lovely large property on private plot with south facing pool

This is our second visit to this particular villa/home, Florida Delight, in Watersong. We have also stayed in two other homes in Watersong, but we prefer Richard’s home because it is truly the best! The home was very clean and well-maintained. The pool area is larger than other homes in the neighborhood, & the pool furniture is not only beautiful, but also extremely comfy. The layout of this home is perfect. The pool was immaculate, as was the sauna, Richard, the owner, is a pleasure to work with, and is very responsive. Lynn at the management company is also one of the nicest people and also very responsive if needed. My husband and I and two adult daughters, one son-in-law and three grandchildren stayed for a week. It was hard to tell which the children loved best, the game room in the garage or the pool. The kitchen is very well stocked and the butler’s pantry has plenty of books and games. However, we stayed so busy. I think my husband was the only one who actually found and read a book. LOL. Richard’s driveway is also one of the largest, and we had no problem accommodating our three large vehicles, a 3500HD GMC dually truck, a van, and an SUV. This trip we found a great place to eat breakfast/brunch close by called First Watch which was awesome! The Villa is also convenient to a local Walmart and Publix close by. We had a great stay and I would highly recommend this home, as our experience with this villa has always been perfect.

We enjoyed the property very much, and if we were to return to Orlando would definitely stay there again. We were very disappointed re the Community 'clubhouse'. i.e. not being open at weekends and closing at 5.op.m. on weekdays. We also were under the impression there was a bar etc available there which there isn't. As we spent many days on our own due to the family being at the Parks it would have been nice to have had a drink other than in the house.

Our family of 11, 3 generations, stayed at this home for a week in December, and enjoyed it very much. Believe the reviews, I do not think we could find any place better near the price. The pool area was large and comfortable, with nice views and privacy. We paid for pool heat witch is needed this time of year. The hot tub got hot and the pool was a very nice temperature all week. We used the games room and the Watersong playground and pool, the pool had a walk in area that was great for small children. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate with all 11 people at the dinning table. The only glitch was the door lock not working with the code I was given when I arrived, but a call for help was handled quickly and I was able to get in. The owners were both very nice and made us feel welcome and important to them. I hope to return some day! Thanks Peter

We stayed at the villa Florida Delight for 10 days over Thanksgiving. What a great stay for Grandpa & Grandma and their two families. Four kids aged 7,8,9,10. This villa provided our family with plenty of space! We used the spa and pool every day. The pool was kept at a great temp and the spa heated within 10 minutes. We really enjoyed the night lights. The family area off the kitchen was also a great hangout area to watch the games and the provided Netflix movies. The pictures don't do justice to how big the family area is! We made Thanksgiving dinner at the villa as well as other meals throughout the stay. We found the kitchen to be well supplied with dishes and cookware. We were very happy for the inside/outside dishes since we had little ones and didn't have to worry about breaking dishes. The villa even supplied "nice" plastic wine glasses to use while relaxing in the spa. The kids loved the two bedrooms with bunks and twin beds and the shared bathroom. Moms & Dads had their own bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Grandpa and Grandma really enjoyed their Master bedroom with large closet and ensuite bathroom. The villa provided plenty of towels and hangers. The washer and dryer were very useful to keep up on the towels. We did a Walmart pickup on our way from the airport for all of the necessary paper products, soaps, groceries and cocktails. We would suggest the Walmart pickup to others for the convenience and savings. There is a Publix very near the villa for extra items, but we found it to be spendy. We went to Old Town, Seaworld, Legoland and Disney Springs. No Disney for us this year (they seem to have lost their magic) Our kids absolutely loved Legoland - no lines! We also did a fishing charter out of Clearwater Beach and caught a large amount of fish. Since we had such a nice house, we were able to cook the fish right at the house - so enjoyable! Richard and Nick were very responsive before and during our stay. They actually called us the day after we arrived to make sure everything was in order. We would strongly suggest the villa Florida Delight to other families. It was a large part of our wonderful Thanksgiving Florida trip.

This property is everything as described. Our family enjoyed the comforts of this home the entertaining areas of this home, both inside and out. The owners of this property were wonderful, and reached out to make sure our stay was enjoyable. I would highly recommend this property if your looking for a well maintained home with complete comfort.

Our family of 8 have not long returned from an 8-night stay at the Villa, all I can say is WOW and that we didn’t want to come home! The Villa is huge, much bigger than it seems on the photos. Firstly, communication with Richard throughout from the initial booking to our arrival in villa was fantastic, he was always able to answer my queries and even gave us a call the morning after we arrived to see that we were all ok and settled and to answer any question we may have had. The Villa had everything we needed and more. There were comfy areas to relax and watch TV, the kitchen and dining area provided lots of space to prepare family meals. All the appliances worked brilliantly and there were plenty utensils, crockery, and dinnerware for a large family. The bedrooms were beautiful, each with their own bathroom and closet, the beds are huge and comfortable, I had great night’s sleep every night! There are TVs in each room with Netflix so all our children were catered for TV wise. Everything is labelled and there are lots of clear instructions on how to use things. The pool/outdoor area was just brilliant. The kids loved it. The Spa was perfect after days walking around the parks very relaxing. There are lots of lovely chairs, sofas and loungers to chill out on, we also ordered a BBQ which was there for us when we arrived. We liked how the pool area wasn’t overlooked by another property. It feels very private. There’s also lots of wildlife around, we even saw racoons! The games room was a hit with the kids who could play air hockey and pool whilst we prepared dinner, also a great area to dry swimwear and trainers etc. The villa is stocked up with lots of towels for everyone and a great laundry set up on the landing which was so useful for us. The complex felt very safe and secure, security on entering and leaving the complex was very professional. There is a Publix supermarket which is a 5 min drive away and also an Aldi another 5 mins along. On returning from the parks one day, we bumped into one of the neighbours who was lovely! She told us there was a Target and Dollar Tree etc 10 mins away too as we’d told her we needed emergency ponchos for the parks! They're so expensive to buy in the parks so this was a great tip. When the rain comes down in Florida, it REALLY comes down. The Disney parks are about 30/40 minutes away and we had no major traffic issues getting to them at all. We would 100% stay here again! Thanks!

This house had everything. Plenty of room, great kitchen and pool area. We got confused on the door lock but easily got in touch with property management to get that settled. We had ourselves, our adult children, and parents and everyone had a good time.

This is the nicest rental where we have ever stayed. It was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. We actually spent most of our time at the property due to one of us undergoing chemotherapy treatments that were unknown at the time we booked. It allowed for a wonderful respite from cancer, and the five kids were never bored because of the pool, game room and many televisions. Richard and his family have thought of everything, and it is all clearly labeled too. We felt very much at home. We hope to return next summer.

A beautiful home, fabulous decor. Very spacious for our party of 8. Everything you need is there. So homely. Lovely bedrooms, plenty of towels. Love the pool and space around it. Lots of comfortable seating. Great location in a gated community. Mr & Mrs Marsh were very attentive & helpful. A fabulous holiday and we would definitely recommend Florida delight

This property was exactly as advertised. Perfect for our family of 10 (7 adults, 3 kids). Large seating areas, dining options, pool was great. Other than the traffic getting to Disney and Universal, very good location, close to stores, shopping, etc. Had a small problem by getting the propane a day later than the grill (which needs to be updated/upgraded) but management company and owner's response was immediate and helpful. One suggestion-have the bedroom tv's be able to "hook up" to local channels, kind of inconvenient for anyone who wanted to watch "network" tv.

We were here Jan 2022. Upon walking in to the property, the smell of a recently cleaned home filled the air! The furnishings are all very comfortable and the decor is beautiful! The mattresses are all very comfortable! I would suggest heating the pool and hot tub! Perfect after a day at the parks! The only issue we had was there were not enough towels and after speaking to the owner, brand new towels were brought the next day! Nicola and Richard are VERY responsive! The rugs in the home upstairs are a cream color and are showing wear and several stains here and there. This did not take away from our experience at all! The house is very very clean! Updated and warm and homey and very comfortable!! The pool area is a huge plus and plenty of room for everyone!! We will be back someday for sure!!!

Owner was great to work with-super responsive. Location was very nice- close to Publix and parks. Pool and spa was a very nice home base to relax after the parks….definitely worth paying to have the pool heated!

All the details were right. Very clean. Exceptional spa. Very caring owner. We had a blast!

Beautiful, spacious rental with top of the line furnishings. Owner was so very kind and checked on us to make sure we settled in nicely. We visited Disney every other day and relaxed at the rental by the heated pool and played a variety of board games provided. My whole family was happy with the accommodations. We will highly recommend this rental and will also stay again ourselves. Thanks, April, Mario and Family

Small problem with the rear door lock and the alarm would not reset but other than that the property was fantastic.

This home was better than we expected! The pictures don't do it any justice It was beautiful, huge, and in a great location! We go to Florida quite often and I think we found our forever vacation home. We can't wait to go back we had a little issue with the door not locking but the property manager had someone bring us a key for the home right away. Also the alarm system didn't want to work that well so we tried calling the number provided for us if we needed anything but given it was a Sunday no one answered but that was ok. My favorite place to be in the house was the jacuzzi it was so relaxing it was just what I needed. The beds were a little hard but that was ok. Everyone had more than enough room they also had their own space. We all enjoyed the home we definitely will be back to stay in that house again I highly recommend staying in this location

Lo recomiendo ampliamente y me encantaría volver a quedarme allí.

We rented this beautiful home in the beginning of October so we could accommodate the family. We went to Disney as well as Universal and both areas were not that bad of a drive. Universal was the farthest away from the home. This house had everything you could need. The kitchen was stocked with cooking items,there was pool towels, towels for all bathrooms, and sheets and blankets. Also highchair and ports play pen if needed as well. There is a Publix right down the street that closes around 10 pm. It was very convenient to use as we got in late and needed to get food for the house as soon as we arrived. They will come and place the trash can to the curb when it’s close to trash day. Overall these house is huge and will accommodate a big family easy . The only thing we didn’t like was the TVs had 2 remotes and some of the TVs upstairs worked and others didn’t. It would be nicer to have cable or a satellite where you turn the tv on and there it is. We had to maneuver through different screens to just watch the news. We will rent here again. Thank you again for letting us rent your home. ThePolendey’s

We took our family of 10 and stayed here for a week. This home is beautiful and spacious! There was enough space for everyone to be together and enough space to have to yourself if you needed some relaxing alone time. The pool was great to have on site. Host was very accommodating and responded quickly to any messages ( they even called to see how everything was going!) I would stay again and would highly recommend to others.

I love this house! Our family of five adults and three children had a wonderful time staying in this home. This house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our family. We loved the pool and the minimal additional cost for the hot tub was well worth it. The owner was very gracious and responsive. There were no negatives to report. Everything about this rental went perfectly and we were all extremely pleased with all aspects of our rental experience. The only complaint I have is that our week went by so fast! We had a great time and even though it rained several days, we had plenty to do in the house from the games in the garage, the multiple TVs, two large living areas gave us plenty of room to spread out and find a quiet place to read a book & I could go on & on. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. Everyone had their own bathroom.. There were two master bedrooms which worked out perfectly. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this beautiful home.

this property was so beautiful. we loved the minimalist but elegant designs and decor. the owner was attentive and very communicative. if there were any drawbacks, i would only give 2 reasons... 1. the internet could have been a lot better considering the amount of devices that were in the house. I would recommend gig speeds for this property. 2. permanent exterior lighting with a switch. we hung outside during the night by the outside couches and we kept having to wave our arms around just to get it to turn on for another 10 seconds. other than these 2 drawbacks, this place was amazing! thanks!

We were 10 of us at one point. Two families. Within 40 minutes of attractions. Beautiful outdoor space with plenty of seating. That is what drew us to this home. Not so much the gated community. The home decor is beautiful and again plenty of seating for entire party. Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Laundry on top floor was convenient. Any issues were addressed timely. Would definitely recommend. I suggestions I have are made to the owners for future guests to enjoy the property even more. Great stay!!! Michelle B ... Rhode Island and family

This house was stunning! We had a minor problem with the pool upon arrival (at 11 pm) and it was being fixed at 7:00 am the next morning. The house had everything you could possibly need. There were 12 of us and plenty of room to stretch out and have our “own” space. We particularly loved the family room set up as we would gather nightly for a movie. Communication with the owners was amazing! I would definitely recommend this house!!

Our family had a great stay at the Florida Delight. Everything from check in to check out went very smooth. The entrance to the community was quick and easy. The villa was exactly as pictured, which was perfect for our family of 8. The villa is located in good proximity to all attractions, as well as Publix and DG (which is a plus)! We would definitely recommend this villa and would stay here again in the future.

Plenty of space for my family. Pool very relaxing.

The check in process was easy, the house was beautiful and just as described. The pool was green and green sludge on the sides and the bottom. The pool guys showed up before I could even call. They were working on the pool, never informed us if we could use the pool before they left, and left a hose running into the pool. We were able to use the hot tub that evening. We contacted the owners who responded and emailed management. We also called management who told us they were aware and the pool guys would be back on Sunday, they never showed up until Monday!! There is a pool cleaning chart near the pool and the pool had not been serviced in 12 days. When looking for a place a pool was our biggest thing we wanted with having children it was going to be the easiest walking out the back door to a pool. So this was a huge disappointment to all our visitors. It eventually did clear up, and we got some use out of it, we also used the community pool which was a little bit of a inconvenience but the community pool was very nice!! I don’t blame the owners, I blame the pool guys for the pool turning green due to not servicing it in so many days. All private pools around us were crystal clear. Everything else about the stay was excellent. A few minor things I’m sure the owners took care of after we left because we didn’t report them until the end of our stay. The hair dryers didn’t work properly, and the ice machine didn’t make much ice. These were minor and we just bought our own ice and shared the hair dryer that worked. A few of our family members said there was no cable tv only Netflix and Amazon prime. Overall we had an amazing vacation and would stay here again. Thank you for letting us rent your home.

Really enjoyed staying @ this villa, nice quiet neighborhood and we had everything we needed in this facility. Very spacious it was a total of 9 adults 1 child and 1 baby and we all had more than enough room. We were also very close to everything so that was also an plus.

Had a great stay. House is beautiful, owners were extremely helpful and responsive. Pool was perfect. It's a little far from the Orlando attractions, but we knew that going in. Had an issue with the internet during our stay but the owners were extremely responsive and it was fixed quickly.

Stayed end of April, 2021 for about 10 days. Neighborhood and house were immaculate and spacious. Plenty of room for our group of 8 to spread out and relax. Pool and hot tub were relaxing and refreshing. Owners were very and attentive and accommodating to the few issues that we did have. House is a little further out from the Disney madness than some but was still convenient enough to meet our needs. Would highly recommend!

We had a very nice stay in Davenport. The house was very nice. It was well kept and the owners were very responsive. Everything went smooth from booking through the final departure. My only minor critique was the cleanliness of the pool. Davenport had some storms before we arrived, and the pool had some dirt at the bottom. Owners were responsive, but even after the pool guy came, the dirt remained. I don't blame the owners, I think the pool guys probably were overwhelmed. I still rate the overall house experience 5 stars.

After a long 2020 we decided to rent a huge house for the whole family to meet at for a long over due vacation. We stumbled on this house by chance and we are so fortunate that we did! You never know what you are going to get in a property rental so there is always some hesitation. However, from the moment you check in with the polite guard at the gated entry til you pull up to the house for the first time we were blown away how beautifully maintained and manicured the grounds are. As soon as we entered the HUGE, smartly decorated interior those reservations were put to bed and our vacation was officially started. The house was immaculately clean and the layout was calm and inviting. We had our groceries delivered through instacart so we were able to let the kids jump right in the pool as soon as we got there while we unpacked. There is an abundance of closets, storage and space! The upstairs closet was filled with tons of pool and house towels and they were of great quality. It took a little bit of figuring to get the TV to work and get all of our devices connected to the wifi but the big white book that contains a TON of information about the house was extremely helpful. The first morning we were in the house the owner actually called from the UK to welcome us and make sure everything was acceptable to our liking, this put a very personal touch to the rental, knowing that we were renting from people, not a nameless faceless company. This became apparent as the coffee maker broke the 2nd morning and it was replaced by noon with a brand new one! We spent several days at the community pool as well. This was just a beautifully maintained as the rest of the property and the staff there offered utensils for our lunch and any assistance we might need during our stay. We had 12 people in our group and there wasn't a single moment that we felt crowded or on top of each other. It would have been nice to have a few things included like coffee filters, trash bags, dishwasher soap and a few rolls of paper towels but I would never expect this at a rental. All and all if my family or anyone I know is going to vacation in Orlando I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Thank you for a beautiful place to host a much needed getaway!
