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.

Mike and Karen have beautifully renovated this fantastic home. The kitchen is highly functional and we were able to keep our toddlers and children entertained throughout the week with the exceptional collection of kids DVDs and of course, the pool. The views of the lake are gorgeous and not a bad spot for birdwatching either - there is a family of sand cranes about and we actually witnessed a bald eagle going fishing too!

Minutes away from everything thing and yet off the beaten track which limits exposure to road noise etc.

Overall a great spot!
