This was our first family vacation to Disney World and Universal and this home did not disappoint. We had 5 adults and 1 child and we had so much space. We loved the interior and the details of being part of the Wizard World and Harry Potter! We really enjoyed the pool as well and it was nice having it heated for evening swims. Thank you for the hospitality and easy process throughout the booking and stay.

We loved the game room, the pool, and discovering details everywhere we looked. We will be back in a heartbeat! A truly magical and memorable experience! The kitchen was well equipped and spacious, plenty of tables and chairs to eat comfortably. Pictures don’t do it justice! Top notch host so responsive!!!!

Perfect Family Vaca!

This house was themed so well! Perfect off site for a Disney/Universal vaca. We had a concern about the hot tub and I kid you not Chris had someone there and it fixed right away. Beyond appreciate Chris being so responsive to me in that situation and in just chatting. This is our second property we’ve stayed at with Galaxy Beyond Villas and we will continue to use them everytime we come!

If anyone in your world is a Potter fan, THIS is your ideal stay in Orlando! There are surprises and little finds sprinkled throughout the house, so it's like an endless treasure hunt. It's incredibly roomy and perfect for unwinding after a long day at the park - our favorite was putting our feet up and watching a movie after soaking our tired feet in the pool or hot tub! The host, Chris, is incredibly attentive and responsive. An all-around magical, mystical stay!

As Harry Potter fans we were very impressed with the decor and attention to detail in every aspect of the house. There was plenty of room for our multi-generational family to truly enjoy our stay. We took advantage of the additional beverage fridge and coffee makers everyday! And there was no shortage of dishes or appliances to help us feel at home.

Had the most magical time!

Communication was fantastic from start to finish. The house was beautifully decorated right down to the smallest details. House was clean, pool was a favorite, along with the pool table and projector screen for late night movies! The bed was one of the comfiest I’ve slept on, even more than my own. My kids loved all of the themed rooms and also having their own bathrooms to use. Getting to the Disney parks was quick and easy, never any traffic. Ordering food from the onsite store and having it delivered was a nice perk as well. We will definitely book again if we come back to Florida!

I chose to book this property for my family who are huge Harry Potter fans for our Universal Studios/Disney Vacation. This home did not disappoint! Love that it is in a secured gated community. The home was clean and had all the amenities you need. The pool was a nice place to relax after hours at the parks. We enjoyed it so much that we didn't even make it to the club house pool. Nice quiet community to come home to after all the hustle and bustle of the parks. The owner stayed in contact with me during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed or if we had any questions. I would rent this home again in a heartbeat!!!

Thanks Randall. The location definitely can't be beat. My guests often get home quicker than guests staying on Disney property that have to wait for busses and then travel to a number of different resorts before they're dropped off at their own. The next time you visit you'll have to try one of our other properties. In addition to this Harry Potter house, we also have houses dedicated to Star Wars and Marvel.

This house truly exceeded our expectations! It was impeccably clean and well-stocked, making our stay incredibly comfortable. The private pool was a delightful bonus, perfect for relaxing after a day at the parks. We also loved the playroom with the pool table—it provided endless entertainment.

Thank you Shannen. This house was a year in the making. I had to collect a lot of the decor and furniture in Pittsburgh (where I live) and have it shipped down to Orlando when I did the conversion. That starry ceiling took me 14 hours to paint. It really warms my heart when guests notice. Can't wait to have you come stay again.

So glad you enjoyed your stay and the hurricane didn't interrupt your fun. It was sooo nice having a Floridian staying. You were so much more down to earth than others who had booked a trip for the same time frame. The national media love to sell advertising by whipping everyone into a frenzy and getting them to believe the entire state is going to experience the end of days. Would love to have you stay with us again.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Kashak

Host profile image
As a father of two, I've always valued creating lasting memories with my children—whether it was beach getaways, Disney vacations, or weekends at the lake. As they grew, I stayed involved by coaching their sports teams and leading youth programs. One of the most impactful experiences for us was the YMCA Parent-Child Program (formerly Indian Guides and Indian Princesses), where I eventually became the head volunteer for both groups. These programs were all about building meaningful bonds through fun, shared events—a philosophy I’ve carried into my work as a short-term rental host.

In 2018, a fellow dad introduced me to the idea of owning vacation homes near Disney. After some consideration, I purchased our first property—Galaxy Beyond—and spent the first year learning the ropes. That experience sparked a new passion, and by the end of 2019, I had added a second home—Princesses Assemble. When the pandemic hit, I leaned into the opportunity and added a third property in July 2020—now known as Villa 9 ¾, inspired by Harry Potter.

In early 2021, I left my full-time job to focus entirely on short-term rentals. Our fourth home, A Villa Far, Far Away, a Star Wars-themed retreat, was a full renovation project that unlocked a creative side I didn’t know I had. Since then, I’ve continued to expand and evolve our portfolio, including the Marvel-inspired SHIELD Safe House in 2022 and the transformation of Villa 9 ¾ in 2023.

Today, my mission is simple: to create immersive, memory-filled vacation homes where families can laugh, connect, and make the kind of memories that last a lifetime—just like I’ve done with my own.
