Spacious 9BR/8BA Villa | 2 ½ Miles to Disney | Movie/ Games Room

About this listing

We’ve fallen in love with our new vacation villa, and we think you will too. Located just minutes from Disney (Animal kingdom is a 6 minute drive!) plus Margaritaville with its Water Park and many restaurants, Hartley House is the perfect home for your next family vacation. You’ll be so close to all the attractions Orlando has to offer, yet able to retreat to your luxurious, spacious and comfortable Villa after a long day at the parks, beach, golfing, shopping, or enjoying some of Central Florida’s beautiful nature spots.

When you want to relax and spend time with the family, you’re sure to find plenty of activities at the villa to keep the whole crew happy and busy!

Everyone will enjoy the large tropical screened-in pool and patio area. There are lounge chairs for soaking in the sun, tables with sunbrellas for dining al fresco, and a covered lanai with tv (& ESPN+) for those who prefer their fresh air without the sun.

We’ve updated much of the home’s decor; adding some Disney magic and many fun extras – we have outdoor games like giant chess, badminton, pool basketball, giant Jenga and cornhole. Indoors there’s an air hockey/ ping pong table, 2 PS4s, wii, Xbox360, a docking station for your Nintendo switch, many board games, giant wall scrabble, darts for all to play, wall Tic-tac-toe (noughts and crosses), piano keyboard, building toys like Kapla and legos, plus a variety of other toys for the kids. Your movie-lovers will enjoy watching a film or favorite series on the large 85” tv and surround sound. Includes Netflix, Hulu, Disney plus, HBOMAX.

Hartley House is on a large plot, so there is plenty of green space outside to enjoy. Formosa Gardens is a gated community with lovely lakes and natural areas. Sea Pearl Circle, one of the community’s roads, is a circular path of approx. 1 mile, perfect for evening family walks (extra fun at night during the fireworks!) or for your fitness-conscious family members to burn off some energy. If you love to walk, Formosa winery is nearby; mini golf, some essential shops and a few restaurants such as Outback steakhouse and red lobster are all an easy walk, and the restaurants of Sunset Walk at Margaritaville are just a bit further…
A perfect home for your family holidays.
