Had a great time over the New Year holiday, and appreciated that there was a Christmas tree in the house! Very close food shopping, at non inflated prices! Very clean spacious and comfortable house with a well equipped kitchen as we cooked for 7 every evening. Julie you were a pleasure to deal with giving a very personal touch to the process. Thanks!

Gibson family, Missouri, USA – December 2011



Everything was absolutely fabulous! Weather here is great along with the pool. Def. recommend Manny’s Chophouse – went there twice. Of course, did Universal also. My husband and son-in-law went deep sea fishing – they loved it! The girls did the Outlet Malls. Hope to save for another trip down here – love it! Thank you for the use of your wonderful house.

The Byers family - South Wales, New York, USA - November 2011



Julie and David, Count us among your happy returning guests! We have just returned from our second stay in this beautiful home and it was every bit as wonderful. We were so sorry when our holiday ended. Some of our favourite times were spent in the pool and hot tub during the warm days and also under the stars in the cool evenings...much fun! We enjoyed the use of the games room, TV, WiFi for our laptop, and free phone calls to family back at home. We appreciated the large size of this villa, it's cleanliness, the comfortable beds, spacious kitchen, and the quiet location (though close to grocery stores, some great restaurants, and good shopping!). Choosing a place to stay while in Florida has proved to be one of the biggest decisions for us, and the peace of mind when communicating with the owners of this home is so valuable. Every bit of communication was prompt, friendly, and accurate. We would not hesitate to book again or to recommend this villa to our friends and family. Once again, our expectations were exceeded.

The Epp family - Alberta, Cananda - November 2011



Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely villa. It was great to come back to at the end of a busy day and just chill around the pool, use the games room and eat dinner alfresco. We have on 3 previous occasions stayed in villas in Haines City and your villa has suited our need the best. We particularly thought the open plan layout of downstairs was good as it meant that when our men were cooking they were not excluded. The quality of the appliances in the villa was also the best we have come across. We would not hesitate recommending the villa to friend and family and if we were to return to Orlando again we would once again book your villa. Thanks again!

The Morgan and Taylor families - Ebbr Vale, South Wales - October 2011



We stayed in this villa in Sept/October and I have to say that this villa surpassed some of the more expensive villas we have previously stayed in. Julie was immediately on hand to answer any queries. We had one slight problem on arrival but this was swiftly taken care of by the management company. Whilst the location appears to be slightly further away from the theme parks when looking at a map, we found that the I4 was fast flowing and easy to navigate and we spent no more time travelling than in previous villas. In fact I preferred to be off the US27 as opposed to off the 192. The villa was welcoming, spacious and a pleasure to stay in. I would certainly re-book with Julie as the service she provided was second to none. Thank you Julie.

The Rawlins family – Yorkshire, England – September 2011



What a fabulous villa, just returned from a very enjoyable holiday made all the more memorable by staying in this fantastic villa. It really had the wow factor. Stayed before in other villas but this one was by far the best. Lovely and clean, well maintained and very spacious. We spent some very enjoyable evenings in the pool and hot tub after long days at the parks and made full use of the gas bbq. The villa is not over looked by neighbours and is in a quiet area which was a plus. The games room was also a big hit. We hope one day to return and will be recommending the villa to family & friends. Great customer care from Julie, all of our enquires were answered swiftly and our deposit returned within days. Thanks for the very happy memories

The Crow family - Surrey, England - August 2011



Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely villa. We had a great time. Wishing you good luck in the future with your letting.

The Downwards - Manchester, England - August 2011



Many thanks Julie & David for the use of your villa. The villa was immaculate and the Villa Sorrento estate is very quiet and peaceful. The whole family really enjoyed our stay and are already counting down the days to our next visit!

Henderson Family, Edinburgh, UK – July 2011



Thank you so much for the use of your fantastic home. You’ve been so helpful – everything has been amazing! Manny’s Chophouse was a fantastic recommendation – I’ve never had a better steak and Neola loved her fish! And Dora’s Pizza – Better than Darios in Sowerby Bridge and that takes some beating. Wonderful time, brilliant place. Thanks. Danny and Neola - Halifax, England - July 2011



Hello David and Julie What a great place! Beautiful setting and great amenities. Not far from the parks and lots of room. Had a great time, thanks for letting us share the experience.

David Barnett, Colorado Springs, USA – June 2011



Thank you for the use of your fabulous villa – it had everything we could possibly want! We had a fabulous time and the information you gave was invaluable. After long days out the children had a great time in your swimming pool – in fact it was just the job for cooling down and relaxing in. Thanks again - We will be back!

The Taylor family – Staffordshire, England - June 2011



The 10 of us had an amazing time at your villa. Will definitely be recommending it to everyone.

The Marques Family – Portugal – April 2011



Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful villa. We had a fabulous time. Special thanks to Julie for all her advice and tips on where to go and places to eat, Manny’s was a huge hit with our party. The children all had a wonderful time in the pool and the games room and are all very sad to be leaving, as are we. Thanks again.

The Whitaker & Tidswell families, Yorkshire, England – April 2011



Have had the best trip ever! Your vacation rental is splendid, there are no words! We had the best time ever! And we will be back.

The Macfarlane family, South River, Canada – March 2011



Thank you so much allowing us to rent your spacious and comfortable home. We were so happy here it was so clean and beautiful and our kids loved it here too! Pool and hot tub was a nice added bonus. Our family went to Disney World, Clearwater Beach, and hung out at Old Town for a few days too! We will definitely call again to rent here when we come back this way!

The Peed Family, Ohio, USA – February 11



Thank you so much for renting us your beautiful spacious home. We had lots of fun visiting the parks and coming back ‘home’ to recoup. Your home is so well cared for, clean and spacious, and your pre-arrival e-mails detailing local attractions and dining was amazing. Our friend Dawn had a terrific 40th Birthday in Florida thanks to your awesome home.

The Emo’s and friends, Ontario, Canada – February 11



This was our second visit to this villa, as soon as we walked back in it was just like being at home. We particularly like the sense of space within the villa where everyone can find somewhere to have some quiet time. The games room is well equipped and we very much appreciated the availability of the free Wifi and telephone facility. The close proximity to shops (Walmart) and restaurants is just great if you need to get food shopping or lunch. The villa has great access to the theme parks via US27 or I4. Manny’s Steakhouse remains one of our favorites and we would advise anyone to make sure they take advantage of the “phone ahead” service. Manny’s has recently opened an extension to the restaurant so the waiting time should reduce. To sum it up the villa has everything a family could want whilst staying in Florida. Thank you for all your help and support. We have had a really great holiday in your home. Looking forward to visiting again.

The Ramsay Family, Essex, England – January 11



We did like your villa and spent a good time even though the weather was not as expected. It’s the best villa rental in the USA for us, very big regards.

Yves & Yann, France - December 2010



Thank you for all your advice and recommendations! We have just experienced the family vacation of a life time. The villa far exceeded our expectations and will be forever in our memories as our ‘home’ during this amazing experience. We will definitely be recommending your villa to all! Once again, thank you.

Erasmo & Marqueses Families, Manitoba, Canada - December 10



Julie and David, thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations and an opportunity to enjoy your beautiful villa. The home was as described and exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was spacious which allowed everyone to participate in meal preparation. Everyone loved the games room. We were unable to visit Manny’s Steakhouse. However, we managed to have Dora’s Pizza for two nights of our stay and it was absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recommendation. Most importantly, thank you for your prompt and thorough responses to all of our inquiries. We hope to return to Florida and your Florida World Villa in the future.

The Tenner Family and Friends (U.S. – Michigan & California) – December 2010



>Thanks so much for the rent of your beautiful villa. We all loved the swimming pool and hot tub. The family called it home. We had a wonderful lively but relaxing time and will most likely be back. Thanks again.

The Kitson family, PEI, Canada – November 10



Hi Julie, Thanks again for all your help in our recent stay in your beautiful villa. Your help beforehand was fantastic – all our emails were answered so quickly and your pre-arrival information was much better than any other owner we have dealt with before. The villa was stunning, fabulous interiors and a peaceful pool area and villa community. Having a Walmart and many fast food restaurants and takeaways within such a short drive from the villa was so helpful after long days out at theme parks. Would highly recommend to any other potential renters – this villa has it all: excellent facilities and spacious rooms, great games room, beautiful pool not overlooked by other villas, brilliant electronics – and the bonus of free wi-fi and telephone calls back to the UK. What are you waiting for?

The Lloyd Family, The Wirral, England – Nov 10



Can’t believe it is a year since our first entry in this book. How time flies! As last year the villa is wonderful, spent lazy days in the pool and spa! Took your advice and went to Manny’s 3 times in 6 nights, not a bad feast! If you love steak it is the place to go. Also spent an afternoon at Lakeland and visited Bok Gardens. Admission was $10 each but the gardens and tower are beautiful. By chance happened to be there at 3pm for the tower concert which just added to our enjoyment! Thank you again for letting us share your beautiful villa. Hopefully we will return at some time in the future.

The Higgins family, Leeds, England – September 10



We have just returned from a 2 week stay at this villa and we have already made enquiries to return next year. After 12 visits staying on site or in a hotel I was a little apprehensive about if a villa was for us. I need not have worried, the moment we walked through the door I knew my worries were needless. By day 2 we were already discussing when we would return and not if we would return. This villa is truly amazing, I knew from the photos we had been sent that the villa was going to be good but it surpassed all of our expectations. The quality of furniture and decor is top class and the villa is just perfect. The house is massive and our daughter joked it was like being on cribs! The owners have thought of everything you could possibly think of or need and then added more. The pool and spa were just perfect and a real treat to come home to after a day at the parks. The games room was a massive hit with everybody and many a hard fought game was played out of an evening in there. It took on average 20-25 minutes to get parked at Disney from the villa and 30 mins to get parked at universal. The drive was very easy as there was no traffic problems on the us27 or I4, we found it far easier getting anywhere from here than we have previously on the 192. The villa owners were fantastic to deal with and so helpful at every stage of the booking process. Julie and David really have been a joy to deal with and we look forward to returning to Villa Sorrento soon. Diolch yn Fawr!!

The Patterson Family, Gwent, Wales – Sept 10



We had a fantastic holiday in the Florida World Villa. Excellent location and private outlook to the pool (the kids loved the pool). The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more….the games room was brilliant for family evenings in after a long day at the parks. It has been a real pleasure to know that when we arrive back exhausted there is a lovely house to come back to.

The Funnell Family, Lincolnshire, England - Aug 10



Well, we have just arrived home from a superb holiday, made even better by our stay in your wonderful villa. Many, many thanks for the card and Champagne that awaited our arrival, it was so kind of you both to remember it was our special trip. We were all very excited when we got to the villa as, although we had all seen it on the internet, the reality is much better than the pictures. Really, the villa was a joy to come home to after hectic days and your advice regarding the heating of the spa was invaluable. We all had tired legs, even the young ones and the spa brought them back to life in no time at all. All the children must be waterlogged as they were in the pool for hours every day. The games room was a hit and resulted in a nightly father and son pool championship. This is a spacious comfortable and superb Villa that has everything you could wish for to make the perfect holiday. We were especially pleased with its location as it is close to local shops and restaurants and only a short twenty five minute drive from the Disney attractions. The owners are very good, kept in contact with us and provided very helpful and accurate information at every stage of the renting process. In short, we would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone considering a Florida holiday.

The Way family, Cornwall, England – July 10



As you know, we’re back again this year after first experiencing your beautiful home in 2009. Again we appreciated the ‘homely’ experience your villa brings. As previous holidaymakers comment the ability to come ‘home’ from a long day at the parks or whatever it may be that we’re up to is fantastic. To just chilling out or having a late night dip your home offers these facilities tremendously. Thanks again for making us all feel so welcome.

The Reid family, Scotland – July 10



Your home is lovely - We all had a lovely time in your home and will miss the swimming pool and Jacuzzi when we get back home. We will be recommending it to all our friends. All the information you gave was a big help. My family say a very big thank you to your family for all the information and for letting us stay in your lovely home. Thanks Again.

Kelvin, Denise and family, Yorkshire, England – June 10



Thank you very much for everything and letting us stay in your home it was so beautiful. We loved every part of it. It was so nice to come home to a beautiful home that felt like our own. We loved the pool and hot tub. We had a lot of fun and hopefully someday we’ll be able to come back!

Rachel Nelson & friends, Illinois, USA - June 10



We loved our stay in your precious and beautiful villa. We want to thank you so much for letting us stay in your home. The kids loved the pool and the games room, for me, the Jacuzzi was a hit every evening! We hope to come back some time, we definitely will contact you by that time! So, thank you so much, also for the nice communication. It helped us a lot!

The Cornelussen family, The Netherlands - May 10



We had a wonderful time- your house is great. We felt right at home. We always love this area. Will recommend this house to anyone we know. Love the overhang by the pool. We sat out and watched the Lightning and Thunder.

Johnson & Ellis families, St. John’s, Newfoundland – Mar 10



Thank-you very much for letting us rent your wonderful home. We settled right in like it was our own! Very comfortable, clean and spacious! Thank-you for your constant communication prior to our arrival, it helped plan our vacation. This was the first time our family visited Disney and Animal Kingdom. My 5yrs and 3yrs old loved it! However I think they liked swimming in the pool just as much. J We took your advice and went to Manny’s Chop House- unfortunately, the wait was too long for us- both kids were exhausted by dinner time! However, the restaurant looked good- we will be sure to try it next time! Thank-you again- next time we plan a vacation to Orlando I will be sure to contact you to inquire on renting this wonderful home again. Thanks

The Dickey family, Ontario, Canada – Mar 10



Because we were not used to book a villa through the internet, we were a bit cautious with our expectations. But the villa is in one word fantastic. Everything about the villa is great, from the pool and spa, to the games room, from the couch to lazy watch television on, to the free phone calls. The location of the villa is close enough to enjoy the Orlando / Tampa theme parks, NBA Basket ball and shopping malls. Space Centre Kennedy is not far either. In the neighbourhood there a plenty of places to have your breakfast (Denny’s or Bobs’), your dinners (Manny’s) or if you like to do your own cooking, the kitchen is enormous and fully equipped; A huge Wall-mart is five minutes from the villa. All and all a great place to stay. Thanks for sharing your beautiful villa with us.

Van Hoolwerf family, The Netherlands – Feb 10



We loved everything about the house, the games room was a big hit. My husband spent most of the time in there with our grandson. The pool and hot tub was used as well, although the weather in Florida during our stay was unusually cold. The bedrooms made us feel extra comfortable, giving us each a bit of our own space. The play yard and high chair was also very useful for my granddaughter. The house had everything that we had at home and more. We will definitely be in contact with you for our next vacation to Florida.

The Arroyo Family, New York, USA – Dec 09.



Thank you so much for making your home available to us. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed your villa so much. The privacy afforded by the large corner lot and orange groves behind the pool was wonderful. The décor is truly lovely, the home comfortable, and we couldn’t think of one more thing that we could possibly want as you have thought of each detail. The home and pool were very clean and it is apparent that the property is well cared for and regularly attended to. Our family enjoyed our time spent by (and in) the pool and spa and we also loved the games room. The PS2 game system was a treat as well. Even more important to us than all of the aspects of this beautiful accommodation was the peace of mind we had in dealing with you as owners. Your communication was always prompt, friendly, and very helpful, and you provided us with the highest standard of customer service which exceeded our expectations. Thank you again and we would be pleased to book with you again should we be lucky enough to return to Central Florida.

The Epp family, Alberta, Canada – Nov 09



Thank you so much for letting us use you villa. It was exactly as the pictures on the website and not too far out from all the parks etc. We had so much fun and will book again

Gilligan Family,Ireland – Oct 09



The villa is fantastic and has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The location is close enough to enjoy the myriad of theme parks but is far away enough so that you can forget the crowds - just perfect for a relaxing few days. Everything about the villa is top class, from the beautiful pool and spa, to the bedrooms, lounge, games room ..... the list goes on. It even has the Fox Soccer Channel which shows English Premiership football and Sky Sports News – what more could you possibly want! More often than not we opted to stay at the villa, have a BBQ and relax in the pool in the wonderful Florida sunshine. On the subject of sunshine, due to the position of the villa, the pool area gets the sun almost all day – important if you want to keep the tan topped up! We can’t wait to go back – hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. Thanks for sharing your beautiful villa with us.

The Higgins family, Leeds, England – Sept 09



I wanted to let you know that we all had the most wonderful time in your beautiful home. To be honest because the house is so wonderful and everything is provided, it made us all very careful (I wish the kids could be like that at home!) It was just amazing and far exceeded all expectations on every front. So much so that the property we arrived at in Marco Island yesterday is a bit of a disappointment.

The Blackburn family, Sussex, England – Aug 09



We had a superb family holiday with all the kids and the grandchildren. Memories will remain for ever and we were very fortunate to be able to share your Villa. It was so good to be able to relax after the vigours of the theme parks. I would like to think we will revisit in the not too distant future.

The Smith Family, Leeds, Bradford and Bolton – July 09



The villa is a fabulous place to stay. It felt spacious, clean, homely and very well furnished with many little extras. CDs, DVDs, i Pod docker, paperbacks etc were just some of the extras we didn’t expect. The games room is super with a genuine pool table that looks brand new! My family and I live in a nice home in the UK and when going abroad we try not to compromise on quality – on this occasion we didn’t! The location is a little bit out, but the quality of the accommodation more than makes up for that little bit of extra travelling. If you’re used to staying on the US 27 in a villa, go South to Haines City for this one – well worth it!

The Reid Family , Scotland, Jun 09



We had a wonderful vacation in your beautiful home. We were very impressed with how clean a convenient your home was. Gone are the days of hotels for our family. We hope to be back next year. Thank you.

The Fragomeni family, Ontario, Canada – Mar 09



We had a great time in your villa. The house is beautiful and provided everything that we needed. It was a great break from the cold and snowy Canadian weather. Beautiful home, great location, our family has had a great time in Florida. Your home really made our stay extra special and the weather has been excellent. Thanks

Rowan family, Ontario, Canada – March 09



Thank you for sharing this wonderful home with us. It is perfectly equipped with everything we needed. We have had the best time, the weather was much better than the snow at home. Thanks – a wonderful time had by all.

The Hogarth-Hall Family, Yorkshire, England – Feb 09



The villa was lovely! We all had a wonderful time there. After spending our days at the parks, shops, and mini golf courses, it was so nice to come back to the villa for dinner and relaxation. The girls and I enjoyed the pool and my Dad and sister really enjoyed the hot tub! Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your home. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our trip to Orlando. I would return tomorrow if I could. I would even bring all the family drama with me, again. I think that having the villa made our trip so much more enjoyable than if we had stayed on Disney property. It was so nice to have my parents, my sister and brother-in-law, and my nieces, all under one roof, yet all with their own "space". Since I returned home I have raved so much about our trip and the villa, many people have asked and I have given your web address to all of them. Thanks again!

The Prunty Family, Illinois, USA, Jan '09



What a great house! We so enjoyed ourselves, the pool and spa were a hit. We had so much space here that we would and could never stay in a hotel down here again. We are off to play in the semi final for the Disney Showcase Soccer tournament! Hopefully we will do well. Thanks for letting us stay here, we are definitely interested in staying here next year, when we come again. Thanks.

The Zorica Family, Indiana, USA – Dec 08



We thought Florida World Villa was just perfect. It was everything we expected it to be and more. When we walked in through the door the very first time, our mouths were aghast at the loveliness of it all. The size, location and decor of the house were amazing - we used the pool twice a day and the spa-pool under the stars, after a hard day at the parks was bliss!! We shall remember with such fondness, our stay at Villa Sorrento - you couldn't find a better home to be 'at home' in during your stay in Orlando. We shall return and indeed, recommend it to friends. Thanks so much!

The Sansum Family, England, Nov '08



For us it was the first time we did this kind of transaction.  We were a little sceptical about it. But when we got there we saw a big house with very comfortable spaces and fully equipped.  A well equipped kitchen, family and game room.  Nice Pool table! Directions to the villa were right on the money. The security system was very assuring. Communication with the villa owner; priceless.  I recommend the villa to anyone looking for a different setting than the usual hotel or resort.  Very good for family vacation.

The Rivas Family, Puerto Rico, Oct '08



Thank you for letting us use your home. We have had a fantastic stay. The pool and spa was a life saver in the hot sun. We loved the pool table – the games room became a real ‘mans room’! Not sure about the scorer on the ice-hockey though – seemed to be broke to me! LOL! 

The Penfold Family, Sydney, Australia, Aug '08



We had a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, time at your Villa.  Thanks for allowing us to visit your Home.Hope to see it again next year!

T Allen, Tennessee, USA, Jun '08



We really enjoyed our time at your villa, the house and décor are fabulous as are the facilities. We will be recommending it to all our friends and work colleagues as we all agreed it was fantastic value for money – particularly if there is more than one family going. Your information prior to going was very helpful and it reduced our stress levels having clear directions to where we were going when we got off the flight. We will definitely be back!!

The McPherson family, Scotland, May '08



I wanted to tell you the house was beautiful! My daughter loved the pool and games room. We had a wonderful time. Thank You Very Much

The Shock family, Ohio, USA, Mar '08



We enjoyed your beautiful home. The area was nice and very relaxing. The villa was very beautiful and spacious, every room was comfortable and it felt very warm and homely. The games room was a big hit and our family had a great time. Thank You

The Xerri family, Canada, Mar '08
