Another wonderful stay
Having stayed before we knew we had nothing to worry about and that the villa would be there large, clean, well maintained and equipped. Although it was just the two of us we enjoyed the choice of lounges and can really appreciate how it is perfect for multi generational or 2/3 families sharing. We spent most of our time at the villa enjoying the large private sun deck and beautifully heated pool. You can always get shade if needed on the comfy outdoor sofa and there is much wildlife watching to be had as you overlook a nature area to the rear. If you are reading this as a first time booker terrified of booking directly I was exactly the same, but this time I had no concerns I knew Martin & Julie’s lovely home would be waiting for us with no issues and we would be looked after well by them in the UK and Paul the local property manager if we had any issues. Another wonderful stay, thanks to Martin & Julie for sharing their holiday home, we hope to be back again before too long!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and the kind words about our home. It was so nice to welcome you back and we totally get what you are saying about relaxing by the pool and enjoying the wildlife. We hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic Villa
I write this review not as a guest but as an associate but now I consider myself a friend. I first came across Martin on a few FB groups, probably about 10 years ago. Over the years I contacted him on numerous occasions about a variety of Orlando related things and I always found him to be super helpful. Unfortunately Goofys Golfing Getaway was always too big for my family of 3 to stay in so I never actually got to see the villa, but all that changed a few weeks ago and it did not disappoint. My husband & I are regular travellers to Florida, our daughter recently married an American and moved there. Often over the last few years Martin and Julie have been in Florida at the same time as us and we always said that we should meet up and finally we did. I invited myself to their villa as I said I’d love to visit it 😊 Martin and Julie were fantastic hosts, a good cup of English tea and goodies from Publix were waiting for our arrival. The villa is everything that the pictures and reviews show and say. It is very well maintained and so spacious and spotlessly clean. The rooms are all really well furnished, and any damage that may happen during a guests stay is repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Every last detail has been thought about so that a stay there feels like a proper home from home. But it doesn’t stop there! Martin and Julie are constantly trying to do better and in every room they showed us they wanted honest feedback as to what or how they could improve. Our answer everytime was ‘you can’t, you’ve got everything covered’ It’s obvious that this villa and their guests are very important to them and I can honestly say that I don’t think you’ll get a better place to stay in that area and you certainly won’t get better hosts. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Martin & Julie and I feel honoured that they allowed me to snoop around their lovely home. Keep up the fantastic work guys 🥰
Thank you so much Sharon for those lovely words. It was fantastic meeting you both, albeit it’s taken far too long to actually do it 😁. As we said to you we always want honest feedback if there is anything we can do better and after, not only you stopping by, but also two other visits from people involved in the short term rental industry, we do wonder if we are a little bit over the top (which surely isn’t a bad thing from a guest perspective) as we keep getting told our home is immaculate and nothing needs improving!
3 Generations!
In total there were 12 members of the same family from ages 74 (Grumps) to 2 (Edie) and many in between and there was something for everyone! To be honest, we can only echo previous reviews in that this lovely villa lacks nothing in terms of attention to detail. Whether it be lazing by or in the pool to playing pool in the fabulously equipped Games Room. Facilities were exceptional. The Grandparents (ie Grumps and Nanny) took one of the downstairs bedrooms, away from the rest of the family upstairs. The only comment (and this is purely an observation and NOT a criticism) is that Nanni struggled to step over the bath to use the shower in the downstairs bathroom. Unfortunately she is not able to climb stairs anymore, so we were unable to use a walk-in shower on the first floor. Away from Orlando, we visited New Orleons and Miami which are both within driving range (if you like driving! Any minor issues were dealt with immediately by Martin or the on site Maintenance Team. In summary, a truly exceptional Villa, the likes of which we have never experienced before. Many thanks from us all.
Thank you so much for the informative and honest review. We really appreciate your comments and so glad you enjoyed our home
Fantastic Villa
We have had a wonderful stay in your beautiful villa. So well set out and has everything you could possible wish for. Very sad to leave Thank you so much Martyn, Su and the gang
Thank you for the kind words and means a lot especially coming from former villa owners so glad you enjoyed our home over the festive period.
An amazing third stay
This was our third stay at Goofy’s Golf Getaway and it certainly won’t be our last - we stayed for 16 nights this time - it’s never long enough, as it’s so enjoyable & goes far too quickly. Martin and Julie simply couldn’t be better hosts. From providing all the necessary resources and pre-arrival information, to being on hand throughout the stay - they are both communicative and kind. Martin and Julie even stayed up to ensure we arrived at the villa safely which demonstrates how they often go the extra mile for their guests. We were greeted with a special gift (thank you once again) and it truly felt like we were walking into our second home. As we arrived during the week of Halloween, the villa was decorated with lots of wonderful decorations which was a lovely touch. Situated in the stunning location of Providence, the villa is close enough to all the amenities and theme parks while still providing a space to truly rest and relax in the beautiful Floridian sun. We thoroughly enjoyed our days by the extra large pool, whereby you are not overlooked - it’s so peaceful - offering us the opportunity to step away from the hustle and bustle of the parks, and unwind. This 6 bedroom villa equally provides the space to enjoy family time together. It is spacious, with plenty of areas to socialise together as a family. We particularly enjoy the relaxing room at the front of the house as well as the games room in the garage which brings out our competitive sides, with a table football table, air hockey, darts - they also have games consoles and much more - there’s truly something for everyone. The maintenance and upkeep of the villa is second to none. Each time we arrive at the villa you can see how much love and effort Martin and Julie place into this home to ensure that guest experience and satisfaction remains at a high - it really is maintained to a high level. We’re already looking forward to our next stay at Goofys Golf Getaway later this year to make more memories together in this beautiful villa. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this villa to anyone wanting to book their next holiday in Orlando - you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much for a fantastic and such detailed review of our home it is really appreciated. We are so grateful to you for choosing our villa for your holidays and we always look forward to welcoming you back 🙂
Best holiday ever!
We have just returned from a flawless and unforgettable fortnight at Goofy’s Golf Getaways and can say with genuine sincerity that we had the most amazing holiday. The care given by the hosts Martin and Julie is exceptional - you can tell the love they have poured into every element of the villa, there is no detail left overlooked while you are there, but also the pre-holiday information they are provide you with is so thorough, user friendly and gives you a sense of how much Martin and Julie want to ensure that you enjoy your holiday. We travelled as a party of 7 - 4 adults and 3 teenagers - to celebrate a special ‘zero’ birthday for one of our party and the memories made will never be forgotten. Even the teenagers were so occupied by the amenities provided at the villa that they rarely went on their devices; they even socialised with us every evening in the games room and the during the day by the pool! Much valued family time! So in amongst Florida’s well-known theme parks which are close by, there is also plenty to do at the villa as well. Though my secret guilty please was sneaking out on the pool deck before anyone else woke up and reading in silence before the day began. We can’t wait to come back! Everything about the villa is perfect and we can’t thank Martin and Julie enough for helping make a dream holiday come true!
Thank you so much for this fantastic and detailed review. We are so glad you enjoyed your time in Florida and at our home (especially for the special birthday) and made special memories.
22/7/25 - 5/8/25
As a family of five with three children we have just arrived back from a wonderful two week stay at Goofy’s golf getaway. This is the second time we have stayed last time was due to be our holiday of a lifetime, we’re back two years later! Goofy golf getaway has everything excellent location the house is large even with three grown-up boys we’re not on top of each other at all. We enjoyed darts matches most nights! The highlight for me is sitting on the deck in the morning enjoying the sunshine and watching the boys playing in the pool. The house has everything you could need, the kitchen is well stocked Martin and Julie have seriously thought of everything. This time I enjoyed the gym at the clubhouse and the boys enjoyed the pool and the slides, we visited three times. The staff there were accommodating and very friendly. I can’t think of anything GGG doesn’t have. I just wished I had a holiday home as beautiful of this, Martin and Julie are very lucky indeed. Thank you for once again letting us stay in your beautiful home. I do hope we will be back 🥰
Thank you for this fab review Sarah, it is much appreciated and we also hope you come back for a third stay 🙂
Back Again!!
We stayed at Goofy's from 27/4 to 22/5. As always, the villa was perfect. This was our fourth visit over four years. This time, it was me, our youngest daughter, her son, his girlfriend, and our youngest grandson. Yes, we could have booked a smaller villa, but why compromise quality for quantity? GGG is still the best villa we have ever used. Martin and Julie are wonderful hosts, and the villa is lovingly cared for. We also love Providence; the location is ideal for any route that needs to be taken. The villa is spacious, the pool area is larger than average, with plenty of chairs and loungers. As a bonus, there's plenty of wildlife to be seen while sitting on the pool deck. A fantastic, well-maintained, and well-equipped villa. We're already booked in for next year! So, in the words of Arnie....we'll be back. Thank you, Martin and Julie xxxx
Thank you Bev, always lovely to have you at our home and look forward to welcoming you back next year
Amazing
We have just returned from our stay at Goofys Golf Resort, Providence. We had a fab time and the villa was fantastic, everything on the website was accurate from the inside to outside, beds were comfy and had all the necessities we could need. Martin was also a great host and always at hand if we needed anything. As a group of 10 (2 families) we couldn’t have asked for anything better. We didn’t hire a car, we just used uber and lyft which were easy to use and not expensive if anyone was worried about transport, we even think it was cheaper if you take into account insurance, petrol and parking charges. We will definitely be staying again and would highly recommend the Villa. Thank you again Martin for everything. Anne Marie
Thank you for the lovely review and also good to know about using Uber/Lyft as maybe another option for guests considering Goofys Golf Getaway. We look forward to welcoming you back
WOW !! WOW!! .
On arrival the villa far exceeded our expectations. It looked amazing on the photos and YouTube but was actually better than we expected. As you enter you get the feel of home and a much loved place from the hand painted themed bedrooms to the cocktail room and games room. The upper floor provides gaming chairs and ps4 c this villa really offers something for everyone. The pool area is spacious with seating area and plenty of sun loungers. Eating outside is a must and all the crockery items you would need are supplied. The kitchen is so stylish and well equipped again all the crockery is of high quality and plentiful. This place blew us away, Martin and Julie the owners have thought of everything even providing things like ponchos, strollers, high chair and an abundance of high quality pool towels, bed linen and bathroom towels. Absolutely NO negatives to this villa other than 3 weeks wasn’t long enough. A lovely welcome letter , birthday card and gift was much appreciated , another great touch from Martin and Julie. I would highly recommend this villa, it is definitely the best we have stayed in.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review, it is really appreciated and thank you for being such lovely guests and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
