WELCOME TO CHARACTERS CORNER!

Welcome to our Beautiful Disney Vacation Home, located in the elegant gated community known as Formosa Gardens Estates. Our home is located only two and 1/2 miles from Disney. We are the original owners of this home having built it in 2002 and we make every effort to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We have gone to great lengths to take what is the existing luxury standard for vacation homes a step further. We are always constantly in the process of updating and re-furnishing our home to keep things nice and new. Cleanliness is our FIRST priority. We understand that there is a lot of variation in standards with vacation homes and it is our goal to make sure you are happy with our home. We take a lot of pride in making sure your stay is magical! We are very fortunate to have a property manager who lives IN the neighborhood and who will be available in the event that you need any type of assistance or have any issues during your stay. Our property manager only manages a small number of homes and it is for this reason that she is able to take such good care of our home. We have been told by our guests that our home is the cleanest that they have ever rented. :)

Our home offers the following features and amenities: A huge in-ground pool for you and your guests to enjoy, surrounded by a hot tub/spa and a Mickey Mouse kiddie pool which both have waterfalls into the large in-ground pool. The Mickey Mouse pool is 18 inches deep in the center and six inches deep in Mickey's ears. Our pool deck space is extra large in order to accommodate a large group of people comfortably. The pool area also contains a very nice and room outdoor dining area. Make special note of the size of our pool and deck as you will likely spend a lot of time there!

Our home is 3,100 square foot, six bedrooms, four bathrooms and is located on a very large and private lot. Three of the bedrooms are master suites, all with en-suite bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi tub), two twin bedrooms containing two twin beds in each of these themed rooms..one of themed rooms is our POOH room and the other is MICKEY AND MINNIE... and finally the newest bedroom added in April of 2011 is Princess carriage themed and this bedroom has a full sized bed. The Princess bedroom can be accessed through the main master bedroom or the french doors can be locked and there is a separate/private access to this room.

All of our furnishings are top of the line designer, name brand furnishings from companies such as Broyhill, Lexington, Hooker, and of course, the Disney Store! All of our bedrooms will offer either a TV/DVD combination. The family room (which includes a leather sectional sleeper queen sofa ) will include a home theater surround sound system. An assortment of family-oriented DVDs will be provided. The bonus room/master suite offers a king-size bed, along with an extra pull out sofa in the same room.

Our gourmet kitchen, with island and attached eat-in kitchen table area offers all of the comforts of home, and more!! There is a separate formal dining room area, along with a formal living room. Finally, the entire home is equipped with WIFI WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS. Our garage features a fantastic game room with air Hockey, a pool Table and foosball, and of course, there is a washer and dryer located on the first floor for your convenience.

Finally, we invite you inquire about a stay in our home. We are convinced that you will be so happy that you will want to return again and again. We have many guests who come back year after year!

About Heidi LaDuca

My husband, Tony, and I are both attorneys practicing in the Rochester, New York area. We have four children, ages 17, 16, 13, and 5! We have been traveling to Disney for many years and have lots of great suggestions for your trip. I am available to answer any questions you have and would love to rent our home to your family!

Why Heidi LaDuca chose Formosa Gardens

We simply love Disney and the Orlando area in general! There is simply so much to do together as a family!

What makes this house unique

Our home is located only 2 and 1/2 miles from Disney's main gate, 15-20 minutes from Universal/Sea World/Aquatica, and an hour from Busch Gardens! We've done it all and we love it. After a busy day at the park, the kids love to hang out in their themed bedrooms, play in our game room, but most of all, swim, swim, swim! We designed our pool area with a very, very large deck area so there is room for everyone... and then some. I don't think you'll find a pool area like ours anywhere! Check out the photos of our Mickey Mouse kiddie pool... a hit for the little ones!

This was our second stay at this wonderful property. Our family once again thoroughly enjoyed everything this house has to offer. During the day we spent countless hours outside by the pool. It's really a great place to spend a vacation and create great memories. We would highly recommend this house to anyone who is contemplating a vacation near Disney. In fact, we are already planning our next visit sometime in the future. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Awesome Vacation Home!!!

Submitted: April 21, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
All you need to bring is your toothbrush and your swimsuit! The home is decorated beautifully, immaculate, and all amenities you could think of are provided. We call my 88 year old mom a Princess because she is so spoiled so it was very fitting that she slept in the Princess bed. :) My three year old grandson loved the Mickey pool....so the adults could enjoy ourselves without worry. I am a Florida resident but my daughter and 3 grandsons came from Atlanta during Spring break. We just enjoyed spending time together and hanging out by the pool and hot tub and relaxing all week. When it was time to eat we cooked out on the grill a couple of times but when we decided to go out there are numerous restaurants and shopping a mile from the home. We didn't want to go home! Heidi is very sweet to work with. We can't wait to visit again!

Perfect Family Vacation

From the moment we walked in the front door we were happy. The decor was beautiful, the pool area and game room were big hits with the grandchildren, the accommodations were wonderful, and the location perfect for all our Disney outings. We couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience. Our oldest granddaughter wanted to pretend this was our house and they were visiting us in Florida...wouldn't that be great! We will definitely stay here again on a return trip to Orlando.

Perfect for a kids AND parents!!!

5 of 5

My family (which includes a 6 year old and 3 year old twins) stayed for a week at this home with my parents and my brother's family (which includes a 2 year old and 3 year old). I think we were a little skeptical about how "kid friendly" a vacation home can really be but were blown away with the place! We had a blast at this house with all 5 small kids! The bedrooms were decorated with Disney themes and very simple (not a lot of trinkets or items for the kids to damage sitting out!) The rest of the house was very clean and equipped with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay for the week! The game room is huge and had a pool table, air hockey table, etc but we never used these ammenities....however the kids LOVED playing in that large space and it was a perfect play area for them! The pool was beyond all expectations! It was very warm and the perfect size for all the kids to enjoy! The Mickey kid pool was perfect for the littlest ones and the rest of us enjoyed playing in the bigger pool or relaxing next to it! The spa was the perfect way to relax after a day of chasing kiddos around local attractions! Our main concern was the safety of the kids in a new environment with a pool but there were working alarms on every door to the pool area and even a tricky gate that my six year old struggled to open that made sure no children could slip out to the pool area unnoticed! The house was a perfect location. We were close enough to Disney and attractions yet when we were at the home it was very quiet and peaceful away from all the traffic that surrounds the Disney area. The owner was very timely in responding to questions and providing the needed information for our stay. We had a problem with the spa not heating on one day but within 10 minutes of contacting the maintenance people the spa was fixed and back in business! Seriously couldn't have asked for a more perfect place for our busy kids or a more relaxing place for us parents to enjoy the time with our kids! Needless to say none of us were ready to leave at the end of the week and we are ALL counting down the days till we can go back!

We stayed in the house over Christmas break. It was perfect! Large enough for our extended family of 13. Very close to Disney and other attractions.The heated pool was used everyday. The kids loved every minute. The photos were accurate and the house was clean and very well maintained. Would definitely stay here again. Heidi was great to work with. Couldn't ask for anything better. You'll love it! Thanks Heidi!
