Beautiful House
The house was perfect. It matched the description and pictures online. The owners were helpful when contacted and quick to respond. The pool was a great addition that could be used anytime thanks to it being heated. Disney parks were only a 30 min to 45 min drive. Great location. Thanks for helping us make great holiday memories.

Lovely villa in great location
We’ve stayed on Southern Dunes several times and it’s a great place. First time staying in this villa and it had everything we could ask for. The whole process has been straightforward; great communication from owner and management company, well equipped and clean villa. We hope to visit again soon!

Great villa and location
Had a great 3 week stay at this lovely villa. Very spacious and clean. Southern Dunes is one of our favourite places to stay and in a great location for nearby eating/shopping and fairly close to parks (though I would recommend using 192 as I4 was constantly slow moving!) 10/10 or 5 stars!

Lovely Florida Villa Rental
If you are thinking of renting a Villa for your stay in Florida look no further than this not so little gem. From booking through to arriving and even afterwards the Host was always willing to answer any queries we had. The Villa is located in a quiet gated community and we never heard any other neighbours. All facilities within the Villa are top notch, especially the lovely Pool area. 10/10.

I love Southern Dunes and this villa was fantastic. Views on to 17th hole, and with supermarkets and restaurants minutes drive away, it ticked the boxes. We hired the villa for 4 weeks and there was everything you needed for your stay. The villa was lovely decorated and felt homely. The management company were easy to deal with from booking to checking out. I have been to Orlando for many years and I felt this was the best. Location straight down H27 to I4 for parks.

Nice stay
We stayed for 17 nights in January. Southern Dunes is a very nice community to stay, the golf course is very well maintained and beautiful. The house was spacious with some upgrades. We appreciated the spaciousness of the pool deck. The kitchen is well stocked with many small appliances. Was nice to have a gas grill available for use. The keypad on the door stopped working, maintenance was dispatched and replaced batteries but that did not resolve the issue so they gave us a key. It was a little unsettling not knowing who else had a key. One of the produce drawers in the refrigerator was inoperable and there was nothing they could do to remedy. No window in living area, dark furniture, dated dark shag carpet in bedrooms all make a dreary environment. This home is fine for a short 1 week stay.

GREAT CHRISTMAS/NEW YEARS VACATION
THE OVERALL STAY I CAN SAY WE ENJOYED OURSELVES. WE STARTED OFF ROCKY BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS COLD FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS. WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT THE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING IN WHICH WAS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR INSTEAD OF HEAT. WE LET THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND THE OWNER KNOW ABOUT THISAND SINCE IT WAS THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS, IT WAS REPAIRED THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. THE OWNER DID OFFER US SOME HEATERS TO USE IN THE MEANTIME. AFTER THE COLD FRONT MOVED AWAY AND THE WEATHER GOT BETTER, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT. THE PROPERTY WASGREAT WITH ALL THE AMENITIES AND RESTAURANTS AND STORES ARE RIGHT THERE. OVERALL, THIS WAS GREAT AND APPRECIATE THE STAY. WILL LOVE TO STAY AGAIN AT THIS PROPERTY.

The Perfect Villa
I can’t praise this villa highly enough. We arrived from the UK for a 2 week stay and the villa was everything and more we could have hoped for. It’s difficult to sum it all up in one review so in summary, great layout of villa, VERY well equipped, GREAT spacious pool area and hot tub a welcome bonus!. Lounge area really comfortable after a long day at the parks, good TVs with selection of channels (even shows UK premier league football (soccer) ) -All bedrooms well equipped and with 3 bathrooms, bathing/showering was quick. New and modern washer and dryer very good. We loved the kitchen and used the breakfast bar daily for breakfast. Fantastic provision of towels to use. Walking distance to Walmart, Winn Dixie and Dollar Tree. Great restaurants also very close by including Manny’s Chop House and Dora’s Pizza. All in all, a fabulous stay and we shall look no further if (when) we return to the area. Thank you for having us!!

Great location
We were visiting to check out central FL as we may possibly be moving there. This home is in the perfect location! It’s 20-30 mins to Disney, 30-40 to Lakeland, 1.5 to Daytona, 2 to Crystal River. It was very easy to get to everything we wanted to see. When you leave the development there is a Walmart right there. It is in a gated community which is an added plus. The home itself is situated towards the back of the community on a super quiet street. The villa is large and well decorated. The pool and hot tub were very nice as well as the games in the garage. Unfortunately for us the heat index was 100+ so we didn’t spend much time outside but the whole lanai/garage was set up very well. The heat also caused the villa to be hot during the day but that was just the luck of the draw visiting FL in August. The check out instructions where some of the easiest I’ve seen which is a plus when you’re running around making sure everything is packed and neat. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this villa.

Home was extremely hot!! But clean
The house was overall good! The main problem was the air!! Florida is to hot for the air to be set at 75 degrees!! The home needs a new air unit...we stayed 10 days in the home and the air conditioning was horrible. The master bedroom and the bathroom vents does not work. The amount of price for the home needs to be reduced if the homeowners refuses to fit it. We purchased a fan and was able to survive the home for 10 days with the fan...that should be!

Comfortable but disappointed
First off, very disappointed with the hot tub. We understand why it didn't work but wish we known that ahead of time. I would think that management would've made sure that it was working before renting it out. We would like a refund since this wasn't our fault that the tub didn't work. Was really looking forward to using it for my back. Second disappointment was with the pool. When we arrived the pool wasn't heated. After a couple of calls to management they were able to get the heat going but it didn't last. Next day it was cold again and the following days after. Maybe it was the weather, not sure. Thirdly, internet was very slow and choppy which made it difficult to enjoy streaming movies through the tv. Otherwise the home was clean and bed was VERY COMFORTABLE!!! Despite the flaws, we would still recommend staying in your home and would like to visit again once the above issues are resolved. Thank you for your time.

A Great Place that needs some attention.
We loved our stay, but we have one important issue that really needs to be addressed, and that is the cleanliness of the bedding. We noticed that several of the pillows were HEAVILY stained. We changed the sheets after being there for a week and we were mortified by what we found...to say the least. Some pillows had 1-2 pillow protectors on them - which were also heavily stained - and some pillows had just a pillow sheet on them. The pillows should have been thrown out and replaced LONG ago. We washed all the sheets, pillow protectors and two blankets we were using immediately. We were then surprised at how "new " the blankets looked after being washed and dried. It seemed very clear to us that the bedding - at least in the MR - had not been properly washed or inspected for quite some time. I cannot speak for the rest of the beds/bedding, but everything should be checked and replaced, if needed. This was relayed to the property manager via text msg when we left and two of the pillows were left w/o coverings to show what we had found. It was a very disappointing find during a very relaxing stay at this home. The location, open design, pool, hot tub, privacy and restaurants/shopping nearby made us very glad we chose the property to relax and enjoy all the sun on the patio. Just about everything you need is nearby, with Walmart being just outside the gate of the community. A good clean and new pillows would get a 5+ star rating from me.

Property exactly as described and exceeded expectations
We almost didn’t book this house as there were only 2 of us travelling and we didn’t need the extra space. The description and pictures of the kitchen and large pool area sold us on it and we were not let down. The kitchen area was large enough to move around and prepare a meal and every imaginable appliance or amenity was available. Sadly we were only there a week so didn’t have opportunity to take advantage of all the homes offerings. The large pool deck area and hot tub were an added treat. The home location is ideal - Close to everything but far enough away from the commotion that comes With most Florida vacations - and yes you can walk to the grocery store or Walmart with little ease. We did have one question arise upon arrival despite Thinking I was contacting the management company I got an almost immediate reply from the home owner several states away. It was very much appreciated that they also contacted us with concerns regarding the impending weather - we are hopeful that hurricane Milton did not cause extensive damage to the property despite multiple days with no electricity. I’m sure there is much more I should mention in a review that I’ve overlooked - perhaps it is easiest to say that we would definitely recommend this property and have discussed the possibility of a return in 2025.

Lovely, cosy house, perfect for our holiday.
We were really pleased with the house and the layout was great. First time that there has ever been enough coat hangers and the safe was a bonus too. We would have barbecued more if we were allowed to do this by the pool, as opposed to having to cook on the drive or by the front door. We have stayed in a number of villas before and have never had to this. We also noticed that other residents did not abide by this rule. Otherwise a great holiday in a lovely house which would not hesitate to book again.
