We thoroughly enjoyed this home. Our group of 9 had plenty of room. The children loved the pool and game room. The home was very clean. I would stay here again!

Bugs - and broken A/C

Guest: Heather (Nova Scotia, Canada)
Date of Stay: 04/01/12 Review Submitted: 05/03/12

I first have to say that I have absolutely not complaints about Michelle who we dealt with regarding our issues with this home. She tended to our issues to the best of her ability as quickly as possible. To start off, most of the reviews on this site are for a condo, not this house, so be careful. The A/C wasn't working from the time we arrived, and the house was very very humid and hot. -Michelle dealt with this as quickly as she could, and by day three, the unit had been fixed/replaced, and was working. She also negotiated a small rebate from the owner for our discomfort. Kudos to her for that, although it really didn't make up for the discomfort, but the effort was appreciated. We found some cockroaches in the home - Michelle immediately had the pest control come spray the next day (maybe due to the excessive humidity from the broken A/C, although even after the spraying, we continued to find them in the garage, bathrooms downstairs, and laundry room.) We saw one in the garage the morning we left. This was extremely upsetting - to the point we were definitely not comfortable there. I asked for a refund for my remaining days at the beginning of the week and was prepared to find a hotel, but Michelle couldn't give me the refund (not her fault), so we were basically stuck. These two major things have completely turned me off from renting homes again. This was the third home we'd rented in Florida over the past three years, and it was by far the worst. I expected the dirty carpets, some things to be broken (two broken chairs, broken fridge shelves, cracked tile, I think the front door jam was cracked, the showers were awful - horrible spray (sprayed everywhere), it was like a fine mist, and almost impossible to rinse your hair, and one of the bathtubs was visably dirty on arrival). I verified these things with Michelle once we arrived, and she agreed they were already on the file, so no worries with our deposit. -These things were mildly annoying, but not the end of the world. It seems like the house is not being kept up. It's the only lawn on the street full of weeds, and holes (while are from armadillos according to the very nice pest control lady, who educated our boys about them) - apparantly they liked this particular yard due to the excessive weeds. Like I say, I don't expect anything elaborate or excessive, but it seems like the owner just doesn't take any pride and isn't taking care of the property. Bottom line - renter beware.

I looked at hundred's of places before choosing this one. We had a group of 10 and needed lots of room for the 3 families there for a wedding. It was perfect for us. The kids had the pool and game room to keep themselves busy. There was enough room elsewhere for the adults to relax or visit. I would definately rent from them again given the price and accomodations. It wasn't a 5-star resort but then again I didn't pay for one(and I have before).

Orlando Vacation overall good experience

Guest: PF (Atlanta, GA)
Date of Stay: 04/07/11 Review Submitted: 05/23/11

The house was ok. Big enough for 6 adults and 6 kids. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub after a tiring day at the parks. The game room was great. Bathroom vanities seriously need upgrades. In one of the upstairs bathroom, the toilet seat was broken, it was impossible to even sit on it so we ended up not using that toilet altogether. Showers were spraying water everywhere and shower curtains were inadequate to hold the water inside. Some of the dining chairs were broken. There was no start up toilet rolls, soaps in upstairs bathrooms. We were lucky we carried it with us.

Owner response:The toilet seat has now been replaced, once we were made aware of it. All bathrooms should have 1 roll of T/P, the showwers seem fine and the curtains, never had this comment before?One dining chair had a hairline crack which has now been repaired, once we new about it.

My family and I stayed at the Vista Cay resort condo for 13 nights in April. We were not disappointed at all. The condo has everything you need and more! The pool is a 2 second walk, the pool is spacious and the grounds are well cared for. We have been traveling to Florida every year for the past 7 and this was the nicest and largest condo we have stayed in. The location was perfect! Very close to everything nice and handy to have Pub-lix and Walgreen's with in walking distance. My parents enjoyed the Shingle Creek golf course across the street. The rental transactions were smooth and Wayne is pleasant to deal with. I will be recommending this condo to my friends and family. Thanks again!

Owner response:This is a 6 bedroom rental, the review below relates to the owners 3 bedroom condo in Vista cay - good to hear they enjoyed that unit!

We enjoyed our 5 day stay at the condo. Wayne went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect, making a special trip to bring a coffee maker. The condo is very roomy and is located with easy access to everything you would need, including a Publix grocery. We have booked again for this coming year. Thank you so much Wayne for making our trip enjoyable and comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay at your Liberty Village home. The home was spacious and very clean. The atmosphere is very relaxing and inviting and we felt very much at home during our stay. The pool area and games room kept our little ones well occupied on days that we stayed in and did not venture out to the parks. We would truly love to stay here again the next time we travel to Florida, and we would most definetely refer all of our friends and relatives. Thanks to Michelle for all of your help and professionalism during the whole booking process:)

What awesome accomodations!! The location to Disney was closer than anticipated and only an 8 minute drive which couldn't have been easier. The house was very spacious and cleaner than any home we have rented. We enjoyed the heated pool, game room and peaceful lake view ambiance. It was the perfect Disney vacation for all. I also want to add that Wayne and Jessica were more than available and happy to answer all our questions. Thank YOU!

We absolutely loved the home! We were so close to Disney, it took only minutes to get there. The home and pool were very well kept. The home is beautiful and so roomy. We had no problems at all and would recommend this home. If you want a great location, beautiful home , fantastic price and great management personnel there is no need to look anywhere else!

We could not have had a better place for our Girl Scout Troop to stay. The house was absolutely perfect as a matter of fact our girls decided to stay and play in the pool one morning instead of going to Universal for the whole day. Wayne and his wife were great and checked to make sure we had everything we needed. This was by far the absolute best Vacation Rental I have ever had and will stay with no one else when I return to Kissimmee. Thanks againg for helping to make our trip so wonderful.

Our extended family enjoyed our stay in your home. Everything is as pictured. Our grandchildren,(and parents)enjoyed seperate bedrooms, pool and play room. Unlike a hotel where , when the kids go to bed, you had to shut down for the evening. Also liked being very close to Disney. Didn't have to go on I-4. Would stay again and will reccomment to my friends, but not too many.

We stayed in this villa in Feb of 2008 during speedweek. Everyone loved it. The house is very spacious and well decorated. There was more than enough room to accomadate 10 of us. The owners are awsome to deal with. They really take care of you and they make sure everything is perfect. If your looking for a great place to enjoy your holiday, dont look any further. You wont find anything better. Norm.

Nice big house with lots of rooms. Each year me and my wife book a house to allow other families to come with us. This house has lots of rooms for more then one family. We like the location a lot. It was close to shopping centers like a super Walmart and close the all of the parks. We liked the house so much that we are booking it again. Thanks Paul Miller

This home is beautiful and clean! The rooms are spacious and awsomely decorated. We had a wonderful 5 days despite Florida's 19 degree windchill and the coldest 4 days in many years! Being from Michigan, it didn't stop us from seeing all the close attractions available in the area. I will not hesitate to contact Wayne Brown again on our next trip to Florida!

This is a great home in a convienient location. It was our base station while we traveled to Tampa, Jacksonville, Datona Beach and Miami. The home is beautifully decorated and easily accomodated our family of 10. The grandchildren enjoyed the pool and the XBox and the adults thought the big screen TV was great. I would definitely recommend it. Doug & Family, Denver, Colorado

Michelle,We wanted to say that we enjoyed the rental experience at the home we rented in Liberty Hall. It was our trip with the whole family, which may be a ‘once in a life time’ because of the difficulty of family together planning for such a time. So our ‘year of a million dreams’ is now a reality of the past. Memories & pictures for a lifetime.Thanks again,Ben

The house was great. Much bigger and nicer than the pictures showed. We had a little trouble with the heat in the pool, but wheen we called, it was corrected right away. I was nervous about booking sight unseen, but after our stay I would highly recommend this to all my friends and family. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a wonderful vacation.

We just came back from the vacation home and found it exceeded our expectations. The home was much prettier in person than the photos showed. Very close to all of the theme parks and, of course, Wal-Mart!! I have already recommended this home to four friends looking to rent in the next two years. I will definitely stay there again if it is available!! Michelle, thanks for all of your help, you have been wonderful, once again. It is always a pleasure renting from you. Hope to see you back in a few more years!!!

The house is very beautiful. I will recommend the house to my friends. Mr Brown was helpful. Only one thing, when we paid for heat pool, it would be pleasant if the pool was heated all day long.

Owner response:Thasnsk for adding to the guest book - for future guests, the pool is heated for a 9 hour period - thru the day and switches off when up to temp - 85 degrees!!!!
