From the owner

One of the best located villas, with unique views of the 5th & 6th fairways, our Luxury 5 Bedroom home with private swimming pool and balcony will not disappoint. From the moment you turn into the beautiful tranquil Golf community resort of Highlands Reserve you immediately get the WOW factor and the WOW factor continues as you open our front door and explore our home which has central air-conditioning.

Highlands Reserve is a very popular community with a prestigious championship 18 hole (par 72) golf course (rated 3.5, Stars by Golf Digest's) with Tennis courts, large communal swimming pool and children’s play park. The reserve is ideal for Golfers and non-Golfers alike.

The advantages of the Highlands Reserve are numerous. It’s an ideal location to explore, situated a short distance from world renowned attractions (Disneyworld is just 12 minutes away). There are many other internationally known theme parks and facilities in the area, such as Sea World, Universal Studios, Gatorland, Wet & Wild, Salvador Dali Museum, Lego Land plus sports such as fishing, horse riding and hot-air balloon, helicopter and air boat rides, etc. Visitors will also be spoilt with the numerous and diverse restaurants and dinner shows (Pirates, Arabian Knights etc), offering excellent value for money,

There are 3 major highways on the doorstep - Hwy 27 (where Highlands Reserve is situated) and Hwy 192 and Interstate 4 to swiftly get you from Orlando International Airport in approximately 35 minutes, Sanford Airport 45 minutes or Tampa International 65 minutes.

The East or West coast and Kennedy Space Centre are around 60 - 75 minutes away.

Whether you want to lounge around, or relax after a hectic day of activity, what better way to do so than watch the sun go down overlooking the fairways or play in our swimming pool which can be heated in the cooler months.

What makes our home stand out from the crowd? It’s location, location, location, Wonderful views of the Golf fairways 5th and 6th. Comfortable furniture with wall mounted flat screen LED HDTV’s from 32” to 60” Now to whet your appetite regarding the comforts of our Florida home.

American side by side Refrigerator with ice-maker & drink dispenser. Electric Cooker with oven and ceramic hot plates, large Microwave, dish washer, everything you could possibly need to create anything from a snack to a banquet.

Pool and Patio Area - We have provided 6 sun loungers and a patio table with 4 chairs for your comfort. The pool can be heated for an additional charge (recommended from November to March). For those alfresco dining experiences, we have provided melamine crockery. A BBQ can be hired.

For Golfers or complete novices the Clubhouse rents clubs and provides golf lessons and has a driving range. The clubhouse serves light snacks and drinks. Mike Dasher's Highlands Reserve Golf Course (opened in 1998) located 12 minutes southwest of Disney World is a golf course unlike anything you would expect in Florida. What makes Highlands Reserve special is the spirited design that matches the property's unique character. The course sits on the edge of a long sand shelf called the Green Swamp Ridge near the town of Davenport, with elevations spanning 120 feet from top to bottom. Dasher's holes fairly dance around it, two-stepping from a high point at the first green all the way to the low basin of the 13th fairway.

Response from the owner
Thank you very much for your input. We are very pleased with your comments. In regard to the issues raised. We try very hard to provide a well equipped house for our guests and were surprised to read that there were no tea towels as we provide 6. We have spoken to our Management Company about this and provision of a small starter pack for washing up. Had a high chair been requested during booking it would have been provided free of charge.
