Arrival was great, Maddie was great, but the property management could have been way more attentive. From the very first moment we used the pool/hot tub, there were issues. I understand that they only work until 5pm, but the fact that we had to let them know 3 times on 3 different days that there were issues with the pool is very disappointing. First the hot tub wouldn't heat up, then the pool was 105 degrees, then the third time it was still way too hot around 100 degrees. Finally I told them to just turn off the pool heat because its in the middle of July and the pool doesn't need heat. The 4th time we used the pool it was finally good because we filled it with cold hose water. There were some other minor issues like several of the towels were not clean even though they were folded like they were. Three closet doors need some TLC, the kitchen cabinets need some TLC, and the master bathroom needs brighter lighting. Also the water pressure in the shower and heads are very low, could use some improvement there as well. One last suggestion, it would be nice to have check out at 11am. So mainly other than the major pool temp issues, the property itself, as well as the prime location near Walmart (like 3 minutes away), was really nice and we enjoyed it otherwise. I think it would have been a bigger issue if we didn't have other things planned during our stay.
The house was very nice. Lots of room for everyone. We enjoyed the outside a lot. It was very hot out so the air in the house was at 72. The bedrooms didnât have a lot of cold air or air flow but overall it was nice.
We really enjoyed this very nice home. It had all the amenities as described. The house was setup very nicely with everything you can imagine you would need, ie. coffee pots, high chair, playpen, plenty of towels, etc. We are very happy with everything.
Our party of eight included eight year-old granddaughters, their parents in their late 30s early 40s, and grandparents in their late 60s. We found this home to be extremely clean, convenient to all the Disney action, and the pool was an absolute must for our granddaughters. The home decor was lovely, and the home itself well appointed. I would love to stay here again someday.
The view from the pool was very nice.It was close to grocery stores and other things. It was perfect place to stay with my family. I left my hair dryer and they will mail it back to my home. Maddie was quick to respond to my messages and is thoughtful.
The house is as described and met all the needs of our family of 7 easily.Pros: large, clean, and beautifully decorated home. The bathrooms were updated and very nicely appointed with the master having a very large soaking tub.Seating in the living room and game room was ample and comfortable with very nice furniture. Every room except the kitchen had a functioning television which made lounging separately a nice. Every room had a ceiling fan.A new washer dryer set up was available and really useful for laundering for the group between the parks and pool.Note: The entire pool was heated to 90 degrees which was only a few degrees cooler than the hot tub. We had no problem with it, but others may not like it depending on the temperature outside. Cons: Traffic near the home is is kept locked at 74 which is acceptable, but humidity can be a problem in the home when the AC is not running during the night and morning hours, but almost all rooms had fans and they were useful for keeping it comfortable. Hotels donât do that.There is also an odor outside the front entrance that is unpleasant when walking through.The hot tub itself did not have functioning jets. A knob is available to turn the jets on, but they would only burble as if there may be something wrong so we simply stopped turning it after the first few attempts. We spent every evening/night in the hot tub regardless, but that was disappointing. In terms of sundries, you must provide almost everything yourself.
We really enjoyed this lovely home. We stayed with 3 moms and 3 teen girls. The view of the lake and the pool is amazing, Great location, easy access to Walmart, Chick Fil A, Universal and Disney.
A Perfect Getaway: My family has stayed at this house for the past 4 years and I can't say enough great things about the experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property was thoughtfully designed to create an ideal home-away-from-home atmosphere. The host Maddie is so accommodating and gracious. Location:The home's location was unbeatableânestled in a quiet, safe gated neighborhood just a short drive from Disney World,. Additionally, grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping centers were conveniently nearby, making it easy to stock up on essentials or enjoy a night out.Amenities:The house itself was stunning and immaculately clean. The spacious layout comfortably accommodated our group of 9 with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the cookware we needed to prepare meals. One highlight was the private pool and spaâperfect for relaxing after a long day at the parks.Entertainment Options: Inside the home, there was no shortage of entertainment. From a cozy living room with a large flat-screen TV to a game room equipped with a pool table. The Wi-Fi was strong and reliable, which was great for streaming movies or staying connected. We will be booking our next vacation here soon! Comfort and Style:
Clean, with everything we needed, secure, South oriented dream house for our Family gatheringMaddie has been available and helpful at all time ! We lives our stay and would love to come back
Southview is a lovely house, in picturesque surroundings looking out onto the lake. ideally located in Kissimmee, great for restaurants and a short drive to the parks. The property has everything you could possibly need for a family vacation, highly recommended. I hope to stay here again in the future. The owner of this property was a first class host and went beyond expectations to ensure my family had a fabulous experience staying there.
Perfect base, wonderful villa and a fantastic stay.
We had a great time - brilliant location: convenient for parks, shops and restaurants, very safe and secure.
Only used the 3 double rooms as a party of 6 adults: lots of space and the beds were SUPER comfyâŠ. All the mod-cons and facilities you could ever want in a villa, Maddie has thought of / provided everything - pool was lovely on our chill days, we even tried a bit of fishing in the beautiful lake but no luck đ
Would definitely recommend Southview, our stay was perfect in every way and communication was excellent right from the very first message to the time we left.
Thank you so so much Maddie, we had the best family holiday and your beautiful home was a big part of that - looking forward to rebooking for our next trip.
From the moment we booked to the moment we got back to the UK Maddie looked after us and made us feel so welcome.
The house is beautiful, in a lovely, gated, tranquil community and has those gorgeous sunsets every day!
If you want the convenience of being near the parks (and everything else Orlando has to offer) but appreciate a bit of time and space to unwind at the end of the day, I canât see how you could do much better than this home.
I could not find fault with this villa at all. The brand-new mattresses were very comfortable. The heated pool was perfect, and very much enjoyed by the kids. Overall it's the best villa we have stayed at, in and around the Kissimmee area. We look forward to returning and have already booked our next stay in this lovely villa.
We had a wonderful April vacation stay at this property. We have rented other places in the past and this one was by far our best yet. We cook a lot and found that the cookware and appliances were perfect for what we needed. The kids loved the pool (we had it heated) and enjoyed fishing in the lake. We would definitely return to this property again. Maddie was very responsive during our time there with any communication. Thank you!
Denis and I were married for nearly thirty nine years before he sadly passed away. We had two children, Suzanne and Robert. We had grown up together and family life was central to us both. I had been fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom and made it my mission to provide a loving home environment for us all; this is something which I am immensely proud of. I have now turned my attention to our home in Florida. Families play an important role in our lives and we hope this devotion has transcended into our stunning home in Florida. We are fortunate to call previous guests, friends, and for us this is what owning a home is all about. Communication is the keyâŠit is not a blind transaction, we are here to make sure your stay is as pleasurable as possible. Trust is also a key feature.
Florida and families go hand-in-hand. There is no better place for us than the peaceful oasis of the upmarket gated community of Lake Berkley Resort. As soon as we visited the area we knew it was the place for us. It has so much to offerâŠtennis, basketball, volley ball, and much, much more. It is a wonderful place to take time-out to be with your children and family members. Our resort is so tranquil; a haven for wildlife and our newest addition is our fabulous community pool and splash area for adults and children alike! It is so central to all of Orlandoâs attractions dining, shopping and much, much more.
Our home is sumptuously decorated, we believe we have created a real quality family environment, a home from home, a place where you can come together but still have areas to go off to if you so wish. An unusual feature of our home is our professionally installed stunning interior games room which we have lovingly decorated. Time and effort has been spent giving our home the attention to detail our guests expect. We are delighted to have created a quality environment for all to enjoy. Regular personal visits ensures that our home remains immaculate for ourselves and our visitors. We are confident it will exceed all your expectations of what a vocational rental home can and should offer.
