e had a wonderful time in Florida and I am a little slow getting back into the swing of my regular routine. We did arrive a little early on Saturday (our flight arrived at 12:00 and after sorting out our rental car we were at the house by 1:30) and tried the key box but we were not able to key in our code. We walked over to the clubhouse and sat by the pool with a drink and relaxed for an hour or so. By the time we walked back, the property managers had then been to the house and set everything up for us. The house was clean and the pool was ready to go. I called the property managers on Sunday evening because we found the pool was not heating up and they came by to check the pool on Monday when we were away. All was well after that. The ladies at the club house were very helpful and we did speak to them a few times regarding tickets for the attractions and shopping. When we shopped for our groceries we did purchase a few staples such as dishwashing soap, laundry soap and toilet paper as these items were not available. I'm not sure if they should have been there or if there is a reason you don't keep those items on hand. We didn't mind purchasing the extra items and left the surplus for the next renters. We found the washer/dryer came in handy and eliminated bringing unnecessary clothing. As far as location, your home was perfect. We were close to the airport, shopping and all the sites. We had a great day at Disney, Downtown Disney, Universal Studios, and Cocoa Beach. The kitchen is well equipped and with the exception of Monday and Thursday evenings we enjoyed dinner in. Overall, we had a great week. I'm sure there would have been no complaints if we had to stay another week! We all arrived home rested and tanned and I would definitely refer friends/family to your home if they were considering a stay in Florida. Thank you for all your help and for being so accommodating with our date change. It worked out well for us as far as scheduling flights and arriving home with a day to catch up. Cindy

Yes we had a fabulous time!!! We even gave a passenger on the plane the info. because he over heard us raving about it. We made so many wonderful memories. Every time we get together we talk about it. Which I'm sure will last a lifetime. We'll definitely return. We wanted to post on the website, what is the best way to do that? I didn't see a place for comments or you can just use what I've written already. Thanks again for everything You're amazing :) JaNae

My family and I really enjoyed staying in your lovely home! It felt so much like home and everything was so nice and clean! Thank you so much for giving us the privilege. The house was very well supplied with linens and kitchen utensils, but the only thing that I can think of is maybe having some hand soap available. One thing I think most people forget to bring. Otherwise, perfect! We will definitely keep you all in mind for our future visits and highly recommend you to our friends. Thanks again.

We stayed at this premise for 7 nights. It was just beautiful. It was our home away from home. We had many lovely meals cooked in the fully equipped kitchen and we had great time by the pool. The perfect way to unwind after a full day enjoying the theme parks. It was just 10 minutes from Disney land and conveniently located closer to 24hr Wal-Mart for a quick shopping. I would highly recommend any one to go there and I would definitely stay there again when we visit Orlando. Wish we had more time to enjoy the club house and the volleyball court.
Owner response:Thank you for this great review. I do my best to take care of our guests needs, Vijay

The family have just returned home from a fantastic 5 week holiday in Orlando. We were delighted with what has now become our home away from home in Florida, and we would just like to thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home again. The heated pool was one of the highlights of the holiday for our children.They loved relaxing by the pool and indeed sometimes they preferred to stay there than hit the parks. The new paint work outside, tiles in the pool, new pool cushions and king bed were a great surprise and much appreciated. Yet again the home was immaculate. The villa is perfectly situated for anyone planning a "parks and shopping" trip to Orlando and the private pool and jacuzzi are a great way to refresh tired bodies after a day on the rollercoasters or in the shopping malls. This will be our choice every time when we come to Florida.

Everything was exactly what we had expected from the information provided, it was great, a great location and clean. If we visit the area again we will be looking to stay there and will pass along to friends. However being from Newfoundland and Canada and it being in midst of the Stanley cup playoffs the cable package did not include stations that carried the games. I will also mention we had to add quite an amount of water to the pool each morning, maybe that is standard. The girls loved having the privacy of the pool. Thanks appreciated the opportunity to stay at your home.

Your home was a very comfortable place for my family to stay during our vacation. It was especially good for our kids who loved the Minnie & Mickey pillows in the bedroom. The pool and game room were great for unwinding after a day at the amusement park. The only suggestions I have are these: It would be helpful to have trash bags provided. We were not able to dispose of the garbage mid-week and we weren't going to buy a box of trash bags when we only needed one more. Also, dishwashing soap would be helpful. We placed the dirty dishes in the dishwasher but were not able to wash any or run the dishwasher with soap. However, we enjoyed our stay at your establishment.

Thursday, August 13 2009 II thought I would let you know what a wonderful vacation we had in florida!! Thank you so very much for allowing us to rent your home!! It is beautiful there and we really enjoyed it!! The only thing I recommend is that the palm tree branches that belong to the palm near the front door be trimmed back. They literally attacked us as we walked by the sidewalk towards the front door. The house itself is in great condition!! The pool was wonderful and clean. The house itself was clean as well. It could use a few more towels and washcloths especially for larger families that stay there. Also, I wish there was more table seating for more than 6 guests. We have a family of 7 and had to take turns eating at the table. I added a pizza cutter and gallon pitcher for tea to your house. I know that these will be greatly used as well. We really did enjoy using your house for our vacation!! Thank you so very much!!! I would like to know if this house is available Sept. 4-7 for 3 nights? (vrbo # 185251) We have universal season passes and will be returning to the orlando area during this time. Thank you, Lisa

From Lisa Sent June 13 2009 My family had a wonderful stay at your home. Everything was great and we could not think of anything that needed improvement. The only issue that we had was that the barbeque tank was empty. I called your management company and they did bring one to us first thing the next morning. Thanks again for the opportunity to rent your lovely house. Lisa
