This seven bedroom villa is set on an extra large premium plot at the resort in the exclusive 'Enclave' area of larger, more prestigious homes. The location offers unrivalled privacy, peace and quiet than can be found almost anywhere else in the Disney area.
The southerly facing pool area backs on to a lake with beautuful woodland nature preserve providing the backdrop as far as the eye can see. The pool itself boasts a boisterous yet relaxing rock waterfall and tropical plants and flowers to give it the atmosphere of a true tropical oasis. The waterfall is especially relaxing when enjoyed from the separately heated spa on the opposite side of the pool after a hard day at the many nearby theme parks. The deck area has been extended as far toward the lake as it could go to ensure ample room for all our guests and more to enjoy the gorgeous Florida sunshine.

No expense has been spared when it comes to the furnishings inside. All beds come equipped with 'hypoallergenic' pillow top quality mattresses and luxury sheets. The sleeping arrangements have been divided into 4 masters with two kings and two queens and three twin rooms, two of which are themed for the younger members of the party. All have adjoining bathrooms!
The home has been furnished with an elegant timeless style with a deep cherry dining suite and opulent four poster beds. The family room and kitchen area are more suited for casual comfort with soft leather and rustic furniture. The family room comes equipped with a large 1080P! Full HD television with digital home theater, stereo and more.
The garage has been converted into the ultimate games room complete with Brunswick 8ft Pool table, air hockey, fooseball, 50" HD screen, 4 more screens with Xbox 360's online and system linked, 4 pachinko machines and much much more.

“A great location for all there is to do in and around the Orlando area. The villa is great, very luxurious with great amenities. Great beds!”
J McDonald, Southport UK

“Andrew: We had a marvelous time at the villa. It was hard, at times, to get the children to go to the parks with all the activities they could do at the house.
We'll certainly recommend it to those we know, and hope to use it again when we return to the Orlando area.
Thank you again for all your hospitality.”
Sincerely,
Mike & Connie Sizemore, Columbia USA

“I wanted to touch base with you to say that we had a great trip and everything at the house was perfect. The kids truly enjoyed themselves and though we were out each day the evenings were kept busy with the pool, games room and videos. The location also worked out great for us as well. We have recommended it to some other people that may look at it for their next vacation. Thank you very much for the professional and courteous way in which we were treated.”
J Smith, New Brunswick, Canada

“I would love the opportunity to stay in your villa should we visit the Disney area again, it met all of our needs and then some. We so enjoyed hanging out at the pool. I find myself smiling when I think about the fact that we had twelve people in your home and we never felt like we needed to hide because the floor plan was laid out so well.”

“I am a little curious...what kind of mattress do you have in the downstairs bedroom? I would love to have one in our home!”

OWNER MSG - As far as we know Mrs Barry is now the relaxed and comfortable owner of a pillow top matress the same as the ones at the villa.....
ML Barry, Williams Bay, USA

“It has been a little while since we have returned from our vacation March 20-27 at your villa and I have been remiss in saying Thank you for the fine accommodations. Your villa was excellent and provided us a wonderful 'home base' during our week long visit. We found everything to be 'as advertised' and in many cases to be even better. Highlights were the awesome screened in patio area, the game room for the kids and finally what I am sure you have heard very often......... great beds!”
Todd VanDenAvond, Minnessota, USA

“Thank you very much for the rental of your house, we all had a great time, loved the pool and are particularly missing the comfortable beds.”
P Twocock, Richmond UK

“Thanks for your mail!

Nice big house , very new and well equiped!

Carolien Lugt, Rotterdam, Netherlands

“We had a fabulous vacation. The villa was everything we expected and more... perfect for our large group. It is truly a beautiful home away from home! We enjoyed it very much. I trust the condition was left as well or better than when we arrived. If you are ever in need of a reference I will be glad to brag on your behalf!”
Sandi Bothum, Abingdon MD USA

“We had a lovely holiday and thought that your villa was fantastic. I will definitely recommend it to any of my friends that are planning a trip to Florida.
I hope you and your family are well.”
J Curran, Chelmsford UK

“We had a lovely time, and enjoyed the house so much (even more than the parks) – there was plenty of rooms and space for all of us. The kids loved the pool, and we enjoyed sitting around with our margaritas. Wish I was sitting there now . . .”

“Thanks so much for your hospitality and the use of your beautiful home!!”
K Kroeger, Colarado, USA

“We have had a wonderful time in your beautiful home. This was our first trip to Orlando with the whole family and we’ll be back!”
E Studnik, Miami, Florida

“We’ve been visiting homes in this area for the last six years and yours has been my favourite so far! There is nothing you have overlooked. From the games room to the beautiful pool (love the waterfall – nice touch!) to the comfortable beds at the end of a fun-filled day. We all had a wonderful time and look forward to sharing your home again!”
L Caron, Ontario, Canada

“What a beautiful house! The perfect vacation home. We had a great time. The furniture and décor are beautiful, the pool and fountain beautifully designed. Just perfect. Plenty of room to spread out and unwind after long days at the parks. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!”
K Russo, New York

"As mentioned we had family staying in two other villas in Emerald Island and despite them staying in similar sized villas they were amazed by the quality of the furnishing inside yours!! And also the large lanai and pool area!! They were all very jealous of us and were trying to get us to swap!!Many thanks again!
Karl & Jenny Buckle, Nottingham UK

"Hi Jo and Andrew-

We just got back from our stay at your Villa. We had a great time, the place is so nice, everyone enjoyed it. You really have taken care to be sure that things are comfortable for anyone that visits your place. The safety measures with the pool/patio area were so great with the small kids- we really liked that. Thanks for allowing us to stay there. We left you a note in your guestbook as well. But since you won't see that for a while figured I send an email.We had a wonderful time..and would definately go back!

Again thanks for sharing your place with us, we really had a great family vacation.

Brenda Stewart and family" MA USA

Greetings! I finally have time to write something for the guest book. I didn't see a guestbook to write in while we were there. I hope this works.

The villa was wonderful! Tastefully decorated, with just enough! The beds were marvelous!! After three back surgeries it's hard to find a bed away from home that comforts and cradles you, well I did! We (all 11 of us) enjoyed our beds, the amenities, the game room and sitting out on the Lani just listening to the waterfall at night was so relaxing! Everything was so close, 5 minutes or less! The children chased the lizards and laughed with delight, we the adults relaxed and enjoyed the laughter from the children. It was nice to leave the Disney dazzle behind and retreat to a comfortable home instead of a cold dreary hotel room. I would HIGHLY recommend this villa (in fact I already have) to everyone. We hope your stay is as great as our was. Thanks so much!

Melissa Hinnen, Plainfield, Indiana
