Reviews of WILDERNESS LODGE - THE VILLA FOR A LUXURY HOLIDAY! (5916) Date  05-10-2010 Rating  Name  Craig Strangward Message  Past Guest Comments The villa was in a picture perfect location with exceptional services. We did encounter a problem with one of the bathrooms but with one phone call to the management team it was quickly rectified. All bedrooms are nicely decorated and are all a very good size. The pool was great as it was south facing and the games room was very good. This is the 7th year we have been to florida and stayed in various villa's but this one has been the best by a mile and with its in a great location for disneyworld which is less than 10 mins away. All shops and restaurants are very close with a good selection. I would recommend this villa to anyone that wants to listen. Mr Twelvetree, UK __________________________________________________ We selected Wilderness lodge for the price and size of the house. It was well worth it. The amenities were excellent, no complaints. It is a beautifully decorated house that felt like home away from home. The owners provided excellent communication with me regarding any questions/concerns I had. They even provided us with our first mornings breakfast (goodie basket). I would highly recommend this property to others. Mrs Trivette, USA _______________________________________________________________ The home was exactly as it was described on the internet. The home was clean and well appointed. I bring a couple of my favorite pots and pans as I do the cooking while our children and grandchildren do all the fun things. I would recommend this property to all my friends. We did all our eating at home and did not have to wait on any lines. We were there during the Easter vacation and all the restaurants are really busy. We had the pool heated and it was used everyday and evening the management company was so helpful and courteous. Mr Fredericksen, USA (Note from the owner: The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, dishes, cutlery etc.) _______________________________________________________________ 13 of us enjoyed a fabulous week at this villa. We were greeted with a welcome pack of groceries which was well appreciated. The villa was clean, tidy and spacious with every amenity as seen on the website. It was well maintained.The listing description was accurate regarding the location, layout and amenities. The pool was inviting, there was an excellent new BBQ for our use. Rooms were decorated adequately with good furnishings and decor. The kitchen was delightful too. Directions and arrangements to enter the villa were simple and precise and emailed to us two weeks in advance. Payment was simple and deposit returned promptly on our arrival back to England into our account. I would definately recommend this villa and its owners to anyone wanting to explore the Disney Parks ( a ten minute drive away) and downtown Orlando. It is a gated community with many facilities although we had little time left to explore these! The owner provided good customer service.Thankyou for a delightful villa! Mrs Mann, UK _______________________________________________________________ We enjoyed our stay at your villa in Emerald Island. It was a great house with lots of room and plenty of amenities. We were impressed with the food that was already there and all the information about the house readily available. It was a place we would recommend to others. It made for a great stay in Florida. Mrs Christensen, USA _______________________________________________________________ We truly enjoyed our stay at the Wilderness Lodge in August of 2009. The house is beautiful and exactly as it is pictured on your website. There is nothing like going away from home yet in the comfort of home while on vacation. This is exactly what we felt during our stay! The accommodations were far better than any hotel. The grounds of Emerald Island Resort are breath taking and maintained very well. The pool was a huge hit with the kids as well as the garage game room. They also enjoyed the playgrounds on the property and took advantage of a few craft classes at the Resort. Thank you for creating such a comfortable environment for children and teens. It was a pleasure to receive prompt communication with any questions we had regarding the villa. We look forward to using the villa again and have recommended the villa to friends and family. Mrs Welch, USA _______________________________________________________________ We had a wonderful holiday and found Wilderness Lodge to be perfectly suitable for our requirements. We liked the location and the amenities in the villa. We found there to be plenty of cutlery and crockery etc (both plastic and china) for 12 of us which was great so that we didn't have to keep washing up! There were also piles of thick towels to ensure everyone had fresh towels at all times. Although we brought our own beach towels we were very grateful of the use of the additional ones in the villa. In general the furnishings and equipment were of a high standard. I spoke to Paul at the management company and found him to be extremely helpful each time. All in all we had a great time and found the villa to be an excellent base for our family holiday.We would be more than happy to use it again and to recommend it to friends going to Orlando. Mr and Mrs Hall, UK _______________________________________________________________ The villa was lovely, we had a really enjoyable time and will be back again. Mrs Thompson, UK _______________________________________________________________ We had a great time in Orlando, The kids loved the house, specially the play room, now they want a pool table!!! Mr Trujillo, EC _______________________________________________________________ It was lovely. The villa is great just what we needed and met and exceeded expectations. Highly recommended for families wanting to be close to disney etc. Mr Gardner, UK _______________________________________________________________ We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday with the family and really enjoyed having our own pool to relax in especially after the rigours of the Disney parks. We especially appreciated the plentiful patio furniture and pool towels with six young children jumping in and out of the pool. The shade provided outside helped us to survive the hotter weather after our cold winter. The excellent barbecue proved a great success for evening meals. With 6 adults and 6 children, it was the only place where we could all sit down together. We were glad that we overlooked the lake and the nature reserve as it gave a greater sense of privacy. The children were disappointed that there were no gators to see! Internally the villa was spacious and well-appointed. The games room was good, although not often used as the pool was the favourite . The washing machine and dryer were first class. Finally, thank you very much for your card and beautiful flowers. The holiday was a wonderful way to celebrate our golden wedding and something we will never forget. Mr and Mrs Greatorex, UK
