Ridgewood Lakes | 4 Bed Villa | Private South Facing Pool

We have been staying in villas in Orlando for over 20 years and this was one of our favourites. Really homely with the most comfy master suite bed you can imagine. The pool and spa are perfect as they’re south facing so you can soak up the sun. Booking the villa was simple and Claire is fab at keeping in touch. If you need to contact anyone while there, Dee is lovely. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Amazing stay from start to finish. Your home is lovely and has absolutely everything we could have ever needed. We utilised all of it and had a lovely Easter. Thank-you Darryl and also thank-you to Dee (management company) for all her help with any of my questions (the house was spotless!) We will deffo be back!

After a long 18 months away we managed to get out to the villa, it was great to be back and have some winter sun! We had a few jobs to do... cleaning the fence, pool screens, windows, blinds and carpets. We also had the whole house painted, added new mulch to the front of the villa and upgraded the TV and coffee tables in the lounge and by the pool we had a new fan fitted and replaced the pool cover ready for the winter.... Only the best for our guests!

Our holiday that was planned two years ago was put on hold due to Covid but December 2021 we finally managed to get to America. When we arrived at the villa we were blown away with the WOW factor. The villa was of an exceptionally high standard, comfortable beds, and a great layout for the family. The swimming pool was heated and enjoyed by all. Furniture was new and villa had just been freshly painted so all looking fabulous. The location of the villa was also very impressive with gated security in a well-maintained development. The setting of the villa allowed for long walks within the community area. We would certainly book again this villa - we have booked many villas in Florida in the past ten years but this villa is definitely the number one! When the pandemic is over (hopefully) we intend to book again when travel restrictions become easier. Thank you Claire (Darryl's daughter in law) for making our holiday a special one to remember.

This month we have made some upgrades to the villa. First, we have changed the pool over to salt water from chlorine, it's now much softer on your skin! We have bought new padded cushions for the sun loungers and added an additional two loungers, making 6 in total. All this plus the usual deep clean that we give the home each time we visit! Only the best for our guests!

We absolutely loved our stay at this wonderful villa, as soon as we arrived, we fell in love with it. It was immaculate, clean and welcoming after our long flight from the UK, as soon as we walked through the door, we felt at home. It felt like home from home the whole time we were there, the kids loved the pool and spa, and the games room in the garage. We loved it so much, that as soon as we arrived home, we have already planned our next visit. Highly recommended !!

Just returned from 2 wonderful weeks staying in this lovely villa, it was well maintained and spotlessly clean. I was taken back by how lovely it is..We could not of asked for anything more, the pool is a perfect size and loved the spa. The master bedroom is great with a huge on-suite bathroom. We loved the pool table and e box etc, it had everything you would need for the kids. The Villa was easy to find with the directions given and was a perfect location in a quiet area. It was close enough to the theme parks and local supermarkets and restaurants. If we returned to Florida I would definitely stay at this villa again. Just beautiful.. we did not want to leave!

Yes, we had to call management to sort a couple of things..........& they did, with the minimum of disturbance to us. Quiet area, meant we had plenty of slow, relaxing starts to the day. With the pool/tub being sooooo good, we spent almost every afternoon there, perfect. A fantastic time was had by all!!!!! To the Booth's....lovely villa.

We stayed at this lovely 4 bedroom home for 2 weeks and can honestly say it was perfect! Not only was the house a great size for 6 of us plus 2 young kids but it was also situated in a great location close to local shops, Disney Springs and Disney World. House was very well appointed with plenty of fresh towels (both bath and swimming) and everything you would expect from a modern home. Nice quiet location and fab for early morning runs/walks. We would highly recommend this property especially for families/family groups.

Date of stay: October 2016    Reviewer name: Norton Family, UK

The holiday was great in so many ways but the villa helped to make it special. We knew exactly where to go before we arrived and the procedure on arrival was so easy. We didn't have to go anywhere other than the villa on arrival. The actual villa was stunning in every way, large, spacious, spotlessly clean everywhere it was a joy. My 2 boys loved the games room and the pool was fab. The living area was used the most and we felt like it was a home from home, comfortable, secure, friendly neighbours, in a beautiful location. Supermarkets were only five minutes down the road and really easy to drive to and it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to the parks along the very busy I4. It was nice to get away from it all at nights to relax with the family. Huge recommendation from us to anyone looking for a beautiful villa.

It is with great sadness and tears in my eyes writing this as it means our holiday is at an end. We have had an amazing holiday made all the better by staying in your beautiful villa. I think the problem is it's too lovely and too comfy that we just don't want to leave!!! This is our 3rd villa holiday here (2nd at Ridgewood Lakes) and it's been the best! A bit indulgent for just 2 or us but were worth it! Would not hesitate to book again and would definitely recommend. Thanks once again!

We've had a lovely time at the villa. It's been a great base for the five of us and we have had a great time in the pool, watching movies with the surround sound on and using the gamesroom too. The area is very tranquil and secure - even the security guards are nice! Loads of eateries in the local vicinity too. Top notch and looking forward to a return visit already.

This was our 3rd time staying at Darryl & David's Villa. Our last stay which was March 2014 ("Awesome Stay Once Again") you can also read. This place never disappoints. It has everything you need. This is what we love: Location/Shopping/Restaurants - near our favorite place to shop, "Ross" (and it seems to be one of the best ones and also a Pizza Place "Giovanni's" which has great pizza and the best Philly Cheese Steaks ever (only $6 for a foot long) Community - gated and people are friendly and you feel safe. Activities - We played tennis and my husband and son played golf and we walked every morning. Weather - best weather yet this past March - it was in the 80's for 2 weeks). Pool - nice and large and it faces south, has lots of great loungers and towels and the perfect temperature and nice and private (no one can see in). Also .... Kitchen - has everything you need to cook; Bedding and Linens are great; King size Bed; Lots of bedrooms (4) and bathrooms (3); very clean and tidy and furniture is beautiful; lots of tv's; has gas bbq; couple of bikes to ride; lots of magazines and books to read.

Hi Darryl, Well, here we are at the end of our stay in your superb home, and I have to say, leaving will be difficult. The place is better than we'd dare to hope! From the secure, quiet and beautiful setting, to the high quality bedding and towels, this villa is perfect! We were especially pleased with the pool and spa. On our first night we arrived, tired from a long days travelling, we jumped straight into the pool to cool off. We then settled into the spa, with a little drink, and watched a fabulous lightning storm in the distance. Bliss! We were also grateful for the comprehensive cable TV package provided. It kept us entertained on the lazy evenings after a long days foot-slogging in the park. All in all, it has been a marvelous holiday, and we wouldn't hesitate to use your home again. Thank you so much! Ian, Kirsty, Jasmine & Kane

Having recently stayed at this home i can truly say it was a home away from home just with better weather,a pool and spa. oh and the fun of the US. From arriving after a long day of travel, i was greated with a large relaxing shower and a huge four poster bed that if my case would allow i would have taken in a shot. The home was superb in every aspect from cleanliness to the facilities and feel, real thought had gone into making this home different from others i have stayed in before, it had all the small personal touches you would wish for. Large TV for not only the kids but adults who loves sports with HD on demand. Heated pool and spa at a perfect temperature for my morning swim, to pay off the big meal from the night before. The bikes in the garage tennis rackets for the local courts, toys for the pool and of course air hockey table. It was fantastic in every way and if you hadnt guessed i would recommended it to anyone. I only wish i could have stayed longer or i lived there full time, well role on next spring as i shall be booking up soon, once the credit card has been paid off.

My family and I stayed in this property from March 29th - April 13th 2010.Our first time in a villa as we have stayed in Quality Inn and Enclave Suites along International Drive previous years. I am always slightly apprehensive before we arrive to a rental property. Can it be as nice as the images on the web site ?or has it been allowed to run down since they were taken? We were overwhelmed on arrival by the bright decor, comfortable furnishings and utilities available to us. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard and all linen / towels were good quality. Using the villa's beach towels saved us $25 per day in the waterparks ! The laundry room was a fabulous asset, no suitcases full of dirty washing to bring home! We are a family of 6, so it was a busy villa for the duration. The children always had plenty to occupy themselves, with the games room, pool,TV, tennis courts etc (rackets provided). I am a runner, and the complex had a 1.5m stretch of road running alongside the golf course which was safe (behind security gates)and virtually traffic free. The wildlife was unusual , I saw several snapper turtles crossing the roads on a morning, few armadillos, some lovely birds .On occasion one of the family would cycle out with me using the bikes from the villa.Wonderful start to the day. Everyone is so friendly in Florida in general, and Ridgewood Lakes was no exception. I have no gripes but if I must find a negative. Would have liked some basic cleaning products and bin liners leaving to spruce up after ourselves now and again without having to buy and leave them. Also the sewage system needs managing carefully as the pipes are narrower than in the UK. Not a lot the owners can do about that one. The owners are very good at responding to any emails/queries promptly. Overall, a home from home with added sunshine. Loved the whole villa experience and will be returing, and recommending to our friends.

This villa is amazing.Good location, easy to access of main road and clear signed routes to all parks.Cleaned on our arrival to a very high standard.Everything has been thought of for you to make your stay comfortable and hassle free. We had 4 children and used the laundry area daily. Bedrooms were very comfortable and welcomed after long days in the parks.Full kitchen area, with full utilities. Publix supermarket (like tesco but better) a few miles away. We used to stock up on the way home from parks in the evenings every few days.The pool and jacuzzi are excellent and safe. Tennis courts around the corner, we're fab. Kids loved having tournaments on the air hockey table. They used the bikes to cycle through the complex. Roads are very quiet and safe, great area for runners / power walkers to exercise. Everyone very friendly from neighbours,residents and security staff.The owners have a very informative villa manual, full of useful information. Maps, restaurants , takeaway food and useful telephone numbers. Free local calls from the villa phone. No complaints at all, but beware of the USA sanitary sytems. The drainage pipes are smaller than at home, therefore flush toilets little and often to avoid problems. We will most definitley return to this villa on our next trip to Florida. Thanks David and Darryl

In the 6 years that we have rented a villa in Florida this has got to be the nicest in terms or area and the actual villa. Here are the things we LOVED about this place: - very clean and very modernly decorated - cozy and comfy living room and beds - large screen TV in main room and tv's in each of the bedrooms - pool & spa to relax in and large and private backyard - 4 tennis courts to play on - golf near by - bikes to ride - lots of books and magazines to read - south facing pool and lots of towels - 4 comfortable and beautiful loungers - gas bbq - fully equipped kitchen - quiet, safe, manicured and friendly neighbourhood Really can't say enough about this place. Only thing we could think to add would be a pool table. We hope to be back next year!!!
