Area Information
This beautiful Villa offers Executive living at affordable prices located at the prestigious Oak Island Harbor a sub division of Formosa Gardens. Oak Island Harbor is the closest sub diversion to Disney just 2 miles from the entrance, yet within walking distance of numerous restaurants, shops and a 24 hr super market which can be reached without crossing a main road. Our fully equipped and Air Conditioned Villa occupies a premium lot overlooking a lake attracting Cranes, Herons and other wildlife. Fishing is allowed on the lake please feel free to use the fishing tackle in the villa. Location is very important, as the Parks are often open for 15 hours a day, probably too long for young children. Our close proximity to the parks allows guests to return to the villa for an afternoon siesta before returning in the evening for the fireworks and parades. Not to mention the shortcut into the parks without using the main highways which can get congested during peak season. Staying at a location such as ours cuts down the time you spend in your car and gives you more time chilling out with the mouse! You can also come back at lunch for a rest and a swim in the pool -and return in time re-charged for the evening.

Guestbook comments from the owner:
This Lakeside home is probably the best family vacation we have had in central Florida. Very close to all the Disney parks. From the start communication we received from Julie and Derek were phenomenal. The Amenities,Cleanliness and Views from the Hot Tub and Pool were amazing. Plenty of space and in a very secure neighborhood. Tons of Shopping and Restaurants very close to the home. We utilized the local Super Target and Publix Grocery Store multiple times and were only minutes away. We usually like to try different areas and properties however, we hope to stay here again in the near future. Please tell Eve the kids said hi ;) Cheers

A beautiful home well supplied with all you may need! Location is perfect for all the parks, and any general needs are close by. Derek was quick to reply to questions and very friendly to work with. The pool and quiet neighborhood were so appreciated after long, hot, busy days. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever lucky enough to repeat the trip!! Published Jun 11, 2019

Excellent 5/5 Stayed Feb 2019 Wendy S. We really enjoyed this home. It was very clean and comfortable. Loved the back yard views. So enjoyable to have a quiet morning coffee and watch the birds. It’s close to many amenities. Derek and Julie were very accommodating. We asked for an extra night and a late checkout and it was no trouble. To say nothing of the welcoming bottle of wine. The management company brought our bbq the day after we requested it. I would definitely recommend this home, especially if you have a family of any age and want to visit the Disney parks!

Relaxing House and Fireworks in the Distance 5/5 Stayed Mar 2018 Ryan P. My family stayed at Derek and Julie's place last week. We gathered to visit with my cousin, aunt and uncle. They visited Epcot one day on their own; it's close enough to drive to. We cooked in the kitchen. The hot tub and pool were nice and worked great. Used the game room one afternoon as well with my sister and dad. From the hot tub we saw fireworks in the distance. Great place to visit again and recommended. Published Mar 11, 2018

You won't find one better! 5/5 Stayed Dec 2017 Craig D.Halifax, Nova Scotia The Lakeview home was our second time staying in the community, and it's a perfect location for anyone visiting the theme parks. Street is quiet, yet extremely close to all amenities. Communication from the home owners was prompt and always friendly, and the local property management team was exceptional - quick to respond to any call, and extremely accommodating (our only request to increase the temperature of the pool and hot tub was addressed within an hour of calling). The home was exactly as described (clean, spacious, etc.), fully equipped, and in perfect working condition upon arrival. Pool and hot tub were exceptional, and the back deck area offered peace and quiet at all times. Would highly recommend this rental, and would easily rent again - you will not find anything better in the area. Published Jan 21, 2018

Beautiful home... 5/5 Stayed Jun 2017 Ann C.Brookfield, Wisconsin Derek and Julie were a pleasure to work with from the time we booked and all through out our stay. Their home was everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Florida. We came down for the AAU Nationals volleyball tournament and it was so nice to come back to a house and swim in our own pool rather than be stuck in a hotel . Our four girls and my mother in law all had their own space and the kids LOVED the game area and learned how to play pool, foosball and air hockey! We will definitely book with Derek and Julie again in the future! Thanks again! Ann and Bob
