About this rental
Welcome to Happy Oak Villa... our Happy Place, and soon to be yours too! The newest property to join the Breezy Oak Villas family. Photos taken January 2023.
Also see our other properties on our website: Breezy Oak Villa, with an identical floor plan – located only two doors away, with 50+ 5-Star Reviews, and Pleasant Oak Villa, with 40+ 5-Star Reviews!
Located on the edge of a beautiful conservation area, with a yard backed by forest and lush landscaping, this terrific villa provides tranquility, privacy and safety, yet is a short fifteen minute drive to Disney World. You’ll cherish the memories you make in this comfortable and beautiful 4 bed/2 bath Orlando vacation rental.
Situated on a on a large pie-shaped lot at the back of a cul-de-sac, Happy Oak Villa will bring peace and tranquility to your vacation! You’ll love the care and attention to detail that goes into this beloved Florida home. Everything is considered, planned and provided to make your stay the best it can be.
The Villa
This fully air-conditioned villa comfortably sleeps eight people (on recent quality mattresses) in four bedrooms, each with its own closet. (We don't use a sofa bed to increase capacity). Three double bedrooms (1 King, Twin/Double Bunk, 2 Twins) and the main bath (sink, toilet, tub w/shower) are located on one side of the home, while the master bedroom (Queen Double Pillow-Top Mattress) with ensuite (sink, toilet, large walk-in shower with direct access to the lanai) and walk-in closet is located on the other.
You’ll find the kitchen well-equipped with quality appliances, cutlery and cookware for family meals, far beyond typical area vacation home standards. New Quartz Countertops and hand-made Mexican Tile BackSplash accent the kitchen! Quality furniture, electronics, and games room allow you to enjoy your vacation in style. The open layout encourages everyone sharing and enjoying their time together, while the four bedrooms allow them to retreat to their own private space when desired.
Private Pool & Hot Tub
The pool at Happy Oak Villa is a wonderful bonus you'll love to use. Enjoy the 89º degree water (from optional pool heating) while listening to tropical birds in the forest beyond, serenading you as your troubles float away on a gentle Florida breeze. In the evenings, wind down in the relaxing hot tub on the expanded pool deck. Both pool and hot tub are professionally maintained for you. All you have to do is enjoy them!
The lounge opens out to the Lanai (covered deck) which overlooks the SouthWest-facing pool, covered by a screen enclosure to keep out insects and debris. A separate entrance gives access to the pool from the master bath. Jump out of the pool and into the shower to warm up and rinse off!
Wonderful Privacy
Unlike many vacation homes, Happy Oak Villa provides great privacy with no rear neighbours! The pool overlooks a large yard, bordered by a 6' solid fence on two sides and a small pond & tropical forest across the wide back. No one will be watching you in your pool, and you won't be looking at them in theirs either! No barking dogs, or obnoxious or noisy neighbors to bother you... just the sounds of nature and your own family splashing in the clear water of your very private pool under the warm Florida sun!
(As you study vacation rentals, pay close attention to the proximity of neighbors to the pool enclosure, especially on the side of the yard. You’ll discover that a ‘private’ pool usually isn’t so private after all, even at most homes without rear neighbors.)
Security and Convenience
Amenities like Fibre-Optic Internet and Streaming TV, with Hi-Speed Wifi, TVs in every bedroom, a games room with a gorgeous slate pool table, quality foosball table and commercial arcade video game with hundreds of games, provide hours of fun for our guests.
Even though this home is located in a very safe area, we take the security and safety of our guests seriously. Emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, pool safety alarms, smoke detectors, remote monitored alarm system, and electronic door locks, along with remote-monitored heating, A/C, hot water, electrical, internet, pool pump and heating, mean we can promptly provide service if needed (often before guests are aware of an issue).
Location
Just outside of the tourist zone around Disney World, Happy Oak Villa provides privacy and safety for your family, in an area where you can enjoy an evening stroll by the lake, and your kids can play outside unattended. There are no gates at the entrance of Thousand Oaks – we don’t need them! The best way to be safe in the Orlando area is to stay in a very safe area.
On most evenings you can hear the fireworks going off at Epcot from our doorstep! On a light traffic day you can drive from the villa to the parking lot of the Magic Kingdom (at the far north end of the Disney resort) in less than 15 minutes!
Happy Oak Villa is close enough for convenience, but off the beaten path enough to provide you with all the safety, rest and relaxation you need!
OPTIONAL ITEMS:
• During winter months, optional POOL HEATING is usually required at $22/day. We set our heaters warmer and run them longer than most area properties.
• We have a playpen, two strollers, and a high chair available for guest use (please bring your own baby blankets) $5/day.
• We have a large propane fired BBQ with appropriate tools available $5/day. (Others provide 'free' BBQ's but you must run out & buy propane! We provide 2 tanks, operating and a spare so you never run out!)
• Full-size Crib, Bikes, Scooters and other specialty items are easily pre-arranged for our guests at competitive rental rates, with delivery to & pick-up at the villa.
When you stay with us you will get an exclusive online Reservations Management web page on our system, where you can review reservation details, make payments, view and download custom maps, and get an electronic copy of our home manual.
This home is Kid Friendly & Children Welcome, Non smoking only, and with no stairs is suitable for elderly or infirm and wheelchair accessible.
Unique Benefits
The huge back yard and private pool area with no rear neighbours except tropical Florida Forest provides an exceptional experience! One so much above the Orlando vacation rental norm. The enlarged pool deck with EIGHT loungers and 5-Person Hot Tub, and extra large Lanai feels like your own private mini-resort! Facing SouthWest, it gets lots of sun and large Lanai provides plenty of shade as you relax and enjoy a meal over looking the pool.
As experienced visitors to the central Florida region with our own family, plus additional knowledge and expertise (our son worked for Disney as a cast member at Epcot), we’ve welcomed over 800 couples and families to our properties since 2009. We've set up our home to make visiting central Florida fun, stress-free, and comfortable for couples and families just like yours.
When you stay with us, you get personalized service from a family who knows the area and the parks, and knows what you need to have a fabulous Florida family vacation, plus the professional assistance of skilled business owners with 25 years experience in customer service. We take great care of our guests!
• No premiums for paying by credit card. It keeps guest’s payments safe!
• Complete kitchen, towels and bed linens, plus separate pool towels provided!

• We provide home supplies for your use, including
- Toilet paper
- Paper towels
- Dishwashing Liquid
- Dishwasher Detergent
- Dish cleaning brush and scrub pads

Most vacation rentals do not, forcing you to buy and transport supplies (often much more than you need) while on vacation.
• We make 'extras' that only some guests will want or need optional, so that you only pay for what you will use, instead of building it into our nightly rates and charging ALL guests for them.
Why Kids Love It
Our guests tell us that their kids LOVE the pool and deck area, spending countless hours enjoying the Florida sun and the great atmosphere provided by our very special back yard!

Couples, Snowbirds and ‘Best Prices’:
Due to the quality and privacy of our vacation homes, we have many couples who book with us (many on honeymoon)! Most snowbirds simply looking to enjoy Florida weather will likely find other properties (often more economical because they are smaller, simpler, and not so close to the theme parks) more suitable, although we DO receive a number of cherished snowbird guests each year.
We can not provide discounts for smaller groups or longer-term guests. Instead, we provide everyone with the best value we can. Unlike hotels, everyone receives our ‘best price’. We do not discriminate.

About the host: We are Robert & Donna. We are a friendly, outgoing couple from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Western Canada. We have been married for 35+ years.
Robert designs and builds new houses, and Donna is a very successful recreational travel trailer sales representative.
Robert is a creative whiz with a strong design and writing orientation, and Donna is a master chef with a huge library of cookbooks, and a very strong artistic and creative flair as well.
We LOVE travelling in Florida, and love our villa located just south of Walt Disney World. We have spent a great deal of time upgrading and tweaking it in order to make our guests feel pampered and comfortable. Without doubt, our villa has the nicest landscaping in our entire subdivision, and one of the most private yard and pool areas to be found in the entire Disney area.
We have three (now) adult children, the eldest who worked as a cast member at Epcot in Disney's International Program for a year. Robert is a bit of a theme park buff, and very knowledgeable about the Central Florida area. All of this allows him to provide excellent advice to our villa guests about their trips; what to do, where and when to go, how much time to allow, things suitable for children, etc.
We also understand how to 'do' Disney on a small budget, or a big one if that is your taste, and are happy to share our advice and experience with our many guests.
Why this property? Happy Oak Villa, the newest addition to our property family has just undergone extensive renovating and redecorating. Our first guests are enjoying the property right now, and in many ways get to enjoy an essentially brand new home!
We are so grateful for the trust placed in us by guests who have already booked their stay in this new property, simply on the quality of what we have provided in our first two vacation homes for over a decade now!
Happy Oak Villa represents the completion of a full circle journey in our Florida Vacation Rental Home adventure! We first stayed in this exact home on holidays in 2003. It was the very first vacation rental home we ever saw, or stayed in. The experience was so wonderful that we decided we wanted to share it with others. When the opportunity to purchase Breezy Oak Villa, which was the exact same floor plan by the exact same builder and only two doors down on the exact same street, we were able to make our commitment to the vacation rental business sight-unseen because of our original experience at what would eventually become Happy Oak Villa (so named because the area is Donna's Happy Place)!
Happy Oak Villa and Breezy Oak Villa are very much alike, although each has their own unique features. We have full photos of Happy Oak Villa available on our website. These two properties present a terrific opportunity for families who are 'Togethering', an increasing trend in travel where extended families meet and share a vacation together, and Disney World and central Florida provides a wonderful destination for this type of trip.
This property already has a resurfaced pool, new A/C, hot water and pool heating systems in place, with more improvements to come.
The back yard has no rear neighbours, overlooking conservation forest and features a south-west facing pool deck which was expanded outwards on the side opposite the house, providing additional space for loungers and a high-quality multi-jet 5-person hot tub for the ultimate relaxation on warm Florida evenings! Like Breezy Oak Villa, Happy Oak Villa has a large Lanai (covered deck) where you can enjoy dining outside sheltered from the elements, or simply relaxing in the shade and watching your family in the pool.
Like all of our properties, the master bedroom ensuite bath has direct access out to the lanai, allowing easy access to the bathroom and shower from the pool deck.
