Games Room: The games room is purpose built and is therefore not your usual garage make-over, and as such the room is cool, light and airy which makes it a place you actually want to spend time in. The room is equipped with a full size 8ft pool table and 7ft air hockey table, in addition to a living area with a 52” LCD TV, HD Cable, blu-ray player, playstation 3 console as well as a selection of family board games. The living area also has a wet bar with ice maker and beverage center. Double doors lead out onto the amazing pool deck.

Sun deck: If the interior hasn't given you the wow factor you require to spend your vacation at Star Lake Manor then the pool and sun deck will truly amaze you! The screened sun deck is a massive 88ft x 42ft and has the best uninterrupted view of Star Lake where you will see plenty of birds fly over and paddle. As you would expect of a villa of this stature it has an ample supply of upholstered pool furniture, including sun loungers and reclining chairs. Even the most hardy sun worshipper will need to shade from the harsh Florida sun at some point during the day, for which there is an extensive shaded lanai which has large cooling fans and dining table and chairs.

Summer Kitchen: Within the screened area we have provided a covered summer kitchen containing an enormous gas BBQ, gas burner, sink, refrigerator and ice maker. A bathroom and shower are located off the lanai.

Pool, spa / Jacuzzi & children pool: To complement such a huge sun deck, the main free form pool is an enormous 46ft x 22ft and is interconnected by rock spillways with the spa and children's pool. The children's splash pool is 1.5ft deep and the 10 jet spa can comfortably seat 8 adults. The focal point of the pool is the rock waterfall which at 4ft tall is amazing to watch. The main pool also has within it a table so you can sit around it in the pool with a drink. There are no fewer than eight fountains, four in the children's pool and four in the main pool. At night all three pools can be lit with multiple colors.

Upstairs Balcony: The screened shaded upstairs rear balcony is accessed from the grand master suite and from other parts of the house via the landing. The balcony is cooled by large fans and is an ideal spot due to its elevated position to have an outstanding aerial view of the lake and pool. Imagine having your early morning coffee, looking out over the lake covered in mist with the birds singing. At night the balcony also has views in the distance of the magical Disney ™ fireworks at Magic Kingdom ™ and Epcot. ™
