About this property
VRBO TOP 1% PROPERTY — Lakefront 9BR Resort • 6 King Suites • 2 Mi to Disney
Just named a VRBO TOP 1% Property Listing in Orlando/Kissimmee. Hosted by a VRBO PREMIER HOST.
This is the big-family home that ends the bedroom negotiations: six of our nine bedrooms are king master suites, so every couple gets a king bed and a private bathroom. Add a private 120" screen cinema, a 600 sq ft lakefront summer kitchen, and a 45-foot south-facing pool with its own children's splash pool — all inside the gated Formosa Gardens Estates, 2 miles (about 6 minutes) from the Walt Disney World entrance.
WHY GROUPS CHOOSE OUR VILLA
SIX KING MASTER SUITES — Every couple sleeps in a king with a private bath. Seven bathrooms total means no morning queues.
PRIVATE CINEMA — A 120" screen with luxury Italian leather recliners up front, a plush couch behind, and a bean bag for the little ones.
COVERED CABANA AND 600 SQ FT SUMMER KITCHEN — Gas grill, breakfast bar, pool table, and two dining tables seating 16, all overlooking Star Lake.
RESORT POOL DECK — 45-foot south-facing pool and jetted jacuzzi (optional heating for both), children's splash pool, a putting green, a dedicated pool bathroom with walk-in shower, and sun loungers for everyone.
ROOM TO SPREAD OUT — About 4,000 square feet, two separate living areas, and smart TVs throughout, with 65" to 70" screens in most bedrooms.
2 MILES TO DISNEY — The closest prestigious community to the parks.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (SLEEPS UP TO 20)
Master Suite: King with walk-in closet, Roman tub, and private pool access. Bedrooms 2 through 6: King. Bedroom 7: Queen. Bedrooms 8 and 9: two Twins each. Plus a fold-out double bed, best suited for two children or two smaller adults.
THE HOME Recently remodeled and updated inside and out — all new appliances, luxury mattresses, bedding, and linens throughout. Start the morning with coffee on the open-sided lanai as the breeze comes off Star Lake, then cook for the whole crew in a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and a triple breakfast bar; the dining table seats 10 more. Two separate living areas give teenagers, grandparents, and everyone in between their own space to land.
Afternoons belong to the pool deck: swim the 45-foot pool, soak in the jacuzzi, and watch the little ones in the splash pool from the shade — the dedicated pool bathroom keeps wet footprints outside. As the sun drops, fire up the gas grill in the summer kitchen and eat lakeside at tables for 16, then rack up a game of pool under the cabana while the kids take on the putting green — or bring everyone together for a film on the 120" screen, stretched out in Italian leather recliners.
At the end of the night, retreat to the grand master suite with its Roman tub and private pool access, while the rest of the group spreads out across five more king suites, a queen room, and two twin rooms — most with their own 65" to 70" smart TV.
THE LOCATION World-renowned as the closest prestigious community to Disney: the Walt Disney World Resort entrance is 2 miles from your door — Animal Kingdom to Hollywood Studios, two water parks, and Disney Springs. Universal Studios Florida, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, SeaWorld Orlando, and Discovery Cove are about 16 miles up the road. Downtown Orlando's Church Street restaurants, nightlife, and the Amway Center sit 30 miles away, with Kissimmee Lakefront Park (18 miles), kayaking at Shingle Creek Regional Park (12 miles), and Fun Spot America (15 minutes) for days off from the parks. Orlando International Airport is about 24 miles.
GOOD TO KNOW Pool and spa heating available as an optional add-on. In-unit laundry, air conditioning, free WiFi, and five free parking spaces. Baby gear available — just tell us what you need when you book. Pickleball fans: indoor courts are about 5 minutes away in the nearby shopping center. Quiet gated community on one of Formosa Boulevard's largest lots. We recently refreshed the pool deck (the former slide has been retired) — new photos coming shortly.

Overall a very good experience. Owner was very accomodating and made sure we were happy and satisfied with the rental. Home was very clean and spacious. Worked very well for our annual golf trip. I would recommend the pool and hot tub heating for ful enjoyment of the amenities.
Plenty of beautiful space and comfy beds. Barry is a wonderful host--offered food and to-do ideas during our stay and excellent communication. When the hot tub wasn't "hot", sent his property manager, Jennifer, over right away. Answered any and all questions about the house functions (electronics and alarms). Would stay again and bring more family!
The house was set up perfectly to handle our group of twelve both on the patio or inside the house. The kitchen had every item we needed, including two full size refrigerators. The heated pool was great even though it was chilly during our January vacation. We can't wait to come back.
We had the BEST family vacation here! There were 18 of us staying in the home and we had plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax and be comfortable. The house was absolutely spotless and beautifully maintained, it felt welcoming the minute we walked in! The yard and pool were a huge hit! The kids swam nonstop and the adults loved relaxing by the fire pit while taking in the lake views. The big theater room was another favorite! The location was ideal, close to the parks but still very peaceful and quiet! And Barry, our host, was incredible! His communication was amazing from start to finish and he made everything so easy!!!This home truly made our trip unforgettable. We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
We usually stay in a Disney property but couldn't find a place large enough to accommodate our group of 14 and ended up having an awesome stay at this comfortable home to celebrate my mom's birthday. The house was well suited for our group ranging in ages 4-70. We were so happy with the comfortable beds, the awesome game room/ theater, the pool, the hot tub and and the well stocked kitchen that had everything we needed. The location was perfect and close to the parks and we all felt like we had plenty of space to spread out for time away when needed. The host was super responsive and communication was A would definitely stay again and would certainly recommend!
The house was as advertised. Plenty of room for 5 adult males on a business trip. Kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were comfortable and we all had our own ensuite bathroom. I will stay there again if business brings me back to Orlando
My family had a brilliant stay. The property was wonderful and perfect location for quick journeys to all parks!
Barry was an exceptional host and couldn’t do enough to make sure our stay was as good as it could be. Would thoroughly recommend!
We stayed here over the Christmas holiday. It was perfect! The house is very spacious with very nice amenities, and it was very clean. Communication with owner and property manager was very proactive and easy. Would definitely recommend staying to anyone with a large group!!
This property was one of the best rentals I have ever stayed in. The listing and photos were extremely accurate and so clean. The property owner was very responsive and helped with any questions we had. Will definitely be staying here again next year. We loved every minute of this beautiful home. Thank you for sharing!
All of our party really enjoyed their stay! We had excellent communication with management before, during, and after. The house was spacious for the 9 adults and 8 teenagers to spread out and relax. Plenty of bathrooms for the cheerleaders to get ready ready! Everyone enjoyed the pool and patio. We would definitely recommend and stay again!
Spacious and very comfortable house, perfect for spending a few days with family. It’s fully equipped, even if you’re traveling with a baby, as it has all the necessary amenities. The location is ideal, very close to the Orlando parks, making it even more convenient. Communication with the owners was excellent—always attentive and helpful. Definitely a highly recommended house, and we would absolutely stay here again. Five well-deserved stars!
This property is stunning! The location was perfect and the host was very accommodating. We spent four nights there with three generations of our family and friends before our daughter’s wedding and we enjoyed every minute we were there. My 26 year old son was able to fish right from the back yard and caught several large mouth Bass before releasing then back into the pond. The pool was amazing, the house is extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly want.
For large families or group of friends this is definitely the perfect option.
Property was as listed.
Very comfortable for our group of 14.
Pool was a little cool the 1st 2 days.
Maybe if the pool heater was started earlier on day 1, the 2nd day might have been better.
Overall good location and lots of activities at the house to keep all ages busy.
The owner was very attentive to our needs and questions.
Thanks for sharing your home!
The house suited our needs perfectly and had everything we needed and more! We heartily recommend staying here. The casita provided excellent private and separate accommodations for our aunt who is not accustomed to being in a house noisy with kiddie activity. If the weather had been warmer we would have loved using the pool and hot tub. The owner called to be certain that all was in order and was easily available when we had a question. What you see online is what you get - clean and inviting.
This villa can be summed up in one word- Wow! Everything about the property was fabulous- from the welcome basket on arrival to the most luxurious linens in the bedrooms to the stunning view from the outdoor seating.
Barry was also amazing from the start of the booking process to the end of the holiday and was quick to respond to any questions we had. A big thank you also to Jen for also being on hand.
We cannot recommend this beautiful villa enough. It definitely added that little bit extra magic to our family holiday.
AMAZING stay! I cannot express enough gratitude to the owner, Barry, for everything he did to help us enjoy a relaxing, seamless, and truly magical Christmas. This property is exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top‑tier vacation experience.I have rented through VRBO at least 30 times over the past 15 years, and this was by far my best experience yet. There were many reasons for that, but the owner’s personal involvement and commitment to ensuring we were well taken care of truly stood out. This was a last‑minute booking with guests already en route, and the owner was incredibly helpful, understanding, and proactive throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful Christmas stay.The home itself is beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. From the expansive outdoor entertainment and pool area to the impressive home theatre room, every space exceeded our expectations. My entire family was amazed by the interior, but with the beautiful weather and such a fantastic outdoor setup, we found ourselves spending most of our time outside. Our nightly Christmas movie marathons in the theatre room were a highlight and created memories we’ll never forget.
Very nice security gated neighborhood easily within minutes of the Disney theme parks. Convenient grocery, restaurants and drugstores. The only downside is we had filled our days with park activities . Upon arrival Barry asked us to make some time to enjoy the house. We watched two football games in the theater and swam late each night. Tremendous amount of private spaces to remote work if needed. We will not have to look for a home to rent at Disney any longer , we found it and are all checking dates for next year.
I highly recommend this home for your next vacation to Orlando. It was stunning, very clean and spacious. Updated throughout. There was plenty of room for everyone.
We loved spending time in the heated pool and hotub while enjoying the beautiful view of the pond.
The beds were so comfy with quality linens.
The house is fully stocked with everything we needed. The movie room is amazing too!
The home is located in a safe gated community. A very easy 10-15min drive to Disney parks.
Barry was very easy to get in contact with.
This home is one of the best places that I have ever rented. I hope to stay again if I return to Orlando.
Thank you Barry!
Our family plans a yearly Thanksgiving week getaway and this home, by far, was the best one in Florida. Barry, the owner, is a pleasure to deal with. Every question we had was answered immediately. He went above and beyond for us. As to the home itself, the kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms are beautiful with super comfortable beds (the high end linens are definitely a plus), the bathrooms are roomy, the theater has an amazing large screen with soft and luxurious seating (all football games were watched there), the pool area was one of my favorites (after cooking during the day, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind), the laundry room was perfect for such a large group as the extra dryer came in very handy. I cannot say enough good things about this home and its owner, Barry. Next FL Thanksgiving will be here again.
We were there for a cheer competition. Four couples and two teens until the last night when when our 4 cheerleaders joined us. This home has everything you could need or want. Fully equipped, best backyard. All beds super comfy. I have been renting homes in Orlando area for over ten years and this is the best. I wish I could have given more stars to communication. Any questions I sent before or during our stay were promptly answered by the home owner, Barry. Seriously replies were within minutes. I believe Barry honestly cares that his home is beyond expectation and he goes the extra mile to help with anything even if it just for advice. I have never stayed in the same place twice, mainly just to try different homes, but we plan to be back same time next year.
I simply cannot say enough positive things about this property as well as its owner and management.
This home is clean, beautiful, tastefully appointed, and clearly well cared for. The interior is decorated in a way that manages to feel both comfortable and upscale. The bed linens are so soft. All of us enjoyed the mattresses. The bath towels are perfect. The movie room is even better than the photos. Five downstairs bedrooms, four with ensuites was a wonderful touch for our several family members who do not handle stairs well. The kitchen had plenty of seasonings and extras that were wonderful additions to our stay.
The screened in pool with water slide was a hit for our entire family. The covered lanai boasts a large outdoor television, a pool table, a fantastic outdoor kitchen, a counter height fire pit dining table with chairs, and a large array of very comfortable seating. We spent most of our free time outside. There is also access to an actual back yard with space to play cornhole or whatever else you might desire.
The real piece that makes this property stand out, however, is its owner and management. Barry, the homeowner, is the single best host I have ever dealt with for a vacation rental. He and Jenn, the property manager, are a great team and both clearly care about their property and renters. Barry reached out on a regular basis to make sure we had everything we needed.
You absolutely cannot go wrong by renting this home!
