What a holiday to remember
Guest: Crispy

Review Submitted: 12/28/11
We recently stayed for 11 nights at the castle. It was more luxurious than you could imagine. Every corner hosted a story of travels and collectables. The pool and jacuzzi were amazing and enjoyed by all, especially the 6 little kids. Inside and outside were suitable for all needs from sunbathing in luxury overlooking downtown, to relaxing with a book or listenig to music in peace (even with 6 kids). Everyone was able to escape to where they needed to be. Bedrooms were very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The beautiful staircase kept us in shape (there is a lift). Michael(owner) and his partner were extremely kind and accomodating. They even catered a wonderful and very affordable bbq for us in the house. Location was excellent, only 15 min walk from the lovely Galleria mall with wonderful shops and restaurants. All in all, it was the holiday of a lifetime and we all dream of going back to the castle someday soon.

For an absolute stress-free wedding, you must go to this property! From the day we arrived until the day we left, everything was absolutely perfect! Michael and his staff could not have been more accomodating. They helped with everything from the reception, cake & flowers to the cermony. The food was excellent and the cake was outstanding! Both the bride and groom's families stayed at the house and there was plenty of room and privacy for everyone. The poolside wedding was beautiful! Needless to say, this vacation rental far exceeded our expectations and we hope to return again for a vacaton.

Amazing wedding location!

This was the perfect location for our destination wedding! We had out of town family stay there the week leading up to the wedding. It was great to have a central location for everyone to get together. The amenities were wonderful! It was really nice that each bedroom had its own bathroom so people didn't have to walk all over and share bathrooms. My husband and I have families that love to cook, so they were thrilled with the amazing kitchen in the house. We had 45 guests for our wedding and there was plenty of room for everyone. The owners of the house were incredible- I can't say enough wonderful things about them. They were very accommmodating and generous. They helped me plan the entire wedding from flowers and cake to food and hair and makeup. They couldn't have made our wedding any more special. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Maybe we need to renew our vows!!

Excellent Vacation Rental
Guest: International travellers
(Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada)
Date of Stay: 08/09/10
Review Submitted: 10/03/10
The castle was a beautiful venue for a wedding. Our group consisted of 16 people, a mixture of teenagers and adults. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very luxurious. Cooking in the kitchen was a treat with the multiple prep areas, which allows for more than one cook. Outside we relaxed by the pool and enjoyed the boats on the waterway. The location of the property was on a quiet street, yet it was close enough to walk to shops, restuarants or the beach. Michael the owner, made himself available to us whenever we needed him. He made us feel like the castle was our home for the week. This vacation rental far exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend this home - for a wedding or just a family vacation. We hope to return sometime in the future. Thank you Michael for making our wedding something special to remember and unforgetable.

My fiancee is in the military and we planned our wedding in two months, so we had very little time. Since this was a destination wedding, I was very apprehensive. Mike, the property owner was so helpful and accessible from day 1. He was always available for any questions and was very quick with his responses. He met with my wedding planner on several ocassion to let her view the property. On the wedding day, he was there all day making sure everything runs smoothly. The house is gorgeous, clean and extravagant! The location was great too, close to everything. I would recommend this property over and over again to anyone interested in holding an event or just for a visit to FL. Great experience, great property, great owner :)
