This beautiful villa is located less than 5 miles from Disney in the gated resort community of Windsor Hills (the closest pool home community to Disney). Your vacation rental includes access to all of Windsor Hills' amenities free of charge. This includes the community pool and water park.
Enjoy all of the beautiful Florida sun with a south facing pool and spa. The pool has been updated to a saltwater system. Stop swimming in over chlorinated pools that burn your eyes. Saltwater systems use a computer and electrolysis to control pool hygiene. Most vacation home pools are visited by a pool guy once a week that dumps tons of chlorine into the pool so that it lasts until he returns the next week. Those pools smell of chlorine and burn your eyes. A saltwater system is like swimming in saline. The water has a soft and silky feel. Saltwater systems are also better for your skin and hair because the chlorine level is properly controlled. Once you swim in a saltwater pool, you'll never want to rent a non-saltwater pool again.
Since the house is perfectly south facing, the covered lanai offers excellent shade all-day for those who need a little reprieve from the sun’s rays. The lanai ceiling fan creates a cool breeze when needed. The pool is set back a little from the neighbors creating some relative privacy. There is also a security gate around the pool for safety (rolled out of the way for pictures).
The fully equipped kitchen features granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. There is also a breakfast nook for quick meals before heading to the parks. Counter top appliances include a Keurig machine in addition to the normal coffee pot, kettle, toaster and blender.
Just past the kitchen is a dining room with seating for eight. A highchair is available for younger guests. We also provide a pack-n-play and strollers that may be taken to the parks.
Connected to the dining room is the living room and 65 inch Smart TV. Feel free to use your Netflix or Disney+ account to watch movies and television shows.
The downstairs features three bedrooms. The two master suites are closest to the pool with doorways off of the living room. These suites feature king beds, TVs, dual sink bathrooms, walk in closets, water closet and tiled showers.
The third downstairs bedroom is a Mickey Mouse themed bedroom and bathroom with a queen size bed. The bathroom has two doors and serves as the primary bathroom for the downstairs living area. The bedroom has a nice size closet and TV.
The two upstairs bedrooms are the inspiration behind the Galaxy Beyond name. Come stay aboard a Star Destroyer during the Battle of Endor in our Stormtrooper barracks. Guest will enjoy a double over double bunk bed. The Toy Story room features twin beds with Andy's Toys ready for adventure. We hope your kids will enjoy the fun décor inspired by the two newest lands in Hollywood Studios.
Finally, no Florida home would be complete without a game room. The Marvel themed, air conditioned room includes an air hockey and foosball table. The other part of the game room features a private theater for watching your favorite movies and shows. The streaming box allows you to use your favorite streaming services. There is also a washer and dryer for doing any laundry during your stay.
NOTE: Your safety matters. This property has a Ring doorbell device and exterior security cameras facing the front outdoor entry, driveway and sides of the home. The cameras DO NOT look into any interior spaces. The cameras actively record video when motion is detected by the device or when the video doorbell button is pressed.

About the Owner
As a father of two, I've always tried to create memories with my children that would last a lifetime. This started with beach, lake and Disney vacations. As they got older, I coached their sports teams - soccer, softball, baseball, etc. The one program that truly changed our lives was the YMCA Parent Child Program (formerly Indian Guides and Indian Princesses). At one point I was the head volunteer leader for each program. At the time we were the second largest such program in the US. The event based system was all about forming bounds with your children via fun events. At one point another dad in the program approached me about short-term rental properties near Disney. It took a couple of conversations, but eventually I purchased our first property in December of 2018 - Galaxy Beyond. The first year I cut my teeth and learned the ropes. At the end of the year I decided I liked the investment and purchased another in December of 2019 - Princesses Assemble. Covid hit soon after and inevitably guests cancelled their reservations. I felt like it would be a short lived, so I purchased a 3rd property in July 2020 - The Legends (eventually Villa 9 3/4). While the pandemic lasted longer than anticipated, lower prices on houses at the time allowed me to change gears, quit my job and focus on short-term rentals full time. We purchased our 4th home in February 2021. The house was in pretty bad shape and I spent the next two and a half months transforming it into our Star Wars themed A Villa Far, Far Away. The experience changed my life and opened my eyes to a creative side I hadn't know existed. A year later I purchased our 5th home in January 2022 and created the Marvel themed SHIELD Safe House in Solterra. Then I started collecting Harry Potter items to transform The Legends into our Villa 9 3/4 in January 2023. Now I spend much of my time thinking about how to continuously improve the houses so that families can created memories that will last a lifetime.Location
