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.

Surrounding the villa is conservation woodland and “Poohshouse” backs onto it. From the pool area you can see the beautiful butterflies and numerous red admiral birds feed from the bird feeder. Buzzards fly high over the area and an owl or two has been seen on the branches of the trees by the pool area as well as the small eagles. it is so relaxing to get up early morning and sit with your coffee and listen to the birds and the wild life.

In October, the houses are decorated in the Halloween theme and we have to make sure that we have plenty of sweets ready as the whole estate gets involved and whole families come dressed up, knocking at the door to “Trick or treat”. So far we have been lucky not to have had a trick played on us. (Thank heavens for Wall Marts endless supply of sweets, dressing up masks and witches hats, which I might add is open 24hrs of the day).

In December the whole estate comes to life again with all the villas decorated with twinkling Christmas lights over bushes and candy stick lights in the ground, there are blow-up snowmen, and even reindeers on the roof. Each year there seems to be competition to see who can get the brightest of displays and all friends and neighbours get involved in decorating the houses.

On New Years Eve we all head off to Disney for the New Years Eve firework display. AMAZING NIGHT although very packed it is nice to see the firework display and the excitement for both adults and children.
