Thank you for another wonderful stay at Lake Thomas, we are missing the amazing views there! Christine.

We stayed in the villa for 2 weeks as a base and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect for all the major attractions and is far enough away from the commercial mayhem of Orlando. Champions Gate facilities were really close and great. We had 5 adults stay and there was plenty of room for all of us. Villa was clean and tidy. The wildlife in the lake at the back is phenomenal, Alligators, Turtles, Ducks, Rabbits and some huge birds that we cannot name - wonderful experience, topped off by picturesque sun rises each day. Highly recommend this Villa and would happily return. Roger

Hi Janet, just a quick thank you for letting us rent your villa, we found the location fantastic and the sun rise over the lake was amazing. Gary

We are here now and would recommend. The house is very homely, and we love that there is so much wildlife literally on the doorstep. Linda

This was my first time staying away from Disney property with my family and I was a bit anxious. Janet the owner soon put our minds at ease very informative and great communication, the villa is perfect for families, great location and very clean and tidy. I found Janet to be nothing short of perfect in the way she has dealt with my family. We will be returning highly recommend. Whether you're looking for a couple or family this is the place to stay amazing value and great old fashioned service from really great people. Ryan

Hi Janet, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the use of your Lake Thomas villa. My husband and I had a wonderful time and were very sad to leave. The villa had everything we could have hoped for and more and we would definitely look to return at some point in the future. Unfortunately, when we planned and booked our holiday we did not anticipate that our daughter's graduation for her PHD in Quantum Physics would clash, but we were able to watch a live stream of the ceremony on your TV thanks to the brilliant Wi-fi.Thanks again, Liz

We stayed at Lake Thomas villa this year to celebrate my 50th Birthday. The villa was great. Plenty of room and in a great location. The view over the lake was just beautiful. We have stayed in many villas over the years but this was the first time in this location. We were close to parks and shops. I had tried to re book for 2023, but unfortunately the dates we are travelling are booked. Next time xx

Stayed here in July -5 of us- including 3 teenage boys- very nice villa in great location down the i4. Easy location to get to all the parks and coast, with bonus of supermarket, Chinese and take away pizza with 2 minutes drive. A big thank you to Janet for the extensive information and knowledge of the area and the ease of renting the villa from herself and staying in contact through out the process and returning the deposit. The villa was clean and well maintained with all the usual gadgets that you could wish for (wfi for the boys), especially the pool that overlooked the beautiful lake. The pool was a good size that could be enjoyed, especially we had a great time playing our own version of volley ball!! The real benefit was looking at the view over the lake morning and night- I loved my morning ritual of drinking coffee on the lake deck and watching the wildlife- seeing a baby croc most days sun bathing on the lilly pads was a joy- glad we never saw mum!!! If you are looking for villa with plenty of space, value for money then this place is it. If we look to come back to Florida again I would have no hesitation in booking this first.

Myself wife daughter and nephew all stayed in this villa for 2 weeks and loved it. It was in a great location and only 2 minutes from shops and takeaways. The view from the villa was amazing the only downside we all had was we did not see a alligator ha. When we visit America again this will be the first villa we will try and book, thank you for letting us stay in your holiday home, Paul.

Nicely maintained home with a great mix of rooms, decor and small lake to view. Very convenient location to many attractions and amenities. Worked perfectly for us.

Perfect location as we have family in Davenport. The pool was used every day. The sun kept the temp at 86* the entire time we were there. Lovely home with all the amenities .

We stayed at Lake Thomas Villa for a week whilst exploring the Orlando area. Upon arrival, quite late at night, access to the house was simple enough. We unloaded the car and settled down for a cup of coffee and a chill before bed. We found the house to be full of quality furniture, the dining room table and carved chairs especially. The bed in the master bedroom was supremely comfy for us. All bedrooms were well appointed. The pool was lovely, clean and warm. The location of the house was very private, with a large lake to the rear and just a house to one side. We were lucky enough to have a visiting pair of Sandhill Cranes with their 2 chicks. Lots of other wildlife to be seen too. Great stuff. A must do is Lake Louisa State Park, as is the Medieval Times tournament along with all the usual Orlando attractions. All in all an excellent week was had by all.

Hi Janet, Just a quick note to thank you for our stay at the villa. The location was even more beautiful than the photos; I especially loved the transformation of the view of the lake just before dawn through the sunrise and the morning sunshine. The hauntingly eerie black and silver background changing to the shimmering sparkle in the sunshine over the course of the early morning was a true joy to behold. The morning visits from the sand crane family who padded about as if posing was a delight. The location was far better than I thought with such quick and easy access to I 4, 192 and highway 27 making it perfect. Friends, who we had shown photos of the interior prior to our visit, expressed doubts about comfort of the furniture but in the short time we sat inside, usually at the end of the day, we found the sofas very comfortable and the beds were extremely comfortable. Apart from the views we were attracted to the villa because it had individual character and style as opposed to the ” folded swan towel “villas we were used to renting and we were not disappointed. Again thanks for the very comprehensive instructions and suggestions prior to our visit, they were very much appreciated and helpful. Unfortunately in such a short visit we just managed one of your outdoor suggestions and did stay overnight at Clearwater. In short we had a wonderful time and once again thank you, Norrie.

The best compliment I can give a place is by going back for another visit. So once again we choose lake Thomas villa for our holiday. And once again it was perfect. This time we had our 2 year old Ruby with us as well. The only struggle was convincing her to leave the pool to go to the theme parks! The personal touch and attention to detail from Janet is wonderful. You won’t be disappointed. We left our first review in October 2015, and can only echo those words again. Great villa in a perfect location, with tremendous views over the lake. We were visited by a multitude of wildlife also. There are even more facilities available at champions gate since our last visit. If we are lucky enough to have another family holiday in Orlando we won’t hesitate come back. See you in 2021 hopefully!! David

We stayed at this villa over Christmas, The villa is in a beautiful location with the lake at the rear of the house, watching the sunrise in the morning over lake Thomas is a perfect way to start the day, the villa is furnished with stunning furniture, equipped with everything you need for your stay, tucked away from all the hustle and bustle but just a short drive away if that’s what you like, we have stayed in a few villas and this is one of the best, we would highly recommended this villa. Thanks again Janet .

We had 3 weeks at Lake Thomas Villa and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Communication with Janet was excellent and lots of useful information was provided that added to our visit. Mornings and evenings by the lake were our favourites as well as watching out for the regular bird visitors.

Great stay at Lake Thomas Villa for 14 nights. Ideal location for Disney although use the 192 road rather than the I4 to get to Disney! Lovely views of Lake from villa. Will be back!

Great location! The villa has everything you need plus more. The lake out the back is beautiful. Loved drinking my coffee in the morning by the pool looking out at the lake seeing hot air balloons fly over. Lovely to come home to at the end of a busy day. The owners of Lake Thomas Villas could not have been more helpful in giving us info about the area and suggest places to visit. We hope to be back again soon. Thank you.

Perfect location. Close to Disney parks, Champions gate and I4 and US27. A real home from home when not at the parks or shopping etc. Very easy to get into relaxed mode after a busy day. Great pool overlooking the beautiful lake. Fantastic view of sunrise and sunset over the lake but also great to watch the occasional Florida lightning storms! Choice of supermarkets / shopping nearby; publix: 5 minutes, target, 10 mins and Walmart, 15 minutes. Also, a 7/11 within walkable distance! We didn’t make use of the TV or Netflix which is available, but I can say the WiFi is excellent…. important when you’ve got 2 teenagers! No hesitation in recommending this property and would certainly use again. Thanks for the handy hints and guidelines Janet 🙂

Absolutely loved our stay at Lake Thomas villa. Super comfortable, clean and convenient. The lake view is stunning with amazing bird life and alligators!

This three-bedroom villa was set in a perfect location. The accommodation offered everything you need for a holiday. The pool area was second to none offering privacy and views of the abundant nature overlooking a huge lake. Watching the sunrise from the sofa in the morning is just beautiful with peace and tranquillity. there was easy access to everything. We drove down to Daytona Beach, celebration, Disney Springs, Lake Eola and more which was great, all the parks are a short drive away. The owner Janet is very helpful. this is our second visit to this villa and probably not the last. We highly recommend this villa. Thank you Janet for a wonderful stay

Had a fab time in Florida, made even better having a villa to chill out in, pool and facility’s where fantastic kids loved the pool and playing in the games room, plenty of space for our family. Thanks again Janet for allowing us to use your villa
