My husband and I stayed in this fabulous home in March of this year, 2013. Karen, the owner, was incredibly helpful from the outset as was the management company run by Paul and Debra. I had read the previous reviews on this home and it clinched it for us - so imagine my great surprise at reading the last review, making claims of a bad owner and home before posting my own. As we say in the UK, you can't please all of the people all of the time and some will never be satisfied. We found no evidence of any damage whatsoever. I defy anybody to find bad issues with this home - they simply do not exist. The home is quality through and through from very comfortable beds (very important to me as I have back issues) to beautiful furniture. The kitchen is amazing and I enjoyed cooking our meals in there! We were a group of adults, but even so the bedroom murals, aimed at children, left us all grinning and making jokes about the Disney characters. The home is classy, clean and so comfortable with quality towels and bedding. It's huge which enabled us to have privacy before meeting around the pool and spa - we had some fun in that pool and spa! The location was great, peaceful and yet so close to supermarkets and restaurants. I would not hesitate to recommend this home, the photographs actually do not show just how excellent it is and this is one bunch of friends that will be returning again next year. Karen, thank you for all the time you gave me, we definitely appreciate your allowing us to stay in your lovely home. Look forward to talking to you again for our holiday home next year.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks very much for your review, so appreciate your time and opinion of the home and that you found everything as it should be and you were all comfortable and enjoyed the home. Many say my beds are comfy, something I insist on for myself too! I look forward to welcoming this 'bunch' of friends back to my home next year and am delighted that you recommend my home to other possible guests. regards Karen

Unfortunately, the home looks far better in pictures. There were many, many aspects that lacked attention(mold on toilet seats, stains on comforter, unstable therefore unsafe bed frame, broken blinds, unusable lamps, remotes, clocks and x-box, etc., etc.) and sadly, the London-based owner was extremely defensive and lacking empathy when all the issues were brought to her attention. We were so very excited upon our arrival only to slowly have our excitement diminished. Don't stay here unless you plan on spending 24-7 in the pool- the only highlight.Owner response: 'In the vacation rental business I do occasionally have times when trying to appease a renter is almost impossible....sadly this was one of those occasions, when the reviewer was a guest 4 months ago, and I don't want to give credence to these unfounded remarks by trying to defend such comments. Thankfully, and as can be seen by my other reviews, on such occasions I prefer my previous guest reviews to speak for my home. I keep my home immaculate and regularly update fixtures and fittings for guests, and my own, use. Any issues are dealt with immediately by my management company. Whilst living in England, I am not London based and have no idea why I am referred to as London based'

Dear Karen, January 4th - 11th 2013 I am writing to thankyou for the use of your home for our stay in Florida. Our family had a fantastic time at Disney and enjoyed your house during the evenings and our one "down day" from the park. Your directions to the house were very easy and in a location that was close to many stores for conveinience. My parents accompanied us on our trip so there were seven of us in our party and the house had more than enough room and things to do for everyone. The children loved the pool and hot tub. The games room was a big hit, we now know our family has a love for ping pong. The house is only a 15-20 minute drive to the park which is perfect it aloud us to get away from the "hustle & bustle" of it all. Our middle son has autism and we found it very beneficial to get away from the parks fast pace yet it was nice to not have to drive far to do that. The kitchen was fully stocked, lots of towels, and the house was extremely clean and very welcoming. We had to call maintenance regarding the pool heat, they answered the phone on the second ring and were very prompt to coming over to look at the pool. Turns out the thermostat needed replacing which could happen to anyone any time. It was fixed immediately and the pool and hot tub were at regular heat by the next day. Not to say it stopped our kids they were all in the pool when we arrived anyways. We can't thank the cleaning and maintenance staff enough for their time, they helped us with directions and stopped by and dropped off two new PS3 games for the boys to use during our stay. Our stay was above and beyond our expectations and we would highly recommend your house to others to stay at. When we are back in Florida we will be staying at your house again, our family speaks of our stay often and wish we were back there. Sincerly, Jenn Beeton,Ontario CanadaRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you so very, very much for offering up so much information for my prospective guests to read and sharing your experience in my home - I really appreciate the time both you have given. It was important to me that the home is very large to accommodate more than one family, if necessary, who can have their own space when they wish or a party around the pool splashing around with everybody. I insist that what you see in the photo’s is a true reflection of the home – the cleanliness, décor, fixtures and fittings are so important to ensure my valued guests enjoy the home and pool area as best they can. I appreciate your understanding regarding the thermostat and as you saw I insist that any issues are immediately dealt with. I find the games room is great fun for children and adults alike - so much to entertain, especially the ping pong! I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay and are already missing the home and Orlando...hopefully it won't be too long before we can welcome you and your family back to enjoy fun in the sun again.

We had such a wonderful week in this beautiful home. It was all we hoped for and more. Six of us rented it for the week of the Disney marathon. There was more room than we needed and could have easily accommodated 4 to 6 more people. We used the pool and the hot tub every day. The game room provided hours of entertainment. The home is gorgeously decorated and has all the comforts of home. Plus we rented the house for what it would have cost for one couple to rent one room on a Disney property. It wasn't in the hustle and bustle of Orlando but a close and convenient drive away. The management company was quick to respond to all of our inquiries.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so very much for your kind review, I really do appreciate the kindness of previous guests giving their time for future guests. I am very proud of my home and so many comment on the size of the home, how it offers the ability to either spend time as a group or go somewhere else for privacy. I am very strict regarding the décor and appreciate you're comments regarding how comfortable the home is - I insist on comfort as my guests are so important. The pool and spa are always a big draw - so many enjoy the warmth of the spa or splashing around in the pool. As you discovered renting a large home is more often cheaper than staying in a hotel. You have a lot more privacy, your own pool and spa area, separate bedrooms, full kitchen.....it all adds up to far more for your hard earned dollars in a quality vacation home. I appreciate your kind remarks and hope I have the pleasure of welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Karen Collinson

I can honestly say that my family n I truly enjoyed staying at your property at Calabay Park. This was my first time vacationing at a house because I was so afraid of scams and I live 18hrs away in N.J. To whom Ever is looking to rent this property by all means do so! Everything you need is there n my kids loved the pool so much that they wanted to leave Universal Studios n get in the pool cuz they were tired of walking lol! All the stores are so close by n Disney seemed only 10m away for me.I'm glad I chose your property we even cleaned n washed all your towels:) Thanks a bunch n I will be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you so very much for your kindly prepared review for my home on Calabay Park, I am delighted that it exceeded your expectations. As I appreciate there are so many scams now regarding rental homes I make it one of my main priorities to assure guests that my business and home are legitimate - thank you for your trust in me. I picked my home due to the location to as many facilities as I would also wish to find. I am delighted that the children took so much advantage of the pool - it's a wonderful area on the lanai....oh, and thank you so much for leaving all the towels clean and ready for the next guest, much appreciated. I do so hope we have the pleasure of your company again soon.

Karen, We had a wonderful time in Florida. The house was perfect for Scott and I, our two children and their spouses, and our 4 grandchildren. The kids loved their rooms! As a certified lifeguard, I am always extremely vigilent with children and swimming pools. Your extra detail for pool safety was appreciated. I highly recommend your vacation home for families. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Also, if your ever decide to spend some time in the mountains of NH, check us out .

Owner response: Thank you so much Suzanne for your very kind review. I insist on extra detail around the whole of the home but especially the pool area as safety is an issue that is paramount for all our valued guests. Thank you for your remarks about my home being beautiful, I strive so very hard to ensure the home remains immaculate and with all essentials that our guests should need. I hope we get chance to welcome you back again sometime.

Hi Karen, Just wanted to say thank you so much for allowing my family and me to stay in your beautiful home recently. We enjoyed all the things you had available for us. Each and everyone of us was satisfied with our chose of your home. Convenient to all the major attractions yet far enough for relaxing. On our next trip definately we will keep your home in mind.

Owner response: Thanks Bernice - making my home special and beautiful is a worthwhile job...why, because my valued guests, like yourself, take the time to notice and comment for possible future guests to see. I am delighted that you were satisfied with your choice. I pride the choice of home I chose due to it's proximity to the theme parks and closeness to the main shops that most guests would wish to use. I do hope we see you again sometime.

Thank you for opening your lovely home to my family. We had such an enjoyable family vacation, and enjoyed our stay in your home. We had a group of 11 people in 3 families ranging from 3 years old to over 60. The kids had such fun playing in the pool, and they loved the theme bedrooms. The women loved that the men cooked for us on the grill on several occasions giving us a vacation from the kitchen. Thanks again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Family vacations are so important I believe, which is why I strive to ensure my home is especially family friendly. The pool area I find the children, big and small, thoroughly enjoy. It is so satisfying to me when my valued guests have had such a good time and taken advantage of all I provide for their comfort....great comfort, especially when the men cook on the grill - ha! Hope we may have the chance of seeing you again sometime.

Hello Karen, Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo it was terrific! Everything was so clean and in great working order. Having the pool to come home too at night was the best. I also like the fact there were some good restaurants within a short drive. It was a great week with the family. Best Regards, BobRecommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind remarks regarding my Florida home - terrific is a great word to read and I appreciate it so much. Cleanliness is of major importance and I have a wonderful team who work so hard to ensure the home is spick and span for all incoming guests. I confess...I love my own pool too and luv to splash around in there after a hard days work at the theme parks! The location of the home is ideal of some excellent local restaurants and shopping malls too. I do hope we may see you back sometime in the future. Thank you again for your 'terrific' review.

"Hi Karen, We would like to thank you for another amazing stay in one of your homes. This was our 4th time staying with you while in the Orlando area. The 2nd time in this particular home "Calabay Villa", as well as great stays in 2 of your other homes. Calabay Villa was perfect when we stayed last year and we could not wait to return. When we arrived, we were surprised that you had already changed the themes and decorations in 2 of the rooms. Even though these rooms had already looked great and were in excellent condition, it just shows how much thought, time and care you put into each home. This definitely helps set you apart from other homes we have stayed in or viewed in the past. Ever since our first stay with you, we would not consider looking anywhere else when visiting Orlando. Your extra special touch in all that you do makes us never want to leave and always keeps us wanting to come back again for more. Even on days that we do not visit the theme parks, we are more than content to enjoy a great day in the home. From the pool/lanai, to the games room, to the entire experience that you have provided, your home is truly a vacation in itself! For anyone considering renting a home while on vacation, look no further. Karen is an absolute pleasure to deal with and goes above and beyond to accomodate in every way possible. Her homes are simply amazing and priced more than fairly for all of the additional that she provides. Renting a home can be a tough and concerening choice, but with Karen all of that is removed. She is a true professional with plenty of experience in the business. What you see is what you get, and you actually get even more than that, as you will find when you arrive. My family and I will definitely be planning our 5th stay in one of Karen's wonderful homes on our next trip to Orlando, as soon as we are able to. Hotels are something of the past for us. In most cases, you will pay the same or even less per week in a home, but receive so much more than a hotel room could ever provide. Try it once and you will wonder why you had not done it sooner! Thanks Again for everything Karen. The only thing we have ever been disappointed with, was when we had to leave and go home! Michael & Family Woodbridge, NJRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Dear Michael - frankly your 4th stay and wonderful review is amazing and I thank you for taking so much time to express your opinions for prospective guests to read - it really is so very humbling when a guest takes the amount of time you have done. As you noticed I regularly update my home ensuring it never becomes old or tired - linens and towels have to be in excellent conditional at all times, as does the pool, games room and all that I supply in the home - my guests are worth the best and that is what I try to offer at all times and to all those who vacation in my home. I am so obliged for your review and look forward to your 5th visit with us - hope it's soon. Kind regards and thanks again. Karen

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: About myself: I am a mid-forties 'Mom' with three gorgeous children, aged 23(kate) 16 (scott) and 13 (ellie), and I love them to bits. I've worked for myself for 23 years, owning and running a kitchen design and installation company,alongside a growing international portfolio of high specification rental homes. The rationale that underpins my kitchen company mission statement: ‘Designed by a woman with women in mind’ has been extended to the 'modus operandi' in our holiday rental's business. Business gurus say: ‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’. But we do. The female element of our rental customers really appreciates that we always pay obsessive attention to the little things - with a strong focus on the female perspective, and everything being 'just right'.
Why the Owner Chose Orlando:
It ticks all the boxes. It’s the ideal family holiday home. Our property is just 15-20 minutes from Disney but it’s wonderfully located in a sublime, tranquil environment.
I couldn’t find another home anywhere in the entire Orlando area that could equal this one, with its exceptional floor plan; including three master bedrooms and a second sitting room for the children. Perfect.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Our years of experience in interior design and a resolute determination to provide ultimate family luxury at a competitive price, have enabled us to claim ‘pole position’ on this development.
It’s about prime location (you will holiday at the largest plot on the development); a relaxing, quiet environment and an outstanding personal service from initial enquiry onwards.
And the best thing of all?
Our customers just keep on coming back.
