This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 6. Consisting of three adults and three children between the ages of 6-8. The home layout was perfect, the decor was beautiful, the home was equipped with everything you could possibly need; dishes, starter supplies, linens, towels, beach towels, etc. We were all impressed with the beauty of the home, the location, and wonderful gated community that provided a sense of security. The home offers everything you need for a vacation to Florida and is conveniently located near all of the theme parks. Definitely a 10 star home and hosts!!! We hope to have the opportunity to rent this home in the future when we return to Florida.
Fun vacation home marize your overall impression of the property
It looked exactly like the pictures online! Spotless. Which is always appreciated. The main bedroom had an extremely comfortable bed. And the pool was so nice every morning. There were play toys and lounge chairs. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe. The only issue I could find was no water pressure in the showers. Other than that it was a wonderful vacation home.
The property is superb, finished to an exceptional standard and probably the best accommodation we have stayed in in Florida. Lynn is a great host and I couldn’t recommended this villa highly enough.

Perfect location for our visits to Lego Land Downtown Disney . Beautiful home and very clean . Will be back !
We enjoyed our stay in this home - it was exactly as billed. Great heated pool and excellent location in Southern Dunes (top notch golf course). We would recommend this property to anyone visiting central FL, Disney World, etc and would book this home again.

A lovely homely villa with great style
The villa is at the Southern Dunes Resort which is gated and adds a sense of security which meant that we had a lovely relaxing time.
The bed is very comfortable and the shower is the best we have had in the USA.
There is a nice pool area which is sunny from about 10.00 all day.
Will definitely stay again.
Very modern property, had a brilliant stay, decorated to a high standard. Pool exceptionally clean with an outside fridge which was very useful! Overall would definitely recommend and would like to return.

Wonderful house
Perfect Location for trips to Orlando - gated community- everything you need just outside the community ( Walmart, Burger King, DQ, Checkers,...) - super nice owners! Great Pool! Highly recommanded!
We stayed here with our two kids and my parents and we can’t say enough good things about it. Upon our arrival we immediately felt at home. The Villa was spotless and beautiful. The neighbourhood was quiet and safe. Our girls loved the pool and we loved the memories we made with them.
A hitten gem. Very nice house with lovely furniture, beds and atmosphere. We will definitely look for it if we come back to Florida.

Well maintained and Great Vacation Home
We have been vacationing together with my sister for about 20 years starting in the Panhandle, then Clermont, to Springhill, to Hudson, last two years in Lake Jovita and this year Haines City. Your home by far was the cleanest of any home we have rented. Your home had everything we needed. We liked the updated TV's, updated bathrooms, and much more.
Would recommend to anyone wanting to vacation in this area.

Felt like home❤️
We took our daughter and son in law and our 3 grandsons to Disney for a 10 day stay! The house felt like Home and the owners were always a message away! Very clean and spot on with the directions of the villa!! We will be looking to go back in a few years hoping we can stay here again!
Thanks for a wonderful place to make memories!!

Stunning villa with everything you need in a home. Love the neighbourhood, the heated pool was perfect and we loved it here. Lynn was amazing from start to finish and assisted with everything quickly and efficiently. The only bad thing was leaving it!!! Thanks Lynn and Tom

Everything you need
We enjoyed a very nice stay at this very well appointed bungalow condo. It comes with everything you need in a VERY QUIET and secure gated community. The fully equipped kitchen has all you'd need and there is plenty of space in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath unit. The outdoor patio deck is huge and the pool is kept at a nice, cooling temperature. The location is great - close to grocery stores and amenities and an easy drive into Orlando or destinations south. This villa is highly recommended and I would stay here again should the opportunity arise.

An amazing place I WILL BE BOOKING AGAIN!
The pictures are awesome and that is what sold me on renting this property. The "amazing" part is when you get there and realize it's even more beautiful than you could envision. My family of 6 stayed there with out any problems as far as space or privacy. This 3 bedroom "retreat" is something I am going to love to spoil myself with on a regular basis. This place is so inviting with all the convinces in the house and around the area, I definitely felt like I was home while staying there for the week. It was very clean, organized, well maintained and relaxing. The pool offered tranquility and the area offered peace,the master bedrooms tempopedic mattress offered the best sleep I have ever had. Can't wait to book this again actually...maybe for 2 weeks this time! Thank you for allowing us into your home...we will be back!
Wow what a holiday villa. We have been coming to Florida for over 30 years and this villa has been the best we have stayed in by far. The villa is very clean, tidy and is situated in a great location with a great community feel. It has everything you might need during your stay; it’s a home from home. We would most definitely recommend it to anyone and will be looking to rebook again.
A total gem! There is a Walmart right outside the gates and plenty of food options nearby. The villa is completely updated and tastefully decorated. The king bed was super comfortable as was the oversized sectional in the living room. The outdoor loungers were also quite comfortable. Lynn was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We enjoyed our days by the pool and wish to return in the near future! The only suggestion I would make would be to have a few bare essentials on hand or at very least inform renters that they will have to supply most everything. We did not have soap in the bathroom upon arrival and there was only salt, pepper and a small amount of olive oil in the kitchen cabinets.
This was truly a "home away from home". The Villa Henderson is completely equipped with everything you would ever need and then some. We had one small issue upon arrival and I contacted the owner. The owner responded immediately and the issue was resolved ASAP. This was nicest home we have ever stayed at in Florida. The Villa is exactly as shown in the photos. We would love to stay here again and we would highly recommend this Villa!

Terrific home. Owners have done a great job updating this home. We appreciated the provided kitchen dishes, appliances, cutlery etc. We hope this property is available on our next trip to Southern Dunes.
This villa is a home from home, the new kitchen has lots of working space and storage.We have stayed at southern dunes since 2006 and this home was exceptionable from the furnishings to the owners Lynn & Tom. Thanks again . Ron & Sandra. Canada
My Family and I had a wonderful time during our stay at this WONDERFUL Home Away from Home. The house had everything you need and even more. We enjoyed coming back here as we ventured into the Florida Hot sun. The house was very clean and updated. We will definitely be staying here again. Thanks for allowing us to have a wonderful home away from home because this truly was the best house we have stayed at in the Florida area.
