My family stayed at Derek and Julie's place last week. We gathered to visit with my cousin, aunt and uncle. They visited Epcot one day on their own; it's close enough to drive to. We cooked in the kitchen. The hot tub and pool were nice and worked great. Used the game room one afternoon as well with my sister and dad. From the hot tub we saw fireworks in the distance. Great place to visit again and recommended.

This home was perfect for a week stay for my husband, daughter, son-in-law and 3 grandsons ages 3, 10 and 14. My husband and I claimed the master suite on the first floor and they had the entire upper level which worked out very well. The house was exactly as described in the listing, fully equipped, and in perfect working condition upon arrival. We took full advantage of the pool, hot tub and garage game room. My oldest grandson is an avid fisherman so the lake front location was particularly important to us. Both he and his 10 year old brother caught several large large mouth bass as well as many smaller ones. The location was convenient to shopping, restaurants and all the Disney Parks. We spent several days in the parks and enjoyed the quiet location and house amenities during our off days from the Disney mania. One thing I especially appreciated was the prompt and friendly communication from the owners Derek and Julie. I had a few questions prior to our stay and they were always promptly responded to. We received a welcome call from Julie the day after we arrived to make sure that everything was okay. By the end of our stay I felt like we were old friends. I would highly recommend this rental, and would definitely rent it again.

Derek and Julie were a pleasure to work with from the time we booked and all through out our stay. Their home was everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Florida. We came down for the AAU Nationals volleyball tournament and it was so nice to come back to a house and swim in our own pool rather than be stuck in a hotel . Our four girls and my mother in law all had their own space and the kids LOVED the game area and learned how to play pool, foosball and air hockey! We will definitely book with Derek and Julie again in the future! Thanks again!

The villa is in a perfect location and the views towards the back of the property are stunning it was the perfect retreat after a long day at the Disney parks to come back and relax around the pool and get the added bonus of being able to see the fireworks go off in the evening, would definitely recommend this villa to family and friends.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this vacation rental. It was wonderful. The pool was divine and the view amazing. We loved the fountain and the view of the fireworks. The house was very clean. No dirt or bugs detected. There was plenty of towels and the homeowners thought of everything. The neighborhood was safe and secure. We've rented several homes in the area and we were most impressed with this one.

We enjoyed this nice home with private pool and hot tub. It only took a few minutes to get to Disney parks each day. We even saw fireworks from the back yard one night. Overall, I would recommend this house!

We have just arrived back home from our absolutely amazing time in Florida and definitely one of the main reasons was this fantastic luxurious villa we stayed in for three weeks. To begin with all the communications/queries with the owners Derek and Julie were dealt with extremely promptly and both of them were helpful and accommodating. We were emailed directions to the villa a week beforehand and were also provided with a 'Welcome Handbook' on arrival at the villa covering everything from instructions how to use appliances and technology, suggestions of places to go and even a short cut to Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park which is surprisingly is only a short distance away. Julie rang us the day after we arrived to check we had settled in. She also rang when the unexpected news of Hurricane Matthew happened which for us was very reassuring. Both Julie and Derek were extremely kind, helpful and very accommodating with regards to this unexpected news and for this we feel they went above and beyond what we would have expected. This made it as stress free as possible considering the forecast of Hurricane Matthew. We must also say Keith, from the property management team who helps run the villa on behalf of Derek and Julie, was also very good during our stay there and especially with advice about the hurricane. With Derek, Julie and Keith they couldn't have done more to help us and provided excellent service from start to finish, which was the best we have ever received. The villa certainly has the WOW factor. The villa inside was very comfortable and had everything you possibly could have wanted. The furnishings were of a high standard. There was also plenty of linen and towels provided. The main feature that definitely was the jewel in the crown was the pool, spa, outside pool area and the most amazing views of the lake at the back we have ever experienced whilst on vacation. We could have stayed forever in the spa/pool area looking at the view of the lake and fountain as it was simply breathtaking. It was also a perfect way to end your busy days at a theme park, relaxing in the pool or spa at night with the fireworks from Disney at a distance. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Location was very good and very close to all the Disney parks/areas, shops and restaurants. It also had easy access to the 192 and I4 for all the other attractions like Universal, Sea World and International Drive. Definitely would recommend.

Our family loved our stay in Derek's home. The home was exactly as it was described. It was very clean and everything was in working order. Clear directions were given for all of the technology and appliances. Derek checked in on us soon after we arrived to make sure we were settled and comfortable. Our teenage children thoroughly enjoyed the game room. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped. The open floor plan allowed for all of us to interact when we wanted to do so, but the beautiful bedrooms allowed each child their own space when needed. The Master Bedroom was very spacious with a large Master Bath. There were plenty of linens provided in all areas of the house. The crowning jewel was the pool that looked out on the beautiful lake. We spent most of our daytime hours at the Disney parks, but our family started and ended each day in the beautiful pool and hot tub. It was a great place for us to plan our exciting adventures for the day, and then to recap each magical moment as the moonlight shone on the lake. One evening, we watched a fireworks display from the pool! There were plenty of restaurants and shops close by. We were delighted to find a Publix and a Walgreens nearby for picking up food items for the week. The house was truly 5 minutes to the Magic Kingdom and Disney Parks. I would recommend this house to anyone. Without a doubt, we would stay here again.

We had an excellent experience at lake View!!!! The house is very comfortable, well equipped and the heated hot tub was the best for relaxing after long days walking in the theme parks. Kids enjoy the pool, the game room and XBox in their room. Probably they would have love to stay in home all day!!!! The owner very helpful as well. great experience!!!!

We stayed in this home for a week while in the area with our two kids (9 and 11). The home was beautiful. Very clean, lots of room... we couldn't have asked for a more perfect home away from home! I'm not sure why we ever stayed in a hotel with rentals like this. The kids would have been just as happy to stay here and swim in the pool/hot tub than go to Disney (some days). When not in the pool or Disney we played toss outside or enjoyed the game room (the kids now love to play pool). Everyone was very easy to work. We highly recommend this home!

We had a great time at Derek and Julie's home. The pool and hottub were perfect (the awesome weather helped!), fantastic view, and the house was very clean and had everything we needed, including crib and highchair, pool toys, etc. We made use of the games room as well, the kids had fun! Derek or Julie replied to emails quickly for a couple of questions we had during our stay, and also phoned to check in with us. There were instructions left that gave details of most things we needed to know. Although there wasn't too much within walking distance, it was a quick drive to Disney, as well as grocery stores and other shopping, restaurants, mini golf, etc. It was a great stay, we would love to go again!

For our first visit to Disney (with a 3 and 5 year old), we are so glad that we opted to stay off the property and at your lovely home. Everything was in tip top shape when we arrived. Even though the temps were low for the Floridians, we swam everyday in the pool and the hot tub soothed our aching muscles after a long day at the parks. Working with Derek was so simple- and he provided us with very clear directions for everything we needed during our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to return!

y husband and children just got back from our Disney vacation at Derek and Julie's home. We had a fantastic time there, the house and pool were both very clean. We had a blast using the pool after coming back from the parks and enjoyed the relaxing hot tub as well. Derek was great at providing detailed instructions upon arrival. The house was located closely to all the parks we went to (Sea World, Universal and Magic Kingdom). I would stay at this home again!!

efore we set off we were given very clear instructions on how to enter the house and turn off the alarm system which was very easy for tired weary travelers.On entering the villa the fist impression is fantastic a real home from home with a welcome bottle of wine and a note from Derek and Julie which was really appreciated. We certainly could not fault the villa at all great entertainment facilities (games, Game room and TV)and very clean and tidy throughout and very quiet and relaxing on an evening after the busy days at the parks!Fantastic pool area very clean and a great spa.Great customer service from Derek and Julie, we would definitely come back again and would recommend to friends and family.

We loved this home and location. Floor plan worked well with family. The pool area is beautiful. Actually, we enjoyed being there so much that it was hard to leave during the day for activities! We have already booked for next year and cannot wait.

This was our first ever booking with HomeAway/VRBO and we were immediately drawn by the description, photos and other reviews on the site for Lakeview House. We decided to go for it (a family of 3 adults, 2 children) and the booking process was seamless - Derek, the owner, was in constant touch and with very useful information ahead of arrival. Although our flight from the UK had a bit of a glitch (meaning we arrived in the dead of night) we found the place without issue. There is always a nagging doubt with 'owner direct' type sites that pictures can be taken to flatter, or camera angles used to conceal. However, this is completely without warrant in this case and I can categorically guarantee that what you see in the pictures is absolutely what you get in real life! Think that wonderful vista over the lake behind Mickey and Minnie framing the fountain is an illusion? Absolutely not, it's that fantastic. Think the pictures of the pool and spa look too good to be true? Well believe it, we enjoyed them to the full. Games room really that capable? Oh yes, my son and I enjoyed the pool table and the air hockey immensely. This villa was perfect, and as travellers a long way from home, it was a joy to stay in. Location was excellent - to the west end of the '192' so great for driving to the parks and in a quiet and tidy residential street. As there is no-one immediately to the right of this villa (there's a small 'inlet' from the lake) there is a 'semi-detached' feel to it which adds to the sense of open-ness and space when out the back. Facilities were superb, kitchen well appointed, TVs everywhere. Missing 'ice hockey' pucks were spotted before we arrived and dealt with proactively - this villa is clearly well managed and Derek gave us a ring mid-stay to check everything was ok. Beds were comfy and air con and fans meant the villa was always a welcome and refreshing haven at the end of tough day in the parks. It was an intense two weeks for us as a family, as we were doing the Disney and Universal 'thing' to the max but the villa was everything we hoped for and more. We whole-heartedly recommend this villa either as a base for doing the Orlando 'Madness' or simply as somewhere to stay 24/7 and soak up the sun quietly. We will certainly return, God-willing, and if you're reading this and tempted to book, go ahead and bon vacances! Thanks you Derek and Julie for sharing your home with us.
