Flamingo Oasis Villa at Highlands Reserve Golf Course

Flamingo Oasis at HR

If you are looking for a relaxing and vacation-themed private villa for your family getaway to the Orlando area, or even to snowbird during the winter, this is a perfect fit for you. The pool is an inviting private oasis with plenty of comfortable lounge chairs and seating to enjoy your meal or a drink by the pool. Our resident metal mascots (Flynn and Mingo) are at home amongst the beautiful tropical landscaped gardens and fountain flowing into the 30 x 15-foot pool. Pool towels are provided along with an assortment of pool accessories. The optional pool heat keeps it comfortable for swimming year-round and is recommended in the winter months. It is $20 a night, or $100 for a week.

The yard backs up to the Highland Reserve Golf course (open to the public if you want to play a few rounds during your stay.) Enjoy the privacy and seclusion of having plenty of room between houses. Some mornings you might see hot air balloons floating over the golf course. Pool lighting and hanging solar lights make for an inviting evening swim. The yard outside the screened pool area is landscaped with banana plants, palm trees, and Crepe Myrtle trees with hanging Spanish Moss and solar lights that glow at twilight.
Flamingo Oasis (named after our pink pool mascots, Flynn and Mingo) is a spacious 4-bedroom private villa with 3 baths, a fully stocked kitchen, and 2 living rooms to relax in. It comfortably sleeps 8 (4 adults and 4 children). The family room open to the kitchen has a 55-inch TV with Roku for you to log into and stream your favorite apps and content. TV antenna allows for local channels. There is also a living room as you enter the house where you can relax, read a book or visit with family. The villa is all ready for family game night with a wide selection of fun games and books for all ages.
The kitchen is ready for preparing meals and has a cozy breakfast nook or seating at the island for quick meals. The dining room offers more space for larger meals or family game night.
The King suite is a peaceful beach-themed escape with plenty of space to unpack and relax. It offers a walk-in closet, dressers, and side tables with lots of drawer space and plenty of hooks to hang your hats (or Mouse ears). Each side table lamp has a built-in USB port. A 42-inch wall-mounted TV with Roku is available for streaming content. The large en suite bathroom includes a shower and jetted tub along with 2 sinks so you don’t have to share. The suite also includes a sitting room next to the pool for another place to relax in the air conditioning (or work from home if you must). The villa is equipped with 1 GB of high-speed internet.
The queen bedroom suite includes a separate bathroom and is perfect for a second couple or grandparents who want to travel with family. The bathroom also has access directly to the pool.
The 3rd and 4th bedrooms share a “Jack and Jill” bathroom. They each have 2 twin size beds. These rooms both have an Orlando vacation theme that kids of all ages will love. One has a Harry Potter theme with house flags, fun wall art, and a nightlight that projects stars. The magic continues with the Disney theme for the other bedroom, complete with a Disney castle and other surprises. It has places to hang your Mouse ears after a long day at the parks and even a hidden Mickey to find. Both rooms include Roku wall-mounted TV’s.

Highlands Reserve is a peaceful and gorgeous golf course community. It offers a large community pool, perfect for lap swimming. It also has a playground and tennis courts, all available for guests. It is located just off US-27, just south of 192 and north of I-4 and Champions Gate. There is a number of different routes to Disney property (12 miles) to help avoid Orlando traffic. We always allow 25 to 30 minutes travel time to Disney parks or Disney Springs. Universal Parks and Sea World are further north (about 25 miles), so please allow 40 minutes travel time. Besides theme parks, there is so much to do in the area, with plenty of restaurants and shopping. Legoland, Lakeland (baseball spring training), and Lake Louisa state park are all within 30 minutes. We are equal distance between both Florida coasts, so around a 90-minute drive to the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean for beach day trips. We’ve been vacationing in Orlando for more than 20 years, so we love to answer questions about your trip, provide advice on what to do in the area, and talk about how to navigate Disney parks. Feel free to ask. We love to help in any way we can.
This property is entirely nonsmoking including inside the pool cage area and any place outside. Parties are not permitted. All guests should be registered with the owners.
We've been Disney Vacation Club members for 20 years and love vacationing in Florida. When we decided to buy a vacation home we rented this fabulous villa during our research trip. We fell in love with the neighborhood with the mature trees, rolling greens, and sidewalks to take long strolls. We felt so at home in the peaceful backyard, screened-in pool, and open sunny floor plan that when the previous owners mentioned they were considering selling, we couldn't resist. Now we hope to share that with others who come to enjoy relaxing vacations in sunny Florida when we’re not staying in it. Please include a little about yourself and what brings you to the Orlando area when requesting a reservation. Weekly stays will have a 10% discount applied and 15% discount for monthly stays.

Spring Break

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Flamingo Oasis. There was more than enough room for the five of us, and the kids absolutely loved the beautiful pool! It was the perfect place to unwind after long days of “tourist things”. You can tell the owners take great pride in their property, as it is well maintained and stocked with everything you could need. Paul and Mary Ruth were extremely responsive to all of our questions from beginning to end. Would definitely stay again!

Getting away from the cold!

We come down to Florida for a few weeks to get away from the Ohio cold in the winter. We really enjoyed our stay at Flamingo Oasis! The house was clean and it was decorated with personality. We enjoyed the heated pool (would have loved a railing to help us old folks get in and out easier and more safely!) The kitchen was supplied with everything you could need. The master suite was great and we enjoyed the sitting room. We ate in the dining room a couple of times, but also used the table to put together a couple of puzzles! All in all a great stay!

A Definite Oasis

From the moment we arrived at this property, it felt like home. A beautiful, spacious house with everything catered for, including a fantastic pool area, in a quiet cul-de-sac. Spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and a few consumables provided to get us started. We did have an issue with the front door lock, in that it wouldn’t lock, but a call to the management company provided a work-around and they sent someone out to replace it. All was good after that. Flamingo Oasis is ideally situated off the I-27, with a supermarket, various food outlets and shops all a short drive away. We also felt that driving to the theme parks was relatively easy, as the I-4 was a short distance away. This property exceeded our expectations and we will return as soon as we can.

Excellent Beautiful Home away from home 9.5*******

I want to thank Paul and Mary for allowing us to use their wonderful home to rest and recover from all the medical issues and procedures we went thru, and to just rest, relax and be refreshed. We had a wonderful week of just enjoying this excellent peaceful backyard, great swimming pool, the gorgeous inside of the home and all the amenities (we couldn't get my teenager out of that huge heated pool).Paul was excellent in staying in touch with me with some very useful/helpful info about the area, and the property manager was also good at keeping us posted. We would book this property again and highly recommend it any family who would like to have a wonderful vacation and feel like their "At home away from home with lots Extra". Thanks once again Paul and Mary. Joan and the girls

Lovely stay at Flamingo Oasis!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa. The villa was just as described and the beds were very comfortable. We really appreciated the essentials that had been left for us when we checked in. From coffee makers to slow cookers, you couldn't ask for anything more in a kitchen. And of course having Berry Town centre on your doorstep was also very handy. We spent a lot of time in the pool area, which is just beautiful. We have stayed in HR a few times before, but this was the first time we stayed so close to the nature reserve. We got to see many lovely birds, but the highlight was seeing two gopher tortoises! We will definitely be back to visit Flamingo Oasis!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay

My Husband and I stayed at the Flamingo Oasis for one week. The home has a beautiful aesthetic. The pictures are 100% accurate, however, it is much more beautiful in person. The pool is heavenly. The pool area at night with all of the lights, the living and kitchen area, as well as the master ensuite is gorgeous. The master king bed is very comfortable. There is a mattress topper/sponge on it. I highlighted the comfort of the bed as going all day back and forth to Orlando and walking around surely made us tired and that bed was a blessing to come back to. The master ensuite is very large and spacious, it has a functional layout. The other bedrooms are very nice as well, but we did not use them as it was just my Husband and I. The home is very clean and excellently maintained. The location is excellent, very beautiful, and very quiet. Such a peaceful place to come back to. Other little nuance details that we appreciated is that each light switch is labeled! Very convenient. Turning on the lamps, nook lighting, and tv cabinet lighting at night is very cozy – especially with the backyard lights and pool lights on at night. We value a cozy atmosphere so I highlight that for anyone else who does as well. Communication with Paul and Mary was prompt and they were so helpful, offering extra information and tips to help us on our way. Communication with the rental villa was prompt and succinct as well. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you Paul and Mary!

Worthy of at least 10 stars

We took my 88-year-old mother to stay at this house and we all had a fantastic time. The home itself had everything you might need or want for a vacation. It was spotless, pristine and clean, clean clean. The beds were comfortable. The common areas were cozy, and the pool was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and plan on another trip to this home in the future. The owners could not have been more responsive and friendly as well. Anyone who is on the fence of where to stay… pick this one it is awesome.

Awesome Villa

We’ve stayed in Highland Reserve a number of times and this villa is by far the nicest one we’ve ever stayed in. From the moment you walk through the front doors, you were struck by the attention to detail in each and every room. The villa was nice and clean, well equipped with plenty of linens and the kitchen had everything you can ask for. Having access to a heated pool in the month of February was an added bonus. Our hosts were quick to respond and very accommodating. They made our stay extra special. We will be recommending this villa to anybody that’s looking for a place in Davenport area and hope to return ourselves in the not too distant future.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Mary Ruth Dickson

Host profile image
We HAIL from Michigan where we spend our time teaching chemistry and sign language interpreting. We've been travelling to the Orlando area with our two girls for over 20 years.

Why they chose this property

In March 2021, we decided to start looking for a vacation home to purchase in the Orlando area that we could eventually retire to. We rented a home in the area that we were interested in making a purchase. After mentioning it to the owners who were from England, they mentioned that they were considering selling. What better way to get to know a property than stay there for a few days! We loved the neighborhood, the area, the previous owners and most importantly, the home. After many delays and discussion we signed on the dotted line in November 2021. In December 2021, we made our first trip to see the house as the new owners and to see the previous owners off as they had finally made it to the US after Covid restrictions were lifted. We are making a few cosmetic changes here and there to make it our own. We hope you enjoy the house as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We are 25 minutes from the Magic Kingdom parking lot. Studios, Epcot and Animal Kingdom are even closer! There is a Publix just a short (5 minute) drive away where you can stock up on your supplies for your time here. Many restaurants can be found in the same complex (we really like Adler's for burgers). Reserve your tee time at Highlands Reserve Golf course that winds its way through our neighborhood. There are neighborhood tennis courts and a playground too. Lots of fun games and books for family games night along with twin bedrooms with fun vacation themes. Harry Potter and Disney park lovers will enjoy finding the small surprises and fun sprinkled throughout them.
