The world-famous Champions Gate courses are on your doorstep. Two Greg Norman designed courses and the world headquarters of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy to brush up your game.

This is a “gated community”, so there is a guarded gate to get into the community. Please make sure you let us know the names of all the drivers, with the names as they show on your driver’s license. For example: If your name is John Q Smith, and that’s the way your driver’s license has your name listed as, but you only give us John Smith; the guards will not allow you through the gate.

There are Ring cameras at the side of the front door, above the garage, and each side of the house to protect the pool pump and heater. Use of these devices also helps ensure guest safety.

Yes! It’s Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary and they started celebrating it on October 1, 2021. They’ll be celebrating it for 18 months! Because of this you’ll see special items for sale, and special firework displays just for this occasion! You might want to talk to a cast member asking them what time the fireworks are that evening, where’s the best place to see them, and what time you should get there to get the best seat.
My wife does an AWESOME job of this! She LOVES Walt Disney World, so she’s willing to spend some time doing some research, but she doesn’t plan Walt Disney World trips. She does a lot of looking at Youtube websites about Walt Disney World. One of her favorites is Molly All ears. But there are SO many others like: DFB Guide, The Disney Blog, and Dad’s guide to wdw.

House Rules

  • We do not allow parties or large gatherings.
  • We do not allow any smoking, vaping or smoking of pot.
  • We do not allow pets.
  • You have availability to the water park inside Windsor Hills, but you’ll need to go to the front office to get plastic bands. You will only receive the number of bands that correlates to the number of people in the villa. BECAUSE so many people love the water park no outside visitors are allowed (which is the reason the plastic bands are required).
  • Please inspect all rooms immediately upon your arrival and inform the owner or Management Company anything that might be construed as damage.
  • Only two cars are allowed per driveway. There are extra spaces available at an over-flow parking lot nearby; but this is not suggested during busy times of the year. Only three cars are allowed in the community, and no cars are allowed on the sidewalks, along the streets or on the grass. If you do any of these options, you will be ticketed by the HOA and charged a fee. We had a guest bring five cars and two of them were refused. They chose to park the other two cars in the Walmart parking lot nearby and one of those were towed away, so keeping it to three cars is the best way to go. This guest also chose to park their third car on the grass and were given a warning by a guard when he roamed the subdivision.

 

If you decide to ignore any of these rules, please know that you will lose your right to be there and be forcibly removed and pay for any damages that you caused.
