This home was the cleanest and most well appointed rental we have ever stayed at. Appliances were modern and the one floor lay out suited us perfectly. We arranged for the pool to be heated and it was a nice treat to use at the end of our day in the parks. Communications with the owners were very good. Will definitely rent again.
The house was everything that was advertised.Great location to go to the parks and shop at the Outlet malls.had a couple minor issues, but the host handled them promptly. Family had a great time and looking forward to booking the Villa again in 2025
Meeting family for a week in Orlando. Beds were comfortable but my granddaughter loved the recliners on the couch so much she slept there. Had some problems with the Roku TV, would have preferred a cable service. Some of the dishes in the kitchen had not been well cleaned. Pots and pans had seen better days. Be sure to bring hand soap, dish soap, laundry supplies, extra toilet paper (only one roll per bathroom) and kleenix. Air hockey, my granddaughter's favorite, did not have a designated plug in and had to unplug the dryer and use an extension cord. Property manager came out twice to assist us. This was my first experience with VRBO and we will use again. We liked it well enough to do it again.
My 95 year old dad rented this beautiful villa and all his children took a week or two to spend with him. We never had over 8 guests in the home and the accommodations are great for up to 8 guests.
My dad loved the recliner couch chair for reading and watching the pool activity.
We spent a lot of time cooking and using the kitchen as we had extended stays. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need for meal prep and dining.
Nice heated pool at the clubhouse too!
There are now plenty of towels and everything was in great working condition. (They fixed the leaky kitchen faucet as soon as we called!) Wonderful hosts. Would recommend this property but wish I could keep it a secret so we could return each year!!!
Perfect place to stay while visiting Disney. House was clean. Well stocked and in a great area. Short drive to the parks. We also caught some nice bass there. Host was very helpful. We will be back. Highly recommended
This house was an absolute nightmare. We checked in after traveling for 2 days. My daughter wanted to shower, so she did. As she was showering I started to see bugs. Little small black flea like bugs. I thought at first they were an ant but they were small and jumped like a flea. At first I only saw a couple in the kitchen. Then after I was in the house for a bit I started noticing more. I was in the bedroom and they were on the bed. Huge infestation of them in the game room and the bedroom at the front of the house. As my daughter was showering she saw bugs in the bathroom. We contacted property manager we checked in on a Saturday the property manager said he could have someone spray Monday. This was not acceptable for us so we decided to leave. I contacted Vrbo, they couldn’t get ahold of owners because they are in the UK. I sent videos to Vrbo the owners said they had someone check and their were no bugs. However I have videos of them which I offered to send. They did refund us but only $700 of the $1100 that the property cost is which is frustrating they said because we used the bathroom and showered that we had to pay the cleaning fee. This was frustrating especially since the property was not really cleaned before we got their. The furniture is old and very uncomfortable and out dated. The sliding glass door to the outside is old and hard to move and was rotting out of the frame. I would not recommend staying at this property.
We really enjoyed our stay at Ian and Julie's house! The house was exactly as described and was a perfect fit for our family. Julie was really a great host, very responive and super helpful. The house has everything you need and is located in a gated community that is close to everything. We visit Florida every year and will definitely stay here again if available. Thank you Ian and Julie!

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Guarded community not so guarded
A shooting next door at 2:00 am 5 police cars there at 4:30 am knock at door at 8:00 am by police crime scene tape around house police and forensics there till 10:30am also no cable tv had no local channels had to buy chrome cast to watch the super bowl showers in two bathrooms drained real slow also could use some upgrades on furniture and kitchen sink
Comfortable and spacious home with plenty of amenities located in a beautiful secure gated community. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the heated pool. We would recommend this place to anyone looking forward to future vacations in central Florida. Thanks!!!
Villa has everything you need, in a safe neighborhood (gated). Good location for Disneyworld - took us approx 25mins to drive to the parks when we'd worked out how to avoid half the traffic on the 192 (head west on Oren Brown); probably quicker if you use Osceola Parkway toll road. Universal would be a bit longer.
V comfortable villa, if looking a bit tired in places, but nothing to spoil the enjoyment at all.
Pool was very refreshing in the August heat
All in all, exactly what we were after for a Disney World- based holiday
From booking to questions asked about property to checking in and the whole stay , Julie was great about getting back to us in a quick fashion. Their home is a beautiful home, very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very close to everything and a safe place to get out and walk. Thank you much for an enjoyable vacation.
The house was perfect for the amount of people we had together (8) in total. It was accommodating. The only issues we did have was the alarm for the patio door malfunctioned one day and wouldn’t stop ringing, but once we got in touch with the management they fixed it right away. Otherwise our stay was very pleasant. Lovely home.
The house is nice. I was disappointed that there weren't many supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent and trash bags. We also had 2 leaky toilets & a leaky dishwasher. We called the management company about the one toilet the first day we were there. They were very quick to respond. We didn't discover the leaking dishwasher until 2 days before we left. The following day was Thanksgiving so understandably that didn't get fixed while we were there. The pool was clean & it was well worth it to pay extra for the heated pool in November!
In the property description it says luxury. I wouldn’t go that far. It was nice and clean. It wasn’t a bad stay but would definitely suggest somethings they could change. In the master bed room the dresser drawers were all loose and basically fell out when pulled out to put the clothes in, also I the first room with the twin beds. Im not 100% sure about the second kids room or the queen bed room as my niece and brother used those. The kitchen light over the dining room table only one light bulb worked. The stove needs replacing one burner was broken and the other big one was seriously lopsided. Like I said this stuff was minor but should be addressed. If you are looking for the four Sean’s tour of luxury this is not it. But a good comfortable stay. If they had a bbq grill it would have been awesome. Do beware if you are staying a week bring toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and dish soap or stuff for dish washer, as there was only one roll per bathroom, one roll paper towels and the only trash bags were in the cans. Maybe I missed this in the description but it would have been good to know. The converted garage was pretty cool for the kids and family. They did have a cooler with wheels which I thought was good if you were going to the beach or over to the lake for a bit. There was a stroller in the garage you could use. The baby crib in the room was a plus my son actually slept in it because the twin bed mattresses were awful (hard and uncomfortable) The tv’s were super small but hey at least they were there. I don’t watch tv so I just had to listen to the others complaining. The pool was a good added bonus! FYI you will have worms in the pool that you have to clean out yourself. Called management about it because I didn’t expect that and it would be a fee of someone came out or they only do it on certain days. Another not so big deal but would have been good to know. Entry was easy had a small problem with the alarm management company was a decent help with resolving it. All in all not a bad stay. Just stuff that you need to know that I either missed in the description and it wasn’t in the welcome book. The parks are close in proximity but with traffic will take you 30 minutes or so Depending on the time of day. If you are looking for luxury and the amenities that come with that, this isn’t it. A good quality stay this is your place. The pictures are pretty spot on (kinda)
We are really happy, the place was so quiet and feel so safe all the time,clean and very nice, thank you

About the host
Hosted by Ian and Julie Brazier
We spent many happy holidays in Florida which is why we bought our holiday home there. This is not a business but our home from home. After many years as a British Army family based all over the world it was one of our roots.
Lake Berkley was a real find with the landscaped grounds, peace and quiet and space not found in modern resorts where every inch counts.
Why they chose this property
Lake Berkley is a tucked away oasis. Once through the gate, the hustle and bustle of Kissimmee and Disney is forgotten. An intimate yet spacious resort, it was exactly what we wanted - convenience without the crowds and offering quiet relaxation at the end of a busy day.
What makes this property unique
Being close to the 192, the whole of Florida is easily accessible and there is so much more than the theme parks. We hope that you will relax and enjoy our home from home. We are lucky though to be supported by a responsive property manager who will always be ready to help if you have a problem.
