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.

Florida sunshine


living room looking onto lanai
A very special feature of the Retreat is that it is full of Florida sunshine.  It has a south facing pool which means it gets bathed in sunshine all day long.  And the back of the house has 4 sliders or patio doors that open up onto the pool deck and allow the sunshine to pour in.  This picture, courtesy of Brad of HSDPros, shows the three sliders in the dining room/living room area.  There is another set in the master bedroom.

Sitting here in Canada, where we're currently getting a whopping 9 hours of daylight... when it's not raining or snowing, that is!... it's hard to not want to be at the Retreat.
