Sunridge Woods 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Florida Villa

WOW! Where to begin! Firstly, Bev the owner was brilliant and was available to answer any questions we had before we arrived and gave recommendations on flights, car hire, restaurants etc. Now the VILLA! What an immaculately, clean and well presented villa. It had everything you need to add luxury to your holiday. Fully furnished kitchen/ diner with all cooking utensils. Spacious living room with very comfy settees & TV with lots of channels to watch. The bedrooms are spacious with very comfy beds and ensuite facilities & air conditioning throughout was lovely. The outside pool is a god send after a long day around the parks & in the morning with a cuppa, watching the wildlife go about their day was wonderful to watch. The villa is in the perfect location for all the parks, within about 30 - 40 mins depending on the traffic. Restaurants within 5 mins too. We had the most amazing time & the villa made it even better for us. It felt like home as soon as we stepped through the door. Would definitely return to Heron's Rest.

Ken & Nicky, thank you for your fab review. You have been booking with me for almost 10 years now and I must say you are both an absolutely pleasure to deal with. Every thing in the villa is left as you found it so I can't thank you enough. Hope to see you back again soon. x

We stayed in Herons Rest for one week in April. The villa was amazing, very well stocked with kitchen utensils and tastefully furnished throughout. Total privacy in the pool area and very pleasant sitting outdoors in the evening with the setting sun. Close proximity to the necessary shops and restaurants. Excellent communication with Bev before and after our stay. We had no issues during our stay. Would love to go back there on our next trip to the area

Thank you very much for your review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay John. Best wishes

We have just returned from our second trip to Herons rest, our first trip was March 2019. Second trip Easter 2023. We don't want to leave a review as we don't want anyone else to know about this amazing villa. Bev is a great host, always available to answer questions and give advice on all things Florida. She is very friendly and couldnt be more happy to help. The villa itself is lovely and clean, a home from home (but with an amazing swimming pool and view of a beautiful lake). It has recently been refurbished. It is well equipped and very comfy. We travelled with 2 children age 7 and 3 who absolutely loved it. It is well situated and close to all the Disney parks. We are already in contact with Bev planning our next trip back. Thank you Bev for sharing your beautiful home with us. We cant wait to return X x x

Michelle, what a lovely review, thank you so much. Glad you liked our refurbishment and you all had a fabulous holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back x

Having been a regular traveller to Orlando and having stayed at a number of different villas in various locations, we can honestly say this villa comes top of our list. Clean, immaculately decorated and well fitted out, the 3 large bedrooms and good sized lounge meant we did not lack for anything. The outside area was all we could wish for with plenty of space, a covered area for when the sun was too strong and a clean pool. View of the lake was restful and meant we spent more time at the villa than anticipated! The only issue that we found was how busy the roads were getting to and from the Disney area and surrounding restaurants etc. As long as patience is used, then travel was easy. Hopefully the end of the roadworks will improve matters. Finally no review would be complete without mentioning the brilliant service we had from the Owner (Bev) - we have dealt with her for a few years now and have absolutely no complaints with the speed of response and helpfulness - when we did have a problem she went the extra mile to resolve to our satisfaction. A highly recommended villa - we return next year !

Andrew, thank you so much for your review. I'm pleased you enjoyed your holiday and that you like our recent refurbishment. Thank you for rebooking for next year, we look forward to welcoming you back.

My husband and I vacationed in this house for 7 weeks and would like to thank you for allowing us to share your home. It is a well maintained property in a quiet neighbourhood where we enjoyed early morning walks. Close to attractions, grocery stores, shopping and restaurants. It is very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well stocked and it was very relaxing sitting in the lanai and pool area overlooking the pond and seeing stunning sunsets. The covered area is wonderful when you need a break from the sun. Bev and the management staff were very easy to deal with. There were a couple of minor issues that were immediately taken care of. We highly recommend this property.

Thank you Stephen, lovely to have you stay again.

We where lucky to be able to book this villa for our christmas vacation and just returned home. We are renting vacation homes in the area for almost 30 years now and this is one of the best homes we ever had. Everything was perfect and in fabulous condition and spotless ! The villa is decorated with taste and be assured you will have a good night sleep as the beds are great. One can tell that the owner is taking very well care of it's property and they love their home and take great pride in going the extra mile. Besides a perfect home, I would love to mention that Bev the owner is simply amazing! She was helpful, very reactive and so kind! It was such a pleisure working with her and we felt welcome from the first moment we talked! And this is so reassuring. And last but not least, location! It's such a lovely piece of land and that little lake behind the home is simply beautiful. You are close to almost everything. We where quiet surprised about the difference in driving distances. So if you look for a lovely, cozy, spotless home close to everything, and still in a quiet location, you have found it! Thank you Bev for making this such a great experience for us! Best Wishes from little Luxemburg and we will be back! Diane and Family

Can't say how impressed we were with everything about this villa. Great, quiet location with scenic lake view and easy access. The villa itself was spotless and well decorated and the pool area was to die for. Ideal for a family, with plenty of pool furniture. Can't begin to recommend it enough. Thanks to the owners for a wonderful stay.

John & Geraldine, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review . I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Herons Rest.

Having been to Florida and rented villas on many occasions over 30years this was by far the best. Location excellent, privacy and quietness amazing. The villa is well equipped and beautifully clean. Having the pool heated gave us an opportunity to swim until we left on the 5the December to come back to a freezing UK. Dealing with Bev the owner made everything run smoothly and was always available to answer any questions. We will be revisiting Florida again and this will be our go to place. Strongly recommend you check this out my husband spend a long time researching and this one has not let us down.

Jackie, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. You & Thomas are welcome back any time!

We have just returned from our 14 night stay at this beautiful and impecably clean villa. There was ample room for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) with a bedroom spare. The villa is surprisingly spacious and the facilities were more than we could have asked for. There is everything you could need and more including beach towels, all kitchen accessories, coffee maker, pool table, ice packs, the list goes on. The swimming pool was a generous size, we had it heated and it was lovely on an evening to relax in after a busy day in the parks. The outdoor area was immaculate and also great for viewing the local wildlife including the herons! The lake out the back is beautiful and the villa is really quite private from the back. Bev provided very detailed directions on how to get to the villa from the airport which was a great help. The villa is in a great location, close to shops and restaurants (about 5 mins drive), 20 mins to Disney and about 30 mins to Universal. Bev has been in close contact with us from when booked the villa to when we arrived back from our holiday. She has been very informative and has provided a quick response to any queries we have had. Excellent service! Hopefully we will return to Florida in the future, and if we do, we will definitely be booking this villa again.

Thank you so much for your review Tracy. You were our first guests since we refurbished last month and are so pleased you liked what we have done and enjoyed your stay. You have been a pleasure to deal with throughout Tracy and hope you can revisit us in the future x

What can I say “ Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ as very keen and regular visitors to Disney we absolutely loved this villa. Perfect right from the start of booking, speedy response to our initial enquiry, comprehensive information details at booking and for arrival, definitely all the information you need. On arrival from the clear and exact directions, the villa exceeded our expectations. As soon as we drove onto the lovely long driveway and opened the door, we felt special, relaxed and cared for. It’s a beautiful quiet location, with wonderful views over a wildlife lake that is not overlooked by other villas. The villa was exceptional, immaculate, and spotless with all the amenities that you need, with appliances, utensils, store cupboard essentials, towels, linen, washing facilities, games room, etc, etc, we couldn’t have asked for more. It is a lovely decorated and spacious villa, great for the 3 of us, with high ceilings which we love and super accessories, in particular the furnishings, our favourite being the large giraffe! This hits a note with us as we love Animal Kingdom. More than enough choice for the televisions and great internet too. Attention to detail is brilliant ! You are close to a great set of road links, I-4, 192, and I mean minutes away, so great for all Theme Parks and the Disney area which is less than 20 minutes away. Shopping is fab too, with Publix, Aldi, Walmart all a short distance away and Champions Gate only a few minutes away for restaurants, we love Miller’s Ale House and highly recommend a visit! We also just loved chilling around the pool, we had excellent weather and the sun is on the pool all day which is great, but there is shade if you want it. We so enjoyed this very special holiday for many reasons, but in particular the welcome we felt and received from Bev the home owner. Brilliant Thank You. We would definitely recommend this villa and have done so already and we will definitely stay here again. As Mickey says ‘ See you real soon’

This spacious three bedroom villa was just perfect for the two of us and everything from the initial contact with Bev to our 15 night stay at Herons Rest was amazing. For us, little things make such a difference...like good quality pots and pans, sharp knives for cooking (weird but true!), starter dishwasher tablets etc. The pool deck is ideal for those who love the Florida sunshine as well as good shade for most of the day for those preferring not to soak up the rays. Very clean villa in excellent order and highly recommended.

We have just had a lovely holiday in this villa. We have stayed on Sunridge Woods numerous times as it is in an ideal location for all local amenities. This villa met our expectations and was clean and comfortable. Loved that the pool was so private and not overlooked at all with amazing views over the lake and regular visits from the sand cranes. Bev provided all information that was needed and was very responsive to any queries we had.

We were recomended to go with Bev from a friend of ours and i can not fault her in anyway. Bev was a great help in organising our villa 18 months ago for our big family adventure in August 2019. The villa was so well equipped, very welcoming situated in the perfect place for our trips to Disney. Bev kept in contact with us and was able to recomend a car hire company, best place to get park tickets, places to eat, shop and visit. The welcome brochure on arrival had everything you needed. Main thing was directions to the park and nearest place to food shop. We will certaily be back again and will be recommending Bev to all our friends and family.

Our 3rd visit to Florida another great villa selected. We are a party of 4 and it was great for us although the villa can accommodate 6 for watching TV and sunbathing it may be a squeeze as only 4 sun loungers and 2 sofas. We note the owners have a larger villa too! All facilities provided. Plenty of wildlife to see look for the pair of red/orange birds, the cranes strolling past you will hear them arrive! The eagles up above, the black snakes passing by or found on your doorstep they are non poisonous. Watching the hot air balloons set off if you are up early! It’s very clean of which is most important we would book again. We commuted via champions gate. Driving here you have to have eyes everywhere there is no fast or slow lanes!!

This was our third stay at the villa and we love it. In fact have already booked it again for next year! The villa is in a lovely location and is in a friendly quiet neighborhood. The villa itself is lovely, clean and comfortable, with everything you need to have a home from home. The pool area is excellent with a lovely area to chill in the shade. The pool is perfect and looks onto the lake which is so relaxing. The herons regularly wander past the villa which is lovely. The games room was a bonus which our boys loved. Bev is lovely and very friendly and easy to book with. The maintenance team are also excellent. Bev leaves a booklet with some pointers, even though we have been to Florida numerous times before it was great to have some local information and recommendations. We can confirm that Miller's at champions Gate was excellent, and you need to try the delicious ice cream at Posner park.

We have just come back from a fantastic week staying in this villa. If you're thinking of booking it, do it quick I couldn't recommend it enough. The villa was spotless on arrival, everything was provided it really was like home from home. The kids really enjoyed the pool and the games room. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of extra bedding and towels if needed. It's close to Disney and only about 25 minutes from Seaworld,aquatica and discovery cove. Bev was so helpful from making the booking up until we left the villa-even trying to help sort out a hire car while we were out there.nothing was any trouble for her. Thanks again for letting us stay here x

We have been staying at Herons Rest for our holidays for years and can honestly say that it truly is one of the best villas we have stayed in. Herons Rest is luxurious, warm and welcoming and perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly wish for. The pool and decking area is south facing with sunshine all day and overlooks a beautiful lake. If you’re patient enough you can see a Gator or two ??. The wildlife is beautiful, particularly the Cranes who graze near the lake. The villa is perfectly situated near to the I4 and theme parks, as well as a huge choice of fabulous bars and restaurants. If you fancy exploring further afield, there are beautiful State Parks to walk or cycle around or even rent a canoe. We are booked up for the next few years. I would highly recommend. Thanks to Bev for all the fabulous memories and here’s to many more. Georgie and Carl x

We have stayed in a number of villas within the area over the last 18 years and can honestly say this is one of the best we have stayed in. Centrally located within a community close to the theme parks, this villa is clean and tidy with all the home comforts. As well as a well equipped kitchen, there is a pool table, air hockey table, games console, Wifi, books, DVDs and a large TV with Netflix. Bev, the owner, is very friendly and helpful, doing everything possibly to ensure we had a lovely stay. We arrived late and Bev was able to organise groceries which was very welcome after a long flight! We had a wonderful holiday at Herons Rest and can't wait to visit again soon!

We had a fantastic holiday in Orlando in December 2018. Bev was amazing, she was so helpful and friendly throughout the booking process and when we arrived we fell in love with the villa instantly. The villa was lovely and cozy, very well decorated and the sofas and beds were so comfy, my husband and I had our 4 month old baby with us and we had everything we needed. The pool was also stunning and a great temperature despite being December, the lake view was lovely. The location is great, with shops resturants and bars close by and none of the main Orlando attractions are more than 25 minutes away. We had such a lovely holiday that we have rebooked with Bev for 2019 and can't wait to return.

Heron's rest is a beautiful peaceful villa located at Sunridge Woods which is near Champions gate. It overlooks a lake which features wading birds, the odd alligator and jumping fish and stunning sunsets. The villa is very well equipped and offers every comfort for anyone wishing to experience the attractions or to just relax and enjoy the lakeside views. The villa has a huge driveway so for a 2 car family this was ideal for us. TVs in every room meant we could all relax at the end of the day watching our favourite programmes. We have stayed at other villas over the years but have to confess Bev the owner goes out of her way to help you with your every need. Her customer service skills are exceptional and nothing is too much trouble for her she is always there for you. The information we were given prior to departure was perfect and we had no problems finding the villa at all as the directions were excellent. Having a safe in the villa was a bonus for us this year and the lovely pool was something we enjoyed everyday. There was a rocket launch whilst we were there and this added to our enjoyment. One of the best holidays we have had and we will certainly return to Heron's rest not only for the wonderful location but also for the peace of mind knowing that you have an excellent management company for any issues. Thank you once again Bev we shall return.

The decor and cleanliness of the place is to such a high standard and the owners are so lovely!

My family & I would highly recommend staying at Heron's Rest. Bev was very helpful and there was plenty of information with regards the area when we arrived. A very well equipped villa with the use of a sat nav if required. The washer and dryer were a godsend and the games room located in the garage was used numerous times. We loved the pool area and it was very private and quiet with just the sounds of the local wildlife to listen to. We often saw the Heron's beside the lake and the odd squirrel too. The surrounding area itself is extremely well kept and peaceful. Championsgate is near too and we often ate there at the various restaurants, especially Millers. Also close to all the Disney Parks and the nearest Supermarket is Publix. We definitely would not hesitate to stay here again on our next visit to Orlando.

Myself and my family have just arrived home after an amazing stay at Heron’s Rest. The villa itself is spacious, comfortable and clean with a beautiful pool which looks out onto a lovely lake. It’s set on a corner plot, so you are not overlooked at all. Every night we enjoyed sitting out by the pool with a glass of wine and watching the gorgeous sunsets. It was so peaceful and the only thing you could hear when sitting out was the delightful sounds of the local wildlife. We did a lot of self catering so was pleased that the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable as were the sofas. There were plenty of towels and it was very convenient having the washing machine and tumble dryer in the garage. The kids also loved the air hockey and pool table. We were pleased to see that a Sat Nat was provided as we used a few times when heading out a bit further afield. The villa is situated in a great location, only 25 minutes from all the parks and shopping outlets and just 35 minutes from the airport. Restaurants and supermarkets are only 5 minutes away. We were at Publix a lot! Time went by so quickly and after a few days it really did feel like a home from home. We definitely hope to visit again in the future. I would also like to add that Bev is a fantastic host. She is very welcoming, and any queries were responded to immediately.

Stayed at Bevs lovely villa last 2 weeks in June. House is very clean and everything you require is available. Furnishings are clean and comfortable and plenty of towels as well. The pool is fantastic and the lanai gives so much privacy and space. We probably spent the majority of the time out here with the gorgeous lake view. Bev was very helpful and responsive to all my questions and could not find any fault whatsoever in the whole process. If i get back any time soon i would definately book here again .

We have stayed in a number of Florida properties, this villa by far is the best. Situated in a quiet, secluded, estate overlooking a lake this property offers guests a peaceful and tranquil holiday. The villa was spotlessly clean and equipped to a very high standard. With restaurants, supermarkets and parks within easy reach it’s location is suitable for families of all ages.

Our 5th visit to Orlando but our 1st to Herons Rest. Bev was very helpful and great to deal with, before, during and after our visit. The villa is ideally placed for visiting all the attractions. It’s also in a fantastic position for lazing by the pool or fishing in the lake. The villa has everything you need well equipped with hairdryers, straighteners and plenty of bathroom & pool towels. There was also enough utensils/kitchenware, not that we did too much cooking. We would not hesitate to recommend Herons Rest to couples or families for an amazing holiday

We have been travelling to Florida for many years and have stayed in numerous Villa's over the period. Without question, this is our favourite. The villa is conveniently located with easy access to the I4, local amenities, Disney and Universal Studios theme parks, not to mention beautiful state parks. The villa is luxurious in every respect, the pool area is South facing with sun all day with a covered area. The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The range of kitchen utensils for example, is excellent. Bev really has thought of everything with things like hairdryers and straighteners. We always make excellent use of the Pool and air hockey table. Its great fun to listen to some music and shoot some pool with a beverage or two. We are booked up to stay for the next few years and will continue to do so indefinitely. Thank you for yet another fabulous stay Bev. It gets harder and harder to leave every time we visit.

The villa is beautiful has everything you need and Bev couldn't have been more helpful, so much so that we would return in a heartbeat. There are restaurants bars and shops within a short drive also, the Disney parks aren't to far away either. If you want to do a villa this one is a must. Thank you to Bev for a wonderful stay.

Second visit this year, only one month this time! This says it all!!!! Hoping to visit again next year if it is still available. Villa is well situated for whatever you want to do on your holiday..convenient for theme parks, retail outlets or nature reserves. It is on an exceptionally quiet estate, and the view of the small lake from the lanai is both peaceful and relaxing. Villa was well maintained, very clean and well supplied with linen. All in all a great villa and a great holiday!

Saw this villa and reviews on VR360 Homes and immediately contacted the owner Bev. Excellent communication between both parties with accurate local information and directions ensuring an easy transition to the Villa. The Villa did not disappoint at all, beautiful and clean with all the amenities you could wish for (had a welcome pack on arrival). Of course the pool area and games room was the kids favourite and used quite often. The villa was set in a stunning and quiet location. We took time out to walk around the estate and see the other villas decorated for Halloween. Excellently located with short drives to all the Disney Parks. Can't thank Bev enough for allowing us to stay at this beautiful Villa and would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

This is our 3rd time staying at Heron’s Rest, and again we weren’t disappointed. It was everything as we had remembered, the house is well looked after throughout. The pool is an added bonus, with an excellent seating area which has the added bonus of being undercover, which came in handy when a big storm set in and we could still sit outside. The house isn’t too far from Disney World so came in handy after a long day at the parks, water parks and shopping centres. We absolutely love this property, and everything it has to offer, we cannot wait to return again.

Herons Rest is a perfect Villa in a great location, it was a great base for us for our 3 week stay. It's located 5 minutes from the main i 4 motorway & close to all major attractions. We are a family of four and had ample room, the kids loved the pool and spent hours playing in it, the games room also comes in handy. Kitchen facilities are excellent and has everything you need. If you do get time to watch TV there are plenty of channels to watch and picture quality is very good. Air con is brilliant and works perfectly. The owner Bev was fantastic to deal with and nothing was too much trouble, even the daft questions I asked her from time to time! Bev would always reply to my email questions very quickly. I can highly recommend staying at the Villa as it has everything needed and was spotlessly clean, tidy and extremely comfortable.

This is the second time we have rented from Bev and we were not disappointed. Information prior to arrival was excellent, very clear instructions even if you haven't been to Orlando before. Champions gate is one of the best areas we have stayed in and we have been coming to Orlando and Florida for 17 years. The villa itself made you feel comfortable from the first time you walked through the door with everything there that you could wish for. The highlight has to be the pool area, spotlessly clean, very private and a lovely view over a small lake. If you have children they will be thrilled with the games room, even us oldies played pool and air hockey. A wonderful relaxing stay even though the weather wasn't kind to us we took the opportunity to chill out with a glass of wine and a cooked meal. Would certainly recommend and hope to come back.

We booked this Villa because it was by far the nicest one we could find online, when we arrived it looked even better than the pictures! It was extremely clean and comfortable, we felt right at home as it was equipped with everything we could possible need. The villa was very spacious and the area we were staying in was lovely, quiet and relaxing.. just what you want after a long, busy day at the parks! Every room was immaculate and we LOVED the theming in the living room (we're animal obsessed) ha We enjoyed sitting out by the pool on a night and watching all of the wildlife go by, we saw an alligator, tortoises and turtles, an otter, an armadillo and huge birds! Everything about our stay here was perfect, we were a 20-30 minute drive away from all the parks, and had lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Our contact with Bev was Excellent, she always replied straight away answering any questions we had and was very helpful. This was our 5th time to Florida and by the the best, we didn't want to leave one bit and will 100% be booking again in the future. Thanks again Bev! Kieran, Philippa, Tom :)

Had a lovely stay in this great villa, very comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need . Beautifully decorated and the swimming pool had a lovely outlook over the lake and was very private. Bev sent us plenty of info and instructions which made it was very easy to find. Being with a teenager we enjoyed the games in the garage and the wi-fi was fab. Would recommend without hesitation and would love to return.

We're loathe to write a review as selfishly we would want to keep this property a secret. What a pleasure to book a villa that's so clean and well maintained. The setting is ideal- very quiet, peaceful and easily accessed by car and convenient for shopping , theme parks etc. The villa was equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and for us, what was best about it was the privacy and tranquility. Information given prior to travelling was comprehensive and the owner's communications with us were always prompt and helpful. We loved our stay and will definitely return!

My wife and I have had holidays in Florida many times over past 17 years, initially with our children and grandchildren and latterly just the two of us. Our most recent stay (Sept 16) at Herons rest was possibly the best we've both enjoyed. For a small party the property is nigh on perfect. Perfect location, sensational sunsets and utter privacy. I'd be surprised if this is the only time we stay there!

What can I say about this villa well it helped ensure that my family had a great holiday in Florida - right from the minute of booking everything went smoothly, information was both accurate and sufficient and was available on a timely basis - e.g. details of the villa; directions from the airport to the villa; local amenities (supermarkets, restaurants etc). It was very clean and comfortable, well maintained and really well' kitted' out in every aspect. There actually wasn't anything we didn't like about the villa. It really helped to make our holiday complete - and we always feeling at ease and secure in it. We would definitely go back again as we had a great time in it !!!

Hi Bev, a note to say thanks. Your villa was amazing and a real joy to stay in. A lovely spacious layout and great pool. You must have one of the nicest plots on the property, as it's very peaceful with lovely views over the lake. Everything about it was perfect and it was a surprising and nice touch to have the sat nav available for us in the villa. Thanks again.

We have just returned from staying two weeks at this perfect home from home. The villa is spotlessly clean and well presented, and exceptionally well equipped. It looks exactly like in the pictures... amazing!!! The location is ideal - quiet yet within a few minutes drive of shops, supermarkets and restaurants, and with quick access to Hwy 27 and the I-4 for venturing further afield. The large (and very private) pool deck is fantastic, and the covered area provides a respite from the sun when needed. The view of the lake is stunning, and we never tired of watching the array of wildlife (which even prompted a binoculars purchase lol). We can highly recommend this villa, and will stay here again on our next visit if available. Nothing was too much trouble for Bev.

The villa was easy to find and set in a peaceful location with very friendly neighbours . The villa was spotlessly clean and looked exactly like it does in the photos and with the pool heating we were able to enjoy swimming everyday in what we have been told was the coldest February in a decade. The pool is also a great size for swimming with plenty of deck space around to lounge or eat. The villa was fully equipped and we had a great 4 week break there. We are definitely thinking of booking this villa again next year.

From the second we pulled up on the driveway to the second we pulled away from it, its been amazing. The villa is stunning in both decor and location a real home away from home and we felt at home right away. Its set out beautifully. The massive pool deck is brilliant for enjoying the pool and a nice relax around it. Me and my brother enjoyed the lake alot of fishing catching alot of fish. Bev is an amazing owner and nothing is to much trouble for her. The one downside.. we have to go home!! Thinking of booking?? Then do it you wont regret it.

We love this villa, it's everything you want from a home to home holiday! The Villa is laid out well, spacious and relaxing! I loved the pool, and the view out to the lake, and I liked that the pool was not over looked and still retained an element of being private. We were here for just short of 3 weeks, and again they were brilliant. The villa is in a good location for the store/restaurants/theme parks and malls. We cannot fault the villa, and cannot wait to come back! Thanks again :)

Would like to thank Bev for the most amazing stay in this spectacular villa! We made the best holiday memories on this holiday and the villa was all part of that. My 4 year old daughter cried to home because she wanted to live in the villa and be able to go in the amazing pool everyday (she turned into a mermaid during our stay). We cannot wait to return for another amazing stay! Thanks again Bev

Dear Bev , Once again we had a fantastic time in one of your Rental Villas, thank you. It had everything you could wish for and more and was very clean and tidy. This as our second visit to Florida and we enjoyed every minute of it although exhausting some days we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had some great meals at Chillies, Millers Orlando Ale House, Bahama Breeze and many more, the food was always great and plenty of it. We did Universal both Islands of Adventure and the Studios and had a fabulous time. We went to the coast this time down to Clearwater and although it was so hot we had a great day at the beach. Once again Bev thank you so much for letting us rent one of your Villas again, I would to both Family and Friends they are perfect.

My sons and I travelled around a part of Florida for 3 weeks in July/August of 2015 and stayed at Heron’s Rest for a week. After the hotels, the villa was a true home away from home. Very clean, private and welcoming. We arrived on a Sunday and although I knew about the Florida pool alarm, I had no idea how to turn it off. Didn’t really want to have to call the management on a Sunday but I had 2 kids that couldn’t wait to get into the pool! A quick call and we were sorted. Even though it was Sunday I didn’t feel I was intruding which was a relief. Many thanks to Bev for the kind communication and the swift and correct handling when making the reservation as well as the return of the deposit afterwards. The kids and I had a holiday of a lifetime!

Really nice villa that has been refurbished to a high standard. Good sized pool with spacious lanai and plenty of room for 6 guests. We've stayed at Sunridge Woods a number of times and this property is really good quality - in some ways the photos don't do it justice. Ideal for anyone wanting to explore Florida or do all the theme parks.

Just spent three superb weeks at this very we'll appointed villa, everything you need, close to all attraction parks, loads of golf courses, shopping malls and places to eat to suit all budgets. The villa was very modern with all accessories required. We recommend you just bring yourselves and leave plenty of room in your suit cases for all the great bargains to be had, in short we loved this villa & location hope to be back soon, loved it

What can I say about this villa which hasn't already been said on previous reviews..... Brilliant place to settle down for a few weeks (or more) :). The place is brilliant. Home from a home. Location is very nice, having a pool which is not overlooked is a great benefit. View across lake is perfect, especially during sunset. Had such a relaxing time I didn't want to leave. Can't wait to go back

We are all now safely home. I wanted to thank you for letting us have the use of your lovely vacation home. We have stayed in Florida on a number of occasions and have stayed in villas for all but one when we stayed in a condo. The villas we have stayed in have all been comparable in price to yours however that's where the comparisons end. We have just enjoyed our BEST trip to Florida and that was down to the fact that your villa was so nice and comfortable and the communication and ease of dealing with yourself. Also helped having such a picturesque location next to the lake(nothing to do with the fact both my son and myself enjoy fishing!). We were at the lake daily fishing and caught some strange looking fish and some very snappy turtles. No animals were hurt in the making of this email they all went back safely. Once again a HUGE THANK YOU from Susan,Nadine,Dylan,Stuart and myself for helping us to have such a great vacation,oops I mean holiday!

We had a perfect vacation at Herons Rest. The home is beautiful, very clean, very quiet and safe neighborhood. Wonderful pool with screened lanai and a great view of the pond in the back yard. The pool area is very secluded with no neighbors to hear or see. The pond is alive with fish and birds, not a stagnant wetland. We had daily visits by a pair of Sandhills Cranes. Close to Disney, 20 minutes. Close to shopping, 5 minutes. Very comfortable beds, and more beach towels than the Marriott! Wifi, Wii, pool table, air hockey, fishing poles, laundry center. Well equipped kitchen. I hate to give it a 10 for fear of having it already booked when next we return, but a 10 it is.

Fabulously furnished property in quiet area not overlooked. The pool area is superb and the whole property is tastefully decorated throughout with everything you need to make you feel at home. Ideally located for Disney parks and Universal about 20 mins drive. Bev has been most helpful from day 1. Go ahead and BOOK you won't regret it!

This was our first visit to Orlando and the villa was fantastic! The location was perfect for Disney and Universal and it was situated on a beautiful, quiet community. It really was a home from home, every detail was thought of. My only complaint is that we had to leave it when the holiday was over!

Date of stay: March 2013    Reviewer name: Rosenfield family, Manchester, England

After 20 years of vacationing in Orlando I think we have found the Perfect villa. The owners have recently purchased and upgraded the villa and it shows. Everything looks and feels new, from the carpets, flat screen TVs, and bedding right down to simple things like quality crockery and utensils. It certainly feels like no expense has been spared. Outside the pool is immaculate and the deck is oversized, but our favourite addition is a private lanai area which is perfect for shade from the sun. The villa is very private and the pool area offers a lovely view over the private lake.

We loved staying at this very tastefully furnished home in a quiet residential area. The house is on a large corner plot and the large south facing deck and pool are not overlooked by any other property. The deck gets sun from early morning until late with beautiful sunsets over the small lake which is home to pairs of Grey Herons. It is easily accessible from Interstate 4 with local shops only a few minutes away and all of the Disney attractions can be reached within 15 - 20 minutes. We would have no hesitation in recommending this house to other families and hope to return soon.

We really enjoyed our stay in Herons Rest, a spacious villa and pool in quiet location overlooking a lake, fully equipped to a high standard and beautifully decorated. Good info, easy to find, spotlessly clean and the 3bed layout with 1 bedroom on one side and 2 on the other side is ideal for either 2 couples sharing or a family with children. Easy access to Orlando and Kissimmee and good restaurants - Applebees, Chilis, Bahama Breeze. Excellent value for money. We would highly recommend this villa.
