We will be intouch again when we decide to visit the US probably 2010. With a bit of luck it will be sooner. Again THANK YOU Dreams do come true.

Hello frances,
Thank you so much for the thought you have put into your villa, it truly made our holiday. There was everything and more than we could have hoped for in the villa. We really enjoyed coming back to the villa in the evenings and relaxing by the pool. We ordered a few taxis and they arrived on time with no problems at all. We had no reason to contact the Management Company as everything was perfect but thank you for supplying their details in case we needed them. We would totally recomend your villa to friends and family who might be wanting to go to Florida.
Thank you once again for all your thoughtfulness.
William and family.

Hi Frances
Sorry to take so long to get back to you after our brilliant Florida holiday but I had to go back to work on Monday and have been trying to catch up all week. I could have done with another week off to chill out and relax really. We had a wonderful stay in your lovely villa, we couldn't fault it, it catered for all our needs and it was well situated for all the parks. Our two girls loved the pool and the games room. It was ideal for our two year old (Abigail) to gain confidence in the water and after day one she wanted to 'wim' every time she looked out of the patio doors and although everyone said we wouldn't have time for a games room, it was great for the children to amuse themselves while we were getting ready to go out.
On the day we went to Epcot which was a late one because we stayed to watch the World Showcase and it was the only day we had a thunderstorm and loads of rain, I took the wrong piece of paper instead of the one with the keypad number on and couldn't for the life of me remember the number. We were locked out in the rain with no contact phone numbers or anything, my name was mud. The only thing that I had in my mind were the letters ***. Fortunately the visitors at the next villa (***) were very helpful and telephoned their management company who said they had heard of *** and called back with their number. I rang them and spoke to a very helpful Terry who gave me the keypad number. Needless to say, I engraved the number on my brain after that. Apart from this one day, we had lovely warm weather and came home with good tans.
The highlight of our stay was the day at Discovery Cove, it was expensive but unforgettable.
We didn't realise at first, that the day we went to Blizzard Beach was their first day open after refurbishment and we virtually had the whole park to ourselves for the day. It was a great day away from the crowds.
As I said previously, we couldn't fault the villa and think you've done a great job of making it a comfortable and relaxing base for a great holiday. We would love to stay again sometime and will certainly recommend it to our friends and family.
Many thanks
Best regards
Caroline

Hi Frances
Just to let you know that we are home safe & sound & that we had a wonderful vacation in your beautiful villa.
The house was in a great position, close enough to the parks but really peaceful when we wanted a quiet day by the pool, also close to the Tampa exit so it was easy so nip over to St Pete’s for days at the beach.
Thank you again for allowing us to spend nearly three weeks in a your lovely home it sped by far too quickly. We will certainly recommend you to all our friends.
Best Wishes
Cathy & Mick

Dear Frances,
We have returned and have had a great time.
Your villa is lovely and the tree you provided was an extra special touch. We have left a star for the top and a red bow for the front door, which I hope starts your Christmas decoration box which I hope others will add too.
Please let me know if you require any further information or have any concerns following our stay.
We will be recommending your villa to our friends.
Many thanks
Alison

Hi Frances,
we had a lovely time in your Villa and it suited us completely although we didn't seem to be there that much as we were so busy!
We kept asking the kids what they wanted to do and they would always say that they wanted to go back to the villa and go in the pool instead of going to a park!
Anyway, thanks again for letting us stay in your villa. We had a great time and would definately recommend to our friends, etc. In fact I already have mentioned it to someone who is looking to come over next year!
Kind regards,
Penny

Hi Frances,
I just wanted to say thanks so much for the help with the Villa, it was really great and ideal for us. We really enjoyed it and the villa was excellent, really comfortable, loads of room and a great location for us. Also, we had some things delivered to the management company and Jennifer and Debbie there were both really helpful to us - it even turns out Debbie used to live a stones throw away from a guy who was with us
and they worked in the same pub back in the day!
So thanks again, and we might well book again next year!
Cheers
Ian Miller and family
