This beautiful villa is located less than 5 miles from Disney in the gated resort community of Windsor Hills (the closest pool home community to Disney). Your vacation rental includes access to all of Windsor Hills' amenities free of charge. This includes the community pool and water park.

Welcome to Hogwarts! Our Harry Potter themed house has it all. From rooms representing all four houses to bedrooms dedicated to Hagrid, Dumbledore and Voldemort. The game room has been transformed into Platform 9 3/4 and the pool transformed into an underwater quidditch court!

The Gryffindor dormitory has been recreated in our wonderful home. It features a custom built double over double canopy bed with a hidden top bunk.

Our Beauxbaton room features a double over double castle bunk bed. Walk through the magic portal and step onto another campus with pink skies and fluffy clouds.

The master suite is where Dumbledore rests when he’s not teaching. It has a king size bed, TV, dual sink bathroom, walk in closet, water closet, shower and soak tub.

The Slytherin bedroom has a queen size bed, TV, bathroom and a custom built Nimbus 2001 over the bed.

The third adult bedroom on the second floor is dedicated to Hagrid. It features a king size log canopy bed and wood walls. The room has a direct access door to the third upstairs bathroom (custom built so it’s not like the other 6 bedroom Windsor Hills homes).

The downstairs bedroom is Voldemort’s bedroom. It has a giant tile wall, queen size bed and television. The bathroom is just off the small hallway.

The custom pool features a quidditch court. Yes, your own personal court to practice your quidditch skills.

Enjoy all of the beautiful Florida sun with a south facing pool and spa (it is shaded in the winter due to the retaining wall). The pool has been updated to a saltwater system. Stop swimming in over chlorinated pools that burn your eyes. Saltwater systems use a computer and electrolysis to control pool hygiene. Most vacation home pools are visited by a pool guy once a week that dumps tons of chlorine into the pool so that it lasts until he returns the next week. Those pools smell of chlorine and burn your eyes. A saltwater system is like swimming in saline. The water has a soft and silky feel. Saltwater systems are also better for your skin and hair because the chlorine level is properly controlled. Once you swim in a saltwater pool, you'll never want to rent a non-saltwater pool again.

Since the house is perfectly south facing, the covered lanai offers excellent shade all-day for those who need a little reprieve from the sun's rays. The lanai ceiling fans create a cool breeze when needed. The pool is very private with no rear neighbors. The retaining wall holds back a hillside with nothing but a long driveway 50ft further back on the other side of the hill. There is also a security gate around the pool for safety (rolled out of the way for pictures).

The fully equipped kitchen features granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. There is also a breakfast nook for quick meals before heading to the parks. Counter top appliances include a Keurig machine in addition to the normal coffee pot, kettle, toaster and blender.

The entryway features Ravenclaw’s sitting room. The couches and chairs are the perfect place to gather everyone for a day at the parks.

Hufflepuff is represented in the most used room in the house - the living room. With leather couches and chairs it is a great place to rewatch one of the movies.

The dining room table seats eight students. A highchair is stored in the game room for guests to use during their stay. There are also a pack-n-play and strollers that can be taken to the parks. Connected to the dining room is a furnished living room and bar area.

Finally, no Florida home would be complete without a game room. This is no ordinary game room. This is Platform 9 3/4 station at Windsor Hills. The air-conditioned room includes a private theater and pool table. There is also a washer and dryer for doing any laundry during your stay between the living room and game room.

NOTE: Your safety matters. This property has a Ring doorbell device and exterior security cameras facing the front outdoor entry, driveway and sides of the home. The cameras DO NOT look into any interior spaces. The cameras actively record video when motion is detected by the device or when the video doorbell button is pressed.

OPTIONAL SERVICES (If interested, simply make a note with your booking)

Pool/Spa Heat - $35 per day
BBQ Rental - $80 for stays up to a week, $10 per day for stays over a week long (includes one tank of propane)

The amount of thought that has gone into every detail of this property is amazing. Each room is just full of artifacts and winks to the Harry Potter series. The kids were mesmerized. The place is massive, much more than our four person family needed. I could see 12 people comfortably using this place. The resort has great amenities. We used the pool and slides just about every day (but the pool at the house was great too). Drive times to Disney parks were about 10-15 minutes. Universal was over a half hour, but still not bad. This made for an unforgettable vacation!

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the 9 3/4 Harry Potter villa. The owner responded right away when we had a small issue and we were able to resolve it. We will definitely try to stay again when we visit Florida in the future! The Blackwell’s

We arrived just as the cleaning crew was finishing up, the property manager took the time to walk me through the house and gave me her phone number in case we needed anything. I had spoken to the owner of the property prior to ask that the pool be heated for our stay, he was very friendly and made sure our request was met. As soon as we entered the house even my adult children were, awwww, oooohhhhh at the Harry Potter theme and how well the home was decorated. The little ones loved the castle bed! The pool and hot tub were perfect! The pool cleaning service arrived durning our stay to clean and check the water. This home is amazing and if you have the opportunity, I highly recommend you take it!!!

We stayed a week here with our family of 5 and my in laws at the beginning of April. Getting in and out of Windsor Hills was easy and the location was desirable with a Walmart just down the road. The community pool was very warm and not too crowded, but the slides and kids splash area were unfortunately too cold for my kids, ages 2, 5, and 6. The kids did enjoy the playground there in the mornings. The house was clean and as pictured. We enjoyed the home, but mostly the pool area! We paid for heat and it was great! We used the sit to stand stroller on a couple different occasions and it was so nice to have! We only noticed a few issues that should be addressed around the home, and we talked to Chris about them. He was on his way to the house for some repairs as we were leaving. Overall, we had a great time staying here and would stay here again in the future!

We had a great time at Villa 9 3/4. The house was just as described and Chris was an excellent host. The communication before and during our stay was excellent and he was quick to address questions we had. The property is well kept and the attention to detail on the theme rooms was excellent. Our kids loved it. We would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a Harry Potter themed family vacation!
