We have recently returned from a stay at BellaVista. From start to finish Phill and Nicola were so lovely to deal with. Arrival was really easy with a very comprehensive set of notes on how to use the automatic door locks - so convenient! The house itself was just perfect - really spacious, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and fresh. There were so many areas for everyone to spread out in! Having smart TVs in every room was great and the 2 games rooms were just wonderful to have. The pool area was fab and had a gorgeous outlook while the upstairs deck off the master bedrooms was just beautiful - what an amazing spot for a morning coffee. Access to the community centre with its gym, swimming pool and tennis courts was a real bonus. The house was so well equipped, and everything was very good quality. Phill and Nicola have thought of everything. We really loved our time there; it was just perfect. Thank you both for sharing your beautiful villa with us. Thanks again!

We stayed at Bella Vista for 3 weeks in December 2023. The house is fantastic and had everything we needed for a wonderful Christmas. We made wonderful new memories at the pool. The huge TVs were perfect for relaxing as a family. The location is also excellent with plenty of places nearby to eat. We will definitely be staying here again. We've been visiting Florida for over 20 years and this is our favourite villa. The villa owner was friendly, responsive and best service of all the villas we have stayed in

What a fantastic Villa! Had the best time ever, so relaxed. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay – ps we left some beers and Coke in the fridge.

Hi Phil and Nicola, we had a lovely time at the villa and I will miss sitting on the veranda each morning watching the sunrise or out by the pool eating breakfast. Your villa is a real home from home and I love the idea of the all the night lights as it made it easier to navigate at night without having to blind yourself when turning on main lights! I left the kettle we bought in the pantry so it can be kept as a spare if needed. We were thrilled with our holiday villa choice and your communication has been excellent over the years. We may never have met but I feel as if I know your family. We would certainly love to return. Thank you once again and I do have great memories. We will be back in touch but Sarah and I have decided that it will probably have to be 2026 for our next Florida holiday as we have already booked a mother daughter trip to California for next year. Kind regards

Hi Phill, having a fantastic time here, Villa fabulous, don’t want leave, weather very hot !!! Hottest we have ever experienced, only had one small Thunder shower. It was a fantastic holiday, need a holiday to get over this one (lol) none of the family wanted to leave😢😢. I must complement you both on your Villa, myself and Rhi agreed it’s the best one we have stayed in and we have stayed in a few, it had everything! We could not fault it, and once again thank you for letting us rent it… If we were going to purchase a property the location and size of the Villa would be perfect. We will definitely recommend your Villa to our friends,.
Guest name: Godwin Date of visit: August 2023
Just to let you know we arrived safely. Your home is absolutely beautiful, and we will take good care of it. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your home we have had a lovely holiday. We did not want to leave today, however we will definitely come back.
Guest name: Chalcroft Date of visit: July/August 2023
We were a family of 10 and we had a wonderful time. The villa is great and very homely. It's in a great location and was ideal for all ages. Pool area is lovely and private and there is a nice, shaded area. Rooms are all good sizes with large comfortable beds. Good restaurants not too far away and several supermarkets too. Access to Disney parks is easy and only takes about 20 minutes. We've stayed in many villas over the years around Orlando and this is one of the best. We have had a wonderful time staying at your villa so thank you both very much. Superb.
Guest name: Pattison Date of visit: July 2023
We have stayed at Champions Gate, in particular The Shire, for years and years now and this is one of our favourite villla’s - already have it booked again for next year. Phill and Nicola are great at keeping you informed pre-holiday and the management company are brilliant once you are there. The pool is fabulous, nobody overlooks you, and the spa is great for when you’re just reading. The villa itself has all you will need for a fabulous stay, with lots of lovely upgrades. TV’s are huge and obviously make ours look tiny once we’re home 🤣 We can’t recommend it enough.
Guest name: Gaier Date of visit: June 2023
We had an absolutely fabulous time in your lovely Villa and will definitely be rebooking. We have visited Florida many times over the last 20 years, staying in Disney hotels and other villas. The last 4 times we have stayed on The Shire, which we find to be very handy. Your villa, Bellavista, we found to be the best. Everything we needed and more. Also, the information that you gave was very helpful, in all the times we’ve been visiting Florida we’ve never been told about the toll pass - what a saving Really can’t wait to return.
Guest name: Calvin Date of visit: May/June 2023
Just wanted to let you know we had a fabulous stay at your beautiful home. Our only regret is we didn’t book for longer. We will certainly do so when we rent again.
Guest name: Moores Date of visit: May 2023
The villa is amazing! Having the best holiday. The extra hours for the book out was a massive help. The guys went to do last minute shopping and I just got as much washing done as I could. Ha ha. We had a fabulous stay at 173 Norfolk Drive! All the information was provided to us, prior to arrival. The house is stunning, spacious and had everything we needed. We often visit Florida, and this is by far the nicest villa we have ever stayed in and shall hopefully be able to book for all our future visits. Thank you, Phill and Nicola!
Guest name: Penman Date of visit: April 2023
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at this villa, it was exactly as described. Lovely area, close to all the attractions. The highlight was the jacuzzi and the outside space! Amazing thank you
Guest name: Maughan Date of visit: March 2023
Today temps are in the 30 degree range now and the weather is just what we needed. Heather had noticed all of the changes and the new colours. It certainly makes the house fresh and modern. We can’t believe all of the developments in the area since our last stay. There’s no recession here. Awesome tip on the back road to Posner Park - thanks. Most of all we are enjoying the peace, quiet and tranquility here at the Shire. Again, our thanks.
Guest name: Byrnes Date of visit: Feb 2023
Thank you so much Phill and Nicola for the pleasure of renting your lovely villa one of the cleanest we’ve stayed in quoted my mother in law. We loved every part of it from the open plan kitchen living area to the pool, games room and the upstairs veranda we would highly recommend to anyone and we will certainly book again if we return to Orlando in the future . Communication with Phill and Nicola was so easy and helpful which makes things so much easier when organising a holiday. Best wishes
Guest name: Lloyd Family Date of visit: February 2033
Had a wonderful time really enjoyed the villa and will definitely recommend to family and friends. With regards the villa we really couldn’t fault it, this is our 5th time staying in a villa in Orlando and I can honestly say it was the best equipped, the décor was excellent, the location perfect and the community very quiet and secure.
Guest name: the McNevin-Duffs Date of visit: 18th April 2019
Nice home with a great neighbourhood. The owners were great to deal with. Well-appointed and we really enjoyed our stay. We are looking at next year and are thinking about 4 weeks (Mar/Apr). Please let me know what you think about this. I realize that this is early but we definitely want to come back here next year.
Guest name: The Byrnes Date of visit: March 2019
First off, the communication with the owner was fantastic. Rarely did a message go more than a few hours before a response... not that I needed or required a response so quickly. Our family of 9 was able to comfortably occupy this home without any issues of privacy or space. We had member in their 70s, 40s, 30s and teens. No one was ever cramped or bored. The pictures of the home did not do it true justice as the home is in really wonderful condition. Each room is spacious, and the beds are quite comfortable. There is ample room in each closet with lots of hangers and the dressers are plentiful… you will have plenty of room for all your clothes. Almost every room in the house has a large television for your enjoyment and to relax. We had very little need to watch television as there was a den with a PlayStation 3, and a garage that housed an 8 foot pool table, basketball hotshot, and a foosball table. Much of our time was spent in the stunning large pool and hot tub. Nice and warm too!! The kitchen is very spacious with really great appliances and all the cookware you need to prepare good meals. The cupboards are full! You will not run short of anything! We could not have been more pleased with this home, and there is a very good chance we will come back to this home away from home in the future!
Guest name: The Pearson Family Date of visit: 25th March 2019
We had the most amazing time, thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation, our daughter used the Second Master and always sat on the balcony in the rocking chair listening to her music at least twice per day and was so sad to leave her lovely bedroom. She really got so attached to the villa, her room and the beautiful pool. On our first morning, the hot air balloons passed by, such a beautiful welcoming and then on our very last morning which was Memorial Day, there were about 18 balloons in the sky as we looked out of the window, such a wonderful sight and you can imagine we took loads of photos throughout our trip!! This was all very emotional for us! Re - the pool, we obviously met Dave (Millers Pools) on a few occasions and have to say what a lovely guy he really is and so helpful. He also gave us lots of details of the local area and places to go, so with all the info you kindly gave us in advance, we really felt so much at home! The pool was lovely and warm and beautiful and we were able to swim in it each day. Our daughter used her lilo chair all the time and absolutely loved the outlook from the pool, which was truly beautiful and quiet and so serene. The warm pool really helped her health. As we live in a quiet village, it felt just like home, but with the pool and beautiful sunshine, it was amazing!! Each day, we were visited by a family of 4 Sand Crane birds which would come up to the cage around the pool and they would just stand and look at us for several minutes and then they were on their way digging for insects with their long beaks. We always chatted to them!! We also had a resident rabbit which appeared to live in the front garden area and he would pop around the rear of the villa to see us too! We also loved watching the lizards! We loved all the wild life and the beautiful view from the pool area and were in tears when we left it to return to the airport! We thought that The Shire was such a lovely area and you must be so pleased that you have found such a lovely villa after much searching. We did spend several days just sitting around the pool and relaxing. We did visit Celebration so are grateful to you for your suggestion! We sat on the rocking chairs and I ate the ice-cream and enjoyed the beautiful chocolate fudge! We did not walk around the lake but will do so next time! It was such a beautiful area. We also visited Disney Springs on our last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, having never got around to this before! We made friends with so many of the staff in Publix at Championsgate where we visited frequently, as we did in the past! We also thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Cracker Barrell and the beautiful shop and rocking chairs! Sorry for sending you such a lengthy email, but just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our visit and stay in Bella Vista and really wish we were still there! Just to let you know that we shall highly recommend Bella Vista should any of our family and friends wish to visit Florida. Will keep in touch for our next planned visit!
Guest name: The Cain family Date of visit: 28th April 2019
Just to let you know ur villa is stunning. This is the 3rd villa we have stayed in & we have stayed in Emerald Isle & Highland Reserve both were beautiful but this by far is the most superior, thanku soooo much.
Guest name: Lisa O' Date of visit: 13th July
We have just got back home to England after a memorable 12 nights that we spent in Phill and Nichola’s beautiful home in West Haven. The house was everything and more than what we expected. The pictures do not do it justice at all. All the furniture is immaculate and so comfortable, and you can see that they take care of the house so well. The neighbourhood was lovely, really quiet and very safe, and also full of wildlife!! The location is good with the shops, restaurants and excellent golf courses at Champions Gate a 5 minute drive away. You can even see the fireworks from Disney (Universal is a good 40 minutes away but that is down to the awful i4 freeway!!). I couldn’t recommend this wonderful villa anymore and also the owners Phill and Nichola who have been fantastic all the way through and so helpful.
Guest name: The Moss Family Date of visit: 27th July
Had a great time, just a pity you have to come back. Will keep in touch as I’m sure we’ll be back.
Guest name: The Bates family Date of visit: 23rd August 2019
We had such a lovely time. Thank you. Your villa is gorgeous and perfect for what we needed. Will definitely be in touch when we visit again.
Guest name: the Dargues Date of visit: 3rd September 2019
We had a fantastic two weeks & your villa was fabulous, I will definitely recommend and we hope to get back out there soon..
Guest name: S. Price Date of visit: 13th September 2019
Thanks for the extras (clothes horse, washing up bowl, grater) all delivered very quickly and much appreciated. We appreciated the new TT bats although the pool table proved to be the favourite choice with my son-in-law and grandson (left you a pack of 6 TT balls). The villa was great and very comfortable beds. Our grandson loved the computer room. We are planning to come back for Christmas 2020
Guest name: The Munros Date of visit: 18th October 2019
Our family rented this very beautiful home for a week. It had everything we needed and things we didn’t even know we wanted. The gorgeous pool has southern exposure. Located in a lovely, gated community that is close to the supermarket, restaurants, shopping etc. The owners were such a pleasure to deal with. Correspondence was seamless. Thank you so much for sharing and allowing us to stay and play at your piece of paradise. We will absolutely be back.
Guest name: The Chanceys (Canada) Date of visit: 9th November 2019
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your home with our family. The whole process from booking to arriving was easy & professional & you were very patient with my endless questions! The Shires is a lovely gated community, the house exceeds expectation it is huge! The photos are spot on, our family had plenty of private space but also enjoyed the family areas. This was our 13th visit to the area & we have stayed in some lovely homes, as our family is still growing we certainly hope to return and would not hesitate to rebook this beautiful home.
Guest name: Linda W Date of visit: 16th November 2019
We are strongly considering a return visit next year for 4-5 weeks, so would be interested if your villa is available for the same period of time in 2020. We appreciate all your communication and concern for our happiness during, and after, our stay at your Bella Vista. Thanks much!
Guest name: The Hanneys Date of visit: February 2019
We very much enjoyed our 3 week stay in December 2018/January 2019. Lots of good things to say about this property - spacious, well equipped kitchen, nice pool with lots of afternoon sun, and a wonderful upper deck above the pool - great place to get away from the kids for some peace and quiet
