DESCRIPTION
'Still
Waters', our beautiful, spacious lakefront villa is a perfect vacation choice if you
appreciate peace and tranquillity in luxurious surroundings, yet want the convenience of being as close as
possible to the Orlando Theme Parks, shopping & Golf Courses. The view of the
lake from the south-facing pool, spa and deck is incomparable .... when you sit outside sipping a cool
drink in the evening, watching the sun go down and then seeing the moon rise
over the lake,
you will find it hard to believe that you are a mere 4 miles from the main
gates of Disney and the lively Highway 192. With over 2600 sq ft of living
space, this is one of the largest 4 bedroom
vacation homes you can rent in the area (most other 4 bedroom villas are only
1700-1900 sq feet) - so there is ample
room for two couples or families to holiday together in comfort - especially as
the two huge King Master Suites have identical bathroom facilities.
Location
Sunset
Lakes is a small, upscale gated community and is one of the closest to Orlando's
main attractions. It is a beautifully maintained development of detached pool homes surrounding
two natural lakes, which attract many varieties of fish and wildlife. Unlike
at some of the villa communities, there is no new building work to disturb your
relaxation.
Our luxurious home is literally minutes away from many Golf Courses, restaurants and
supermarkets. Getting to and from the Theme Parks is easy with this ideal
location. You really can visit the parks in the morning, spend the afternoons
relaxing by your own private pool and return to the parks in minutes.
Within the community there is a communal pool and children’s play area, and if
you bring your rods (or buy cheaply in the local Wal-Mart!), you may fish in the well-stocked lake. Conservation
land adjoins the development creating a natural habitat for the wildlife of
Florida. You may spot cranes, bald eagles, ducks, buzzards, racoons &
armadillos, plus many other small song birds.
Orlando International Airport
can be reached in about 30 minutes, Sanford Airport in about one hour.
Sunset Lakes is within a few minutes drive of local amenities (supermarket,
24 hr pharmacy, bank and lots of restaurants).
The Atlantic beaches, the Kennedy Space Center and the Gulf of Mexico are approx. 1 hour's
drive.
Universal Studios, Sea World and Wet 'n Wild are around 20 minutes away, as are
the two fantastic shopping malls, Mall Millenia and Florida Mall.
Walt Disney World is only 4 miles!
There are numerous Pay & Play Golf Courses within a very short drive.
