Ohio. We had kids and grandchildren scheduled to join us but they could not make it, so instead of go-go-go we took it slow-slow-slow. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub even though the week was fairly cool. Plenty of nice places to eat within 20 minutes' drive, and the gated community was nice and quiet, unlike what a resort would have been. We visited Bok Tower and gatdens (20 minutes away) and Blue Spring State Park (a little over an hour away) and there were 297 manatees there the day we were there. Both very relaxing. The house is very accomodating for whatever type of vacation you want.

We traveled as a Christmas trip/gift to our children (8ys and 5ys old). We could not have asked for a better place to stay! The villa was extremely clean and well maintained. It had everything that we wanted. The kids loved the pool, and I admit, the adults loved the spa. The location was perfect, as it got us away from the crowds of Orlando, but also put us between Disney and Lego Land. I would stay in Haines City again, and I would definitely stay at this villa again. We were very close to Walmart for grocery shopping, and found a wonderful restaurant down the road (it became our favorite). The owners were always available to answer our questions, and they made the stay extremely comfortable and pleasant. We had an issue with the coffee pot, and we immediately had a new one waiting for us. John was so friendly, and you could tell that he was doing all he could to ensure our stay was top notch. Top notch it was, and we will be staying at this villa on our next trip to Florida. It is so nice to have space to spread out, and not be contained in a small hotel room. A personal pool vs. community pool is the way to go! Again, I highly recommend this villa! It was perfect!!!

My husband and I, along with my three grandchildren, recently stayed at this beautiful Villa. We were originally supposed to be a party of four adults and three children, but one couple had to cancel and I am so glad we didn't cancel our reservation here. The house is everything you could have asked ask for and more. There is everything there you need, including pool toys for the kids. The kids loved getting home from the theme parks and then being able to play in the pool for awhile. It was so nice to sit outside and just relax while we watched them and only have a dozen steps to walk to get inside versus having to go up a dozen floors if staying in a hotel or resort, not to mention the peace and quiet. There are a number of good places to eat and lots of places to shop nearby for groceries and supplies. The drive to and from the attractions is not that bad and it's all highway driving, so no problems with getting lost. I highly recommend this Villa for anyone visiting the Orlando area and will definitely be booking here if we ever plan another family vacation. EXCELLENT!

The villa was exactly what we hoped for and more, so much so, we did not want to leave! Very clean, very well equipped and spacious, even for two families. The pool was great and was enjoyed by everyone. Close to the parks, shopping etc. but situated out of the buzz in a lovely gated community; so we had the best of both worlds! Would definitely recommend the villa and we will be visiting again.

This home is a great place to stay. It had everything that we needed along with being very convenient to Legoland, Orlando, and Tampa attractions. It is close enough to the attractions but far enough away that you can have a peaceful day relaxing at the house. The pool set up was great and it was nice that it doesn't back up to other residences. The owner was very quick to follow up with instructions or answers. I will definitely be looking to stay here again for any future vacation holidays.

This was our first time using VRBO. It was a wonderful experience. Very reasonable. No problems getting in the gated community, which we were looking for. Quiet. A place to relax after a day at the parks. We had 7 people and I didn't feel crowded. The kids loved the pool. It was close to the attractions that we wanted to see. After only 1 week, we were advised our deposit would be returned. We would definitely recommend this home for your Orlando vacation needs.

This house was great! My husband, myself, our three children (6,13, and 16) as well as my parents stayed here on our Orlando vacation this year. Everything was very nice and the pool was great and very private compared to most. The two masters both with king beds was an important amenity that most in this price range did not offer. Also the security of the gated community was important in my opinion. John was very helpful with ALL my questions and security deposit was promptly returned within 5 days! I would also like to mention that we loved the fact that although it's not far from all the bustle that Orlando has to offer, it's far enough out that the traffic is normal and never crazy. Try Manny's Chophouse for dinner it is amazing (be prepared for a wait, or call ahead) and is is very close to the house! And per Johns advise we went to Discovery Cove, absolutely the best time in Orlando! Don't miss it!

We had an incredible vacation at this villa. The pictures do not do it justice. The layout of the home was perfect for our two families (four adults and five young boys ages 1-10). Everyone had plenty of room to move around in the house and the pool. It was an added bonus for our boys to walk out the back door to the pool every morning. We even had to convince them to get ready for the theme parks some mornings. The additional touches of the owner in consideration of families are AWESOME (especially the high chair, stroller and playpen for the baby)! The villa is centrally located to Legoland and the Disney Parks, yet far enough away that we never experienced traffic issues (huge bonus!). Highly, highly recommend for a fun and relaxing family vacation.

John was a wonderful host. Answered all our questions and made sure that our stay was just as expected. Security deposit was ever returned in less than a week of our return. Only 20 minutes from Disney, which we went to 7/8 days, and we never experienced any significant traffic. There was a grocery store and a few restaurants near by. If we ever go back to Florida we will be staying at this villa!

Hi Donna, We are very happy that you and your family had a wonderful holiday in our villa and the surrounding area and Disney & Orlando. We are looking forward to you and your family visiting again and also your friends. Kind regards, John & Caroline

I highly recommend renting from John and Caroline. The house was beautiful, had everything we needed and more, instructions were clear and concise, extremely kid friendly and ideally located to everything. John and Caroline were extremely accommodating and gracious hosts. House was definately big enough to give all of us enough space and the kids needed down time because Florida is an overstimulating place. This is why staying onsite at a Disney resort is not an option for our kids, because they can never decompress. Location was very easy for us to get in and out of Disney, Gatorland, Sea World, we spent a day in Daytona and even had days off where the kids just swam at the house and hung out at the pool. The coolest thing while we were at the house were these 2 Red headed Herons that visited us a couple of times. They walked up to the fence outside the pool to say hi. Just beautiful! The kids thought that was so cool! We couldn't buy that experience. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious and beautiful, with appropriate towels, sheets, closet space. Beds were so comfortable. Pool was heated. Air conditioning and heating as needed. The garage playroom was a HUGE HIT! Pool and pool toys, my kids could not get enough of it... I found the kitchen to be well supplied with all of the proper cooking utensils and plateware needed. Most importantly not being from florida we liked the gated community the house was housed in. Walmart was just around the corner for supplies and selling discounted tickets to Sea World which also helped too and super cheap souvioners. So close. Needless to say all of our friends rent from VRBO, but this was our first time, and we had our apprehensions, but John and Caroline are extremely reputable. Without a doubt our family would rent from them again. They take great pride in their home and instructions to everything are well laid out and everything works great.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Calabay Parc at Tower Lakes. The vacation home is well situated, close to many golf courses, shopping malls, airports, all the Disney attractions and the new Legoland in Winter Haven. Fitness facilities and health care is also close at hand if you need a chiropractor, a massage or even a hospital. Since it is a gated community you always feel secure for walking or jogging or coming home at night. Quiet, but with all the urban advantages. The home is well appointed, clean and well kept. The beds are comfortable as is the furniture in the spacious living areas. Having ready access to the property manager for questions and concerns is a definite plus as they can be handled very quickly and effectively for a stress free holiday. We very much enjoyed our stay and there was plenty of room inside and at the pool for visiting company.

Very close to Disney, easy to access highways and the airport at Orlando, the owners and the management firm were wonderful to work with, very very nice time, and many memories!

I say 'home' because this is how we felt stopping at this beautiful villa. Even though we stopped for 16 nights this still was not enough. The accommodation was perfect, clean and very spacious. The pool was great, with our 7 year old grandson now swimming underwater. The spa was gorgeous and with the pool heated absolutely out of this world. The location was very quiet, and although a little away from the hustle and bustle of Orlando and Kissimmee; Disney, Universal, International Drive and the 192 were so easy to find off the I4 which was approx 5 miles up the H27. It took 15 mins to Magic Kingdom and only 30 to Universal. All in all we had a great time and cannot wait to go back both to Orlando and this perfect Calabay Parc 'Home'.

The home is clean and was as described in the ad. Also, the owner was sure to have the pool and hot tub heat ready when we got there (we had pool heat issues with another home in this same subdivision we rented). There is an extra fee for this, but it is worth it in my opinion. To me this is a much better way to go than staying on a Disney property or hotel. You get a pool and hot tub to enjoy instead of an overcrowded shared pool. Also, there is free internet access, cable TVs, movies and video games. This home is about 15 minutes to Disney attractions. There are nearby restaurants, grocery stores, fast food, and hospital. The owner is honest and we received our deposit quickly. Would do again.
