This was one of our favorite houses we have stayed in. Can make it to walmart in just a couple minutes and avoid all busy streets. We paid to heat the pool which was great. Owner is a sweet lady. Thanks for your wonderful house. Much needed getaway.

Madeleine was extremely friendly and helpful at all times throughout our planning and stay at the villa. Any issues were dealt with as soon as possible. It was a good base for a family gathering and clearly loved by Madeleine.

We took our whole family and everyone had a great time. The house is just like being at home. Everyone enjoyed the pool and fishing and you feel safe there. This was our second time visiting and are looking forward to going back next fall!!!

Loved the property and the location

Unfortunately, we had to cut our vacation short due to a death in the family, however we loved the time we did get to spend here! The home was beautiful as well as the view of the lake. Great location close to Disney World! Would definitely love to come back and would highly recommend!

Not only is the house great, pool and jaccuzzi great, and all amenities fantastic, but Madeleine is the perfect person to rent from. Prompt, responsible, never a hiccup, and very reachable. Definitely worth staying here.

Beautiful home clean and comfortable with enough room for us all to have some space.

We (a family of 6 with 4 adults and 2 teenagers stayed at Southview Easter week as a base to explore Orlando and visit the parks. From booking onwards we were assisted by the owner Maddie in impeccable fashion, read the reviews, its for real, this lady has a passion for her dream home and is an absolute delight to deal with, she really does go the extra mile to ensure that you have the very best chance of enjoying your stay. The property itself is outstanding, spacious, clean and equiped with so many extras that make a stay special right down to the fishing rods on the wall in the games room so that you can try your hand in the lake. If i could pick up Southview and drop it at home i would happily live in it for good! Ideally placed with easy access to the parks and just over an hours drive to the beach, yet close enough to numerous eateries and supermarkets all of which are clearly detailed within the house guide. As its name suggests the villa is indeed South facing and the pool area benefits the gorgeous sunshine for so much of the day. This was our first trip to Orlando but suffice to say that if returning we would not consider anywhere else to stay. Top tip ... take a ride out to Boggy Creek and get yourself an air boat ride to see the Gators up close and personal !! Many thanks Maddie for allowing us to share yours and Dennis's dream home, however could you please arrange for fish to jump on hooks, i sat on Dennis's bench for hours and they just don't like me !!!

Plenty of room and great location! We really enjoyed the outdoor area and would come back again!

We really loved our stay! Madeline was so responsive to any request or need we had. We loved having all the extra space for our family to spread out and the private pool couldn't have been more enjoyable. We will definitely recommend your home to others! Thank you!!

We had a fantastic vacation and very comfortable accommodations. The house was very spacious and beds were comfortable. The owner (Madeleine) was very responsive and helpful with any questions I had; really enjoyed talking to her on the phone. Only thing I would add to the property is another guest book; seems like everyone has enjoyed their stay and you need another book so folks can continue to write about their visit; there was no room for us to write. Again...we had a wonderful experience and we would recommend this house to all. Thank You!

We want to thank Maddie for allowing us to use her beautiful home. My husband and I treated our three adult children and our daughter-in-love to a trip to Disney and Universal in December and were able to use this beautiful property. Everyone had their own bedroom and bath and there is tons of room to spread out. The best part of this experience was dealing with Maddie. She is a total sweetheart and so accommodating and I feel that I made a new friend. The house had every amenity we could possibly use and was well decorated and clean. The guys enjoyed fishing right outside our door and I sat on Dennis's memory bench as I promised Maddie I would do. We highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the Orlando area. It is very convenient to the parks and has tons of shopping and restaurants within a few minutes drive. Many thanks to Maddie for treating us as her guests even tho she was far away in England. She is only a phone call away if you have any questions or issues and she responds within a few hours or even minutes. We only needed one minor thing done while we were there and it was attended to right away. Thank you Maddie!

Southview is an excellent choice to stay for a family vacation. We had a group of 11 and there was plenty of room to comfortably entertain and sleep everyone! We really appreciated having our own private pool and spa for those late night or early morning swims, although we could use the Club House pool as well if we wanted. The view was spectacular! It was so nice to wake up with our morning coffee and enjoy a serene lakefront view. The kitchen was fully stocked and it was also great to have a full size grill for cooking. The home had plenty of bath and beach towels, and there was a huge washer and dryer. The development and grounds were well kept and it was nice to be in a place that had 24-hour security. The home was only a 2 minute drive to a 24-hour Walmart, Wawa, and several fast food restaurants or other services. You could also easily walk to these as well! Maddie provided excellent directions to the home from the airport, to Disney and other attractions in the Orlando area. We had such a relaxing and wonderful time! We can't wait to come back again!

Based on all the reviews and the owner's responsiveness, I booked this house with no hesitation. The location is prime as it was a close drive to Disney, Universal, Premium outlets and other locations. The furthest drive we had was Legoland which was a close 40 minutes away. The home is stocked nicely, has everything you need. Also has fishing rods, tennis racquets for outdoor activities. We were a group of 6 adults and 4 children and we were very comfortable. We were cold one day and I sent an email out to Maddie, within a few minutes she responded and the property manager adjusted the heater. The owner's responsiveness and concern that you are comfortable are big bonuses on this property. I would book this place again without hesitation. Thanks for the hospitality Maddie! It was a wonderful experience!

Lovely home in a quiet subdivision. Beds were extra comfortable. Will stay again!

Hello Madeleine: Just want to tell you that we had a wonderful week in your beautiful house! We all loved it and enjoyed ourselves so much! The weather was great, no rain, but it was hot. The pool was wonderful. And we especially loved how the pool lit up and changed colors in the evening. The week went by quickly and no one wanted to leave! All in all, the week was amazing. Thanks for all your help. We truly enjoyed staying in your home!! Marj

Just reaching out to let you know we had a wonderful visit to Orlando. Your home was the perfect home base. It was comfortable and provided a wonderful environment for the kids...we used the tennis court, basketball court, pool table, video games, pool, hot tub etc. Thanks a million!! Blair

It was such a relaxing week! We felt right at home and so enjoyed our time at Southview. Your attention to detail really does set you apart from many! I wish you the best and thank you again, so much, for opening your home. Take care of you.....Kay
