Excellent location for theme parks, shopping and restaurants. Owner was great to deal with. He was prompt, reliable and courteous. The home was clean, well maintained and located in a quiet gated community. We especially enjoyed the pool on hot days as well as relaxing in the games room after touring the parks. We would definitely recommend this property for family vacations.

Owner response:Thank you for the review Colleen & Bill, we're really happy that you enjoyed your vacation at our home.

Iain and Helen, What a great home with everything a family could enjoy. With small kids and taking a day off between parks, your home was so much fun with pool and games room during our off days. The hot tub did wonders after long days and long lines. A superb home and excellent service. We will be back but during off season. You guys are great.... Thank you, The Turners

What a lovely villa, clean with superb furnishings and very well equipped. The boys got lots of use out of the games room when tropical storm Fay prevented us from going out. We ventured out to the parks when the rain let up and enjoyed the new Simpsons ride at Universal. The weather improved greatly and we took the opportunity to spend time in the pool. Thank you for calling to see us Iain. We have ad a wonderful holiday and look forward to staying in your villa again next year. The Haywards

Thank you so much for letting our family use your beautiful home. We all had a wonderful time, and it was lovely to come 'home' to get some rest after our long days walking in the Disney parks. The pool was a popular spot for us to cool off and enjoy time together. Everything was perfect, and it is all thanks to your welcoming home. All the best to you and your loved ones. See you again soon. The Chows

What a perfect vacation home for a family of five like ours. Everyone had their own space (and bathroom). Having internet access and the international phone plan made it easy to keep in touch with home. Thanks for everything. We don't know why anyone would stay in a hotel when a house like this is available. We'll be back.

We enjoyed our stay at your vacation home. All the comforts of home at our fingertips. You have created a family friendly atmosphere. We loved playing each other in air hockey and table tennis. Your home allowed us to have "spaces in our togetherness". We enjoyed our stay. Hopefully we will see again next year for our sons 4th birthday.
