SUPERB VILLA
Submitted: May 19, 2010
Stayed: April 2010
For us the villa helped make the holiday special, it was clean and comfortable and we felt at home straightaway as we had everything to hand. All was as described in the ad. On the lazy days we had and early mornings and late afternoons it was so relaxing to sit by the pool watching the wildlife around the lake and soaking up the Floridian sunshine, taking a dip every now and again to cool down from temps up to 35C. The pool is a very decent size. Indoors the air conditioning and ceiling fans were much appreciated. As the whole of the rear outside area is covered with mesh we weren't bothered by a single insect and had no bites (which is a first). We ordered a Sat Nav with the car hire and this made life so easy, but the situation of the villa gives easy access to the main arterial roads. We took a trip to Clearwater on the gulf coast (beautiful white sands) and it was very easy driving. Most roads are as wide as our motorways in the UK - some of which have villas backing onto them, which made us appreciate more the peaceful setting of this one. The wi-fi was a great bonus and we made good use of it to look up various attractions etc, and on the last day ordered a takeaway breakfast from the local Denny's Diner next to Walmart. We ate out there too during our stay and great value for money, nice food and very friendly staff, as were all that we encountered. To be able to use the land-line was very convenient and we were able to purchase a telephone voucher with unique pin no. for $2.35 that had been left ready for us in the property, which gave up to 8 hours call time to UK, it could be used from a call box too. We would recommend Gatorland which is close by, a very enjoyable, fun day out but also interesting. The Cirque du Soleil show at Downtown Disney is absolutely fantastic. We also did The Boggy Creek airboat ride which was an exhilarating half hour trip. A fair way out but you go through nice countryside to get to it. We would recommend the villa to anyone.
