We have sought to make our villa a home from home for oursleves and for our guests. We love going there and hope that you will too.
The large, attractive lounge with a more formal dining area boasts FREE wireless internet access, a flat screen TV, with DVD player and has a patio door to the fully lit pool area. One sofa converts to a double bed.
The bedrooms consist of a master king room with en suite bathroom (large walk-in shower) together with a queen room and twin room (admirably suited for children), adjacent to a second bathroom. All bedrooms have FREE cable TV.
The separate, spacious kitchen with dining area is fully equipped and there is a laundry area leading off with large washer and drier. All bed linen and towels are provided.
Pool heating is available on request and there are ample poolside recliners, chairs and tables for al fresco eating or just relaxing.
FREE telephone calls Local & Long Distance calls to anywhere in US, Canada and Puerto Rico are included. Cot and high chair are available in the house.
Our home is situated on the quiet, attractive mature lakeland community of Bridgewater Crossing with facilities including a full sized swimming pool, tennis courts, volley ball area and plenty of room to stroll or picnic. The Disney complex is a 15 minute car ride away (8 miles north west), with a choice of excellent golf courses even closer. The newly opened Legoland is a comfortable 30 minutes drive from the villa. There are first rate shopping facilities just 3 minutes distance by car together with banks and restaurants for dining in or take away. A little further afield are the towns of Kissimmee(15 minutes) and Orlando (22 minutes) that offer a huge range of retail opportunities, adventure activities and restaurants. Both the Atlantic (Cape Canaveral) and Gulf (Tampa & St Petersburg) coasts can be reached by car comfortably in an hour, whilst an away-day trip would allow a visit to Miami and the fabulous Everglades. For those seeking a more relaxing holiday this part of Florida offers opportunities for exploring numerous wildlife parks (usually free) for photography, bird watching, fishing or acquiring a gentle tan!

Excellent family holiday
We had a wonderful holiday here in November 2010. The house was extremely comfortable and well maintained.
We have 2 children (a 3 year old and 4 month old baby) and the house was perfect for a young family. The kitchen is well equiped with everything you could want including a microwave and huge fridge/freezer. There was a travel cot and high chair provided. There is plenty of space - enough to accommodate the grandparents as well!
The swimming pool was great and because it is so close to the house those who wanted to splash about could do so, and those who'd had enough of the sun could sit in comfort inside. There were plenty of pool toys available - we didn't need to bring anything.
Disney world is only 15 minutes away by car and after a hard day in the parks when we were all Mickey'd out, it was great to be able to come back to a comfortable house in a quiet neighbourhood and flop infront of the TV or relax by the pool.
The description of the property was accurate and the owner was very helpful and easy to deal with. I would recommend this to anyone looking for accommodation near the theme parks, and have been busy recommending it to all our friends since our return.

Great villa for family Disney holiday
We have just returned from 2 weeks stay in this villa. The description is accurate and the owner communication was excellent, including receipts,easy to follow directions for key collection and location of villa. What we liked most about the villa was that it felt spacious yet homely. It was very well equipped and everything was very clean. There were toys for the pool, plenty of chairs and plenty of towels. There were 4 of us but the villa would suit 6 comfortably or 8 at a squeeze.
The location of the villa was ideal and it was easy to get to any of the attractions and amenities needed.
We wished we had booked 3 weeks and if we go again that's what we'll do! We would happily use this villa again and would reccommend it to friends. We feel it is good value for money and it offers everything required for a great Disney holiday.

Perfect Holiday Getaway
After arriving tired from a long flight the house was clean, bright and comforting. Everything a young family would need was available including a good sized pool and outside space. TVs in every room helped with family squabbles and the WiFi was useful for my teenager to keep in touch
with home.
The development itself has tennis and basketball courts and a larger pool for the more energetic. The estate however is quiet and relaxing after a busy day visiting Orlando and/or Disney.
Bridgewater Crossing has an excellent supermarket and various shops, takeaways etc a short drive away. Also Champions Gate golf complex is only 2 minutes drive away. (Will try and get a tee time this year)
We are hopefully returning later this year to this highly recommended villa.

Wonderful Time.Great for Disney!
We stayed at Hollingshead Loop last Spring. It was our 3rd time in 2 years. This is a great place. We were surprised that is was built in 2000 since everything seemed brand new.
Disney was about 15 mins away up the I-4 and the pool was the perfect size for us.
Having the Publix supermarket 4 mins away was also great since we were able to stock up for the week quite cheaply.
During our time there , the grass was cut and the pool was tested for cleanliness. Property management was available for any help/info.
Very enjoyable Holiday - we will be back!
