Here's what our guests have to say about Mickey's Magical Disney Villa: This is a beautiful home in a quiet residential area, yet just minutes from Walt Disney World (my personal favorite), shopping, fine restaurants and any kind of entertainment you would like to enjoy. The home is light and airy and very tastefully decorated. The owners have thought of everything for your personal comfort. Don't let this one get away. I know if you stay the first time you'll go back again. When we plan to return to the area, I'll check availability of this home first--it was wonderful. Ginny (Sandwich, Il USA)
Very roomy villa, comfortable. Private pool AND hot tub!!! Literally 10 minutes away from any attraction you can think of. Only an hour from Cocoa Beach, too! Highly recommend. Bob Bolson (Naperville, IL)
Pool and Hot Tub are great!!! Close to all attractions!!! Just an hour drive to Cocoa Beach!!! Great House!! You'll love it!!! Megan Maloney (Naperville, IL)
Wonderful house! Shopping and dining was close by and we enjoyed the peaceful evenings. Great for families, go to the parks early and have a nap or swim in the afternoon, back to the parks for the night life in the evening. We would recommend to everyone and we have!! The Long's (Illinois)
My family and I were very pleased with this home. It was clean, comfortable and charming. The location is excellent, just a few miles from all the Disney attractions, which allows you to stop back for a rest. Having a fully stocked kitchen and a washer and dryer was wonderful, especially with kids. The best feature for us was having our own pool and spa. We enjoyed eating poolside and late night swims after a long day. We have stayed in both a hotel and a condo in Orlando before but would never go that route again when we know we can have an entire home at such an affordable price! Kathy Byczynski (Aurora, IL) The house was beautiful!! It was close to all the attractions!! The pool and spa were wonderful!! korina (New York)
We loved the home! It's close location to everything without being "in the middle" of everything, and the pool/spa were a welcome relief after long days and long lines everywhere!!!! It was definitely a "home away from home" and we would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks Mary and Jeff!!!! Mike & Judy Van Houten (Carmel, Indiana)We stayed in this home the week of Thanksgiving 2002 and it was fantastic! There were 8 of us and we still had plenty of room to grow. We felt right at home the minute we walked through the doors! Everything you could possibly need at your fingertips including the location. It was so nice coming home every evening instead of a HOTEL! The kids loved it and we all enjoyed the pool and hot tub! Definetly a winner! Leigh Minter (Rifle, Colorado) This was our second visit to Mickey's Magical Villa. Just wonderful! Everything was close by and the Pool/Jacuzzi is a BIG PLUS for everyone. Highly recommend this home to everyone. We will be back a third time! Thanks again. Laura Rush (Geneva, Illinois) Great location, very clean and beautiful home. Pool and spa were great in the evening after being gone all day at attractions. The Sega game system kept our son busy too. A lot of movies available to watch if you want. Highly recommend this home!!! The LaSavage Family (Madison Wisconsin) We wouldn't do it any other way. Many people say that once you stay on Disney property, you'll never stay off-site again. I disagree. This house is perfect. You have your own pool and hot tub in a quiet neighborhood located 10 minutes from any of the Disney parks. Any restaurant you can think of is minutes away. The house is spacious - we shared it with another family (there were 10 of us in all) and there was plenty of room to spread out and relax. We packed light and utilized the washer and dryer off of the kitchen. We ate many of our meals at the house, saving on food expenses, and sparing ourselves of greasy, fast food all the time. This house is a wonderful reprieve from the hustle and bustle of busy hotels and theme parks. It has all of the amenities of home - coffee maker, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, can opener, hair dryer, utensils and cooking supplies - not to mention the awesome collection of movies and games. This house is truly a home away from home. The Cowans Big Rock, ILWe just finished staying at your house for the period 05/15/04 - 05/22/04. The house is so comfortable and very tastefully decorated. We all felt very much at home. The location is excellent for visiting Disney, Sea World and all the other local attractions. My favorite at the house was the lovely pool with the screened porch. We loved sitting out there in the early mornings and late into the evenings. Thanks for opening your home to us. I hope we will have the opportunity to visit again in the not so distant future. mary horsey (Woburn, MA)
The week we spent at Disney was made so much more enjoyable by having the privacy of your lovely house to go each night. Our grandchildren loved having the pool and spa, and our grandson especially loved the movies and games. The easy access to Disney and to restaurants was a plus. We really appreciated the extra information you provided, such as directions, brochures and coupon books. We look forward to visiting again in the future and will definetley recommend your home to our friends. Ramona Farrar (Watertown, TN) We had a wonderful time and the older kids spent hours enjoying the luxury of a pool & my 10 mo was insistent that we took him in any chance we got! The house facilities were great. Thanks for a great vacation and we would definitely look to the Hoyt's place again for our next Orlando trip. The Palmers The Palmers (New York, NY) We stayed at your house in July 2004 and loved it. The children loved the pool and were in it most of the time so the adults could sleep, read and visit. A welcome respite after the rigors and the Magic Kingdom. The children also loved the Play Station. We would definetley stay there again. Thank you for taking such good care of your home and for letting us stay! The Searcys We had a great time. weather was great and just made it in between all the hurricanes. House was very cozy, with tv's in all rooms, DVDs and VCR movies for the kids to watch. We have typically gone to Orlando 2-3 times for the past 7 yrs. This house has to be one of the best we have stayed at. The Lech Family, Rockaway NJ.
The house was perfect for our two families. There was nine of us all together and we all had a bed to sleep in. The parks were very close and easy to get to. The kids loved having a tv in all the rooms and the parents loved the hot tub at night after a long day. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Jeff and Mary,
Thank you very much for sharing your home with our family. We had a wonderful vacation. Our first trip to Disney World was even more magical than we ever dreamed. The magic in the villa encircled our hearts and filled our trip with beautiful memories. It was especially nice to come "home" each night. Our visit was the most relaxing vacation we have had in years. Each personal touch in the villa creates a most excellent atmosphere. We enjoyed the board games, relaxing in the spa, and especially waking to Mickey and the other characters of the decorations. The community of Indian Ridge Oaks was very quiet and well maintained. Neighbors waved as we drove past and seemed very friendly. We felt very safe and secure at Indian Ridge Oaks. My husband also found navigating roadways to Disney properties very quick and problem free. Thank you for the short-cut information and all of the planning resources you mailed in advance.
Thank you for helping to make my dreams come true and for the wonderful Disney memories. Marie Steinbacher Woburn, MA April 2005

We had a wonderful time last week - the house was perfect and we especially enjoyed the pool and hot tub, especially after the long days at the parks. My sons couldn't believe that practically every Disney movie they ever wanted to see was in your collection, and the few nights they managed to stay awake, they watched several. A great time was had by all.
Thanks again Bryn, Manju and family Brooklyn, New York April 2005
Hi,
Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed staying at your beautiful home the past 12 days. We have been on site in Disneyworld many times but staying at your home was the most enjoyable time we have experienced. My 5 year old grandson developed fins while staying cool in the pool and we were all amazed at how close everything was from theme parks to restaurants. This experience has surely swayed us away from staying on site in the future. Again, it was a pleasure visiting your beautiful home and intend to do it again in the future. With Regards, Tony Weglinski and Family Reading, PA
Jeff and Mary,
We have just returned from our vacation and your house. It was great coming back each night to our own space. The house was great and it was nice to be able to use the kitchen if we needed. The hot tub and pool came in handy after long days at the park. Disney World was just a short drive and very convenient. If we come back to the Disney World area, we will be staying here again. Thank you again The Rohrbaugh Family Dear Mary and Jeff,
We stayed at your beautiful home the week of July 10th, 2005 and couldn't have asked for a nicer experience. The home was so clean and so equipped with everything we could have needed and more. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed the pool, and the late night swims. We especially loved being able to still see the stars at night, but not be bothered by mosquitos, etc. What a treat! The information you shared about Disney and surrounding areas was priceless, since we have never been there with our children, now 14 and 10. It was the perfect time to go. On the last day, after sadly having to leave your home, we went on a short day trip until our plane was to leave... Wonderworks was a really neat place to spend a few hours, lots of hands on fun illusions, etc, and all in an upside building. Plus it was air conditioned! It was a nice compliment to having done all we could fit in at Disney and Universal during the week. Thanks for all your help and information, and although we've never met, I feel like I know you since you were so welcoming and full of helpful hints. We would love to come again in the future. The Phelan Family
Your home was absolutely fabulous!!!! This was our second time in 2 years we have stayed in your home, and we love it....we have gone down with my sister and her family of 3 young children, and our family with our son 19 and a friend of his...The hot tub was the best on those chilly evenings...loved the pool.The only time I contacted the management company was to confirm that we had arranged with you for a late check out on Saturday, and they were great... February 2006 We had a wonderful time at your home. We went with our 3 children (6,4 and 1) and also brought Grandma. It was wonderful to have so much room for everyone. Everything we could think of was provided from the pack & play crib and high chair to the beach towels! The kids enjoyed swimming and we loved using the hot tub after they went to bed. It was very helpful having a washer and dryer. We ate a lot of meals at the house (big savings) and didn't feel so bad paying for all the character dining at Disney. It was so easy to get to all the parks - we went twice a day with a break back at the house. Thanks for all the information. Brian enjoyed golfing at Mystic Dunes and at a Disney course. The kids have been talking since we left about going back. We can't wait to go back for another vacation when the baby is a little older! Brian, Colleen, Peggy and Family Illinois, USA Dear Mary and Jeff,
A wonderful time was had by all the week of April 1st, 2006. Your home is beautiful, immaculate, very spacious and sooooooo much fun. As a matter of fact none of us were too smart because we realized, after the fact, that we could have saved a whole lot of money as the kids had such a fabulous time in the pool and watching several of the hundreds of videos that were available that we didn't need to find adventure elsewhere. And, let me put in a plug for the hot tub. After walking 40 miles each day in the parks that's all we could think about on our way home. It was the perfect therapy. Who would ever want to stay in a Disney hotel if they could stay at the Hoyt House. Needless to say we loved every moment of it. Thank you again Al & Joyce Kruse, Erin, Jon, Lauren & Luke Wise. Illinois, USA Hi Mary and Jeff,
Your place was was exceptional. Everything you could think of that you needed was there to use. The beds were so comfortable - everything was decorated so nice -the kids loved it. Brandon and Dylan loved having the Sega games in there room as well as the T.V and Nicole just loved having her own room. Jacob of course, just almost 2 years, didn't complain at all. I would love to do this again and I have told my family and friends how wonderful your place is. Thanks you so much for providing this service. Thanks - The Franciscys' Rudy, Deb, Nicole, Brandon, Dylan and Jacob Sandwich,We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The accommodations were wonderful, the house was very clean and the location was perfect. We would definitely stay again! Thank you for all the wonderful tips and restaurants found in the binders left at your home. They were very helpful. Ann Marie MA -We had the most relaxing vacation ever staying in your home. We have stayed in Florida to do the parks many times with our children, but never as comfortably as this time. Our children are now grown and wanting friends to join us. We knew staying in a hotel would feel cramped so when we heard of your home we were very excited. I felt so comfortable the minute I stepped in the front door. There is a very open yet cozy feel to your place. I even enjoyed doing some of our laundry and cooking a couple of meals. The pool, videos, and games gave us more personal family time than a hotel would have. And we were nice and close to any outside activity we were in the mood to visit. Thank you so much for the best vacation ever! Rick and Carol M. IL -
We LOVED this house! Everything was very clean and updated. The pool and hot-tub were beautiful and our favorite part was all the helpful information at the house about all of the area attractions. Can't wait to go back!! Lauren (St. Charles, IL) Jeff & Mary: This was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting Florida! We had a great time. We found everything here that we needed. The pool and hot tub were a hit with everyone. We hope to return in the future. Thanks! Doug and Missy and Family Concord, Michigan Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. With our three children (15,14,13) it was just perfect. We enjoyed the pool & spa each evening. Your place was located perfect for us to visit each park. Again, I am so glad we found you - This was an awesome trip! The Greens Pennsylvania (Lancaster Co) It's always sunny when you are at the Hoyts! Warm welcoming and relaxing...indeed the only place to stay in Florida. Rose B.
Had a great time, was relaxing to come home after a long day at Disney and jump in the pool or hot tub to unwind....Very nice home.....Would stay again in a heart beat...Thanks for all the helpful hints.... Thanks againRob CanadaDear Hoyt Family: Thank you so much for the use of your lovely vacation home as part of the Disney Trip Package we were lucky enough to win at the Delnor Charity Ball in November. Everything here has been magical including the weather! : ) Our whole family has been having a wonderful time. Thank You again! The McGroarty Family Geneva, IL We truly enjoyed our stay in your home. Quiet, comfortable, clean--we felt so relaxed after the long days at the parks. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. It was so close to the parks and shopping, yet so serene. We'd love to come back and have told our friends and family about it as well. Thanks again!
Lori--NY-- We just completed a 2 nite stay at this truly lovely vacation home, Mickey's Magical Villa. This home is a newer home (actually looks brand NEW) that is well maintained. All important and helpful information is clearly posted within the home as well as contained in the welcome packet. The layout of the house is extremely well done and furnishings are high quality and comfortable. The kitchen is truly equipped with great cookware and casual ceramic dishware. There are really cute Mickey and Disney touches everywhere from the knobs on the kitchen cabinets to the shower curtain to lamps in the bedroom. The lanaii and spa/pool area is wonderful and DO get the heat for the water in the winter! It was a slice of heaven! We were traveling with 3 young children (4, 18 months, and 9 months) and wanted to be able to go to the Magic Kingdom in the morning, bring the kids back for a nap in the afternoon and then return to the park for the late afternoon and evening. It worked out perfectly! This home is easy to find and is a short drive to groceries, restaurants, and truly just minutes from the Disney properties. Just a quick note about Giordano's Pizza...........they deliver, it was FABULOUS, but when they say "stuffed" they don't mean the crust! It is STUFFED and is 2-3 inches thick! But WOW - was it good!! Mary was a perfect "landlady", extremely helpful and very professional. Even though our reservations were short notice, she worked with us and got our packet to us in very quick time. She was an absolute delight to work with. We especially appreciated the "short cut" directions to Disney. Even though our visit was short, it was made really wonderful because of this beautiful, comfortable home and the people that own it! Christie - Tampa, Florida
