Great vacation home!!

Gratz Palatine, USA
Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
I just want to say how much we loved staying in your home for our summer vacation. The house was so beautiful! It was close enough to the beaches that we went to watch the sunsets every night. The house is very private, but close enough to many stores for your shopping needs. We were so surprised at how large the home was as well as the pool. The clubhouse pool was also a nice extra added benefit. Thank you for your kindness and easy renting process. We had a wonderful time!
Owner's Response: A review like this confirms our opinion that maintaining our home to a high standard is good for the client and good for us, the owners. We want people to come back again and again to stay in our home. It may not be the cheapest on the market but it represents excellent value.We use the villa ourselves throughout the year, thus being able to stay on top of all those small maintenance jobs. Thank you Grazia and family for your review!

Holiday Villa with the 'wow factor'

Helen from Hinckley Midlands, England
Review Submitted: October 26, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
The villa was just amazing and smart and lived up to the information on the web.

It was so spacious that our family party of 7 people felt very comfortable and relaxed, we all wished that we could stop for another week. The younger members of the family were all impressed with the huge tv in the lounge and the big pool, the bedrooms were all very comfortable and the master bedroom was superb also there were really good facilities for cooking and laundry.

The villa is situated on a very exclusive estate and not too far from major stores (including Walmart) and numerous restaurants, also the outlet shops in Ellenton is only 15 minutes away. It was also easy to reach many of the attractions around Bradenton and Sarascota, and was just an hours drive to Busch Gardens in Tampa.

We really enjoyed the pier in Bradenton which was also good for
fishing, and the restaurant there served some really good fish dishes at a reasonable price. Anna Marie island has two fishing piers and we spent quite a lot of time, it is really worth a visit.

And as a bonus the communal pool is just 5 minutes walk away from the villa and was large enough to have a really good swim.

We will certainly return in the not too distant future.

Review Submitted: June 9, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed at the villa for a week with another couple (4 adults and 6 kids)after 2 weeks in orlando it was a amazing villa with all ammeneties you could want.There was lots of space even with 6 kids we never felt on top of each other.The view over the lake was lovely to watch when we was chilling round the pool.Very quite location.It was nice to have the communal pool and park too just a five min walk.My only critism is that you could not double lock the door from the inside.Lovely villa would deffenatly recommend to friends and family,and would go back ourselves.Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home
Owner's Response: What a nice compliment. We try hard to give our guests a good experience. Thank you.

Florida Holiday

Florida Steve Cannock, Staffordshire, UK
Review Submitted: September 18, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Beautiful ground level holiday home located in Bradenton on the Gulf Coast of Mexico 5 mins from I-75. The property was private, clean, well maintained and exactly as described on the website. Lots of shops nearby with the DeDoto Square Mall only 10 mins away on US 41. Plenty of restaurants nearby offering a wide variety of cuisine. I would recommend the Outback Steakhouse and Cody's for excellent food and service. For a taste of home style cooking I can recommend Crager's located 10 mins south on US 41. Busch Gardens in Tampa is only 1 hour away, and the Gulf beaches are only 20 mins away. I would recommend Holmes Beach and Siesta Key because of the white sand and clear waters. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bussle of Orlando and be near to the white sandy beaches of the Gulf. You would need a car to make getting around a lot easier as there is very little within walking distance. Booking the property for our holiday with David was very quick and easy, and good clear directions to the home were provided. A fantastic holiday.

Kind regards,

Stephen.

Dear David

We so enjoyed our two week stay in your lovely home. It was everything we could have hoped for. Your home is truly beautiful and the view across the lake is spectacular. Thanks once again.

I would like to thank you for allowing us to rent your villa, you certainly have a lovely home out there and the abundance of wildlife on the lake, the children were all amazed at the turtles that used to come out in the morning and sun themselves on the side.
The beaches that were 20 mins down the road, were like picture postcards, the white sands and the clear blue seas.

Kind Regards

Hi David, Just a quick note to say THANKYOU, your home is truly beautiful and a perfect setting it was just a shame that the weather played up slightly while we were there but I wanted to see a tornado anyway!!!! but fortunately it didn't happen. I hope you don\'t mind but I bought a mat to go just by the patio doors from the dining room to protect the carpet and we also left some fishing reels and children's spades and a new big yellow pool doodle thingy. Once again thank you for the privilege of staying in your beautiful home.
