First Class Comfort and Location

This house had something for everyone. We are a family of 4 with a 17 year old daughter and a 14 year old son and this lovely house suited us perfectly. It had everything we could have wished for. The pool and spa were wonderful and great after a day on your feet at the parks or at the shops or just for a day relaxing in the sunshine. The x-box and pool table kept my son amused when he wanted out of the sun for a while and the tv was enjoyed by us all. The beds were comfortable and we could all lounge in front of the tv on the recliner settee. The internet meant we could stay in touch with family and friends. As for the location, my husband was delighted that we were a couple of minutes from the I4 and could totally avoid the 192 and the US27 as we have had experience of the traffic jams there in previous years. The only time we used the 192 was for nearby restaurants. A supermarket (Publix), Papa John's Pizza, McDonald's and Chinese takeaway are also just minutes away. I would definately recommend this property, especially for location - minutes to Disney and 30 minutes from Universal gate to home. Everything was as described in the listing.

This home is very well maintained and clean. The supply of towels was awesome! Everything that you would have in your own home is here (dishes, silverware, pots, pans, toaster.....). We did have trouble hooking up to the internet, but we found a place that had wifi so my son could submit his homework for a college course he was taking. It was so nice to be able to come in at 10:00 at night, or anytime for that matter, and take a quick dip in the pool. The best part is that you don't have to share the pool with 500 other people!! The neighborhood was very nice and quiet. Close enough to all the attractions but far enough away from all the traffic and congestion. We had a great time here and would definitely recommend this home to friends and family as well as come back again ourselves! We made reservations at Benihana's located in the Hilton hotel in Lake Buena Vista. That was awesome!!! Another suggestion would be to bring a GPS with you. It made things a whole lot easier. Thank you!!!

My family really enjoyed our stay at this home. The pool and games room were great fun and relaxing after spending the days at the theme parks. Everything we needed was supplied and the location was quiet yet convenient for the parks, restaurants etc. We would definately recommend to others.

My husband and I would just like to let you know that we had a wonderful time staying at your vacation home! It was extremely comfortable and was perfectly located. The neighborhood was quiet, but close enough to the interstate and attractions that it was still convenient. The pool was fantastic, and we both got a kick out of watching the little lizards that liked to cling to the outside of the lanai in the afternoons. We ended up spending more time at the house swimming and less money on parks because the house was so perfect! For anyone considering staying here, we would definitely recommend it!

We came to your house in September 2008. We had a great time!! The house and pool were clean. The kids loved the game room. We will recommend this house to our friends and family. Also we will rent the house our next visit to FL. The location of the house was perfect, it was close to the parks and stores.

Having just spent the month of April in your wonderful home, I have to add a comment here to say that it was everything we could have ever expected for a relaxing vacation. Your home was immaculate and had everything we could ever need. We had just one day of thundershowers throughout the whole period, so we were able to spend so much time relaxing by the pool in the mid 80s temperature. We're hoping this is the beginning of many visits to Florida to escape the 'not so nice' weather here in Newfoundland. We will not hesitate to come and stay at your home again. Thank you so much for everything.

We all had a great time!! The house and pool were beautiful and clean. The location was perfect not to far from the parks and stores. Ouir children are 5, 8 and 15 years old. We all loved the pool, toys, hot tub, pool table and the xbox. The house gave each of us space and alone time if we wanted it. We were able to cook breakfast, take lunches on picnics and also bbq at night for dinner. It worked out well. The kids didn't want to leave the house at the end of our week. We will definetly return. We have already recommended your house to several of our friends and family. The house was perfect to relax after a long day at the park or to just stay there all day to have fun with your family. There was plenty to do for all of us. We had a quetion about the air conditioning and the maitenance service came right away and was very helpful We felt right at home. The house was cozy and comfortable. Thank you!

Have just returned from a 2 week stay at this fantastic villa. It has everything you will ever need and is in a great location (10 minutes drive from parks). Have stayed at similar villas in Indian Ridge but this villa was excellently presented and felt like staying in a well furnished and loved home. Garden area to rear very well landscaped. Also has lots of toys in the games room to keep kids/ adults entertained. Thanks Larry for an enjoyable holiday hope to be back soon.

We just returned from a 9 night stay at Just Like Home Orlando, and it couldn't have been better! The house and pool area were just right for our family. This is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate after (or during!) a busy day in the parks. It is close enough to visit Disney in the morning, drive back to the house for rest/food, and then return to the parks for the evening. If you're looking for a comfortable, relaxing, quiet, respite from the chaos of theme parks, this is the perfect place for you. The kids (ages 6, 10, and 11) loved the pool and even chose to stay "home" one day rather than return to a water park! Thanks, Larry and family, for sharing your home with us. We'll surely return and recommend to family and friends!!

Our stay at your home was truly a wonderful experience. Your home was very clean and had all the amenities one could possibly need. I wish we could have extended our 2 week stay, but there is always next time. The pool & spa were truly a delight, our kids made use of the pool everyday and night so did we!. The weather was beautiful, sunny each day we lucked out! We absolutely love the area where your home is located and the street was very quiet. I love your garden area in the front and back and love the walkways! We had a very positive experience and would love to rent from you again. I would recommend your home to all our friends and family. Thanks Again Larry & Family for a wonderful accomodation! Take Care, The Wright Family, :)

We just returned from a 10 day vacation in Florida and we had a great time. The house was perfect! It was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. We all loved the pool and hot tub and spent evey evening recovering from Disney out there. It was literally 12 minutes to the Disney gate and close to anything else we needed. We would love to stay again on future visits to Florida.

Our stay at your home was wonderful. The house was clean and nicely decorated. I was impressed with how well the house was equipped, from towels and linens to toys in the gameroom! I would definitely recommend your home to anyone visiting Disney.

We spent 7 glorious days in mid-October at your beautiful home. The house was warm and inviting and the decor was perfect! Morning coffee on the patio was a wonderful way to start the day. Sand cranes came to visit and were well fed. :) After very busy days at Disney, St. Augustine and playing golf, we were delighted to get "home" to swim, hot tub, and relax. The area is so peaceful. We were amazed at how "all-inclusive" your home was - beautifully set tables, comfortable rooms, great bathrooms, fully stocked cupboards, LOTS of fresh towels, etc. The location is fabulous and close to everything. We HIGHLY recommend your home to anyone-couples, families, etc. Thank you for allowing us to have such a great experience. We have told many friends and relatives about our wonderful experience and we expect to come back again.

We stayed here for 10 days in July 2006. The location was perfect, the house was well-kept and beautiful, and the pool and spa was a welcome retreat after the lond days at Disney. Our family did not want to leave. It was truly a magical vacation, Thanks to your wonderful house. We will stay here again the next time we are in the area, and will recommend you to family and friends. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

We stayed at this property for 9 nights in October 2005. It was everything we dreamed of - clean, pleasant, extremely well-equipped,spacious and very close to WDW. Owners were courteous, expeditious and helpful! This was our first stay in an offsite pool villa and I highly recommend it!!!

This home was a perfect fit for our extended family including 3 year old triplets. The double stroller; children's toys, books and movies; and kids plates and cups were extremely helpful! Can't beat the 5 house walk to the playground (no streets to cross) and the private, safe, warm pool and hot tub! Thank you for the tips on close stores and back raods to the airport and Disney (5 - 10 minutes door to door). Thank you for a perfect place for our vacation stay!

We love the Dalmation Plantation. Our second visit was as good as the first. Our children call it "our house" in Florida. We like having a house instead of a hotel or a condo. Disney is so close you get there faster than the disney bus service. Enjoy!

We are proud to offer our winter home to vacation travelers to the Disney area. We personally visit our home several times each year and attend to any problems or issues quickly. We have recently completely resurfaced the pool deck and have added a control system for the spa that makes using it simple and easy. I use the home as an office while I'm there and have kept the high speed internet access available for my guests to use at no charge. Feel free to bring your laptop equipped with a standard ethernet port. We sincerely hope all our guests enjoy their stay and look forward to your comments.
