About Peter

Hi there!!

We are a family of five who love everything Florida and Disney!! In the case of our younger two Universal as well! We live in a cottage in Dorset in the UK (famous for its cream teas and unspoilt countryside) and Pete and I both work full-time so it is great to get out to forget everything at our villa in Florida. When we are there, we tend to like to do the parks early then come back to relax in the villa in the afternoons. Pete and I like Epcot, Alexander (our eldest) loves Magic Kingdom, Laura likes Animal Kingdom and Jamie loves Blizzard Beach, especially Summit Plummet. We all love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter And we all love shopping!! Pete was brought up in London, whereas I grew up in Coventry, but have my roots from the north of the country. We have a dog called Abbott who we rescued - sadly he can't come with us - but he is great fun and loves everyone including other dogs. The kids all go to the local schools in Dorset.

Peter purchased this villa in 2011
Why Peter chose Windwood Bay

We had stayed in Florida in numerous villas and it seemed right to buy a place here. We used to stay in Kissimmee but found the Championsgate area by accident and much prefer it. It has much easier access to the parks and it is also still growing so each time we go there are new developments and it is great fun discovering new places. Windwood Bay is a really lovely estate, very quiet and safe but also friendly. What we liked about the houses compared with the others we stayed in is that the rooms are lovely and large. The master bedroom is especially spacious. The other thing is that we have the pool facing south which is what you need in the afternoons and evenings. The property has real character and a lovely clean feel about it. It really is a truly executive and luxurious home. All you really need to bring are your clothes and toiletries - everything else is here!

Although we can wax lyrical about the parks, the Championsgate area is also at the centre of the golfing area and you have loads of golf courses to choose from. Championsgate is right next to the i4 so you have really easy access to the airports, Tampa and Clearwater as well as the turnpike to Miami and the Keys without needing to go on the increasingly busy highways!

What makes this villa unique

One thing about the villa is that you will not get bored - you will run out of time with things to do. One of our guests decided to start a tournament because you have the pool table, basketball (which is very popular), table tennis and air hockey as well as the X-box Kinect so there are loads of competitive games. There are TVs in each room if you're not feeling quite so energetic as well as a PC and PS/2. We decided to give the villa a bit of a fun theme for the kids, but equally we left some plain bedding for the adults who are not so much into Harry Potter or Mickey Mouse! Then of course there is the pool with a shaded verandah to cool down with a drink in the Florida heat. We can't wait to go again!!

There is no other word to describe our vacation except FANTASTIC. I was terribly worried about renting a house as I had never done this before. I did contact Gillian & Peter & they were wonderful & very reassuring. They are very proud of their home & rightly so. It is beautiful, tastefully decorated & very, very spacious. the king bedroom w/ensuite has a closet large enough to make into a small bedroom. The bedroom on the main floor is a plus if there is a mobility issue. Space in this home is not a problem. There were 8 of us & if one wanted to be alone, other than the family room, there was the formal living room, the den upstairs or the patio. The games room was used by all and believe me you are never too old to play ping pong. There is a Publix store five/ten min away along with restaurants, liquor mart & gas stns. The home is close to all parks, especially disney. We never got lost as coming out of parks, etc., all we booked for was I-4 Tampa West & got off at Exit 58. The home is managed by Sue & Doug who also are very, very accessible & helpful. Any questions/concerns were dealt with & solved promptly which we greatly appreciated. I would & have recommended this home to friends. A special thank you to Gillian/Peter for your home & for Sue/Doug for your assistance.

Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely villa. We have rented a number of villa's over the last 15 years and this has been the most spacious. The photo's do not do justice to the size of the rooms. Being so close to the I4 it does not take long to get to any of the parks. We will definitely be returning.

Dear Gill,

I have just returned from a weeks holiday in Orlando and wanted to write to say thank you for such a fantastic stay at at Windwood Bay Villa.  The property was an ideal location for the family and we really enjoyed our stay.

The Villa is beautifully decorated and the children especially appriciated the themed bedrooms and games facilites provided.  The pool was excellent and just the right size for my young children.  These finishing touches really do make the difference between your property and others where we have stayed

The house has all the facilites that we could have needed including wireless internet, washing faciliites and a very well equiped kitchen and dinning area.  The spaciuos hose was great and we could have easily welcomed another family.  I think the property will be ideal for our next trip where we aim to travel as a party of 10!

I thoroughly reccomended this property to anyone thinking of travelling to Orlando.  It's quite and traquile location is matched by its close proximitly to Walt Disney World (15 mins max) and other must see attractions.  The supermarket and facilities around the corner were ideally located and used extensively throughout the stay.

Thank you again for a wonderful holiday,  we look forward to returning again soon!

Kind regards

We stayed at this beautiful pool home March 2012. There was 6 adults and two children. The home was huge with plenty of room for everyone and had everything we needed plus more. We travel to florida every march for vacation and so far we have been most pleased with this home. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was great and had sun all day. There was plenty of lounge chairs around the pool. The kids loved the basketball nets in the garage and the pool table. If I had any critque at all it would be that we wished there had been a playground near by. This certainly would not deter us from staying at this house again though as the positives definitely outweighed the lack of a playground. The location was also very convenient to shopping and all amenities. Best of all the owners were very easy to deal with. They answered our questions right away and were very accommodating. They went out of their way to mail us some drink coozies that we had left behind. Highly recommend! We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Gill

Three retired couples from Western Kentucky spent a refreshing week away in Florida the first week of February, 2012. When selecting where to stay I went to Vacation Rentals By Owner (VRBO) and found just the right place, the 5 Bedroom, 4.5 Bath residence in Windwood Bay, Davenport, Florida. VRBO has been a most rewarding experience and the properties, particularily this one, are well presented and accurate. Several amenities about this Luxury Villa had our interest from the beginning. The local convenience, the three master suites, the large and comfortable seating areas, the game room, and well equipped kitchen just to name a few. The accomodations are beautiful, quiet and relaxing and the owner and Mgmt Agency pleasant and a joy to communicate with and do business. If you plan to visit Central Florida in the future, by all means, search VRBO and in particular this property (#378192). This was our first experience with a vacation home rental as we heretofore stayed in a motel. No longer true and from now on should our next visit be to Central Florida this would be the residence of our choice. Thanks Gill, Pete and Keith and regards....

I have been to Orlando several times, each time renting a villa in preference to staying in a hotel. This has simply got to be one of the best! Why?
- Equipped to the highest standard with every amenity you could wish for.
- Location is spot on: short drive to all the theme parks/restaurants but peaceful and quiet on a private estate well away from any main roads.
- South facing …. Yes it is important!
- Great games rooms, pool, hot tub (you pay a small fee for heating the pool).
- Decorated to the highest standard and all the furniture is high quality.
- You can land a helicopter on the master bed!
- Enough space to comfortably accommodate 3 families without feeling claustrophobic.
Don’t hesitate… you will not regret it.
