☀️🌴Award-Winning Golf, Disney/Universal, Pool, Clubhouse/Gated Community 🌴☀️

🏠 Southern Dunes Villa Retreat - Beautiful 4 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom home with secluded private pool overlooking the 7th fairway on the award-winning Southern Dunes Golf Course.

🎡 Situated only 20min from Legoland, and less than 30mins from Disney. All of the popular theme parks are a reasonable distance away, including Universal, SeaWorld, and Bush Gardens.

🛌🏻 This home is ideal for families. The Master Bedroom Suite is spacious with a King Size bed and en-Suite 5 Piece bathroom. Two bedrooms each have two twin beds and the 4th bedroom has a queen bed. All Bedrooms come equipped with flat screen TVs. Relax in the spacious and comfortable living room with large sliding doors offering gorgeous views of the pool and golf course

☕️The open floor plan kitchen is beautifully updated with granite counters and stainless appliances. Equipped with all the basics guests can take pleasure preparing meals at home to be enjoyed in the separate dining room, cozy breakfast nook, or Al Fresco poolside on the Lanai. Alternatively take a stroll to the Golf Club for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner in their fully licensed restaurant and bar.

☀️ Enjoy the fully screened-in private pool area which provides plenty of sunshine for swimming and sunbathing while keeping unwanted guests (Florida critters) at bay. Option to have the pool heated during cooler months is at an additional cost.

⛳️ Golfers this one is for you too! Don’t pass up the opportunity to play one of the best golf courses in Orlando, FL. Southern Dunes is an award-winning golf course with pro-shop and fully licensed restaurant and bar. It’s spectacular design, distinctive look, and impeccable playing surfaces has kept Southern Dunes consistently ranked among the nation’s best.

🔒Have peace of mind during your stay. The Resort is in a gated community with a 24 hour manned guard at the entrance. Other community features include well maintained tree lined streets, manicured lawns, community pools and work out centers, tennis courts, a playground area for children and nature walking trails.

🍊Just outside the gated community are a number of restaurants with a variety of dining options and a Wal-Mart, Dollar Tree, and Winn Dixie Grocery store to stock up on additional provisions. A littler further towards the I-4 intersection guests can browse popular retail stores such as Target, Ross, Dick's Sporting Goods etc. or head on over to the Eagle Ridge Mall on Highway 27.

🏖 Fancy a swim in the ocean? A short road trip will have you at some of Florida’s best beaches in no time. About 2 hours away on the Gulf Coast, pure white sandy beaches and crystal calm waters can be found at coastal resorts such as Clearwater Beach and Siesta Keys. Famous Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, and Daytona Beach are about an hour away. Since you’re in Florida and if you have a little extra time visit the magnificent Florida Keys about a 4 hour drive from Southern Dunes.

❤️Whether you plan on enjoying the bustle of Orlando, the thrills of the theme parks, the excitement of a great round of golf, the sizzling beaches nearby or simply lounging by the pool we look forward to hosting you in our home and make your stay one to cherish and remember.

Lovely home
This is the seventh property we’ve stayed in in the Orlando area and we found it to be excellent. It was tastefully decorated, impeccably clean and had every single kitchen gadget you can think of to make our stay more comfortable - the air fryer was a godsend when the kids wanted a quick and easy meal. Kazan, the host, was always extremely quick to respond to any questions we had and the home is in a beautiful community that is extremely peaceful and pristinely maintained. We loved that Walmart was just a five minute walk away (so convenient when you run out of groceries) and our favourite restaurant, Manny’s, is just a short walk or even shorter drive away. My only (minor) criticisms would be; there weren’t quite enough coat hangers for our clothes; there are only two bathrooms (which was occasionally an inconvenience if our teenage boys were using one each - you know how long men love to take in the bathroom); the light over the outdoor area didn’t work - perhaps a bulb had gone but it was too high for us to reach; and the pool deck had a few rust stains from the furniture and maybe is due a touch-up. All that said, it wasn’t enough to put us off and we have already booked this home again for next year. It was a delightful stay and I can’t wait to return.

Fabulous Stay!
We had the most amazing stay in this beautiful villa. The property is an absolute delight and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. Our trip to Orlando this year was to relax by the pool and the guys to go golfing (we have done the parks a couple of times), and we could not have asked for anything more! Kazan was the most wonderful host, who helped us move to this villa from the original we had booked into, that did not have a functioning pool. Kazan could not do enough for us in a very difficult situation that did spoil our first 2 days of our holiday. The communication from Kazan was above and beyond what we expected, and I felt that I had made a friend. So much so, we have already booked this villa for next year, and are counting the days already! Thank you Kazan for a most amazing stay in your beautiful home. Mandy Gray and Family May 2024

This house was amazing. Spotless. Looked exactly like the photos. Usually the houses seem bigger in photos, and this one was bigger in person! Huge bedrooms, kitchen and living room. The pool was outstandin, extremely clean and warm! Everything was well kept, inside and out. My family and i have stayed in quite a few rentals and this was our favorite. Definitely will be staying again! Felt very safe in the neighborhood, and surrounding areas. Beautiful house and gold course/neighborhood! 10/10. Host was amazing and answered any questions i had almost immediately. Loved it! Great vacation.

The drive to Disney wasent bad. Traffic could get a little lengthy. The place was clean, the heater on the pool was perfect for the kids. We came to celebrate our kids bdays and Christmas. I wouldn't consider it luxury but it was clean, nice, and comftorable. Would def stay again.

Not too shabby
Lets get the bad out of the way. I don't like having a thermostat that I cannot control. Sure I had some control but wasn't able to lower less than 72°. After bargaining back and forth I was met in the middle and they lowered the temp to 70°. I was asking for 68° and was denied. This thermostat is controlled by the property manager via the internet. Their rebuttal is pointless and it will fall on my deaf ears as I am a HVAC technician. Don't tell me it will cause the condenser to freeze up when the ambient is at 74° The traffic in this gated community moves very quickly. The owner and property manager unfortunately can not control this. The house was absolutely spotless and had no odors. As a guy that travels frequently I find this hard to find. Either it smells dirty or like Febreze. The cleaning staff does an amazing job at this property. The pool was also clean. We frequent this area and I've never had a pool this well maintained. The kitchen was adequately stocked. The beds weren't my cup of tea but I am Sleep Number biased. The owner is a peach and was very easy to communicate with. We had a situation arise and she was quick to squash it out. I would not stay here again simply because of the thermostat issue. We were here for a week and 70° for this fatboy is just too hot for sleeping. The jokes on them because I sweat like a pig in a blanket at night. Have fun washing them sheets. If you're comfortable with 72° you will absolutely love this place.

Problem with VRBO
When I tried to get information on my stay, VRBO said I had no trip. I was able to contact a rep who was kind enough to give me the address and owners info 3 days before we checked into our property. I contacted the owner, by phone, for entry information into her home. We have stayed in the area before so was familiar with the protocol. Not sure what happened on VRBO end and MY Trip plan but it was not helpful. So glad I could make contact with the owner of our property. Our stay at her property was wonderful!

Just Ok
Villa is listed as luxury. Not really how I would describe it. Sagging sofa, broken clothes maiden, one tea spoon, mixed pottery dated furnishings and bathrooms, not what I would describe as luxury. Communication was good with owners, check in easy and neighbour hood was convenient. About 40 min drive to Disney parks, plenty of restaurants and supermarkets close by. I would give this property an 3 star rating overall.

Super Time
Stayed here recently with family and had a brilliant time. Villa is excellent and in a great situation. Great view watching the golfers and sunsets. Gated community which is excellent and very safe. House has everything you would want though a little bit more utensils would be beneficial in the kitchen. The only other gripe I had was there was quite a few bugs in the pool each morning which I know is normal but seemed more than there should be. However I think all was required was to fix the screen as there were a few holes in it and also some gaps between screen joining and the ground. So as I say easily fixed. . One other thing I would recommend is maybe leave some milk , water, bread and maybe coffee on arrival. We were badly delayed and didn’t arrive until 3 in the morning and Walmart is no longer 24hr so were completely stuck after a very long flight. But these are very small gripes. Having owned a property on Hemingway for 15 years until a few years ago we were not sure what to expect on our return as we love the development and surrounding area. It’s near enough to Disney but away from the madness so you get peace and quiet and also only over an hour away from west and east coast. Would we come back to this property again? Without question. Kazan was also brilliant during booking process. Many thanks. You will see us again.

This house was beautiful, comfortable, and had plenty of room. It's about 30 minutes from Disney and conveniently close to the I-4 (so pretty much a straight shot). We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even though we barely spent any time there, except to sleep and eat breakfast.

Absolute PERFECTION! We couldn’t figure out why we were so relaxed there but did upon arrival back home. This home is on the 7th hole - a beautiful backdrop of greenery, the pool, all perfect and serene! The amenities were flawless! Our oldest works remotely in healthcare and was able to do so Thursday and Friday without any issues. The community is simply stunning 😍 a quiet neighborhood which is exactly what we wanted… And I saved the best for last - Kazan is AMAZING! She is the epitome of customer service - she’s kind, patient and was very quick and efficient in providing answers to all of the questions I had prior to our stay. We WILL be back soon!

Great Week
My family of 4 stayed at the villa while in town for a baseball tournament in Auburndale. Villa was clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. The Southern Dunes location was convenient to groceries, and restaurants. I loved having my teenage boys on one side of the home with their own bathroom and the primary suite on the other side. My family enjoyed watching the golfers throughout the day, the various birds at sunset and we spent most evenings by the pool. This villa had everything we needed to make it a great week.
