Sunridge Woods 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Florida Villa

Upon entering the property we were all so pleased with the presentation and cleanliness of this property and its neighbourhood. A good family base , generous sized rooms and fair sized pool to entertain the kids .....ok and adults too! It felt very much a home from home. A very peaceful location, short journeys to all the known attractions , we will definitely return to continue our US Florida holiday fun!

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.

We stayed in this villa for the 2nd time in september for two weeks. Once again it was absolutely amazing. The decor and cleanliness of the place is to such a high standard and the owners are so lovely! We never have any problems here but if we were to need something, I have no doubt that the owners would go above and beyond to help! We can not wait to come back and stay in this spacious villa again, it really is a little piece of paradise, thankyou!

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. We found Bev to be extremely helpful throughout the booking process and provided us with plenty of information about the area prior to our arrival.

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.

My girlfriend and I decided to book this villa after a recommendation from my sister who had previously stayed in Heron’s Rest. Both the villa and Bev have been fantastic! Bev was incredibly helpful prior to going and whilst out there. The villa was incredibly spacious, well equipped and spotless. It’s location is also ideal - a very short drive from all of the parks yet superbly peaceful and tranquil after a long day! Highly recommended and we can’t wait to return!

We didn't know the area before we went but were the villa is situated is so relaxing, we just sat and watched the wildlife and my husband fished. 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. We didn't want to come home (we WILL have to return)

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 :)

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.

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 :)

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.

Ideal for anyone wanting to explore Florida or do all the theme parks.

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.

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.

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.
