Yes that’s the one. It’s on the 192 just after joining from the H27. Very handy as you drive past it getting from parks to villa.

We've stayed in Highlands Reserve many, many times and gets the thumbs up from us. Excellent location, Publix and big Walmart close by, excellent access for the 192 or the I4 but tucked away from any traffic which makes it a nice quiet area to relax in.
Easy to get to Disney too with some nice back road routes to avoid the rat race of the 192 getting there.

Try it, you won't be disappointed. We book through Debbies Villas who have an excellent range of villas - highly recommended.

Try pricing "DIY" style you might be surprised. Debbies Villas plus a decent flight with BA, Virgin, Norwegian etc. then a car from Andy at Discount Florida Car Hire, you might find you can do it that way and hand pick what you want for a similar price.

We've stayed at Windsor Palms - clean, quiet, gated - great location. Would definitely stay there again.

How is security at Highlands with it not being gated ?

No issue from what we've seen. I don't see gated communities as been anything fancy, more of a pain in the bum typing in key codes reaching out of your car window to get in, especially when it's raining .

Highland is a nice area and whilst I cannot comment on crime levels there are a lot of residents there rather than just holiday homes so its good place to be (in our opinion).

Hopefully 4th time in Highlands this Oct, if the 3 bed fits your requirements & has a decent sized pool then I'd be booking...

This was my thought, when the other half and family arrived (she flew earlier than me) she had a few issues getting into the villa (her fault ) and the locals where very helpful, I would definitely go back

Another vote for Windsor palms, much closer to everything so you won’t spend too much time at traffic lights etc on the 192 - great if your a rope dropper. Will cost a lot less in gas too!
