2012 Florida Vacation

Guest: Becky (Albion, PA, USA)
Date of Stay: 03/24/12 Review Submitted: 04/03/12

We have stayed in many various Villa's over the past 9 years, and we found yours to be a perfect blend of what we have been looking for. The Villa layout is very nice and the privacy fence around the pool and spa allowed us to truely relax and enjoy the sun without being overlooked by others. Your Villa was very clean and the layout of the rooms were great. The neighborhood was very quite which lended to the relaxing atmosphere which we were looking for. The location to Disney can't be beat, as it is just a short 15 to 20 minute car ride. There are also many shopping area nearby as well as many other attractions for those who may be looking for something other than Disney.

We had a great time on our vacation!! This vacation home that we rented is definately a home away from home. The hot tub was great for the adults after an exciting day at the parks. And the kids enjoyed the pool. Will look forward to booking our vacation for the coming year. Thank you again!!

Girls week away in Sunny Florida

The house was nice and great location for visiting the Disney area. Its about 10 min or so from The magic kingdom. The house is very spacious and has many of the amenities of home. I spent the week with 2 of my friends and we all had a bed room of our own and one extra. We also had our own bathroom which was awesome when 3 ladies are getting ready at the same time in the morning. There is ample area to make meals and lots of seating for eating and entertaining. The kitchen has all the modern appliances. Off of the living room is a patio and a pool area great for late night drinks by the pool. I recommend paying to heat the pool in October the water was a bit on the chilly side. Also there is a garage to park the car or two. There is also a washer and dryer for your use if you need clean clothes while your there. Had a good time.

My wife and I are not great writers, but after having spent several weeks in this beautiful Florida villa, we thought we could share our impressions with you. First, we have to mention that this property is very well located in a quiet neiborghood, minutes away from major stores (i.e. Publix, Wal-Mart, CVS, etc... to name a few). It is also less than 30 minutes from all Disney's theme parks, and about 45 minutes away from Orlando Airport and Universal Studios. Second, as for the house itself, the exterior does not reflect the cosiness and comfort we find inside. The living area is full of plants/flowers which give you the feeling of being home. There are windows all around, so plenty of natural light. The kitchen has all necessary appliances so you could cook your preferred meals, and the living room offers lots of DVDs and games for your enjoyment. We entertained many guests during our stay, and the layout of the house suited our needs perfectly. There are 2 rooms and a shared bathroom at the front of the house, while the remaining rooms and bathrooms are at the back. So we installed our guests in the front rooms, my wife and I sharing the rear of the villa for more privacy. The furniture in all bedrooms is above average, the mattresses are firm and the décor projects a relaxing ambience. In the backyard, there’s a big lanai standing over a large pool with a separate spa. We did not use the pool, but we enjoy being able to heat uniquely the spa the few times we used it. There were plenty of towels, and enough patio furniture to sit 6 adults. All in all, we got excellent responses from the property’s manager whenever we had a special request. (Thanks Gerhard!), the price was good for the length of our stay, and we will definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives should they go to Orlando. Thank you Nancy and Bill for this memorable stay at your villa.

Four Corners Home

Guest: Ed (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
Date of Stay: 11/24/10 Review Submitted: 01/02/11

The house was clean and well equipped. Its location was good for us because it was close to many good golf courses. The only things that the house could have used would have been a salad spinner and one or two sharp butcher knives, otherwise it had everything you could have wanted. We encountered a number of par meadow bugs which were very disturbing to us "Non Florida" residents but the management company took care of the problem very quickly. The property owner was attentive to e-mail messages to ensure things were worked out properly.

My family and i really enjoyed your home. It was so spacious and cozy. My children could not stay out of the pool which is a plus because it saved on water parks. The location of the home was withing minutes of the parks which was great. I will be sure to tell my family and friends of your wonderful home.

We just loved the house, it was very spacious and tyhe kitchen was great. It was better than expected. My granddaughter keeps asking when are we going back. We hope to be able to book again in 2010. All of us had a great time in Florida. We found that there is more around the area than was listed on your info to us. Right on Route 4 there was many places to shop and eat. We visited Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios and Sea World as well as other amusement places in Orlando.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Elderberry Drive in July '08. The house was all we expected and more. It was clean and comfortable, the location was quiet yet convenient to all the attractions, pool was great, loads of restaurants, shopping malls etc. within easy reach. Management were courteous and helpful. Would recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Orlando.

Our stay in your home was fantastic! We were in Orlando traveling with a group of teenaged girls playing AAU basketball. The house was only a few minutes from Disney World which is where our games were. It was a great home away from home!

If you are planning a vacation in Florida and you are considering renting a home, this is the home to rent. My family and I had such a wonderful time. The house is beautiful, the pool was perfect and there was plenty of room if you have a large family. I would recommend this home to anyone, and we can't wait to return for our next vacation.

From the tasteful decor, great location, to the quiet residential streets, we enjoyed our first try at a home-rental of this type! Being just a few exits up I-4 to DisneyWorld was icing on the cake. The Orlando weather was cold and damp from 1/29 to 2/5/07, with just two days where the pool and hot tub could be enjoyed by the teens. We would definitely consider returning here and to recommending it to anyone as a value-plus vacation

My family was in Orlando for the weekend to attend a wedding and an anniversary party. There were 6 adults and 3 teenagers in our party. The house was very comfortable and much nicer than the three hotel rooms we would have been in otherwise - for about the same price or less. We all enjoyed sitting around the dining table talking. Some enjoyed watching sports on the television together. It was a short but sweet visit, made more comfortable by the nice accomodations.

What a beautiful home! There is so much room for an entire family to live and to sleep comfortably. The pool and jacuzzi are a major plus. The kids loved this special accommodation. This kind of living is what I would choose over a hotel for my next Disney vacation.
