Reviews of Award Winning Luxury Villa, 20 Mins From Disney (5981) Date  02-04-2012 Rating  Name  Lorraine Dunne Message  Guest Review from lorraine.dunne@orange.fr - Mar 14, 2012 "Great location, lovely villa." Mary Poppins villa was a real treat - set in Highlands Reserve Golf Club it was immaculately looked after, just like the course itself. The villa was spacious and comfortable with everything you would need and expect from a holiday in Florida. Located half an hour from Universal and 15mins from Disney it was an ideal setting to escape the chaos and excitement of the parks and only an hour from Tampa/Clearwater it was perfect for us. Best part was definitely the manicured gardens of Highlands Reserve and any request we had was immediately seen to. Thanks Steve - it's even inspired us to look for our own Florida getaway!

The price was right and it was very centrally located. A grocery store just about 1 mile down the road and the Disney parks are all within 1/2 hour of the house (15 mins if you don't hit traffic). Everything was clean and prepared for my wife and I when we arrived. The pool was one of the best parts about the house; very private and welcoming after a hot Florida day. The master bed is way comfy and the master shower was amazing. If you need a vacation home near Disney parks and other attractions, you need to stay at the Mary Poppins Villa. Hands down one of the greatest experiences I've had. The owner was very easy to work with and helped everything go smoothly. Date  03-01-2011 Rating  Name  Ian & Joe Curtis, Derby. Eng Message  "A outstanding family holiday" Many thanks to Steve and June for providing an outstanding Villa for our holiday in Orlando. I had heard that it was luxurious but did not expect it to be as good as it was. Everything was provided for and the pool was wonderful for either swimming, playing with the kids or just sitting around and enjoying a glass of wine whilst chilling out in the evening. It is in a very well kept resort (Highlands Reserve) which is only 20 mins from Disney, so close enough to get there easily but far enough away to escape the crowds at the end of the day. Once again this is an outstanding villa from which to base your holiday. Date  03-01-2011 Rating  Name  Nona. New Mexico Message  "Easy and Comfortable" Steve, Thank you for the use of your Villa. The Master bedroom was very comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us in the house. We didn't figure out the sliding door alarm right away but we worked around it and did get to enjoy the pool some. The weather was great and the location is very convenient. Thank you for a lovely place to stay. Date  03-01-2011 Rating  Name  Penny Mackenzie. Canada Message  "Practically Perfect in Every Way" What a terrific find! After years of expensive and inconvenient Orlando vacation stays, to be at Mary Poppins villa in Davenport was ideal. There is everything you would need for a luxury home-away- from-home and the location and ammenities are first rate. We especially appreciated the pool and the partially-covered lannai,which meant that no matter the weather we were able to make full use of the beautifully appointed home. We can't wait to visit next year. Date  03-01-2011 Rating  Name  Darren, UK Message  "Best of Both Worlds" My girlfriend and I stayed at the Villa at end of October. Location was quiet, yet ideal for getting to and from the main parks quickly and easily. Given the time of year, the nights got dark quite early so it was a real advantage in the evenings to be staying somewhere well stocked with computer games, pool table, tv (with all sport channels), swimming pool etc. Certainly beats the hotel option hands down! Would not hesitate to go back. Date  03-01-2011 Rating  Name  Stephen Rider UK Message  ""Practically Perfect in Every Way"" We rented this villa for a week in mid-October 2009 and it is hard to imagine a better setup for the vacation we had planned. The location is excellent. We visited Disney (3 of the 4 parks) and Seaworld. We also saw some other sites nearby and one day we drove over to tour the Kennedy Space Center. The villa is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. My teenagers loved the Wii and the movies. The pool was nice and clean and I was surprised at how quiet the neighborhood was. Shopping (incl. Walmart) and restaurants are within 5 minutes away. This villa is a truly private “home away from home” and a wonderful place for a family vacation in Orlando. It’s also a great value. My wife says the “Mary Poppins Villa” was “practically perfect in every way”. Date  03-01-2011 Rating  Name  Matt Rider. UK Message  "Fantastic Villa for Orlando" My wife & I rented this villa in the last week of September 2009. The location of the villa is great, only 15 mins from all of the Disney parks. A little bit further to Orlando, but only 20 mins or so. 2 mins down the road is a nice shopping precinct, just supermarket, take aways, etc, but more than enough to keep going. 5 mins away is a Walmart. The Villa was fantastic, very clean with plenty of plates & cutlery, towels, etc. There were only 2 of us staying, so only really used the main bedroom & en-suite. Swimming Pool was really nice to have, relaxing after a day in the parks. There wasn't anything I didn't like about the villa & would definitely recommend this to anybody staying in Orlando. Date  03-01-2011 Rating  Name  Andy Rothers, Warwick.UK Message  "Very comfortable and extremely well furnished" We enjoyed a week at the villa last week, the villa is immaculately presented and extremely comfortable. Everything (and more) needed for the week was there. Location was handy for all the parks and malls (we had a rental car -15 mins or therabouts to magic kingdom), local shops & restaurants (within 1 mile) were good. Date  03-01-2011 Rating  Name  g & H Tucker Canada Message  "Lovely Orlando Home" Our experience renting this home was very good. The home is furnished beautifully and has everything you could want or need. The house is very clean and comfortable and we had no issues or problems. The outdoors are also kept beautiful and we enjoyed the pool to cool off in the heat of the day. Thank you Steve for making our holiday very enjoyable!  1 2   [ next ] [ last ]
