We've been visiting Florida regularly for the last ten years & try to do something different each visit. This holiday, we visited Discovery Cove for the first time; a beautiful, exceptionally well-managed park which provided us with a memorable day out which we hope to repeat !!     Dolphin experience, other pools, aviary & food all first class.

2006.... Finally managed to get broadband connected! So now have internet-connected PC with wireless access.
Have left network cables + a USB wireless dongle so any laptop should be able to connect to the system...
New Philips 42" plasma TV and hi-def. multi-region DVD player in lounge, lots of films on DVD..
New bedroom suite in master bedroom + all pillows & comforters replaced.
Have fitted digital safe in master closet.

2007....Started New Year with a BANG: pool heater gave up the ghost Christmas Eve, so complete new hi-powered heater fitted (109,000BTU).
June/July:  Fitted remote-control ceiling fan + light outdoors under the lanai, new fan + light in lounge & light fitting to fan in family room. Added automatic kettle + coffee grinder to kitchen.  Fitted CD writer and printer to PC - now able to archive digital 'photos to CD & print airline boarding passes.   For infants / youngsters, now have stroller + blue LED nightlights.

Spring 2008.... New complete hi-efficiency air-con system installed with 'intelligent' digital thermostat. All the rooms were "Florida White" - cool but boring ! We've re-decorated the 2nd & 3rd bedrooms. One pale blue & the other a cream color.  Added a second table lamp to the blue bedroom + all bedrooms have new bed sets in better colors. New Maytag dishwasher in kitchen. Added loads of new DVD titles to collection. New white Corelle crockery, new pool blanket.

We value any comments made (good or bad) & hope to be able to enhance your holiday by providing the small touches that make all the difference! Please email us if you wish to comment on this site or our villa. The following all from guests in the last 6 months:

Now on to our stay in your villa. I speak for all of us when I say we had a fantastic time in your home. The extended pool area was brilliant and we enjoyed many an afternoon having a BBQ and relaxing. Everything we needed was in your home and there is nothing that I can think of that we could fault with your home. The internet connection is another great idea as it meant we could keep in touch with people back home as well as the safe.

Hi Martin
Well just a quick note to Thank you for the use of your brilliant villa. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed your home. The way you were able to get the pool heating fixed so quick really made our second week as even the two wimps in the family were able to enjoy it :-) The worst bit is now the traveling home as we have to fly to Manchester then a 4 hour wait till our flight to Dublin and then a 2 hour car journey :-( I should have booked another day in your villa so we could have relaxed before our flights, we will know the next time.
Again many thanks to you and your family and hope to stay in your home again some day soon.

Dear Martin & Sue,
Sorry about the delay in mailing you, we have had hectic time since we got back from America, and hence the delay in contacting you. We all had a great time, and would like to thank you for the use of your villa which we liked very much, had everything we could have wished for, and surpassed our expectations. Thank you also for returning the deposit to us so promptly. If, or should I say when, we go back to Orlando we will most definitely be in touch with you again.
The instructions to the villa were first class, especially useful as our flight was delayed.
The other information was also very helpful.

Hi Martin & Sue,
Just a quick email to let you know how much we enjoyed your home. It was wonderful & we didn't want to leave. We usually visit Florida every other year and will certainly try to book with you again. We even have had a few people we know inquiring about how to rent your home. Thank you very much for the opportunity to rent such a great house!

I want to thank you for the wonderful time we had at your vacation home. The weather was great, the pool was great and we just thoroughly relaxed. 
All of your short cuts and driving tips were very helpful. Thank you for taking so much time with those. We have been telling everyone in Michigan (lots of snow, single digits temperatures) how great your house is, too.
You have a wonderful, comfortable home and we truly enjoyed ourselves. I hope we will be able to come back sometime soon.

Having spent two weeks in Martin & Sue's villa over Christmas I have to say what a fantastic time we had there. The villa is very big for a 3 bedroom and the extended pool area is superb. I would highly recommended this villa to anyone thinking of going. It is very clean ,bright and everything you need is provided for you. The location is also perfect.
The service we had from Martin and Sue was first class. We had a problem with the pool heat and even though it was Christmas they had someone out to fix it within a day or two. And to round it all of we have received out security deposit back just 3 days after returning home.
Once again thanks to Martin and Sue for the use of their beautiful home and for anyone thinking of going here then get it booked as you will not be disappointed.
