What's New
Busch Gardens has unveiled it's new addition. The 2 year old Sheikra which was the first dive coaster in North America and the first anywhere with two straight-down dives and a full Immelmann loop, an imitation of a stunt pilot maneuver has opened a slightly taller copy with no floor at Busch Gardens Tampa. No floor means feet dangle freely through a pair of straight-down drops and a loop at a top speed of 70 miles per hour. The wind is not obstructed. Unlike the park's similar Montu coaster ride, there is no bulky track overhead to blot out the sky. With the big safety bar across the front row gone, the front row view is unobstructed. This ride should not be missed. Busch Gardens is a 1 hour drive from our villa.

Charley's Steak House, a 2003 DiRoNa Award recipient, is family-owned and has operated since 1974. They offer a fabulous menu of typical steak house fare. Charley's selects only three-year-old USDA prime and choice Angus steers, ages them for four to six weeks for tenderness and flavor and handcuts the steaks daily to ensure consistent quality. The steaks are then flame-broiled over oak and orange woods in a custom-built pit. Charley's secret has to be the pit. Steaks, chicken, chops and fresh fish are cooked over a 1,100-degree fire. The flavor from the wood is marvelous, with an aroma that will make your mouth water. As you enter the lobby, a refrigerated case proudly displays Charley's best attributes - a two to three inch thick filet mignon, a 32 ounce porterhouse and an 18 ounce (boneless) New York strip. Don't miss this signature entrée, The Ultimate Surf'nTurf - Charley's Master cut, a 50 ounce filet mignon paired with a two pound Australian lobster tail.
Charley's is excellent and can be found near Celebration just off the US192 approximately 20 minutes drive from our villa.
