Formosa Gardens

[Twiglet]

Can anyone tell me what this community is like? Is there a club house or other facilities does anybody know? I note there are a lot of BIG houses in this community, we are still weighing up getting one big house as opposed to two together.

Formosa Gardens is a quiet, prestigious, gated community situated 1.5 miles from Disney and very close to Highway 192, with its numerous shops and restaurants, and the Formosa Gardens Shopping Plaza.

All villas are located on large plots, many with lake or woodland views from the ample sized, screened pool decks. Formosa Gardens villas are built to a superior standard and the community offers many slightly unusual villas and other larger than average properties with up to 8 bedrooms.

Formosa Gardens is so close to Disney you can see the fireworks at night.

We stayed there last year for a few days after hurricane charlie as the villa we were staying in still had no power. It has a very nice atmosphere, but does not have a club house as far as I know.[msnwink]

We find that people who rent a large home in this area are in extended family groups who would not make use of a club house. The homes are very spacious with the kinds of facilities which mean you would not need a club house.
As far as renting 2 smaller properties goes, well you know your family/friends group.I know some families who would need space away from each other and others who get more pleasure by spending time together.
One thing I would say though, whatever you decide to do on the home front, definately have enough vehicles so that you can split up during the day.

Thanks guys....I guess you are right about not needing a club house....we will have our own club.....'gift o the gab anon' as we will be catching up on years of news! [msnwink]

Hi Twiglet

We have stayed on Formosa Gardens and the houses are lovely. They do have large plots so you will find you are not too close to your neighbours (if that's what you like). It is very quiet -never heard any noise when we were there at all!!! There is no clubhouse. It has a TGI and Carabbas (Italian restaurant) just down the road, plus other restuarants very close and a supermarket too. It is very close to the 192 so very easy to start your journey off to Disney. We love Formosa and would have loved to buy a villa on there but unfortunately for us it's too expensive [msncry][msncry][msnsad]

The large homes should have two living areas.....a must I think if going away with friends and family......something I try not to do that much anymore......with room by the pool to sit out......you should have more space for a bit of quiet time........

I really liked staying on this community[msnwink]
