Brightwater Villa

Pool area and condition + heating to the pool was excellent. The home provided everything that was needed as well as a good games area in the garage. Lovely property and location was perfect. Gated area provided good security and the friendliness of neighbouring locals was reassuring. The upkeep of Lake Berkley was excellent, clean and extremely well maintained with interesting wild life. Additionally the locality of Lake Berkley is close to all restaurants and super markets as well as theme parks.

Beautiful home, wonderful location!

This private, gated vacation home is beautiful inside and out! It is close to the Disney Parks, Universal, and Walmart for groceries, etc. It's also very spacious and has many amenities including a game room. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well. The owners are very accommodating and professional. Overall a wonderful stay and we'll definitely stay again! Highly recommend!

Great location to Disney

We enjoyed our stay in this home. House was very large and accommodating for a group to venture to the parks in Orlando. One small complaint in that there wasn’t any hand soap or any toilet paper in the house. Other than that would recommend this to anyone.

Had a wonderful Christmas holiday- thank you!

4 of us had a wonderful time over Christmas this year. We found the villa to be lovely, homely, welcoming and well appointed for us all, and the personal touch of Christmas card and chocolates was much appreciated. The management company were also great coming out the same day whenever we had questions about the pool and hot tub. We can't wait to return at some point in the near future. Thanks, Alex and Laura

Perfect place for a perfect week in Florida

Our extended family of 8 people enjoyed the Brightwater Villa and its wildlife and lake setting. We took advantage of the hot tub and pool, and enjoyed access to a full kitchen, 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths! My daughter freaked out with joy in the Princess room. Every day we went to a Disney park and we didn't find the 20-minute commute to be an issue at all. My parents were able to view a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral and catch some Spring Training action. The management was friendly and responsive, as was Dave! Thank you for the great memories!

Great Pool & Game Room & Fun Time at BrightWater!

Very much enjoyed the pool and Game Room! My family is very into the World Cup and they have a nice TV to watch the games. Actually there was a TV in every bed room. The owners were very easy to deal with and offered a late check out at no additional cost. That is so helpful when your flight leaves later and it basically gave us another day to float in the pool. Clean-up was very easy! Just pull off bed linens and towels for their cleaning crew. Other places you have to do Way More! This was easy and quick. We were only a family of 4, but the house is larger than it appears. The upstairs has 4 bedrooms (another one with a private bathroom) and a lounging area -- great for teens or kids to play. I'd bring friends next time, since there is so much private space for all. Thanks again for sharing your home with us! Kelli, John, Emmet and Beckett Philadelphia

Large house was perfect for spreading out.

We booked the house to go to Disney. It was absolutely wonderful to come home and spread out at night. The drive was smooth and around 25 minutes. In the mornings, the kids could sleep in and we headed to the park around 10. We didn't heat the pool because we weren't going to be here but changed our mind last minute to stay Friday. The owner called, after I send an email, and was nice and accommodating. My son caught a fish from the backyard with one of the garage poles. We took Friday as a sleep in morning and it was the association landscape day so they were cutting hedges and mowing grass at 8:15, but we also know this stuff has to be done! (not sure if it's always Fridays as you make your plans.) Walmart is about a mile away and so convenient to grab any last minute items or morning donuts. The store has a huge Disney section if you want to buy t-shirts, lanyards or a special coffee mug! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again when we visit the Orlando area.

House is great. But it could be better

The house is great! But it feels abandoned. Luckily there is a Walmart 5 minutes from the house because you need to buy a lot. Only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom (no extras) no soap, not cleaning supplies. The high chair was dirty and the head of the pool sticks were broken. This house has so much potential but it needs some TLC. The net by the pool was ripped and I was always afraid some bug may come in. It has a beautiful view of the lake. And the pool is small but perfect. My sister and father couldn't sleep because they said the mattress were very uncomfortable. Mine was fine. The house has so much potential it just needs a little love. Get ready to buy a lot of supplies at Walmart. Overall we had a great time. I just think they could leave more supplies (like soap, dish washer, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc) and it needs more love. The location is great. 25 minutes to the parks. It's a house that you can love, it just needs a little TLC.. and new mattresses.

Second Time Around

This was our second time renting this property. It is exactly as described in the writeup. Dave responded immediately to my rental request and to any other emails I sent him before and after the trip. My deposit was returned the day after we got back from vacation. The manager visited us on the first day to see how things were going. He was attentive and quick to respond when we contacted him. We were two families vacationing together. The kids used the game tables in the garage daily and everyone had their own space to wind down and sleep. We did visit some of the parks while we were there. The villa is conveniently located to all of the parks. The commute to Universal was around 20-25 minutes. Magic Kingdom around 15. It was so hot while we were there that we decided to return mid afternoon for a swim and dinner and then go back to the park later in the evening for the fireworks. In addition, we visited friends in New Smyrna, which was about an hour and twenty minutes away. This villa is a great base for your Orlando vacation. It is very nice to get away from the crowds and sit by the pool after a day at the park. I will definitely recommend this villa to friends heading down to Orlando! Thank you Dave and Sue!

Get away trip

My husband, myself two sisters and their husbands all stayed for a week. We had a very good time. The home was comfortable , but could use some updating and I would not say the cleaning crew was the best. We were surprised that there were no cleaning products available for us to use, not even windex. We really were not prepared to buy those supplies for our stay and then have to leave them there as we were flying. But all in all we enjoyed our stay very much.Thank you 😊

Relaxing, clean home, private pool, great rate

Just as described. Loved to relax by the pool, so many birds come to visit. Only suggestions, bring some salt, pepper, shampoo, pool toys and bottled water. The water in Florida tastes TERRIBLE, but that is the whole state. The bed next to the pool was a little hard, mind you, we sleep on a waterbed, but we slept well on it, even though it was firm. Other beds upstairs felt softer, but we didn't want to have to use the stairs. House was very clean, owners friendly, would definitely recommend renting here. Living room furniture, so comfortable to watch TV. Towels thick and snow white. One more suggestion. The washer is VERY deep, if you use the two pickle ball ? rackets in the garage as tongs, you can get your clothes out of the bottom, OR we discovered a step stool in the garage on our last day. We were laughing as we had to work together to retrieve the laundry. This place is great!!!

Dangerous and unsafe run

The pool and hot tub have not been maintained at all. There was no chlorine or bromine in either. The owners response was it's ok. A girl recently died in Florida because the pool she was in was growing dangerous bacteria because it was not treated to a high enough standard. The pool and hot tub here show none. The property manager agreed to a refund. We left and now a month later they are disputing the refund.
