A large 1500+ sq ft property with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms less than 5 miles from Disney. Set in a quiet, gated, speed restricted, lakeside community.

Overview

You don't have to pay a fortune for top quality. Our property is your home away from home, the perfect place for your holiday in the Disney area without breaking the bank. After visiting in 2001 & 2002 we bought our home in October 2002. We have made many improvements over the years and continue to improve our home year after year. Recently the whole house was re-carpeted and a new refrigerator was also bought. We have also won 'Homesite' of the month 3 times in Nov 13, Aug 15 & June 19.

The whole house has a Teddy Bear theme with bears looking after each of the bedrooms. The lounge has 2 Teddy Corners where a collection of Teddies make you feel at home.

Margaritaville has recently opened 3 miles East on the 192. If offers 13 restaurants, a Cinema movie grill, shops and Island H20 Live water park.

Bedrooms, Lounge & Kitchen
The Master bedroom has a Queen size bed, 32" cable TV & DVD player. The second bedroom also has a Queen size bed, cable TV. The third bed has twin beds which can be put together to make a King size bed, it also has a TV and DVD player.

The Master bathroom (which is en-suite) has a hair dryer and hair styling set whilst the second bathroom also has a hair dryer.

The spacious lounge will seat 6 very comfortably and has a 49" TV and DVD player, a growing DVD (170+) collection & CD library, games and Hi-Fi system.

The kitchen is fully equipped to meet all your cooking needs and in the utility room there is a washer and dryer.

Shops and Restaurants
Vista Del Lago is predominately a residential gated complex which makes it a very safe place to stay with a 20mph speed limit. It is within easy reach of all the main attractions as well as being very close to supermarkets, shops and restaurants. The location is ideal and difficult to be bettered.

We have a lot of repeat renters, satisfaction is our main aim and with our caretaker living only a couple of doors away any problems that may occur or question you may have is dealt with very quickly.

We had a fortnight here with 4 adults and 2 small kids. The property has everything required for the stay with local amenities catering for everything else. Great location and price.
Only complaint - the back door lock is poor. It's a twist handle with a lock built-in AND a slide bolt installed above, akin to one you would use on a bathroom door. Didn't appreciate the poor security I felt it provided but that is my personal opinion being used to deadbolt doors in the UK rather than the more basic used in the US.
Not to detract from the rest of the property which was great 👍.

Thank you for your review and the comment about the back door. That's how the doors are on these properties and having rented our property out for 22 years this is the first comment we have had about it. I will look at it again when we are out there next but the doors do not lend themselves to any other type of lock due to their construction.

I’d been given excellent instructions and followed them , we arrived easily and our enjoyed a fantastic time!
Villa is so spacious and has everything you could ever need, and I mean better equipped than my own home! The facilities on site are brilliant if you don’t fancy parks you can easily fill time with the pools gym games room lake walks games dvds and music. I could have stayed there for the rest of my life I actually didn’t want to leave. I’ve already been in touch about our next stay! I’ve stayed in many villas but the value for money exceeds anything I’ve ever experienced and makes your return to usa much for frequent for the lovers of American holidays u cannot wait to get back . Thanks to Paul and Carol for sharing you wonderful home !!!!

Thank you very much for your lovely review, it makes it all worth while.

Friends from Conwy, United Kingdom Sep 2022

The location was lovely. Safe, closed off area with lots of nice homes and people. The house was spacious and felt very homely. Perfect place to stay I can’t really think of many of any downsides, other than the
Wi-Fi being very slow. Would highly recommend and you won’t find better for the price.

Reply from Paul

Hi Morgan, thank you for the review. I think there was a general problem on site with the Wi-Fi during your stay looking on Facebook, generally its very good.

Lynda

Couple from Nuneaton, United Kingdom Jan 2022

We were very comfortable and the home was very well cared for . The community is mostly residential from what I could see We didnt use the pool but it was near the house so great for anyone with children. Everything worked as it should The only issue we had was when we arrived it was very dark and the we didnt find the home easily It maybe could do with a light to shine on the number as we went up and down the street looking for it Other than that the owners were very responsive and we didnt have any issues at all .

Thanks for your review Lynda. I should have said look out for the teddy bears in the front garden, sorry.

Family from Cheltenham, United Kingdom Oct 2018

Perfect house for our needs. Hugely spacious, with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Lovely location on a very secure, friendly residential site. Close to the US192 with masses of restaurants and shops nearby. We loved it here and would definitely recommend.

Couple from Southampton, United Kingdom Apr 2018

Me and my wife stayed at Orlando Dreams in April / May 2018.

I have been to Orlando many times and stayed in many places but I know everytime I plan to go back I shall be booking this property.

The complex it is on is large but it feels like a close community. The neighbours where friendly and the facilities like the swimming pool and clubhouse was excellent.

The accomodation itself felt like home and you could truelly relax. It is spacious, comfortable and has everything and more than you could want from a holiday home.

The communication with Paul and the information that subsiquently followed was fantastic. There is a pack at the accomodation that explains everything about the property and shopping, food and entertainment in the area that was really informative.

Patricia Mansfield & Family (UK) - October/November 2004 said:Hi paul, Had a great stay in your villa, in fact it was fantastic. Your villa is beautiful in every way, couldn't find fault if we wanted to. We felt safe and secure on the Vista Del Lago complex. I will keep your email address for when we go to florida again I would love to book the house again. Thanks again from all the Mansfields. ps. Carols teddies are lovely hope there all still there next time we go.

Lee Pudaruth & Family (UK) - August 2004 said:All of us were more than happy with your accommodation in Florida and I am sure that we would definitely use it again in the near future. It was clean, spacious and had facilities we would not normally have (DVD player, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, etc) All of them a bonus to making our holiday a less stressful one.Its location, another bonus, close to all theme parks and attractions, as well as easy access to the interstate. I must also comment on your Holiday book in the accommodation, which was very detailed, full of good ideas & tips, allowing us to plan our break more effectively.We all had a great time, it was a relief to come back home to your accommodation every night, with the feeling that it was "home" if you know what I mean.It goes without saying that we will be recommending it to our family & friends.Thanks again.

Keith Bellehewe (UK) - June/July 2004 said:My friends and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the use of your Villa (23rd June - 7th July).We found the directions to the Villa very easy to follow and collecting the keys very straightforward.You were right about the Villa; it has everything that my house has and more! All rooms are well equipped, very spacious and clean.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Florida and would think about using Orlando Dreams again!

Mr & Mrs Parsons (UK) - April/May 2004 said:First as a housewife and Mum I was very impressed with how clean and organised the house was. The cleanest holiday home we have ever stayed in. We found the location perfect, ideally placed, very close to the attractions and 192 dining areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Florida, and would be more than happy to use Orlando Dreams again.The kids were impressed how big and spacious the house was, they enjoyed staying there, it didn't take long for them to call it 'home'. Until next time, thanks....

Roger Wang (USA) - Easter 2004 said:Your house is a wonderful place to stay. It is in a very quiet and secure neighbourhood and the security is available 24 hours day.It is located near all the major theme parks and shopping and dining are only blocks away. The house is clean and spacious, my kids had lots of room to play and rewind after a long day on the rollercoasters.Thanks

Alex and Gill Roberts & Mike and Gill Stack (UK) - December 2003 said:We would like to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Orlando in November/December. Your property is superb, clean, spacious, very comfortable and well equipped.It has excellent amenities nearby and is in easy distance to the main attractions. We can't wait to return again in October 2004.

Miss Joanne Chadwick (UK) - November 2003 said:Orlando Dreams website certainly lives up to its name. The house was immaculate, the facilities around the area were clean and welcoming. The people on the complex are friendly and are always chatty. The pool at the club house was our favourite pool. I wanted to take my shampoo and soap as the water was absolute heaven. There are many choices of restaurants around. We lived in Denny's as there was such a variety of food on the menu, and it was very very cheap but nice. I think Paul and Carol have a fantastic place and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to have a couple of weeks in Orlando.

Mr Reilly (UK) - July 2003 said:Still trying to get my feet back on the ground after a very enjoyable holiday with the family. You have a very comfortable and well equipped home giving the feeling of warmth and a relaxed 'home from home' atmosphere. The complex was quiet as you stated. The facilities were good and never over crowded. We spent a few days just relaxing by the poolside. The security staff were always pleasant and helpful. If we decide to return to Orlando in the near future we would certainly use the complex again. Good luck to you both for your future in Orlando.

Mr Wager (UK) - May 2003 said:- As for most holidays, you never know what the area or accommodation is going to be like that you are staying at, even though you have seen it in a brochure or on the Web.My family and I arrived at Vista Del Lago after a very long day and were pleased to see how clean and tidy it was. The Reception/Security staff were very helpful and pointed us in the right direction to our Villa. We opened the front door and was welcomed by the rush of cold air from the Air Conditioning system which was particularly nice bearing in mind it was a very hot day. Once inside we were very pleased to see how spacious/clean the Villa was and how homely it felt. The facilities offered within the Villa were second to none, and made our life a lot easier having three children. The facilities offered on the complex were very good also, the three Swimming Pools were clean and tidy, and the Gym along with all its equipment was very inviting.To summarise the holiday, it was fantastic we did not want to return to the UK. My wife and I were so impressed, that we would like to buy a property in the same location when our children have left School and College. Any tips on buying a property in Orlando would be greatly appreciated. We can't wait until our next visit, thanks very much for the loan of the Villa

We lazed by the pool in the mornings until it got too hot, back to the villa for Lunch and then threw ourselves into the roller coasters for the rest of the day. The villa was a welcoming place to get out of the heat and we all had plenty of space to do our own thing when we wanted, the kids enjoyed the DVD player while I watched the Weather Channel. Wildlife came to visit outside the house most days: cranes, pelicans, small frogs and tiny lizards. The restaurants were all great, especially Carrabbas and the Premium Shopping Mall was a big hit with all the females. A day at Clearwater Beach was a great day out as well. The best holiday we've had in years!Mr Reilly (UK) - July 2003 said:Still trying to get my feet back on the ground after a very enjoyable holiday with the family.  You have a very comfortable and well equipped home giving the feeling of warmth and a relaxed 'home from home' atmosphere. The complex was quiet as you stated.

We found it not only very comfortable but very well equipped. A bonus was that we have never had a bedroom so far from the children. We feel the equipment provided was as complete as required. Certainly the availability of the DVD player and hi-fi was a bonus. As for the washing machine, this was the first holiday where we have returned home with clean clothes. We would be happy to recommend the villa to our friends. Thank you once again for letting us rent your property and the assistance you gave us in having a successful holiday.

My wife and I have been going to Florida since 1993 and then in 2002 we bought our property in Vista Del Lago. We fell in love with the community, the facilities offered and the friendly people there. Since 2008 we have spent long periods of the summer there every year and each time make improvements to our property as it is our home from home. We have a very efficient caretaker who lives just down the street, if something goes wrong during your stay, and an excellent cleaner who does a wonderful job in keeping the house in top condition. We are confident that anyone staying in our property will not be disappointed.
