Maurice M ONeill N Ireland 06/13/11 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: Steve, we had an incredible time. Loved the place and for sure will be booking again on our next trip! Again thanks so much! Rob McKee Staff Pastor - Lifecentre Rob McKee Ottawa 04/15/11 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: Good Morning Steve, Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at Portobello. It was everything we had hoped and worked very well and suited our needs completely. The house layout is fantastic for two families with the queen room perfect for grandparents. We had a few minor problems the battery in one of the smoke alarms needed replacing and one call to the management company had it taken care of within a hour. Great service. Once vacation schedules have been finalized we may be back to the Villa next spring as we had such a fabulous time this year. Close to everything – loved Clairmont and the absence of the Disney hustle and bustle. Take care – all the best. Don, Bonnie, Kelly, Kyle and Isla Bisset. B. Bissett Calgary, Alberta 10/26/10 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: Hi Steve, I just wanted to let you know that we once again had a great time in the villa, this year before going into the villa we did a cruise and we enjoyed the villa as much as the cruise. The villa was very clean and well presented and so relaxing to stay in that I wished I stayed more than a week this year, still I am in no doubt that I will be back. The other good thing about this villa is Steve himself, he is so easy to communicate with, prior to travelling and once you have arrived. Great guy to deal with looking forward to doing so again. Thanks once again Steve for time in the villa cannot wait for the next time Keith K Wilkinson U.K 09/22/10 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: Steve Waiting at Orlando Airport for flight back to UK. Just wanted to say a very big thank you for the use of your villa - it was great in all ways. Thank you as well for all the info. Hopefully we will be in touch again in the next couple of years to arrange a repeat. Incidentally the cleaners were there at 10 when we left - seemed very nice. Once again very many thanks for the villa - Glenbrook is a lovely location and it all made for a truly memorable holiday. Kind regards The Kenyon family C Kenyon 08/03/10 Positive Wow what a wonderful last five days to our holiday in Orlando. The villa was a welcome respite after all the hustle and bustle of the theme parks and when the kids found the games room in the garage with pool table, footie table, darts, tv, they left us alone by the pool for the best part. Great pool toys for them to enjoy too and a bbq for our use made it a fabulous end to a great holiday. Free internet access meant we could stay in touch with those left in UK too. Thanks so much and we will definiately try to get this villa again for the future. Cheers Carole, Bob and family. Carole and Bob Fearn, Farnborough, Hants, UK 07/18/10 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: Hi Steve, I would be grateful if you could advise the availability and price of the rental of your villa around the 10th September 2010. We are looking to stay for 14 nights somewhere around this date. My wife and I, stayed at your villa in September 2008, which was booked through First Choice and enjoyed it immensley. We have been regular visitors to the Orlando area staying in other Villas and can honestly say that yours is definately the best, hence the reason, why we would like to stay again. I would appreciate if you could come back to me on the availability,hopefully with good news. Many thanks and Kind regards John W. Whiteley John Whiteley UK 07/18/10 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: Steve, Just wanted to thank you very much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful villa in Florida. We arrived back home yesterday after a fabulous two weeks. We thought the villa was fabulous and we all had a fantastic time. We spent a lot of time around the villa relaxing by the pool and enjoying the games room. Facilities were excellent. If you dont mind we have taken some of your business cards home and will be highly recommending your villa to our friends and family. It was depressing come back home to our house which is just a shadow of your villa - even our luggage didnt want to come home as we have not received it yet! We met some really lovely people on our visit this year such as Mark (the pool guy) and his wife Dawn. We also met neighbours of yours - Mike and Gillian who live by the clubhouse. If and when we are able to return to Florida, we will be in touch to see about renting again. Steve, thanks again for accommodating us for the late check out. We really appreciated it and thanks for everything you have done for us to make this such a wonderful relaxing holiday. Many thanks, Cormac and Fiona Small Mr C Small N Ireland 01/01/10 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: My english is not too good, but we would like to say you that your home is more beutifull when we arrive than when we see it in the pictures. It is too confortable, perfectly cleaned and organaized. Thanks again and best regards Rafael Rafael Rivas Venezuela 10/05/09 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: Hi Steve, I just want to e mail you to let you know what a great time we all had on holiday and this is down to the fact that we had such a great villa, I’ve stayed in villas before but my parents have not and they were overwhelmed by the villa that they did not want to leave. Both my parents are in there 70’s and for all of the holiday they were like two little kid’s in the theme parks and back at the villa in the pool playing around with balls and airbeds things we could not really do at a hotel, hiring a villa is the only way to visit that part of the U.S.A. in my opinion it is just so much more relaxing after a long day in the parks and I’m glad that my parents could experience it all as well. They both liked it so much that they want to go back with brother and his family in 2011 plus cousin and a friend I work with has asked for information on the villa and next year I have already booked a cruise for a week in Florida and was looking for a quote for the villa from the 10th October 2010 until 17th October 2010 (7 nights) can you include the pool heating in this quote also please? Just thinking sitting here typing this bloody freezing this time last week it was red hot in the 90 still I could look through the picture’s it might warm me up a bit ha ha! Thanks once again Keith K Wilkinson Wales, UK 09/13/09 Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner: Review submitted by guest to villarenters website We are a family of four - two children aged 17 and 14. We decided to have a villa instead of just a hotel room - no rush for a sunbed by the poolside. It was lovely being able to eat in or out, with the excellent kitchen facilities and local stores to purchase everything you

THE PROPERTY IS VERY NICE AND CONFORTABLE. IT IS PERFECTLY EQUIPED. MY KIDS SPENT A LOT OF TIME PLAYING PULL. THE ONLY THING WAS THE SHEETS AND TOWELS SEEMS TO BE NOT CLEAN ENOUGH. WE WASHED ALL OF THEM BEFORE USING. WE HAD TO BUY ADDITIONAL PILLOWS AND LEAVE THEM IN THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY WERE DIRTY. ANYWAY WE HOPE TO GO SOME SUMMER TO USE THE SWIMMING POOL BECAUSE WE ENJOYED THE CHRISTMAS TIME WE STAYED THERE. WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE TO FIND TWO DIFERENT CHRISTMAS TREES!!!

Owner reply:
Just a little confused about this review,We were the last ones in the Villa before this guest and as normal a lot of time was spent on cleaning it. We purchased a lot of new towels, new sheets for the Queen bed and a brand new Whinnie the Pooh bedding set for 2 twins.
The following is an email i received from the guest after he had been there a few days.

Hello

Dont worry Steve about the pool heat, the wheter is too cold so I
think we are not going to use it.

My english is not too good, but we would like to say you that your
home is more beutifull when we arrive than when we see it in the
pictures. It is too confortable, perfectly cleaned and organaized.

Thanks again and best regards
Rafael,

We are a family of four - two children aged 17 and 14. We decided to have a villa instead of just a hotel room - no rush for a sunbed by the poolside. It was lovely being able to eat in or out, with the excellent kitchen facilities and local stores to purchase everything you could possible require, this was not a problem. Everything was clean and tidy and well presented. The use of the phone linked through a computer connection was a bonus and worked well. Also, the wireless connection for the Internet was very useful. To make the most of this property, it is essential to have a car. Disney World, etc. is only a few mins. away by car. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to a friend.

Villarenters reply:

Great Place! Much better than a hotel. Baby friendly/kid friendly. Lots of space. Wish we would have taken more days to spend at the house since we were at the theme parks almost everyday. Really enjoyed it, had everything we needed and more. The best thing was that the whole payment and communication transaction was safe and easy. Owner could easily be contacted via e-mail and answered all our questions prior to our arrival. Not one problem the whole time we were there.

Lovely villa, spacious and well presented. Well equipped, there wasnt anything we needed that wasnt already there. Although we didnt have a child with us, the things provided for them looked good too. Solar pool heat is great if you need it, otherwise the pool is in full sunshine from early morning until the evening. Spa is also nice for relaxing! The only minor problem we had was dealt with by the rental company within 24 hours. Vonage sometimes a little unpredictable but thats not the owners fault I dont think. Access to the pool and gym on the complex are good too. Would definitely return, no hesitation, thanks!!

We had 8 people in the house and we were all comfortable and had enough space. Nice to have all the conveniences of home and feel at home in this house. The games room and the pool provided entertainment when we weren't at Disney. The kids had a blast. It took us about 20 minutes to reach Disney, but the drive wasn't bad and good for unwinding at the end of the day. Overall it was great value for the money and we will always stay in a house instead of hotel now.

Dear Mr. Haydon,

We returned home today from Florida. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. Your home is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you decorated, very lit up and open. You actually have the same furniture as I would like. Those couches are incredibly comfortable. I love the layout of the kitchen, well I loved everything. I had to drag my nefews out of the pool everyday. The weather was great. Hot, clear, & sunny. I was hoping to get a sun-tan, but no such luck. My fiance' is interested in building our own vacation home there.
Disney World was a blast. I love how close it was. The sales office was saying there will soon be a rear entrance to the complex putting you around 5 minutes away from Disney. That will be great. We also went mini golfing. The course we found was 36 holes. Plus 192 had anything imaginable. We did souvenir shopping at the flea markets.
Everyone definetly would like to do this trip again next year. So hopefully we will chat again someday.

Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to thank you and tell you that my family had a wonderful time staying at your home. We found your home to be very comfortable and well equipped with all the things a family would need to complete their vacation. We loved the pool and spa and spent a lot of our time outdoors. I purchased several new pool toys that I left behind for you and any other guest that may stay at your home in the future. The only suggestion I might make is that the carpeting is in desperate need of cleaning with several spots where drinks or something had spilled. It must be very frustrating as the homeowner to see that others do not take care of what you have worked so hard to obtain. I can assure you that my family treated your home as if it was our own and made sure it was in the same condition we found it when we arrived. Again you couldn’t ask for a better location and we would recommend Glenbrook to our friends.

Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Steve,
We rented your residence at Clermont, FL for the first 10 days of March. I
just want you to know that we were so very happy with the rental. We had a
marvelous time and were very comfortable there. Your house is very nicely
kept and we would be very interested in future rentals from you. Thank you
so much for your help with the reservation. We were treated very nice by
the staff at the club house and they met all our needs. Thanks so much.
Hope to be in touch in the future.

Stephen,

Thanks once again for renting your vacation home to my family. Was a little cool the first few days so we put your new game room to use. Once again I would like to rent your home for the same two weeks next year at the same price of $1,364.00 (US Dollars) total, since we have been renting from you for the past 3 years, February 10th to 24th 2007.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,

Steve & Kim,

Thank you very much for the thoughtful gift today. We were not expecting anything at all. You both are very sweet. Craig & I were sitting out by the pool and my sister & brother-in-law answered the door, and became very surprised to find someone bearing gifts.

Everyone is having fun and loving the house as usual. The garage is unbelievable. You really did a great job. The boys haven't even been down to the clubhouse. Craig & I have a question? Is the St. Louis Rams banner for us? It made us feel right at home.

Today we did mini golf, yesterday we spent flea market shopping. Maybe tomorrow we'll try a Disney Park or the Kennedy Space Station. Besides its only day 4 out of 12. We have a lot more to see and do.

Better get out of here before they lock me in. Thank you again. You guys are GREAT!

Hi Steve,
I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time in florida and that your villa was beautiful. I really enjoyed, loved the villa though. I am not sure what time I will get a vacation next year since I just started a new job so it may be 2008 before I could go back but I do know that if your villa isn't rented out I would defenitly rent it again. Thank you again for helping make my kids vacation a wonderful one. Dawn

Hi Steve,
A late Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year! Got back home last night, a very very long trip. Your villa was a fabulous place to stay. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was clean, and comfortable, and the pool and hot tub were terrific. We will never stay in a hotel again, if we can find something like yours in other parts of the country. Thanks so much for all your correspondence with me, and if we every go back to Florida, we will try to stay in your home again.
Thank you

Hi Steve

We recently stayed at your villa, December 29th to January 6th. It was fabulous. My parents were thoroughly impressed with your home as well. The management people were friendly and helpful.

We are thinking about going back to Florida for a week in March (March 9th to 16th inclusive). How much would it cost to rent your villa again for that time period?

Thanks,

Thank you again for sharing your home with us. I will send you some pictures soon.
