January 2007 - Ketchams, Young, Doboleckis - South Bend. Indiana.
The house and pool were very nice and met all our needs. I just wanted to let you know we enjoyed our stay at your villa. The house was very comfortable and clean and the pool and spa were great. The location was great too!

January 2007 - Dave and Trisha Aylesbury - Evesham. U.K
Many thanks for letting us stay in your lovely well furnished and equipped home, Use of Internet and Skype was fantastic! Many Thanks.

January 2007 - Denise Polgar - Ontario. Canada.
We loved the house, it worked out great for us we would love to use it again in the future. It was great.

Feb 2007 - Richard Pooley – Hartley Kent UK
Had a great time. Kids loved it - spent a week in all the Disney parks and ate mainly locally at Champions Gate or in the house (as too tired to be out for dinner after a long day at the parks).
The kids are already on about our next trip and we would definitely use the house again. I have already recommended it to a couple of my dads friends.

Feb 2007 - Bob Ireland – St. Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
Your home was a joy to live in while we were there, and it felt like being home. Some homes have a good felling in them, which is present as soon as you enter, yours is one of those homes. Ray, I want to thank you so much for letting us rent your home and making it a great place for us to stay. We are planning our next trip already and want to rent from you again for a longer period of time.

Mar 07 - Marcey Morton – New Boston, New Hampshire, USA
I just wanted to thank you once again for a lovely visit! Your home is
beautiful and well cared for. I could tell you live there vs. just
maintaining the property as a rental only.

Mar 07 – Jeff Stubbert – Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada
Thankyou so much for the use of your home. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the facilities enormously. The beds were wonderful to sleep in and the pool was great to relax in when we arrived home from the parks. It was quiet at night and the wooded area gave us a lot of privacy. Overall we had a great stay and have recommended your home to others. Hopefully we can return again another year.

March 07 – Charles Odum – Coveington, GA, USA
We had a great time at your home and in fact now are suffering withdrawal pains as we adjust to "real life" again. I do miss that pool!. Having 5 bedrooms was very convenient for the company we had come visit. Everything was as promised, if not better. You've invested in quality furniture and beds and it made for a very comfortable stay. Taking Lake Wilson Road to the 192 was very convenient, much better than the location we were at last year.

April 07 – Eraldo Salini – Ammanford, Canarthenshire UK
We all had a great holiday and all thought your villa was really nice,very well equipped ,very comfortable and in a good location we couldn't ask for more!
There is not many holidays that after 12 days i'm not ready to come home but we could all have easily stayed for another week or 2 and will definitely recommend it to others.

June 07 – Tom & Margaret O’Grady – Co. Cork, Ireland
We had a fantastic time at Disney, Seaworld and St Petes Beach but best of all was your excellent villa.
Everything we needed and more in a really central location.
The kids (and parents) loved relaxing in the pool at the end (and sometimes in the middle) of hot Disney days.
We were really glad we found your web page and would strongly recommend it to other guests.
Thanks again for everything - especially coming in the day earlier at the start.
You have a beautiful home and thank you for sharing it with us.

June 07 – Ruth & Chris Roffler – Winoma, MN, USA
We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed every day and evening to the fullest. Your home was everything we expected and more. We felt as comfortable and relaxed as if we were in our own homes.
It was so convenient to everything we did during our stay. The pool got a workout every night after returning home from our full day of adventure. We will definitely recommend your villa to friends and family who are planning trips to the Orlando area

June 07 – M Hitchings – Hampton, VA, USA
My family and I had a wonderful time at your villa, and a very good experience with the management company.
One person in our party left her wallet at the villa and the management Company (I think his name was Dave) sent the wallet to my house in Virginia and it was waiting for us when we came back home.
The vacation could not have been nicer.

July 07 – Alexis & Jason Doyle – Bolton, Lancashire, UK
The villa was absolutely beautiful. It was absolutely spotless and the furnishings were lovely. We absolutely loved spending time in and around the pool. We had a couple of minor problems with the pool, but the management company were very helpful and arrived quickly to sort them out. We also appreciated the management company giving us a courtesy call on the first day to check if everything was okay, that was a nice touch.
Thank you very much for arranging the table tennis, my son and husband spent many hours in there (usually late at night!) playing. We intend to return to Orlando in 2009, so we will be in touch.

August 07 – Evelyln Delgardo & Family – New Britian, CT, USA
Our family had a fabulous time staying in your home. The location is great and a wonderful neighbourhood. The kids enjoyed the pool as well as the air hockey game. Actually most of our time was spent in the pool. We treated your home as if it were our own and we will definitely go on your website to recommend your property. I hope my family and I have the opportunity to stay in your home again.

September 07 – Susan Harris & Family – Lewisville Texas USA
We had a great time in Florida. The kids really enjoyed all the parks, especially the Magic Kingdom and Blizzard Beach. We hit them all in our 6 days there as well as driving to the beach in Clearwater, FL for the day so that they could play in the ocean and make sand castles.
Overall the house was perfect for us. The accommodations were great and it was really nice to have a pool to come home to after a long day at the park. I would say that our visit was a huge success.
We've already recommended your home to other families planning their vacations

October 07 – Thomas & Caulkett Familys – Maldon, Essex, UK
We all had a great time again on our second visit to your home, done a few different things inc air boats at cypress lakes (great fun)
Went to Daytona for bike festival well worth the visit but very busy. Kennedy space centre was very interesting, went to cocoa beach and saw a Space Shuttle launch whilst we were there great experience. Unable to do a fishing trip at Clearwater.
Thank you for recommending Veronica, flights car hire etc everything spot on.
Villa as good as we remembered great to have a good base after busy days at parks and malls.

November 07 – Bill & Alison Torry – Meopham, Kent, UK
We all had a fantastic time. A week is not long enough. Your home was perfect, a great base, very comfortable beds and lots of luxury. Looking forward to coming again next year.

December 07 – Chad Laraby – New York, USA
Our first experience of renting a home. Best decision we have ever made. Your home was a great place to stay and lived up to everything we had expected. Will be recommending it to family and friends and hope to come back again in 2008

December 07 – Jean Shaw– Perterborough, UK
You made Christmas and New Year a very special time for us all. The decorations we requested were excellent. Both the tree and the lights internal and external looked fantastic. We had a fabulous time and your home is beautiful, everything anyone could want, luxury and comfort for everyone.

December 2006 – Jill Morrow – Texas USA
I can't say enough about our stay in Ray and Pat’s home. The location is quiet and peaceful yet so very convenient. We wanted to be near Disney yet have a retreat at the end of the day and this house was all of that and more. Let me tell you, we didn't want to leave! The furnishings are top notch. The management company first class. Ray and Pat were the absolute easiest to deal with. I researched villa's for well over two months and chatted with many, many owners.
I'm so very glad we decided to go with the Ray and Pat’s home. They made our trip special and wonderful. Let me give you a quick example. We were arriving on Christmas eve. I was terribly concerned about stores and restaurants being closed by time we got there and the next day. Ray contacted his management company for help. They actually grocery shopped for me with my list and didn't even charge me a service fee or anything! I could not believe it.
The house is in amazing condition. Everything is new. The bedding is better than what I have at my own home. It is extremely well cared for and we didn't have a single problem while there. Ray and Pat truly go the extra mile.

October 2006 - Jane Loveday – Castleford UK
We had a lovely time at your villa, it was perfect for us, it was nice to meet you and hope you had a lovely time over here.

August 2006 - Nigel Chilton – Tipton, West Midlands UK
The Villa was great and your Management Company were very helpful. We all enjoyed our time there and will be thinking of booking for next years holiday.

July 2006 Craig Lenihan and family – Ottery St. Mary, Devon UK
Just to say thanks very much for the use of your wonderful villa, we had a fantastic 4 weeks in Florida and managed to see all the sites we wanted to, plus lots extra. Your villa was fantastic, extremely well situated to all the attractions, and really homely (the one we stayed at 3 years ago at Tuscan Ridge was sterile in comparison), the pool heating and laptop was a real bonus for us all. I will thoroughly recommend your villa to anyone that asks, and you are welcome to pass on my e-mail should a recommendation be required for any future renters

July 2006 - Gina Pletcher and family – Texas, USA
We enjoyed every bit of our vacation. Your house was wonderful! Our
children wanted to stay longer. In fact, when it was hot at Disney they
wanted to go back to the house and swim - even though we live in Texas and
swim several times a week! We would love to come back in a couple of years to go to Disney again as we didn't get to do everything we wanted to do. We enjoyed meeting y'all!

April 2006 - Caron Smedley and family – Worcester, UK
Had wonderful time in Florida. Villa was lovely pictures never do them the justice they deserve. knew we had chosen a nice villa, but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Everything looks so much better when you actually see it. plus nice to have lots of china and cutlery etc, just like home from home. Perfect villa with great facilities. Many thanks for great holiday

April 2006 - Tiffany Gause and family – Chesapeake, USA
I just wanted to thank you for opening your home to my family and I. We really enjoyed it! It was more relaxing and comfortable than I ever thought that it would be. I have been giving a lot of folks your website so that more people can hear about the home away from home in Davenport, FL. Thanks again and God bless!

March 2006 - Laurie Cahoon & Party – Westmont IL, USA
We had a great stay in Florida. I must say that my girls loved the pool. I am so glad that I decided to have it heated during our stay. Thanks again for the use of your home, we loved it and hope to return soon.

March 2006 - Janene Smith – Cleveland OH, USA
I just wanted to let you know, that we truly enjoyed our vacation to Florida. Your vacation home was perfect for our needs. I tell everyone I know about it, and how perfect it was. Thanks again for all of your help and assistance. I feel bad, we completely forgot to sign the guest book, but I wanted you to know we had a great time.

February 2006 - Mark Gavin & family – Medway MA, USA
There are a couple of things that I would highlight that we enjoyed the most. I think the proximity to Disney cannot be underplayed. Being only a single exit away made the trips back and forth a breeze. I think the other big thing that drew us to your property was the general style. A lot of competing properties had almost the exact same decor, which was very neutral and boring (i.e., off white bedding & green palm trees). We found your property more "like home", with a nice style but not over the top. We wish you well with your property in the future. We won't hesitate to recommend it to friends if they're heading toOrlando.

February 2006 - David Norton & Family – Towster, Northant, UK
Having been now 6 or 7 times your personal attention and the quality of your villa and location are second to none. I wish that other families that trawl through literally hundreds of different villas could learn from my experience of several visits. I can guarantee that your villa lives up to and beyond what the pictures show - I know others don't. If they want that side taken care of they shouldn't go pass your web site and get their cheque books out and book it up straight away!
Ray, you can quote me on the last paragraph - I do mean it. Thank you and your wife for allowing us to borrow your home. Oh yes... we are jealous ;).
