Location
Highlands Reserve villas located in Davenport, Florida just off HWY27. This luxury villa rental, golf course community is a great place from which explore all the world famous Orlando attractions. As you enter the community, and pass the welcoming waterfall, you drive down the main tree lined Highlands Reserve Blvd and pass the clubhouse on your right. Various golf holes can also be seen from either side of the road. The community also has a children’s play area. NO SERVICE FEE
The Highlands Reserve vacation rental community is split into seven subdivisions. Most have golf related names you will recognise including, Troon, Belfry and Gleneagles. If the names inspire you to enjoy a round of golf, then tee times can be booked at the clubhouse. The course is ideal for golfers of all levels. With wide open fairways, undulating greens and only one water hazard on the tenth hole.
For a different golfing experience why not try the Country Club at Champions Gate or Ridgewood Lakes both of which are nearby. Other local courses include Southern Dunes, Reunion Resort (3 courses) and Champions Gate (2 courses). So many options so little time!
After a hard round of golf why not check out the locals favourite bar, the Paddy Wagon! Located at Berry Town Center, the nearby shopping plaza, the Paddy Wagon has quiz nights, ladies night and lots of drink specials. As well as multiple tv screens showing all your favourite sports and English Premier football.
If you are in Orlando to visit the theme parks then Highlands Reserve is a great location with Disney World's main gate only 15 minutes away. Whilst, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and SeaWorld are around 25 minutes away by car.
Fancy a day at the beach, no problem, Highlands Reserve is located about an hour from either coast. Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic is great for surfing. Whilst, Clearwater Beach on the Gulf Coast is ideal for swimming or relaxing in the calm warm waters, which live up to it’s name!
Luxury Davenport Villas on Highlands Reserve
All our Highlands Reserve Davenport villas are located around 35 minutes from Orlando International Airport (MCO). Sanford (SFB) and Tampa (TPA) airports are just over an hour away. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic fly direct to Orlando and Tampa along with a number of other airlines. Most tour operators like Thomson fly into Sanford airport.
A great advantage of staying on Highlands Reserve is the size of the lots the villas are built on. Having oversized lots means the homes are not right on top of each other, which you often see on other Orlando villa communities.
Guests come back year after year to Highlands Reserve making it one of the most popular villa communities in Orlando. With its great location, excellent golf course and larger than normal homes, it’s easy to see why!
Highlands Reserve Villas: Driving Distances to the Orlando Theme Parks
We have added the actual driving distances to the main Orlando theme parks. These are not the distances to the main gate which most people quote, but to the car park for each attraction.
Most journeys to the parks are via highways or the main I-4 Interstate. Driving at speeds of 55-65 MPH makes it quick to get there, and all attractions are well sign posted.
- Animal Kingdom - 11 miles
- Hollywood Studios - 13 miles
- Magic Kingdom - 15 miles
- Epcot - 15 miles
- SeaWorld - 21 miles
- Universal Studios - 24 miles

3rd visit
My husband and I have stayed at this beautiful villa for the past 3 years.
It has a very well situated location with the swimming pool backing onto a nature reserve. The pool area gets the sun for most of the day.
The villa itself is well looked after and well equipped and Sam and Betty have recently redecorated and it looks great.
The villa is within a short travelling distance from the theme parks and shopping malls.

Fabulous Holidays
This villa is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and has all the amenities to make your stay as easy and convenient as possible. The pool area is amazing, captures the sun all day, fantastic to sit back and relax and enjoy some beautiful sunsets. The master bed is massive and so comfortable. Within a couple of minutes drive you have a Publix supermarket and local restaurants. Twenty min drive to Disney and all the parks and so convenient for the I4 if your heading off west to Tampa/Clearwater or east to Daytona. Sam & Betty are very helpful and have made sure you have everything for a great stay. Thanks for allowing us to rent your beautiful home. Kind Regards Ian & Karole

Thanks Betty & Sam for letting us stay in your fantastic villa. I'll be back!

Florida vacation
From the first email forward we had excellent communication with Sam and Betty.They answered all our questions promptly.The directions to the house were great and we loved the location.Close to grocery store,restaurants.Just far enough from the busy highways..Took approx 30-45 minutes to get to Disneyland area depending on the time of day.The house was amazing,spacious,and clean.Loved the big main bathroom.But hands down the pool was the best thing to come home at the end of the day and relax in.We did get the pool heated and loved it.That was the grandkids favourite part.We bought groceries and ate breakfast at home,packed lunches to go to the parks.And ate out for suppers most nights(we were on holidays)That saved a lot of money.The neighbourhood was great.Golfing,walking.It was quiet and relaxing.Loved Loved Loved it and would go back again.Thanks Sam and Betty??

Fantastic villa
A fantastic villa. I was dubious about booking a private villa, however I would recommend this one. It is exactly as described on the website and pictures are accurate. Owners Sam and Betty answered all my emails promptly. The villa is clean and the pool area is wonderful. Lovely views over the reserve. Ideal location for Disney etc. I would also recommend the swim with the Dolphins at Discovery Cove. I would highly recommend this villa and would return.

Fabulous Florida Villa
We were delighted with this villa on our recent trip to Florida. From our initial email to the owners (Sam and Betty) right through to arrival everything went very smoothly. You can tell that it is a much loved home and the attention to detail was fantastic ensuring a very relaxing stay. We really looked forward to returning home each night to the lovely house and pool and relaxing after a hard day at the theme parks. Would recommend this villa to everyone and really hope to return again.

Highland Reserve property (Sam & Betty's)
The home was in a very good location, close to everything - Disney etc. , the home was very nice and clean when we arrived. The pool was great, and one nice thing we loved about the home was that the reserve was directly behind the home, no homes behind you. Everything about our stay was great and I would recommend the home to anyone.

Another perfect holiday in Florida
This was our first stay in this villa having stayed many times in the area over the last 25 years. On arrival we were delighted with the property which was amply sized for the four of us and could have accommodated more. It is well situated for the surrounding attractions and dining but far enough away to ensure peace and quiet for relaxing days around the pool which attracted the sun from the early morning through to sun set. The décor throughout the house was modern, light and stylish offering all we could need for our stay. A small problem with the pool heating was addressed immediately by the management company once we reported it. A property we definitely hope to return to!

Happy Holidays
We had a wonderful 3 week stay in this lovely vill and would not hesitate to stay here again or to recommend to family and friends. From our initial telephone enqiry everything ran very smoothly and we were given all the relevant information necessary to locate and access the villa.
On arrival we were delighted to find that the house exceeded our expectations. It was beautifully maintaned and scrupulously clean. The location was perfect with the parks very easily accessible and a well stocked supermarket within walking distance.
The facilities in the villa provided everything we needed and we particularly enjoyed the pool overlooking the conservation area.
All in all a wonderful home from home. It was a pleasure to return at tjhe end of a tiring day at the parks, kick off our shoes and relax.

LOVELY PROPERTY ON HIGHLANDS RESERVE
Our holiday to Florida with or Gran kids was enhanced by staying at this luxury villa which is not overlooked. It was ideal for commuting to the theme parks. The owners Sam & Betty attended to our every detail and provided detailed instructions on the directions from the two main airports. We have stayed in Florida on numerous occasions and for value and location I can thoroughly recommend this property
