Windwood Bay 5 Bed 4 Bath Villa Mins from Disney World

We had an amazing time in Florida, in large due to this lovely villa. Roy was timely with information dumps and communications prior to our stay and finding the place was no problem with Google Maps heading to the address easily. Well appointed with all the space, accessories and amenities you could hope for! We used the pool regularly and played many games of pool & air hockey. I was particularly pleased to see Roku media devices attached to each TV! Thanks for everything and please also pass our thanks to Elaine, who was a great help while we were there, making sure everything was clean and ready for us to have a fantastic stay while being available for any queries. We're sure to return (Florida gets under your skin) and I think the family would be super happy to stay in your awesome house again One suggestion from me would be to consider fitting electric plug points with integrated USB ports - it's a relatively easy win that would benefit guests and not add the risk of providing USB chargers that might go missing??

Tank you for your kind review and so please you enjoyed your stay. We are going to our home 4/5 2023 and shall be installing power points with charging USB sockets

This beautiful and well equipped villa was perfect for our group. Everything was exactly as in the photos and descriptions. It was easy to find from the very useful instructions and information from Roy. The location was perfect for getting to Disney parks and the area was quiet. The pool and jacuzzi were fantastic and a perfect way to relax after the crowds and heat of Disney. We couldn't keep the grandchildren out, they loved it. We only had one minor problem and the local property management team were very quick to respond and help us out. Special thanks to Roy for being so accommodating when we had to keep rebooking due to Covid. We all thoroughly recommend this villa to anyone.

Thank you for you kind words

It was our first time using VR360. We have always used HomeAway due to the payment protection backing. So understandably we were cautious on booking direct with the owner without the usual booking guarantees other sites provided. I called the owner Roy on a few occasions to discuss how the booking and payment works, and made some correspondence via Email. Roy was always quick at responding and always took the time to take my calls. With the confidence gained, i booked. I'm pleased to say everything was 100% as described and discussed. The Villa is beautiful and was super clean too. The location is perfect. Far enough to escape the theme park traffic but close enough to make an easy drive the next day. There are great places to eat, drink and get groceries just a few mins drive. Tampa Busch Gardens was just 50 mins drive disney and Universal 20 - 30 mins depending on traffic. My teenage sons loved the pool / table tennis / air hockey and pool table. The odd evening we stayed in, we found all kitchen amenities we needed. The bedrooms are a great size and the beds were super comfy. Tons of towels provided with washing / drying facilities too. The pool was lovely and warm and well maintained For anyone concerned about using VR360 for the first time. I hope this helps. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a 1st class home coupled with an owner who cares about the service he provided and does give 1st class customer service too. A perfect 2019 holiday for us. Thanks again Roy. Its been amazing.

Thank you very much for your review, for which is very much appreciated

A lovely stay at this family style home, the house was really clean and tidy upon arrival. The house has a good sized pool and backs onto greenery which was nice. The owners of the house were very helpful to us, especially when we realised we had left lost property behind! It was quickly retreived and returned to us. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

Thank you for your review of our home, which is very appreciated

From the moment we booked the Villa there was nothing of too much trouble for Roy. He provided lots of tips and was always helpful with any questions. The villa was lovely, spacious and had plenty of room for the family. It was spotlessly clean and when we had a question on the alarm the maintenance company was around within an hour to help us - you cannot beat that service, The pool area was amazing, really peaceful and not overlooked at all. Staying in June/July we did not need pool heating. The villa is so close to the parks and you are on the highway within 2 minutes, a really good location that was perfect for our needs. It was nice to have a game of pool in the evenings, and the entertainment system had all the channels you would ever need. This is clearly a family second home, and the homely feel you get when you visit shows this. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone, we are hoping to go back after COVID and will definately be contacting Roy for our booking.

Thank you for this review of my home, it's very much appreciated

Myself and my family (husband and three kids, aged 13 and 11) stayed in this villa from the 12th -26th October 2018. The villa was immaculately presented and spotlessly clean on arrival. The place is massive!! It had way more bedrooms than we needed, however, having spent a week in a Disney hotel beforehand, it was great to have enough room for us all to find our own bit of free space to relax with some peace and quiet. The pool and spa, especially with the heating, was fabulous for a relax and a swim before heading to, or after returning from the parks. The kids loved it and were in it at every opportunity. The pool table upstairs was also a firm favourite, as was the table tennis and air hockey table in the garage. There was ample plates, cutlery, cups, utensils etc. to be able to eat and cook in the villa (not that we did as we ate out every day), and there was plenty of bath, hand and dish towels provided. The location was great as the surrounding area was very quiet, but it was only a two minute drive to champions gate where there was a publix, walgreens and numerous places to eat. It was an easy fifteen minute drive up the I4 to Disney, with Universal being twenty to thirty minutes away (depending on the traffic). We rented a villa on our last disney trip and thought it was amazing......this one was better, in every way. All in all, it was a fantastic holiday and the villa played a big part in it. If I was to return to Disney I wouldn't hesitate to book this villa again and would definitely recommend it to others.

We work hard at keeping our Florida home nice, my immediate family (two son's with their families), my wife and I have our holiday's at the villa. When receiving wonderful reviews such as this it makes it so much easier to maintain our home. Many thanks to the Lawrence family.

We stayed for 2.5 weeks in Sept/Oct and had the best time, having visited Florida numerous times we all agreed that this was one of, if not the best villa. The location is spot on with easy access to the I4. The villa itself was clean with lots of space, a games room with pool table and a great heated pool. Windwood bay is a quiet estate and we would not hesitate in staying here again. Roy makes the whole booking process very easy...Thanks and hopefully we will stay here again.

Thank you for these kind words. We need this feed back to making sure we stay on track to provide a vacation home to expectations

From the moment I booked it, Roy was so helpful. Directions to his Villa was spot on. He also advised us of where to eat and also avoid. The Villa was stunning and although it was hot we still had the pool heat on, which was like walking into a hot bath. The air conditioning was great and so was the pool table which we used frequently. All in all I would highly recommend. Thanks for a lovely time.

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review. It's so pleasing to know you enjoyed your stay at my home.

The information provided prior to departure was very good and we found the villa easily. It was clean and ready for us. We were impressed with this villa especially the standard of the decoration and furnishings. The reasons we selected this villa was its location in an area we knew and it had 3 en-suite bedrooms which suited our needs. The kitchen was well equipped.We especially liked the covered outdoor area with the pool and hot tub. We would recommend this property and hope to visit it again in the future.

Really do appreciate receiving reviews, particularly when the family have enjoyed their stay in our home. We believe the villa is a true representation of a Luxury Executive villa and receiving these nice comments makes it that much easier too maintain the standard. Our thanks to the Constable family and hope to see you all again in the future

Home was absolutely perfect for all of our needs, 4 adults, 4 teenager's and a 9 year old. There was plenty of space so no-one was on top of eachother, bedrooms spacious and beds so comfortable after the long days. The pool, pool table and activities in the garage allowed everyone time to chill when we got back to the villa after the long park days. Home owner provided really easy to follow driving instructions to the villa and location meant plenty of places to eat nearby. Would thoroughly recommend this villa to everyone.

Thank you for your review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay at my Florida home

This is about the 10th time we have stayed in an Orlando villa over the years and would put this in the top 3. The pool is great and not overlooked. We even had a bit of a wildlife show on a couple of occasions. The villa facilities were very good and with air hockey/pool table and table tennis on tap. This is definitely somewhere we will be recommending to our friends.

Family vacation for two weeks in Florida......Grandparents taking their kids & their families on vacation!!, 2 x grandparents...1 family - 2 parents and two boys under 6yrs ...and other family 2 parents and 1 boy 3yrs. After an 8 hr flight was worried about distance to villa and how the villa would be!! should not have worried....owners info details sent before we left was spot on! easy travelling distance from airport (with 3 cars!!!) we all arrived at the villa situated at end of a quiet cul-de-sac... brilliant start to vacation!!! The villa.... having five bedrooms was a minimum for us AND having 3 ensuites to all the double bed bedrooms was excellent. Each couple had their own double bed with own ensuite!! and the boys in twin bedded rooms shared a bathroom between them. Thank you for not having kids themed bedrooms!!! Rooms felt like home and not toy town! The Master bedroom is massive with walk in wardrobe room and large bathroom. We had bedroom downstairs (good layout of house meant the parents could be near to their kids!!) It takes a long time to search for this ideal layout but worked so well. Pool table on landing for a quiet time. So upstairs ideal and well laid out. Downstairs...entrance into large lounge with large dining table...used this as the !quiet zone"...reading room/paper play/Lego building!!!. This was a great retreat area and much used. Kitchen worked easy and kids on high chairs at high breakfast bar was a great way to start day! Games room in garage ..very useful on "pool days" - days to relax after parks/days out. Did I say relax!!!!...between games room and outside pool there was no relaxing with the boys!!! The pool area was most welcoming area .... after day out ..straight into pool! Days in....in the pool before breakfast...and then most of the day!!! The lanai area was large and necessary to get some shade and the access from kitchen/dining area was very useful. There was also a bathroom door from lanai (the bathroom of downstairs double bedroom). This meant no wet floors to slip on in kitchen!! Also for non pool people there was a downstairs bathroom as well! Plenty of parking space. Plenty of villa space. And the support of maintenance people nearby ensured a smooth arrival and any queries that we had. This villa was ideal for our needs...and when you want a place to stay at ..that contributes to the great memories of your vacation... this place hit it perfectly for us. Great support from owner.....everything we wanted for this vacation was more than matched with the villa and the owners. Much appreciated and will definitely recommend and use again (but without the kids!!!) .

Our family has spent the past three winters in this lovely home. It is very spacious and well laid out for a large family or families. The home is well cared for in and out. The pool is amazing. The pictures do the home justice. The owner and management are easy to reach and accommodating. We would recommend this home for your family stay.
