Guest Book

You have a lovely home in an ideal spot and we have spent 8 very happy weeks here….It’s great having Walmart so close as they seem to sell just about everything.


We have had a great time staying here and it’s been a great base for visiting all the attractions.
All in all, combined with the parks, the house and sunshine in December, it’s been BRILLIANT. Thank you.


Hello Christine
Well, we're now in our second week and feel it's going too quickly.
Our pool and hot tub are really lovely and warm. We couldn't believe how hot the pool was. Bliss! We feel quite spoilt really.
Once again, I just want to say how lovely it feels being here in your house. We feel really at home and I know we'll feel very sad to leave. If ever we come back to Orlando we'd certainly want to come back here. Thank you for letting us stay here.

Hi Christine,
We had a wonderful time.
The villa was beautiful.
It was our third villa but the best by far.
All the info was very helpful & Manny’s was a big hit.
Thanks again. Great holiday & thank you for making it a great one.
