Guestbook for Highlands Reserve
Hi Jo
We arrived home on Monday from our stay in Florida, your villa was very comfortable, and our every need was catered for, we made full use of the pool..... very nice and relaxing. The weather was hot hot hot, and only one downpour at the Magic Kingdom one evening just as the fireworks had began. I would recommend your villa to family and friends as the location was spot on for the I-4 and 192 roads.
Thanks again Elaine (Milton Keynes) October 2009
Hi Jo,
I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to express our gratitude to you for everything. We could not have asked for better, and your help and patience was really appreciated. We had an absolutely wonderful holiday. Your home is fantastic and a credit to you both. This was our first time having a villa and it was such a difference to our last visit to Florida when we stayed in a Hotel on International Drive.
So once again, thanks for everything, and who knows maybe we will be in touch again to organise another trip in the not too distant future.
Take Care Tony (Co. Laios, Rep of Ireland) June 2009
Hi Mrs Smith,
Yes indeed we enjoyed ourselves very much and wished that we had booked three weeks. The children had a great time so much so that my 9 year old grand-daughter has not come down from the excitement as yet and cannot stop talking out it. We managed to carry on with the fact they were going to Cyprus until we checked in when the elder 13 year old boy looked at me and said "I think we are going to Florida and you are telling us tales nan". Of course when I admitted that we were we could not stop them going mad, much to the enjoyment of other travellers around us. They are now asking when we are going to take them again! I must say that your home is huge and was very comfortable. Having two sitting rooms is great for adults as you are able to relax at the end of the day and talk about the events of it. Also being un-overlooked at the pool is great. Thank you once again and should we return with the children next year, I will be in touch.
Regards Pauline (Essex) October 2008
Jo,
I just wanted to write to thank you for the use of your villa. We had a great time, shame we didn't have longer. We didn't have a single problem with the villa and two of the rooms we didn't even touch, saved the maintenance company a bit of work. If we are in a position to return to Florida another year, we would love to stay in the villa again if you are still leasing. Thanks again and thanks for the taking the time out to call us on our arrival.
Cheers, Steve & Family. (Sheffield) October 2008
Hi Jo and Jim
Hope you are both really well, Just wanted to say a big thankyou for allowing us to use your beautiful villa for our holiday, it made not only our holiday possible, but it meant the world to us as a family, especially mum and dad. Your place is lovely and enabled us all to relax in nice chilled surroundings, something that was so important to us all after such a hard 18 months. The pool was brilliant as it reached 100 degrees most days, we saw the shuttle go up from Titusville it was amazing, a once in a lifetime experience. Hope all going well for you both in Oxford.
Thanks again. Love Marie and Stephanie (Derby) July 2008
Good Morning Jo, Just a quick note of thanks for allowing us to stay at your lovely home in Florida. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was made even more special with the wonderful accommodation at Oxford Drive. Everything was in perfect working order and we had no problems what so ever.
Now it's back to reality ! Kind Regards Mick & Janet (Leicester) June 2008
