We had a very enjoyable home from home experience. The Cracker Barrel is a must – good cheap food and v. friendly. We’re sure we’ll be back!

Davidson family, Northants & Redditch, UK December 2004

V.Nice. The weather could have been better! Disney superb, amazing effects! The Black Angus Steak a must – “prime fillet house medallion with garlic” Yum!

Cornes family, Gonzales, LA, USA February 2005

The house is lovely and is in an excellent location. The only problem we had was the king size mattress squeaked so much, my husband & I did not get to sleep together! Rainforest Café in Lake Buena Vista is a must.

Patrick family, Novi, Michigan, USA February 2005

Thanks for sharing your home with us. We stayed at your wonderful home in Kissimmee the week of Feb 12 ’05. The weather was great – between 70deg & 85deg throughout. We all thoroughly enjoyed the open space of the home, especially the kitchen and the pool. The way the home is decorated is great, the bedroom furniture too. We had a beautiful vacation and enjoyed your home (The mattress didn’t squeak either!). Good things we enjoyed – Fireworks at 8pm on the bridge, bicycling, swimming, miniature golfing, airboat ride to view wildlife, bald eagles & alligators. Cocoa beach is 1 hour away.

Zohill/Reichart family, PA, USA February 2005

Today it’s a beautiful day for Disney! Enjoyed the week!

Mr & Mrs Veracca, NY, USA February/March 2005

We had a great vacation. A couple of suggestions – 1. A cordless phone would be very handy when you are by the pool. 2. Also, the queen bedroom could do with an additional lamp. **

Nicholls Family, Redditch, UK March/April 2005

We have had a fantastic holiday in your beautiful house! We’ve had a great 2 weeks. What a location. Shortcuts were very useful & recommended restaurants were fab. Highly recommend Cracker Barrel for small children & TGI Fridays.

Mitchell family, Akwesasne, Quebec April 2005

Our stay was wonderful. Although it went by quickly. Hopefully we can return in a year or 2.

Mijovic-Cauldwell family, Redditch, UK April 2005

We have had a “magical stay”. Not too much time to spend in the villa but can definitely recommend the beds, showers, swimming pool & all the towels! We’d love to come back soon, please transport Disney + villa + weather to Redditch!

Charles family, Bromsgrove, UK May 2005

We had a very relaxing holiday: largely thanks to your very comfortable villa. We thought of taking the brilliant ice-maker & “speedy” washing machine – but decided you’d miss them! Ponderosa Breakfasts great value if you’re not too fussy. Hopefully we’ll be back for seconds, thirds…..

Sandhu kids, Wiltshire, UK June 2005

Fabulous stay, loved the pool & the games room. The weather wasn’t too bad, a few rainy days like it lots. Thanks! Mum & dad Great Villa, fantastic time. Key largo fantastic. Villa lovely

Gleave family, Skelmersdale, Lancs, UK June 2005

Lovely villa, home from home. Wonderful time. Good advice on shortcuts and places to eat. Don’t want to leave, hope to be back next year! Thanks

Jaipersaud family, New Jersey, USA July 2005

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, the accommodations were excellent. The emails and other helpful traffic hints saved us a lot of time. Best regards and thanks again.

Jackie & Sarah, Worcester, UK August 2005

Thanks for a great place to stay! We had a super time & plan to recommend the villa to our other sisters. We hope to return here in the future.

Knights family, Hertfordshire, UK October 2005

We had a lovely time in the villa. We wish it could be our (are) home. We loved the pool but scrapped our feet on the bottom & got painful cuts. Thank you for letting us stay.***

Rhodes family, Maidenhead, UK November 2005

Beautiful villa, very clean & well equipped – “home from home”. Beautiful pool – children loved it! Many thanks. PS Jim was brilliant – very helpful & friendly. Mother-in-law fancied him!!!

Martinez family, Cochabamba, Bolivia January 2006

Dear Homeowners, we have enjoyed very much our stay in your lovely home and made our stay in Orlando very pleasant and enjoyable. We’ll certainly remember your villa for our next stay. Many thanks & congratulations.

Balaji family, Littleton MA, USA February 2006

Dear Jan and family, we really enjoyed our stay in your very neat home. We got to stay in the villa as it rained and felt very relaxed. We loved the location as it is very close to Disney and all other facilities. We hope to come back soon. Best wishes

Selas children, Brick, NJ, USA February 2006

Dear Jan and family, we had such a wonderful time. We loved it here and we hope to come back too. We also went to Disney. It was much nicer here than at a hotel. Hope to come back soon.

Moore family, Barstow, Florida, USA February 2006

We only live about an hour away but staying in your home made our 1st trip to Disney with our daughter fantastic! We didn’t feel like we had to spend the entire day at the park – we were able to leave early, go late, whatever we needed to do for our family that day. Thank you so much.

Weinberg family, Efrat, Israel February 2006

We had a great stay here. I plan on coming back soon. Thanks!

Nicholls family, Nova Scotia, Canada March 2006

We had a wonderful time staying in your lovely home. Everything was clean and well stocked and we appreciate all the extras so much – especially the shortcut directions to Disney. Thanks again, hope to be back.

Farrell family, PA, USA March 2006

Dear Jan, we enjoyed our stay in your lovely home. Thank you for sharing it with us. We also enjoyed your library of books. We had 3 generations and all had “a ball”. Thank you again! It was a great time.

Rowan family, Solihull, UK April 2006

Had a great stay; villa beautiful and found to have everything we needed. Thanks for useful tips. Needed more time to do everything (good excuse to come back – can’t wait!). Will definitely book this villa again. Thank you

Westing family, Slough, UK April/May 2006

The villa is great. Everything we need for a great holiday is here. We will be glad to return at Christmas. A special thank you to Em for her help. Thank you.

Molloy family, Norfolk, UK May 2006

What a fantastic holiday and villa. The villa had everything we could have wanted with the washing machine being particularly useful with having a typically messy 3 ½ year old son. We suggest “Key W Kools” for lovely steak meals and Ponderosa for buffet style “all you can eat” breakfast. We hope to return very soon. Many thanks

Salamon family, Cardiff, Wales, UK June 2006

We had a fantastic holiday. The villa was lovely and had everything we needed. The shortcuts to the Disney parks were excellent! Kids loved the pool and couldn’t wait to go for a swim. The pool table was also a “big hit”. We celebrated 2 birthdays during our trip so we had a character breakfast at Magic Kingdom and an illumination boat trip at Epcot. Both wonderful. Many thanks.

Younger family, Chester-Le-Street, UK June 2006

Another truly magical holiday here in beautiful Florida. Don’t forget to conquer Everest, see Philarmagic and do not miss the wishes fireworks at Magic Kingdom. Awesome, brilliant and magical. As they say here, we’ve been truly blessed for 2 weeks. Lovely villa, special thanks for the shortcut directions to Disney – saved time and tempers. Next guests have an awesome time!

And they did….because it was us! We had our summer holidays and loved every minute of it. Our children are 8, 6 and 4 and just love it in Florida – not only for the parks but for the hours spent in the pool and at the beach (we drive to Clearwater – truly beautiful). We will update this guestbook the next time we go – until then, we hope you all have a great time! Jan, Andy, Matthew, Josie & Caitlin.

** cordless phone and lamp were duly added!

*** I was very worried about this comment and contacted them immediately. It turned out the children wrote this & Mum was mortified – apparently they had spent so many hours in the pool one day that their skin was all wrinkled & caught it running around – not a fault of ours! Following on from us!.......

Beadle Family, St Albans, UK, August 2006

Had a fantastic holiday in a lovely villa. Kids loved the pool almost more than Disney. Jan’s tips & recommendations were spot on – TGIs & Cracker barrel in particular were a hit. We have only just touched the surface of Disney & all Orlando has to offer and are sure to be back! Thanks

Mr & Mrs Wells, Leeds, UK, September 2006

We just wanted to say thank you so much for such a lovely place to stay. So very clean & well equipped, we came here on our honeymoon and although we were out most of the day, we knew that we could come back to the wonderful villa just to chill out. We’ve stayed in hotels in Kissimmee, Int Drive & Disney & this is far the best! We have already told everyone about it, thank you for the cherry on top of the icing. “We will be back”.

Umas family & friends, Columbia & India. September 2006

We had a wonderful time staying here. House is very functional and ideally located. Kids enjoyed a lot and we too with Mr Umas’ family who stays in Columbia and brought us here. Thanks PS Tejas (5.5 years) says he had great fun everywhere with Mickey Mouse, with all. Says he is happy now and going home back to Columbia.

Gleave Family, Skelmersdale, Lancs, UK, September 2006

We are delighted to have returned to this wonderful villa! Weather was brilliant this time only rained twice. No queues at parks (Universal, Sea World, Busch Gardens & KSC) all fantastic. Very quiet at the villa and no others seemed occupied. Hopefully back in Sept 07 to enjoy Disney once again!
PS Hope the next visitors have fab time! Loved the villa. Nice and coszy. The pool came in handy after being at the theme parks. I would live here if I could. Went out every night for tea. Love from Melanie

Pavia & Elwells family, Salford, UK. October 2006

Had a fantastic time, found amenities easily. Villas was excellent, couldn’t fault it and weather in the 90s every day. Hope to be back soon! PS If you like shopping Prime 1 outlets highly recommended designer clothes at cheap prices – Eating out Ponderosa recommended. Many thanks again

Moore Family, Barstow, Florida, USA. October 2006

We’ll be back again in March! Thanks for another GREAT stay!

Nolan family, Redditch, UK. November 2006

Jan, thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home, it really is a credit to you! You were right Jan, John fell in love with Florida and although he tried ¬very hard he was unable to prove you wrong! All the tips in your folder were a great help and the buffet at the Golden Corral is to die for! Again “thank you” for one of the best holidays ever.

Norman & Shamenak families, Manassas, VA, USA. November 2006

We had a wonderful stay & hope to be back next year. Thank you!

Sennett family, Mantua, New Jersey, USA. November/December 2006

We had a wonderful time! The house is beautiful and very clean! Cracker Barrel is a great place to eat and all of your “tips” were very useful, especially the “short cut”. Thank you for a great time!

Wang family, Edison, New Jersey, USA. December 2006

Jan, thank you for letting us to stay in beautiful villa! It’s even better than it looks on picture! Your tips and shortcuts are great! The weather has been perfect, nearly 80 deg f all week long. We enjoyed the Disney parks tremendously and we even managed to play in your pool for about an hour….We’ll certainly come back when our daughter is older and stay in your villa again!

& then…we went back for New Year. We tried “Key W Kools” that the Molloy family had recommended – how FAB is that restaurant! The steak really was melt in the mouth. Andy & I had one of the shared main courses including lobster and crab claws – fantastic! The kids were pleased that we added the air hockey table – even if it did bring out a competitive streak in one or two of us! We’ll update again after our Summer Holidays, 2007! Jan
