Love this place & can't wait to return. Clean, convenient & well stocked property. Just bring clothes. The pool & hot tub got plenty of use & was wonderful. This house isn't missing a thing. Owner & Management were friendly & available throughout the entire process. We will certainly rent from this homeowner in the future.

Family get together
The house was in great shape and very spacious. The kitchen had all of the dishes/pans etc we needed. We spent most of the time at the pool that over looks the pond and playing cornhole outside in the fenced in side yard. We would rent this again if we ever came back to the area. Thanks Tom

Family Vacation
We had another wonderful time here. On our second year here and already booked for next year. As my family said “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. This house is a wonderful place to unwind and forget about everything. This house is everything it claims to be and more. Haven’t stayed in anything nicer in all ours years coming to Florida. So till next year!!

Best trip ever
We had an amazing time. This was our first time visiting Disney World where we didn't stay on the property because we were celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday and she wanted to stay somewhere that we could have a private pool. It was so nice and relaxing to come back from the parks and have the pool to ourselves. The house was beautiful and comfortable and we enjoyed having our breakfast on the lanai. We love the Disney Resorts but we definitely want to stay at this or one of your other properties again the next time we visit Florida. Thank you for helping to make our first time renting with VRBO a wonderful experience!

Luxurious stay
Four adults stayed in this beautiful home. We couldn't believe how well stocked this home was and were surprised with the options we had to make our vacation comfortable. The pool area and view were a perfect way to relax and getaway from the fast pace of Disney. The location is very convenient whether for shopping needs, dining or the parks. I will highly recommend this property to friends and family looking to experience the magic of Disney!

Great House for Family at Disney
This house gave all the room and entertainment we needed to have a great vacation at WDW. Quiet neighborhood and quick drive to the park that didn’t require tolls or highways. The pool and game room was loads of fun! Only issues were the dishwasher didn’t work for our entire stay and neither did the ice machine. The microwave didn’t work either but they provided a countertop one so that wasn’t a problem.

Great location and room for all
We enjoyed our stay! The pool was sparkling clean and the home had everything we needed to prepare a few meals, and was very well stocked with coffee makers, pots/pans, towels, even pool towels. The layout is nice as there are 2 king bedrooms, plus a smaller queen, on the first floor. Upstairs there are three additional bedrooms, allowing room for everyone to have their own space and not feel crowded. Outside there is a small fenced area which was great for our dog. The neighborhood was a nice, quiet respite after long days in the parks and at conferences. Owner & management were responsive any time we had a question. The location was convenient to a nice Publix grocery store. We would stay again!

A Magical Getaway!
My husband, family, friends, (and 2 dogs) and I stayed at Lakeview Retreat for our wedding last Friday! The property is a huge home that comfortably fits 12 people, we stayed outside in the gorgeous pool that was recently refurbished when we weren't running to and from Disney Springs for wedding things. The house had tons of natural light and plenty of space, lots of bathrooms for everyone. The photos don't do it justice, it is even better in person! Both Pat and Sharon went above and beyond to make sure our stay was magical! From emails back and forth leading up to our wedding/vacay, to realizing pool heat is always needed during our stay, they made sure we were comfortable and accommodated! We had an amazing time seeing our friends and family, it was great to have everyone under one roof since we don't usually see them except once a year! I highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay near the Disney Parks with friends and family, it's a great getaway with beautiful views!!

Amazing villa!!!
I cannot say enough good things about this villa and our overall experience with the owners and management company. We have rented villas in the Disney location many times but this is hands down the most clean, well equipped, beautifully presented that we have stayed in! There was plenty of space for our all adult family group of 8, the pool area is so relaxing and plenty of space for everyone without feeling on top of one another too. It is incredibly close to everything you need, theme parks, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacy. I corresponded with the management to ask a question and they responded instantly. This villa is like home from home and next time we have family visiting we will not hesitate to rent this little gem again!
