Felt like home!

This was a great place for our family to have a spring break getaway. The whole reservation and check-in process couldn’t possibly be any easier. Everything you need is provided in the house. It’s a quick drive to Disney World and the other parks, as well as Disney Springs. There are also many stores and restaurants very close by. We would stay here again!

Great location for your vacation

The location of this property is great! My family loved the quiet neighborhood and the pool was definitely a favorite. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need and I appreciated that there was a hair dryer I could use!

Great place for a family

The property was beautiful, and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances to be able to cook when needed. The owner was very responsive and answered all questioned quickly. My kids loved the pool as well. The pool had lots of safety features to try and prevent drowning that we didn’t need but appreciated it for those that do need them with younger kids.

Management (Gerry) was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Check in was easy, the kitchen was nice to use and they did have wifi. Concerns:- Neighborhood—my wife and daughter were taking a walk and didn’t feel comfortable with some of the locals. And there is an 11pm curfew in the neighborhood and someone had a house party thumping well past that just behind the house.

Fantastic stay

What fantastic hosts and property. This was our 4th visit to the area from the UK, so I knew the resort/location would be perfect, but Gerry’s exceptional hosting made all the difference. Any query or question we had was answered and/or actioned immediately, and as guests travelling from the U.K., we appreciated Gerry’s patience and flexibility. Property was great. Lovely pool/jacuzzi and everything we needed. Welcome pack was much appreciated too! Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Perfect for Family Visiting Disney

This was the perfect space for our family vacation to Disney. There are two masters with adjoining bathrooms (we included my parents) and the two bedrooms with twin beds have a bathroom in between. Everything was as described. Check In was a breeze and check out was a breeze. We would return if we wanted to do Disney again.

Nice host, clean place!

Gerry is a wonderful host! We had a minor issue with the pool (really not a big deal!). He answered right away and a fews hours later, the pool guy came and fixed it. The place is clean, the gated community is safe and very quiet. It’s close to the parks. I definitely recommend the place for a family stay!

Spring Break 2024

The house was a great base for us during our stay It was close Universal Studios about a 30 minute drive. The pool and hot tub were great to have after a long day at the park. We had an issue with the tv connecting and texted to let the house management know and he showed up for the fix. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Florida!

Great location!

We have previously stayed at this house and love staying at this house when we visit Orlando! It has a great location to parks and also surrounding entertainment and restaurants. Our family enjoys the private pool an hottub. The added grill was a big plus! This is a safe neighborhood and a very clean house with plenty of space to spread around. The kids enjoy the game room in the garage. We will definitely stay at this house again in the future.

Orlando Family Holiday

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at this villa. There was lots of space for the whole family and we really enjoyed relaxing in the pool and spa after a day at the parks. We arranged for the pool to be heated and it was a lovely temperature. There are lots of restaurants and shops locally and it is very close to all the theme parks. Check in was easy which was great as our flight arrived late in the evening. Gerry was really helpful and it is clearly important to him that his guests have a great holiday. I would definitely recommend this villa. Thank you Gerry.

Great house

First of all, I have stayed in Windsor Hills a few times and this is one of the best gated communities in the area and very close to the Disney parks. This house was great. Super clean and comfortable. There is also a fully stocked kitchen if you want to stay in but lots of great restaurants in the area if you like to dine out. The pool and hot tub were awesome. Paid a little extra and had the pool heated and it was the perfect temp every time we went in. Well worth it and a great end to a long day at the park. Finally Gerry the owner was great to deal with. So quick to respond to any questions and just overall provided a great experience. This is a great house and I would rent it again if available.

Best stay in orlando

This was a clean house with all amenities as listed. We were a family of 7 and we had ample space. There were TVs and cable in each room. Play room in garage was a huge hit! Kids loved the hot tub after the parks and I love to take a dip in the morning. The kitchen was very functional. Kids loved to get to the club house to play basketball and Ping pong! Communication with Gerry was great. We requested adjustment to thermostats and he obliged right away. All in all, this is a great place. I-4 is always backed up so it takes about 40 min to universal and 20-25 for Disney. We loved being here and we will definitely stay again.

This house is Southern Comfort at its finest!

Let me start by saying that everything about this house and experience was top notch. The owner, Gerry and property manager, Robert, couldn’t have been nicer. They were extremely responsive and willing to go the extra mile to answer questions or address any issues and made sure that we had what we needed. They were so wonderful to deal with and the best host and property manager that we’ve ever experienced at a vacation rental. The house was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and very well equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. We felt right at home as soon as we walked through the door. We enjoyed the private pool, hot tub, and fun game room. The house is in a beautiful, gated community. The community is in a great location, has many amenities, was clean, quiet, and the residents were extremely kind. The information book left for us in the house was very helpful with various information including activities, golf courses and restaurants in the area. My husband and I have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years, and this was by far the best experiences we have ever had. We highly recommend this property. It’s a 5-star home for sure!

Best of Windsor Palms

We stayed for a week in November at The Explorers Club. The villa is comfortable and well equipped. We were pleased to find a wide variety of kitchen amenities (much more than most villas supply). We found the beds to be kind of hard, but understand that everyone has different comfort levels. We paid the additional fee for pool heat and the pool was a very pleasant temperature for swimming all week even after the weather went into the 40s at night with highs in the low 60s. We really enjoyed the spa in the evenings as well. We did not come to the area for the popular parks but the kids were very happy with all that the home offered for them (games room, pool, separate bedrooms with their own tvs). The owner, Gerry, was very responsive about every issue we mentioned and Rob, the local property manager, was pleasant and quick to repair a few items we noticed needed attention (most renters unfortunately just don't treat rental properties with care the way they should). My boys are asking about when we can return (actually they want us to buy that house, lol). This is the third villa we've rented in Windsor Palms and the best yet!

What a lovely villa!

The Explorer’s Villa had loads of space, and was beautifully decorated and clean. Pool was good size, perfect temperature and hot tub very relaxing. (Even pool towels are supplied) Wifi was plenty fast enough, and multiple tvs had plenty of streaming options (Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc) The game room was fun! Beds were very comfortable with great ensuites. Kitchen large, and fully equipped. Nice to have the starter pack of toiletries, toilet paper, and kitchen kit. Villa is in a quiet gated complex, great location for visiting theme parks (all within 30mins drive) Space Centre (80 mins) and the coast. Lots of restaurants, takeaways, and shopping within 10-15mins drive! Recommend Cracker Barrel breakfasts, and for quick meals Raisin’ Cane chicken, Steak & Shake diner, Sickies Garage diner burgers, Culvers, and Panda Express. For more relaxed meals Bahama Breeze, and Cowfish (in Universal’s City Walk) It was quick and easy to communicate with the very helpful owner Gerry, and he had lots of useful suggestions for restaurants etc. He was also able to arrange a later check-out for us! (Pillows are quite soft and lumpy, that’s the only criticism) Had a problem with loud noise from some equipment on the wall of the neighbouring villa, just outside the window of our main bedroom (pool heater or aircon unit maybe) We told Gerry and he passed it on to the management company of the community, who sent a tech. Was not solved while we were there, but Gerry is sorting!
