Location
Highlands Reserve Florida villas located in Davenport, 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 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. We have a selection of Highlands Reserve vacation rentals from 3 to 7 bedrooms so somethings to suit all guests. Most of the Highlands Reserve vacation rental owners live in the US, UK or Canada and can take payments in USD & GBP NO SERVICE FEE
Highlands Reserve is very popular with snowbirds from up north who love to winter in the sunshine. Most owners are happy to take snowbird bookings from 30 - 90 days. Just send them an email to get a quote but don't hang around these vacation rentals book up fast for the winter months.
The Highlands Reserve villa 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!
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!

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.

One of the best villas we’ve ever stayed in!
We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at Diane’s villa in Highlands Reserve. After a long journey, arriving late at night to a beautifully lit home made such a difference – it immediately created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that helped us relax straight away.
The villa itself is spacious and immaculately clean, with a real sense of care and attention in every detail. The beds and soft furnishings were incredibly comfortable, and we really appreciated the abundance of extra bedding, pillows, and towels available.
The kitchen exceeded all expectations, especially the addition of an air fryer, and it was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The quality crockery and utensils made catering effortless and enjoyable. Discovering the pool table and a selection of novels in the garage was another delightful touch, giving us even more ways to unwind and spend time together.
The location was ideal - peaceful and relaxing, yet perfectly convenient for everything we wanted to do in Orlando.
It’s clear that Diane has put a great deal of thought, care, and pride into creating such a special place for her guests. We left feeling truly refreshed, happy, and already talking about when we can return.
Without a doubt, this is one of the best villas we’ve ever stayed in, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and a touch of luxury. Diane is an exceptional host - attentive, kind, and completely trustworthy - ensuring every aspect of your stay is just right and genuinely memorable.

LOVED Diane's home!
My family LOVED Diane’s home!!! The house was beautiful and well maintained. Each room was meticulously cleaned! We paid to have the pool heated and it was THE PERFECT TEMPERATURE throughout our stay. Diane was great about communicating when the pool cleaner and a contractor were popping by. We would definitely recommend this amazing Airbnb to others and hope to stay here again!

Amazing views from the pool
We loved our stay at Diane’s villa. So many extras in the kitchen that made our stay enjoyable. We also unexpectedly arrived before check in and Diane did her best to ensure she had recommendations for us until the villa was ready. The open space behind the house was great for viewing wildlife (deer, turtles and birds). Diane was very responsive before, during and after our stay. What a great host!!

Great private pool area with a Spectacular View
It is a lovely house, great private pool area with a spectacular view. The beds and furniture were good quality and very comfortable, it was truly a home from home. Loads of TVs and good internet. One of the daily joys was getting into the pool. Very warm and welcoming - and that is in February! Diane was a pleasure to deal with, always responding quickly. We look forward to staying there again. Thank you Diane.

Thanks Philip, looking forward to having you both back with us next year, Diane
Peaceful neighorhood, felt right at home
Diane was an absolutely wonderful host and her villa was amazing. It was clean, welcoming, and we felt right at home. It was just my boyfriend and I so we didn't need all of the space that was available, but if I had been traveling with friends, there is more than enough space to accommodate a group comfortably. The neighborhood was peaceful, quiet, and close to town. I would not hesitate to rebook with one of Diane's properties in the future should I be in the area again!!

Beautiful Villa in quiet surroundings
The villa was immaculate. Great open space, clean with everything you need for a relaxing break. Lovely pool and outside eating area which we thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely not to be overlooked at all whilst enjoying the outdoor space. Lots of restaurants and shops within the area.
Cannot fault anything and will definitely be booking again in the future.
Thank you for providing us with a great experience.
