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.

Spring's new arrivals!

Springtime at Sunset Lakes always means new arrivals.  There is a new family of Sandhill Cranes and we have a picture courtesy of a neighbour/neighbor who snapped it a couple of weeks ago.  The babies are SO cute!

Spring is also bringing some additional upgrades to the Retreat.  After having completely renovated the interior of the Villa, we are now turning our attention to the exterior and have some great plans.

To begin, in May we will be installing a gas BBQ for the use of our guests.  We believe that when you are on vacation, everything should be easy.  A BBQ will provide the opportunity to cook up a quick meal and that certainly falls into the EASY category.

Check back later for our plans for the pool.
