    Crescent Lakes & Spring Lakes

    Hi - I like the look of 2 villas one in Crescent Lakes and one in Spring Lakes. Anyone know if this is a good place for us - there are only 2 of us but the villas seem so big. What would be a good price in mid September for 12 nights? We might take in the parks a little but I am unable to walk for miles but want to be fairly central. This is the first time I have rented in Florida so I want to get it right!

    Hope to hear from you all.

    I have just come back from Crescent lakes, You will need a car but then you do in Florida. It
    is a great area, nice quiet and clean (they all are). We found it easy to get to all the
    parks from there, almost one road.

    There is a 24 hour wal mart not that far away and it is nice to be away from all the hussle
    of the parks, Im not sure where Spring lakes is, but im sure others will be able to let you
    know what it is near etc

    Hope you have as good a time that we have just had

    I can also personally vouch for Crescent Lakes as we own two villas there ourselves.

    I also personally know the owner of the Spring Lakes villa you are thinking off. Spring Lakes is just off the 417 at the intersection with Landstar Blvd - very handy for the airport and the parks!

    Hi Chris

    They are easy to spot from the photos so you probably did - the 3 bed is on Allamanda Grace and the 7 bed is on Willow Bend - the next two commiunities down from Orchid Edge where you stayed.

    One day we just went for a drive around to see what else was in the area, and I must admit
    the whole area was so nice and well looked after.

    Best bit is that a publix is being built at the entrance, so that should help a lot. You are
    lucky to have 2 villa's there. Have you seen the new houses, they seem very reasonable.

    Im not sure if you remember me but I tried to rent your 3 bed but it was taken at the time so we booked the one we did.

    Hi Chris

    It is always disappointing to us when people want to book our villas but we don't have availability. We are so glad that we are part of the big family that is orlandovillas.com and vacation-rental-villas.com so if we can't accommodate we usually know someone that can

    Where exactly is the Publix being built? Just can't imagine that Key Lime Pie being withing walking distance.

    Hi Sarah

    Its being built opposite the entrance, as you leave you can see all the workmen preparing
    the ground.

    As for your villa, I tried to book late anyway and ticked the box to alert others. I didnt
    take it as a snub so dont worry

    Thanks so muchto you all - that's really great. Am on the point of booking but just weighing up one or two others. John and Sarah - do you know what Westridge is like please? And do I need pool heating mid September?

    Chris - was pleased with the info - my son is a bit nervous about driving in America but I guess once he gets going he will be OK so nice to know its one road to the parks - if we manage to get there. I can't take too much walking and it appears wheelchairs don't get preference nowadays

    John and Sarah - I did enquire about your villas but you were booked up! The Gilberthorpes own the one I am enquiring about - I hope it isnot booked by the time I can confirm which should be shortly. However thanks for all your info and suggested websites - I am so pleased I logged on to you all as it will be so helpful
