Excellent family vacation spot
I would absolutely recommend this location for anyone looking for that ideal family Friendly vacation getaway. The kids and adults all enjoyed the game rooms and the well stocked kitchen made creating meals a breeze. We traveled in December/January so it’s was cooler in the evenings, we took advantage of the hot tub nearly every evening. It’s in a Quiet neighborhood, close to so many activities. Gary is an amazing host and responds quickly to any questions ,or concerns. We hope to make it back next year to spend another week at this house, it exceeded my expectations. Additionally, was just after Christmas when we checked in, the house was tastefully and elegantly decorated. Throughout. It was a beautiful touch.

Amazing lake view and great location
We loved our recent stay at this villa! The pool deck was perfect for enjoying the sun and has lots of seating. The pool is very private thanks to the established shrubs around the property and has an amazing lake view. The villa is also really close to lots of restaurants and a quick drive to the Disney area. Gary was friendly, helpful and very quick to respond to any questions we had. This is definitely the best villa we've stayed at in Orlando. Highly recommend it!

Our 1st VRBO experience
We stay at Disney each year we come to Florida, but wanted to try something different this year. The home is in an awesome location! It really is a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood. The pool and game room were very nice, along with the view over the lake. We were traveling with a one year old, and were a bit nervous to stay somewhere with a pool. So the alarm system on the door was great! We would definitely stay here again!

Tranquil Vacation
The property was everything it was described to be. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you would need as well as the finest appliances. The furnishings were first rate and the pool area is fabulous with the large pool, lanai and bar area - plenty of furnishings in the pool area! Gary and the property manager Gerhard were such a pleasure to work with and so accommodating - made our stay so enjoyable! Deborah & Matthew Ruzicka

House in Four Corners
Our stay was really nice. We did have to purchase a few things however that were not supplied: toilet paper, paper towels, clothing soap/fabric drier sheets and a pool skimmer because a few of the bird cage screens were missing and there were always bugs in the pool. Other than that....the house was clean and very nicely decorated.

Fantastic home!
We had a wonderful time at this house. Every night was spent in the hot tub after using the outdoor grill/bar area for dinner. We had fun in the game room playing pinball (my future son-in-law made the highest score!), arcade games, pool, and air hockey. The ever attentive Alexa was great to have as we played all sorts of music both in the house and out on the pool deck. Beds were comfy. We had a few minor hiccups, but the owner answered quickly and helped us out. If we are ever in need of a rental home in the Kissimmee, this will be the one we will hope to get again!

Great Stay, Second Time!
This was our second year coming to the Lakeside Villa, and it was just as wonderful as last year! The weather was iffy, but on those days there was plenty to do inside the house, with the updated game room, multiple TV areas, and a spacious kitchen--so everyone was content! The heated pool and hot tub are the star for our crew...and even in less than sunny weather, we managed to be in the pool numerous times a day! The view out to the lake continues the vista, making this a truly special place. We also loved the updated lighting and the renovated bedrooms! This house is in the perfect location for everything you need--easy access to grocery stores, pharmacies and you can zip over to the Disney parks in less than 15 minutes. The owner and property manager are both easy to communicate with, which makes it perfect! Our 7 year old refers to this as his "Dream House", and it sure is! We will be back next year to enjoy it again!

Fabulous holiday home for family gathering.
We have had a wonderful stay at Gary's villa, and from start to finish he was helpful, thoughtful and accommodating. The house was everything we hoped for and was well stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect with just a short drive to the parks, and the pool was fabulous with a lovely lake view to enjoy sunsets. The outdoor BBQ was great. Gerhard, the manager, was quickly available to help with occasional hiccups and we were able to rent child seats and strollers for a very reasonable fee. We had a great stay. Would love to repeat it!

Wonderful villa.
The villa met our expectations and more! It was larger than it looked on the photographs, was beautifully furnished, well equipped and very comfortable. The outside pool area and pool was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed by all the family, ages ranging from 7 to 69. Looking out onto the lake was relaxing and peaceful . Formosa Gardens was a beautifully kept estate and was very close to all Disney Parks and supermarkets. The property manager was very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this villa to everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Steer

Host profile image
I grew up in a small fishing village in the S west of England and spent most of my career working in the Oil and Gas telecoms industry providing voice and data services to oil rigs in remote regions.

Why they chose this property

Superb family vacation villa very much focused on the pool and deck space.

What makes this property unique

I chose this wonderful home for its large South facing pool deck with beautiful lake views with easy access to Disney attractions. The villa has one of the best out door spaces with spectacular sunset views across the lake from the bar and pool. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we do.
