Why should I choose these 2 villas and not a hotel?

The locations are incredible. Oak Island Cove is just 3 miles from Disney Main Gate, 5 minutes from I4, and 30 minutes from Orlando International Airport. It is one of the closest communities to Disney. Pinewood County Estate is 14 minutes from Disney, 5 minutes from Champions Gate PGA or Reunion golf courses.


Hotels in the Disney area can be very expensive; in fact you will probably pay the same price for one person as you would for the entire home up to 14 people! In addition you are not just in one room, you have individual lounge, dining area, kitchen, bedrooms. If you wish to meet with other guests you've also got all the resort amenities to share. A perfect solution for all your holiday needs.

Is the pool home that I'm viewing on your website the one I will actually get?

Yes, what you see is what you get. We are unlike regular commercial agencies that can place you anywhere they see fit. The owner wants you to be happy with your vacation rental home before you book. The Virtual Tour lets you see in advance exactly what you are renting by looking inside each room.

Is this a time share offer?

Absolutely not. The homes shown on this website are independently owned. You are not in any way required to sit through a presentation. Instead, you just sit back and enjoy your vacation rental home without any outside interference.

What is required to make a reservation?

When you locate the house of your choice, you can book on-line directly or email to the owner.

When do we pay?

When you book, you will be required to pay a booking deposit of $300 with the balance payable 45 days before arrival.

When are check-in & check-out time?

Ordinarily your home will be available for Check-in at 4:00 pm. Your Check-out Time is 10:30 am on your departure date. A vacation home requires more time to clean than a hotel room does, so please help prepare for our next guest by checking out on time.

Is there shopping nearby?

Yes, the Formosa Gardens Mall area has a grocery store, 24 hour Walgreen's drug store and supermarket.
