Carolyn K with kudos for our "Home away from Home"

Carolyn K Gaston, SC
Review Submitted: October 31, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
My family has rented this property twice already. Once in 2003 and again in 2008. We have been very well pleased with the service from the management staff and everyone else involved with our vacation planning. The home is very well kept, plenty of space for everyone, very convenient to all of the theme parks and easy access to malls for shopping, grocery stores and anything else you would need to locate. The only things we had to bring from home were our clothes. With all the shopping areas around, we just bought our food from the local grocers. It is so nice to be able to be in a setting that keeps you as close to a home setting as possible as opposed to a sterile motel/hotel room with limited space. We have stayed on-site at a couple of the hotel/motel resorts before, and I will NEVER do that again. Our complaints about the resort facilities were that the noise level is always a problem all night long, lack of privacy due to being able to hear everything that is going on around the area another problem, having to share the pool facilities with a couple hundred people and pretty much a captive audience to the terribly high prices for food and drinks at these sites. Susan's home gave us the freedom of having our privacy and being able to eat whatever we wanted (take out or cook). We planned our days carefully to get full days of fun. There was never any question of neighborhood noise there and we met several of the neighbors and everyone was extremely nice. The next trip we plan to Orlando area again will certainly be another stay at Susan's house for my whole family. My family still talks about it and wants to know when we are going back. I have 3 adult children ages 34, 32, and 28 and the 2 older have 3 of the most beautiful grandchildren for me anyone could ever wish for. Susan's home works out perfect for us as it gives us an opportunity to spend quality time together without having to find a "common place" to meet if we all stayed at different places. My three sons and their families, my sister, her hubby, daughter, and grandson as well as myself and hubby had plenty of living space and comfort at Susan's. I just wish I could come to Orlando again this fall/winter, but my hubby's job is short-handed and won't let him take more than 2-3 days at a time, so maybe this spring we will be able to come back. Thank you Susan for keeping "our house" always ready for occupants. Hopefully soon, we will be those occupants. I love this home.

Owner's Response: It was just great to read these lines!!!! It was nice that these recurring guests explained the extreme difference between staying in a motel/hotel or "your own home"! I am so happy that everything was just perfect for them and their large family - and that they enjoyed "their house" and the quiet and friendly neighborhood - again!

Happy Customer

"JLo" Plantation, Florida
Review Submitted: October 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
My family and I stayed at this villa during our vacation in August 2008. We all had nothing but good things to say about this home. We were so comfortable, we were not in each other's faces all of the time because the home was so spacious. We also enjoyed the indoor screen pool very much which was a plus. Susan and the staff were very professional and helpful. They answered all of our questions with no probelms and replied to my inquiry quickly which was impressive.

The property was clean and well maintained. The decors were kind of out dated but that was fine since the home was very comfortable. It was like a home away from home. Overall we will definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative.

Great Vacation

Shikha72 Moscow, Russia
Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our family stayed at the Meadowood Home in August 2009. Location of the house is good as it's close to the airport, Disney and other attractions. The house is excellent. It could easily accommodate 11 people. It equipped with everything you need. It's very clean, neat and well decorated. The own swimming pool was great aw well. Everything was just as promised. Susan and the management company were very easy to deal with. We'd like to stay in "our" house next time and recommend it to our friends as well."

Owner's Response: This family enjoyed their stay in "their" home this summer. They found everything just as I promised. That`s another proof that I tell the truth about all the details mentioned on my website. I am also always happy to hear that I - and my management - are easy to deal with. We really try our best! I would naturally be pleased to have these guests come again - maybe with some (recommended) friends!!! The house is surely big enough for that!

This House Was By Far the Best We Ever Rented

Camplady Fort Worth, Texas
Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We rented this house for a week with our friends for a Scrabble Tournament in Orlando and it was perfect to accommodate all our friends. It was nicely decorated, plenty of room for us all, and of course the pool and grill and patio area was just the icing on the cake. This house, along with the company of our friends rates at the top of our "All Time Favorite" vacations. If you check this our for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

Owner's Response: As you can read, my vacation home is also great for a bunch of friends going to a special occasion. They enjoyed themselves, especially the pool and patio area - and BBQ-ing together! I was very happy to hear that my house rates at the top of my guests "All Time Favorite" vacations - with their friends!
Why don`t you follow their advice and come and see yourself?!

Happy in Orlando

Happy in Orlando Spring, TX USA
Review Submitted: September 11, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We stayed at Susan's Orlando property in March 2009. We had a great time and the property suited our needs entirely. The home is very large and could easily sleep 10 people. The pool was great. The location is excellent as it is reasonably close to the airport and the access to the toll road made getting to DIsney and other attractions very good. There is shopping, golf, and recreation close by and there is internet at McDonalds within 1 mile and at Starbucks. Susan and the rental agent were very easy to work with. Everything was as advertised and promised. This was the first experience I had with Home Away and I was skeptical. After our experience I would definitely recommend the Meadowood Home as a great vacation spot for a large family.

EXCELENTE CASA DE VACACIONES, MUY BIEN SITUADA

Jesus Castro Madrid, Spain
Review Submitted: September 9, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Excelente casa de vacaciones, situada en un lugar extraordinario para visitar Orlando, dotada de todas las comodidades, te encuentras como en tu propia casa.
Nosotros la encontramos muy limpia y muy ordenada, vajilla, ropa de casa y utensilios para once personas.
Tiene piscina particular, aire acondicionado, alarma, etc..Todo lo que se expone en la página web es cierto.
Nosotros viajamos frencuentemente a Orlando, y es el mejor sitio en el que hemos estado. La red de carreteras próximas te hacen llegar en 15 minutos a cualquiera de los Parques de Atracciones o centros comerciales. Hay un gran supermercado de la cadena Publix a cinco minutos andando.
La ubicación de la zona es residencial, con mucha tranquilidad.

Owner's Response: I would like to translate this for you:

An excellent house to spend your vacation, at an extraordinary place to visit Orlando - equipped with all the comfort as you have at home. The house appeared to us as very clean and very neat. There is enough dinnerware, furnishing und utensils for 11 people. It has an own swimming-pool, air condition, security alarmsystem aso.
Everything, that we awaited and as mentioned in the website - is true. We have visited Orlando many times before, but this was the nicest place that we have ever seen. Using the nearby road network you can get to all amusement parks and commercial centers within 15 minutes. There is a big super market "Publix" just about 5 minutes away. The house is in a homelike neighborhood, with alot of piece and quiet.

Ich möchte das kurz für Sie übersetzen:

Ein excellentes Haus um Urlaub zu machen, an einem außergewöhnlichen Platz gelegen um Orlando zu besichtigen - ausgestattet mit allen Annehmlichkeiten, die man auch in seinem eigenen Haus findet.
Es erschien uns sehr sauber und sehr ordentlich. Es ist Geschirr, Wohnungseinrichtung und Utensilien für 11 Personen vorhanden. Es hat einen eigenen Swimmingpool, Klimaanlage, Alarmanlage ect.
Alles, was man anhand der Website erwartet erweist sich als wahr. Wir haben Orlando oft besucht und es war der schönste Ort, an dem wir gewesen sind. Über das nahegelegene Straßennetz gelangt man in 15 Minuten zu Vergnügungsparks - Supermarkt der Supermarktkette "Publix", der sich ca. 5 Minuten vom Haus entfernt befindet. Das Haus befindet sich in einer wohnlichen Zone, mit viel Ruhe.


my comment:

It was great to receive the good news! I am always happy to hear that my guests were pleased with everything! That makes me feel very, very good! ...and I am sure they are happy, too!

Excellent location

bio France Burgundy
Review Submitted: July 18, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had an excellent time in your villa.It is well situated for all the parks and it is even possible to have a drive to Key West for a couple of days as we did; Well worth it!!
The house was clean, the pool was very good and so was the sitting area outside (we took breakfast outside everyday).
Only details in the house need to be sorted:
. the toilet seat in the main bathroom needs to be replaced (cracked polyester, not very hygienic).
. still in the main bathroom upstairs on the ceiling (right hand corner when you come in) there appears to be a leak as there is a stained area).
. maybe less of the plastic flowers and heavy carpets but that's only my own taste...
Sorry to have to mention these but I have to be fair...
I would still recommend the villa!

Owner's Response: I was happy to hear that my guests hat a great time and felt comfortable in my house.
* I had the toilet seat repaired as soon as I heard about it! I felt very bad about that!
* My management will be taking care of the spot on the ceiling.
Although I wasn`t happy about reading this, I am very thankful for such comments.That`s how I can keep my house beeing in great condition - and have future guests enjoy "their" home!

Susan was very easy to deal with as well as the property management. The house and the stay was wonderful for our family. Everything was just as promised and the heated pool was so, so , so great!!! I would also like to thank you for allowing us to bring our pets, they even vacationed out by the pool sunning. Thanks again and we hope your house is available next year when we are in Orlando.

About our experience

Vic the vacationer Lancaster, PA
Review Submitted: June 25, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Dear Susan,
We really appreciated being at your rental home because of its size we were able to have all of family together- Our two children and their 5 children, and two of our unmarried children. The proximity to the airport was also handy- 10 minutes. The home is very nicely decorated. It is well furnished and has just about everything you would have in your own home. This home gets an 8 out of ten for cleanliness and the same for maintenance. Nice place and we would definately come back again without looking elsewhere. Susan is effecient and easy to deal with.
Thanks for allowing us to use your home.
Sam

Owner's Response: Thank you - vic the vacationer!
It was nice to hear that my guest could spend his vacation with his whole family - children and grandchildren! I`m sure he enjoyed having the family together in one house. I was happy that they felt "just like at home" - that`s how it should be! They were very pleasant guests and I hope to hear from them again.

Review Submitted: June 11, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
Your holiday home was the perfect venue to celebrate our Mother's birthday, and (even a wedding aniversary!)
We loved your taste in decoration, and we had everything we needed. It was a home from home and we treated it as such. We do hope to go back. Thank you for sharing your holiday home with us. Love, Elahe
