Hi Steve,
I wanted to say a big thanks.  We just got home form a fantastic week at Lakeside Dream.  The weather was absolutly beautiful.  Our 3 year old son really enjoyed the pool.  I'm very glad we opted for pool heat when he wanted to go swimming everyday at 7:00 am.  He has actually worn the skin from his toes from so much swimming.  Thanks again for helping to make our Christmas vacation so great.  Our only disapoitment was having to come home.  We look forward to visiting the villa again.

Hi Steve and Liz,
 
Just wanted to touch base and tell you how much we are enjoying your villa.  Thank you for ensuring the stroller, crib and high chair was available too.  It is so quiet and peaceful...yet close to everything :)  We'll be sure to rent this villa again when we come to Florida.

Take care,
Lorena

Hi Steve

We had a great time at your villa and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again in the future. Gerry and Lynne were also very pleasant and a great help in arranging for repairs to the Internet (wiring problem with the cable splitter in the loft) - nothing was too much trouble for them.
Lots of wildlife on your doorstep - An alligator basking in the sun on the bank of the lake and great excitement for the kids.

All the very best and until the next time

Hi Steve,

We have very much enjoyed our stay in your beautiful house, and we hope we
will be able to come back again next year.
Therefore I would like to suggest that you hold on to the Security deposit.

Please give our thanks to Lynne and Gerry for looking after us so well. They
responded to all our questions and requests without any hesitation.

Thanks again to you both for letting us stay in your house, and as soon as
we know when we will be back we will be in touch again.

Kind regards,
Angela and Frans.

Hi Steve - we had a great time in Florida this year. The weather was
fine although we did have some rain.
We are looking at what we are doing for 2010 but have decided to hang
on a bit to see what is going to happen work wise.
Would be most grateful if you could forward a cheque for the security
deposit.
We found Lyn and Gerry VERY helpful - very nice people.

Regards
Ron

Hi Liz,

just wanted to drop a note to say thank you, we had a fantastic time at Lakeside Dream, the location was fantastic and the villa was home from home (if only we had a pool at home). the place was nice and clean and well prepared for our arrival. the facilities in the villa were exactly as needed, we couldn't have asked for any more. we're just disappointed we had to come home.

we will definately recommend your villas to our family and friends

thanks for a great place to stay

regards

Hi Steve,

Just getting ready to go to the airport.  We have really enjoyed
staying at the villa which has a really great location.

Many thanks,

Jamie

Thanks Steve,
                      Had a wonderful time, villa was very homely and everything we could have hoped for. Gerry was also very helpful.

Cheers
              John
ps we will definately recommend you to others.

Dear Liz and Steve,

Sorry it has taken me so long to write.  We only arrived back from Florida last Friday after spending our last two weeks  over in Naples.

Firstly thank you for sending our Security Deposit back so promptly. Secondly we just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Lakeside Dream.  The position of the villa is perfect. Sitting watching the day break over the lake and the wildlife and birds moving around was so peaceful and relaxing. It was also very quiet which was perfect for us.

We met Lynne and Gerry and they were extremely nice and very helpful.

Again thank you for sharing such a wonderfully situated home with us. My husband and I both agreed we loved the position so much that we would rather stay there than in our friend's villa at Creekside.  We will have to try and take our holidays when they are booked up and hopefully Lakeside Dream is free!!

Kind regards,
Ann

Hi Liz,

Thanks for the cheque which we received this morning. We had a wonderful holiday at Lakeside Dream which has become a favourite house for us at Lake Berkeley.

Your management team in Lynn and Gerry were absolutely superb and looked after us and dealt with the few small problems we had in an exemplary fashion.

Once we get some dates sorted out we will request a booking with you again.

In the meantime, it was great to visit your house once again.

Regards,

Dorothy.

Dear Liz,

we just wanted to thank you for letting us spend such a great time in your  Lakeside Dream villa.
We really enjoyed the pool and the nicely prepared home.
Unfortunately, we had some troubles with the weather, the hurricane seson this year was terrible.
But we  enjoyed ourselves very much anyway because we managed to spend the valuable time as comfortable as possible.
Luckily we haven't actually been in the tracked hurricane area but we had terrible Floridian rain all day long for four days because of Tropical Storm Fay. Because of the winds, the screen broke (just a bit of the net) but we had a really nice pool guy who managed to fix it the next day.

So we are happy about our nice vacation and would really enjoy to repeat it.

Thank you so much,
The Schuster Family

Hi Liz

Thank you for the prompt return of our deposit. We had another great holiday and loved staying at Lake Berkley. We would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks again

Linda Higgins and family.

Hi Liz.
Just received our damage deposit back from the villa, thanks very much.

The villa has a perfect spot nestled in the corner looking down the lake. My favourite time of day was very early in the morning before anyone was up, to be able just to sit and watch the birds and turtle in peace and quiet was heaven. It was also the right size for our two family's and it was very handy having the  Walmart store just around the corner, which to my delight was actually selling Robinson's squash obviously for the "Brit" shoppers, unseen here in Colorado. So Brits abroad do come in handy for something and a couple of bottles was packed in the suitcase to bring back to Colorado.

It took a few days for us to adjust to the humid atmosphere, as here in Colorado it's as dry as the desert air, but we survived. The highlight of the vacation was seeing the shuttle launch at Kennedy space centre on the 5/31st, such an awesome sight to see.
We all had a great time, thank you.
Regards
Angie Bower.

Dear Liz,

Thank you for your email.

We absolutely had a fabulous vacation, and we LOVED the house.  My husband and I keep repeating to each other how much more enjoyable the entire vacation was because of the ability to relax at the end of the day in your rental house.

The house was beautiful, the pool was a blast for the kids

We look forward to our next vacation to Disney (probably a few years from now to give us time to save up again), and we will be highly recommending your houses to anyone we know traveling to Orlando.

Sincerely,

Teresa Anthony

Hi Liz!

Thank you so much for renting your property to us for the last week. My family truly had a great time and the house was just beautiful. I hope everything was upto the standards upon our departure. My Mom and I tried really hard to get everything back to the way it was before. I hope that we can do business again sometime.

Sincerely,
Edelyn

Hi Liz
Have just arrived back in New Zealand.
Many thanks for the use of your house and the prompt return of the bond, which was waiting for us when we got back.  We had a great holiday, and the house was great and also very handy to Walmart, tourist shops and of course Disney.  It made a pleasant change from living out of suitcases in hotel rooms.  . 

Thanks again

Robyn & Paul Brake   

Dear Liz,
     We just wanted to tell you thank you for allowing us into your home.  We had a wonderful time and have sung your praises to many friends and clients. (Although we would love to keep you a secret).   Everything was perfect!!!!   We will definitly be back.  Again, thank you for providing us such a wonderful place to relax and ENJOY our vacation.
Sincerely
Elizabeth and Robert Pinell

Liz,

We had a great time.  The villa was great. It was perfect for the children and us, giving just the right amount of privacy for everyone.  The girls loved the Pooh room and the pool.  We tried to take care of it as if it were our own.  We wrote you a note in the Guestbook.  We will definitely think of you when we go to Orlando in the future.  Thanks so much.

Hi Liz
We have just returned from our holiday at your villa and wish to let you know what a wonderful time we all had. We left the villa on 6 May to travel back to New York by train then onwards to the UK by 8 May, The children moaned for the whole of the train journey because they wanted to stay in the villa, they loved it so much as did we all. We only had one rainy day which kept us indoors but it was lovely to return each evening to such peaceful surroundings and to cool off in the pool.
So thankyou Liz, we are already trying to sort out for next year so expect to hear from us soon.

Regards from Brian & Silvia Partridge

Liz:

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us. There were a couple of times I had to drag my kids away from the house to go do something......they loved the pool.

I have been convinced that renting a villa is the only way to vacation. Feel free to use me as a reference if you ever need one.

Thanks again.

Jeanna Larson & family

Hello Liz,

You have a lovely home at Lake Berkley and we appreciated the brightness and clean surroundings! I, especially, enjoyed all of your creative "touches" such as the doll, sitting on the VCR, in the Master Bedroom and her special wreath of flowers.

Sadly, we ended our stay yesterday and drove "around the corner" to our Disney Vacation Club timeshare for a few days before starting for the cold, snowy Northeast.

Congratulations on your Chatham Park property, which I viewed on the internet.

We are definitely interested in the Lake Berkley home for February 2004, so when you get a chance could you quote me a figure for that monthly rental.

Thank you!

Best Regards,

MJ

Dear Liz

We had a wonderful time in your villa, very comfortable, ideal location and
would love to return sometime in the future.

Thankyou for letting us share your lovely villa.

Regards
Maggie Butler

Dear Liz,
    Thanks for the message. My family and I had a wonderful time in Florida
despite the cold spell there. As the weather at home was 20 degrees F, we
felt that 55 to 70 was like summer! Your house was beautifully decorated and
well supplied with all the extras. I really enjoyed watching the birds on
the lake each morning and the sunset at night. We have rented houses in
Florida before, but yours was by far the best, and in such a convenient
location. I'm sure we'll be contacting you about next winter as well.
Best Wishes,
Arlene Solan

Thanks Liz, got the cheque yesterday.

Your villa is great, much better than those we have rented before. The extra TVs & VCRs came in really handy when we all wanted to watch something different or tape something while we were out. Noel & Mary were really helpful while we were there - what a great couple you have looking after your villas. I've had a look at your villa availability for next year and both are almost fully booked. You'll have to let me in on your secret when I buy my own Florida villa. If you are thinking of buying another villa where there will be more choice on dates can you let me know please. If not we'll try and fit our holidays in with the villa availability you have.

Thanks

Diane

Hi Liz
We had a great time at Lakeside Dream despite the freezing cold weather.The villa was the best that we have stayed in and we are looking forward to going back in June when hopefully we will be able to  swim and sun bathe on the beautiful deck overlooking the lake.I have to say that the bed in the master bedroom is the most comfortable that I have ever slept in and I wished that I could have sneaked it home!A happy New Year to you and your family and thanks again for providing a really super holiday home.

Janette

Dear Liz,
We have just returned from Florida. We like you to know that we had a wonderfull time at your place.
The house was as nice as we hoped for, as was the weather. Allthough that is beyond your influence of course...
So, we will be back sometime!
Regards,
Erik van Bruggen and the rest of the family.

Oh Liz,

We had a wonderful time....THANKYOU!!!!!!

Your villa was just delightful! We will be visiting again. I loved the
location so much, I just want to move there!!!
If you EVER want to sell your villa, let me know!!!!!!!!!!

I'll keep checing the dates on your website, and we will book up for next
year as soon as we can!!

Thanks again!!

Jen

HI LIZ
 JUST THOUGHT WE WOULD LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED OUR STAY AT YOUR VILLA.  IT HAS A VERY HOMLEY ATMOSPHERE AND A GREAT VIEW, WE ALL FELT VERY RELAXED AFTER OUR HOLIDAY THERE AND I AM SURE YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM US IN THE FUTURE FOR NEXT YEARS HOLIDAY.
WE WERE ALSO WONDERING IF THERE WAS A CD FOUND AS WE THINK WE MAY HAVE LEFT ONE BEHIND.

THANKS AGAIN
LESLEY & FAMILY

Hi Liz
I received your cheque this morning.  We didn't use or touch the security buzzers so I'm not sure when it was broken.  We did have a great time, it was lovely to have the luxury of three weeks so that we could just spend days by the pool.  The tele's in the 2nd and 3rd bedroom were a great boon when we all wanted to watch different things during the rainstorms! 
Thanks again for providing such a lovely, clean and well equipped villa.
Tracey

Dear Liz,
We had a wonderful time in your house.  It was so
comfortable.  The fellow from the management company
(I forgot his name) was very nice. We will contact you
again for our next trip.  Thanks for everything.
