'THE VILLAGE' AT TUSCAN RIDGE'

Disney Mouse House can be found in 'The Village' at Tuscan Ridge on US Highway 27. Tuscan Ridge is split into two communities - 'Countryside' and 'The Village'.  Our luxurious villa is set in the up-market 'Village' side of Tuscan Ridge.  These expensive and limited exclusive homes were built by a designer-build local Orlando company called RD&C.  Not like any 'ordinary' or 'typical' Floridian villa, Disney Mouse House has many original features and was probably the most expensive 'build' in the community as it has had an exceptionally high number of up-grades to the property.  

Located in Kissimmee/Davenport area, it is very close to Disney World (within 12 minutes drive), and within 30 minutes of all the other major Orlando attractions.  Its central location and close proximity to the Interstate 4 (within 5 minutes drive) means you have easy access to take trips to both Atlantic and Gulf coasts e.g. Kennedy Space Centre, Cocoa Beach and Daytona on the east (Atlantic) coast and Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St Petersburg, Venice and Naples on the west (Gulf) coast. For those that want to venture further afield, come out of Tuscan Ridge, turn right onto US Highway 27 and drive for 225 miles on this road and you will end up in Miami!  (Well worth a day or two's trip!)  Nearby you will find a vast array of supermarkets, shops and restaurants.

THE VILLA

The villa's design is very much in an open-plan style that maximises and capitalises upon its spacious living conditions.  It is built on two floors and is very large and spacious with nearly 3200 square feet under cover.  It is of course fully air-conditioned (with heating too if ever required!) with two independent a/c systems - one for upstairs and the other for downstairs. The villa's design is quite unique in that it was designed with the home being built and centred around the luxurious enlarged pool with planter and waterfall found at the rear of the property.  Access to the pool and lanai can be made from three rooms (by sliding patio doors) - the king master bedroom, the reading room and the family room. (All doors and windows to the pool area are protected with child safety alarms).  The pool and lanai areas (both of which have been significantly enlarged) can be fully lit at night for your evening's entertainment and enjoyment.  In addition there is an outdoor hot and cold water shower by the pool. 

SPACIOUS LIVING

The main 'living' areas consist of a family room, reading room, dining room, breakfast nook and kitchen. In addition there is a separate utility room for washing and drying. The family room has a large 50 inch HD plasma wide-screen TV with digital cable, an HD compatible DVD player with many family and children's DVDs for your evening entertainment, a VCR and there is a 60 CD-changer hi-fi that is full of CDs.  The hi-fi also has a radio and twin cassette player. There is also a games room with pool table, air hockey table, foosball table and electronic darts.  All bedrooms have TVs with cable and ceiling fans and one twin bedroom has a Playstation2 with games and children’s board games.

The villa also has a high speed Internet connection (5 megabytes).  Unlike most villas, our villa has FREE telephone calls, not just local, but national (excluding Alaska) and international calls to the UK and Canada can also be made free of charge.  The reading room has many novels (too many to read in the space of your holiday) and has two large comfortable sofas.   This room overlooks, and has access to, the pool.   There are three dining areas.   These are: - the covered lanai for alfresco dining (a BBQ is also supplied) - the breakfast nook- and the formal dining room that can seat 10 people.  

In typical American style, the fully fitted kitchen overlooks both the breakfast and family rooms, meaning mum (or dad as the case may be!) can enjoy the company of the family whilst preparing food.  In addition to the usual facilities, such as cooker, fridge/freezer and microwave, you will find many additional items such as a toaster, coffee-maker, slo-cooker, blender and food processor to name but just a few!  As said, the kitchen is fully fitted in every way! There are two master bedrooms each with an en suite.  Both have cable TVs and a hair dryer.  The king master has a large walk-in wardrobe and in the master en suite there are twin vanity units, a Jacuzzi bath, and a large twin shower. (No arguing over who gets to use the shower first!)  The king master bedroom has a crib (that also converts to an intermediate/toddler bed).  In addition there is also a high chair - both are freely available for use.There are three further twin bedrooms (each with cable TV and ceiling fan), a family bathroom and a separate half-bath.

THE AMERICAN LIFESTYLE

 Unlike most holiday villas, our villa is set in a tranquil mixed community, i.e. it also has many US resident families.  Our American resident neighbours are all extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating.  If you need help or advice they will be pleased to assist.  

Our home provides you with the opportunity to not only see the typical US/Floridian family lifestyle but to experience it too - so go on, live it!
