Photos and Description of the Lake Berkley vacation villa rental
Villa, 6 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3.5 Baths, (Sleeps 14)

Welcome to our luxurious hi tech 6/7 bedroom, “Lakeview Villa”, set on one of the most beautiful resorts in Florida. “LAKEVIEW” is fully air conditioned and situated on the edge of a private lake in a gated community. It is security guarded 24/7 and is just 10 minutes from Disney!

Our home features 3 spacious MASTER BEDROOMS which all have cable TV and built in DVD facility, ceiling fans and walk in wardrobes. The three further bedrooms comprise of two twin rooms and a double bedroom, again all featuring HD /TV’s with built in DVD facility with ceiling fans and walk in wardrobes, making it an ideal residence for two or three families to vacation together.

We have a completely private pool deck and lanai area with breath taking views over the fishing lake and island. We have no rear neighbours overlooking our beautiful home which allows guests to enjoy the spectacular lake views and wildlife in peace and tranquillity. The Lanai, a covered seating area with it’s own ceiling fan and light, is accessible from the family room and the downstairs master bedroom, allowing guests to sit out at all times of the day or night and enjoy the beautiful waterfront and wildlife.

Our home boasts boasts a vast variety of equipment, including free Wi-Fi, free satellite navigation system, cable televisions, BBQ, Golf clubs and bags, fishing rods and tackle, Play station 3 with gaming chairs, Blu Ray player and tennis rackets for your enjoyment on the resort courts.

Family Room

Our family room is grand, vast and spacious with an open plan aspect. It’s double heightened ceiling adds to the grandeur of the room. All windows, including those which are elevated are mirrored to deflect the Florida heat and compliment our fully air conditioned home. The room is superbly equipped with a 55 inch flat screen HD TV with DVD together with full cable package. The surround sound system and Ipod docking station will enable guests to personalise their music tastes whilst relaxing on one of our real leather comfortable sofas. This room also houses a large dining table that caters for 6 or more diners with ease and is ideal for enjoying meals in a cooler environment whilst still offering great views over the lake and island.

Formal Dining Area

Our large marble edged dining table offers guests a quality and charming place to dine in comfort and style. We have an abundance of china and glassware to enable guests to dine in a splendid environment which is complimented by views from the dining area over the private lake. By featuring an open plan aspect the cook or chef will be able to fully partake in the dining experience without having to leave the room.

Games Room

Our brand new fully loaded games room or 2nd family room, really is the “Bees Knees”. It is impressively equipped with a slate pool table, playstation 3 and gaming chairs allowing games to be played on our large plasma TV. It also boasts a top quality foosball table and sofa bed, should it be required. This room is fully air conditioned together with a ceiling fan for your total comfort and enjoyment, (rather than a hot garage with a pool table and wall fan). We are confident this room will be a paradise for gaming fans and somewhere the whole family will have fun.

Downstairs Master bedroom

Our downstairs master bedroom is dressed to the highest standard; the king sized bed sits within this large room and is fitted with high standard bed wear. Our room features a wall mounted flat screen TV with access to our package. The view from this master bedroom across the lake is just breath taking and the patio doors from the master suite give private access onto the pool deck.

Second Master bedroom

Our second master bedroom is situated on the first floor (of the west wing) with its own private staircase. This again has magnificent views across the lake and has it’s own full en suite, walk in wardrobe and ceiling fan besides cable HD/TV with DVD facility. The king size bed is an ideal place to relax and recharge after a busy day.

Third Master bedroom

Our third master bedroom is also located on the first floor. This contains a large super king size bed which is dressed with the finest linen. It has cable TV/HD with built in DVD facility, a walk in wardrobe and a ceiling fan.

Two Twin bedrooms

Also situated on the first floor are two twin rooms, one of which is Disney themed, displaying all those famous characters. Both of these twin rooms also have ceiling fans with HDtelevisions and built in DVD facility besides walk in wardrobes.

First Floor Double bedroom

Finally on the first floor there is a further double room, this again is impressively presented with HD TV and built in DVD facility with a walk in wardrobe and ceiling fan.

Pool Deck

Our large pool deck is a great place for one to relax, enjoy and have fun. You can look out over the pool and fishing lake with its private island from our covered lanai area which has comfortable seating, entertainment system and ceiling fan/ light. This is an ideal place to escape the Florida sun and enjoy your surroundings without having to go inside. .

The pool deck is also furnished with 5 sun loungers, and a large patio table with chairs and parasols to help enjoy evening cocktails whilst looking out over the pool which is luminated by coloured lighting.

OUR HOT TUB

We have selected unlike most villa owners a 220V Hot tub, rather than the usual 110V tub. The hot tub is brand new as of Feb 2012 and is a 6 seater tub. For your pleasure we have elected for the full ambiance package which consists of..

About Betty

Hello,

My family and I have enjoyed numerous vacations in Florida and have always rented villa's on the Lake Berkley resort. We have visited friends in other resorts but the locality to all the attractions and the fact that Lake Berkley is a secure 24hr security guarded and gated resort really makes Lake Berkley special !!.

There are plenty of other resorts that we could have chosen to stay, and in fact many of our friends did chose the less exclusive, cheaper option. However they were always round at our house and always commented on its 'Superiority' to other resorts.

The very first time I travelled on a plane we came over to Florida..... which was quite late in my life compared to some and we fell in love with the place, the people and especially the resort.

We cater for families that travel from not just the USA and Canada but from all over the world.

We alway keep our house in the best possible condition, with regular visits each year to make upgrades to our already fabulously equipped house. So watch this space for a potential theater room coming very soon !!

Our grandchildren love the place and we are fond of being close enough to the parks to be able to pop back home mid afternoon, have a dip in our pool and then go back for the evening entertainment. A whole 12 hours at the Disney parks can be a little too much for us 'Seniors' !!

The manned 24 hour security gate provides peace of mind for me and my family, and the resort itself is always extremely well kept by the numerous groundsmen who work very hard to maintain the standard we have become used to.

Betty purchased this villa in 2011
Why Betty chose Lake Berkley

We decided on Lake Berkley mainly because of its location to Disney and the other parks. Our home is close enough to pop back from Disney in the afternoon, take a dip in the pool and freshen up before returning for the night time fireworks display.

The resort has a great, fully heated communual pool which caters well for younger children with a smaller pool.

The gym is ideal for a quick workout and again is on site so you dont have to go far.

Also the huge Wallmart is only 3 minutes away in the car and is ideal for stocking up with goodies !

Every time we come accross we are extremely pleased to see how well the grounds are kept. The fishing lake is well stocked and provides a great place for our sons to catch fish whilst we look on from the comfort of our Hot tub overlooking the lake.

What makes this villa unique

***L@@K***L@@K***L@@K***L@@K***L@@K***L@@K***

We feel that our home is unique to many others and provides an excellent way to enjoy your central Florida vacation for the following reasons......

1) We are a polite, friendly and responsive family who ALWAYS reply to any contact we have with our guests within 90 minutes. (Between 0700 and 2200 GMT).

Why anyone would book a home where the owner takes 5-6 hours to get back to them is beyond me ?

2) We offer a FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED games room. NOT just a hot garage with a pool table in it. Our games room includes PS3, Slate bed pool table (Not a $400 table from Walmart) , Gaming chairs and professional foosball table.

3) Our 220V HOT TUB includes a full embiance package which includes MP3 docking station and coloured lighting. We did not opt for the less expensive 110V models like many other homes. Why would you want to waste time waiting for the hot tub to warm up whilst you are on vacation.....time is precious !!

4) We offer a unique lake view looking out over the larger of the lakes are lake Berkley. This lake is the only lake in which the houses that back over it are not overlooked by any neighbours. For guests who DONT want to be watched eating their breakfast alfresco style or enjoying family time in the pool then this villa is for you.

5) We offer a range of extra's to our guests including two sets of

golf clubs, a sat nav unit, high chairs, baby strollers, stair gates and tennis rackets to name a few.

6)Our electronic entertainment equipment includes a full cable TV package,

Flat screen HDTV with DVD players in all bedrooms, a huge 55 inch flat screen TV,PS3, a plasma TV in the games room, blu ray player and Ipod docking station.

WATCH OUT FOR OUR NEW THEATRE ROOM INCLUDING CINEMA CHAIRS !!

A Good Time Was Had By All

All thirteen of us thouroughly enjoyed our stay at your villa. We had six children ages 4-13 years old and seven adults. It was well equipped with everything we needed and more! The stand alone hot tub was a big reason why we chose this place and it was used throughout our stay. When we weren't at Disney, the kids were in the pool, which was set at a nice temperture. Looking out at the lake, fishing, playing tennis and basketball with the equipment that was provided adds to the desire of this villa. Liked seeing the alligator and other wildlife on the island. The game room is better than most. It was nice having a washer & dryer. Betty was exceptionally quick with her responses and the refunding of our security deposit. The security guards at the entrance were helpful and friendly. The Disney theme parks are close and easy to get to. There are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby, but you feel like you are out in the country. We would definitely recommend this villa to others and would stay here again. Thank you Betty for the many extras and the quality of your updates. The Coon Clan

We have recently returned from a vacation in the sunshine state. There was a total of 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 children.

THE ACCOMMODATION was as pictured and described. It was lovely to find out that the house was not run down or living in the 1980's ! From the Large TV in the family room, the hot tub out on the pool deck to the pool table in the games room we could not have asked for anything more.

THE OWNER (Betty) certainly put my concerns to bed having spoken to her on the phone after a few emails were exchanged. It was nice that my emails were responded to promptly and that I was not having to wait a couple of days for a response. Betty clearly enjoys offering her house to others and provides a great service.

THE RESORT is not the cheapest but you really do get what you pay for. The guards on the gate offered our family real comfort whilst visiting a place we were not very familiar with. The resort was very well maintained and we could not fault any part of our vacation away......WE ALL HAD A FANTASTIC TIME !! THANK YOU

A wonderful property in an ideal location. We all had an amazing stay at your villa! The lakeside location is a must for all with even the slightest interest in fishing or wildlife, (Take it from me) the villa was spotless and welcoming with no unwanted surprises. The pool area and hot tub was a hit. Only problem was getting the kids and their grandfather out.
I would without a doubt recommend this property to my friends and family and from all of us a big thank you for keeping it up to date and in a fantastic condition.

Owner's Response: Thank You for being such perfect guests. We would certainly vouch for your family as super holidayhome renters.
We are glad that you liked our hot tub and pool. We completely agree that the view of the lake really is something special and makes a huge difference to the pool deck area.
Thanks again

We found this beautiful home from past experience using the Lakle Berkley gated community in the past. My wife and I brought our son and his girlfriend and our prescious 4 1/2 year old grand daughter.... I can not tell you how PERFECT this holiday/vacation home is... If you DO NOT rent this home!!! you are missing a experience of a lifetime!!! The owners are VERY easy to deal with via phone or email... The hot tub and heated pool are a plus!!! The second floor has four bedrooms and two baths.... (made for a great hide and go seek at night with grand daughter) There was only five of us, but I wanted as much separeation for privacy reasons for my son and his family.. Well... I have to tell you.. We found the right place!!! We will be using this property many, many times in the upcoming future!!!! By the way.. It only took FOUR days to recieve my security deposit back! You can't ask for any better respectful owers.... THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Owner's Response: Firstly you are all more than welcome to vacation in our house again if you ever return to central Florida.
It was a pleasure dealing with you as guests in our home and we are grateful for looking after our place.

TO ANYONE WHO MAY BE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO STAY IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AND WANT TO STAY IN A WELL MAINTAINED HOUSE THEN PLEASE HAVE A READ OF ALL OUR REVIEWS.
WE ONLY DECIDED TO START RENTING OUR HOUSE OUT A YEAR AGO NOW, AND HAVE A COLLECTION OF GENUINE REVIEWS FROM GUESTS. WHEN CHOOSING A PLACE TO STAY I WOULD WONDER WHY HOUSES THAT HAVE CLEARLY BEEN RENTING OUT FOR SOME TIME HAVE VERY FEW REVIEWS. I WOULD SUGGEST IT IS BECAUSE THE PAST GUESTS DID NOT FEEL THE HOUSE WORTHY OF A POSITIVE REVIEW.

We are over to the house again very soon and will be looking to make additional upgrades to the villa for all of our future guests. Should any future guests wish to call and speak with us as the owners then please feel free to call us or send us an email through the contact button so that we can call you back.

This home is hands down the best home we have ever stayed in at Lake Berkley!!! We have been coming to the Lake Berkley area for the past 6 years and this home description is truly understated. This home was a perfect fit for our family of 6. The home is large enough that the kids had their own space and they LOVED the air conditioned, fully furnised with up to date games in the game room. The kitchen worked great for me I was able to prepare meals easily so we did not need to eat out unless we wanted to. We did many activities during the day but could not wait to get home and relax in the very clean pool and hot tub. Very realxing in the late evenings early mornings to see all the different kinds of birds and the kids loved trying to see the alligator out in the water. We had some unique Geese in the front yard a couple of mornings that the kids where able to feed. My parents and my brothers family also had homes in Lake Berkley at the same time and our home was the one that was used every night because by everyone because it was very clean and large enough to accomondate everyone . We are looking forward to booking this home again!!! You will not regret deciding to book this for your vacation.

We have stayed in many Villas, in various locations of Florida over the past 10 years. However; this home in Lake Berkley is definitely one of the best.
Whether you're looking for quiet relaxing holiday or a base, from which to head out each day to the parks, you need look no further. When you view the property on the website, you'll think, this is lovely what great looking place. If your lucky enough to fix a booking, it's not until you actually arrive, you realise the photo's just don't do it justice.
Outside on the pool deck, you'll be greeted with a chorus from the many different species of wild birds. We even had an eagle land on the BBQ, maybe he was keeping an eye on the alligator that lives on the island! Whilst outside, you'll notice how private (not overlooked) the pool area is. So you wont be disturbed when you're sunbathing or relaxing in the hot-tub watching the wildlife.
If you wish to get away from the heat, go inside and have a game of pool in the games room. Many of the other villa's we have stayed in, advertise a "games room" but not like this one. It is fully air-conditioned and carpeted, with a relaxing sofa,table football & TV/play station not to mention the full size pool table. There are also TV's in all the bedrooms, so no fighting over who wants to watch what!
If your in Florida for the parks then you are probably in the best location, only 20 -30 mins away from Universal & all the Disney parks, including Downtown & City Walk. Celebration is only ten minutes away, which has some very nice restaurants. We drove down to Tampa (one Hour) and visited Bush Gardens, dropped the kids off & continued onto Sarasota. (one hour drive)
We had a lovely time here and will try to rebook this villa on our next visit.

We just came back from heaven in Florida!! Two families stayed at Lakeview and we had a wonderful experience! There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room to lounge and enjoy ourselves. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures, right down to the apples on the table. We felt safe in the gated community and that the security people actually checked who was coming and going. The house is only minutes from any restaurant you could want and a short drive to attractions, but we felt that we weren't living in the city. It was very quiet and peaceful. It was ideal that we had our own pool and hot tub, both were used many times a day. We absolutely loved that the house backed onto the lake and not other houses!! We had daily visits from a variety of duck families and enjoyed watching the birds on the island. The few minor issues that we had were promptly looked after by Eileen from Simply Management. She and her husband were both great to deal with. We look forward to coming back again. Hopefully in the near future!! We highly recommend staying here!

This villa was all we expected and more, the listing was totally accurate and the villa was spotless and extreemly well maintained. Betty & Luke were very helpful and our security deposit was returned promptly. We are regular visitors to the area and only wished we could have had the villa for the whole of our stay but you were booked up.... so get in early folks . The games room and all the entertainment in the villa were superb as was the fishing in the lake................you really won't want to leave this villa to go to Disney. As they say we will return ......... hope you won't be booked up .

The perfect base to explore Florida

We had a group of 9 staying at Lake Berkley and can say that this was by far the best Villa I have ever stayed at in Florida. The accomodation was clean, fresh and could not be faulted, we had a few friends visit for a couple of days which made our group 12 and this was still more than comfortable. The facilities were fantastic, especially the games room which provided hours of fun in the evenings when we got back from the parks. We used the fishing rods and golf clubs at a local course (the 'Crooked Cat' at Orange County which I highly recommend), all of which were great.The pool and hot tub were superb so I would advise paying for heating. We visited Disney Parks and Universal/Seaworld etc and this Villa is perfectly situated between them all. There is a local 24hr Walmart where you can get anything you need so really it is difficult to say anything negative at all.For anyone who likes higher end shops I recommend The Mall@Millenia, its great and while you are there you must eat at the Cheesecake Factory, the steaks are great and the Cheesecake is the best. I have stayed at numerous Villas in Florida and this is by far the best so if you want a perfect getaway then this is it. You will not be dissapointed. Betty and her team must be congratulated on both the Villa and the ease of booking, everything was carried out very quickly and proffesionally. I will definitely be booking again on my next visit!!

Owner's Response: We really are please that your group had a great holiday, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy our house. It really is good to know !!My husband has also noted your recommendation for a local golf course....I'm sure he will no doubt have to give it a try.Thanks for letting us know that one of the fishing reels was a little tangled. We have a new spinning rod and reel in the post as we speak. We have found that our guests really do make most of the fishing lake out back, especially the teenagers who can still be seen from the pool deck whilst fishing from the bank.Your family are more than welcome to stay in our house again should you wish.All the bestBetty

Great House, Great Family To Deal With !!

Review Submitted: March 28, 2012Date of Stay: February 2012

We had a great time at the home - plenty of space and wonderful accomodations.

We had a total of eight people staying in the home - our 4 kids plus two of their friends. The kids ages ranged from 22-14. The three boys loved the game room - it was nice to have them have their own space to do their things - like play pool and video games.

We all loved the pool area and we all spent time in the recently installed hot tub - it was a very nice way to relax in the evening - a glass of wine, some music and the flashing hot tub lights. :-)

The home was clean and well maintained and decorated. The neighborhood was quiet with friendly neighbors. The house is situated in a very nice spot - backing up to the pond so there are no neighbors directly behind the home, and the hedges on each side of the patio provide additional privacy.

It was a pleasure working with Betty to plan our stay - she answered all of our questions promptly and in a kind manner. After our booking was confirmed she provided a "tip sheet" summary of the property and surrounding area - that was a nice touch also.

We would definitely stay in the home again if/when we travel back to Orlando - we have already recommended the home to two of our friends that are considering family vacations in the area.

In summary - a great place to stay - a beautiful home with lots of amenities in a very nice neighborhood managed by very nice people.
