Hello Barry, Once again, my family was very impressed with your holiday home. We all had a lovely time, thank you. We are not sure of the dates yet when we will be returning to Florida, but rest assured, when we do, it will be to one of your houses! Thanks again, Rhonda WV USA. (25/07/2011)

Hello Barry Many thanks for a great holiday and agreeing to a late departure time from the villa on Sunday. An enjoyable time was had by all, at your villa. Its location was perfect and for us, it was a "good" find on the owner’s direct web site. We did have a couple of small problems which were dealt with promptly by Brenda. These in no way lessened the good time we had. Again many thanks Garry Maslen, Jacqueline and family UK. (30/06/11)

Hello Barry Just a note to say thank you for the quick return of our security deposit. May I take this opportunity, on behalf of our party, to thank you for allowing us to use your exceptional villa? We all agreed, it provided an excellent base, for what turned out to be one of the best and most relaxing holidays we have ever had. And thank you for your offer of the 10% returning guest discount, we hope to be able to take you up on that in the near future. Regards, Peter UK. (10/06/11)

Hi Barry Just a quick note to say that we really enjoyed our week at your villa in Port Charlotte. The kids were in the pool a lot and we really enjoyed the hot tub. We went for walks every day and visited three different beach areas. We had great weather that week too. Thanks for all the information in the binders. It really helped us out. Sincerely, Kevin UK. March.

Hi Barry WOW! What an amazing house with every comfort of home. Thank you for the lovely time we spent with our friends over Easter. The house was perfect and went above and beyond every expectation we had. I'd recommend this villa to everyone. Given the number of people it sleeps, it's an absolute bargain compared to hotels. I can't tell you how much we appreciated all the special touches. We just felt right at home. The house is beautiful, the neighborhood is quiet, what a wonderful place to get away and relax! We can't wait to come back, again. Thank you so much, Chris & Fons. VA USA. May 2010.

"Not only is this a large, comfortable, superbly presented property, but it is professionally managed with courteous and helpful owners. It is well located in a fantastic area of Florida, whether you want to laze on a beach, visit the offshore islands or compete with the 'gators from the boat dock for fish - great fun! Thanks Barry for two great weeks. We'll certainly apply to return to this property when we visit again, if you'll have us, of course. Fond regards The Happy Jack’s (Jackson family).

Hi Barry, Just wanted to drop you a note and say thank you, and to let you know that we had an amazing two weeks. Your villa was wonderful and just what we needed to make it a great Christmas. This was the first time we have all, as a family been able to get together in ten years, it couldn't have been better! Thanks for everything. We created so many happy memories in a unique place, and it has to be said that your villa was central to it all. All the best for 2010. Baz & Margo. CA USA. January 2010.

Dear Barry. We were delighted with your Pelican Dock villa, which we felt to be very good value for money. It is very well geared for anyone interested in boating and enjoying the local waterways and wildlife! The 4 bathrooms were well appointed and adequate for our numbers. The description of the premises was accurate I would be happy to recommend it to friends. With the beaches only 12-15 miles away, we never had any problems keeping the kids happy. We found the pool alarm system to be a must for children’s safety and our ‘peace of mind’. We were very delighted with our 4 weeks in your lovely vacation home. Hope to come again next year? Best regards The Smiths from Canada. October 2009

Dear Barry, Thank you for returning so quickly our security deposit. We had a really great time. Your house is just beautiful. Brenda, your agent was just great, gave us very useful local information and sorted out the few problems we had very quickly. The boat we rented from you for those two weeks was fabulous, so we saw a lot of the area. Did a lot of fishing and then cooked them on your grill, great fun for me and the kids. Thanks again for renting your house to us. Tom and Denise. Canada. May 2008.

Hello Barry, Thank you so much for such a wonderful time, your house is beautiful, and the area is just so lovely that no one wanted to come home. Also, thank you for letting me know all was okay when we left and that you have destroyed the security deposit check. Best regards Tracey.
