Post wedding vacation

We stayed here following a family wedding in the Orlando area. The place was in a great location, easy walk to the beach. The house was lovely and spacious. The few times we had to contact the hosts for maintenance, it was very prompt and courteous service, even on a holiday. Would stay here again.

Disliked: Communication
House was great, parking was a major problem. I read all the instructions told them we woukd having three cars, 2 we knew could be parked outside. I asked if there was a garage. They said yes we should be covered for three cars only to find out the garage was a playroom. They wouldn't issue us another parking pass and told us to find our own offsite parking because the overflow parking was full. That was not the case overflow was empty by 50% the whole time we were there, certain people said they'd help us and didn't. We spent the first two days back back-and-forth, turned out to be quite a headache.We received a schedule of events for six months earlier, and when I asked for an updated when they told us there were no events in that facility. Very confusing.The house is beautiful, we enjoyed our time even if there were a few issues.

Family Trip

The property and the neighborhood were great. The home had everything we wanted. There were a couple of items that could have been better: Parking - Could have been more accommodating. The garage is partially finished and the other is used for storage. With only 2 parking spots, and sleeps 16, there's a lot of car shuffling occurring. A golf cart rental offer might help. Ice Machine - The ice machine didn't work the whole time. Maintenance was called and came out, and promised to bring some ice spice the ice machine didn't work, and never showed back up, so the whole week, in July, in Florida, having to leave every other day to grab more ice. Pool - Pool was slightly green when we arrived, but the sign says the pool should be serviced twice a week. By the end of our week, it still was very dirty, and after calling, and a no show from the pool person, we finally called a 4th time and got them there our last day.The house was amazing and tons of fun for everyone, despite the minor things listed.

What makes this property unique

As seasoned travelers with big families, our founders saw firsthand the drawbacks and inconsistencies of the average vacation rental. So, they set out to build and design from scratch a type of vacation property that offers everything they couldn’t find:

  • Consistently beautiful décor
  • High bed counts (for up to 34 guests!)
  • Ultra-spacious living and dining rooms
  • Epic themed bedrooms for kids
  • Arcades and movie theaters
  • Fully stocked kitchens with high-end appliances
  • The most UNIQUE and MEMORABLE amenities to make your vacay experience unforgettable—from bowling alleys and treehouse rooms to indoor ninja obstacle courses, casinos, karaoke rooms, and huge spa pools.


  • Gone are the days of bunking with all the kids on squeaky cots, or trekking across land and sea, only to discover that those online pictures you thought you’d be seeing in person…are actually 15 years old! When you book with Villatel, you can rest assured that you and your crew will enjoy a new kind of vacation experience—in a custom-designed home that’s consistently beautiful & reliable, and offers great value.
