If you are looking for a wheelchair accessible holiday villa in Orlando for the disabled (handicapped), then please
read on.
Our luxurious, wheelchair accessible holiday villa is situated in the new and exclusive gated community of The Abbey,
West Haven, Orlando, Florida. We are ideally located just a few miles from all of Orlando's main attractions. It also
has excellent facilities should you simply wish to relax in Florida's year round sunshine. The villa is ideal if you
are disabled (handicapped), elderly or infirm in any way; there is flat access throughout and no steps to worry about.
We chose our villa for its location but also for its privacy. The villa is set in a nature conservation area and backs
on to orange groves (as far as the eye can see), ensuring that it is not overlooked.
The communal areas of The Abbey development have been beautifully landscaped and the 'sidewalks' have been finished in
block paving. Victorian style street lamps complete the feeling of style.
Our wheelchair accessible villa is very spacious and comprises a master double bedded room with en-suite bath and
wheel-in shower room, second double bedded room with en-suite bath/shower room, 2 twin bedded rooms (one decorated in
a Mickey Mouse theme), bathroom with bath/shower, kitchen, dining area (table seats 8), breakfast bar with stools,
living area, utility room, double garage, covered lanai (porch), pool bathroom and heated, screened pool with hoist.
Being a full time wheelchair user myself, I discussed what features I required with the builder before the villa was
built. I have paid particular attention to make the whole villa suitable for the disabled (handicapped) i.e.
wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties. All doors are 36'' wide, there is a wheel-in shower (with built
in shower seat and hand held shower) and accessible bath in the master en-suite bathroom. The second en-suite bathroom
and other bathroom are also wheelchair accessible. There is level access at the front door, out to the covered
lanai/pool deck and from the garage. The electrically operated garage door also has a remote control opener. The whole
of the pool deck is wheelchair accessible. And it is also possible to get under the dining table, kitchen sink and
bathroom sink! As you can imagine it is wheelchair friendly.
Our villa has its own private screened and heated pool. There is a pool hoist in the centre of the deck, adjacent to
the steps, giving easy access to the pool. The hoist is hydraulic and is extremely easy to use. The pool screen is a
fine mesh, which allows the sun through, but stops leaves, insects, etc from entering the pool. Independent wheelchair
access to the pool deck can be gained from the dining area; able bodied guests can also gain access from the living
area and master bedroom. The pool contains a light which enables its use at night should you feel the urge.
The rear of the villa and pool area is south facing and backs on to orange groves (it is not overlooked), thereby
maintaining privacy. Eagles can often be seen circling overhead.
We specifically chose to have the large covered lanai on the east of the property, providing an escape from the heat
of the sun if required.
We have furnished the villa to a high standard. In addition to air conditioning throughout, the bedrooms, living area
and covered lanai all have ceiling fans. The kitchen is fully equipped including range cooker, microwave, dishwasher,
fridge/freezer with ice maker and water, waste disposal, coffee maker, dinner service, kitchen utensils, glasses,
cutlery, etc. There is cable T.V. in the living area and two master bedrooms; the living area also has a video
recorder and radio/tape/C.D. player. The separate utility room has a washing machine, drier, vacuum cleaner, iron and
ironing board. A telephone is located in the kitchen area; local calls are free. There is also a hairdryer in the
master bedroom.
The covered lanai is equipped with table and chairs and the pool deck with loungers.
Each bedroom has ample wardrobe and drawer space. There are also numerous other cupboards throughout the villa.
Our wheelchair accessible villa covers nearly 2,000 square feet of living space and with the two master bedrooms makes
it ideal for two families to share.
This is our holiday home and we have a management company to ensure it is professionally maintained inside and out.
Any problems, they are on call 24 hours a day.
All towels and bed linen are provided. Electricity, water, utilities, cleaning, pool maintenance, gardener and free
local telephone calls are included.
We have provided a selection of books, games and C.D.'s for use whilst staying in the villa. We also have a folder
containing details of attractions, restaurants, things to do, etc.
