An ideal location

This house was ideal for us. The pool was lovely and the hot tub was nice and hot. The kitchen had everything that we needed and the beds were comfortable. I would definitely use this house again.

Another Great Family Trip

We have stayed in Villa Borealis several times, and, once again, it did not disappoint! Our family of 4 always feels at home in this villa. It is super clean inside and out, in a safe gated community, and located in the super quiet cul-de-sac. The pool and spa are wonderful to come home to after long days at the parks and provide some wonderful down time. The kitchen has everything you need to cook at home, and we also used the outdoor grill. If you don't want to cook there are plenty of places close by to dine out, pick up, or have delivered. We have stayed in other villas in the area, but I was so glad Villa Borealis was open for our dates this year. Lyle is so great to work with, and check in is a breeze. Our family had an amazing vacation! Hope to be back soon!

Great house, great location

We had a really great stay in this lovely house. Well equipped (the kids loved the smart TVs in their rooms and the games in the garage) and a fab location close to Disney and other attractions. Property Management company were really helpful - the pool wasn't heated when we arrived (we had paid) and they came out within a couple of hours to turn it on. We loved having a base off site from the theme parks - somewhere to escape too.

The house was very nice and spacious. There are a few things that could little fixings/repairs but overall very good. There was some issues with some pests but we called and the very next day they were out to spray. Overall was a great time! Thanks for providing an amazing house for a stay in Florida!!

Family vacation

We had a great time at the nicely sized pool in the back. The only down side was the temperature in the house, it was hot. We would turn down the thermostat before bed but by the middle of the night it would be too hot again. But overall would stay again

A great experience!

We want to thank the Lyle family to let us stay at their beautiful house. The house is well kept, spacious, quite neighborhood, close to attractions, shopping, and restaurants. The entire experience of 8-9 days was awesome. The kids enjoyed the pool very much. One thing that stood out and very much appreciated was the lower privacy fence on both sides of the swimming pool. The overall experience was great. All four bedrooms were nice, comfy beds, just great all around! Saeed A.

Quiet, clean, fun place to stay

This house was just what we needed to get away. The pool was awesome and my kids loved it!! I it was close to entertainment but on a quiet cul de sac allowing us some peace. The peace of a house versus a hotel was necessary and allowed my family to be together and get away if needed. Loved it!!

Relaxing place to come back to after hectic days at the park

Overall, my family and I (wife and 2 kids 14 and 16) had a very enjoyable stay. Lyle provided us with everything we needed prior to arrival and that made check in a breeze. The location was quiet, safe, and in the heart of all the action we were going to. Disney was very close and easily accessible. It was easy to get to Universal and everywhere else we wanted to go. Plenty of shopping and restaurant options in the area. One tip if you are renting a vehicle. There are toll roads that don’t have booths to pay and it’s automatically charged to your vehicle so unless you think it will be cheaper to pay the fines ($10 per offence and the price of the toll), you can get the easy pass from the vehicle rental company (we didn’t but would have made things easier if we did). Now, back to the accommodations. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the kids had their own rooms and loved the privacy when needed. The fans circulated the air perfectly and the house was a very comfortable temp and clean. The game room was a bonus and we played a bit of all of them but mostly pool. The living room sectional couch was extremely comfortable and I would have taken it home if it fit in my carry on (Haha)!! The pool and hot tub were exactly what we needed after long days at the park and fighting traffic (there is always traffic) as we explored Orlando. Check out was as easy as check in and went smooth. Lyle has a great place at a great price for everything you need. I would stay there again for sure. Thanks Lyle for everything!

Better than Advertised

Lyle was very available and communicative from the beginning of the rental process through our stay. The house had everything required for housekeeping … if you have time for it! The children enjoyed the brightly painted walls and the pretty ceiling fans … loved the fans! The home is very well maintained. The front door lock is a little tricky, but persevere. The appliances worked well, and so did the plumbing .., yay! The pool … perfection. If we hadn’t had WDW tickets, we would have lived there. The lights in the pool were so fun for our night time swims. Staying here was pleasant and comfortable. Kudos.

Great Economical Option near Disney World

Lyle's place was just as advertised and a great bargain for our Disney trip. It was clean, well-stocked and close to the parks. Lyle communicated promptly and was always respectful and reasonable. That said, we were not impressed with the resort, Wyndham Palms, in which the house resides. The clubhouse staff were not helpful, the amenities (e.g., tennis) we looked forward to using before and after our time at the parks were not available because of limited hours, and we were towed for parking over the line (6 inches!) in an empty clubhouse parking lot (besides our vehicle). I won't penalize Lyle with a less-than-perfect rating because he was a great host, but I do want to warn others about the resort management.

Highly recommend!!

This property was amazing! Although it was just the 3 of us, it was much more cost efficient in the long run in comparison to renting a hotel for 2 weeks. Had our own kitchen so we ate in a lot . Having our own pool was worth all of it. The location was centralized to the theme parks most of which were only a 20 min drive depending on traffic. The owners were so helpful with any questions we had. It really felt like our home away from home. We are definitely coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Lyle

We are Lyle and family.

Why they chose this property

We love Central Florida for all the attractions, shopping and weather.

What makes this property unique

Our property was rated 5 stars on another website prior to us purchasing the Villa. Since then we have made the following upgrades:

- replaced the living room TV with a 65 inch Smart HD TV complete with the HD package from Comcast.

- replaced the living room furniture with a leather sectional and a stand alone leather recliner.

- added an IPOD docking system so you can enjoy your music.

- added many VHS, DVD, and Bluray movies.

- added a new Air Hockey game in the games room.

- added a new Dell computer complete with flat screen monitor and printer. The printer is great for printing your boarding passes prior to leaving for the airport.

- added a keyless coded lock system so that you can proceed directly to the Villa upon your arrival in Orlando.

- added black out blinds in all bedrooms so you can have a better sleep.

- replaced an old queen bed with two new twins beds for more flexibilty for families.

- replaced the linens in the villa with higher quality ones.

- added a pool blanket. Although it takes a couple of minutes to take off the pool, it is a huge benefit for the renter. Most villas without pool blankets have very cool pools in winter, even with pool heat. With a blanket, the pool is always a nice temperature for you when ever you may wish to use it.

- added a propane BBQ so you can grill your meals outside should you choose.

- replaced certain pool equipment with newer safer versions for your safety.

- added a new high chair and a new pack-n-play.

- added a code operated safe.

- added 'mobility assistance bars' to the master bathroom.

- added a new front load washer and dryer.

- added new flat screen TV's in all bedrooms.

- added a new Bluray player in the living room.

- added s Stove, microwave, dishwasher and Fridge, all stainless Steel.

-removed the carpet from the common areas and replaced with non slip tile.
