GUEST COMMENTS

“Good afternoon Stuart and Lesley, Thank you for your email below, apologies its taken until now for me to reply. I have yet to adjust fully to UK time, unlike Aimee who had 12-14 hours sleep Friday evening after we landed is back to her old routine. We would all like to personally thank you for a wonderful stay at your Citrus Ridge villa, as with the Serengeti villa it was equally as welcoming and homely. My thanks also go out to Kevin at Florida Property Services for all their help, first with setting the Alarm off and helping us out with the Local Police not appearing on the door step, then with all the help of our  "nature Visits" we had over the stay.The bedroom was jaw dropping nice comfortable, spacious 4 poster bed slept the 3 of us when Aimee woke early. As before the whole house was perfect, entertainment, pool, kitchen, locality, all perfect. Aimee enjoyed the space running around in her nappy playing hide and seek with us both and the large Shamu she made friends with. Thank you once again for a memorable holiday from Michelle, Aimee-Leigh and myself, Aimees first proper holiday will be forever remembered and when she is old enough to ride the grown up rides with Daddy we will be in contact. Yours sincerely”  Neil, Michelle and Aimee-Leigh Hewett, Berkshire UK

“Hi Stuart  Thanks so much for your welcome home e-mail. We had a fabulous time in your home..thank you!!! Everything was clean and spotless upon our arrival. (other than a few squished gecko's under the outdoor chair cushions LOL)….we didn't need anything that you hadn't provided already. We did call the superintendent once as a man came to the door and wanted to come into the house to spray…we weren't expecting him so I was not comfortable letting him in but he did have ID and the super said he was expected so all was good! Thanks again for your house. Regards,” Lynn Snyder, Massachusetts US

“Hi Stuart and Lesley; Thank you for your email. My family very much enjoyed your "Citrus Ridge" Florida home; it is very neat, wonderfully decorated, internet access,  WII  and in an ideal location (away from  192 and 4).  We felt comfortable and slept well the entire week. I have cc'd my wife Lynne so she may provide her comments. I am sure you we will be contacting you again in the future to check upon it's availability” Jeff Snyder, Massachusetts US

“Hello Stuart and Lesley, Sorry it took so long to reply.  Needless to say we had a fantastic vacation!  Citrus Ridge Villa suited our needs perfectly.  It was spacious, easy to get to and from (being only 10 minutes from Disney), and nestled in a nice quiet neighborhood.  We certainly went at the right time of year being that the weather was nice and the theme parks were not crowded at all.  Thanks so much for allowing us to use your vacation home. Sincerely, “ The Horton Family, Wisconsin US

“Hi Stuart and Lesley, We had an excellent holiday and really enjoyed staying in your villa. The facilities were excellent. I would also like to comment that I found Kevin from the management company excellent when I contacted him with a few queries (i.e. how to set the alarm). We definitely plan to return to Florida again in a couple of years and certainly like to stay at your villa again (if you will have us!)” The Mathieson family, Southampton UK

“Hi Stuart & Lesley, Thank you for our welcome home email & the return of our deposit. We both enjoyed our time @ Citrus Ridge, it is a lovely home, and we couldn’t think of anything that was missing, you have thought of everything! Once again many thanks” Pat & Anthony, Halifax UK

“Hi Stuart and Lesley, We had a fantastic time and can't think of anything that could be added to the villa, we really did have everything we needed and hope it won't be too long before we are staying again!” The Burrs, Essex UK

“Our stay is nearing the end and it has been wonderful.  The house and pool are everything the online site and your emails said it would be -- we enjoy the quiet calm of the patio every morning and especially at night when we return from the hectic theme parks.  The local information you gave us on restaurants has been great and we have tried several of them.  We will be sad to go home and back to the reality.  Thank you again.  Our stay has been lovely. “ The Redford family, Alberta Canada

“Hi there, Many thanks for the e-mail and the holiday was great! We are just a bit shell-shocked as it's been quite hard work! We did manage to takes days off from the parks though! We unfortunately had both a 6 hour delay on the way which you know about, but also 6 hours on the way back! Never flying with Globespan again! We loved having the Wii and the games room was fab.  It was just fab, really cool and really comfortable - thanks very much for helping us have such a great and memorable holiday!”  The Semple family, Linlithgow Scotland

“Hello Stuart and Lesley, Well, we are finally home from our mini tour of the States and have had time to recover from the jet lag and adjust to UK time. We had a wonderful time in Florida. Very hot but not very humid and storms minimal. The villa and pool were lovely. Very light, airy and quiet, so it felt like home from home. Many thanks for letting us use the villa and we would have no problems recommending it to friends who are thinking of going to the States in the future.” The Tubbs family, Devon UK

“Many thanks for the return of the deposit.  I'd also like to thank you for the use of your beautiful home. The villa had everything we could have hoped for & was a great base for our vacation. We'd certainly recommend your property to anyone who asks & would be more than happy to book through yourselves should we go across to Florida again.  Kind Regards”  The Nixon party, Lincolnshire UK

“Thanks for your email, we had a wonderful holiday and all thoroughly enjoyed our week at Citrus Ridge. It was the first time we have stayed in a villa and the attention to detail and level of home comforts was much appreciated. Our 5 year old was particularly thrilled with the games room and Wii, not to mention the luxury of our own pool. We will certainly be in touch in the future when we return to Florida, at least the weather today is making me feel a bit more like I'm still on hols!!”  The Bradshaw family, Surrey UK

“This has been our first independent villa rental and we are delighted and impressed with the experience and your fabulous holiday home.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Citrus Ridge and wouldn't hesitate in booking it again in the future. Best Regards” The Smiths, Hampshire UK

“Hi, Just to let you know we received the deposit no problem. Feedback wise we thought the flat was superb and we had a wonderful time. It's a terrific property and is very private. Everything was top notch and we'd recommend it to anyone.”  Shona and Andrew, Glasgow Scotland

“Hi Stuart and Lesley, The stay was fantastic, and the home was perfect!!!  Thanks so much for everything.  We all had a great time.  Best Wishes” The Harris family, Massachusetts US

“Stuart and Lesley, Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We had a wonderful time and all of us said we would recommend your home to friends and family and hope to one day rent again. Sorry we missed you when you called, we were very busy at the disney parks and spent a day at Clearwater beach. We had no complaints about the home, we really enjoyed the pool and spa area each evening when we arrived home from walking all day, and I enjoyed having the computer, and still having access to email and other things while we were away. Thank you again.”  The Coffey’s, Minnesota US

“Hi Stuart and Lesley, Thank you for this email.  We had a wonderful time in Orlando.  The weather was 80's-90's everyday - no rain so we got lots of use out of the pool and spa!  Our kids also had a wonderful time and they were on "Cloud 9" all week. Thank you”  Gary and Paula, Ontario Canada

“Hiya, Thanks for the email. The first couple of days were a bit on the chilly side and we actually needed to use the heating! But it soon got back to normal and the last few days were great. We loved the view from Citrus ridge but I think Serengeti benefits from the fence acting as a wind break, not sure which one we prefer as they are both great! We had a quick go on the Wii and had a laugh, we don't have one ourselves so it was funny. The pool was a lot warmer than I remember Serengeti but that's probably just due to the weather being better this time. The management guy - Kevin was a really nice chap, spoke to him a couple of times, was surprised to hear an English voice, we seem to be taking over Orlando! Can't wait to get back to Florida again now, just a shame everything is so much more expensive out there now. Regards,” The Austins, Manchester UK

“Hi Lesley & Stuart, Thanks for your e-mail, sorry we weren't around when you rang - too busy out at the parks!!! The holiday was fabulous, the weather was good for us - just one day out of 13 when we had to wear jeans, otherwise it was shorts all the way! The villa was wonderful, we really felt like guests in someone's house with all the conveniences, the pool table and air hockey machine, computer, PS2 - it makes you wonder how we found time to go out at all sometimes! Kevin was extremely helpful and easy to get on with (we had a couple of guys coming round asking questions regarding the sprinkler system which he dealt with immediately) and it was good to have someone reliable available for us.  We feel a bit miserable at the thought of school and work tomorrow, but all good things have to come to an end. We would not hesitate to recommend Citrus Ridge to anyone, it was really lovely. Thanks again for your help - directions from the airport were especially good. As a matter of interest, are either of the villas available at all next Easter? All the best”  The Whitaker family, Nottingham UK

“Hi Lesley & Stuart! Thanks so much for your prompt response.....yes, we spoke to Kevin today and he explained how the heater works on the pool and spa. He has been very gracious each time he has come around, we are very appreciative! I also wanted to tell you what a great time we are having....all the amenities you provide are making our visit that much more enjoyable. The cleanliness as also very important to us......you have a beautiful home......Thanks again! “ The Hales, Pennsylvania US

“Dear Stuart and Lesley.  We had a great time in Florida. And your house was perfect. Everything was better than we expected.  The boys (20 29 59) loved the game room and the Wii computer especially. We used the hot pool nightly, after shopping and park days. We were 3 couple and one child but Citrus Ridge is very spacious .Thank you very much for renting us your house. I hope we can be there very soon. Again thank you very much for your kindly attitude, It was not easy to decide rent a house from a stranger, but everything was easy and simple.  Best Wishes”  Fjola and family, Iceland

“Hello Stuart and Lesley, Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response.  It is a wonderful time of year to travel but also terribly busy when you return. We had a wonderful stay in your house in fact we hated to leave, but alas the cold, real world awaits. All in all we found your home to be very comfortable. Thanks  for the ease of transactions and communication. Thanks also to Kevin for his quick attention to problems. We would definitely consider staying there again if we return to the area. Merry Christmas,” The Weibley family, Pennsylvania US

“Hi Stuart and Lesley, Thank you for our welcome home. We are sorry about the late response to your email as we have only just caught up with our jet lag! Our holiday was absolutely brilliant, we loved everything about the villa, it was beautiful and exactly as you had described. We especially liked the Nintendo Wii, which we had many nights playing until the early hours of the morning! The pool was also really lovely, we were unfortunate to experience the 'lovebugs' for about a week of the holiday but we did have someone come to clean the pool area which made a big difference. We did have a problem with the washing machine early on in the holiday but when we reported the problem the management company responded immediately and it was fixed the same day. We honestly cannot think of any improvements to the villa or our stay. We felt very welcome in your villa and the information pack that you provided us with was also very helpful. Thank you again for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We are very grateful.” The Hill family, Mansfield, UK 

“Just got back today, went to Las Vegas after Florida. Just want to thank you for allowing us to rent the villa, it was superb. We cannot think of any improvements for you, as everything was wonderful. We were blown away with the standard of the property. Also can you thank your MC, they rang us once we settled in to check that all was ok, which it was. Your tips on eating places was spot on especially Houlihanns and the red lobster. Once again accept our thanks, and we will contact you in the near future regarding next year.” The Watson family, Gwynedd Wales

“Hi Folks. Thanks for that. Can I just say that this was the sixth time we have been in Florida and your Villa was undoubtedly the best accommodation that we have had in Orlando. The fixtures and fittings were of a really high quality and it was obvious you have put a lot of thought into them. The real highlight was the noise that emanated from the back in the evening. Fantastic. Thanks once again.” The Young’s, E. Lothian Scotland

"Hi Stuart and Lesley. Our vacation was awesome, just staying at your house made it better. Everything was perfect, we enjoyed the stay we are now considering moving down to the area. The heat did not bother me, it was hotter when I got back home than it was down in FL. The next vacation we plan for the area, Citrus Ridge will be my first choice. Thanks again" J. Reichard, Maryland, US

"Dear Stuart and Lesley, Now that we have returned from Florida and recovered from our jet lag (or is that we are just getting old!!) we would like to let you know that we had a fantastic time during the two weeks we stayed in Orlando(16th May - 31st May). This was in part due to the lovely villa that we had at our disposal, thankyou. We found it spacious and ideal for our circumstances we made use of the games in the garage and your TV and DVD. The pool was used regularly and was great to cool down or relax our muscles having walked around the parks for 10+hrs a day. We found its location was ideal for travelling to and from the parks as it was not too far and easy to get to. We have recommended your villa already to friends. The reason for the late contact is that we stayed a third week and so we have not been back long. We have received the bond cheque for £150, thank you. regards " The Day family, W. Yorkshire, UK

"Hello there Stuart & Lesley, We want to thank you for letting us rent your villa "Citrus Ridge " at Four Corners Davenport! It was a real great pleasure to enjoy all the benefits off a fully equipped villa I think we've used it all ! The kitchen, TV, computer ( my kids where able to contact their friends ) And also the barbecue we've used several times. The swimming pool was the place where we've staid the most, it's really perfect !! We took your advice not to plan too much, so after a day on the move we took a day off to enjoy the villa! The kids didn't even want to go out for dinner, they preferred staying at the pool and have a delicious steak, chicken, burgers, fish, sweet corn and everything else you can imagine! We did all of our shopping at walmart, what an incredible store! We've seen nothing like this before. We went to both universal parks in a total of three days ( 7 days ticket ) We've never had such FUN in years !! We also visit the everglades and took a dive in the Atlantic Ocean at Daytona Beach. The premium outlet stores where also very interesting , we've bought a lot of clothes and shoes !! We had a great flght on both trips , thank you for asking. We did it like this: Amsterdam>Heathrow( BMI )>Washington( United airlines )>Orlando( TED ) Orlando( TED )>Chicago( United airlines )>Amsterdam. I,ll leave it at this point but will mail you again this week to tell you more about our vacation! We'll come again !! That's for sure !! Kindly regards." The Colijn Family, Delft, Holland

"Dear Stuart & Lesley. We love the villa & are having a great time. Is the villa free to book for the w/c sat 28 March 2009 ? If so can you put us down for this please. Thanks" The Welch family, Stafford, UK

"HI!!!!! We had a fantastic time. Sorry I didn't get back with you sooner....... Anyway, we had a great time while we were down there and the house was great. We only cooked breakfast items (cause we were gone for so long every day), but we enjoyed having the full kitchen, washer/dryer, pool and everyone having their own rooms with tv's. We came home completely exhausted - we like making the Disney trip but it's one of those tiring trips. The kids had a blast and keep talking about it. We are going to keep your contact info and if we come down again we're going to rent from you again - we'll recommend you to anyone we know. Better run - thanks again, it was great!!" The Coffey family, Alabama, US

"Hi There! We made it, thanks for the email. It was a challenging day at the airport- Saturday, Noon, in Orlando? What was I thinking?!?!?!!? Now with the heightened security, they had to do a search on my 3 yr old! Crazy. Anyway, thanks for your help with everything, and your MCs are really great...patient, too. We had, yet again, a terrific time. I am so glad we stayed there as opposed to the chaos that goes along with hotel stays. It was so nice to come home and de-Disney each day. The weather was wonderful (thank you for that) and who knew how delightful a hot tub would be in January! All our Best" The Sillings, Connecticut, US

"Hi Stuart & Lesley, We arrived back in Minnesota yesterday to be greeted with a huge snowfall, I think near 8 or 10 inches! It was quite the change. We had our fill of Disney but not the weather or the house, it was a great time. The Citrus Ridge home was incredible! The private pool and jacuzzi were fantastic and the house was perfect. We really appreciate you adding air hockey to the game room, it was my kids favorite. We have payed much much more to stay on-site at Disney in the past, but having 3 bedrooms, our own game room, pool, jacuzzi, great TV system and more, we'll be coming back to Citrus Ridge" The Rice family, Minnesota US

"Hi Stuart & Lesley, Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic holiday we have had in your beautiful villa. We couldn’t have wished for anything more. You have catered for everything in the villa, you have made it a really nice home and a lovely place to take a holiday. We didn’t arrive there until the early hours of the morning and when we got up the following morning and opened the blinds we couldn’t believe the view, it was beautiful. I will be talking to you tomorrow about rebooking." The Dyer Family, Mansfield UK

"Hi there, Thanks very much we had a lovely time, and all went (fairly) smoothly on the big day. Your Villa was lovely and we cannot think of anything that we particularly missed or were looking for that wasn't available. I have attached a photo of us getting married at the little wedding chapel in Kissimmee. Kind regards" The Campbells, Gosport UK

"Thanks, the journey was good, only took 7 hours 15 mins, shame we had a 4 hour train ride afterwards! We loved our vacation in Citrus Ridge, clean, spacious, nice quiet location, awesome TV(!), free internet and a great pool too (shame the pool floor was a little sharp if you knocked into it but I suppose that's the downfall of having 3 6-footers in there :P). Can't think of anything we would have added to the villa, it was great as it was. Thanks for having us and putting up with all our queries and answering them with such enthusiasm and speed! Regards" Glen, Mark and Jack, Cleveland UK

"Hi Stuart & Lesley, We would like to thank you for the use of what we can only describe as an amazing villa. The pool was fantastic! We had hours of fun and enjoyed lazing by the pool soaking up all that sunshine. It was particularly nice to have such a beautiful outlook to the rear of the property, and the Florida glass afforded complete privacy when splashing around in the pool. The interior of your home is well furnished and the entertainment system superb. I also found the computer with high speed internet access very useful. The bedrooms were very clean and tidy and the bed in the master bedroom very comfortable. It was also nice for the children to have the use of the games room with the fan to keep them cool. We have stayed in many villas in Florida and can say that your home is definitely top of the list! We've thought long and hard but really can't think how you can improve upon the villa. The addition of a teapot would be useful!!! Seriously, everything was excellent. We will definitely recommend to friends and family. Many thanks for what was our best holiday in Florida so far. We'll be back! Kind regards" The Denholm Family, Fife, Scotland

"Hi. We got back from Florida on Sunday, as we went down to Key West after leaving Citrus Ridge. We had a great time in your villa - I can't think of anything else we needed during our stay - although my husband did say a printer for the PC would have been handy to print directions etc off. The girls loved the pool, and especially the size of the TV ! We would definately stay again, and have already recommended it to some friends ! Jane Taylor" The Taylor Family, Duffield, UK

"Hi Stuart and Lesley, we just arrived home yesterday so we mail now. We enjoyed your villa very much, even though we did not have enough time to use all the facilities there. Your villa is amazing with all the equipment that a family need for great vacation. If we will visit Orlando again, and it will be possible, we would like to be your guests again. We are waiting to hear from you soon. Bye" The Koren Family, Israel

"Once again your villas were the highlight of our trip. After staying in both of them, we found both of them equally comfortable and luxurious. We can't say enough how much we enjoy them and feel at home from the minute we arrive. Packing up to leave is probably the hardest thing to do. We immediately began saving for our next trip, hoping that there will be space for us when we return. The kids have even decided that they prefered staying in the villa to touring the theme parks. One morning there were about 20 hot air balloons above the pool, not something we get to see everyday, and a great memory for us." The Headley Family, Alaska, US

"Hi, thanks for your email, you beat me to it, I was going to email to thank you today. The villa was great, had all the things we needed, very clean and in great condition. Thanks again and we will certainly be recommending your property. Regards" A. Davis, Essex, UK

"We very much enjoyed staying in your villa and appreciate you making it available. The facilities were excellent and it was a real 'home from home'. We particularly enjoyed the widescreen TV and it has prompted us to probably upgrade ourselves at some stage in the future! We particularly enjoyed not being overlooked at the rear of the property. Regards" The Doolans, Dublin, Ireland
