Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a pleaseure to have such a lovely family stay with us.

Our family rented this very beautiful home for a week. It had everything we needed and things we didn’t even know we wanted. The gorgeous pool has southern exposure. Located in a lovely, gated community that is close to the supermarket, restaurants, shopping etc. The owners were such a pleasure to deal with. Correspondence was seamless. Thank you so much for sharing and allowing us to stay and play at your piece of paradise. We will absolutely be back.

Hope you had a safe journey back to Canada, Rosilyn and thank you for leaving the Villa in such great condition - it is such a big help and very much appreciated. That's a wonderful review, thank you so much. We will certainly keep you updated on all improvements as we go and it will be our pleasure to welcome you and your family back. We are next there in April to oversee internal painting and some other work (so we too need to navigate our winter before going - not quite as harsh as yours!). I know still a month away but have a wonderful Christmas and holiday period

Thanks for the extras (clothes horse, washing up bowl, grater) all delivered very quickly and much appreciated. We appreciated the new TT bats although the pool table proved to be the favourite choice with my son-in-law and grandson (left you a pack of 6 TT balls). The villa was great and very comfortable beds. Our grandson loved the computer room. We are planning to come back for Christmas 2020

That is brilliant Emma, thank you for your kind words and we are so pleased you both enjoyed it so much. it was a pleasure having you and James stay with us

We have just got back home to England after a memorable 12 nights that we spent in Phill and Nicola’s beautiful home in West Haven. The house was everything and more than what we expected. The pictures do not do it justice at all. All the furniture is immaculate and so comfortable and you can see that they take care of the house so well. The neighbourhood was lovely, really quiet and very safe, and also full of wildlife!! The location is good with the shops, restaurants and excellent golf courses at Champions Gate a 5 minute drive away. You can even see the fireworks from Disney (Universal is a good 40 minutes away but that is down to the awful i4 freeway!!). I couldn’t recommend this wonderful villa anymore and also the owners Phill and Nicola who have been fantastic all the way through and so helpful. Many thanks again Phill and Nicola.

Thank you so much Lisa, we absolutely fell in love with the place and we are really happy to share it with others. Pls relax, enjoy and treat the place as your own – don’t forget Millers on Tuesdays.

We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation, our daughter used the Second Master and always sat on the balcony in the rocking chair listening to her music at least twice per day and was so sad to leave her lovely bedroom. She really got so attached to the villa, her room and the beautiful pool. The pool was lovely and warm and beautiful and we were able to swim in it each day. Our daughter used her lilo chair all the time and absolutely loved the outlook from the pool, which was truly beautiful and quiet and so serene. The warm pool really helped her health. As we live in a quiet village, it felt just like home, but with the pool and beautiful sunshine, it was amazing!!

It was our pleasure to share our home with you and your lovely family. We are so pleased that your daughter enjoyed the balcony and pool which helped with her health. Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you again.

Had a wonderful time really enjoyed the villa and will definitely recommend to family and friends. With regards the villa we really couldn’t fault it, this is our 5th time staying in a villa in Orlando and I can honestly say it was the best equipped, the décor was excellent, the location perfect and the community very quiet and secure.

Superb review Andy – thank you. We were delighted that you all enjoyed it so much and had such a relaxing and enjoyable vacation and would consider staying with us again. Thank you also for leaving the Villa in such a nice and tidy state and for starting the laundry – it is such a big help and is very much appreciated.

It was a fantastic break, just wish it could have been longer! Debbie and Tim were fantastic, always very quick to respond, though we tried to avoid as we know it costs you guys money for call outs etc. They are a real asset, as was the pool guy. Overall the house was lovely, A/C was just one of those things. Tim did come out but needed a pro in the end to clean out, he said it was a fairly standard issue and the drainage just gets blocked with debris over time. We tend to pop over to Florida every couple of years and think your property was the nicest we have stayed in. The last 3 or 4 times when in the Orlando area we have stayed somewhere along the 27 normally further north but would definitely like to return depending on number of people

Thanks so much Simon, that's great feedback. Yes we are so lucky to have Debbie and Tim - they are stars and really look after all the smaller details and really do make a difference. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay - it's always the case when you get home wishing it was longer. Thanks once again for staying with us and please do keep us in mind for future stays.

First off, the communication with the owner was fantastic. Rarely did a message go more than a few hours before a response... not that I needed or required a response so quickly. Our family of 9 was able to comfortably occupy this home without any issues of privacy or space. We had member in their 70s, 40s, 30s and teens. No one was ever cramped or bored. The pictures of the home did not do it true justice as the home is in really wonderful condition. Each room is spacious, and the beds are quite comfortable. There is ample room in each closet with lots of hangers and the dressers are plentiful… you will have plenty of room for all your clothes. Almost every room in the house has a large television for your enjoyment and to relax. We had very little need to watch television as there was a den with a PlayStation 3, and a garage that housed an 8 foot pool table, basketball hotshot, and a foosball table. Much of our time was spent in the stunning large pool and hot tub. Nice and warm too!! The kitchen is very spacious with really great appliances and all the cookware you need to prepare good meals. The cupboards are full! You will not run short of anything! We could not have been more pleased with this home, and there is a very good chance we will come back to this home away from home in the future!

Just read your review, David - that is awesome thank you so much - it is very much appreciated. Thanks also for the pics, it is lovely to put a face to the name.

Take care David, I will make a note to send you picture updates of the new 75" TV planned for the Great Room lol Have a great year and we would love to have you stay with us again

Phill, we arrived yesterday evening after a long day. We are very pleased with your home and are really excited about a nice relaxing vacation here Bob Nice home with a great neighbourhood. The owners were great to deal with. Well-appointed and we really enjoyed our stay. We are looking at next year and are thinking about 4 weeks (Mar/Apr). Please let me know what you think about this. I realize that this is early but we definitely want to come back here next year.

Thank you, Bob, for the feedback, it was a pleasure having you stay with us and we look forward to welcoming you again next year

We are strongly considering a return visit next year for 4-5 weeks, so would be interested if your villa is available for the same period of time in 2020. We appreciate all your communication and concern for our happiness during, and after, our stay at your Bella Vista. Thanks much!

Thanks Bryan, really appreciate your lovely comments – please find attached our calendar for next year.

We very much enjoyed our 3 week stay in December 2018/January 2019. Lots of good things to say about this property - spacious, well equipped kitchen, nice pool with lots of afternoon sun, and a wonderful upper deck above the pool - great place to get away from the kids for some peace and quiet.
