Tony, Thanks so much for last years vacation and the prior years before! You have been the best! My family and I come every year, from Columbus Ohio, around the same time to stay in your beatiful home because of the privacy, great location and comfort that your home offers...and of course the fabulous pool area!! We always have the easiest transactions with you in renting your home! You have accomadated with every concern and even for a one night stay when we came down to go on a cruise! We love your home and will continue coming back every year as long as you will have us!!! My kids love it and call it their "pool house"!! lol We are headed down again here in 2 weeks!!! Look forward to it and will again thank you for our wonderful memories and great vacations!!! Thanks Tony and hope all is well!!

Dear Tony,
Thank you again for everything! We had a wonderful trip, and it was in large part due to having a comfortable home to return to each evening.



Wishing you all the best,

Rebecca

Tony,

Just wanted to say THANKS!!! The villa was great. We really enjoyed spending time there. Thank you so much. Hope we can do business again sometime soon. By the way, is the condo already rented for Thanksgiving week 2009? If not, what would that weekly rate be? We could not be there until late Tuesday night.

Once again, thank you.

With kindest regards, Julia Mitchell

Hi There Tony!!

I hope that all is well with you. I just wanted to send you a little note to let you know how much Derrick and I enjoyed your home. We felt so at home and relaxed the entire time. We were ready to come home after 10 days because we missed our cats but we wish we could have taken the house with us!!

Your home made our whole trip complete and we are very appreciative. Thank you and we look forward to staying in your beautiful home again next year
Thanks again,

Kim and Derrick

Hi Tony,
We arrived very late Thursday night after a fun experience with a flat tire on I-95! We were exhausted after the 13 hour trip, and were so happy to find that your home was so beautiful. Yesterday we delayed going to the parks so we could replace all four tires and get the car aligned. The pool and the game room were lifesavers. The children wore a path from the pool, around the front of the house, and to the game room. They played all day and slept very well! This morning I woke up early and found my oldest and my youngest in the garage playing Xbox...It was so quiet! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home:)

This is a nice house, please don’t be mistaken by the negatives I am about to report, but there are some things about the house that are not mentioned and I think should be carefully considered before renting this property.
First of all, this is NOT in a quiet setting, private yes, but it backs onto the US27 and although there are very tall trees behind, they are very tall and don’t block out much noise. You can see the traffic on the road day and night from the pool area and even if you aren’t that tall you can most definitely hear it from both inside and outside the property.
There are two king bed rooms, with en-suite bathroom, what you’re not made aware of is that they are one in the same, ie, the two largest bedrooms in the house with king beds actually connect to the same bathroom!
A couple of the twin rooms are also so small that in order to get two single beds in each they are pushed up against the wardrobe doors. This fact together with the above shared bathroom issue would in our opinion not lend itself to multiple families renting this property.
Why do we report such negatives you are now asking, well to be honest, other than the features above there is little wrong with the property. Although we did have to run the cutlery, plates and glasses through the dishwasher on arrival. However, the owner and the Management company leave a lot to be desired.
Having arrived in Florida after almost 20 hours travelling we were confronted with a green pool. As green as the grass. Not what you want, when all you want to do is jump in the pool on arrival and you can’t. Originally when we reported it we were met firstly with disbelief and then with excuses about how quickly pools can turn. Not that quickly I can assure you. When the pool company came the following day, more excuses from blaming the prior occupants wee-ing in the pool, to too much sun-cream etc.. Eventually 4 days later when the pool had been treated with more than 8 gallons of chlorine, and heaps of other chemicals then finally drained and re-filled, we were advised that this was possibly a vendetta by the prior management company. Once the pool was rectified and the filthy BBQ cleaned, we did NOT hear from the management co. or owner again! Not a thing, not even a friendly “how are you getting on now?”
Even our security deposit was returned late, not within the 14 days as per our contract with a lame excuse. Considering the property was let just after we left this should not have happened.

Everything about our transaction was perfect. Communication with the owner was great. The house was immaculate and had everything. After a long day at the parks it was great to come back to a house and enjoy the pool and relax. There was plenty of room for both families. I highly recommend staying here, I know I would again. Thanks Tony!!
