Overview
After viewing many villas in various communities within the Disney area we eventually found what we were looking for in the prestigious Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club. Situated conveniently on the highway 27, Southern Dunes, which is a manned gated community, is in a perfect position for accessing the many attractions and shopping in the Disney/Orlando area. We can now also boast being very close to the new Legoland which incorporates Cypress Gardens and a water park. We are also in a great position for joining the I4 therefore getting to the Disney attractions is very easy. Busch Gardens in Tampa and both the Gulf and Atlantic coast beaches are also very accessable.
Our villa is our pride and joy and we very much want to share it with you. We want you to enjoy staying in it so much that you will want to return. With it's HD television and HD cable tv, free high speed wireless internet, full air conditioning throughout, telephone with free calls within USA and Canada, 4 bedrooms, 2 sitting areas, 2 dining areas, the all important utility room, games room, 2 bathrooms, and most importantly the large, heated swimming pool you will find this has it all. It is furnished to a very high standard with many extras including hairdryers, tv's in all bedrooms, etc., It is extremely child friendly. Not only do we have a travel cot and highchair at no extra cost, we also have a security fence at the pool which can easily be taken down if not required. We regularly buy new bedding, towels and those little extra things to let our guests know that we care.
Whether you are looking for that family villa with a special touch, the perfect tranquil villa for a romantic getaway or that all important golfing holiday then our villa is for you.
RELAX
As you walk through the front door you will enter the 1st seating area which has an open plan formal dining area. The 2nd seating area is at the rear of the house and has beautiful large patio doors leading onto the pool. Here you will find our television with HD cable tv and DVD player. Both areas have magnificent vaulted ceilings.
BEDROOMS/ BATHROOMS
The villa has 4 bedrooms. 1 master bedroom with a beautiful super king size bedroom suite with patio doors leading to the pool and a newly renovated en suite bathroom/shower room, a second queen bedroom and 2 twin rooms. The 2nd Queen room and the 2 twins share a bathroom/shower room/toilet which has also been newly renovated. Some may argue that a 3rd bathroom would be desirable but we find what we have is more than adequate with never a complaint from our guests. As a matter of fact we chose this set up as it means more space in other parts of the villa. All bedrooms have built in wardrobes and smart televisions.
PLEASE NOTE THAT, ALTHOUGH THE VILLA SLEEPS 8, WE ONLY ACCEPT A MAXIMUM OF 6 GUESTS.
KITCHEN/BREAKFAST BAR/UTILITY ROOM
Our beautiful, newly renovated kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need during your stay. All utensils, crockery, etc., are in perfect/new condition. There is a large American fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave & cooker.
Next to the kitchen is a 2nd dining area.
We also have that all important utility room leading from the kitchen which has a large washing machine and tumble dryer.
GAMES ROOM
The double garage houses a pool table with a table tennis top, a fantastic cross trainer, a dart board, chairs, a selection of books and 2 bikes for you to use at your leisure. When the sun moves away from the pool area in the late afternoon/evening the garage doors can be opened. Here you can bask in the sun using the chairs we have in the garage.
INTERNET
The villa has high speed wireless internet which can be accessed by multiple users.
THE POOL
In our opinion the most special part of our villa is the large pool which has been fully renovated. With clear blue water and a lovely outlook you will want to spend hours here. We have plenty of top quality comfortable sunbeds for you to relax on and a dining table and chairs. If you want to sit in the shade or cool off there is a shaded area with an overhead fan/light. We find it very peaceful to sit out by the illuminated pool at night. Pool heat is available during the cooler months.
SOUTHERN DUNES
Southern Dunes is an exclusive community of top quality homes set amidst a fantastic 18 hole golf course designed by Steve Myers and ranked in Florida's top 10. You can pay and play, book on line or purchase a monthly membership. There's something for everyone at Southern Dunes - a community pool, a gym, tennis courts, kids swing park, beautiful walks, fishing in Lake Joe (you will need your own line & tackle and be mindful of the resident gators !), banks, gas stations and much more. Tavern on the Dunes is located in the 12,000 square foot clubhouse and is the perfect place to have breakfast, lunch & dinner or to simply unwind after an enjoyable round of golf. Happy hour is from 4.00pm to 7.00pm 7 days a week (may vary) in the newly renovated bar that features 7 TV's and with the help of Direct TV they are able to offer a variety of your favourite sporting events i.e., Golf, NFL, College Football, NHL, MLB and much much more !! For up to date information visit www.southerndunes.com.
New at The Tavern on the Dunes is 'The BARN' which is a new Smart Target experience where you can book Top Tracer bays. It provides a full bar & menu as well as Corn Hole, Fire Pit, and an illuminated Putting Green to round off this entertaining venue. The Barn offers a welcoming ambiance where guests can relax, unwind, and savor the flavors of an unforgettable experience.
LOCAL AREA
Within walking distance of the villa you will find a 24 hour Walmart (you may want to take the car if it's a larger shopping list), a Winn Dixie, a Chinese take away and various restaurants such as the usual McDonalds, Checkers, etc., Our biggest claim to fame is Manny's Chop House where you will have not just a meal but a dining experience. Manny's has a phone ahead booking service and is so different from the usual American diners. Take a look at www.mannyschophouse.com. As you exit Southern Dunes and drive along the Highway 27 you will find many restaurants such as Beef O’Bradys, Appleby's, Cracker Barrel, Grand China Buffet, Perkins, Denny's, Bob Evans, Hungry Crab, etc.,
Not far from our villa, on the I4 going East, you will find the Disney attractions and on the I4 going WEST you will find various places of interest such as The Museum of Flight, The Water Skiing Experience, Dinosaur Land aswell as Legoland as previously mentioned. If it's hiring a fishing boat that takes your fancy or trying out the experience of firing a gun at a gun range then look no further.

Myself and my partner came here for the first time a couple of weeks ago for 12 nights with our 4 year old and absolutely loved it. The Southern Dunes itself is a lovely, peaceful and well looked after estate, you wouldn’t know once in there that you’re next to the highway, which conveniently has absolutely everything you need from Walmart, fast food, restaurants, pharmacy and much more right on your door step. The staff on the gate are very friendly!! We were able to travel to Orlando within 30 minutes and around 2 hours for several beaches. The villa was immaculate, spacious, well kept, very cosy and has everything you could need. The master bed was extremely comfortable!! We paid for heating with the pool which worked a dream, it was warm enough to swim in all hours of the day without getting cold.
The communication from the owner was brilliant, Carolyn is quick to respond and so lovely! Her team that manage the villa on site were also so approachable and couldn’t do enough to help when we had any enquires.
Overall couldn’t recommend this Villa more and we will definitely be rebooking for our return to Florida!

Beautiful villa could not fault it, over the years we have stayed in quite a few properties in Southern Dunes and without a doubt this is by far the best, every thing you could possibly need is in the villa would highly recommend it
David
The villa was lovely located on an excellent resort with a golf course which I played on. The pool was excellent and we used it every day. The beds were comfortable, the games room well supplied with pool, table tennis and darts. The villa was clean and very well presented. Even though it was a bit further out than we usually stay we could still get to the Disney parks easily and had food outlets and a supermarket very close by.
Karl
We arrived at the villa and as soon as we opened the door there was an instant WOW factor. The villa was spotlessly clean and well laid out from the kitchen to the bedrooms and pool area. Everything advertised was there and available. The mattresses and seating cushions were extremely comfortable (I say this having slept on some well used ones in other villas) The communication with the owner prior to arrival was second to none. I would recommend this 8 birth Villa to anyone and Hope to stay here again. Thank you Carolyn for a fabulous stay. Karl and Justine
John
The villa was just excellent you can clearly see the owner has been updating the property never had a problem with contacting the owner who very quickly replied to any questions or queries I had couldn't have been anymore helpful the whole villa was very clean spacious couldn't fault it the pool was a nice size and was certainly warm enough without being heated I would certainly recommend anyone to stay there and would definitely go back there
Scott
We had an excellent stay in the villa, couldn't recommend the location enough. Gated community, plenty ammenites near by and outstanding golf course with open air driving range and bar for a nights entertainment. The staff at the Golf course & bar were all very freindly and made you feel welcome.
The villa was spacious, clean with a great warm pool and overall well worth the stay. The Villa is well equiped with recent upgrades to both bathrooms and kitchen.
Would also recommend a short trip to the Ovation bar and grill for the Brisket and BBQ beans!!

Private Owner From Musselburgh, United Kingdom Member since Aug 2012
My name is Carolyn and I live in Scotland with my wonderful husband and 3 kids. We bought our beautiful holiday home in Florida in 2008 when my children were young. They are now 23, 25 and 29. How time flies !! The lovely thing is they still come with us to Florida when we go on holiday. It’s just like our home from home. We set out to buy a holiday home in Southern Dunes as we had previously rented a villa there and fell in love with the area. Not to mention the fabulous golf course. When we saw our villa we just knew it was the one for us. We especially love our pool and the place is so bright and airy. We go over on holiday as often as we can and I just love shopping for new bits and pieces. It’s so important to me to ensure that guests have a wonderful stay and I am passionate about the villa being perfect. I have a fantastic management company over there owned by Sam & Bryn who run a tight ship. They are just amazing ! I can’t wait for my next trip over. I love it so much !! I’m sure you will too !
