This stunning custom built Orlando villa is perfectly placed to be the perfect home for your magical vacation. It is situated on one of the most desirable lakefront lots in the prestigious gated and walled community of Formosa Gardens Estates. The community is 2 miles, being 5 minutes from the entrance to Walt Disney World ™ and less than a mile to the nearest golf course. Shops, restaurants, banks, and mini golf are all in close proximity.

Why compromise on your villa selection, Star Lake Manor has everything. At over 7200 sq ft of under cover space of which 5800 sq ft is air conditioned space, there is more than enough room for even the largest family gathering to have their own personal space. The non smoking and pet free villa accommodates 16 people and has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, large family room, large screen theater / cinema, kitchen, two dining areas, purpose built games room / 2nd living area, double garage and a large private sun deck and pool.

Star Lake Manor is one of the largest vacation homes in the Disney area; however, the increased interior space has not been gained by sacrificing outdoor space. The outdoor deck and pool area are an integral part of the vacation experience, with this in mind these areas were redesigned to be more than double their original size to keep them in proportion with the homes increased size, and not designed as an afterthought and made to fit the remaining space. Like nearly all homes in the area the deck is the full width of the house but unlike other homes it also extends over 40ft past the house to provide that much needed space for 16 guests to relax and sunbath all around the pool.

This magical Disney ™ vacation home comprises of a grand master suite, and three additional master bedrooms, all of which have a king bed, bathroom and state of the art large screen wall mounted high definition TV with cable and DVD player.

Two further bedrooms are twin rooms of which one has its own bathroom and the last bedroom being a twin bunk room, with the remaining twin room and the bunk bed room sharing a bathroom. Each of these bedrooms has a wall mounted TV with cable TV, DVD player, and games console.

Entertainment facilities in this villa are not surpassed by any other rental home in Orlando, with an amazing five large screen LCD televisions in addition to the theatre / cinema. The living area boasts an enormous state of the art 65” full high definition LCD TV connected to HD Cable and a HD-DVD player. All the master bedrooms have a minimum of a 42 inch LCD screen, with the grand master suite benefiting from a 52 inch screen.

If size is important to you then treat yourself to the latest movie in the theater which for the technically minded has a 103 inch screen, full high definition projector, Blu-ray/ HD-DVD player & dolby 7.1 surround sound. For the ultimate comfort and luxury the seating is out of this world with seven leather seats each having recline and foot support.

The games room is purpose built and is therefore not your usual garage make-over, and as such the room is light and airy which makes it a place you actually want to spend time in. The room is equipped with a full size 8ft pool table and 7ft air hockey table, in addition to a living area, TV and wet bar. Double doors lead out onto the amazing pool deck.

Sun deck. If the interior hasn’t given you the wow factor you require to spend your vacation at this villa then the pool and sun deck will truly amaze you! The screened sun deck is a massive 88ft x 42ft and has the best uninterrupted view of Star Lake where you will see plenty of birds fly over and paddle. As you would expect of a villa of this stature it has an ample supply of upholstered pool furniture, including sun loungers and reclining chairs. Even the most hardy sun worshipper will need to shade from the harsh Florida sun at some point during the day, for which we have provided an extensive shaded lanai which has large cooling fans and dining table and chairs. For your convenience within the screened area we have provided a covered summer kitchen containing an enormous gas BBQ, 2 burners, sink, refrigerator and ice maker. A bathroom and shower are located off the lanai.

Upstairs Balcony. As an additional bonus this villa has a covered upstairs rear balcony. The balcony is accessed from the grand master suite and from other parts of the house via the landing. The balcony is cooled by large fans and is an ideal spot due to its elevated position to have an outstanding aerial view of the lake and pool. Imagine having your early morning coffee, looking out over the lake covered in mist with the birds singing. At night the balcony is also an ideal spot to view the magical Disney ™ fireworks in the distance at Magic Kingdom ™ and Epcot ™

Pool, spa / Jacuzzi & children pool. To complement such a huge sun deck, the main free form pool is an enormous 46ft x 22ft and is interconnected by granite spillways with the spa and children’s pool. The children’s splash pool is 1.5ft deep and the 10 jet spa can comfortably seat 8 adults. The focal point of the pool is the rock waterfall which at 4ft tall is amazing to watch. The main pool also has within it a table and umbrella so you can sit in the pool with a drink whilst the umbrella provides shade. There are no fewer than ten fountains, six in the children’s pool and four in the main pool. All three pools have an interconnected multi-colored lighting system, in addition to the lighting in the waterfall and the four fountains in the main pool. At night all three pools and the fountains can be lit with ever changing matching color or alternatively just have the fountains and waterfall lights on to provide the ultimate peaceful evening setting.

As another bonus, standard pool heating is included in the rental price.
