    Thought I would write an article on this site about something I am passionate about.  I am writing about Glenbrook Resort.  This is a community which my family and I visit regularly and even bought a property there.

    Glenbrook resort is situated on Highway 27approximately 2 miles North from the 192.  It is approximately 10/15 minutes drive to the Disney gates, 20/25 minutes to Seaworld and Aquatica and within 30 minutes of the other main attractions in the Orlando area. Its only about 6 miles from Disney and on a clear night from a good vantage point you can even see the Disney fireworks.

    Apart from the parks there are many other things to see and do in the central Florida area within an hours drive from Glenbrook.  For golfers there are dozens of courses within less than one hour.

    A 24/7 Walmart store is 3/4 minutes drive away and there are more convenient shops.  Within easy walking distance you will find a Walmart, CVS, Sweetbay, Italian restaurant (eat in and take away). There are many well known restaurant names within a 5/6 minute drive.

    Glenbrook is a community of approximately 250 homes, mainly 4 bedroom but with some 5,6 and 7 bedroom homes also. All homes have their own pool. Most homes are vacation homes but there are some residential properties.  It is described as a resort due to there being a clubhouse with communal pool, tennis and sand volleyball courts and a small gym.  Inside the clubhouse is a computer with internet access and large screen TV.  There is also a small games room.  All of these facilities are complimentary to guests staying at Glenbrook.  There is also free DVD rental and help and advice.  There is a small lake on Glenbrook and free fishing rod hire is available from the clubhouse.

    Glenbrook is a peaceful community on which all building work was completed early in 2006. It is very well maintained through the efforts of an active Home Owners Association which ensures that owners comply with HOA rules to make sure that the community is well maintained and presented at all times. This means that everything is how it was intended to be with no eyesores!

    The Disney area has many communities with villas for rental.  Many of these are lovely with fantastic villas. Glenbrook in my opinion ranks very highly against all of these.  We bought a new 7 bedroom villa in December 2005, just as the community was nearing completion.  We rent it most of the year, mainly to Americans from the mid west.  The feedback we have received has been fantastic and there have been many, many wonderful vacations there.  We have many guests who return each year or every other year.  Buying a villa in Glenbrook was one of the best decisions we have made.  We visit twice each year from the UK and have enjoyed many fantastic family vacations.

    Please feel free to take a look at our villa through the link to our website. You will also find links to some of the main attractions  We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the area or our villa.

    Best regards
