My family of 4 stayed in Amy's home for a wonderful week of Florida fun. Having a house of our own to return to each night was wonderful. After full days of fun at the parks, touring Florida, and sightseeing it was great to have a welcoming home to come to where the kids could play in the pool and we could wind down. The pictures on the site are up to date, the room layout was great, and the children really loved the DVDs that were provided as well as TVs with DVD players in their own rooms. Amy was wonderful, after an email enquiring about availability she replied to me promptly via email and we set up a phone conversation. And she followed up with me prior to the visit regarding our 1st night and after we had returned home. The house was simply wonderful, and the location was great it was so quick to nearby shopping, and to the Disney exit. I would recommend this house to any family, or group. It certainly could have accomodated a larger family than mine but it was still cozy and homey for my bunch.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your nice review. It gives me much joy to know that my guests were happy with the house and had a great vacation. I try to make sure the house is always very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable for my guests. After all it is a "Home Away from Home". All the best, Amy

We were taking our family on a long overdue vacation to Disney. We began looking for a house and luckily we connected with Amy. Her response time was quick and every step of the way she was helpful and pleasant. The house was exactly what we were looking for. Well decorated, secure and comfortable. We had 3 separate families and we all had our own space. The pool and hot tub were wonderful and well maintained. The location is close to the Parks and near to restaurants and shopping centers. We would recommend Amy's house to anyone looking for a stress free vacation home. Thanks, Amy.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind review. I do take pride in my house and make every effort to have my guests feel comfortable in their "new home" away from home. I keep upgrading the ameneties and the decore of the house. Just this week we put in a new beautiful tile floor in the living room area which I'm sure our guests will enjoy. Thank you for recommending the house to other guests. All the best, Amy

We loved it from the minute we walked in! For the past 11 years, my girlfriends and I have been going to EPCOT for the Wine and Food Festival...this was our 11th year. We started renting homes about 5 years ago. When we decided to rent this home, Amy called me. We had a long conversation and its totally clear to me that she really cares about who stays in her home because she DOES take care of it! I do all the HOURS of research for the home for this weekend and I truly wanted to find a home that we can ALL say...this is it! I even told Amy this in our conversation before the trip. Well, WE FOUND IT!!!!!!! It was perfect...pool, rooms, location, security...ALL OF IT! I called Amy after the trip and told her that as soon as we had our 2012 dates, I would be calling her! The home is decorated with modern colors. The beds were comfortable. There were extra sheets, blankets and pillows. And for those of you traveling with kids (definitely not us) the house had all your baby needs (playpen, high chair). The game room was fun! It was an extra for us! The pool, even better! The area is VERY SAFE and there are tons of restaurants in the area (literally just 5 minutes from the house)...buffalo wild wings, fridays, houlihans. I know many reviewers have said that they would definitely stay here again and they may BUT trust me...I am the house researcher for this 4 night girls weekend getaway...and finally after 5 different homes, 7 women approved THIS home for next year...THAT SAYS ALOT!! Thanks Amy and can't wait til September, October or November of 2012! Judie, Nena, Maria, Liz, Cristy, Marlene and Tee

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind review. I do take pride in keeping the house clean and updated for my guests. I also enjoy speaking and getting acquainted with my guests. It gives me great pleasure to know how enjoyable and pleasant their stay in the house was. Recently I visited the house myself and did some additional improvements (such as new floors in the dining room/living room area) which I'm sure my guests will enjoy. Having guest return to my house again and again, is the best compliment I can get. Thank you and regards, Amy

Myself, my partner, our son (15),our daughter (18) and her boyfriend (19) stayed at Amy's villa for two wonderful weeks early August. This was our 6th visit to Orlando so we were well informed of exactly what we were looking for before arrival. We have previously stayed in a Disney hotel, a hotel on International Drive, a Condo in Kissimmee, a villa in Davenport and another villa in Kissimmee. The days at the theme parks are long, the heat and humidity are extremely tiring – for us staying in a villa is by far the best option. This villa very quickly became a home away from home for us; a great place to relax and wind down after an exhausting day. From the moment that we contacted Amy about renting her home she was absolutely brilliant, she actually phoned me when we decided that we would like to rent her home to have a chat with me. She really cares that people have a great time in her home and she is very proud of it. Her home has everything we needed........................ from the kitchen facilities, sleeping areas, laundry equipment, bathrooms, games room etc etc - the outside pool was great and it was nice not having villas backing onto you that are overlooking you. A very spacious home in a safe neighborhood. The advantage that this villa has over many others is its excellent location – it is literally a simple 5 min drive to the 192 which has all the restaurants, supermarkets gift shops you could ever want, it is also very close to Disney and a very short drive to the I4 motorway to get to Universal Studios (20mins drive). We have never returned to the same accommodation before but hopefully Amy’s villa will be available for our next visit – thanks so much for letting us use your lovely home.

Owner response:Thank you for your beautiful comments. It gives me so much pleasure to know that my villa became a second home to you. This is what I am striving for, to make my guests as comfortable as possible while away from home. I enjoyed speaking with you and am delighted to know that we may speak again in the future. I promise to continue to upgrade the amenities in the house on regular basis. all the best, Amy

We really enjoyed our week at this house. It was affordably priced and within 10-20 min. of the Disney and Universal parks. We loved having the grocery store nearby. We were there during the heat wave, so the pool was a welcome relief. We've rented other houses before, but this was by far the cleanest and most well-kept house of all. It didn't look like a typical rental. We enjoyed the game room and board games on rainy days. The local management team and Amy were very easy to work with. It was well-stocked with extra sheets, towels, nightlights, etc. We would definately recommend this to others.

Owner response:Thank you for the kind remarks. It's a good feeling to see that our efforts and the care we put into the house is very much appreciated. I will continue to try and make it better on regular basis. Regards, Amy

We Loved the House and We'll be back! We loved our stay at this beautiful home recently and will definitely be staying here again. The accommodations far exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was perfect and we had everything we needed to make us feel right at home. The living area is spacious and comfortable and the bedrooms afford a lot of privacy. The children enjoyed the swimming pool, dvds and the stuffed toys in their rooms which made it feel like home. I enjoyed walking around the bodies of water in the neighborhood and just the neighborhood in general. I felt this was a very safe place to stay. I will be recommending this house to all of my family and friends that choose Florida as their destination vacation It is located close to the amusement parks, grocery store, and some decent restaurants. We would definitely stay here again when we are next in the Orlando area. Thanks for everything Amy...it was a pleasure working with you!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home away from home. The house was super clean and the layout was perfect for our family of 7 plus a cousin for the kids. The location was perfect for traveling to Disney, the grocery store, church, etc. We went to Cocoa Beach one day and the drive was not too far and the beach was beautiful. The kids LOVED the pool and game room. I enjoyed walking around the bodies of water in the neighborhood and just the neighborhood in general. Felt this was a very safe place to stay. I will be recommending this house to all of my family and friends that choose Florida as their destination vacation. Thanks Amy for making our stay so great!

Owner response:I appreciate the nice and honest comments. It gives me great pleasure to know that my guests are happy with the accommodations of the house and it's amenities. We put time, money and effort to update the house and make it presentable and pretty for our guests. I promise to continue to strive to make improvements on regular basis. Regards, Amy

My husband, our daughter and two grandchildren stayed at this lovely home for 5 days in May and we cannot say enough good things about it. It is located close to the amusement parks, grocery store, and some decent restaraunts. The living area is spacious and comfortable and the bedrooms afford a lot of privacy. The children enjoyed the swimming pool, dvds and the stuffed toys in their rooms which made it feel like home. We would definitely stay here again when we are next in the Orlando area.

WE RENTED A HOUSE LAST YEAR AND IT DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO HAVING THIS ONE. WHEN THE MEN OF MY HOUSE HAVE SOMETHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT A VACATION HOUSE, IT HAS TO BE GOOD. FROM THE SPACIOUS LIVING WITHIN THE HOUSE TO BEING CLOSE TO DISNEY'S PARKS, IT'S TOPS. MY GRANDKIDS LOVED THE GAME ROOM ( of course) AND LIVED AT THE POOL WHEN WE CAME BACK IN THE AFTERNOONS. WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF WALKING INTO THE HOUSE, THE GRAND BOYS KNEW EVERY INCH OF THE HOUSE AND SO EXCITED ABOUT THEIR ROOM. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER PLACE TO STAY WIHILE VACTIONING IN FLORIDA. WE'RE PLANNING TO COME BACK IN 2013 AND HOPE THIS HOUSE WILL BE AVAILABLE. WHEN PEOPLE ASKED WHERE WE STAYED, I HIGHLY RECOMMENED THIS HOUSE.
