We bought BrightwaterVilla in September 2008. We looked at many homes. This one stood out due to the bright airy look and feel.
As you walk in the front door, your eyes are drawn straight to the pool deck and lake.
Lake Berkley is a beautiful peaceful resort kept immaculately by our valued team of landscapers.
We love the Florida lifestyle. We visit our Florida home 3 times a year and upgrade something every time for continuous improvement.

Below are reviews and testimonials from guests who have previously stayed in this vacation villa.
"After an extremely busy week staying at Wilderness Lodge, Disney, we moved to this beautiful villa. Spacious, clean, with gorgeous lake views, and perfect location for Universal, Discovery Cove, Sea World, shops and Kissimmee.
We enjoyed BBQs, swimming, the hot tub, and relaxing at the villa.
We would love to return and stay here again!
With many thanks."
Gordon, Scotland, October 2019
"Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your wonderful villa for the 2nd time!
We have had an amazing family holiday again and fingers crossed, we will be returning again.
Location of villa is spot on for everything, we really couldn't ask for more - that is why we chose to return to you."
Michael, Scotland, October 2019
"Super. We loved it. Very relaxing, roomy, beautiful, peaceful neighborhood, nice walkway."
Doy, North Carolina, March 2019
"Great Pool & Game Room & Fun Time at Brightwater! Very much enjoyed the pool and Game Room! My family is very into the World Cup and they have a nice TV to watch the games. Actually there was a TV in every bed room. The owners were very easy to deal with. Clean-up was very easy! Just pull off bed linens and towels for their cleaning crew. Other places you have to do Way More! This was easy and quick. We were only a family of 4, but the house is larger than it appears. The upstairs has 4 bedrooms (another one with a private bathroom) and a lounging area - great for teens or kids to play. I'd bring friends next time, since there is so much private space for all. Thanks again for sharing your home with us!"
Kelli, Philadelphia, July 2018
"Lovely rental near Disney and Universal. This roomy house was plenty big for two families. The two master bedrooms were very appreciated. The extra TV area was great for the kids and the pool was lots of fun. The house was very clean, the neighborhood was quiet and the drive to Disney and Universal were both under 30 minutes even in traffic."
MomofFour, D.C., April 2018
"Great Vacation Home. Had a wonderful time. The house was spacious and CLEAN. Sue and David helped us with any questions or concerns. All 10 guys were happy with their stay and complimented me on the nice house I picked for our golf trip. Hope to see this house again next year. Thanks for everything."
Vang, Michigan, February 2018
"Very wonderful. We really enjoyed it was a very clean place thank you."
Michael, Ohio, February 2018
"Great base for a large family holiday. Comfortable homely villa on a secure, well maintained estate. Plenty of room for six adults and five children. Pool and outlook over lake fantastic (lake well stocked with large fish if that's your thing!). Disney parks 20 mins away. Universal 30 mins. Walmart 5 mins drive away. Owner, Dave and management staff very helpful."
Stephen, Manchester, August 2017
"Superb villa, amazing location. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The villa has everything you need, including a very relaxing jacuzzi, games room, and a nice area upstairs with TV and sofa which was an ideal chill-out area for our older son. The resort is very quiet, secure and well maintained with facilities such as tennis courts and a club house. The villa also has a selection of fishing rods and equipment which were brilliant - you can fish in the lake overlooked by the villa or in the larger lake on the resort. My son claims to have caught a 2ft bass, although it apparently escaped before he could take a picture of it! The resort has easy access to US192, with a large Walmart only a few minutes drive. Disney, Universal and Old Town are within easy reach. Sue and Dave were brilliant thorough the booking process, with great communications and information. They even arranged for a bottle of wine and card for my daughter who had her 18th birthday. We recommend this villa. Thank you."
Philip, Southampton, July 2017
"Beautiful, convenient and absolutely perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! In fact, we wish we had stayed longer! The location is great in relation to Disney and we were able to enjoy other area attractions as well. The home has everything you need down to the fine details for the kids! We had forgotten an umbrella for our beach trip and we didn't have to buy one! They thought of everything! We will absolutely stay again and have already recommended to several of our friends!! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home!!"
Angie, Kentucky, April 2017
"Great location. We stayed at the house for 13 days and had a great time. There were 8 of us and everyone had their own space. The four bathrooms were a huge bonus. The location is close to the Disney Parks and Walmart is very close. Love the gated community. Everyone is extremely friendly including the management company. The house had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the large pool deck as we spent a lot of time outside. We appreciated the late check out. We would definitely stay at this property again!"
Jeanette, Ohio, March 2017
"Totally relaxing. I could tell that the owners take pride in providing a comfortable experience. Location was prime, and setting was peaceful."
RaShima, Florida, February 2017
"1/2
This was our second time renting this property. It is exactly as described in the writeup. Dave responded immediately to my rental request and to any other emails I sent him before and after the trip. My deposit was returned the day after we got back from vacation. The manager visited us on the first day to see how things were going. He was attentive and quick to respond when we contacted him. We were two families vacationing together. The kids used the game tables in the garage daily and everyone had their own space to wind down and sleep. We did visit some of the parks while we were there. The villa is conveniently located to all of the parks. The commute to Universal was around 20-25 minutes. Magic Kingdom around 15..."
Sue, Rhode Island, June 2016
"2/2...It was so hot while we were there that we decided to return mid afternoon for a swim and dinner and then go back to the park later in the evening for fireworks. In addition, we visited friends in New Smyrna which is about an hour and twenty minutes away. The villa is a great base for your Orlando vacation. It is very nice to get away from the crowds and sit by the pool after a day at the park. I will definitely recommend this villa to friends heading down to Orlando! Thank you Dave and Sue!"
Sue, Rhode Island, June 2016
"Beautiful family villa. Outstanding!!! Loved this villa. Beautiful, clean with a lovely homely feel! Loved the pool and hot tub. Management were very welcoming and helpful!! Will definitely be returning! The lake is also beautiful and we loved fishing everyday!! Thank you Dave and Sue for letting us stay in your dream home! We loved it!"
Jon, Cornwall, April 2016
"Wonderful Florida Stay. Very comfortable property in a nice secure location.
There were 6 of us (3 couples) and we enjoyed the convenience of the location. It was close to shopping, restaurants, theme parks and main roads that made it easier to get around.
The local management were very helpful and pleasant to deal with.
As we are all over 50, we especially enjoyed the hot tub after a day of exploring.
I would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Dave & Sue for a wonderful stay."
Alvin, Winnipeg, March 2016
"Excellent Family Friendly Home. Great location, close to all the parks. Our family of 10 stayed at the Lake Berkley property and we could not have asked for a better location. The house was spacious and clean, each family member had their own space. Unlike a hotel room we were able to spread out, cook family meals and just unwind at the end of some very long days. The whole vacation was perfect and the Lake Berkley home really contributed to our ability to enjoy ourselves. The owners are responsive and very helpful. I give this property the highest ratings and recommendations."
