About this property

Luxurious, Spacious 6 Bedroom Family Villa With Amazing Private Pool And Spa

Many thanks for viewing our villa, Florida Delight (Watersongvillarental) which is our vacation rental home on the beautiful Watersong Resort in Davenport, Florida. We are Nichola and Richard and we have owned and rented the property from it being new in 2014.
Customer Care is key to us to help all our guests have the vacation they have dreamed of. We know how important it is when you are investing in a holiday to be able to trust the people you are booking with. Likewise, as owners we need to have full confidence in the people who manage our villa locally and we have this as a result of our partnership with Homes of America who help bring you a first-class holiday rental home. Our fantastic management team, Lynn, Dave and Ed professionally manage everything with the cleaning, maintenance and management of our villa to ensure everything is just right for our guests. Between us all we really hope to welcome you soon.

Outdoors:
Front:
Parking for up to 4 vehicles on the drive subject to car size. Drive size is length 36 foot x width 16 foot max. There is no on-street parking permitted on the resort. Dusk to dawn LED lighting ensures your vehicles are illuminated at night and aids opening the villa door.

Rear:
If outdoor living is your thing this is the villa for you! Our pool deck (40’ x 30’) is one of the largest, if not the largest on Watersong. Its picturesque woodland and lake outlook at the rear of the home together with the extended privacy screening to both sides between our neighbours make it the perfect spot for relaxing with your family and friends. Such a high degree of privacy around the pool area is certainly not something that every villa offers The extended deck enables the pool area to be bathed in sunshine for longer into the afternoon. The extended outside space and view are often the key reasons why many of our guests decide to book our villa in the first place and are mentioned in many of our guest reviews. Imagine relaxing round the pool and enjoying spotting some of Florida's amazing bird and wildlife at the same time! With floodlights in the pool and twinkling solar lights around the deck you can enjoy relaxing outside and swimming both day and night in a magical setting.
We have a handrail for accessing both the pool and the spa which means that it is far easier for both seniors and young children to get in and out of the water and be able to join in the fun with the rest of the family.
Pool heat is of course an option for both the pool and spa.
Very comfortable, high quality seating, sun loungers and dining furniture complete our outside living experience for you to enjoy the pool at its absolute best.



Indoors:
Entry: Step into the first of two sitting areas downstairs in the villa. It is a large, welcoming lounge area, beautifully laid out with two three- seater sofas and an armchair, coffee table and lamps.
A bar area just off the lounge is convenient for fixing snacks and pouring drinks. It is here that you will find board games and cards, as well as local attraction leaflets and booklets.

There is a downstairs toilet.

Family Living Room
From the lounge situated at the front of the villa you will wander through into the stunningly spacious open kitchen, dining and family living area. Patio doors give the Family Living room direct access and views onto the pool area..
It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a film on the large 65-inch 4K TV which has superb picture quality.
All the major US, UK and European networks as well as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney and Peacock TV are available on any of the ten TVs available throughout the villa.
There is a landline for local calls within the US.

Dining Areas
There is large and impressive inside formal dining table which seats up to 12 people and is a real showpiece with great views overlooking the pool area. Being indoors the AC ensures a cool, comfortable temperature and being next to the kitchen it makes preparing and serving meals easy and very convenient. The lights above the table can be dimmed or brightened according to the mood and ambiance you wish to create during mealtime.
Alternatively for a casual bite to eat or a coffee there are four bar stools at the breakfast bar to sit, chat and enjoy a leisurely snack. There is also a smaller table and four chairs in the front lounge.

Kitchen
With the luxury of space, ample work surfaces in granite, quality appliances and equipment, the kitchen offers everything you need to make home cooking and entertainment a pleasure. This kitchen is superbly equipped with every modern convenience, including an American style fridge/freezer and ice machine, a large modern oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, blender, electric kettle, waffle maker and Insta-Pot. There's all the crockery, cutlery, and cookware you could possibly need. There is also a complete 2nd set of stylish, quality plastic crockery and glasses (a necessity for your safety) to use in the pool area.

Laundry Area
Florida Delight has its own washing machine, tumble drier, iron and ironing board located on the loft / landing area. There is a cupboard containing additional towels you will need both within the villa and around the pool. Upon your arrival you will also find each bathroom has been made up with clean towels.

Games Room
Florida Delight has a large games room complete with pool table, air hockey and table football, There is also a wall mounted 40“Samsung HD TV. With two raised bar stools and table, there is a welcome spot for having a break from all the excitement and to sit and enjoy a drink or just have fun watching everyone having a great time.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The six-bedroom accommodation comprises two king suites, two queen suites, one twin-bedded room and one room with bunk beds. The king and queen suites have their own private adjoining bathrooms. The twin bedroom and bunk bedroom share a bathroom although access is through their own separate doors. In addition to the air conditioning throughout the villa, the king and queen bedrooms have the luxury of integral ceiling fans/lights.
All the bedding is provided, and the beds are beautifully made up with clean, high quality and stylish linen before you arrive.
The villa has air-conditioning throughout, so will remain at a constant cool temperature that will make you feel comfortable throughout your stay whatever the temperature outside.
Every bathroom has a shower, all of which have been upgraded to quality units with doors, and are equipped with its own hair dryer.
There are also two baths in the villa, found in the two master bathrooms, a must for families with children still too young for a shower.

Master Bedroom (1)
Located at the rear of the villa, completed with a king size bed, with high quality bedding and four pillows, two nightstands and two lamps and a 32” Samsung TV and telephone for free local calls. A stunning walk-in closet provides a vast amount of storage. The ensuite bathroom has the luxury of two wash basins, a bath, a shower cubicle, and a separate toilet.

Master Bedroom (3) - Front
This bedroom enjoys the same style king size double bed as Master Bedroom 1. The bedroom is beautifully completed with high quality bedding and four pillows, two nightstands and two lamps and a 32” Samsung TV. A large wardrobe provides plenty of storage space.
The ensuite bathroom has wash basin and vanity unit with hair dryer, a bath, shower cubicle and separate toilet.

Queen Bedrooms (2) and (4)
Each of the queen bedrooms are furnished with beautiful white furniture. With queen sized beds, two nightstands and two lamps, a 32” Samsung TV and large wardrobes. The queen bedrooms each have their own ensuite bathroom with shower, vanity unit, toilet, and hair dryer.

Twin Bedded Bedroom (5)
A perfect bedroom for adults or children alike, decorated with the same fresh, white furniture as the queen bedrooms. With a 32” Samsung TV, nightstand, and lamp. This bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with shower, vanity unit with hair dryer and toilet, which it shares with bedroom 6 but each room has its own private access to the bathroom.

Bunk Bedroom (6)
A great room for children with bunk beds, nightstand, lamp and 32” Samsung TV. The lower of the two bunks is in fact a double bed, which enables greater flexibility and options if another bed in required for an adult.
This bedroom shares a bathroom with bedroom 5 but each room has its own private access to the bathroom.

Loft Area/Chill out
The loft was created as a special area to relax on the leather sofa and have fun playing on the PS4 games console with a range of games. This is attached to a 40” Samsung TV.

Additional Children’s Equipment
We have a highchair, stroller, cot and stair gates available upon request for those parties staying with a young child. There is also a safety fence in front of the pool which is always in place upon the arrival of new guests to the villa and is for the safety and protection of children. Guests staying without young children can take the fence down during their stay should they wish to do so. The Club House is a 5-minute walk from the villa and free for any guests to use. It has a large climbing frame/play area for young children.

Management:
The villa has been decorated and furnished throughout to a high standard and quality for your total enjoyment and pleasure. We ensure the high standards are maintained by our excellent local management company, Lynn, Ed and Dave of Homes of America, who are on hand should you need them at all during your stay. An information pack containing all details regarding the housekeeping and general function of the facilities is available for your convenience within the villa and contains the contact details for the Management Company.

Florida Delight is strictly non-smoking throughout (including the pool deck) and we also ask that guests refrain from bringing pets as no animals are allowed in the villa.

Family vacation

We couldn’t have possibly had a more perfect vacation. Our sons and their spouses and our grandchildren came to spend a week with us. We’re celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and this home was a great fit for everyone. Spacious, very clean and a great pool and outdoor space.The owner was great and responded quickly when we had a question. We thank him for such a lovely vacation spot. Jane and Terry

Beautiful home

The house is beautiful and had a lot to offer our family. Everyone was pleased with having their own bedroom/bathroom area. The pool and hot tub were very much enjoyed throughout our stay. We had a minor issue with gaining access to the home when we arrived that was resolved with a phone call. There were a few things that I felt could be improved upon. We did note the bathroom trashcans had multiple rust spots on the outside of the can that was visible and the kitchen pans could stand an upgrade. Other than that, the house was very welcoming and was a good fit for our family for the week. We would definitely stay here again should we visit Florida in the future.

It was all that we wanted and more!

Our wonderful stay began when we opened the front door. Everything was so roomy and beautifully decorated. We went upstairs to find the bedrooms also decorated just as you’d expect a Florida Villa to be; nice vibrant colors. We had our children and grandchildren with us so with all the bedrooms it accommodated our family. The main attraction for everyone wasn’t Mickey, It was having that pool and spa to go into everyday. After going to the parks, no matter how tired we were, we took a dip. We only had one issue and it was handled that day. Kudos to Richard’s management team for getting that problem fixed! There is a good assortment of games and books for reading. The first night we were greeted to the call of coyotes, we spotted a hawk who eventually landed on a branch by the pool but the best thing was seeing a pair of cranes walk right past the pool. Thank you Richard for a wonderful stay!

A Stunning Rental Villa

We would just like to take the time to show our appreciation for this stunning rental villa ‘Florida Delight’. Can we just start with saying how clean and perfect this villa is presented, It has absolutely everything we needed for our stay and lived up to our expectations and more. The villa itself is first class, very spacious and beautifully furnished throughout.In addition to the large sized open plan living area and kitchen, there was also a quiet relaxing room at the front of the house to escape the chaos if needed. The villa had an amazing personal pool that we were in at every given opportunity, which incorporated a spa. All nestled on a large sized terrace area with furniture for you to soak up the sun and eat alfresco. A well-equipped games room with a pool table and air hockey completed the set up on the ground floor The first floor area was just as spacious with large sized bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom and more importantly lots of storage and closet space. The beds were comfy and bed linens and towels were all of a good quality . The first floor also contains a useful well equipped laundry area. In general Florida Delight was about a 30 minute drive to the Disney parks, and there are a great selection of restaurants and supermarkets just a few minutes drive in either direction. You don’t need to look any further for a wonderful villa situated close to everything Orlando has to offer. I would have no hesitation with recommending Florida Delight

Perfect for all our needs.

The villa is perfect for us each time we stay here, and have been lucky to have stayed at Florida Delight a few times now. The size and layout of the villa always means that we can really enjoy being together as a group but still never feel that we are too much on top of each other and that we can all enjoy our own space as and when we want to. It is spacious, well laid out and always very clean. The pool area is particularly great as the deck is larger than most, which allows for a good range of outside seating and dining. This is really important to us as we want to make the most of being outside when we are there, whether that is during the daytime swimming and sunbathing, or the evening sat around chatting and eating as a family. We find it easy to get to the various attractions in Orlando from here and the new Publix which is less than 10 minutes away is a great addition. We always love our holidays at Florida Delight and are already looking forward to when we return again soon.

Perfect stay

Our stay was about perfect. The important things for us are always cleanliness, privacy, security, space and comfort and we got all these from our stay at Watersong Villa. We had a minor issue that was resolved incredibly quickly by the excellent management company and we also had a call from the owners to make sure we were OK once we were settled in. The villa is huge and it's hard to get a sense of this from pictures. As an example of how good the service is, we found the pool too warm for our preference on our first day. Richard was able to adjust this remotely and the next day, when we got back from Disney, it was more how we like it. Also the little things left for us to get started was a real plus and super helpful. Highly recommended.

Outdoor space is amazing !

We booked this villa because of the outdoor pool area and it didn’t disappoint we were a party of five adults and 3 kids and we all loved it equally, the villa itself is large enough to sleep more than our party as we had a couple rooms free, the kitchen had lots outdoor and indoor plates etc, the owners were fantastic at communicating with us throughout too

We love this villa/home

This is our second visit to this particular villa/home, Florida Delight, in Watersong. We have also stayed in two other homes in Watersong, but we prefer Richard’s home because it is truly the best! The home was very clean and well-maintained. The pool area is larger than other homes in the neighborhood, & the pool furniture is not only beautiful, but also extremely comfy. The layout of this home is perfect. The pool was immaculate, as was the sauna, Richard, the owner, is a pleasure to work with, and is very responsive. Lynn at the management company is also one of the nicest people and also very responsive if needed. My husband and I and two adult daughters, one son-in-law and three grandchildren stayed for a week. It was hard to tell which the children loved best, the game room in the garage or the pool. The kitchen is very well stocked and the butler’s pantry has plenty of books and games. However, we stayed so busy. I think my husband was the only one who actually found and read a book. LOL. Richard’s driveway is also one of the largest, and we had no problem accommodating our three large vehicles, a 3500HD GMC dually truck, a van, and an SUV. This trip we found a great place to eat breakfast/brunch close by called First Watch which was awesome! The Villa is also convenient to a local Walmart and Publix close by. We had a great stay and I would highly recommend this home, as our experience with this villa has always been perfect.

Familientreffen

Der Zugangscode für die Tür hat nicht funktioniert, wie bei unserem Vorgänger. Der Vermieter konnte uns nur bedingt helfen, der Einlass dauerte ca. 45 Minuten. Das Haus war wunderschön und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit dort. Unserer Meinung nach sollten nur die Elektrogeräte in der Küche dringend erneuert werden. Der Herd ist in die Jahre gekommen und die Mikrowelle wurde sogar mit Tape geklebt. Die Spülmaschine ist verrostet und der Kühlschrank ist für 12 Personen viel zu klein. Alles andere ist super schön vom tollen Pool angefangen und den tollen Schlafzimmern aufgehört. Wir haben uns in der Anlage sehr wohl gefühlt.

overview

We enjoyed the property very much, and if we were to return to Orlando would definitely stay there again. We were very disappointed re the Community 'clubhouse'. i.e. not being open at weekends and closing at 5.op.m. on weekdays. We also were under the impression there was a bar etc available there which there isn't. As we spent many days on our own due to the family being at the Parks it would have been nice to have had a drink other than in the house.

Delightfull

Our family of 11, 3 generations, stayed at this home for a week in December, and enjoyed it very much. Believe the reviews, I do not think we could find any place better near the price. The pool area was large and comfortable, with nice views and privacy. We paid for pool heat witch is needed this time of year. The hot tub got hot and the pool was a very nice temperature all week. We used the games room and the Watersong playground and pool, the pool had a walk in area that was great for small children. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate with all 11 people at the dinning table. The only glitch was the door lock not working with the code I was given when I arrived, but a call for help was handled quickly and I was able to get in. The owners were both very nice and made us feel welcome and important to them. I hope to return some day! Thanks Peter

Family of 10 Thanksgiving Florida trip

We stayed at the villa Florida Delight for 10 days over Thanksgiving. What a great stay for Grandpa & Grandma and their two families. Four kids aged 7,8,9,10. This villa provided our family with plenty of space! We used the spa and pool every day. The pool was kept at a great temp and the spa heated within 10 minutes. We really enjoyed the night lights. The family area off the kitchen was also a great hangout area to watch the games and the provided Netflix movies. The pictures don't do justice to how big the family area is! We made Thanksgiving dinner at the villa as well as other meals throughout the stay. We found the kitchen to be well supplied with dishes and cookware. We were very happy for the inside/outside dishes since we had little ones and didn't have to worry about breaking dishes. The villa even supplied "nice" plastic wine glasses to use while relaxing in the spa. The kids loved the two bedrooms with bunks and twin beds and the shared bathroom. Moms & Dads had their own bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Grandpa and Grandma really enjoyed their Master bedroom with large closet and ensuite bathroom. The villa provided plenty of towels and hangers. The washer and dryer were very useful to keep up on the towels. We did a Walmart pickup on our way from the airport for all of the necessary paper products, soaps, groceries and cocktails. We would suggest the Walmart pickup to others for the convenience and savings. There is a Publix very near the villa for extra items, but we found it to be spendy. We went to Old Town, Seaworld, Legoland and Disney Springs. No Disney for us this year (they seem to have lost their magic) Our kids absolutely loved Legoland - no lines! We also did a fishing charter out of Clearwater Beach and caught a large amount of fish. Since we had such a nice house, we were able to cook the fish right at the house - so enjoyable! Richard and Nick were very responsive before and during our stay. They actually called us the day after we arrived to make sure everything was in order. We would strongly suggest the villa Florida Delight to other families. It was a large part of our wonderful Thanksgiving Florida trip.

Just Perfect!

Our family of 8 have not long returned from an 8-night stay at the Villa, all I can say is WOW and that we didn’t want to come home! The Villa is huge, much bigger than it seems on the photos. Firstly, communication with Richard throughout from the initial booking to our arrival in villa was fantastic, he was always able to answer my queries and even gave us a call the morning after we arrived to see that we were all ok and settled and to answer any question we may have had. The Villa had everything we needed and more. There were comfy areas to relax and watch TV, the kitchen and dining area provided lots of space to prepare family meals. All the appliances worked brilliantly and there were plenty utensils, crockery, and dinnerware for a large family. The bedrooms were beautiful, each with their own bathroom and closet, the beds are huge and comfortable, I had great night’s sleep every night! There are TVs in each room with Netflix so all our children were catered for TV wise. Everything is labelled and there are lots of clear instructions on how to use things. The pool/outdoor area was just brilliant. The kids loved it. The Spa was perfect after days walking around the parks very relaxing. There are lots of lovely chairs, sofas and loungers to chill out on, we also ordered a BBQ which was there for us when we arrived. We liked how the pool area wasn’t overlooked by another property. It feels very private. There’s also lots of wildlife around, we even saw racoons! The games room was a hit with the kids who could play air hockey and pool whilst we prepared dinner, also a great area to dry swimwear and trainers etc. The villa is stocked up with lots of towels for everyone and a great laundry set up on the landing which was so useful for us. The complex felt very safe and secure, security on entering and leaving the complex was very professional. There is a Publix supermarket which is a 5 min drive away and also an Aldi another 5 mins along. On returning from the parks one day, we bumped into one of the neighbours who was lovely! She told us there was a Target and Dollar Tree etc 10 mins away too as we’d told her we needed emergency ponchos for the parks! They're so expensive to buy in the parks so this was a great tip. When the rain comes down in Florida, it REALLY comes down. The Disney parks are about 30/40 minutes away and we had no major traffic issues getting to them at all. We would 100% stay here again!

Nice location for family trip!

This house had everything. Plenty of room, great kitchen and pool area. We got confused on the door lock but easily got in touch with property management to get that settled. We had ourselves, our adult children, and parents and everyone had a good time.

Beautiful home!

This is the nicest rental where we have ever stayed. It was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. We actually spent most of our time at the property due to one of us undergoing chemotherapy treatments that were unknown at the time we booked. It allowed for a wonderful respite from cancer, and the five kids were never bored because of the pool, game room and many televisions. Richard and his family have thought of everything, and it is all clearly labeled too. We felt very much at home. We hope to return next summer.

Fabulous experience

A beautiful home, fabulous decor. Very spacious for our party of 8. Everything you need is there. So homely. Lovely bedrooms, plenty of towels. Love the pool and space around it. Lots of comfortable seating. Great location in a gated community. Mr & Mrs Marsh were very attentive & helpful. A fabulous holiday and we would definitely recommend Florida delight

Great place for large families

This property was exactly as advertised. Perfect for our family of 10 (7 adults, 3 kids). Large seating areas, dining options, pool was great. Other than the traffic getting to Disney and Universal, very good location, close to stores, shopping, etc. Had a small problem by getting the propane a day later than the grill (which needs to be updated/upgraded) but management company and owner's response was immediate and helpful. One suggestion-have the bedroom tv's be able to "hook up" to local channels, kind of inconvenient for anyone who wanted to watch "network" tv.

Beautiful home and quiet private location

We were here Jan 2022. Upon walking in to the property, the smell of a recently cleaned home filled the air! The furnishings are all very comfortable and the decor is beautiful! The mattresses are all very comfortable! I would suggest heating the pool and hot tub! Perfect after a day at the parks! The only issue we had was there were not enough towels and after speaking to the owner, brand new towels were brought the next day! Nicola and Richard are VERY responsive! The rugs in the home upstairs are a cream color and are showing wear and several stains here and there. This did not take away from our experience at all! The house is very very clean! Updated and warm and homey and very comfortable!! The pool area is a huge plus and plenty of room for everyone!! We will be back someday for sure!!!

About the host

Hosted by Richard Marsh

Host profile image
We are Nichola and Richard and we live in the north of England. We met at university, have been married for 40 years and have two sons, Chris and Ben. Chris is married to Magda and together they have our wonderful little grandson Tommy who will be 2 in 2025. They all love the fact that we have a holiday villa in Orlando.
Richard retired in 2014 after being a chemistry teacher for 32 years. I retired in 2016 after working in the pharmaceutical industry for the last 20 years. Over the nine years since we have owned Florida Delight we have really enjoyed spending a few weeks each year in Orlando escaping the cold winter weather in England and experiencing new places. We have also loved renting out our holiday home over this time to wonderful guests from so many different corners of the world. Many of these people we now consider as friends. As our knowledge of Orlando and the surrounding areas has grown over the years we have really taken pleasure in being able to give advice and recommendations to our guests should they ever want it.

Why they chose this property

We bought our holiday villa on Watersong after being inspired by a television programme in the UK about other couples who were buying a "place in the Florida sun" and after coming here ourselves and seeing how wonderful the area is and the beautiful property we knew it was the place for us. The villa itself is amazing, so beautifully light and spacious and better than any hotel we have ever stayed in. It is somewhere we feel so happy to be able to invite family and friends to come and stay for what will, we know, generally be a holiday of a life time. We also want all of our guests to feel the same joy that we do when they stay at Florida Delight and customer care is of paramount importance to us. Making sure that those who rent our villa are happy during their stay and everything is as as they had hoped, if not better, is what we and our local management team continuously strive to deliver.

What makes this property unique

We love everything about the property right from arriving at the impressive gated entrance to the resort next to the lake, which always makes us feel we have arrived somewhere very special, down to every little detail in the villa itself. Orlando is a very unique place which is very exciting, fun and busy with so many amazing things to see and do. However, we can't emphasise enough the sense of calm and relaxation we and we hope our guests feel upon arriving back at Watersong and in particular to our villa with its fabulous outside pool area that overlooks beautiful woodland and a lake at the rear. The villa is actually in an enviable spot on the resort as not only does it overlook woodland at the back it does not have any other properties directly facing it from the front and overlooks grass and trees. It really is the perfect retreat to recharge yourselves, in between all the fun packed activities Orlando has to offer.
