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 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 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!
Highlands Reserve Florida Villas in Davenport
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!

Pool Safety Fences
Most of our Florida villas will either have door alarms on any exterior door that leads to the pool area or a pool safety fence surrounding the pool. Some even both, we have put together a blog post and video showing you how to use the fence.

Best Orlando Villa We Have Stayed in!
This house was spectacular, it was the best house I’ve ever been to in Orlando personally. I liked it a lot and my family did too. It was a large, beautiful place with all amenities, Diane was always very kind and willing to help with everything you need, the poll was 10/10 and the house was 20/10! Everything is close, I really felt at home and I really enjoyed staying. I was happy with the price, the communication and the stay! It was excellent in everything and I recommend it without hesitation.

10/10! Would highly recommend this villa!
We have just come back from an amazing family holiday staying at Dianes Villas Highlands Reserve villa. Diane was a pleasure to book with from the start, always helpful and quick to respond to any queries we had.
The villa was decorated beautifully, furnished to a high standard and very well equipped; the kitchen was like a home from home allowing us to prepare some wonderful family meals.
The beds are the comfiest we have ever stayed in, the full family slept amazing!
The luxurious and relaxing vibe of the villa was such a pleasure after the fun but long Disney park days! We have 2 young children who loved the heated south facing pool, it was perfect for all the family to enjoy. The towels, floaties for the kids and toys provided were an excellent addition too. The pool area is not overlooked at all, felt very safe and private.
In conclusion 10/10 I would highly recommend Diane’s villas to anyone and would happily stay again
