Florida Delight Details

 

Many thanks for viewing our villa, Florida Delight/Watersongvillarental which is our vacation rental home on the beautiful Watersong Resort in Davenport, Florida. We are Nichola and Richard and have been renting out our property for over nine years since having the house built off plan in 2014.
Customer Care is key to us in order to help all our guests have the vacation they have dreamed of. We know how important it is when you are investing in a holiday that you can trust the people you are booking with. Likewise, for us as owners it is key that we are able to have full confidence in the people who manage our villa locally and we are now in partnership with Homes of America to bring you a first-class short-term holiday rental home. They are our fantastic management team, Lynn, Dave and Ed out in Orlando, who professionally manage everything to do with the cleaning, maintenance and management of our villa to ensure everything is just right for our guests. Between us all we really hope to welcome you soon.

LOUNGE

Upon entering Florida Delight you will arrive at the first of two sitting areas found in the downstairs level of the villa. It is a large, welcoming lounge area, beautifully laid out with two three- seater sofas and an armchair, coffee table and lamps. There is a wall-mounted TV with Netflix in the lounge following a request from a former guest. We often have feedback that this television is really useful for when families with children are renting the villa so that they can relax and watch cartoons or a film of their choice in the lounge whilst the larger 65 inch TV in the main family living area is being used for watching sport!

A bar area just off the lounge is convenient for fixing snacks, pouring drinks and having everything nicely to hand. It is here that you will find the board games and packs of cards, as well as various local attraction leaflets and booklets. In the top cupboard on the right you will see a number of reading books left by previous guests. Please feel free to help yourself or leave a book that you may have finished reading whilst on your holiday. Future guests will always appreciate them. If you are in the mood for a board game or cards the lounge has a circular table and four chairs which is perfect for playing for a small number of people otherwise there is a very large table in the dining area for the game nights for the whole family.      

A downstairs toilet and vanity unit is situated on the ground floor.

 

FAMILY LIVING ROOM

From the lounge situated at the front of the villa you will wander through into the wonderfully spacious open kitchen, dining and family living area.

Large patio doors give the family living room direct access and views onto the pool area and also bring in a lot of natural light.

The family living room overlooks the outside pool area and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a film on the large 65 inch 4K TV which has superb picture quality and is fantastic for sports fans or watching a good film.  We have all the major US, UK and European networks as well as Netflix available on any of the nine televisions available throughout the villa.

Just sink into the large, luxurious sectional seating area for laying back and relaxing.  

We have provided two different telephone lines for your convenience. The black phones are for free local calls within the US. The blue phone is a direct line to our USA phone that we have  with us here in the UK should you need to contact us, although our local management company run by Lynn, Ed and Dave are the people to call first if there are any issues whilst you are staying at the villa.  Their number is found within the white property folder located downstairs in the villa.

DINING AREAS

The  massive indoor dining table comfortably seats up to 12 people and is a real show-piece. It has great views overlooking the pool area, but being indoors the air-conditioning ensures a cool, comfortable temperature for when you want it, or for the occasions when you want a more formal meal together. It is the perfect place to dine when you want a change from eating al fresco. Situated next to the kitchen it makes preparing and serving meals easy and very convenient but with the installation of very attractive light fittings above the table you can dim or brighten the lighting according to the mood and ambience you wish to create during mealtime.

 For a casual bite to eat or a coffee there are four bar stools at the breakfast bar to sit, chat and enjoy a leisurely snack. There is also the  smaller table and four chairs in the front lounge. There is a high chair available in the villa for families with a young child with them.

Florida is of course all about outside living and out on the patio next to the pool there are two dining areas at which you can choose to eat. One is located under the patio canopy and is ideal for mealtimes in the evening or when you want shade from the sun during the daytime. On the far side of the pool decking is another dining table and chairs as well as an umbrella for when you want to keep the sun off.  This is a favourite spot for enjoying breakfast and watching the birds and squirrels in the trees. There is flexibility and space for table and chair movement on the patio depending on the size of your group and where you want to sit. There is also a spare table under the canopy on which are stored the cushions overnight. We have installed additional privacy screening so that you can enjoy the best of outside living without ever feeling overlooked. The whole of the pool decked area has solar lighting so that you can enjoy being out by the pool in the evenings either for a meal, drinks or a swim under the stars. The floodlighting in the pool together with the twinkling solar lights combine to make the ouside area at night truly magical. 

KITCHEN

With the luxury of space, ample work surfaces in granite, quality appliances and equipment, the kitchen offers everything you need to make home cooking and entertainment a pleasure. Your own state of the art kitchen for when you want to have a change and “eat in”. This kitchen is superbly equipped with every modern convenience, including an American style fridge/freezer and ice machine, a small additional fridge which is great for cooling beers or wine, a large modern oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, blender, electric kettle and a waffle maker. There is even an Instant Pot which is an electronic/computerised pressure cooker or slow cooker which is fabulous for when you want to create a family meal within a short period of time or get a meal into the slow cooker before you head out for a busy day in the parks so that you can come home to a hot meal at the end of the day. There is all the crockery, cutlery and cookware you could possibly need. There is also a complete second set of stylish, quality plastic crockery and glasses (a necessity for your safety) to use in the pool area. As a keen cook myself, I do try to ensure that the villa is home from home when it comes to what is in the kitchen.

UTILITY AREA

A large washing machine, separate tumble drier, iron and ironing board are located  discreetly within a two door cupboard situated on the vast landing area upstairs. These make the holiday so much easier knowing that you can keep up with any washing that you may have as well as not having to bring quite so many clothes with you, which helps free up valuable space in your suitcases to take back any  new purchases that you make from the numerous shopping malls.  Opposite these utilities is a large towel cupboard should you need to replace those already in your bathrooms or need towels for the pool.  

GAMES ROOM

A large games room complete with pool table, air hockey, table football, a wall mounted 40“ Samsung HD TV and Bluetooth sound bar. With two raised bar stools and table there is a welcome spot for sitting and enjoying a drink while watching all the fun.      

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS

The six- bedroom accommodation comprises two king suites, two queen suites, one twin-bedded room and one bunk-bed room. The king and queen suites each have adjoining bathrooms.

A leather sofa provides the perfect spot for you to settle down for some serious gaming, enjoying a film or just relaxing for a quiet moment with a good book. 

The villa has air-conditioning throughout, so will remain at a constant cool temperature that will make you feel comfortable throughout your stay whatever the temperature outside. The whole villa has been decorated and furnished throughout by a leading interior designer to an extremely high standard and quality for your total enjoyment and pleasure.

OUTSIDE AREA

Attractively landscaped with palm trees and shrubs to the front. The rear of the villa has a wonderful view overlooking woodland and a lake. The 30’ x 15’ pool (max depth 5’) with separate spa (hot tub) have inbuilt floodlighting for the evenings. Security pool fencing is available for child safety and will always be erected upon your arrival.  The pool deck is one of the largest, if not the largest pool deck on Watersong and  has been extended to make the most of the sunshine and extends to 1200 square feet. There is a range of high quality pool furniture consisting of 4 loungers with drinks tables,  two dining tables and chairs for up to 10 people, a stylish and  very comfortable rattan 12 seater settee, perfect for group chats over a drink or laying out with a book in the sun plus coffee table and rattan foot stool.

The pool decking is covered by a lanai  which has additional 6 foot high privacy screening on both sides  so that you can truly relax without feeling overlooked. The fabulous view of the woodland and lake are not obscured by privacy screening though which means that you can sit and gaze at the amazing birdlife that is found on Watersong as well as catching the odd glimpse of other wildlife such as squirrels, a deer, armadillo or even the rather elusive tortoise!
