The villa is 5 star, spacious and super comfortable - gorgeous inside and out.

5 out of 5 |
We have just returned from our 4th holiday at this fabulous Florida Delight villa, with a great friends and hosts Nic and Richard. The villa is 5 star, spacious and super comfortable - gorgeous inside and out. The outdoor area includes the coveted orange sofa area which is a top spot to sit and relax! The wildlife in the area always excites us and this area of Florida has wildlife in abundance. So much to do, from nature reserves to the theme parks....and always perfect to come back to Watersong at the end of the day. Wish we were still there!
Response: Dear Clare, many thanks for the great review. We have loved having you and Gerry stay over the past couple of weeks. The orange sofa is as much loved by you all now as it was when you first stayed but even more so now since we added more seating to it since your last stay so even more space to chill out (although we all rushed to be the first to nab the coveted corner spots!!). Wish you were still here too. Nic and Rich x

Would love to do it all again one day.

We stayed at this wonderful villa for 3 weeks, celebrating my 50th Birthday, Christmas and New Year. We had the most memorable holiday. The Villa was perfect for a large family, so spacious and beautifully decorated. Being able to have all 10 of us sit together at the lovely dining table overlooking the pool for Christmas Lunch was just perfect! It was our first ever Christmas away from home so we decorated to make it feel festive. And used the butlers pantry for a hot chocolate station for the kids. Would love to do it all again one day.
Response: Oh my goodness Charmaine this is fabulous! What great photos and amazing to see photos of a family staying at Florida Delight at Christmas. You have really decorated it beautifully and we love the Christmas hats hanging on the back of each seat. Love the stockings up the bannister too. Your family must have been so excited on Christmas Day. Thank you for having spent such a special time of both your 50th birthday and Christmas at our villa. We are so pleased that it was a happy and enjoyable stay for you x If anyone wants to see the photos that were posted with this review please go to our Facebook page Florida Delight and you will see some wonderful Christmas photos of Charmaine and her family enjoying Christmas Day at the villa.

We have just arrived home after a beautiful two weeks at Florida Delight. November weather has not disappointed for us. We are good friends of the owners but they always ask us to let us know if anything has not been to standard! They do this so they can put it right but we have been several times now and can honestly say that their attention to detail is superb. We were all at University together (all those years ago!) but it’s like rolling back the years when we all chill together on the outdoor orange sofa in our PJs reminiscing and drinking wine. The villa is as 5* now as it was on our first of 4 visits in 2015. Nic and Richard are constantly looking for ways to improve things for their guests to make sure they have the best possible holiday. It’s our choice to visit all the local wildlife but it is so close to all the theme parks. We are always finding new areas to explore and Nic blogs about these to help guests explore the area. We are lucky to have her as our ‘tour leader’ but explore their website and you will find lots of helpful information on there too.
Response: Dear Karen, thank you so much for your review. I know you are our friends but feedback from friends is so important and helpful in this business. It has been around 4 years now since your last stay and we are really pleased that you feel that the villa is still as good as it was then let alone when you originally came right back in 2015. Glad you liked the days out we took you on. It never ceases to amaze me just how much there is to do out here as even after four holidays here with us we were still able to take you to a lot of new places and experience things that you hadn't done on any of your previous trips. Thanks for suggesting other guests check out our website if they want to for ideas of days out, it is always nice to share suggestions of what to do over here some of which people might not have thought about before. Many best wishes, Nic and Rich x

Spotless, spacious, and just simply amazing

Just had the most amazing 19 days staying at Florida Delight.. absolutely beautiful villa with everything you need and more. Spotless, spacious, and just simply amazing. Richard and Nicola have been brilliant from the day we booked our stay with them up until leaving. They couldn't do enough for us. We have loved experiencing what Villa life is like, the pool was so warm and the jacuzzi was just amazing after our long busy days out. The surrounding areas are just beautiful and it's the perfect location for both theme parks and just exploring what Florida has to offer in general. It's been a pleasure staying at Florida Delight and we will 1000% be returning
Response: This is fantastic Lauren thank you so much! We are so happy that the villa was such a hit with you all. I know you were out and about enjoying the theme parks and everything else that Orlando has to offer but from what you told me you were able to get time relaxing round the pool and at the villa too. We certainly hope you do come again and would love to have you and your family as guests again.

Great large home

4 out of 5 |
Was a great place, the A/C was broke during 70% of our stay but the owner was very understanding and worked with us.
Response: Dear Jason, Many thanks for the review. We are so sorry that the downstairs A/C broke down while you were there. It is one of those things with any home, be it a villa that is being rented for a holiday or our own homes that something can break down and need replacing. It is just incredibly disappointing and frustrating when it happens during a guests’ holiday both for the guests of course and for us as owners as not something that anyone wants to happen. We did contact an A/C company as soon as there was an issue and they came out but it wasn’t a quick fix unfortunately and we had to buy a new A/C unit that was installed as soon as they could. It didn’t help with the breakdown coinciding with 4th July public holiday which also caused a bit of a delay with the company being able to fix it. Sadly these things do take time with companies coming out to assess the situation then getting hold of a new unit and coming to fit it and for your holiday as you say, for 70% of the time you didn’t have the A/C working downstairs. We do thank you very much for your patience and understanding in the matter and for having booked with us in the first place. With very best wishes from Nichola and Richard

We had the best time yet again, faultless!! Such a beautiful villa. We’ll be back one day for sure. Thank you for such an amazing holiday
Response: Hi Jade. Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased that you and your family have enjoyed another holiday at our villa and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

I could go on and on all day about how great this villa is

5 out of 5 |
We had an amazing fortnight at Florida Delights making some new Orlando memories. Nichola and Richard provided all the information we could need (and more) for our booking making our arrival after a long flight smooth and hassle free. The villa is beautiful. We have stayed in various villas and visited Orlando often over the past 20 years but this villa is one of the best villas we have stayed in. It’s spacious, clean and the pool deck (which is important for us) has lots of room and is well equipped. Right down to USB charging lamps in every room (which my kids loved) The owners have thought of everything that you might need for a stay here. Richard called me after we arrived just to check everything was ok and to see if we needed anything and genuinely just wanted us to have a great stress free stay. I mentioned to Richard that there was an ant hill next to the driveway and front door (which is common for Orlando) and we came back that day and the maintenance had been and sorted it. And we never had a problem the rest of the stay. I could go on and on all day about how great this villa is, and have already recommended it to friends and family for future stays. But the best thing I can say is that when we are going back to Orlando this will be our first choice!
Response: This is a wonderful review Heather thank you so much and we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay so much.

This was a perfect villa and location to relax and enjoy the beauty of Florida, a truly memorable place
|
5 out of 5 |
This was my first time in the villa and Florida and it was a perfect holiday from the moment we arrived and walked through the door until the day we left. The villa is perfect for a group or family holiday, it is large, spacious, luxurious, well equipped and has everything you need to make your holiday comfortable and special. Plenty of places for mingling, eating and relaxing and very comfy , spacious bedrooms. The pool and jacuzzi were glorious , warm and there is a perfect spot on the edge of the pool to have a morning coffee and watch out for birds and other creatures through the trees and the Spanish fern, looking across towards the lake. The location is quiet and well located for shops, restaurants and you are soon on the road to get to a load of beautiful and fun places . Richard and Nichola are very helpful and dedicated hosts. I would highly recommend this villa and the beauty and wildlife which Florida has to offer.
Response: Hi Jacky, thank you very much for the review. It was good to read about how much you have enjoyed the wonderful wildlife around the villa. It is such a bonus being able to have a morning cup of coffee and watching the sunrise through the trees and the large Floridian birds flying overhead. Sounds like you got the perfect balance of relaxation at the villa and fun out and about.

From the moment we walked into the villa we knew we’d got lucky!

5 out of 5 |
From the moment we walked into the villa we knew we’d got lucky! It is incredibly spacious, and the downstairs layout is great – a lovely big open plan kitchen and social space with quieter areas to sit as well - which was perfect for our group. The main bedrooms that we used felt luxurious and the beds were so comfortable. The outside area is fabulous with plenty of seating. The heated pool was perfect for our early morning dip and evening jacuzzi! Watersong is perfectly located for the parks as well as other days out, so we had a nice balance of the theme parks, days out exploring and chilling by the pool. We couldn’t have hoped of a better setting. Everything that we needed was provided, and the hosts were incredibly helpful and friendly, before and during our stay. The house was spotlessly clean.
Response: Hi Alison, thank you for your great review. Really pleased that the villa was as good as you had hoped especially the amount of space that it has as I know that was important to you with the size of your group. We hope you return again some day. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

It sparkled and shone in such an inviting way

From the moment I walked through the front door I felt I was surrounded in luxury, it sparkled and shone in such an inviting way. The kitchen area was perfect for our social gathering each evening after exploring the surrounding area. The pool was spotless with a beautiful jacuzzi and lounge area. The atmosphere created here in the evening was very restful.The beds were huge and comfortable. The location was excellent for travelling. We loved our holiday here at Nichola and Richards Villa. Communication was easy and nothing was too much trouble... Thank you. Hope to revisit soon.
Response: Hi Linda, that is a lovely description that "the villa sparkled and shone in such an inviting way"! Thank you and for your other kind comments. Do revisit again soon. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Can't recommend highly enough!

5 out of 5 |
We stayed in this villa last year and have just booked again for this year. It's an amazing place to stay and so comfortable for both large or smaller groups. The pool area is wonderful and has loads of seating to relax with family and friends. The whole villa is very well designed, great kitchen, lounge areas and loads of bedroom space. The setting is very convenient to visit lots of places in the region and is in a very well maintained and attractive area. Fabulous Villa, can't recommend highly enough!
Response: Hi Sue, we were so happy when you rebooked again for this year, thank you and it will be great to have you back as a guest. Thank you too for recommending the villa in your review.

BEAUTIFUL VILLA....EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS!
|
5 out of 5 |
Our recent stay at Watersong Villa exceeded expectations from the moment we arrived. A beautiful well-maintained villa, clean and immaculate with high-quality furniture throughout. Plenty of room for everyone! The lounge areas are so spacious with comfy sofas and a large dining area. The open plan kitchen area is well equipped with everything you would need to cook for a large group. Lovely ensuite bedrooms with quality bed linen and super comfy beds! A great private outdoor relaxing pool area. Not overlooked. Again, clean and immaculate, with comfy outdoor furniture; plenty of seating and an outdoor dining area. The pool and the spa jacuzzi were heated to a lovely temperature. There is a pool and children's play area on the complex, but we didn’t really feel the need to venture away from our villa’s private pool - a much nicer temperature to relax in than the pool on the complex! Convenient location, close to public amenities, shops and central to the theme parks and the coast too. We had a wonderful time sightseeing as well as visiting the theme parks; which included a day at the beach, lovely nature reserves and walks, and an airboat tour. Can highly recommend staying at Nichola and Richard's villa; so much so I will be booking again to stay in the future! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay!
Response: Hi Lisa, many thanks for such a great review. Comfort comes across as very important to you in your review and it is something we try so hard with so we are delighted that the sofas both inside and outdoors as well as the beds were comfortable for you and your group. Really good to hear that you will be rebooking again another year, we look forward to having you back. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Our grandkids swam even in 50 degree weather and liked the pool and the house better than Disney.

Richard keeps the pool at 88oF and the hot tub at 100oF ish. Our grandkids swam even in 50oF degree weather and liked the pool and the house better than Disney. Thank you Richard.
Response: That did make us smile Joan about our pool and Disney thank you! We always feel really sorry when the weather isn’t as nice as hoped for our guests but it is really great to hear that you were all able to still enjoy being out in the pool. Come back again soon and maybe next time it will be warmer for you with any luck. Thanks for staying and for the 5* review, Nichola and Richard

A Stunning Villa
|
5 out of 5 |
We would just like to take the time to show our appreciation for this stunning rental villa ‘Florida Delight’. Can we just start with saying how clean and perfect this villa is presented, It has absolutely everything we needed for our stay and lived up to our expectations and more. The villa itself is first class, very spacious and beautifully furnished throughout.In addition to the large sized open plan living area and kitchen, there was also a quiet relaxing room at the front of the house to escape the chaos if needed. The villa had an amazing personal pool that we were in at every given opportunity, which incorporated a spa. All nestled on a large sized terrace area with furniture for you to soak up the sun and eat alfresco. A well-equipped games room with a pool table and air hockey completed the set up on the ground floor The first floor area was just as spacious with large sized bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom and more importantly lots of storage and closet space. The beds were comfy and bed linens and towels were all of a good quality . The first floor also contains a useful well equipped laundry area. In general Florida Delight was about a 30 minute drive to the Disney parks, and there are a great selection of restaurants and supermarkets just a few minutes drive in either direction. You don’t need to look any further for a wonderful villa situated close to everything Orlando has to offer. I would have no hesitation with recommending Florida Delight and we will definitely book again for our next Florida adventure.
Response: Dear Justin B, Thank you so much for giving Florida Delight such a glowing review. We are so pleased with your words. Fantastic to read that the villa was so perfect for you and your family and we really hope that should you return to Orlando again in the future you would choose to stay in our villa again. Nichola and Richard

The villa is perfect for us each time we stay here
|
5 out of 5 |
The villa is perfect for us each time we stay here, and have been lucky to have stayed at Florida Delight a few times now. The size and layout of the villa always means that we can really enjoy being together as a group but still never feel that we are too much on top of each other and that we can all enjoy our own space as and when we want to. It is spacious, well laid out and always very clean. The pool area is particularly great as the deck is larger than most, which allows for a good range of outside seating and dining. This is really important to us as we want to make the most of being outside when we are there, whether that is during the daytime swimming and sunbathing, or the evening sat around chatting and eating as a family. We find it easy to get to the various attractions in Orlando from here and the new Publix which is less than 10 minutes away is a great addition. We always love our holidays at Florida Delight and are already looking forward to when we return again soon.
Response: Dear Christopher M. Many thanks for renting our villa again. It is always great for us knowing that guests want to return again and again to Florida Delight. Thank you too for the 5* review. We are really pleased that the size of the villa is ideal for you and your family and friends. As you say, the extended pool deck makes all the difference to being able to enjoy the outside area. We look forward to you staying again sometime. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Our stay was about perfect.

5 out of 5 |
The important things for us are always cleanliness, privacy, security, space and comfort and we got all these from our stay at Watersong Villa. We had a minor issue that was resolved incredibly quickly by the excellent management company and we also had a call from the owners to make sure we were OK once we were settled in. The villa is huge and it's hard to get a sense of this from pictures. As an example of how good the service is, we found the pool too warm for our preference on our first day. Richard was able to adjust this remotely and the next day, when we got back from Disney, it was more how we like it. Also the little things left for us to get started was a real plus and super helpful. Highly recommended.
Response: Dear Alexander C, Many thanks for the 5* review and for renting Florida Delight. It was nice talking to you and we were very pleased to hear that you were happier with the pool temperature after we lowered it more to your preference. We rely on our local management company to keep the villa in excellent order so it is always very heartening to read that they are doing such an excellent job. We hope you return to Orlando again soon and rent our villa on a future trip. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Outdoor space is amazing !

4 out of 5 |
We booked this villa because of the outdoor pool area and it didn’t disappoint we were a party of five adults and 3 kids and we all loved it equally, the villa itself is large enough to sleep more than our party as we had a couple rooms free, the kitchen had lots outdoor and indoor plates etc, the owners were fantastic at communicating with us throughout too.
Response: Dear Sharon S. Many thanks for renting our villa Florida Delight and for the glowing review. Really good to hear that you were all very happy with everything. We hope that you choose to stay again sometime. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Truly the best!

5 out of 5 |
This is our second visit to this particular villa/home, Florida Delight, in Watersong. We have also stayed in two other homes in Watersong, but we prefer Richard’s home because it is truly the best! The home was very clean and well-maintained. The pool area is larger than other homes in the neighborhood, & the pool furniture is not only beautiful, but also extremely comfy. The layout of this home is perfect. The pool was immaculate, as was the sauna, Richard, the owner, is a pleasure to work with, and is very responsive. Lynn at the management company is also one of the nicest people and also very responsive if needed. My husband and I and two adult daughters, one son-in-law and three grandchildren stayed for a week. It was hard to tell which the children loved best, the game room in the garage or the pool. The kitchen is very well stocked and the butler’s pantry has plenty of books and games. However, we stayed so busy. I think my husband was the only one who actually found and read a book. LOL. Richard’s driveway is also one of the largest, and we had no problem accommodating our three large vehicles, a 3500HD GMC dually truck, a van, and an SUV. This trip we found a great place to eat breakfast/brunch close by called First Watch which was awesome! The Villa is also convenient to a local Walmart and Publix close by. We had a great stay and I would highly recommend this home, as our experience with this villa has always been perfect.
Response: Dear Elizabeth H, I don’t know what to say to such a wonderful review apart from WOW and a massive thank you. Everything is so positive and happy about your stay at our villa and that fills us with delight. It is particularly pleasing to hear that you have already stayed at two other villas in Watersong for previous vacations and feel that ours is “truly the best”. With so many villas for holiday makers to choose from in Orlando to rent it is so important to us as owners and to our guests that ours is a really great choice and has so much to offer. We look forward to you and your family staying again sometime in the future and you will always be most welcome. With many thanks and best wishes, Nichola and Richard

We hope to be able to come back to your villa again!!

Thanks so much for everything you did to make our vacation so enjoyable. The personal phone calls, the recommendations for places to visit (we did visit St. Pete’s and Anna Maria Island as well as the Circle B Reserve that Nicola had recommended which was so nice) and the late check out was all greatly appreciated. We’ve been to Orlando numerous times with our family but I must say your villa has been the best (the house and the pool and spa were amazing)!! And the new management company that had just taken over were awesome as well!! We hope to be able to come back to your villa again!! Take care, Kendall and Jennifer
Response: Hi Kendall and Jennifer, this is great to read thank you. We have passed your comments on to our new management company and they were very pleased to receive such nice feedback as were we reading what you felt about our management company as it is so reassuring to know they are doing such a great job for our guests and the villa. Happy to hear our recommendation of Circle B Reserve was of use and that you enjoyed your visit there. We love sharing tips and suggestions with anyone who might want them when they are staying. Thank you again and take care yourselves, Nichola and Richard

Believe the reviews, I do not think we could find any place better near the price.

5 out of 5 |
Our family of 11, 3 generations, stayed at this home for a week in December, and enjoyed it very much. Believe the reviews, I do not think we could find any place better near the price. The pool area was large and comfortable, with nice views and privacy. We paid for pool heat witch is needed this time of year. The hot tub got hot and the pool was a very nice temperature all week. We used the games room and the Watersong playground and pool, the pool had a walk in area that was great for small children. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate with all 11 people at the dinning table. The only glitch was the door lock not working with the code I was given when I arrived, but a call for help was handled quickly and I was able to get in. The owners were both very nice and made us feel welcome and important to them. I hope to return some day! Thanks Peter
Response: Dear Peter, Many thanks for your kind review. We are so glad that you had a lovely stay at Florida Delight and it met your needs. Good to hear that you also enjoyed the pool at the Clubhouse. Thank you for booking with us and we hope you return again soon. All the best for the New Year, From Nichola and Richard

We booked our stay in Florida Delight Direct with Richard and Nicola and have no regrets in doing this at all. From first enquiring about Florida Delight to after we got home, Richard and Nicola was always at the end of an email or phone and always answered all my questions within a few hours. The correspondence you receive about your Arrival and Departure for Florida Delight is amazing and very detailed with everything you need to know and even the use of a Sat Nav is offered which is an absolute God send. On Arrival at Watersong we was met by a Lovely Lady on Security who explained everything we needed to know about the Resort, While driving through the gate we met our first Wildlife Friend an Armadillo there is lots of Wildlife on Watersong. Pulling up to the Villa we was so excited after a long flight to get inside and WOW it did not disappoint at all, it exceeded our expectations the photos are lovely but in real life it is amazing everything is like new and spotless we felt very privileged to be staying here. We got a Phone Call from Nicola on our first morning to make sure everything was OK and we had no issues which we didn't. As we were a Family of 7 Adults so it was really nice to be able cook and chat in the Kitchen and all sit at one table to enjoy our Meals together. The pool and Spa are very private with no neighbours looking in and plenty of seating for everyone to sit and relax. The bedrooms are a Fantastic size with plenty of space to store your suitcase out of the way in the closets and very very comfy beds which is needed after a long day at the parks. The Washer and Dryer are upstairs so you don't have to carry all your laundry up and down stairs i found this fantastic. The Games room was a great place to start our day while waiting for everyone to get ready with a game of pool or air hockey. Florida delight definitely lives up to its name i highly recommend you contact Richard and Nicola you will not be disappointed. We will be booking again as we found it to be ideally place for visiting the many many attractions in Orlando.
Response: Dear Julie, thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive and positive review. It is excellent to read how happy you were with everything and we are so glad that the communication we had with you along the way was helpful and well received. Please come back again one day. With best wishes from Nichola and Richard

Family of 10 Thanksgiving Florida trip
|
5 out of 5 |
We stayed at the villa Florida Delight for 10 days over Thanksgiving. What a great stay for Grandpa & Grandma and their two families. Four kids aged 7,8,9,10. This villa provided our family with plenty of space! We used the spa and pool every day. The pool was kept at a great temp and the spa heated within 10 minutes. We really enjoyed the night lights. The family area off the kitchen was also a great hangout area to watch the games and the provided Netflix movies. The pictures don't do justice to how big the family area is! We made Thanksgiving dinner at the villa as well as other meals throughout the stay. We found the kitchen to be well supplied with dishes and cookware. We were very happy for the inside/outside dishes since we had little ones and didn't have to worry about breaking dishes. The villa even supplied "nice" plastic wine glasses to use while relaxing in the spa. The kids loved the two bedrooms with bunks and twin beds and the shared bathroom. Moms & Dads had their own bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Grandpa and Grandma really enjoyed their Master bedroom with large closet and ensuite bathroom. The villa provided plenty of towels and hangers. The washer and dryer were very useful to keep up on the towels. We did a Walmart pickup on our way from the airport for all of the necessary paper products, soaps, groceries and cocktails. We would suggest the Walmart pickup to others for the convenience and savings. There is a Publix very near the villa for extra items, but we found it to be spendy. We went to Old Town, Seaworld, Legoland and Disney Springs. No Disney for us this year (they seem to have lost their magic) Our kids absolutely loved Legoland - no lines! We also did a fishing charter out of Clearwater Beach and caught a large amount of fish. Since we had such a nice house, we were able to cook the fish right at the house - so enjoyable! Richard and Nick were very responsive before and during our stay. They actually called us the day after we arrived to make sure everything was in order. We would strongly suggest the villa Florida Delight to other families. It was a large part of our wonderful Thanksgiving Florida trip.
Response: Dear Angie, What a wonderful review, thank you! So comprehensive and providing some great tips for future guests. We are so pleased to hear how much you all enjoyed your stay at the villa and it is lovely to hear of you and all your family celebrating Thanksgiving there. It is an extremely heartwarming image to think of you all happily sitting around the dining table and eating such a special, celebratory meal together there. It sounds like you have had a fantastic holiday and been out and about a lot to the different attractions. Thank you for booking with us and we do hope you choose to stay at Florida Delight again sometime in the future. Have a very happy Christmas and all the best for 2023, from Nichola and Richard

We've stayed in florida delight before so knew exactly what we were getting and once again it didn't disappoint. There was 9 of us ranging in age from 3 to 65 but there was plenty of space for us all without getting on top of each other. We had a few small issues but they were dealt with straight away either by Richard or the management company. Watersong is a lovely resort and is near to a new publix and only 10 minutes from Posner Park our favourite shopping venue after the outlets. We wouldn't hesitate to book this villa again and look forward to staying again in the future
Response: Hi Wendy, thank you once again for staying at Florida Delight and for the review. We really appreciate both and are so happy that you wanted to stay again and enjoyed your holiday. Wishing you all the very best, Nichola and Richard

We have stayed in many villas in this area and this is by far the best. Absolutely massive for our party of 9 adults. After spending the day at the parks the outside area was much appreciated and very well used, on our chill days the pool and jacuzzi were great! The seating area easily sat all 9 of us and we regularly had 6 adults in the jacuzzi. The upstairs space was huge and the bedrooms were decorated to a really high standard. The 2 lounges were also very spacious although we only needed the one. Richard stayed in contact with us throughout our stay and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend this home to any size party and it would easily take 12 people. Until next time The Lippitt's Seed Porter and Catterall families
Response: Hi Alan, this is great thank you. It is always so reassuring when guests have stayed in other villas in the area before and and give ours the biggest thumbs up, thank you! We look forward to you staying again one day. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

This property is everything as described. Our family enjoyed the comforts of this home the entertaining areas of this home, both inside and out. The owners of this property were wonderful, and reached out to make sure our stay was enjoyable. I would highly recommend this property if your looking for a well maintained home with complete comfort.
Response: Dear Shannon, Many thanks for such a nice review. We were so concerned about you and your family as you were in Florida and the villa at the very worrying time that Hurricane Ian hit the area but fortunately you were all safe and had no problems. We really appreciated your communication with us during that time too. Thankfully you were able to enjoy your holiday and the villa despite the weather when it was bad. With thanks and best wishes from Nichola and Richard.

Our family of 8 have not long returned from an 8-night stay at the Villa, all I can say is WOW and that we didn’t want to come home! The Villa is huge, much bigger than it seems on the photos. Firstly, communication with Richard throughout from the initial booking to our arrival in villa was fantastic, he was always able to answer my queries and even gave us a call the morning after we arrived to see that we were all ok and settled and to answer any question we may have had. The Villa had everything we needed and more. There were comfy areas to relax and watch TV, the kitchen and dining area provided lots of space to prepare family meals. All the appliances worked brilliantly and there were plenty utensils, crockery, and dinnerware for a large family. The bedrooms were beautiful, each with their own bathroom and closet, the beds are huge and comfortable, I had great night's sleep every night! There are TVs in each room with Netflix so all our children were catered for TV wise. Everything is labelled and there are lots of clear instructions on how to use things. The pool/outdoor area was just brilliant. The kids loved it. The Spa was perfect after days walking around the parks very relaxing. There are lots of lovely chairs, sofas and loungers to chill out on, we also ordered a BBQ which was there for us when we arrived. We liked how the pool area wasn't overlooked by another property. It feels very private. There's also lots of wildlife around, we even saw racoons! The games room was a hit with the kids who could play air hockey and pool whilst we prepared dinner, also a great area to dry swimwear and trainers etc. The villa is stocked up with lots of towels for everyone and a great laundry set up on the landing which was so useful for us. The complex felt very safe and secure, security on entering and leaving the complex was very professional. There is a Publix supermarket which is a 5 min drive away and also an Aldi another 5 mins along. On returning from the parks one day, we bumped into one of the neighbours who was lovely! She told us there was a Target and Dollar Tree etc 10 mins away too as we'd told her we needed emergency ponchos for the parks! They're so expensive to buy in the parks so this was a great tip. When the rain comes down in Florida, it REALLY comes down. The Disney parks are about 30/40 minutes away and we had no major traffic issues getting to them at all. We would 100% stay here again! Thanks!
Response: Dear Martina, What a fabulous review! Thank you for covering so much in your review and all in such glowing terms. So helpful for future guests too. We are really happy for you that you enjoyed your stay at Florida Delight so much and hope that you return again one day. With best wishes from Nichola and Richard

This house had everything. Plenty of room, great kitchen and pool area. We got confused on the door lock but easily got in touch with property management to get that settled. We had ourselves, our adult children, and parents and everyone had a good time.
Response: Dear Patricia, Many thanks for giving Florida Delight a 5 * review. We are really pleased that the villa had everything that you needed to make your stay a success for all your family. We hope you stay again sometime. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

This is the nicest rental where we have ever stayed.

5 out of 5 |
This is the nicest rental where we have ever stayed. It was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. We actually spent most of our time at the property due to one of us undergoing chemotherapy treatments that were unknown at the time we booked. It allowed for a wonderful respite from cancer, and the five kids were never bored because of the pool, game room and many televisions. Richard and his family have thought of everything, and it is all clearly labeled too. We felt very much at home. We hope to return next summer.
Response: Dear Christy, We were very sorry to read that you are going through chemotherapy and wish you all the very best for a full recovery. How lovely that you were able to have some much needed relaxation at our villa during what must be a very trying time for you and your family. We are so glad that you could enjoy relaxing and getting the respite you need whilst your children were still able to enjoy being busy and having fun with the pool and games room. We will be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to Florida Delight again next year. With many thanks for such a good review and for renting with us, Nichola and Richard

Great place for large families
|
5 out of 5 |
This property was exactly as advertised. Perfect for our family of 10 (7 adults, 3 kids). Large seating areas, dining options, pool was great. Other than the traffic getting to Disney and Universal, very good location, close to stores, shopping, etc. Had a small problem by getting the propane a day later than the grill (which needs to be updated/upgraded) but management company and owner's response was immediate and helpful. One suggestion-have the bedroom tv's be able to "hook up" to local channels, kind of inconvenient for anyone who wanted to watch "network" tv.......Note from the owners " since this review we have installed aerials in each room including the bedrooms so every tv in the villa now has the local channels as well as the channels such as Netflix".
Response: Dear Mary-Jo, We are really glad that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for giving our villa a 5 star review. Sadly the grills which are hired in from an outside company by our management company are beyond our control, as of course is the traffic. We try as much as possible to use roads avoiding the I4 which is always very busy and Old Lake Wilson Road tends to be a good alternative to get to Disney. However, we were able to take your feedback on board about the local tv networks and when we were over in late February/March we installed aerials in each room, including all the bedrooms so that all of the televisions now have the local channels. Thank you for staying at Florida Delight and we do hope you chose to stay again sometime in the future. All the best, Nichola and Richard

A beautiful home, fabulous decor. Very spacious for our party of 8. Everything you need is there. So homely. Lovely bedrooms, plenty of towels. Love the pool and space around it. Lots of comfortable seating. Great location in a gated community. Mr & Mrs Marsh were very attentive & helpful. A fabulous holiday and we would definitely recommend Florida delight
Response: Dear Barbara, We were so pleased for you that after all the stress of having to cancel the year before because of covid you finally were able to have your holiday and that our villa lived up to expectations and hopefully helped make up for the wait. Thank you for the recommendation and for the 5 star review. We do hope you come again another time. With best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Beautiful home and quiet private location
|
5 out of 5 |
We were here Jan 2022. Upon walking in to the property, the smell of a recently cleaned home filled the air! The furnishings are all very comfortable and the decor is beautiful! The mattresses are all very comfortable! I would suggest heating the pool and hot tub! Perfect after a day at the parks! The only issue we had was there were not enough towels and after speaking to the owner, brand new towels were brought the next day! Nicola and Richard are VERY responsive! The rugs in the home upstairs are a cream color and are showing wear and several stains here and there. This did not take away from our experience at all! The house is very very clean! Updated and warm and homey and very comfortable!! The pool area is a huge plus and plenty of room for everyone!! We will be back someday for sure!!!
Response: Dear Lori, Thank you for giving us such a good and comprehensive review. It is so good to know that you enjoyed your stay at the villa and that you hope to return some day. We always make every effort to speak to our guests ideally within a day of their arrival to make sure everything is how it should be for them at the villa. The feedback we get from them enables us to correct anything that isn’t right such as the low number of towels so thank you for that. We hope to have you stay again soon. With very best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Owner was great to work with-super responsive. Location was very nice- close to Publix and parks. Pool and spa was a very nice home base to relax after the parks….definitely worth paying to have the pool heated!

Beautiful, spacious rental with top of the line furnishings. Owner was so very kind and checked on us to make sure we settled in nicely. We visited Disney every other day and relaxed at the rental by the heated pool and played a variety of board games provided. My whole family was happy with the accommodations. We will highly recommend this rental and will also stay again ourselves. Thanks, April, Mario and Family
Response: Dear April and Family, Thank you very much for such a glowing review. We are so glad that you were happy with the villa and that you and all your family enjoyed your stay there. Really good to hear that you will be recommending the villa and that you hope to stay again some time again yourselves. All the best, Nichola and Richard

Small problem with the rear door lock and the alarm would not reset but other than that the property was fantastic.
Response: Dear Wilbur T, Many thanks for staying at our villa and for giving us a good review. Apologies for the issue with the lock and the alarm and we appreciate you having informed us of it at the start of your stay. We hope you return to our villa again some time.

I think we found our forever vacation home

5 out of 5 |
This home was better than we expected! The pictures don't do it any justice It was beautiful, huge, and in a great location! We go to Florida quite often and I think we found our forever vacation home. We can't wait to go back we had a little issue with the door not locking but the property manager had someone bring us a key for the home right away. Also the alarm system didn't want to work that well so we tried calling the number provided for us if we needed anything but given it was a Sunday no one answered but that was ok. My favorite place to be in the house was the jacuzzi it was so relaxing it was just what I needed. The beds were a little hard but that was ok. Everyone had more than enough room they also had their own space. We all enjoyed the home we definitely will be back to stay in that house again I highly recommend staying in this location
Response: Dear Yolanda H, WOW that is wonderful to read that that with our villa you think have found your forever vacation home! We certainly hope so, thank you. We can only apologise about the issue with the door not locking but pleased that the local management company were able to get it sorted out as quickly as they could. Thank you for renting the villa and we look forward to you staying again some time in the future. Many thanks, Nichola and Richard

Great for families

5 out of 5 |
Great for families We rented this beautiful home in the beginning of October so we could accommodate the family. We went to Disney as well as Universal and both areas were not that bad of a drive. Universal was the farthest away from the home. This house had everything you could need. The kitchen was stocked with cooking items, there was pool towels, towels for all bathrooms, and sheets and blankets. Also highchair and ports play pen if needed as well. There is a Publix right down the street that closes around 10 pm. It was very convenient to use as we got in late and needed to get food for the house as soon as we arrived. They will come and place the trash can to the curb when it's close to trash day. Overall these house is huge and will accommodate a big family easy . The only thing we didn't like was the TVs had 2 remotes and some of the TVs upstairs worked and others didn't. It would be nicer to have cable or a satellite where you turn the tv on and there it is. We had to maneuver through different screens to just watch the news. We will rent here again. Thank you again for letting us rent your home. ThePolendeyâ's
Response: Dear Melissa P., Many thanks for giving such a comprehensive review of our villa and its location in relation to other places in the area. We are really glad that you enjoyed your stay and that the villa accommodated your family so well in terms of its size and contents. Thank you for renting with us and we are delighted that you would like to rent with us again sometime. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Beautiful home. We took our family of 10 and stayed here for a week. This home is beautiful and spacious! There was enough space for everyone to be together and enough space to have to yourself if you needed some relaxing alone time. The pool was great to have on site. Host was very accommodating and responded quickly to any messages ( they even called to see how everything was going!) I would stay again and would highly recommend to others.
Response: Dear Eric, Really pleased that your stay at our villa was a good one and that you enjoyed the space that the house has to accommodate you all nicely. Thank you for giving us such a good review and great that you would stay again sometime. With best wishes, Nichola and Richard

I love this house!
|
5 out of 5 |
I love this house! Our family of five adults and three children had a wonderful time staying in this home. This house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our family. We loved the pool and the minimal additional cost for the hot tub was well worth it. The owner was very gracious and responsive. There were no negatives to report. Everything about this rental went perfectly and we were all extremely pleased with all aspects of our rental experience. The only complaint I have is that our week went by so fast! We had a great time and even though it rained several days, we had plenty to do in the house from the games in the garage, the multiple TVs, two large living areas gave us plenty of room to spread out and find a quiet place to read a book & I could go on & on. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. Everyone had their own bathroom.. There were two master bedrooms which worked out perfectly. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this beautiful home.
Response: Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for such a lovely review. It really made us smile. A complaint about your week going too fast is the type of complaint we love, although not so great for you! It is really nice that you took time out to just relax and enjoy being inside the villa when it was raining. Thank you for recommending Florida Delight and we are delighted you will be returning again some time. All the best from Nichola and Richard

Best place so far!!
|
5 out of 5 |
This property was so beautiful. we loved the minimalist but elegant designs and decor. the owner was attentive and very communicative. if there were any drawbacks, i would only give 2 reasons... 1. the internet could have been a lot better considering the amount of devices that were in the house. I would recommend gig speeds for this property. 2. permanent exterior lighting with a switch. we hung outside during the night by the outside couches and we kept having to wave our arms around just to get it to turn on for another 10 seconds. other than these 2 drawbacks, this place was amazing! thanks!
Response: Dear James, Thank you very much for the great review. Praise indeed that you think it was the best villa you have stayed in so far. That is really good to hear. Thank you for renting with us. We do hope you stay again sometime in the future. With best wishes from Nichola and Richard

Beautiful outdoor space with plenty of seating.

5 out of 5 |
We were 10 of us at one point. Two families. Within 40 minutes of attractions. Beautiful outdoor space with plenty of seating. That is what drew us to this home. Not so much the gated community. The home decor is beautiful and again plenty of seating for entire party. Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Laundry on top floor was convenient. Any issues were addressed timely. Would definitely recommend. I suggestions I have are made to the owners for future guests to enjoy the property even more. Great stay!!! Michelle B ... Rhode Island and family
Response: Dear Michelle, We are so pleased that our villa was to your liking and met the needs of your party. Thank you very much for an excellent and 5* review. We do hope if you return to Orlando sometime you and your family will choose to stay in Florida Delight again. With thanks and best wishes from Nichola and Richard

This house was stunning!

5 out of 5 |
This house was stunning! We had a minor problem with the pool upon arrival (at 11 pm) and it was being fixed at 7:00 am the next morning. The house had everything you could possibly need. There were 12 of us and plenty of room to stretch out and have our "own" space. We particularly loved the family room set up as we would gather nightly for a movie. Communication with the owners was amazing! I would definitely recommend this house!!
Response: Dear Donna H, Thank you so much for the 5* review. It is always really good when we have a party of 12 staying which is the maximum number of guests we can have that you still all felt that you could stretch out and have your own space which is so important for a relaxing holiday. We love being able to "touch base" with our guests when they are first at the villa to welcome them and make sure everything is OK as well as being responsive to any questions at any point during your whole booking should you have any. We do hope you return to Florida Delight again one day. All the best, Nichola and Richard

A great property. Our family had a great stay at the Florida Delight. Everything from check in to check out went very smooth. The entrance to the community was quick and easy. The villa was exactly as pictured, which was perfect for our family of 8. The villa is located in good proximity to all attractions, as well as Publix and DG (which is a plus)! We would definitely recommend this villa and would stay here again in the future.
Response: Dear Stephanie T, Fabulous, thank you! It sounds like everything was just how you would have hoped and we are so pleased that your stay at Florida Delight went so well. Thank you for recommending our villa and we look forward to you staying again. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Would stay again!!

5 out of 5 |
Would stay again!! The check in process was easy, the house was beautiful and just as described. The pool was green and green sludge on the sides and the bottom. The pool guys showed up before I could even call. They were working on the pool, never informed us if we could use the pool before they left, and left a hose running into the pool. We were able to use the hot tub that evening. We contacted the owners who responded and emailed management. We also called management who told us they were aware and the pool guys would be back on Sunday, they never showed up until Monday!! There is a pool cleaning chart near the pool and the pool had not been serviced in 12 days. When looking for a place a pool was our biggest thing we wanted with having children it was going to be the easiest walking out the back door to a pool. So this was a huge disappointment to all our visitors. It eventually did clear up, and we got some use out of it, we also used the community pool which was a little bit of a inconvenience but the community pool was very nice!! I don't blame the owners, I blame the pool guys for the pool turning green due to not servicing it in so many days. All private pools around us were crystal clear. Everything else about the stay was excellent. A few minor things I'm sure the owners took care of after we left because we didn't report them until the end of our stay. The hair dryers didn't work properly, and the ice machine didn't make much ice. These were minor and we just bought our own ice and shared the hair dryer that worked. A few of our family members said there was no cable tv only Netflix and Amazon prime. Overall we had an amazing vacation and would stay here again. Thank you for letting us rent your home.
Response: Dear Krista C, Oh where to begin about the pool! Very, very occasionally over the past 7 years since we have owned the villa we have had a slight issue when the pool has developed a problem of some type but it has soon been sorted. However, over the past few weeks on and off including when you were staying at the villa it has unfortunately been a bit of a nightmare. The pool company are usually excellent so we can only apologise for all the problems you had with both the pool and the people servicing it and are so sorry for the impact and disappointment it caused you. Our management company has since spoken to the pool company and insisted that the pool chart is always signed as there have been occasions when they have in fact turned up for the weekly pool maintenance but not signed the chart to indicate they have been. We also run the pool pump for a significantly longer period every day now (after liaising with the Pool Manager to find out what may help) and this has positively impacted the pool. The resort pool which is a very nice place to sit and enjoy the sunshine on the many sun loungers they have there is fortunately a very good “Plan B” in circumstances like this. Not ideal, we know, as everyone wants to be able to use their own private pool at their villas but it is still a very nice pool and hot tub to be able to enjoy and we are glad you were able to do so. We are so glad and grateful that despite this and the other points that you have shared you have still given us a 5* review and would stay with us again! We do ask the local management company to sort out any other issues that are reported to us. With all our very best wishes and thanks, Nichola and Richard

Disney family vacation. Really enjoyed staying @ this villa, nice quiet neighborhood and we had everything we needed in this facility. Very spacious it was a total of 9 adults 1 child and 1 baby and we all had more than enough room. We were also very close to everything so that was also an plus.

Had a great stay. House is beautiful, owners were extremely helpful and responsive. Pool was perfect. It's a little far from the Orlando attractions, but we knew that going in. Had an issue with the internet during our stay but the owners were extremely responsive and it was fixed quickly.
Response: Dear Mark, We are really glad you enjoyed your stay at our villa and many thanks for a good review. We are pleased that the internet issue that you had, which involved having to have a new line installed due to the degradation of the original one, was resolved quickly and to your satisfaction and we really appreciated all your help in this respect. Thank you for booking with us and we hope you stay again in the future. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Florida Delightful!!

5 out of 5 |
Stayed end of April, 2021 for about 10 days. Neighborhood and house were immaculate and spacious. Plenty of room for our group of 8 to spread out and relax. Pool and hot tub were relaxing and refreshing. Owners were very and attentive and accommodating to the few issues that we did have. House is a little further out from the Disney madness than some but was still convenient enough to meet our needs. Would highly recommend!
Response: Dear Stanley, Many thanks for renting our villa Florida Delight (or Florida Delightful as you called it which made us smile) and for giving us a 5* review. We are glad that you were happy with your stay and that both the villa and location were to your liking. We do hope you stay again sometime. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard.

Everything went smooth from booking through the final departure.
|
5 out of 5 |
We had a very nice stay in Davenport. The house was very nice. It was well kept and the owners were very responsive. Everything went smooth from booking through the final departure. My only minor critique was the cleanliness of the pool. Davenport had some storms before we arrived, and the pool had some dirt at the bottom. Owners were responsive, but even after the pool guy came, the dirt remained. I don't blame the owners, I think the pool guys probably were overwhelmed. I still rate the overall house experience 5 stars.
Response: Dear Brian, Many thanks for staying at our villa and for giving us a 5* review. It was really unfortunate that there were a couple of days of bad storms in the area prior to your arrival and after our pool guy had done his weekly visit. Disappointing for you and also for us as we want everything to be spot on for our guests so we do apologise. With best wishes, Nichola and Richard

All and all if my family or anyone I know is going to vacation in Orlando I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
|
5 out of 5 |
After a long 2020 we decided to rent a huge house for the whole family to meet at for a long over due vacation. We stumbled on this house by chance and we are so fortunate that we did! You never know what you are going to get in a property rental so there is always some hesitation. However, from the moment you check in with the polite guard at the gated entry til you pull up to the house for the first time we were blown away how beautifully maintained and manicured the grounds are. As soon as we entered the HUGE, smartly decorated interior those reservations were put to bed and our vacation was officially started. The house was immaculately clean and the layout was calm and inviting. We had our groceries delivered through instacart so we were able to let the kids jump right in the pool as soon as we got there while we unpacked. There is an abundance of closets, storage and space! The upstairs closet was filled with tons of pool and house towels and they were of great quality. It took a little bit of figuring to get the TV to work and get all of our devices connected to the wifi but the big white book that contains a TON of information about the house was extremely helpful. The first morning we were in the house the owner actually called from the UK to welcome us and make sure everything was acceptable to our liking, this put a very personal touch to the rental, knowing that we were renting from people, not a nameless faceless company. This became apparent as the coffee maker broke the 2nd morning and it was replaced by noon with a brand new one! We spent several days at the community pool as well. This was just a beautifully maintained as the rest of the property and the staff there offered utensils for our lunch and any assistance we might need during our stay. We had 12 people in our group and there wasn't a single moment that we felt crowded or on top of each other. It would have been nice to have a few things included like coffee filters, trash bags, dishwasher soap and a few rolls of paper towels but I would never expect this at a rental. All and all if my family or anyone I know is going to vacation in Orlando I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Thank you for a beautiful place to host a much needed getaway!
Response: Dear Martin, Wow! This review absolutely made our day when we read it. Thank you so much. First impressions are so important and reading your words about how impressed you were from the moment you first arrived at the gatehouse to check in right through the resort and ultimately the villa itself it sounds like everything was just how we would really want it to be to create the perfect place for you to stay and enjoy your big family vacation. I am sure when a big group are all staying in one home there may be concerns about whether you might feel a bit crowded as it is important to have a bit of your own space as well as family time together on a holiday but Florida Delight is so spacious that as you point out you didn’t feel you were on to of each other, which is excellent. Thank you for recommending us and we really hope that you too stay again some time. With very best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Owners are amazingly attentive. House is lovely and the pool area has plenty of comfortable seating. We enjoyed our 2 week stay.
Response: Dear Patricia, Many thanks for your review. Really great to know that you enjoyed your stay at the villa. We recently added to the outdoor seating around the pool and upgraded the cushions so that they are really thick and even more comfortable to lay and sit on, so it was really good to read your comment about the outside seating. We do hope you return to Florida Delight again some time. Thanks for staying at our villa. Nichola and Richard

The subdivision is gated and beautiful so we walked a couple times a day
|
5 out of 5 |
Perfect for Covid get away Overall loved this place! Spent time here to get away from the Midwest winter freeze. The subdivision is gated and beautiful so we walked a couple times a day. Our favorite part is that the pool gets sun all day. The house it self was decorated beautifully, very inviting. The alarm was a little intimidating but only because we had never used one before. Also if you have problems with the pool let them know right away as the pool company only comes once a week. Richard was great to work with the entire process! There is a new Publix 2 miles away that we frequented and hungry howie's has good pizza. Highly recommend this house/location.
Response: Dear Teresa H., Many thanks for your review. It is great to know that you were able to enjoy a break from the winter cold and have some Florida sun while staying at our villa. We definitely agree with your words about the pool. Our guests have a local management company at hand should they need anything sorted out but we would always say we are only an email or text away should you need us to sort anything for you as we want everyone to have as good a stay as possible at the villa. We do hope you come and stay again sometime in the future and thank you for your stay and for giving us such a positive review. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

The perfect, out of the way, place to stay with a family but is within distance of everything you could possibly want.

The subdivision this home is located in is the perfect, out of the way, place to stay with a family but is within distance of everything you could possibly want. Richard was incredibly helpful and made sure our stay was great. Even with a little bit of issues with the heating to the spa given the cold temps they had had, he made sure everything was up and working as quickly as possible so our family could enjoy. The home is wonderful, clean, and just perfect for the 7 of us that stayed there. Our 2 yr old loved the pool and it was a wonderful outdoor area to relax and eat. Would absolutely recommend staying here.
Response: Dear Kirsty C. This is an excellent review, thank you. We were so pleased that the location of Watersong was so much to your liking. It does have a really lovely sense of being a bit of an oasis of calm but still within such easy reach of all the attractions. Really glad you were able to enjoy the spa and that it was a good temperature for you and that the villa ticked all your boxes for your stay. We do hope you return again in the future and thank you for booking with us. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

The home is beautifully decorated bright and cheerful just how I wanted to feel in Florida. We all thoroughly enjoyed the pool and lanai. The water remained clear and refreshing during our marathon swims and throughout our stay. The neighborhood is very pleasant for a stroll and even enjoyed birding. Perfect spot for our quarantinecation.
Response: Dear Kim, Many thanks for giving us a 5 star review. We are really glad that our villa was the right place for you to stay and that you enjoyed not only the pool and the villa but also the wildlife and resort. I hope you had the chance to see some sandhill cranes flying over the villa while you were there as that is always a wonderful sight! With very best wishes from Nichola and Richard

What a wonderful time we had staying at Florida Delight! We were able to escape the cold and enjoy the Florida sunshine. The house was even better than the pictures and description and extremely clean upon arrival. The space was great for our family to enjoy time together, yet all spread out when we needed it. The pool area can't be beat! We look forward to returning.
Response: Dear Jenna, We can’t tell you how wonderful it is to have families finally starting to be able to return to the villa to enjoy the Florida sun and a holiday again after all the restrictions. We are so glad that the house exceeded your expectations and it is lovely to read that you hope to return again some day. Thank you for booking our villa. All the best, Nichola and Richard.

The location with regard to visiting the Disney Parks was excellent.

5 out of 5 |
Dear Richard, recently we have been able to use your very luxirious villa with 11 people. Our expectations regarding this accommodation were high and these were fully met. Nothing, but nothing, was missing from this beautiful home. The location with regard to visiting the Disney Parks was excellent. Highly recommended for people with large families or families who intend to visit the fun parks in the Orlando region. The prior communication with you was also perfect. Thank you for this. Greetins from the Netherlands, Joseph Stultiens and family.
Response: Dear Joseph and family, Thank you so much for your lovely 5 star review. We are always very pleased to know that our villa lives up to our Guests’ expectations as it would be so disappointing for them otherwise. We are glad that the location of our villa worked well for you when visiting the attractions of Orlando too. Thank you for staying at Florida Delight and you were a pleasure to communicate with and we hope you visit again one day. Nichola and Richard."

We were here for two weeks from 21st September and had a fantastic time. The villa has loads of space, is beautifully decorated and has a great pool area. This is the best villa we have stayed in and we would definitely recommend it. Can't wait to go back.
Response: Dear Karen, thank you for this kind review and for comparing us so favourably with other villas you have stayed in. We look forward to you returning again one day. Nichola and Richard

Just wow!!

5 out of 5 |
Just wow!! We stayed at Florida delight for 2 weeks this August and can not recommend staying here enough. The villa is beautiful, spacious and you can tell every effort has been made to make it feel a real home from home. Richard and Nichola went over and above to make sure the villa was everything we needed for a truly fantastic holiday. We have been to Florida several times before and this is by far the most luxurious villa we have stayed in. Thank you
Response: Hi Emma, a wow to you too! Thanks for your glowing review. We are really happy for you that you enjoyed your stay so much. Do come again one day. Nichola and Richard

Beautiful spacious villa, that accommodated our group of 10, ages from 5 to 70! Comfortable bedroom and ensuite facilities, fully equipped kitchen, with relaxing living room. Great tv's with lots of options to help wind down if not sitting out around the pool. The pool is a good size and we all enjoyed being in or the spa. We had a lovely break here and would highly recommend it!! Very impressed with the villa and the ease of booking it plus the support and contact from Nicola and Richard. Thank you x
Response: Dear Julie, Thank you very much for giving us such a great review. It sounds like the villa ticked all the boxes for you all which is always good to know, especially when there is such a range of ages amongst you and the need to please everyone. Thanks for recommending the villa and we would love to welcome you back again some day if you ever choose to have another holiday in Orlando. Many best wishes, Nichola and Richard.

This is the nicest villa we have stayed at
|
5 out of 5 |
This is the nicest villa we have stayed at, my only criticism would be not enough sun beds for the size of our party.
Response: Dear Stephen, Many thanks for the review and giving us a 5 star rating. Brilliant to read that our villa is the nicest that you have stayed at. In terms of the number of sun beds we understand what you are saying. However, space is limited, even though we have an extended deck area which is larger than most. We made the decision right from the start to have a range of different outside seating rather than just sunbeds which don’t always suit everyone. As well as some sun beds we have one area with the cushioned L-shaped rattan sofa with the coffee table. We do try to take any Guest feedback on board where possible though and will look at the feasibility of a couple more sunbeds and available space in the future. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

What can I say...It was a perfect family vacation.

5 out of 5 |
What can I say...It was a perfect family vacation. Although we were on vacation, it felt like home. The home is very well appointed, clean and organized. Richard and Nichola are tremendous host and are very attentive. They made us feel like family. Our week flew by. Plus our St Louis Blues won their first Stanley Cup while we were there. So this home will hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you Richard and Nichola!!!
Response: Dear Rich, Thank you! We love this review as it really makes us smile thinking of you all gathered round the TV cheering on your team and for them to win too would have given you even more of a reason to celebrate while being in Florida. We are so glad that your stay at our villa was such a happy one and hope you return again one day. All the best, Nichola and Richard.

What more can I say the place place was amazing even better than we expected and everything needed for a perfect holiday.
|
5 out of 5 |
Just returned after 2 weeks in this amazing place. Thank you Richard and Nichola for letting us stay in your property the only problem was that with 3 grandchildren in tow we spent so much time in the parks that we didn't use it as much as we would have liked but when returning back it was lovely to be able to use the pool/jacuzzi to unwind. Thank you also for the pink bedroom it went down well with the twins and the steamer as I was able to cook what I needed. The weather was very hot while we were there and a couple of days it just tipped into 100 degrees. What more can I say the place place was amazing even better than we expected and everything needed for a perfect holiday. If ever we go back we will certainly be in touch. Lastly if you are looking for a decent place to buy fresh coffee, milk shakes etc then go to Wawa I know it's a gas station but their drinks are amazing. Sylvia
Response: Dear Sylvia, Thank you very much for giving us a 5-star review and for the great feedback. We are so glad that our villa was a hit for you all and even exceeded expectations! The theme parks are always going to be a big draw especially with young children but hopefully you managed to “recharge your batteries” by relaxing round the pool afterwards. The pool in the evenings is particularly lovely, swimming under the stars! Totally agree with your thoughts on WaWa and it is really good having one nearby now at Reunion. Do come back and stay again some day and thank you again for the review and for renting our villa. Nichola and Richard.

When looking for a villa for this year we looked at hundreds online, but our hearts kept bringing us back to Florida Delight.
|
5 out of 5 |
What an absolutely beautiful villa cannot recomend it enough. The villa is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. The only problem is you have to leave to go home. When looking for a villa for this year we looked at hundreds online, but our hearts kept bringing us back to Florida Delight. Nichola and Richard are so easy to deal with and are really good with any questions/concerns.
Response: What a lovely review, thank you. As you say, there are hundreds of villas to choose from and we are so happy to hear that Florida Delight captured your hearts during your search for a villa and by the sound of things it lived up to your expectations when you stayed there which is the most important thing. We do hope that it stays in your hearts enough to draw you back again sometime in the future as we would love to have you as guests again. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard
Amanda Drew
Overall I would recommend staying here and we would return.
|
4 out of 5 |
Great house, very spacious with plenty of seating, nice neighborhood. The kids enjoyed the pool. We didn't eat at the house much but there was ample dishes etc.. I wish there was a dimmable light on the lanai as it is very bright for sitting out at night. The house and lanai area could have been a lot cleaner. Not much attention to detail. Some of the sheets were definitely not clean so we had to wash them and remake those beds. We have stayed in many rental homes and have found it to be common that they aren't cleaned very well which is unfortunate. I wish they were inspected better by management to ensure better quality. Overall I would recommend staying here and we would return.
Response: Dear Amanda, Many thanks for your review. It is great to read that following your stay at our villa you would return and also recommend it to others. We are though, so sorry that for some reason on the occasion of your stay, the villa’s cleaning was not up to the standard that we and our guests expect. We can assure you we take feedback very seriously and we have already had a lengthy discussion with the local Property Manager to get to the bottom of what each issue was and they will be sorted. So disappointed for you though that you didn’t let us or the local property management team know at the time you were there so that we and they could have rectified things straightaway for you. Thank you once again for your review and your feedback is extremely helpful to us. With very best wishes, Nichola and Richard.

Very nice and well thought out home. Richard aims to please and hits his mark, heated pool a must, if you get a chance at this home jump all over it as we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you Richard.

It had everything you needed! A home away from home. Very relaxing, and quiet development. Would love to come back.
Response: Dear Katrina, Thank you very much for reviewing our villa. It is great that you felt that it was a home away from home because that is how we hope our guests feel when they stay there. We would love you to come back again too sometime in the future. All the best, Nichola and Richard

The home is just beautiful. There is so much room and everything is so well maintained and beautifully decorated. Everything was wonderful including the pool and patio, game room, kitchen and all the bedrooms. There were enough TV's and bathrooms to accommodate all 11 of us. We had a great time and the attractions in the area were easy to get to.
Response: Dear Lori, Thanks very much for the review. Great to read how well the villa suited you all and we hope that if you return to Florida sometime you will choose to stay at our villa again. With best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Would return in a shot.

5 out of 5 |
Our extended family of 10 spent a week here in February 2019. All utensils we needed including bathroom towels were available plus gloriously hot weather. It is a really beautiful house in a good location within Watersong and close to supermarkets and petrol stations. The owner, Richard, was very attentive to our questions and needs. In short, the house , the pool and Richard made our lovely holiday into a perfect one. Would return in a shot.
Response: Dear Graham K. We are really pleased that you were happy with our villa for your family holiday and that it met all your needs. Glad you had hot weather too as we were the next people who stayed after you and we had an unseasonable cold spell for a few days and it was surprisingly chilly for Florida! Glad too that the location of our villa was right for you and as you probably noticed a new Publix is being built just 5 minutes from Watersong so if you do return again in the future, which we hope you do, there will be a supermarket even closer. Thank you for staying in our villa and for your 5 star review. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard.

I searched for months to find the right home for our three families - and was so glad to find this location. The home is spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, and welcoming.

5 out of 5 |
We just got back from a wonderful 2-week stay over the holidays with three families in Richard and Nichola's Florida Delight home. I searched for months to find the right home for our three families - and was so glad to find this location. The home is spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, and welcoming. No complaints from any of the family members on the beds (my biggest concern with a mixture of ages and back-pains) other than the pillows were too thin, but really if that was the biggest complaint then we hit the jackpot. Being December we paid extra for the heated pool (good decision as the kids were in it almost every day) and both the pool and hot-tub were a big hit with everyone. One minor comment to be aware of, if you have elderly family members getting in and out of the hot-tub may be a little difficult for them without help. -- The Kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need, including an Instapot! The Smart TV's were also a big hit as they included Amazon, Netflix, and Cable - so we had no problem finding movies that fit everyone's needs. The kids loved the PS4, Pool table, and foosball table as well. The community is smaller than some of the bigger communities, but that was nice - less hectic, never an issue getting into the gates, and a nice community area with playground and more. It is about 5 - 10 minutes away from shopping, groceries, and a movie theater. Lots of food delivery options, including Chinese for New Years eve from China Park, which was quick and very yummy American Style Chinese food. Watersong is about 20 to 30 minutes from the Disney and Universal parks, on good traffic days - but that worked well for us to be out of the crazy park areas, in a more relaxing environment. Some family members chose several full park days, while others stayed home, so it worked for us. We really enjoyed our holiday here - and would recommend the home if you are looking for a quiet location for some quality family time.
Response: Dear Stacey H. Thank you so much for giving us such a good and also comprehensive review. Firstly, we are very pleased that your long search for the right villa in which to spend your Christmas ended in you choosing Florida Delight and we are even more pleased that your stay at the villa was a good one for you all. Thank you for choosing us. Secondly, thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I am really glad to read that the Instant Pot went down well. I love it and use it a lot but never know if any guests to the villa find it useful too. We always try and take on board suggestions for improvements from Guests and will be looking to purchase some of the ideas you had in the next few weeks. If you ever choose to visit Orlando again for a holiday we would be delighted to have you stay at our villa again. Many thanks again, Nichola and Richard

This home was a 5 Stars X 10. This home was spectacular!!! There was eight of us and we had a lot of space. The rooms are huge. The kitchen/great room was more than enough space for us. The bedrooms were a perfect size. The pool and jacuzzi tub, couldn't have been better. You will not be disappointed! We will definitely be back to this home again!!!
Response: Dear Sherrell, Thank you for your glowing feedback, we are blown away by how happy you have been with our villa. It certainly seems to have ticked all the boxes for you all. We look forward to you returning again in the future. With very best wishes, Nichola and Richard

WOW, what a place!! The pictures don't do it justice...it is HUGE!! The pool area is amazing, especially with young children....we couldn't get them out!! Very well equipped kitchen.Nice quiet resort. Had a wonderful holiday. Between a 20 and 30 min drive to the parks. Nice area called 'Champons Gate' approx 15min drive away with a huge Publix Supermarket and plenty of restaurants if you're too worn out to cook. Richard was incredibly helpful in the run up to the holiday and answered all queries quickly. The only problem we encountered was the washing machine was broken when we arrived but the management team in the US were really helpful and kept us informed what was happening. They even offered us the keys to another empty villa down the road so we could do washing (without us even asking). It was slightly inconvenient but these things happen and the situation could not have been handled better! When we return to Orlando in a few years Florida Delight will be our first choice of place to stay!! Highly recommended!!
Response: Dear Lisa, That is a great review, thank you so much. It sounds like our villa and the surrounding area ticked all the boxes for you and your family which is always wonderful to hear. Apologies for the washing machine being broken. Amazingly, it took 6 weeks for the part that Management had ordered to fix the machine, to arrive from China and then it was discovered that it still wouldn’t work and so a new machine had to be purchased! Frustrating for us and guests that we didn’t know that from the beginning but these things happen I am afraid and I am really pleased that our Management Company in Florida were able to help you to make it less inconvenient. Thank you for recommending us and we look forward to you returning another time. Very best wishes, Nichola and Richard.

More than enough space to cater for 12 people. Would highly recommend this property
|
5 out of 5 |
Situated in Davenport Orlando makes it so easy and quick for all the Disney parks. This is the second time we have chosen this residential area. First villa was a 5 bedroom then the latter one was a 6 bedroom mansion. Even the pool with its built in jacuzzi is heated by solar panels. Plenty of sun loungers and seating. The bedrooms were tastefully fitted out. TV's in every room. PS4 with games. Cable tv. More than enough space to cater for 12 people. Would highly recommend this property
Response: Dear Jean, many thanks for highly recommending our villa and for your review. It was great that you returned to Watersong Resort for a second time and we are very happy that you chose our “mansion” (as you describe it), to rent on this visit. We do hope you return to Watersong for a third time and stay with us again. All the best, Nichola and Richard

We have rented homes several times in Florida and Arizona and I can I honestly say this is the nicest house we have ever rented.
|
5 out of 5 |
Dear vacationers, We have rented homes several times in Florida and Arizona and I can I honestly say this is the nicest house we have ever rented. All of the rooms are huge and the kitchen/dining/family room area is second to none! It was so great to have a space that was big enough and comfortable enough for all of us to gather in at one time. The layout was perfect! We never felt crowded or like we were stepping on each other. The pool/spa area was amazing! There were so many areas to lounge and relax that I didn't know where to begin. The privacy screening and lush landscaping was an added bonus that made us feel very secluded. The pool was big enough that some could be playing a game while others just floated. The spa was wonderful too! We also took advantage of the game room and had a family tournament one of the evenings. It was spacious and had enough activities that every team was able to be playing something the whole time. I would highly recommend using it! Speaking of playing...the PS4 in the loft provided hours of entertainment as well. For a quieter option, the family room was a great place to hangout together and watch a movie. With so many TVs, games and other activities in the house there was no way anyone could be bored. Richard was fabulous to work with and we really appreciated the personal attention he provided. We had an amazing week and I am so glad we stayed in this house. We all agreed it was the most relaxing vacation we have ever had which was really needed. It may be a little longer drive to the parks than some houses but you will not regret staying here. At the end of the day or on any free days you will be happy you chose the best house with the best host. Sincerely, Donna R.
Response: Dear Donna R, It is so great to read about how well you were able to enjoy and make use of the different aspects of our villa and we are so happy that you and all your family had a lovely holiday. Fantastic to read that it was “the most relaxing vacation that you have ever had”. That’s what it’s all about. We would love you to stay with us again next time you visit Florida. Many thanks for renting from us and for such a great review. Nichola and Richard

The other 3 days were spent totally in the backyard pool area and it is truly a vacation in itself.
|
5 out of 5 |
Just got back from a 5 night stay at Richard's place. The house is absolutely fantastic. It is exactly how it looks in the pictures - if not better. The home has all amenities that you would need and also provides a starter kit of paper towels, garbage bags and dishwasher pods. There is a Publix grocery store within 15 minutes from the house for anything you need. We visited Disney parks on 2 of the days and the pool area was a great place to come home to and wind down. The other 3 days were spent totally in the backyard pool area and it is truly a vacation in itself. Richard was easy to work with and was always quick to answer any of my questions. We would definitely stay here again whenever we decide to visit the Orlando area in the future.
Response: Dear PaulP, That is fantastic to read how much you have been able to enjoy just relaxing around the pool of the villa. Lovely being able to enjoy three days of making the most of the pool, sun and your own space. We are so pleased that the villa gave you what you wanted for your vacation and thank you for your excellent review. It would be a pleasure to have you stay here again in the future. With many thanks and best wishes, Nichola and Richard.

I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending this villa. We were a party of eight with three generations of my family and it worked fantastically for all of us. It is very tastefully decorated and the owners were a pleasure to liaise with, including a personal phone call on the first day of the holiday. If you want to have a fantastic base when you are not at the parks this villa is the one to rent.
Response: Dear Dawn, Thank you very much for your review and recommending our villa to future guests. We are really pleased that our villa worked so well for you as a group and it was lovely to speak with you too. We would love you to stay at our villa again if you ever choose to return to Florida again. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

It was an amazing home with absolutely no issues or concerns
|
5 out of 5 |
We have just concluded our family vacation at Florida's Delight. It was an amazing home with absolutely no issues or concerns. Richard was incredible with his communication and concern that our vacation was everything we hoped for. From the time we walked in to the huge living room until our first view of the incredible oversized pool and hot tub area we knew we had made the right choice. The kitchen served all our needs and the dinner my family of 10 was able to have at the 'royal' table was amazing. Thank you Richard for an amazing stay. The family also enjoyed their visit with you. Your over and above service was very thoughtful and appreciated. Do NOT hesitate to use Richard and his families home for your Florida vacation. Cheers!!
Response: Dear Scott, We were so pleased to have had the chance to meet some of your family before we flew home from Orlando. It was the first time we have ever had the opportunity of meeting guests while they are staying in the villa and it was brilliant to see them enjoying the pool area so much and be able to put some faces to their names. Very pleased that Florida Delight was everything you had hoped for and the space of everything, the “royal” table included, made your stay so comfortable especially as your party was quite a large group of adults. We sincerely hope you return to stay at our villa again in the future and thank you very much for such a lovely review. Very best wishes, Nichola and Richard

PURE HEAVEN!

5 out of 5 |
What a fantastic place!! We've just got back from a 2 week stay at Watersong and cannot fault it. The villa is so much bigger than it looks on the video and absolutely beautiful. The villa has spacious and airy rooms with loads of different areas to chill out in. The kids loved the games room (and the PS4!) and the swimming pool and hot tub were huge hits with everyone. The kitchen is fully equipped and sociable as it opens up into the main living area. It was spotlessly clean and well maintained and with 8 of us there, it never felt cramped or that we were on top of one another. All of us agreed that should we return to Florida, we would most definitely stay here again. Some of the places we visited and loved which were all well within an easy journey from the villa included Volcano Bay, Universal, Sea World, Disney Springs and Celebration. We also went a little further and did an airboat ride which was wicked! All in all a top notch holiday which will never be forgotten. A big thanks to the Marsh family for making it so special. x
Response: Thank you for giving us such a glowing review. When someone describes their stay as “pure heaven” what more could we want for our guests! Great to read how you made the most of your time at the villa and always good when the kids are entertained with the PS4 and games room as well as all being able to chill out and relax. We would love to have you stay again and I am sure there are lots of places you would love to visit again in Orlando as well new experiences yet to try as so much to do in Florida.

This house was beautiful top to bottom. Very spacious. Love the heated pool. No complaints wld stay again. Easy comunication with the owner Richard. The weather was cold while we were there other than that awesome vacation.
Response: Thank you for leaving us such a positive review. You were certainly in Florida at a colder than usual time which was a shame for you but we are really pleased that the pool was still hot enough for you to be able to make use of it and enjoy while you were there and that the villa was good for you. We would be delighted if you ever want to stay again and many thank you for booking with us on this occasion. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Florida delight was the perfect base for our holiday. We loved the pool area with the hot tub. It is peaceful and private with a lovely view through to the trees. The house itself is very spacious and comfortable with large bathrooms and bedrooms. It is also a great location for exploring Orlando and surrounding area. Highly recommended.
Response: Dear Niname330, Many thanks for leaving us such a positive review and recommending our villa. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the pool area so much and were able to make the most of the peaceful location of Florida Delight.

A lovely villa with a huge amount of space and such a beautiful setting allowing you to explore all the sights of Florida. We went as an extended family and really enjoyed the luxury of the villa along with the huge amount of space allowing us to all really feel at home. There is so much to see and do locally that cramming it all into 2 weeks was amazing.
Response: Dear Callum, Thank you for a good review. We are so pleased that you were happy with the villa and the space it has worked well for you all. I hope you got everything done that you had hoped, as, like you say, there is just so much to do. With best wishes and thanks, Nichola and Richard

What can I say. A credit to Richard. Photos do not do it justice. Absolutely amazing. From the lounges. Bedrooms. Bathrooms. Kitchen. And the pool area with jacuzzi. There is plenty of room for you to have a lovely chill. Your not falling over each other. Richard has thought of everything to make you feel comfortable and at home. Absolutely stunning. You have to stay here. I will again and again. 5 star plus. Thank you.
Response: Dear Philjeep, Thank you for saying our villa is 5 star plus. We are really pleased that the villa seems to have ticked all the boxes for you. We would be delighted to have you stay again in the future. With many thanks and best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Family of 7 From the minute we walked through the doors our jaws dropped. The Villa had everything we needed and more. The customer service was 110% In an ideal location and extremely safe. Our age group ranged from 5 to 45 Attractions 25 min drive as well as restaurants only a short drive and taking a taxi if we didn't want to drive never broke the bank! We would highly recommend this Villa Thank you again to such a lovely genuine couple x
Response: Dear Vanessa, getting 110% for customer service is a tick for us, thank you! Good to read that everything was to your liking and that you enjoyed your stay. All the best, Nichola and Richard

So, if you are fussy about where to stay when visiting Florida, and only the best will do for you and your loved ones, then Florida Delight is the place to stay! We really can't fault it!

We had a family party of ten stay at this huge villa for the second two weeks of June, and it was awesome! Although the website photos do a good job, you don't really appreciate the size of the place until you actually arrive there, when you are blown away with the wow factor! This villa is the place you need to book! There are six big bedrooms all with ensuites, a games room, 2 huge receptions, and a spacious kitchen. It was very hot in Florida at the time, so every time we came back exhausted from visiting the parks, we spent a couple of hours cooling off in the fantastic pool - it was bliss! Everything you could ever need is to hand in this fantastic villa. It's about 30 - 45 minutes drive to most of the Disney/Universal parks, and the numerous other attractions. When you fancy a change from the Disney parks, I would recommend a visit to Boggy Creek for an airboat ride. It's fun, and you might see some alligators in their natural habitat! Then back to the villa's own pool, which is so refreshing! Wifi in the house itself is good, and with about 8 to 10 TVs to watch, or playing in the games room, there is always something to do if the weather is not great. Not that we really had any bad weather, other than a brief thunder storm now and again. Then there's the pool, which was always asking us to jump in, whatever the weather. You just could not resist it! Laundry facilities in the villa are ample, so it's a real home-from-home, although this place feels more like a mansion! Regarding food, we mixed it up between self catering (normally al fresco at one of the two tables by the pool), or visiting one of a wide choice of restaurants at places such as Champions Gate (about 10 -15 minutes drive away), or getting something delivered. All work great. Owners Richard and Nichola were very helpful right from when we booked the villa 18 months before the trip, right through to a telephone conversation we had with them whilst there. But the local dedicated management company is always on hand, and always contactable, so any issues are sorted very quickly and without any fuss. We had a very minor one when we had too many things plugged in to the sockets, causing just one or two of the sockets to trip, and they needed resetting. The maintenance team were with us within 30 minutes, and sorted it right away. So, if you are fussy about where to stay when visiting Florida, and only the best will do for you and your loved ones, then Florida Delight is the place to stay! We really can't fault it! And did I mention the pool?
Response: What can we say apart from thank you so much for such a glowing review! We are so delighted to read about how much you loved your stay and how the facilities with our villa met your requirements. The pool has obviously been a massive hit and so glad you made the most of it while you were there. As a large party space is so important to be able to spread out and relax and we hope that if you all decide to return to Florida together you will chose to rent Florida Delight again as we would love to have you as guests again in the future. With many thanks and best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Location is beautiful!!! This home is so much more than we expected. The photos here don't even do it justice. The kids played every day in the pool and the adults thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub every night as well. The rooms are spacious and very well put together. The owner called us to make sure that we were setup and everything was to our liking which was surprising and impressive. The management team was extremely helpful and very friendly. I honestly don't know what to say except we were very impressed and would ABSOLUTELY visit again!!!! Thanks Richard for the best Florida vacation yet!!!
Response: Dear Mario N. Thank you for your review. We really appreciate such positive feedback. We are also very pleased and grateful to our management company for the good service they are providing to our guests and it is great to read your comments around this. Do please visit Orlando again soon and if you do we hope that you will choose to be our guests again. With very best wishes, Nichola and Richard

we were two families staying together with grandma and all of us could not have been more happier

An absolutely amazing holiday villa! This was our second visit to Orlando so whilst having stayed in Davenport in the past this was the first time in Watersong which is a lovely gated community. The villa was so much more than the pictures show and what we expected. Such a spacious and very well decorated home, we were two families staying together with grandma and all of us could not have been more happier. The kitchen living area was very spacious and outside pool area with 4 kids was perfect. Bedrooms were all fantastic and big, and basics like washing machine, plenty of towels etc were just so handy. Games rooms is fab and the kids (and big kids!) spent plenty of time chilling and playing pool in the evenings. Was perfect location to get around to all the main attractions and was nice at the end of the day to come back home. We tried a couple of the local Bistro's in Davenport which was nice and away from the crowds. Would totally recommend staying here as would happily go back. Richard was very friendly and helpful from the beginning and calling us whilst we were there in the villa to check all ok which is a lovely touch. The Gill Family.
Response: Dear Mandy, we are glad that your first stay on Watersong and at our villa was a success with you and the rest of your family. It sounds like you all made the most of your stay and enjoyed what the villa and area had to offer. We hope you come back again one day. All the best, Nichola and Richard

I can't think of one thing to change with any of the rooms

Let me start by saying Flip Key is an amazing thing!! We went as a Family of 10. We arrived Mar 24, 2017 and stayed until April 1, 2017. We really lucked out with the weather .. once we arrived we were welcomed with a beautiful, well maintained,, perfectly laid out home. The rooms were perfect in size .. I can't think of one thing to change with any of the rooms. Having each with their own t.v and bathrm it was convenient for everyone to get ready for the day and end the evening!! The swimming pool was beyond perfect. For 3 days of our vacation we decided just to stay at the house and swim and enjoy the weather!!! There is no homes behind this house .. but there was wild life!! Lots of little geckos, a tortoise and of course a Herron!! The kids loved that!!! This home is defiantly what you want if you want to enjoy space to relax and space to enjoy the company of Family!!!! Lots to do...as Richard (Owner) has a lot of info at your fingertips!! Just one word of advice .. if you are booking an Air Boat Tour ..BOOK IN ADVANCE!!!! I used the gym as well and the computer room too .. very nice!! Overall a 5* house!!! There is no disappointment here! Just sit back and enjoy your vacay .. we did!!!!!
Response: Dear Kristin, thank you for your great review. We were both smiling the whole time that we were reading through it and could feel your enthusiasm in every sentence which was brilliant. It sounds like you really made the most of enjoying outside living around the pool, and we don’t blame you! When the weather is good, which it generally is, we have to agree that it can be very hard to tear yourself away from relaxing around the pool. Great that you loved the wildlife and nice that you got to see the resident tortoise too. One of the things we love is being in the pool at night when the stars are in the sky and the pool is floodlit and you can hear the birds and frogs in the woodland. I am pleased that you also got some use out of the gym and the computer room. We would love to have you to stay again next time you visit Orlando. With many thanks and best wishes, Nichola and Richard

I don't even know where to start with explaining how perfect this rental was! The home is beautiful and so nicely decorated! More than enough space for several families although we only had 2 families in the home for our stay. We all couldn't believe the amount of space we were able to enjoy at such a reasonable rate! The pool area was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing! Seating for tons of people around the pool. I only wish we had more people along to enjoy the space with us. Our biggest regret during our stay is that we packed in so many attractions during our week in Orlando, that we didn't get to enjoy more time at the home! Because the house is so peaceful and relaxing we feel we should have reserved a few days to just hang out and enjoy the space. Our kids had a great time as well and keep saying they want to live there! Next time we venture to Florida, I think it will be to just take some time to relax at this gorgeous villa and take it easy. The owners were easy to get a hold of and great with answering any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone staying near the Orlando area!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us...we will be back!!
Response: Hi Becky, thanks for such a nice review. We are glad that you enjoyed the villa so much but I can totally understand what you mean about regretting not having enough time to relax and enjoy being around the villa. I think many people do the same thing of being out and about so much enjoying all that Orlando has to offer (we have done the same many times) but often the nicest time is when it is just staying in and having a pool/villa day. Hopefully you will get the chance to come back and do just that one day.

Our stay at this beautiful villa was top notch. We've rented many vacation homes, and this was far and away our favorite. Every detail of the home was immaculate. The villa was stunningly decorated and had everything you could need for your stay. The owner communicated quickly and was most pleasant! You cannot go wrong staying in this amazing destination spot.
Response: Dear Elizabeth, thank you very much for your very positive review. Having rented vacation homes in the past and then stating that our villa is “far and away” your favourite is a fantastic testimonial because it is based upon previous experience and gives a very valuable comparison which for us and future guests is very reassuring. Next time you visit Florida for your vacation we do hope you will chose to rent our villa again. With many thanks, Nichola and Richard

What a fabulous villa! Beautifully decorated, well equipped, very spacious. 8 adults staying and more than enough room for all of us. Pool warm, jacuzzi hot. Clearly a lot of thought has gone in to this property to make it a home from home, plenty of towels, crockery etc.,. Ideally situated for Disney parks, Kennedy Space Centre, beaches on Atlantic coast and Gulf of Mexico coast (both of which worth a visit) Would highly recommend this as a great place to stay in Florida.
Response: Hi Jan, we are really glad that you liked the villa so much and would recommend it. Sounds like you did some great things while you were over here, including both coasts. That is a great thing about Watersong as a resort to stay on, it is so well placed. Come again some day. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

5* home from home

We are a party of 4 couples who have just been lucky enough to spend 12 nights in this fabulous villa, could not fault it in any way. Plenty of space for large groups or families, great living accommodation that you can tell Richard and Nichola have put their heart and soul into making as comfortable and luxurious as possible, this is certainly not a basic holiday rental! The pool area was ideal and we enjoyed meals on the large dining table outside and many a snooze on the relaxing corner sofa by the pool, the pool was lovely and warm and the hot tub was heaven! The Villa is ideally positioned for so many things, as we didn't have children we weren't interested in Disney but are aware it's close, as well as visiting Universal, we were able to venture out to St Petes and experience a dolphin watching sail, an airboat trip, Kennedy space centre and national park where we saw great wildlife including manatees! A great holiday made special by the superb villa, thank you
Response: Hi Louise, so pleased that our villa helped make your holiday even more special. Thank you for staying and for the 5* review. Do come back again one day. All the best, Nichola and Richard

"Dear Richard and Nichola, Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful villa! We have had the most amazing time and we are sad to be going back to Blighty! You made us feel incredibly welcome before we arrived so we were able to hit the ground running. The villa was perfect for getting to get to all the Disney parks, but we went even further afield to Gatorworld and Kennedy Space centre. The pool was always amazing to come back to and chill in the evenings and the whole place just felt like a home from home. Thanks again for a brilliant holiday and we hope to come back again in the near future. Midge, Sarah, Emma, Michael, Courtney and Vince from Sheffield, England and friends from New York"
Response: Hi Andrew, many thanks for the review. It sounds like the villa really hit the mark for you all which is great. We know exactly what you mean about the house being perfect to come home to after a busy day at the parks. It is such fun experiencing the big attractions of Orlando but returning to the pool and villa at the end of a busy day is a bit like an oasis! We hope you want to return again one day. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

The house is beautiful and was spotlessly clean.

5 out of 5 |
Wow...what a fabulous house. Firstly its enormous, spacious and very light with six wonderful bedrooms. My family did feel as if we had indulged ourselves quite a bit as there were only 4 in our party. We were in Orlando for 3 weeks and thought we'd spoil ourselves. The house is beautiful and was spotlessly clean. But one of the things that that make this house really special was the extra space around the swimming pool. It meant we could move the loungers completely around the pool to follow the sun or in my case get out of its way. Having stayed in other houses over the years in Florida I can tell you this made a hugh difference and was a big positive. Also the kitchen was lovely and a cut above the basic kitchens that are normally in these houses. It was very obvious that Richard and Nichola have taken a lot of care with the decor and their choices. Its stunning and very well maintained. Watersong was a lovely gated community with a clubhouse including a much larger pool. We used this pool on several occasions which has the advantage that little kids can paddle. The house was very near Disney and we spent a lot of time there. I found it very quick to home every night which was a good bonus. Nearby there are two Publix supermarkets, One at Champions Gate and the other in Davenport. Reasonably close are Crackerbarrel and Manny's Chophouse in Haines City. I recommend that people google these before they go and I'm so glad someone told me about them. There are great places to eat. I am now planning my next trip to Florida and am hoping I will be lucky enough to secure this home again...and go for another 3 weeks. The Kelly Family
Response: Dear Angela, thank you this is a lovely review. It is a very spacious villa but even when there are just the two of us here at times it feels good and as you say the decking area round the pool being of a really good size makes it possible to move the sun loungers around depending if you want to sit in the sun or avoid it. Glad you made use of the clubhouse pool too. A lot of people don't but it is actually really nice and a good place to have a swim. We hope you do come back again some day. All the best, Nichola and Richard

You truly need to experience it for yourselves to get the real understanding as to why I am so so happy with the money I spent.

When we first pulled up to the Watersong gated community, me and my family instantly felt a sense of security, even the security guards were polite and graceful. The house is set on a beautiful enclosed community and all the homes are very well maintained. When we arrived at our house we were instantly overwhelmed by the size of the property! As I mentioned, pictures honestly do not do it justice. We had 4 cars and they all fitted perfectly on the driveway. The interior of the house was incredibly beautiful. The furnishings are modern but also comfortable. My visit included a party of 11 and we still had enough space to do our own things. The living rooms and kitchen were fully equipped, even down to a garlic peeler in the draws. There were plenty of pots, pans, plates and glasses in all of the cupboards. The pool and Jacuzzi was incredible and spacious for us all to enjoy time together as a family. The beds all were extremely comfortable and even caused arguments regarding our return home for wanting to replace our own beds. All the bedrooms had an en-suite and these were perfectly sized to house the bedroom occupants. I could go on and on all day explaining how amazing this house was but you truly need to experience it for yourselves to get the real understanding as to why I am so so happy with the money I spent. What made the booking even more enjoyable was the fact that both Richard & Nichola were both so friendly and even give us a curtsy call on our first day ensuring that we were all happy and settled in. Thank you once more and I will undoubtedly be booking again in the future.
Response: Hi David, thank you so much for this review. We are really pleased that from you arriving at the gatehouse to the different aspects of the villa everything was to your liking. Having 4 cars and being able to get them all onto our drive is a real positive because quite a number of the drives on Watersong are only big enough for two cars and there is no on-street parking allowed. The size of our driveway is something that we feel is really important to our guests. We very much hope you do return again someday. With best wishes, Nichola and Richard

I have been to Disney, when I was little, and also a few times as my kids were growing. I have stayed in the Disney World Resorts and also in various condos outside the resort. This time was by far my families favorite location! The Villa was absolutely stunning!! I was looking to stay somewhere nice and this went far beyond my expectations. Myself, my husband and my teenage kids were so unbelievably surprised and happy with the villa! The house was huge, everyone had their own space to go when we got back from a busy day. Every room had a big television with Netflix which is always great. There was also a play station which was a big hit with the boys! We went in January, so I paid a little extra for pool heat, but it was well worth it. The owners, Richard and Nicola, were so helpful with everything and communicated quickly with all of our needs. The house was so well equipped with everything we needed, there are really not enough words to emphasize the thought this wonderful couple has put into this fabulous home. I am a bit apprehensive to write this review for fear that others will book and I wont be able to get another vacation here!! This villa is truly a gem and I would recommend it to any family with young or older children, this villa will satisfy all!
Response: Hi Nicole, it is always great when guests like yourselves book our villa and feel that it surpasses their expectations as to how nice it is. The accommodation for a holiday is, we believe, so important and if it makes everyone happy when they are staying at Florida Delight then we couldn't be happier for you. Thank you for staying and for the review. Nichola and Richard

Wonderful villa finished to a high standard in a good location

4 out of 5 |
Wonderful villa finished to a high standard in a good location.Comfortable beds and brilliant on suit facilities.Richard very helpful answering queries before and during our stay.Our family of 11 ranged between 8 and 68 with plenty of room for all and my five grandchildren loved the games room. We did have a problem with noise from a neighbours generator which was resolved in a couple of days.The only other negative was no access to the gym before 9am in the morning.Otherwise the perfect holiday villa.
Response: Many thanks for posting your review. We are so glad that the villa itself lived up to your expectations in terms of location, comfort, space and facilities and we really appreciate such positive comments. That is an interesting point about our neighbour’s generator. Air conditioning in general is of course one of those necessary evils in that we need it as it is too uncomfortable without it when it is really warm but the downside tends to be it can cause a background noise and many times too a restaurant, for example, can be so cool we need to wear a jumper to keep warm! We are assuming though from your feedback that the generator next door was not functioning properly if the noise was so noticeable and that it was later resolved back to a normal level. We are sorry to hear that you had to experience that. In terms of the gym we agree that 9 am is late as people will often want to get some exercise in first thing in the morning before heading out for the day to do other things. The opening times are unfortunately beyond our control but it is a fair point you make and we will certainly pass on this feedback to the Home Owner’s Association. Thank you again for your custom and it was lovely to have you stay at our villa and hope that you will stay with us again some day. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Beautfully kept and very clean, we would not hesitate to recommend it

5 out of 5 |
We have been visting the Orlando area for 15 years and this is the best villa we have stayed in. It is located in Watersong, a very quiet and beautiful place that is gated so you feel very secure. And the villa is every bit as good as the pictures suggest. There were five of us so there was plenty room for all and we particularly liked the bedroom layout upstairs - our master was at one end and the other master and queen rooms at the other so we felt that we had our own place to escape to! The deck area around the pool is larger than usual and luckily, we could use it all even in December because we were fortunate enough to have lovely weather. The warm pool was a favourite with granddaughter Jasmine! Watersong is less than half an hour's drive to the theme parks and the villa was a great place to return to at the end of a busy day. Beautfully kept and very clean, we would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a special place for their Florida holiday. And owners Richard and Nichola go out of their way to ensure a troublefree stay.
Response: What a wonderful endorsement of our villa, thank you so much. It is always fantastic to receive great feedback for our villa but when a guest has had so much experience of staying in other villas and ranks ours the best is praise indeed and hope this feedback helps reassure other potential guests who are choosing where to book. Like you have said, the villa is very spacious both inside and outside around the pool and the amount of room it offers our guests to spread out and relax makes a huge difference to their enjoyment. Really glad you had good weather when you were out there in December. I agree too that it is not a long drive back from all of the excitement of the theme parks but a very welcome oasis in which to relax and recharge ready for the next day. We really hope you return to stay with us again and thank you for being such lovely guests. All the very best for 2017, Nichola and Richard

Only one problem with this villa - you will not want to leave. Every bit as good as the pictures suggest and owners Richard and Nichola ensure their guests are very well looked after and their home in the sun is spotless. Watersong is a beautiful, quiet place, with the theme parks only a short drive away. Definitely one of the best villas and locations!
Response: Hi, thanks you for the review. It isn't that easy to leave Florida Delight but you are always welcome to return! All the best, Nichola and Richard

We were party of 9 and this beautiful villa offered lots of options for us all regarding space downstairs and rooms upstairs The pool was perfect and provided hours of fun and relaxation We love staying on Watersong it is a quiet estate and although a 20 min plus drive each day into the parks it was never a problem Richard and Nichola could not have been more helpful answering any questions we had when booking and made the whole process easy Nichola called us while we were at villa to ensure we had settled in and found everything . In order or had any questions. Thank you we would recommend the villa.
Response: Thank you Karen for saying you recommend the villa and for your 5* review. We agree that Florida Delight as a villa is aptly named! Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Richard we did not want to leave the villa because it felt like home! Your villa was equipped with everything we needed and more. That week went by so quickly that we were saddened when it was time for us to go. We would like to return back to this villa but we see you are pretty much booked up. Thank you again for trusting us with your home, and we truly enjoyed every bit of our stay! Regards, The Jackson, Ervin, and Duncan Family
Response: Dear LaToya, Many thanks you for your great review. Good to know that our villa wasn’t lacking with regards to what you may have needed during your stay. We constantly add to what is at the villa when we are over there ourselves be it with smaller everyday items like additional larger saucepans or a hand blender to bigger items like a ceiling fan in the lounge or solar lights around the pool for in the evenings. We also take on board ideas from previous guests as to what they thought would have been useful and try and purchase what has been suggested. We would love to have you stay again and although as you rightly say we are pretty much booked up next year we do still have a few weeks left in 2018 and a good choice of dates in 2019 if you are wanting a return holiday in a couple of years time! With kindest regards, Nichola and Richard

We contacted Richard when booking the villa a few months earlier and had nothing but quick and very helpful responses. We even used the sat nav which was sent prior to the visit which helped us find the villa resort on arrival. There were to be 8 in the party but only had 6 in the end. The villa was excellent. The pool was heated on request and was superb at the end of a day after parks! The furniture and furnishings are all beautiful and comfortable. The 6 of us all commented on how wonderful the villa was and there was the desire for us all to stay longer! Thank you for the rental of your home. You never know we may be back. I would definitely recommend this villa.
Response: Dear Fiona, Many thanks for giving our villa and customer service such a positive review. We really like to be able to be able to respond as soon as possible to any questions guests may have or give advice when anyone is looking to book our villa or indeed does book it and we are very pleased that you were happy with the response and support Richard gave you. It is always a pleasure to lend our guests a satnav and it is something we like to do as it can save them around $150 not having to hire one along with a car. Thank you for your comments about the villa itself and we would be very happy for you to come back and enjoy another stay some time! With our very best wishes, Nichola and Richard

We had a fantastic two week stay at Florida Delight in April, with 3 generations of family staying (8 adults and 4 young children). Even with the bedrooms full, there was still so much space . The kitchen and open plan family room were great and had everything we needed. The pool was just simply brilliant and we were able to relax on the pool loungers and the outdoor corner sofa. All the bedrooms are really well presented with great showers, comfortable beds and TV's all over the house. We found the villa so nice that we took a couple of days out in our schedule for some RnR (even finding time for some BBQ's) and enjoyed the villa for what it is "a home away from home!" and not just a holiday crash pad. Any queries we had were immediately sorted out by either Richard or Nicola, who were absolutely fantastic before, during and after our stay! Couldn't have asked for more and we are already having another chaotic family get together, to sort out our next stay! Many thanks, Lee & Jodie.
Response: Dear Lee and Jodie, great to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the villa was large enough for you as a party of 12. Finding a home away from home is always a good thing and we very much hope that you do return to Florida Delight again soon. Thank you, Nichola and Richard

Enhanced Holiday Experience
|
5 out of 5 |
This is a beautiful villa but the holiday experience was enhanced by the little extras and excellent customer service provided by the owners Nichola and Richard. When we initially considered this property and looked at the comments provided by other guests I must admit we were sceptical "it couldn't be that good" - in this case IT IS. The description, photos and reviews fully reflect this property. It is a large, spacious, well maintained property which is well equipped, with modern comfortable furnishings. The layout of the property with two lounges and dining areas allowed us,as a family of 10, to relax/eat together or have "our own space". Furthermore each bedroom allowed direct access to en suite facilities. When we were not out at the Theme Parks or Malls there was the heated pool, well equipped games room, PS4 and numerous TVs available. However, it was not only the standard of the property which impressed, but also the excellent customer service provided by the owners. From the initial enquiry through to the return of the deposit the service had been first rate. Any questions raised have been cleared quickly. Moreover the provision of a free phone (to k.i.t. with those at home), the use of the owners Sat Nav and the fact that the owner (not the management company) called to ensure all was ok suggests owners who care about customer service/experience. If you are seeking a beautiful spacious villa, in a quiet location yet relatively close to the attractions and where the property owners provide exceptional customer service then I have no hesitation in recommending that you try and secure this one.
Response: Dear Terry, this is such a great endorsement of the customers service that we try so hard to deliver to our guests. We know ourselves how important good customers service is when we go anywhere and it is something that we really want to make as good as possible for all our guests who stay at Florida Delight because not only does it enhance their experience but it also helps give them peace of mind and potentially relieve any concerns they may have of going to a villa and an area that are new to them. Thanks for your review and for stressing how pleased you were with our customer service. We are sure your words will reassure any future guests considering booking with us.

House was better then the pictures showed there were 6 of us staying .Pool was heated had plenty of of seating and lounging couch.Furniture was high end checking in was very simple owners call to make sure everything was ok from booking to checkout I have rented homes in the past and this was the best of them all in all areas and the rates were so affordable . The owners even let us check out at a later time without extra charge .The house was close by to everything just a short drive.Look forward to returning hope for a longer stay .THANK YOU for letting us use your beautiful home.
Response: Dear Margaret, Many thanks for your excellent review and such a positive endorsement of our villa. We are so pleased that you and the rest of your party enjoyed your stay so much and were so happy with the villa. We stayed here ourselves directly after you and read with great happiness the comments you had also each written in the guest book that we keep here. It is very hard for photographs to really convey exactly how nice the villa is, especially how spacious, so it is lovely when a guest says it is better than the pictures. We are glad you felt the furniture is high end as that is exactly what we have endeavoured to do when furnishing Florida Delight. We are very pleased too that you found the location to your liking and close to everything you wanted to do as that is very important. It was a real pleasure chatting to you on the phone when I rang to check everything had gone well during your stay. We hope you and your friends return to stay with us again in the future. With very best wishes, Nichola and Richard

Huge property, impressive pool and deck area
|
5 out of 5 |
We are a couple in our 30s and travelled with my parents who are in their 60s for a relaxing Christmas/New Year break. This property was perfect for us as it meant each couple practically had a 'wing' each. It would also be ideal for large family groups or 2/3 smaller families sharing. The property was beautifully decorated (exactly as it appeared in the photos) but what the pictures don't get across is the size of the place, it's huge! Perfect for large groups getting together but also lots of different areas for everyone to find their own space if they need some peace and quiet. The extended pool area meant that even in the winter, we were able to get the sun all day. The privacy screens at the side and no properties at the back meant that it felt very private. We requested pool heat, which made it the perfect temperature for our winter break. We basically spent most of the fortnight floating in the pool using the floats provided, a lovely touch! My Dad was in his element as he was able to watch more Premiership football games on the TV than he would get to see at home, while my husband escaped to the games room or the PS4 area whenever he got the chance. The management company were very responsive when we called to report one small issue, they arrived within a couple of hours and it was sorted. Richard and Nicola were fantastic during the booking process and beyond. They responded promptly to all of our queries and even rang us on our first full day to check we were enjoying it. They also returned our security deposit extremely promptly - I can't fault the service they provided. We have recommended this property to a number of our friends since returning but unfortunately (for them) they haven't been able to book as their dates aren't available. It looks like this is becoming a very popular property so my advice would be don't wait, book up quickly, you won't regret it!
Response: Dear Wendy, What a fantastic review, thank you! There is a definite theme to the feedback from our guests and that is how spacious the villa is, which is really reassuring for us to read because when we had our villa built we made the decision to go for a larger home because of the extra space this would give guests. It does mean that everyone can spread out and enjoy having their own room and bathroom as well as being able to find their own space to relax. and do their own thing whenever they want to do so. We smiled at your feedback about being able to watch Premiership football matches. This was a priority for Richard as a football fan and my chance to enjoy a quiet read by the pool whenever we are out there! We really appreciate the fact that you are recommending our villa to your friends too. It is true that it is proving very popular and already over half of 2017 is booked and we are only in March 2016. This is wonderful for us as owners and helped greatly I think by the great reviews we have had over the past year and recommendations from guests and we are very grateful for this. We can only suggest, as you have, that people who would like to book the villa try and get their dates as soon as possible. Thank you again for staying with us and we hope that you will choose to book with us again some time in the future. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

'this house ranks at the top of the places we stayed'

The home is just as advertised on the web sight. We stayed 9 days for a family get together with my mom and two adult children. We had plenty of room to spare. Richard and Nichola are very prompt on their replies on our questions. We have done time share stays and house rentals for many years as our children were growing up and this house ranks at the top of the places we stayed. One note of caution, you will be about 1/2 hour away from shopping and restaurants, we did not mind this since we prefer to be away from that type of environment. There is a small shopping center about 5 minute drive that has a Publix grocery, wine and small eateries. The kitchen is pretty well equipped, if I were to make a suggestion it would be to add a larger frying pan and pasta pot to the inventory.
Response: Hi Bruce, Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a good and comprehensive review. Fantastic to read that your experience of having stayed in our villa surpassed your previous experiences in other villas or time shares that you have had over the years. The amount of space our villa has always seems to appeal greatly to guests because you can spread out, relax and not feel on top of each other. Each time Richard and I stay there ourselves we try to add to the home in some way. We were in fact staying there the week before you and in that time we put up the outside solar lights around the pool area which we hope guests enjoy in the evenings when sitting out. We also bought a hand blender/chopper for the kitchen for making things like soups or baby foods. We really appreciate your suggestions and will definitely be adding them to our inventory for the kitchen when we return in May. Thank you for booking with us and for being such great guests. We do hope that if you ever decide to return to Orlando for a holiday you chose to stay with us again. With very best wishes, Nichola and Richard

I have been visiting Orlando for the past 4 years and this home was by far the best place I stayed. It was beautiful, clean and very spacious. The beds were very comfortable and the home has everything you could possibly need. The owners were a pleasure to work with and even called once we checked in to make sure everything was ok, which was very thoughtful. No need to look further you will not be disappointed if you rent this home. Can't wait to visit again.
Response: Hi Aritha, thank you for your review. It is always great to hear that we compare very favourably with other villas that our guests have stayed in before in Orlando. We hope you return again soon.

It is the best house we have rented in Orlando. It was clearly above our expectations and we did have an excellent time. It's fully equipt and is more of an private 5 star hotel. Communications and service from the owner is top class. It will definitely be a first choice in the future.
Response: Hi Siggy, thanks for your review and we are glad the villa exceeded your expectations. Nichola and Richard

Just returned from a fantastic two week stay at Florida Delight. The villa is 5* in every aspect. We were a party of seven adults and we had so much space to relax or to entertain comfortably both inside and out. The kitchen is spacious and we prepared quite a few meals at home and were able to relax around the pool on loungers and the sumptuous corner outdoor sofa. Not that any of the attractions and restaurants are more than a short drive away. In addition to the excellent theme parks such as Universal studios and Kennedy Space centre take time to seek out the plentiful local wildlife. We were lucky to go on sail boat dolphin watching and an airboat to see alligators in their natural habitat - magical! All the bedrooms are well equipped with high quality showers, really comfortable beds and even Netflix on TVs all over the house. In fact you can't fault this villa in any way. The owners have carefully thought of everything from wifi, plenty of towels, enough relaxing and dining areas both inside and out. We would definitely recommend and hope to return as there's so much to see and do x
Response: Dear Karen and Steve, thank you so much for your review. It was good to read that you have been able to get out and about and experience some of Florida's wonderful wildlife as well as the theme parks. We are so glad that you liked the villa so much too. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard

We also have had the great fortune of spending the last 10 years holidaying in Orlando visiting many of the popular developments. With four children we are very choosy when selecting a vacation home ie safety, location, facilities, decor. We are very impressed with Florida Delight, it's been a pleasure staying here and are sad to leave but hope to return soon.
Response: Dear Carrie, thank you for your review and we are very glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay.

Absolutely amazed at this place. Beautiful and modern furnishings with all the small little details that make it simply better than the rest such as USB sockets for charging all the phones and tabs! The heated jacuzzi was just bliss after a long day at the parks. Pool area is lovely with lots of seating and plenty areas to catch the sun! Massive villa with lots of space and seperate areas which means you definetely don't feel cramped and under each others feet (I has to search for my kids) lol Ideal location not far from all the parks and restaurants. Owners Richard and Nichola went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and made sure our stay was superb. We are returning next year. Cannot wait!
Response: Dear Denise, thank you so much for your very positive and 5 star review. We are so glad that you liked the villa and so much so that you have already committed to coming next year. Wonderful, thank you!

Perfect Watersong Villa

5 out of 5 |
Florida Delight is a well appointed, clean and perfectly positioned home. The house is ideal for families wanting to soak up the sun and visit the Florida parks, it has ample space down stairs for all the family to chill and relax. The house comes with many thoughtful touches, the free use Vonage phone was handy allowing phone calls home. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large enough and flexible enough for all families. The pool area was a little concern to us before we arrived as we prefer south facing deck areas but i must say it was perfect. The extended deck and the additional seating area made it great for breakfasts in the early morning sun and evenings with a glass of wine with ample sun during the day. The solar heated pool more than takes the chill off the water, it kept the water at a very comfortable 86 deg. The pool deck looks out over a wooded area and is screened on each side to make it private. Watersong is a quiet and safe community with a great club house if you want to use its bigger pool or its fitness centre. Richard was very easy to deal with answering all of our questions quickly and honestly, it is obvious that he prides himself by providing a well thought out rental home.
Response: Dear PJ, thank you for your review. It was interesting reading your comments about the pool as a number of people ask about it being south facing but your observations are spot on and the extended pool deck does help make a big difference.

The villa was fantastic and had everything and more that you could possibly need. Not going to mention rooms specific rooms being decorated nice as the whole house was declared lovely. The pictures certainly don't do it justice. The Resort: Lovely gated community that requires a code to get in the front gate giving that added sense of security. Unfortunately we never got a chance to see the clubhouse or communal pool but based on the rest of the resort I'm sure they were lovely. The House: Well, where do I start?! the house is in a brilliant location of the resort. Doesn't directly face any other houses which makes the difference for privacy. As you enter there is a lovely open plan front living and dining room area, again we didn't have time to use. There is a downstairs toilet and a mini bar area leading through to the massive back room of the house. This consists of a brilliant open plan kitchen with all the appliances you normally need and more. Here there is a massive breakfast bar and loads of work top space. Next to this there is a massive dining area looking onto the pool area. Across from the kitchen is a great sitting room space with an enormous television. This is where we spent most of our time in the house. Upstairs we only used half of the bedrooms so can't comment on everything but the rooms we used were immaculate and extremely comfy beds. Every bedroom has access to an ensuite which is ideal. We have rented villas in the past and had a good time but there were several things here that made the difference: Towels - There were copious amounts of towels which really helped as when you're on holiday you don't have time to keep re washing the same few towels. Pool - Great size but most importantly what surrounds it. A villa to either side but very well spaced. The owners have added a frosted effect to the pool netting at either side which was great as again, I know I keep repeating it, added privacy. And lastly, for added privacy one again, it backed onto trees and not other people's pools like a lot villas in the area. Tech - All the small things like this mount up to make the difference from other properties. A TV in every bedroom, one in the back open plan room and even one in the games room. Also, a den area on the landing up stairs. The back room, games room and den area TV's all had a sound bar. The den area had a PS4, laptop and printer.
Response: Hi, this a really great and comprehensive review, thank you. We are really glad that you enjoyed the villa so much and it sounds like all aspects of it were just right for you especially the privacy it offers which is very good. We hope you choose to return again some day. All the best, Nichola and Richard

This villa is stunning. A true home from home, with everything you could wish for. Plenty of space, beautifully well appointed, and in a very peaceful private gated neighbourhood around 20-25mins drive from the Disney parks. The owners could not have been more helpful, and I highly recommend booking this house before anyone else does! It's the little touches that really make all the difference, and we feel very lucky to have stumbled on this property, as it contributed greatly to our fantastic week in Orlando. I really can't praise the villa or the owners enough.
Response: Hi, thank you that is very kind of you to say that about us. We do really try to give our best customer care so it is good to know it goes down well with our guests. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard.

This is a stunning villa. Clean and tastefully decorated. We travelled as a family of 10. Even with all of us there was more than enough room. I am personally very fussy when it comes to accommodation but this ticked every box. The bedrooms were spacious and the pool area was great and the pool and jacuzzi was flood lit at night. I was sad to leave and would recommend it to anybody who is looking for more than just a villa!
Response: Hi Linda, that is good to know that our villa ticked all your boxes and that you are happy to recommend it. We appreciate that thank you.

Superb Villa

The villa offered every pleasure, the pool was always warm and inviting. We felt like Kings and Queens. Hot water seemed unlimited in the showers. Excellent room for playing cards at night. Great games room with pool, darts, foosball and air hockey. Awesome TV lounge too with every possible channel. The gated neighbourhood made things safe for nightly walks and the golf course was only 10 minutes away. All-in-all, a superb stay.
Response: Well what more can we say... if the villa made you feel like Kings and Queens then job done! Thank you for saying that and for staying.

We have just returned from a visit to this villa and all I can say is WOW! It has a fantastic layout and would be perfect for 2 families sharing, it has 2 amazing master suites and is incredibly spacious - the quality of furniture and finishings is second to none, and we have stayed in many Orlando villas over the years. The villa has an extended deck, meaning that the spacious feel of the inside of the villa continues to the outside space. The pool is not overlooked at the back and has privacy screens at the side. I was very impressed by the seating and dining areas that ensured large parties were catered for. The owners were lovely to deal with and did not bat an eye when asked for a very last minute extension to our stay - we enjoyed the villa so much we didn't want to leave. I would not hesitate to recommend the villa, all 5 stars are well deserved. Thanks Richard and Nichola - you should be very proud of your home, Martin and Jacqui xxx
Response: Hi Martin and Jacqui, we really love your review thank you! It is a great endorsement when you have stayed in other villas in Orlando and feel that our villa, Florida Delight comes out so well in comparison. Thanks again, Nichola and Richard.

Hello Nichola and Richard, We did receive you email and we and the kids are still talking about your home and all the fun they had there. We just completed a review about your place and our vacation while there. Nothing but positive comments about you place and your responses back and forth to us. Enjoy your stay in Florida in the next few weeks and if you need a very nice place to stay, try "Florida Delight." You will not be disappointed. Thanks again, Jennie and Robert Still Review: - Outstanding, entertaining, and fun for all ages 'We arrived on Saturday, March 28, 2015 for a four night stay. We don't generally give reviews, but this is an exception. You need to know that if you are looking for a place to stay near all the major attractions in central Florida, this is definitely an exceptional find. We were traveling with six adults and five children, treating the kids to a Legoland vacation. We cannot say enough positive things about the house, you really have to see it. Everything was absolutely great, beautifully decorated for the adults and so much entertainment for the kids. They loved having Netflix in their bedrooms, the gaming system in the lounge, and the recreation room. The pool area was very spacious allowing us all to eat outside most evenings. A great time was had by all. You will not be sorry if you rent this home. It will definitely enhance your vacation. Just a word about the owners, as they were so pleasant and helpful in every way'. Robert and Jennie S.
Response: Hi Robert and Jennie, thank you so much for such a lovely review. We really appreciate it and even more so as you don't normally leave reviews after a stay somewhere. Thank you for renting Florida Delight and we hope you come back one day. take care, Nichola and Richard.

'.........your house/villa has the wonderful privacy of its own swimming pool and outdoor living area.'
|
5 out of 5 |
We have stayed in the Orlando area before in a high rise condo arrangement. In contrast, your house/villa has the wonderful privacy of its own swimming pool and outdoor living area. The six bedrooms and ample interior space provide comfort for small or large groups with the ability to cook in house and serve twelve people at the dining table. It is great to eat at the local restaurants, but wonderful to enjoy gatherings at home which your villa provides. I also enjoyed the security of your location and the simple driving to the theme parks and shopping outlets, yet able to enjoy a country view from the pool deck.
Response: Hi Fred, thank you for your review. We are so glad you felt comfortable and secure at our villa. All the best Nichola and Richard

Far exceeded expectations, the family were so impressed. Palatial villa, tastefully furnished and appointed. So very convenient for all the famous attractions we had heard about but had never visited before. Also grateful for information provided for booking tickets locally for these in advance, even the same day. Certainly saved us a lot of cash and queuing time on arrival. Good restaurants locally and don't miss the shopping malls with the designer labels at up to 70% discount. We honestly felt like film stars in the hot jacuzzi and pool. Kids loved to play pool, air hockey, table footie and especially electronic darts in the games room. Best holiday ever.
Response: Thank you for being some of our first ever guests to our villa. We are so glad you loved your stay and enjoyed all the Orlando has to offer. Best wishes, Nichola and Richard.
