hi
narrowed down our villa search to two.
calabay parc and southern dunes.
I have read good reviews about both but iam a bit concerned southern dunes might be a bit far out for the parks. anyone know if that is true.
thanks

Southern Dunes is a bit further down from Calabay but its only 5 or 10 mins more with no traffic.
If you are planning to go and return to parks some days then prob be best to select closer to the parks

IMO Southern Dunes is too far out. Calabay is on US 27. Lots of restaurants and Walart etc within 5 mins drive. Also quicker access to the I4. We love Champions Gate area and it is the only place we stay but wouldn't go any further. Have you checked them out on Google maps?

Having stayed at Southern Dunes we did not find it that far out. We liked being able to walk to the club house for a drink or Walmart which is just outside the gate plus there are quite a few places to eat nearby including the original Manny's. Posner Park is also near the I4 which has increased in size over the years and also has a cinema.

We found Southern Dunes such a long drive home after a day at the parks. We always go to Highlands Reserve now.
