On quiet cul-de-sac, with heatable pool, lots of privacy, 65" smart TV, Wi-Fi
This Excellent Vacation Home is of the Excellent Superior category. The villa is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac (no through traffic) in St. James Park, right off South Poinciana Blvd. All major theme parks like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World are within easy reach. Just like the many world’s best golf courses Central Florida has to offer. There are supermarkets and dining nearby. Everything you could possibly need really is close at hand. This villa offers free high-speed internet (Wi-Fi), plus free local and long-distance calling within the United States.
The 2-story villa has many extras to make your stay very enjoyable. When entering the villa the living room is on your left. The dining room is on your right. Straight ahead you step into the family room, with the large, 65" smart cable TV (basic cable via the Spectrum app, plus on-demand streaming through all popular streaming apps). To the right of that room you will find the semi-open kitchen and spacious breakfast nook, seating 6.
In the rear on the left side of the villa you will find the Master Bedroom with King Bed, smart TV (basic cable via the Spectrum app, plus on-demand streaming through all popular streaming apps), plus walk-in closet and the 'en suite' bathroom with dual vanity, walk-in shower, large garden tub, and toilet. On the right side of the villa you will find the second bedroom with Queen Bed, smart TV (basic cable via the Spectrum app, plus on-demand streaming through all popular streaming apps) and closet, plus another spacious bathroom with dual vanity, shower tub and toilet. This bathroom also offers direct pool deck access. This is a very convenient feature; it allows you to walk-in and out from the pool deck right into the bathroom to take that quick shower and find your towels after those refreshing swims.
The other two bedrooms are upstairs. The first bedroom to the right has a Full bed, closet and bathroom with vanity, shower tub and toilet. This bathroom is shared with the other bedroom, which has a bunk bed sleeping 2 younger guests. Last but not least, you will find another family room upstairs (a loft), with smart TV (streaming only), and access to the screened balcony, offering a wonderful view onto the pool and surrounding area. All bedrooms, and the family room have ceiling fans.
The open kitchen is very well fitted. It includes a full size oven, built-in microwave, large fridge-freezer with ice-maker, waste disposal unit and dishwasher. There is also a full range of electrical appliances and utensils – pretty much everything you could want in your home away from home.
From the family room and the two downstairs bedrooms, you have access to the heatable pool. Pool deck chairs and sun loungers allow for late night, pool side relaxing. The fantastic view from the great pool onto the pond plus the high trees in the back is very hard to beat. The pool heating is optional, at an extra cost. "Spa" area as seen in pool photos really is a for-looks-only feature, so no bubbles, not a hot tub (no Spa).
A full-size washing machine and dryer, plus an iron and ironing board are present too.

Hi Jason, thank you for the 5-star review. We are glad you enjoyed the clean home and peaceful neighborhood, and we would love to host you again.
The house was roomy enough for a family to stay. Well stocked kitchen n amenities! Too cold for the pool as with the unusual weather this time of year. All n all was a good vacation rental. House needs a little update (paint, cookware) and a deeper cleaning, otherwise it was fine. Attractions were about 45 to an hr away. We took the train to Winter Park which was nice. I’d recommend this villa it’s a quiet neighborhood also!

Hi Lougene, thank you for your detailed feedback. We are glad the home was roomy enough for your family and that you found the kitchen and amenities well stocked. While the for FL unusual cold weather isn’t something we can control, we are sorry the pool wasn’t enjoyable during your stay. We appreciate your suggestions regarding paint, cookware, and deeper cleaning; feedback like this helps us continue improving the home. Thank you as well for noting the overall positive experience. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your vacation, including your trip by SunRail to Winter Park, and we would love to host you again in the future.
This house had great pros but also notable cons.Pros:-the house was huge and we loved having the three very spacious bathrooms.-the pool was perfect-we paid for pool heat and it was worth it on the slightly breezier days. The lanai was great to keep bugs and critters away. -the linen for the beds and bathrooms were very clean-the kitchen and bathrooms were very clean-location was great Cons:-the signs by the thermostats stated that the air conditioning couldn’t be set below 75 or the system would malfunction…which seems to me like the system is broken because how can you call it air conditioning if it can’t go below 75? The upstairs was very warm at night, especially since we were having temperatures in the high 80s during our stay. Being upstairs with my two young children who aren’t used to sleeping in warmer temperatures was difficult. -we found a used condom under one of the beds which was disgusting. -there is very limited eating utensils for a house that can accommodate so many people.-the kitchen towels and pot holders could use replacing. They were very worn. -the water pressure in the shower upstairs was so strong that it was uncomfortable and I dreaded using it.-it would be great to have an electronic code for accessing the front door to the house so I didn’t have to keep track of house keys on vacation.
Property was great, it serves us well as a family, had everything we needed. The pool was brilliant. The location was perfect, 30 miutes away from everywhere. Remi from the property management was amazing, very responsive. We didn't have any problems but they could see the AC dropping and notified me and sent an engineer straight away. I would 100% stay here again and 100% recommend this villa. Thank you for making our holiday a great holiday

Thank you for your review Darlene, and yes, the pool concern was a quick fix, and that's what we are here for. Following your feedback in this review, we have checked the dryer, and found its vent to the roof could use a good cleaning. Now working great again. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

It was okay
An older House but for a short stay absolutely okay
House was exactly how the pictures portrayed it. It was in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood with a small lake and many beautiful birds.
Great place for a quiet and peaceful getaway.
Everything about this property was perfect. Pictures don’t do it justice as this place was better than the pictures. Neighborhood was very nice, peaceful, and safe. Property was very well maintained and super clean. I would definitely book this place again
The home is a bit dated, but you can see that in the online photos so it is as described. It was in the 80s during our visit and the pool heat was perfect. This is about half hour from the Disney Parks during traffic--it was nice to have peace & quiet away from touristy areas. Would definitely stay again!

Reviewer Comments: The villa is in a good location and with no immediate rear neighbours. However having stayed in villas both in the Orlando, Kissimmee and in the Gulf Coast areas for what is approaching 40 years, I found this villa frustrating as it could be so much better.It is in desperate need for some money to be spent on it as it has obviously been let go for a significant period and signs of tiredness, worn out, unrepaired items are prevalent throughout. The beds are comfortable and clean which is a positive. However the cabinets and decoration throughout are obviously old. There are chips out of walls and across the lanai - which would be a concern if we had small children in our party.The cleanliness in the immediate areas was ok, however a quick look at window sills and less obvious areas left a lot to be desired. We found this out when pulling a sofa out to chase a lizard that had obviously been living there. (Unfortunately we found three more dead ones under the same sofa.No wine glasses was a surprise and a lack of plastic glasses was also unsusual. Also finding an envelope for an optional tip for the cleaner I found insulting having been charged a cleaning fee. Why this isn't included in the rental rate I chose to pay for the pool heating being November and this worked well. However having watched the pool cleaner twice, whatever he is getting paid to clean the pool for the very small amount of time he is there, if it was my villa, he wouldn't retain his role.L
