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.

Tile is in

Yesterday, the new pool tile was put in.  We chose a beautiful blue stone tile for the waterline and pool features.  It has a lovely soft feel and certainly gives the pool an updated look.  Many thanks to Kenny at All-In Construction who arranged to have tile samples couriered to us so that we could make the right choice!
This is extending the contemporary and modern feeling of the villa to the exterior pool area.  Given the orientation of the villa, which baths the backyard in sunshine all day and provides such a beautiful vista, we know that we and our guests will be spending just as much time outdoors as inside, if not more!
