Fabulous house.
From the moment we booked and were contacted by the owner the booking was stress free. The house is so well situated for the parks, it has everything you could possibly need to ensure your stay is perfect. There was even dishwasher powder, washing powder, washing up liquid, kitchen towel, in short those annoying extras you usually need to buy that you only use a little bit of. The house was beautifully clean, we felt safe and secure. The information pack provided by the owner was brilliant and we referred to it over our stay to find places to eat, shop and also any queries we had about the property. The owner was also very responsive as were the property managers. An excellent recommendation is that given the chance we would return in a heartbeat, we don’t need to look elsewhere for a rental in Florida. Beds were lovely and comfy and the bedding was clean as were the towels of which there were plenty. If I could say one bad thing, we’re didn’t stay for long enough! Thanks to Carol for allowing us to stay in her beautiful property. In the words of Arnie, we’ll be back 😁

Perfect home away from home!
Pictures doesn’t really do justice to this beautiful home! So close to Disney World, Universal and any restaurant your heart might desire, it was perfect for our family getaway. We absolutely loved the privacy of the pool and how serene and quiet it was!! Everything in the house is top quality and in abundance. We would definitely go back to this property again. Thank you Carol❤️

Great place to stay
This was, by far, the best home we've stayed in, over many years of renting in the area. It is clean, comfortable and beautifully presented. There are so many extras provided, such as washing powder and dishwasher detergent and the home is well equipped with kitchen appliances, utensils, towels and bed linen. The owner and management company work hard to make sure that guests' needs are met and any issues are dealt with promptly. Carol, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and responded immediately to any queries we had. I particularly liked the individual information pack that was sent to us, prior to travel. It gave us the opportunity to familiarise ourselves with the property and was full of really useful information. A lovely touch and very much appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Florida Palm Villa.

Wonderful Experience
My family typically spends the majority of our visits on Disney property, but wanted to try something new. We really enjoyed staying at this property for 5 days while visiting Disney, Cocoa Beach and simply enjoying the residence. If anything the pictures understate how nice this property is. The owners have thought of everything you need for a great stay and provide lots of helpful directions throughout the property. The pool was clean and well maintained. Would highly recommend. Communication with owner ahead of the trip was very helpful.

Absolutely Fantastic!
I read the reviews before renting this place for a week. As wonderful as the reviews are, they simply do not do this place justice. It was beyond amazing. The home is gorgeous, immaculately clean, cozy and comfortable. Everything you need is available from plush linens to cookware/utensils. It was not lacking anything. The beds were comfortable and overall the home was better then perfect. The private pool was icing on the cake. After a day at Universal Studios, we relaxed in the pool/jacuzzi from walking all day. We had a few family pool tournaments in the game room which was so much fun. The home added so much to our vacation. If you're second guessing, just don't. You won't regret choosing this place. Carol was very nice, attentive, and just an email away if anything was needed. She is detail oriented and it was clear her goal was to ensure we had a great stay. She clearly takes pride in her home and proving a great experience to anyone who stays there. I could honestly go on and on but how great our stay was. 10 stars if we could give it!!!

Perfect family vacation
We had an amazing week in Carol's home! We had stayed in the neighborhood in a different a few months prior and loved the location so much we had to book there again. The previous home we stayed in was booked, but we found Carol's house and she had excellent reviews so I felt comfortable booking. I'm so glad we did. The home was perfectly clean, the beds were comfortable, there was plenty of space for my family and the pool/ hot tub area was excellent. Any questions I had, Carol was quick to respond and we didn't need the property managers for anything. It's obvious this home is very well cared for and I would 100% stay here again in the future. Thank you for having an amazing home and keeping it as nice as it is. Vacation is always so much better when you feel like you're staying somewhere that feels like home, and Carol's home is definitely one of those places!!

Terrific Property, Great Location!
We loved staying at this house! It had everything we needed to feel right at home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, with a location convenient to Disney World as well as a number of restaurants and amenities nearby. The house itself is very clean, organized, and well stocked with things like towels, cookware, etc. We didn't need to call the management company for anything during our stay. Everyone in our party particularly enjoyed relaxing in the pool and dining under the covered lanai. Carol is a great host and is quick to respond to any questions. She provided a very comprehensive packet of information prior to the trip, so we felt 100% prepared for our stay. We would absolutely stay here again in the future!

Wonderful stay
We had a great experience staying in this home! The house was clean, as pictured and very comfortable. Carol and the management company we’re knowledgeable and quick to respond to messages. A lot of items were provided and extras brought out to the house (for no charge) during our stay. There were plenty of towels, the linens and beds were clean and comfortable. The pool was great. The management company and the pool person filled it up for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Immaculate house
Our stay at Carol’s place was great. First, it was absolutely immaculate. I’ve never been in any Airbnb or Vrbo rental that was this clean. Second, there was a perfect amount of space for the 6 of us (parents, kids & grandparents). There was a study room that was perfect for my dad to have some quiet time away from the kids and to study for his promotion interview coming up. My kids loved “their” bedroom, the Mickey & Minnie on the bed was a cute touch and boy were they excited to see a TV in their room....they aren’t allowed to have that at home:) The pool & game room was a big hit. My kids were able to burn off whatever excess energy they had after the theme parks (no idea how they had any left because the adults were spent). Although minor, there were a couple things that caught me off guard. We were only allowed one toilet paper & paper towel roll during our entire stay. The management paper stated the place was self serving. We had to go to the store for some groceries anyway so we just got some when we were out. I just think enough toilet paper, especially should be provided for the entire stay. The toilet paper was very thin so we went through it quite quickly between the 6 of us, 7 nights and 3 rolls (there was 1 extra under one of the sinks too). Also, a big one that got me was that you have to pay for the “pool heat” extra to get “spa heat” & the spa heat only gets to 100 degrees. We didn’t need the pool heat, just wanted the adults to be able to enjoy the spa after long Disney days. I’m sure it had said it in one of the documents I received but it was definitely an unexpected expense a couple days before leaving on our trip. In San Diego, we can run a spa without needing the pool heat so I just had no idea that was even a thing. I know this is completely out of the owners hands but our neighbors were extremely loud until about 2am almost nightly. They were partying out by the pool with a lot of people. I had to say something to them at about 1am one of the nights but nothing changed. It was hard for my kids and I to sleep through it, especially needing to wake up early for the parks daily. I’m sure this was very situational and doesn’t happen often. Regardless, we had an amazing time! We would stay here again, if we are able to because it was an overall pleasant experience. Thankful that Carol opened up her home to us, creating fun memories we will never forget!

First class villa very close to Disney
A very relaxing villa, well thought out and equipped with everything you need for a villa holiday. Lovely pool area and games room made time away from the parks very enjoyable. Carol made everything easy for us, providing excellent information about the villa, directions and park/shopping/dining information prior to our stay. We would definitely rent this villa again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful home in excellent location
This was our 3rd time renting a home in the Orlando area. The first time at this Villa and I must say it was by far the best. When you look at the pictures of the home on the website you can see that it's a lovely home but to actually walk through the front door yourself WOW it's really beautiful. The Villa is immaculate with top of the line appliances, excellent internet and games room. This Villa didn't feel like your typical rental home. You could tell it was the home of someone who took great pride in what they had to offer. If it were my home I'm not so sure I would rent it out. It was that nice!! Prior to arriving we received a welcome package in the mail which included house information, maps with written directions, coins for the toll road and a list of restaurants and shopping. Before getting the package I thought why not email me the information but once I received it I was impressed. Very professional! Between the welcome package and instructions throughout the Villa no detail was left out. We never had to contact the management company as there were no issues. The gated community itself was beautiful and so close to all the attractions, restaurants and shopping. I can't say enough about this fabulous Villa. Your attention to detail and the presentation of your home is an indication of how you really want your guests to enjoy their stay without any issues. It’s a reflection of the type of person you are and you should be very proud. Thank you so much Carol for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home. You thoroughly spoiled us and now I wouldn't stay anywhere else. I look forward to returning next year. Rita K.

Second stay as wonderful as the first!
This was our second stay in Formosa Palm Villa, and we loved it as much as the first time. Carol's excellent information pack makes the arrival process stress-free from the moment you land at the airport until you are in the front door and relaxing in this beautiful home. Once inside, expect to feel comfortable and pampered. We couldn't have imagined a better place to spend our vacation - ceiling fans in all the rooms, an ice maker, lovely pool, large television, comfortable sofas and beds, and good internet. Everything was spotlessly clean. Add to that, the villa is a very short and easy drive to yummy restaurants, Disney, and shopping, and it becomes clear why we really didn't want to leave! We absolutely loved our stay in your beautiful home. I hope that we will have another chance to stay in your villa. It is definitely one of the best places we have ever rented, and the only one we have ever returned to. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Beautifully presented with everything you need
Formosa Palm Villa was the perfect base for our small family to unwind after a busy day at the parks. Everything from the beautiful plush carpets, inviting spa, comfortable family area and walk-in showers were perfect. Everything worked as it should and any instructions were very clear and easy to follow. We didn't have to go hunting around for things like dishwasher powder or bin bags. I feel like I should mention the walk-in showers again as they were EXCELLENT, so easy to use and really helped after a full day of roller coasters, Florida heat and (sometimes) heavy rain. The perfect holiday home.

Perfection in a vacation rental
High expectations were set by the prompt response and information pack sent by Carol, the content of which would win gold if such a thing were an Olympic event. The location and house matched those extremely high standards. 10 minutes or so to the Disney parks, close to excellent shops and restaurants and conveniently close to routes that allow one to escape the parks when needed and head to either coast. The house itself was immaculately clean and was fitted and furnished superbly. A lovely balance between feeling like a prestigious home and an homely home at the same time. There is plenty of space for privacy in a group but at the same time, the flow of the house makes for several great gathering areas. The kitchen includes a fantastic fridge freezer and all imaginable items. Things such as washing powder and such being included may seem minor, but all of these small touches contribute towards the feeling that nothing is too much trouble and has been carefully thought through. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms excellent. The Games Room has one of the best pool tables that I have come across in a private home. The pool area is great and the pool itself is a good shape for swimming. Mickey Mouse shaped pools look good from the air, but try swimming around one! The pool area is discretely concealed by the surrounding vegetation and felt very private. We have stayed in many properties around the world over the years and I would confidently recommend this vacation home without hesitation. I am already plotting how we can make a return visit. To know that everything is as described and exceeds the expectations is a great way to start a holiday.

Super house and service level
The house, the surroundings and not least the exceptional service minded owner of the house made the stay incredibly good. The house is the highest standard where everything works to perfection. It clearly shows that the owner goes beyond what can be expected to make it a great stay for any occupants. We were throughout met with outstanding support with immediate help if a question arose. We would anytime select this house again due to the high standard and amazing service level.

Amazing vacation spot!
Nothing I can think of that I could honestly say would make the stay more pleasant - it was wonderful! The house was absolutely immaculate, which is such a wonderful find in a rental property! Often the surface appears clean but there are dark corners...not so in your house! We found everything as advertised, there was nothing at all lacking and we appreciated all of the little touches like laundry detergent. We loved the pool and the proximity to the parks. We would love to come back again not to go to the parks, but simply to enjoy the house! :)

Fabulous Vacation Villa
Carol We thoroughly enjoyed your home. As a family we have been fortunate enough to do some extensive travel. Hands down our entire experience dealing with you has been the best we have ever had and we have utilized many VRBO homes. From the time we made initial contact with you to the full information package we received with the toll coins, detailed maps, things to do etc. was all something we have never experienced before. We felt so comfortable going to your home. The full alarm and door procedure was so clear and detailed that we had no issues. The home was as you had described, was spotless, well stocked and the labels were great. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The pool was heated as promised, so spent a great amount of time in it. Having our two six year olds the door alarms to pool area gave us great piece of mind that if they did go outside to pool area we would know. No substitute for good parenting but an added security feature. It is a beautiful area, neighbours were quiet. Grocery store and restaurants within 5-10 minutes. Disney longest drive was 20 minutes. Animal kingdom 10 minutes. Beyond this, Carol, I find it hard that I can't find one thing that was wrong or would have made our stay better. It was fabulous. Don't mind you sharing our name and comments and would also be happy if anyone ever wanted to touch base re our experience. Again we had an amazing time, loved your home and there were no surprises which is always nice to arrive and find a place as promised. Thank you Carol Warm regards Wayne and Raschelle Bodenstab

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient!
We were delighted with our stay at Formosa Palm Villa. Carol went above and beyond from our first contact until the day we left. Every question we had was answered quickly and thoroughly, and the pre-arrival pack gave us an abundance of information and helpful maps. The villa was absolutely lovely, even nicer than the photos. All of the furnishings are in great condition, and very comfortable. The modern televisions and fast wifi made evenings in very enjoyable. Having ceiling fans in all the rooms was another bonus. The management company was quick to respond to a minor issue we had with the pool alarm. All in all, we could not have asked for a better, more comfortable or convenient home in which to spend our holiday. If we are lucky enough to return to Orlando, Formosa Palm Villa will definitely be our first choice!

First Class Villa in a Frist Class Location
We have been holidaying in Orlando for the last 18 years and this is the best villa we have stayed in. The villa is very well maintained and is in a very good location to visit the Disney Parks. The owner, Carol was very professional from the initial contact to the very prompt refund of the security deposit. The villa was very well equipped even down to a teapot and providing washing powder. The pool and deck area are wonderful and very welcoming after a full day at the theme parks. We would very much like to be able return soon.
