Our 'Home' is maintained to the highest standard and after 14 years of renting we believe that if "we give you what you want, we will get what we want".
"Come to our villa as a guest, leave our villa as a friend"
Our villa offers all you would wish for to ensure your stay is memorable and we are in touch with you, through our English owned Management Company, on a daily basis should you need us, no matter what the enquiry.
Repeat bookings are a true measure of the quality and standards we have set in this a luxurious family home. Our builders, prior to building our home, were developing $500,000 properties and were unable to cut their standards to build ours.
The result? We have a villa that many have said is "too nice to rent out" but we fill it for 38 - 44 weeks every year making our 'Business' a successful one for both you and us.
You get what you want, a satisfying stay, and we get what we want, your business, time and time again.
A simple bargining win win situation that has ensured we offer you a perfect holiday at an affordable price. Do not be put off by the fact that we are probably asking less per month than most other villa's on offer of the same or similar standard.
We are not greedy, we want to 'pay our way' not make a massive profit, all profits so far have been reinvested to maintain the high standard we set, we visit every year to check for ourselves that the standards are maintained and upgrade everything required.
You will not be disappointed with our home, try it for yourself, whether for the first time in Florida or as a seasoned visitor our aim is to "give you what you want"
Happy Holidays

07/27/06 Positive Hello Phil and Debra,
We had a wonderful stay at your house. Everything was nice and there was plenty of room for us and our extended family. The home had everything to make our stay feel like back home as far as kitchen and dining ware, even a nice barbeque in the back and a small one to take to the beach. I would recommend your home to anyone and everyone and hope to stay there again on our next visit. You were very helpful in accomodating us and I feel like you are family across the pond as you may say.
Thanks again for such great hospitality.

12/16/05 Positive Fantastic accommodation and what a brilliant and relaxing place to come back to each evening, couldn't fault it. To add a personal touch Phil even arranged to send the welcome pack and a covering letter inviting our eleven year old to Disney and to stay at the Villa.
One of the best holidays this family's had.
looking forward to a return visit.
thanks

Hi Katrina,
Homeowner Response:
It was fun sending the travel pack and arrangements to your daughter as I know she had no idea she was going to Florida. I suppose it adds that extra special surprise to a childs trip when they open the envelope. This was the first time I have done this and it obviously works so every child staying in our home from now on will be treated the same. So pleased you enjoyed the comfort of our home and I look forward to you staying with us again.
Kind regards
Phil

06/04/04 Positive We did a lot of Internet searching before choosing this villa and we were not disappointed. The villa is beautiful, spacious and has everything one might need (even down to a cooler bag for those essential ice cream purchases!!). The swimming pool is superb, the PC and Internet facility very handy, and free calls an added bonus. The villa is in an excellent location - quiet but not far from the main attractions. And last but not least, Phil and Debbie were very kind and helpful and left lots of useful tips. Would love to go back one day!

We are constantly looking to improve our home to ensure it is always "perfect for every guest" and your comments were very welcome.

04/14/04 Positive What can I say? I have travelled all over the world and stayed at many different hotels on business. This was my first holiday with the whole family and I wanted somewhere that wasn't going to get in the way. Wanted a home away from home. We are in the computer industry and needed online access. Phil kindly sped up the DSL installation for us and when we got there we simply plugged it all in for him and us! It was a joy to speak to someone that was real and operated in the world of customer service. At the end of the day, the holiday was fantastic, the villa being the stable foundation to which to base everything from. If after a hard days trek around Disney and what have you, you need a place to come back and relax. Phil has a wonderful villa that does that and more. Highly recommeded and will not be looking around the next time, we are heading back there.

Homeowner Response:
I thought it would be good to have a PC in the villa with FREE internet access as not everyone wants swimming pools and televisions as a means of entertainment back at the villa. When I learnt that Alan and Ceri and friends were "computer geeks", his words not mine, I asked if he wouldn't mind installing a PC for me whilst he was staying in our home, Alan obliged and we are now up and running. Alan thank you and your family and all of you will always be welcome back
Kind regards,

10/15/03 Positive Hi Phil
We really had a great time in your villa. It is truly five star. You are most welcome to use us as a reference.
One can never get a true impression of a villa from the photo's on the internet and your villa is no exception. It was much larger than we expected. This is the fourth villa that we have hired in Orlandoand it is by far the best. Thanks from all of us for a wonderful stay.

Homeowner Response:
Kevin it sounds to me like you enjoyed your stay in our holiday home!!
Being a seasoned traveller of Orlando it is encouraging to hear that you have chosen ours as the best you have stayed in as there are some beautiful homes out there.
I trust you will return and I look forward to accommodating you once again.
Kind regards
Phil

I had a great time in your villa - nothing broken, split or lost. The only problem I had was that I couldn't get the bath jet thing to work but that's not even a small deal.
Having the pool heat was perfect and I covered it every night for an early morning dip. I met the pool maintainence man and the English chap who cleans the pool. Both were very friendly, informative and helpful and provided a useful diversion.
I have stayed in a number of villas over the years and prefered yours to the vast majority of others. Equipment, facilities etc were great. So thanks, hopefully I'll get a chance to go again.

02/04/03 Positive To say the least we were a little uncertain about booking a villa over the Internet. The photos look great - but what about the reality? We needn't have worried - the Howards have a wonderful villa which became our home for two super weeks. Phil and Debbie are VERY friendly and keen to help with your queries. The website really doesn't do the villa justice. We were disappointed when we found that it is booked this year for our holiday dates - we are struggling to find one as good...or as reasonable. Don't hesitate - BOOK IT!
Paul and Marion Barker, Newcastle upon Tyne, England
Homeowner Response:
Repeat business is always a good sign of a satisfied customer. I only wish I could accommodate Paul and his family for the dates they require if only to satisfy the next door American neighbours who said they had a great time with them and asked about their wellfare. I know Paul will return to our home again because we told him to "make it his"
Thanks for your time to add your comment Paul best wishes
