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 50 inch HD television and HD cable tv, free high speed wireless internet, full air conditioning throughout, telephone with free calls within the 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 from paintings to hairdryers. 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 be easily 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 fantastic 50 inch 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 an en suite bathroom/shower room, a second queen bedroom and 2 twin rooms. The 2nd Double room and the 2 twins share a bathroom/shower room/toilet. 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 cable televisions.
KITCHEN/BREAKFAST BAR/UTILITY ROOM
The 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. The kitchen is also equipped with a large oven and microwave.
Next to the kitchen is a 2nd dining area and breakfast bar.
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. 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 there is a shaded area. 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 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 Ticket, College Football, NHL, MLB and much much more !! For up to date information visit www.southerndunes.com.
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 Appleby's, Cracker Barrel, Grand China Buffet, Perkins, Denny's, Bob Evans, 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.
We have a collection of leaflets in the villa which you may find interesting. If any of our guests experience anything new they tend to leave some information for future guests.

The villa was exactly as described but unfortunately we were plagued by bugs from the first day they were on the kitchen worktops and under the kitchen appliances. We live in the canaries and understand the problem because of the heat. I purchased some bug spray and sprayed under and around everything in the kitchen, killed quite a lot but the next day they were back I resprayed again. The following morning they were back. I contacted Brin and he came out and resprayed with a more potent spray. But 2 days later they were back in the cupboards and in the fridge, we had them in both bathrooms and the master bedroom The day we were leaving I text Sam and Brin and told them the problem was worse. In between all this the Dryer never worked from day one we were promised a repair guy but never got one.
Also the WiFi stopped working after 3 days but Brin came the following day and installed a new system. Apart from all that we enjoyed our stay, would we come back again...... I would say yes if the bug problem was resolved.

We had a fantastic stay at this villa . The owner couldn’t have been more helpful !
Easy to follow directions and check in/ out . This villa is a little bit farther than we would normally choose to stay but that didn’t deter from all overall stay . Plenty of places to eat and drink very close by and also Walmart’s and Winn Dixie practically on doorstep . Villa is lovely inside and pool was great ! Would definitely recommend and clickstay we’re very good at communicating what info we needed .
Great holiday , thanks !

Lovely stay at a very nice home on a great development, everything we needed was there, all areas were clean and well equiped, great communication with owner, only marked down slightly on games room, needs updating and a brighter light, would recommend this property to any family. Many thanks, The Chalk family

The property was very easy to find (even in the dark, which was when we arrived) The directions were great, and having the lights on was very welcoming! The villa was fabulous! It was as described, and very spacious. The two of us were almost lost in the building! Access to stores that were on either side of the entrance to the grounds was easy and included Walmart, Dollar Tree, Winn-Dixie and several restaurants. No long trips to do shopping! All the appliances worked and the pans and dishes were very clean (we have stayed at places other than this where a lot of cleaning had to be done before anything was usable. Not the case here!) Everything was ready for our arrival and we enjoyed out stay very much! The location was central to all that we wanted to do (we went to both coasts several times) and the location made that extremely easy. Hoping we will be able to rent this wonderful villa again soon!

This has to be the best place we have stayed at over the years we have been going to Florida . Enough said !

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 & 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 !
