Great Family Vacation

Just want to thank you for a great place to stay for our trip to Florida. We’ve stayed in other rentals in Watersong for the past 4 years and your place was by far the best equipped in the kitchen which made meal prep a breeze. The new big screen TV in the family room was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all. The pool heat was great and the hot tub much better (warmer) than any of the other homes we had rented – Well worth the added extra cost. The indoor furniture quality and comfort was exceptional for a rental home. If you plan to take in the amusement parks and other close by attractions by day and just want to use the pool to relax and swim in at night then you would be fine but the outdoor furniture situation was the only negative to the entire two weeks at your lovely villa. The sun and outdoor lovers among us found that having no cushions available for the 3 lounge chairs and only 4 chairs available for table sitting, it was not easy to be comfortable around the pool. With the villa handling far more than 7 people, only having minimal outdoor furniture left one of our 8 person party on the deck. The ability to go to the beautiful clubhouse (unheated) pool with numerous comfortable loungers and chairs was a great alternative though and we usually had the place to ourselves. We would recommend the place to anyone looking for a clean, well equipped home to rent.

2011 - Thanksgiving Vacation

Date of Stay: 11/19/11 Review Submitted: 12/05/11

By noreen cavari (Port ST Lucie Florida USA) This was a lovely villa and would highly recommend it to any family group. The pool and hot tub were especially a big plus. The trip to downtown Orlando was only about 15 minutes. The villa was spacious and well equiped and very clean and comfortable. There was a c;lub house which we did not use as there was so much to do in the area. Had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at the villa and the family all agreed that this was one of the best villas we have ever rernted

However, we stayed in July and have still not received our deposit back after being told it would be on the way in August.

Volleyball Tournament - ESPN Wide World of Sports

Guest: Denise (Ohio)
Date of Stay: 06/18/11 Review Submitted: 07/05/11

This Villa was the perfect location for our vacation, because our 16 year old daughter and her team were playing in a Volleyball Tournament at the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando. The kitchen was huge and well equipped for cooking meals. The property was clean and well-maintained. All the kids enjoyed the pool. There was plenty of shopping nearby, and many restaurants. I would recommend this property to a relative or friend. Only recommendation is a larger T.V. in family room for large groups to watch movies. Thank you Raj for making our stay a wonderful experience. I plan on returning next year.

Owner response:We are getting a large TV as per this recommendation soon.

Our Easter Vacation was AMAZING!

First off, I have to say the owners and property manager for this home were wonderful. They kept in touch to make sure everything was perfect for us! The house is beautiful and well furnished to accomodate our party of 12. The house was so big that when we were there with everyone it was still as peaceful as if the adults went on vacation without the kids! The kids spent a lot of time in the game room and in their own rooms when not busy swimming. We did bring our Wii and PS3 with us too and this also kept them busy. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. We had no problem cooking and cleaning up after 8 kids with everything available. There was also a washer and dryer conveniently located in the upstairs hall so we didn't have to pack as much since we just did laundry every few days. The beds were very comfortable and there were bathrooms galore! At night we'd wind down at the screened in pool. A huge treat for us being from New Hampshire! Just a 15 to 20 minute ride to Disney and only 5 minutes to Publix. Walmart, Target, and a bunch more stores only 10 minutes away. Super convenient location and a beautiful area. We plan on staying again next year! No more hotels for us. From now on we stay at Swamy Villa!

Owner response:Thank you very much Lisa & Brian. Appreciate your kind words. Great feedback.

Thanks Raj for having the home clean and ready for our arrival. The pictures and the description of the home are exactly as advertised. Everyone thought the home was spacious and tastefully decorated. We recommend a larger t.v. in the family room for large groups to watch movies. The location was ideal, far enough away to be quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to the action that the younger ones never got bored waiting to get to our destinations. The provided linens and towels were enough even for large families such as ours. I would recommend future guests take blankets or throws for cold-natured guests.

Owner response:Hello Chuck, Thank you very much Chuck for your kind words. I will certainly add these feedback to my to do list. Hopefully we will get to host you in near future and I will certainly offer a discount or the best deal at that time. Looking forward to having you as pour guests Thanks Raj

Christmas at Watersong, January 1, 2011 By Rebecca Jennings (Reading UK) We had a great 2 weeks at the Swami's villa in the gated community of Watersong. The villa was really comfortable and had everything we needed and more-we even managed the full English Christmas lunch! Our party included 4 teenagers and 3 adults and, with the beach volley ball, pool table and swimming pool, when we weren't out and about, everyone found something to do in the house or community. We fully recommend the house and thanks Raj for making it a smooth organisational experience all the way through.

Disney Vacation, June 30, 2010 By Howard (Fenton, MO USA) The villa was beautiful. A great place to relax after a busy day. The grandkids loved the pool. It was nice not to be "on top" of other houses, it felt like we had space! The presence of the "hotel type" sundries and dish soap would have been nice, even though shopping is always on the to do list. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for your hospitality.

Lovely home, March 25, 2010 This home was perfect for what we needed! Plenty of room, a lovely warm pool, lots of bathrooms and a great kitchen. The owners were great-went out of their way to make things perfect. Grand-daughters loved the "Magic gate"!The only thing we would suggest is to count on buying a few items, like trash bags, toilet paper, dishwasher and laundrey soap as these were limited.

Flynn family vacation, February 25, 2010 Looking out at the snowy trees lining my yard, I wish our stay at the Swany's villa did not have to end so soon! We would like to thank our gracious hosts, Raj and Sonu for sharing their lovely vacation villa at Watersong. The spacious floor plan and immaculate condition of the home was more than we could hope for. The individual bedroom suites were a luxury, especially for our two teenage sons! We relaxed in the heated pool and spa daily, and took advantage of the wonderful, clean workout facility at the clubhouse. The villa's proximity to Disney and local golf courses was perfect, allowing us to return to our peaceful retreat (and some amazing wildlife around the Watersong grounds!) at the end of each day. Special thanks to Frank from the maintenance company for his kindness and prompt attention to our inquiries during our visit. The week in Davenport left us feeling rejuvenated and prepared to head into the final months of this cold Michigan winter. Thank you again Raj and Sonu, for sharing your Florida hideaway with our family, and for your attention to every detail of our stay. Your e-mail address is permanently bookmarked!

Marble Family Gathering, January 22, 2010 My family enjoyed the space in the house and the quite neighborhood. I enjoyed the quaint country setting , the people in this area are very nice. The house was clean and everything works . We really enjoyed the open kitchen and den area. We used the clubhouse and enjoyed that also. I have no complaints only complements. If you have any questions about the house or the area you may email me.

Awesome Villa, September 10, 2009 We had the opportunity to spend a week at the Swamy's villa. The villa is warm and inviting, and Sonu and Raj are great hosts. Our stay was simply great. The rooms are very large, comfortable and clean. Being minutes away from Orlando's theme parks, makes planning out activities very convenient. The bedrooms are nice, with private baths in each. The kitchen is fully functional with all utilities and loaded with great cookware items. The heated pool and spa was great and relaxing. All in all, it was a very enjoyable stay, couldn't have been any better. We would absolutely love to go back!

By Joseph Dutton (Pittsburgh, PA USA) This house has a wonderful decor and a wide open floor plan that allows you personal space if you so desire. The pool area with spa is a perfect place to unwind and the woods behind the pool give you the privacy that you desire. I have rented over 25 houses in the past from Florida, Outer Banks, Hilton Head to Cape Cod and I would put this house in my top 5.

Perfect, March 23, 2009 The house is new, immaculate and lovely. We would recommend it to anyone who wants to just spend time enjoying the weather by the pool, or going to Disney. The villa is ideally located both close to Disney and shopping for everything a family might need, as well as private enough to relax with a quiet vacation. My wife and I are already looking forward to returning! Thanks again.

Luxury Mediterranean Style Villa at Davenport, Florida Dear Mr. Swamy, On behalf of our family, we would like to thank you very much for a truly relaxing and comfortable stay at your home. Your home was surprisingly large, and absolutely beautifully decorated, offering all the conveniences we could imagine. The 5 bedrooms were all large, quiet and private with every bedroom having its own bathroom. Being a father to four girls, this was a real blessing. The convenient pool/hot tub was perfect for us to swim & relax without worrying about the kids. The resort community of Watersong was pleasantly quite, clean and secure, and the people made us feel we were very much at home. We took advantage of the resort clubhouse facilities (workout center, and internet café, etc) and the staff was eager to help and provided us recommendations on local restaurants etc. We visited the Disney Theme Parks every second day, the location of your home was just what we were looking for “conveniently near by, but well situated away from all the clutter and noise”. We definitely plan on returning next summer. Again, thank you for the outstanding accommodations. All the Best, The Mercuri Family. 06/24/008

EXCELLENT, March 31, 2008 Stayed here for 2 weeks in March. We were a party of 6 adults and 3 children. We have stayed at villas in Florida on 7 separate occasions and this was by far the best. The location is great only 10 mins to the Interstate 4, various restaurants and publix supermarket .The villa it self is very spacious. It is equipped with absolutely everything; the owner even provided beach towels. The bedrooms were en-suite, all the beds were very comfy and televisions were also provided in them. Our children loved the large pool and the Jacuzzi. The games room was very well equipped with pool table, table football and darts, which kept the children (and adults) entertained. Overall we had a most enjoyable stay here and I would definitely recommend staying here. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

There was plenty of room for the 2 families and we did not feel cramped. It was a fantastic experience renting from you. We left the house in impeccable condition.
