We would definitely stay there again

We have just returned from a week staying at this lovely villa. It was very relaxing. Saw a Bob Cat one afternoon at the back. Maria was a pleasure to deal with and promptly returned our security deposit after we got home. Paying the extra for the late check out was ideal as our flight home was leaving late from Tampa so we didn’t have to hang around and find somewhere to go. We would definitely stay there again if we wanted to go to the Orlando area.

We have stayed at Hillsbay Hideaway on a number of occasions. We have been travelling to Orlando for over 20 years but Hillsbay is the only villa we have returned to year after year. Maria, Rob and their local management company were efficient, available if needed and a pleasure to communicate with. Hillsbay has everything you need to make your holiday a success. It’s well equipped, extremely private and quiet, clean and located in an area close to shops and restaurants.

A Great Place To Stay

I’d like to thank Maria and Rob, we have just returned from our holiday and had a wonderful time.
Contact with Maria was seamless, all enquiries were answered promptly, booking was easy. On our return Maria contacted us immediately to return our deposit refund.
The “Hideaway” is very peaceful, located in a quiet area of the community. Ideal to return to for some R and R after a hectic day in the parks.
We made lots of use of the pool area enjoying the south facing conservation views. The villa was spacious and comfortable with well-equipped rooms, fantastic air conditioning and fans.
Once again, thank you Rob and Maria – we’ll be returning (hopefully very soon).
Everything we could have wished for.

Hills Bay Hideaway was everything we could have wished for the villa itself was located in a ideal position with all the main attractions no more than 30 minuets away, very well maintained with all the amenities you would possibly need,very spacious and all the updates which have been done by the owners show they want all renters to have full Florida villa experience
The crowning glory has to be the pool area. Not overlooked by anyone beautiful views from sunrise to sunset great pool we will definitely return and would recommend to anyone
The perfect villa

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday. We had a fantastic time visiting all the parks and every evening we returned to our peaceful, spacious and comfortable villa. The accommodation is perfectly laid out with a bedroom on each corner so we all had our own privacy. The central large living room and kitchen were clean and tidy with all the facilities you could wish for. The pool area is the most tranquil place. You truly feel like you are miles from anywhere and not overlooked at all. I was really impressed at how close to Disney we were. Just 20-25 mins. We used google maps for our entire stay which was a godsend.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone.

Great villa in a quiet location with easy access to the main roads. Bright and airy feel about the place with everything that you need just like home from home.
Will definitely be looking at this villa on our next trip to Orlando!
Fabulous Villa in a Great Location.

After a long flight, we arrived at Hills Bay Hideaway to find it spotlessly clean. The pool area is fabulous, south facing and completely private, with no one overlooking from any direction. The pool itself is big in comparison to many, and provides views across a lake and conservation area.
The interior of the villa is bright and airy and has all the facilities that we required during our stay.
Disney was a 20 minute drive with the other major theme parks around a 30 minute drive away.
There is a Publix supermarket as well as a host of bars and restaurants 5 minutes away in Championsgate.
We took an Uber to the Millers Ale house at Championsgate which cost us $7 each way.
I would recommend Hills Bay Hideaway without reservation, and hope to return soon.
A must stay!

Our family of four spent the Christmas holidays at Hills Bay Hideaway, and it exceeded our expectations. Everything we could ask for and more! Gorgeous clean home (spotless!), spacious, very comfortable and a beautiful private location. When we originally booked, we were traveling with another family of three. Although they couldn't make it, the villa would have been the perfect size for all of us. The pool was a beautiful consistent temperature, very well maintained and the deck area is so spacious with plenty of patio furniture! All the beds are extremely comfortable, and the kitchen is very well equipped with everything one would need. We've stayed in a few Villas in the Florida area and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Thanks Rob and Maria for a wonderful stay!

Hi Rob and Maria.
Just a quick note to thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful villa. We were 5 adults and the villa was more than big enough for us. As mentioned in previous reviews we were really impressed with the cleanliness and the standard of decor which made the villa a great place to return to after a hard day in the parks. We had the master bedroom which was enormous (by English standards) and the bed was so comfy. The pool area was superb and we loved sitting out each morning having breakfast on the terrace. The kitchen was furnished to a very high standard with every appliance we could wish for and the Bridgewater Estate is lovely and quiet. We found getting onto the I4 each day very easy and getting to Disney or Universal parks was very simple. The Champions gate shopping area only a few minutes away had everything we needed for drinks / food / packed lunches etc and the Chillies restaurant and chinese takeaway there are worth a visit.
All in all we had a fantastic holiday and we will certainly look to stay at your villa again when we come back to Orlando.
Thank you so much once again.

Having taken our holidays at many rental properties over the years on our numerous visits to Florida, this villa has to be one of the very best that we have had the pleasure to stay in.
Looking at the description and photos on the website, the villa looked perfect for just the two of us - and it was.
Booking was very easy and we found the owners a pleasure to deal with. They had our dates available - so all we had to do was complete the paperwork and look forward to getting there.
We noticed when we arrived at the villa that unlike many holiday homes we had stayed at, this one had obviously been furnished to a high standard with many extras and nice touches that made most of the others look bare and uninviting. Each room was clean and tidy with nothing out of place; a credit to the owners and their Management Company.
The villa had plenty of room, with large bedrooms, a good-sized master bathroom, an open lounge with TV if you needed it and a pool area that we found hard to tear ourselves away from; this is the real highlight of the villa for us. The large pool deck had plenty of loungers & chairs and enjoyed a secluded spot by backing onto wooded land - so it was very private. The southerly aspect of the pool area meant it was bathed in sunshine throughout the day, although we did retreat to the covered lanai for some shade when things got too hot. We loved the outlook from the deck, with no adjacent properties being too close for comfort.
The villa is located in Bridgewater Crossing at Davenport, a picturesque community located not far from Highway 27 and Interstate 4. Bridgewater Crossing is just off Country Road 532 (Ronald Reagan Parkway) and where, just down this road at Champions Gate, you will find a Publix Supermarket, a Subway, gas stations, etc. The community is compact, well placed, nicely laid out and maintained to high standard - all good reasons why we are attracted to it.
So to sum up, we found that this villa met our needs perfectly and made our holiday the pleasure it was; we appreciated the attention to detail that made our stay something a bit special.
We have already arranged our return visit; we do not want to be disappointed should we choose a villa somewhere else and think – “We should have gone back to Hills Bay Hideaway”.
deffinately one to come back to!

We have stayed in the Davenport area for the past sixteen years, and Hillsbay Hideaway villa is the best one yet. We enjoyed its secluded location, the pool deck is very spacious, completely unoverlooked has a great view and there was plenty of wildlife to watch. We really enjoyed the large superior pool that received all day sun. Inside quality furnishings, comfortable beds, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, and spotlessly clean throughout. Owners Rob and Maria are very friendly and approachable and made us feel very welcome. We cannot wait to come back!

After a long journey it was nice to arrive very smoothly at the villa which was easily found off the I4 freeway. We arrived to a spotlessly clean home with the air con keeping it at a lovely temperature. The rooms are all well equipped with all apart from one having en-suite facilities. The pool was very clean and there was plenty of seats and loungers to relax on.
Day to day after a tiring day at the parks it was a relief to arrive at the villa knowing we could relax and the kids could chill out in the pool. The kitchen is well equipped and cooking and staying in some nights was no problem. The books, games and TV with DVD collection kept everyone entertained on a night if we stayed in. The streets roundabout are very quiet and the villa has really pleasant views to the rear over a lake, wooded area.
The villa is situated on a decent estate which has Publix supermarkets no more than 5 mins away by car. Also the main I4 freeway is 5 mins up the road, which has all the turn offs for Disney and Universal. Depending on traffic Disney is no more than 20 mins away depending on traffic, International drive likewise.
In summary this villa will do the job if you need a base whilst doing the parks and attractions. We would definitely book again.
