Start your morning with a hot cup of coffee on the open-sided lanai as you catch the fresh breeze of Star Lake. Take a dip in your 45-foot private pool then relax in the jetted jacuzzi as you keep an eye on the youngsters enjoying the splash pool and slide. Before heading inside, use the pool bathroom with a walk-in shower to save wet footprints from trailing over the pristine interior.

Whip up breakfast for the group in your fully equipped kitchen, outfitted with sleek appliances, granite countertops, aesthetic hardwood flooring and up-to-date cabinetry. Eat your fill at the triple breakfast bar or around the elegant dining room table that seats 10.

Following a day of adventure at Disney Resorts, prepare dinner and cocktails for the group in your gourmet outdoor kitchen featuring a gas grill, breakfast bar, and 2 dining tables with seating for 16. Unwind with a good book on the private terrace and admire the picturesque views off Star Lake while the kids play a competitive game of billiards in the game room. Finish the night together with a film in your custom designed, private cinema providing comfortable seating for 16 in front of the 120" screen.

As your eyes begin to grow heavy, retreat to your grand master suite boasting a king bed, walk-in closet, private pool access, and a large en-suite bathroom with a Roman tub. When the others are ready to turn in, they can enjoy nights of peaceful sleep in the additional 5 king beds, 1 queen, and 4 twins.

Here are some of them below:

A great vacation home, just outside Disney World.
5* * * * *
We were at this home for a week with our kids and grandkids (8 adults and 7 children). It worked perfectly for us. Great pool and spa and "theater room" with free Netflix all got heavy use when we were there, and all Disney World attractions are literally 10 minutes away. The pool enclosure works particularly well because there is a large, shaded outdoor "room" where the adults could sit and watch the kids in the pool. The house is on a small lake in a very safe neighborhood and pretty setting. We found the owners to be extraordinarily responsive and helpful with our questions. We have stayed at similar vacation properties in Florida in the past and rate this one very highly.

BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY - BIRTHDAY VILLA
5* * * * *
I chose to rent this beautiful villa for my 50th Birthday Celebrations, it did not disappoint. I can go as far as to say, it was certainly the best villa we have ever stayed in. It was much larger than we thought, we had plenty of space for everyone, the kids loved the Movie Room and the Pool. We loved chilling out in the huge Summer kitchen. It was very clean and superbly appointed. I could not have wished for more.

FANTASTIC LOCATION - FANTASTIC PROPERTY
5* * * * *
Our family had the most fantastic stay in this property. The location really is the very best, only a few minutes to Disney and only a few minutes to some great restaurants, catering for all tastes and prices. If you prefer to eat at home, you are spoilt by the variety of Supermarkets to choose from, these are also, only minutes away. The Property is huge and very well maintained it has everything you can imagine and more. The pool area is spectacular and very private overlooking a gorgeous lake. The whole family loved our experience in Formosa Gardens, we would thoroughly recommend this property and can't wait for our return next year.

SIMPLY THE BEST
5* * * * *
We choose this Villa for our family reunion in July, mainly because it had 9 large bedrooms, a huge outside pool and deck area, a cinema and the furnishings looked beautiful. Upon arrival it did not disappoint, in fact the photos did not do it justice, it really is the best Villa we have ever stayed in. Our family of 16, ranges from 8 years old to 80 years old, yet everyone had the most fantastic time, we spent the first week in the theme parks and thankfully chose to relax for the second week in the villa, we only wish we could have extended our stay. It is so well equipped and spotlessly clean, it is exactly as described and I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. The bonus is it is so close to Disney and just around the corner from some excellent restaurants and supermarkets. Without doubt one of the best locations we have ever stayed in.

PERFECT VACATION
5* * * * *
This house was absolutely perfect for our stay earlier this year. It was very clean and tidy for our arrival and the furnishing were exactly to our taste. The weather was fabulous for the entirety of our stay, we probably used the outside Summer Kitchen and pool more than any other area , the kids loved the slide, everything about this outdoor area with such a large pool made the stay extra special. The house had all the amenities as described and is in a great location, only minutes from some lovely restaurants. Overall, we would be more than happy to return to this property again and highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing Vacation!
Barry has a beautiful home in Formosa Gardens in a great location. This home with its many bedrooms with luxurious bedding and very comfortable beds served our family of 14 more than adequately. The perks of this house especially the theatre room and outdoor amenities would never disappoint anyone. The pool area was our major gathering place all the time! The location provides easy shopping and food alternatives and has excellent Uber services. Barry and the property manager will respond to anything you need. We miss the hot tub already!

Stunning home! A wonderful place to stay
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!

What a great find!
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.

About the host

Hosted by Barry Levinson

Host profile image
Katrina and I have been coming to Orlando even before we started our family because there is just something magical about this place! Once we had kids, we loved coming with both of our extended families. Not only was Orlando a great place to go see Mickey, but there were so many other fun things to do, including spending a day at the beaches, Universal Studios, the food and just relaxing in the area. We also found Orlando to be a great base of operations to enjoy many of the wonders within an hour from Orlando like Kennedy Space Center, beautiful beaches on both sides of the coast and lots of natural attractions.

Why they chose this property

In the past, we never had a enough room for our extended families and friends to all stay in one place together. So, when we saw Villa Formosa was for sale last year, we knew we had to have it. Although we loved the old look of the property, we felt it was time for a complete makeover. And that's just what we did! Starting with the flooring, we replaced it all with deep rich carpets and very modern plank flooring. We wanted the home to have a warm and comfortable look, so we replaced 9 bedrooms of furniture and redid all of the bathrooms. We redecorated the home to make it clean, comfortable and inviting, but not pretentious! This is a place that we spend quite a bit of our own time in, so we spared no expense to make this a showplace that you will be pleased and proud to bring family friends to.

What makes this property unique

One of the great features of this property is that you can spend all day at the resort pool and cabana area and you will truly feel that you have spent a day in paradise. We love making half-day trips to Disney and then popping back home in 10 minutes to have a wonderful cookout by the pool where we challenge each other to a round of put put. Our friends and their kids love to catch fish in the lake behind our home. So there is fun for everyone. If you love playing billiards like we do, you will have great fun playing a game of pool on our beautifully recovered pool table.

You are around 10 minutes from Disney, yet at home, you are on a beautiful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. It's a unique place to unwind and make beautiful memories with those closest to you!
