WELCOME

Welcome to our blog about our Orlando vacation villa: The Retreat by the Lake. Here we will be posting updates about the newly renovated house and its availability as a rental villa when we are unable to be there ourselves.
We started this blog in the middle of November, 2010 to chronicle the renovation of the villa. Please see the archive (lower left) to read all about the how the reno went and how The Retreat became a luxury 5-star vacation home where you could stay on your next trip to Orlando to visit the awesome theme parks, to enjoy the many wonderful golf courses in the area, to watch baseball spring training, or for a pre- or post-cruise excursion.
Please feel free to leave your comments about our postings... we'd love to hear from you and what you think about The Retreat.

Going, going, gone!

One thing that always struck us as rather odd about the villa was the "art deco" type feature in the living room .... that round corner with the niche in it.  It just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the house, which is all about angles.  We could have left it, but then we'd always regret not changing it.... actually it would have been Mike who would regret it because he'd have had to listen to me complain about it!  So, the All-In Construction team have remodelled that corner for us and it is now gone.  The villa will be much better for it and so will Mike.
