Photos and Description of the Sunset Lakes vacation villa rental
Upgrades inc. hot tub/spa, wireless Internet, pool table, granite worktops, safe

'Still Waters', our beautifully-appointed & highly upgraded lake front villa, is a perfect vacation choice if you appreciate luxury & tranquillity, yet want the convenience of being as close as possible to the Orlando Theme Parks, shopping & Golf Courses. The view of the lake from the pool, spa & deck is incomparable, when you sit outside sipping a cool drink in the evening, watching the sun go down, then seeing the moon rise over the water, you will find it hard to believe that you are just 5 minutes drive from the main gates of Disney and the lively Highway 192. The south-facing private pool catches the sun all day long, all year round, but there is lots of cover to escape the sun's rays when it gets a little too warm. This is one of the largest 4 bedroom vacation homes in the Orlando area (2600 sq ft) so there is ample room for 2 couples or families to holiday together in comfort - especially as the 2 king-bedded master suites have identical, very large bathroom facilities.

Swimming Pool, Spa & Deck: The sparkling private south-facing heated swimming pool has been specially designed with a small water feature & tropical planting to create a very pleasing scene overlooking the lake, especially at night with the illuminataed pool and garden lighting. The whole pool & deck area is mesh screened to let the sun in but keep the bugs out. The shaped pool measures approx. 28 x 13 feet, so you can swim or just enjoy splashing about in the shallow end. Pool heating is optional during May - September. A luxurious hydrotherapy hot tub/spa is there for your enjoyment. With its 18 adjustable high performance jets, 7 multi-level seats & underwater multicolour lighting, soaking in the hot swirling water is truly a pleasure after a long day out! The large deck has ample luxury pool furniture for 8 guests, together with a large table & chairs for al fresco dining; the Lanai with ceiling fan, and two large sun umbrellas provide protection from the sun if desired.

An electric BBQ grill is included for your use, a gas BBQ may be hired in at a very low cost.

Summary of Accommodation: The 2 master suites have king-size beds and identical bathroom facilities (twin sinks, walk-in shower, full-size bath tub and separate WC). One of these bedrooms is on the ground floor with direct access to the pool & deck, the other is upstairs with views over the lake. The 2 twin bedrooms upstairs share a separate bathroom which has sink, WC & bath with shower over. One twin bedroom overlooks the lake, the other has conservation views. All bedrooms have been equipped with HD TV/DVD combos, and a Playstation2 games console in one of twins. Downstairs, the accommodation comprises : Living room with professional slate bed pool table; open plan kitchen with granite worktops, casual dining area overlooking the pool; family room with a large flat screen cable TV, DVD & CD player; large sliding glass doors to the pool deck. powder room, laundry room. And of course, one of the master bedrooms as described above. Garage with automatic door opener plus parking on driveway.

Other Features: 'Still Waters' has the benefit of free high speed wireless Internet access, so if you bring your laptop you can use it anywhere in the home - even out on the pool deck- if you need to keep in touch while you're away. You can make free local phone calls from the house, if calling long distance you can buy a pre-paid phone card from the supermarket or pharmacies. A child's travel cot(crib), high chair, stroller & stair gate are provided free of charge if required. We employ a professional and caring management company to look after 'Still Waters' on our behalf, & they are your contact 24/7 in case of any problems arising with the villa.

For your peace of mind, the villa is protected by a monitored alarm system and our guests have free use of a safe for small valuables. Access to 'Still waters' is by electronic key pad, so you just drive straight to the villa on arrival - no need to waste time going somewhere first to collect keys! You may fish from the lake (we provide rods) on a catch and return basis.

Sunset Lakes is a small, prestigious gated community & one of the closest to Orlando's main attractions. It is a mature development of detached pool homes surrounding 2 natural lakes, which attract many varieties of fish & wildlife. Relaxing in the peace and tranquillity of this fabulous location it is hard to imagine that you are just 4 miles from the Main Gates of Disney.

The luxurious homes are minutes away from many golf courses, restaurants and supermarkets. Getting to and from the Theme Parks is easy with this ideal location. You really can visit the parks in the morning, spend the afternoons relaxing by your own private pool & then return to the parks in minutes.

On site there is a communal pool & children’s play area, & you can fish in the well stocked lake. (Bring your own rods). Conservation land adjoins the development creating a natural habitat for the wildlife of Florida.

'Still Waters' has a glorious south-facing location on the larger of the two lakes.

Other Activities: Theme Parks, Golfing, Shopping, Doing Lots or very Little!

Golf: There are around 30 pay and play golf courses within a very short drive of the villa.

We really love this location, being so close to so many things, and the view of the lake is fabulous (Larson, PA).
it was great to return to the villa after a busy day at the parks, knowing that it would be very peaceful and relaxing and within such a close proximity to the main attractions ( Ross, UK). Updated decor and quiet surroundings added to our relaxation so much we stayed four extra days! (StClair, UT). We have stayed at various locations within Sunset Lakes over the years and this was one of the best. (McNairn, Scotland)

This is a lovely villa

Submitted: December 31, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
We were bowled over when we walked through the doors of Still Waters. It was lovely and there wasnt a moment when you were sitting enjoying the peace when you didnt think " this is a lovely villa". The location was quiet, peaceful and felt very private although clearly there are neighbours, not least the wildlife that walked by that added to the charm of the place. The view beyond the pool to the lake made you feel that you were the only family there. It felt very safe and tranquil. Our every need was catered for. I cant remember thinking I wish they had x,y, or z. All that we required from our activities was usually there. We were so near the resorts and this was handy for getting young children back when they became overtired. The kids loved the pool and they developed their swimming skills and confidence in the water. All of this was so much better than our last visit when we were squeezed into bedrooms, living on top of each other, in the Disney resort. The space at the villa allowed a bigger group of us to have our own areas and there wasnt one niggle from anyone. The pool table was a big hit. Remember to take your unlimited drinks cups back to Universal if you visit both parks on different days! We enjoyed eating at the Italian restaurant (I think it was the Olive Garden - Turn Left, beyond Harley Davidson) but try to book ahead or expect a wait. We also enjoyed the Bubba Gump eating experience at Universal. It was a splendid holiday and we will remember it fondly.

Fantastic Lakeside Haven

Submitted: December 31, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
We loved our stay at Still Waters. The villa was extremely comfortable and well equipped and the open plan layout gave it a light and airy ambience. We had an abundance of bathroom and pool towels and the fantastic washer and dryer meant that nothing needed ironing. The pool table proved a great hit with our children of 10 and 8.

Outside, the swimming pool was great and it was lovely to have a lakeside view. We spotted storks, a model sailing boat and even an armadillo waddled past one morning. It was so relaxing to sit on the patio or swim after a busy day at the parks.

The drive to Disney World was very quick and easy, averaging about 15 minutes (and 25 minutes to Universal). There are a number of restaurants and supermarkets on Highway 192 within a few minutes drive of the villa - in fact, everything you need is no more than a few minutes drive. We particularly liked Longhorn Steakhouse and Carrabas. For breakfast on our first day we stopped at Dennys and then shopped at the Publix next door.

I can't really think of anything which would have improved our stay. We hope to return to Florida in a few years and would love to stay at Still Waters again.

Still Waters was the best Villa we have stayed in

Submitted: September 29, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Hi Amanda,

Firstly let me start by saying what an amazing time we had staying at Still Waters! Myself and my parents have been travelling to Florida since 1991 (lost count but about 18/19 visits) and stayed at various hotels and villas. We all agree that Still waters was the best Villa that we have stayed in, ticking all the boxes. The villa was immaculate on our arrival and the location with peace & quiet was perfect. It was a real home from home and a real credit to you. As soon as we got home my parents where checking the availability for next year, and we can see you are already very booked up, and we can see why!

Many thanks for a wonderful holiday, and hopefully we will be staying with you again in the not too distant future.
