Area Information

We have put together some information from our own experience, which we believe you may find of use to you during your stay in our villa. However, if you have any questions, we are more than happy to help you out. >Go To Top

Fastest Route from Airport: The best way we have found with the least amount of traffic is down the Central Florida Greeneway (Toll 417). It's a Toll Road, but worth every penny, especially after a long flight. From Orlando International (less than $5 in tolls) head for the 417 SOUTH. From Sanford International, also head for the 417 SOUTH (less than $10 in tolls). Leave the 417 toll road at exit 2 signposted Celebration Avenue to 192, take a right after toll booth and left at T junction onto the US 192 West. Drive along the US 192 until you reach the US27 South - stay in left lane signposted Haines City. Highlands Reserve entrance is well lit along the US27 on the right hand side, about 1-1/2 miles after you joined the US27 - next right after the traffic lights at Publix. Directions to our villa will be given to you prior to your arrival. >Go To Top

Petrol (Gas): There are numerous petrol (gas) stations nearby, with the closest just a 2 minute drive from the villa on the corner of Sand Mine Road at Berry Town Plaza. Don't forget to lift the lever before filling the tank!!. >Go To Top

Supermarkets: The nearest supermarket is Publix (great value with an excellent choice & service), which is located on the southbound carriageway of the US27 just north of Highlands Reserve (you can't miss it) less than 5 minutes from our villa (you could even walk there). Wal-Mart, is a popular superstore (now affiliated with ASDA) located about 12 miles south on the US27 - another one is located on the US192 next to Medieval Times. Excellent value shopping (same principle as ASDA in the UK, but much bigger). >Go To Top

Pharmacies: a Walgreen's 24hr Drive Thru Pharmacy is located on the east bound carriageway of the US192 opposite the Orange Lake Resort - about 4 miles from our villa. You will also find another Walgreen's about 1 mile on US27 north of the US192. >Go To Top

Restaurants: There are loads of shops and restaurants along the US192. We found Sizzler is excellent value for breakfast or brunch - arrive at around 10:30am and you can eat breakfast and lunch for less than $5 - no need to worry about eating in Disney ! There are loads of shops and restaurants on the US192. We can definitely recommend Carrabba's Italian Grill by Splendid China (fantastic food at a very reasonable price). There are some excellent takeaways (Chinese, Indian & Pizza) in the area - details can be found at the villa. >Go To Top

Air conditioning: The air conditioning has been pre-programmed at a level for your optimum comfort. We recommend that you keep all windows and doors shut in order to allow the air conditioning to do its job in keeping the villa cool. >Go To Top

DVD Video & Games Rental: DVD's and Playstation 2 games can be hired from the video rental shop next to the Publix supermarket. You will need to show your passport or driving licence as well as a credit card to get temporary membership. We have provided a selection of DVD's and games for your entertainment. Please note that UK purchased DVD's will not work in the USA and visa versa. >Go To Top

Linen: We have provided sufficient towels (including pool towels) and linen in our villa. However, we would appreciate it if these would remain exclusively for use within our villa and pool area. If you are planning a visit to one or more of the water theme parks or even plan a trip to the Gulf or Atlantic coast, then can we request that you use your own beach towels (or you can purchase these really cheaply anywhere along the US192). >Go To Top

The Swimming Pool: For your safety we request that you do not take glass or crockery into the pool area (broken glass is very difficult to see on a wet pool deck and is very dangerous). We have provided ample plastic tumblers, plates, bowls for safe use around the pool. >Go To Top

The BBQ: The gas fired BBQ has been provided for the use of our guests by the pool area. We cannot be held responsible for any injuries resulting from incorrect usage of this facility. If you need any additional gas, a propane bottle exchange can be purchased for around $20 from the local garage (1 mile north on US27 by Subway). Guests are responsible for cleaning the BBQ after use. >Go To Top
