Best Nest is the Best!

This home is the perfect place to stay! The owners communicate before, during and at the end of your stay to make sure you have everything you need. The home is very clean and there is ample seating for everyone. The pool area is well cared for and the grill is clean and ready for use. We have stayed here for our last two vacations and were really bummed when we discovered it wasn’t available for our trip next year. It is truly a home away from home. You will be impressed and enjoy your stay!

The Best Week at the Best Nest!

We absolutely loved our stay at the BEST NEST! We have rented many homes over the last 10 years in this area and this is the first time we stayed here, and we don’t ever want to stay anywhere else again! This was the best rental house, with every single amenity, you can imagine, a gorgeous, large, swimming pool that our teenagers loved, a fantastic game room, comfortable beds, two living room areas, a perfect kitchen and plenty of seating for our family of six!Dan and Brenda are fantastic hosts, with great communication and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our accommodations. Outside of the house is just as fabulous as inside with a quiet tree-lined street, friendly people around and a lovely walkable place to be! My husband and I walked to the nearest grocery store to grab a few things and even to Starbucks and ice cream nearby! The area couldn’t be more perfect and we love the easy access to Route 192 and even though this home is close to everything, it still feels like it is nestled away. We can’t wait to book another vacation here!! Dan & Brenda, thank you for the most relaxing and fun week in what truly felt like home away from home!

Perfect Holiday Home

We returned to ‘Best Nest’ this time for a months stay. Dan and Brenda had made more improvements to an already ideal place to come on holiday. We had booked two properties in Highland Reserve for the amount of family joining us and it reinforced to me how good Dan and Brenda’s home is compared to others. They have everything and more than you could ask for in a holiday home.The owners are very attentive and from the moment you book we could not have asked any more from them. We have already booked for this Christmas and can’t wait to return once more.

Really is The Best Nest

This property feels like home the minute you walk in the door. The home is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen has all the dishes, pots and pans and cooking utensils you need and a pantry well stocked with spices, storage bags and some basic necessities. The beds are all super comfortable with many pillows to choose from. There are games and toys for the little ones including high chair, crib, stroller and they even put up a pool fence on the lanai for us. The host was even so thoughtful as to leave a birthday card and small gift for my granddaughter who was celebrating a birthday. Communication was super easy and they were quick to respond to any questions, even checking with us during our two week stay just to make sure everything was good. The garage has pool table, air hockey and foosball tables and many other games and it is really nice and cool in there. The pool is very clean and well maintained as well as heated perfectly. The neighborhood is very safe and walkable. There are many stores and restaurants close by. Disney is about a 30 minute easy drive.i highly recommend this home. I have stayed at many VRBO properties over the last 20 years and this is my favorite. You really feel like you are in The Best Nest for your vacation!

This was a great property to stay at! We loved the pool and the home was very clean and appeared just as advertised in the Vrbo description. There were so many extra that made the stay even better like golf clubs to use, a cooler and chairs for the beach and well stocked kitchen. The home was in a great location in a quiet neighborhood close to golf and all the Orlando attractions. The hosts were wonderful to work with and were great communicators. They seemed genuinely concerned that we would have a great stay. I would book again!

Simply the Best Nest

Booked Best Nest based upon the reviews and description, being on a golf complex and having golf clubs an added bonus. We where not disappointed as it lived up to the high standards expected and the communication was excellent throughout the process, and query was rapidly responded to. The location was easy to find and the property was not overlooked as backed onto the golf course. It is very rare for me to give an overall 5 star rating but this property fully deserves this rating and would happily recommend for other families as everything is catered for even down to the welcome pack of gluten free goodies for the member of our party who has celiac disease which demonstrates the care they take to ensure everyone is welcome. If we are ever back in Orlando we will certainly be looking at staying again.

It is very spacious and clean and the furnishings, bed linens and towels are in top condition. An abundance of thoughtful extras are readily available: toys; ponchos and fans for the parks; toiletries; kitchen/bathroom/laundry consumables; dining and cooking utensils - the list goes on! The pool deck is private and sunny with an open view. Communication with the owners was friendly but not intrusive. Absolutely the best villa we have ever rented in Florida, and precious memories made. Thank you!

The Best Nest by far the best

Where to begin about The Best Nest this was by the far the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in. This home had everything you needed plus more. The location was great also in a very quiet neighborhood. Everything just as described had plenty of room for a family of 11. The pool and the game room was a very big hit with my family. Brenda & Dan were very easy to contact with any questions we had. I would highly recommend this rental property.

The house was beautiful, well stocked, and very roomy and inviting. The hosts were like family in how they checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was very well stocked including coffee, sugar, tea, spices, paper products, and even golf clubs and beach items.

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Brenda Holton

Host profile image
Welcome to our Best Nest story. We are Dan and Brenda Holton from Seattle, Washington. Our home away from home in Highlands Reserve has been a perfect place to settle when we “pretend” to be part-time snowbirds in Florida.🌴 Our daughter and son-in-law live in Orlando and we try to visit as often as we can since we just became first time grandparents! Brenda is an interior design consultant, and is enjoying her new little grandbaby. Dan is an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry and enjoys home improvement projects, and being a new Grampy. We have been married for 35 years, and are proud parents to Emma and Bennett, and their spouses: Noah and Emily. One of our favorite pieces of advice to young families are: “the days are long, but the years are short”. Hence, hanging on the wall in our Best Nest villa home you will find wall art stating, “These are the days I never want to forget”. We are firm believers in living your best life now, not taking a single day for granted. We are blessed beyond measure; much more than we deserve. We are so happy to share our home away from home with you so that you can create your own unforgettable memories, creating your family’s story.

Why they chose this property

Our “Best Nest” villa home has been an active and successful short term rental property/vacation villa home with a five star rating since 2002. It has undergone a refresh and remodel with many updates making this the BEST place to stay during your Central Florida vacation. The Sunshine State is filled with so many activities and varied things to do for every kind of traveler: beautiful beaches, amusement/theme parks, unlimited shopping and dining experiences, art, culture, botanical gardens, zoos, fishing, hiking attractions, educational experiences...a little something for everyone. Perhaps your perfect vacation is just relaxing by your own private pool with a good book and a cold drink while bathing in the sunshine, and taking in the amazing views of the golf course. Whatever you desire for your vacation, our goal is to create the most fabulous get away yet, as well as ensuring that you have all the comforts of home. Our nest is truly the “Best Nest”.

What makes this property unique

Freshly remodeled and updated with a designers touch, our Best Nest boasts of having one of the largest private pools in Highlands Reserve with unique privacy fencing. The Highlands Reserve Community is nestled next to a large nature reserve. The prestigious golf course community is one of the best in Central Florida, and features citrus and pine trees as well as rolling hills. Our villa home is situated near the 14th hole and 15th tee off. Watching golfers in the distance while relaxing on the pool deck is so refreshing with the tropical breezes while remaining ”bug free” in our large fully screened-in pool/deck enclosure.
