Nikki; Bravo,or as you Brits might say "Jolly good show".
Those are our feelings about your house. Perfect in every way. Beautifully appointed, well stocked with all the necessary appliances etc, fastidiously clean; and the final thoughtful touch the food items that were there. If we ever journey to Disney World again (and I'm certain we will), we will absolutely want to be your houseguests. Also, if you ever need references from anyone please feel free to use us.
Thanks again; Bill Meyers

Not what we were expecting.

We ha e used Homeaway to rent homes for our family vacations for several years, and have all good experiences until now. Unfortunately, this property disappointed us. The home was in a nice area, but it had too much deferred maintenance and problems with cleanliness.
There was a strong bad odor coming from the drains in the master bath. Shower had black mold/mildew in the grout - we had to clean it ourselves - including buying brushes and cleaning products ourselves. The toilets were very weak flushers and plugged up a couple times. There was a sign near each one saying that the renter would be responsible for any charges to call a plumber. We paid extra to rent a BBQ, but it started on fire below the box and was burning the rubber hoses to the gas before we noticed and turned it off. There wasn't enough silverware for our group. The pool temperature was either too hot, yes hot tub hot, or none at all. The solution was to just turn off the heat and have a cold pool. Property manager was responsive but the owner had an apathetic attitude like he'd heard the same complaints before and had a rote answer prepared. We would not return nor recommend this place. Live and learn.

Owner's Response: well this is most upsetting, nor me or house manger knew anything of this until the last night of your 7 night stay, if you had let us know before all of this could have been fixed with in an hour, all i heard from you about was the pool which i believe was fixed on the second day,we rent to UK guests and they are use to flushing almost anything down the toilet so we have polite notices to stop the guests blocking toilets, i contacted the BBQ hire company on your behalf which again was on the last night of your 7 night stay and they said if you had let them know earlier something would have been done,
i have had no complaints before, i answered your messages with in an hour and was not pathetic in fact your comments come as quiet a shock, but you live and learn
HOUSE MANAGERS RESPONSE
Wow, why would they not call us if they weren't happy? All of those concerns we would have investigated and rectified if they were an issue. I checked the property myself before they arrived as we always do but especially as it had been a back to back
The grout in the downstairs master was a bit discoloured but certainly not mold and easily treated at the next clean with some bleach. We were there with the new guests who arrived on Sat and there is no odour in any bathroom and we haven't had a complaint previously to this.
Your toilets are the same as every other villa in Florida as far as the flush goes. Again, with the grill, one phone call and it would have been changed the same day.
They did have issues with the pool heat being too warm but it certainly wasn't turned off, just down, This didn't mean a cold pool though and we didn't leave them to sort it out themselves as they suggested. The spa wasn't working when we did the pre arrival check on Sat for the current guests and the electronic automation needed resetting so now we are wondering if they had messed about with that.
Are you able to respond to this on Homeaway Bill? I can't understand why he never mentioned any of this when he called us about the pool. We want the home as perfect as we can but if he had these issues when he arrived, one call to us would have rectified anything that he didn't think was right, instead of complaining afterwards.
Ok to sum up if you are able to post your reply: he didn't mention cleanliness issues whilst he was in the home, nor the odour, nor the grill (which you are not responsible for anyway as it's hired in and is our responsibility) OUT OF CHARACTERS

Calabay House
Submitted: February 19, 2012
Stayed: February 2012
We just returned home from our stay at your house in Calabay Villa...we must say it was a perfect 10. Everything was exactly as stated in your description, the photos show the home's features accurately. We were so impressed by the cleanliness and functionality of the whole house. The pool was very private, we spent many enjoyable hours in the hot tub and on the patio. The games room was enjoyed by the children and the adults alike in our party. We spent a few days at Legoland, and the home was central to this park and Disney too. We plan to return and rent this home again! It is obvious the owners have gone to much effort to make the whole process from rental to arrival to departure easy and problem free. Thank you for a lovely stay. Tim, Sue and family
Owner's Response: Thank you very much for taking the time to write, we try our up most to make sure our guests have an enjoyable stay, i have my house manager to thank for looking after the cleanliness of our home

My family, wife, 2 kids and myself had a wonderful time in Nikki & Bills villa. It had everything we wanted and more, pool was beautiful at night with the changing lights and there was, if anything too much room! The villa was perfectly located for all the attractions and shopping. Walmart and Publix supermarkets were 5 mins away, gated community was very clean and tidy.

Wonderful home away from home
Submitted: June 2, 2011
Stayed: May 2011
My family and I recently stayed in this wonderful home while on our vacation to Disney and Universal Studios. We had 5 adults and 2 children and a ton of room to spare. The screened in pool was a blessing morning, noon, and night. Eating breakfast or dinner by the pool was a great way to relax before or after a day at the parks. I would say all the comforts of home, but it was so much more then that. The descriptions are right on and there is plenty of stores, restaurants, and others amenities right near by. Travel to and from the parks is easy with only 2 main roads to use. The property management company was amazing from helping with tickets to testing the pool regularly. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a more relaxed way to enjoy the parks (if that is possible). Thank you for a great week.

Fabulous Home
Submitted: April 7, 2010
Stayed: March 2010
Bill & Nikki,
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was so spacious yet comfortable. The pool and spa were amazing, and the kids were in and out all day!!! The house was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was completely stocked with every amenity that we have at home, and made everything so easy when we stayed in to eat. The property was very large and plenty of room to play outside, when not in the pool. The games room was great as well. It was big enough for the whole family to enjoy time together in the same room, and everyone had something to play! The location of the home was just perfect also. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist attractions, yet close enough if needed. Favourite restaurant was definitely Manny's Chophouse. Great steak and the 2 for 1 Happy hour made the wait for a table enjoyable!! We will definitely be back again to visit , and we have already been recommending your home to all our friends and family who are thinking of travelling. Thanks again!!

Spring Break Vacation
Submitted: April 5, 2010
Stayed: March 2010
My family and I used this wonderful home during our kids Spring Break vacation March 28th - April 2nd and we loved it. This was our 4th trip to Orlando but never in the Spring and this was by far our favorite home. The pool heat was a great addition since our first two days were on the cool side. But even when it got warm we still enjoyed the heated pool swimming on some nights until night fall. The house had plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and have some alone time if they wanted it. The PC was also a great addition as our kids and I use the internet for various reasons and having it there came in handy to get directions to some of the great places we went on this vacation. All the little additions make you feel so at home that you won't want to go back to your own home. Our kids want to use this home again if/when we go back to Orlando again.
As someone who has rented other properties in the past it was refreshing to get to a property and have it look and have all the amenities descriped on the profile. The management personnel was very responsive when we had a problem with the alarm system and the house was clean and ready for our arrival. In fact I have past this property on to several people who are looking for vacation rentals in Orlando.
If you should use this property take a night and eat at Manny's Chop House. It's about 5 minutes from the house but it has great steaks and the best homemade sweet yeast rolls. But make a reservation because they are always crowded. I hope others enjoy this property as much as we did.

Dear Nikki,The house was absolutely beautiful inside and out! The alarm and gated community gave us a real sense of security. The grocery was located conveniently just down the road. The drive to Disney, Universal, and Discovery Cove was very easy, and we were far enough away that traffic was never a problem for us. When we arrived late that first night the exterior of the house was all lit up, and it looked very warm and inviting. The welcome basket of basic food supplies was perfect, and the starter toiletries were extremely helpful. The kitchen had every accessory anyone could ever possibly need. The kids loved the game room, and the PS2. There was an abundance of towels, pillows, and hot water. The house felt like a home to us, not just a rental property, and the kids miss it very much. We had a wonderful vacation!Thank you so much! The Parham/Bobbitt family of Columbus, Ohio
