"Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed
staying at Portobello. It was everything we had hoped and
worked very well and suited our needs completely. The house
layout is fantastic for two families with the queen room
perfect for grandparents. We had a few minor problems; the
battery in one of the smoke alarms needed replacing and one
call to the management company had it taken care of within a
hour. Great service.
Once vacation schedules have been finalized we may be back to the Villa
next spring as we had such a fabulous time this year. Close
to everything – loved Clairmont and the absence of the
Disney hustle and bustle. Take care – all the best. Don,
Bonnie, Kelly, Kyle and Isla Bisset.

"Hi Steve,
I just wanted to let you know that we once again had a great time in the villa, this year before going into the villa we did a cruise and we enjoyed the villa as much as the cruise. The villa was very clean and well presented and so relaxing to stay in that I wished I stayed more than a week this year, still I am in no doubt that I will be back. The other good thing about this villa is Steve himself, he is so easy to communicate with, prior to travelling and once you have arrived.
Great guy to deal with looking forward to doing so again.
Thanks once again Steve for time in the villa cannot wait for the next time

Waiting at Orlando Airport for flight back to UK. Just
wanted to say a very big thank you for the use of your villa
- it was great in all ways. Thank you as well for all the
info.
Hopefully we will be in touch again in the next couple of
years to arrange a repeat. Incidentally the cleaners were
there at 10 when we left - seemed very nice.
Once again very many thanks for the villa - Glenbrook is a
lovely location and it all made for a truly memorable
holiday.
Kind regards

"Wow what a wonderful last five days to our holiday in Orlando. The villa was a welcome respite after all the hustle and bustle of the theme parks and when the kids found the games room in the garage with pool table, footie table, darts, tv, they left us alone by the pool for the best part. Great pool toys for them to enjoy too and a bbq for our use made it a fabulous end to a great holiday. Free internet access meant we could stay in touch with those left in UK too. Thanks so much and we will definiately try to get this villa again for the future. Cheers Carole, Bob and family.

"Hi Steve,
I would be grateful if you could advise the availability and price of the rental of your villa around the 10th September 2010. We are looking to stay for 14 nights somewhere around this date.
My wife and I, stayed at your villa in September 2008, which was booked through First Choice and enjoyed it immensley. We have been regular visitors to the Orlando area staying in other Villas and can honestly say that yours is definately the best, hence the reason, why we would like to stay again.
I would appreciate if you could come back to me on the availability,hopefully with good news.
Many thanks and Kind regards

"Steve,
Just wanted to thank you very much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful villa in Florida. We arrived back home yesterday after a fabulous two weeks. We thought the villa was fabulous and we all had a fantastic time. We spent a lot of time around the villa relaxing by the pool and enjoying the games room. Facilities were excellent.
If you dont mind we have taken some of your business cards home and will be highly recommending your villa to our friends and family.
We met some really lovely people on our visit this year such as Mark (the pool guy) and his wife Dawn. We also met neighbours of yours - Mike and Gillian who live by the clubhouse.
If and when we are able to return to Florida, we will be in touch to see about renting again.
Steve, thanks again for accommodating us for the late check out. We really appreciated it and thanks for everything you have done for us to make this such a wonderful relaxing holiday.
Many thanks,

"Hi Steve,
I just want to e mail you to let you know what a great time we all had on holiday and this is down to the fact that we had such a great villa, I’ve stayed in villas before but my parents have not and they were overwhelmed by the villa that they did not want to leave. Both my parents are in there 70’s and for all of the holiday they were like two little kid’s in the theme parks and back at the villa in the pool playing around with balls and airbeds things we could not really do at a hotel, hiring a villa is the only way to visit that part of the U.S.A. They both liked it so much that they want to go back with brother and his family in 2011 plus cousin and a friend I work with has asked for information on the villa
Thanks once again

"Review submitted by guest to villarenters website
We are a family of four - two children aged 17 and 14. We decided to have a villa instead of just a hotel room - no rush for a sunbed by the poolside. It was lovely being able to eat in or out, with the excellent kitchen facilities and local stores to purchase everything you could possible require, this was not a problem. Everything was clean and tidy and well presented. The use of the phone linked through a computer connection was a bonus and worked well. Also, the wireless connection for the Internet was very useful. To make the most of this property, it is essential to have a car. Disney World, etc. is only a few mins. away by car. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to a friend.'
Value: Excellent , Met expectations: Exceeded them , Recommend: Definitely , Overall: Excellent

"Review for: VILLA PORTOBELLO (8132)
'Great Place! Much better than a hotel. Baby friendly/kid friendly. Lots of space. Wish we would have taken more days to spend at the house since we were at the theme parks almost everyday. Really enjoyed it, had everything we needed and more. The best thing was that the whole payment and communication transaction was safe and easy. Owner could easily be contacted via e-mail and answered all our questions prior to our arrival. Not one problem the whole time we were there.'

"The review:
Lovely villa, spacious and well presented.
Well equipped, there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't already there. Although we didn't have a child with us, the things provided for them looked good too.
Solar pool heat is great if you need it, otherwise the pool is in full sunshine from early morning until the evening. Spa is also nice for relaxing!
The only minor problem we had was dealt with by the rental company within 24 hours.
Vonage sometimes a little unpredictable but that's not the owners fault I don't think.
Access to the pool and gym on the complex are good too.
Would definitely return, no hesitation, thanks!!

"Hi Steve
We had a wonderful holiday, the villa is lovely and with it being so big you don't get the feeling of being under each other's feet every time you turn around. I was very impressed with the surrounding area too. It's all so clean and well kept, it puts the UK to shame.
We were in a huge rush when getting ready to leave, and we had bought so many things, as prices are so cheap in the US, that we had to surround ourselves with luggage while driving back to the airport. I filled the dishwasher up and put it on before we leaving, but there was still a few dishes left, and we couldn't put any washing on as we didn't have any detergent left, so sorry about that. I had to phone the guy who was picking us up UK end and he had to bring a trailer for the extra luggage!
Thank you very much for letting us rent your villa, I can highly recommend it and have taken some of your cards to hand around.
Kind regards

"Hi, this villla is superb!! Immaculate through-out and every convenience thought off. Could not fault the villa in anyway and Steve is great too, ready to answer any questions and helped with every query we put to him - nothing too much trouble. Our only problem was that the Glenbrook Resort was not recognised by sat nav so we spent nearly two hours trying to find it -not great after 12 hrs travelling. All would have been well had there not been so many road closures due to road works and we could have followed Steve's directions, but that wasn't Steve's fault. Advice for sat nav users just find the US27 and Walgreens/CVS with petrol station opposite. Overall A*******************************************

"Hi Steve
Just a quick note and thank you for the villa rental. The villa was beautiful and the facilities excellent. We loved the full size pool table and the pool was larger than previous villas we'd stayed in before. The furnishings were lovely and there was absolutely everything there we required. We bought a baby monitor for $16 from Wal-Mart so that can be used for future trips across the pond! Thanks again,

"We had 8 people in the house and we were all comfortable and had enough space. Nice to have all the conveniences of home and feel at home in this house. The games room and the pool provided entertainment when we weren't at Disney. The kids had a blast. It took us about 20 minutes to reach Disney, but the drive wasn't bad and good for unwinding at the end of the day. Overall it was great value for the money and we will always stay in a house instead of hotel now.

We recently stayed at your villa, December 29th to January 6th. It was fabulous. My parents were thoroughly impressed with your home as well. The management people were friendly and helpful.
We are thinking about going back to Florida for a week in March (March 9th to 16th inclusive). How much would it cost to rent your villa again for that time period?

"Steve & Kim,
Thank you very much for the thoughtful gift today. We were not expecting anything at all. You both are very sweet. Craig & I were sitting out by the pool and my sister & brother-in-law answered the door, and became very surprised to find someone bearing gifts.
Everyone is having fun and loving the house as usual. The garage is unbelievable. You really did a great job. The boys haven't even been down to the clubhouse. Craig & I have a question? Is the St. Louis Rams banner for us? It made us feel right at home.
Today we did mini golf, yesterday we spent flea market shopping. Maybe tomorrow we'll try a Disney Park or the Kennedy Space Station. Besides its only day 4 out of 12. We have a lot more to see and do.
Better get out of here before they lock me in. Thank you again. You guys are GREAT!

"Hi Steve,
I just wanted to thank you and tell you that my family had a wonderful time staying at your home. We found your home to be very comfortable and well equipped with all the things a family would need to complete their vacation. We loved the pool and spa and spent a lot of our time outdoors. I purchased several new pool toys that I left behind for you and any other guest that may stay at your home in the future. The only suggestion I might make is that the carpeting is in desperate need of cleaning with several spots where drinks or something had spilled. It must be very frustrating as the homeowner to see that others do not take care of what you have worked so hard to obtain. I can assure you that my family treated your home as if it was our own and made sure it was in the same condition we found it when we arrived. Again you couldn’t ask for a better location and we would recommend Glenbrook to our friends.
Thanks again for a wonderful time.

"Dear Mr. Haydon,
We returned home today from Florida. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. Your home is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you decorated, very lit up and open. You actually have the same furniture as I would like. Those couches are incredibly comfortable. I love the layout of the kitchen, well I loved everything. I had to drag my nefews out of the pool everyday. The weather was great. Hot, clear, & sunny. I was hoping to get a sun-tan, but no such luck. My fiance' is interested in building our own vacation home there.
Disney World was a blast. I love how close it was. The sales office was saying there will soon be a rear entrance to the complex putting you around 5 minutes away from Disney.
Everyone definetly would like to do this trip again next year. So hopefully we will chat again someday.
Thank you again for sharing your home with us.
