Introduction
Our villa is situated on the 12th fairway of the prestigious Highlands Reserve Golf Course. From the covered east facing pool, spa and deck you can enjoy the early morning sunshine whilst looking out across the green vistas of the course dotted with bright golden sand of the bunkers which are ready to trap any wayward shots. I should know I've been in all of them! On calm days you might even get so see hot air balloons passing over.

The pool features underwater LED lighting and has been completely resurfaced and retiled utilising the very best materials to provide a lifetime warranty.
The deck area also has a patio table and 6 chairs for enjoying those relaxed alfresco lunches as well as 4 sun loungers allowing you to stretch out and enjoy the sunshine; with obvious moderation of course. There are 2 additional Ottermans/stools as well as an outdoor towel rack.
The removable safety screen is provided to prevent small children from wandering into the unsupervised pool so you know your children are safe.
Free Gas BBQ
A 4-burner gas BBQ, with a side burner, is available to optimize eating and cooking in the open. We operate this on an honour system where if you use it then clean it and if you run out of gas, you replace it ready for the next guests.
It's less than $20 from the local Publix or Lowes. We always replace it twice a year so you're unlucky if it runs out, but please just think of the following guests.
