Hello Liz, we received the deposit refund yesterday, thank you very much.
We left a note in the comments book but wanted to thank you for such a great place to stay on our vacation. The house was exactly as advertised, clean, bright and fully equiped.
We all had a terrific time on our holiday and would recommend your house to our friends.
Again thank you,
Jamie

Dear Liz,
We just wanted to write and say what a lovely holiday we have just had at your villa in Orlando. We went to every park possible and thought the location of the villa was superb.
The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves and especially liked the pool. We found the villa very clean and comfortable and your management people were very friendly and helpful.
 Thank you for helping us give the boys a holiday to remember and we hope some day we can go back. We will be very happy to recommend your villa to our friends and family.
Regards
Karin Harris

Hi Steve,
 
We have received your cheque with thanks, we had a very enjoyable holiday at your property and hope to return again in 2012, many thanks for your help and assistance.

Hi Liz,

Your note arrived safe and sound. Thanks so much.

We are near booking another place which is a 4 bedroom(family is catching on as to how nice a visit it is) and closer to the baseball. I am sure that you know how much we enjoyed Jamaica Lane and one never knows what the future might hold.

For what it is worth, there have been more than just a few conversations in regards to how enjoyable our 2 years at
 your place were. We have certainly encouraged others to consider trying to stay at 1 of your 4 locations.

Remember also how you "helped" us thru our "virgin" 1 month bookings, 2 years ago now and how patient you were with us. It was very much appreciated!

Thanks so much Liz!

Hi Steve,
We had a smashing time as usual in Florida.
The villa was in a good location, was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed.
I think it had the best outside space of any villa we have rented before.

Thanks
John

Hi there Liz......just getting over the flight back from Lakeside Retreat on Wednesday......but already thinking about next year.....

We had a fabulous 3 weeks, just love your home, we can't find fault, so comfortable and the location can't be better.

We would like to book......3 weeks + 2 days.....Tuesday May 3rd--------Thursday May 26th 2011, we would not require the pool heat as it is in the getting warmer time of year.

once again...thank you very much for the lovely holiday

Regards  Trish Deboer

Dear Steve

We had a fantastic time in Florida, thank you.  The kids loved the pool and the TV's in their bedrooms.  I can't believe that we will be having snow here soon

Many thanks

Hi, Liz,

It's long past due for me to let you know how special it was to be in your home.  There was so much "wing space" for everyone to be comfortable and feel at home that we didn't even mind that it rained one day.  We were able to use our laptop computers because you were so thoughtful to think of every little thing.

My husband and I had a little time by ourselves after everyone left and we leisurely did some cleaning and relaxing.  We even had a chance to do a couple loads of wash to jump-start the cleaning team.  We hope we left everything as was expected because we certainly felt at home there. 

What a wonderful service you have done for those who get the chance to use your villas.  Thank you so much for the opportunity to be in the Sunshine Villas.  You chose just the right name for them.

Gratefully,
Marge and Bill Allen

Hi Liz,

We returned from our stay at your wonderful home on February 20, 2010.  The weather was a bit cold, but we had fun anyway.  I was wondering if you have mailed the security deposit, as we are thinking about a return visit for 2011.   
Thank you again,
Lisa Chrysler

Dear Ms. Lee,

The good time is passing really fast and now we are almost done with our vacation.
Tomorrow morning we are leaving and I would like to express our satisfaction
after staying in your villa. We liked it very much, no matter that the weather
was not appropriate to use the pool, we are leaving happy and would like to
thank you once again for creating our vacation experience.

Best Regards,

Chris Boguslawski

Hi Steve,

We had an absolutely fantastic time thank you, back to the office today and reality!!!!

Kindest regards

Hi Liz......actually its a comment rather than an enquiry.....Trish here, just returned from Jamaica lane yesterday.  We had a wonderful time, made all the better by our stay at your great villa.  Couldn't fault anything.  We were sooooo comfortable and felt right at home from day one.  The kitchen was particularly well stocked, far more items than usual.  Having 2 lounge areas was a god send, as my husband and I have differing tastes in TV, we utilized both areas regularly. The neighbourhood was very friendly and quiet, much nicer to stay where many of the residents are permanent, and we loved sitting under the lanai watching the ducks and wild-life on the pond.  Very pleased with the whole pool area, the water was lovely and warm, which made my husband very happy.  Lynne and Gerry are both superb, such a friendly couple. luckily, we did not have any problems during our stay, but enjoyed chatting with them when they came to check the pool.

Can't thank you enough for the use of Lakeside retreat, we loved every minute.  We are thinking about returning next spring, after Easter.  I see you still have availability.  Will be in touch in the near future.  Best wishes.....Trish and Theo DeBoer

Liz,

Hi.

Received the security deposit this morning. Many thanks.

We all had a wonderful time and your villa was superb.

We had been staying at the other end of the 192 (around the 27) in recent years and we had forgotten how central Montego Bay was. This made it easier and quicker to get around

Many Thanks
Alan

Dear Liz
Thanks for the cheque returning the £200 security deposit.
We really enjoyed the stay and will ensure we tell friends and relatives about your web site.
Many thanks
Annette

Liz,
            Thank you for the refund.
            We really enjoyed your house.
            Regards,
            Laurent

Hi Liz,
Thanks for the prompt return of my deposit. My family really enjoyed our holiday at Lakeside Retreat and we hope to return again, if not next year then 2010.

Once again thanks for all your assistance and we look forward to returning to Lakeside retreat or one of your other properties in the future.
Paul.

Hi Liz
           firstly  thanks for the deposit back, and secondly what a great time we had. The villa was excellent in a great location near to everything but  also nice and quiet in which to unwind after all the parks.
Once again thankyou and hope to speak to you in the future.

Regards
Edward Lee

Hi Liz,
 
Thanks for a wonderful stay in your lovely villa. We both had a really fantastic time and I got my pilots license, partly, I'm sure, down to the relaxation at Lakeside Retreat.
 
Really was a great fun 10 days.
 
Just wondered if you had managed to send me the cheque yet for the deposit?

Kind regards,
 
Sam Martin

Hi Liz and Steve, I arrived back from the lakeside retreat yesterday. Back to the rain!! I would like to inform you of how fantastic Sunray were. They were brilliant and so friendly. Due to how good they were I would definitely rent one of your villas again and even consider moving to Florida! I await return of my security deposit (Need it to cover the shopping bills)! Many thanks Rachel

Dear Liz,

Thank you very much for  the all the arrangements. We had a wonderful time at the villa. I wish , our holidays were longer. We are also wishing that we could do this all over again.
We received our security deposit too.

Thanks again for everything.
Best Regards,
Manjula.

Liz, we loved the house!!!

It was so peaceful not to be in a hotel! I am hoping
we can use one of your homes again in the future,
Jamaica Lane was beautiful!!!! Thank you for
everything, you are very kind.

Sheila Templeman

Hi Liz
Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time in Orlando.  The villa was absolutely fantastic!!  (couldn't fault anything)  Thank you

From Pat, Brian & Stephanie Johnson

Dear Liz

Thank you for an amazing holiday. Every element exceeded all of our
expectations, and the villa was no exception. I will certainly be recommending
your villas to friends. We hope that we left lakeside retreat in suitable order,
my husband spent ages scrubbing the bbq (which we very much enjoyed!) Whilst
there we bought 4 plastic wine glasses (2 pink and 2 blue) which we decided to
leave for future guests so hopefully they will get much further use around the
pool.

Many, many thanks, we look forward to booking with you in the not to distant
future.

Sarah Paget

Good Morning Liz,
I printed off the directions and will be seeing Gina tomorrow.  They are so excited about going. 
 I have another friend here at work that will be e-mailing you (may already have) about renting one of your homes for April.  I was so impressed with the home when we were there last year (I took a video of how nice it was) so as soon as someone is interested I show them the video and they have all loved it immediately.  It also helps that you are so easy to deal with.  Thanks again for the great experience, my kids still talk about it.
Denise

Hi There Liz and Steve,
 
    I am just writing to let you know that we had a wonderful time in your villa.  Callum loved the pool so much, that we almost had to pull him out using the net!
Despite the attention of "Charlie", we still enjoyed our stay there,
and the videos and Playstation were a godsend in the absence of
the television.  We were assured that this was not a fault at the
villa, but spread throughout the area.  The Flinstones was a
particular favourite, and I am surprised that the tape wasn't worn out.
The only dissapoinment of the fortnight was that the
ever present thunderstorms meant we never got the chance to try out the barbie (ah well maybe next time). It was very relaxing, coming "home" to the villa each night, just right for what we needed.
 
    I would like to say a very big thank you, and to let you know that we will be keeping you on our "favourites" for the next time we visit.
 
Ian, Ann & Callum Baurley.
 
    ps. Having met you, we now know how hard you work to keep your villa up to scratch

Dear Liz
sorry for late reply, but we had a great time in your villa which we loved. We all jumped in the pool and the kids enjoyed chilling with the play station at the end of the day.
The only possible improvement would be another tray to carry food out to the patio, buts its a minor point and only because you asked. We loved the bits and pieces which made us feel at home.
thanks again
Helen

Hi Liz,

Well we just returned from our vacation in Florida and
wow the house was wonderful.  We really enjoyed
everything. The pool was great and the boys really
enjoyed the movies and games.  I sure hope that we can
return in the future to enjoy it even more.  We really
felt at home.  Thank you again.  I am going to keep
your number and your email, so if you change it in the
future please let me know. 

Thanks again,

Denise, John, Robert and James Frazier
Mae Payton, Dana, jesse, and Travis Burdick.

Good Morning Liz,
I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed the villa.  I have to say, I was a bit nervous having booked a cottage over the internet a few years ago - not a good experience at all.  But, your villa was just beautiful and very well kept.  I work in a large company and many people have been asking me how it was (which I did take a lot of pictures and videos).  A few are talking about planning trips to Florida for next year and may be contacting you.  I am also hoping to get back soon and will definately be booking with you again.
Thank you again,
Denise

Liz,

We just returned from Orlando.  We all had a great time.  And your home suited our needs perfectly.  We liked the layout, pool, BBQ, patio, decorations, amenities, convenience to shopping and attractions, and quiet location.  It was great!
Thanks for working with us to complete all of the arrangements.  I believe we left everything in great shape. 
Thanks again.

Bill and Konnie Sandras

Dear Liz,

Just a note to say thanks for returning the security deposit.

Your villa is great and we had a smashing holiday in Kissimmee.  Having the villa and especially the pool to come home to at the end of an enjoyable but tiring day was a bonus.  Sometimes our children wanted to leave the parks early to come back to the pool!

We visited the Outback Ranch as recommended by you and would certainly recommend it ourselves.

We tried to do as many things as we could.  We swam with the dolphins at Discovery Cove.  It is not a cheap day out but is well worth the money.

The villa exceeded our expectations and we have already recommended your website to some friends who are interested in going to Florida next year.

Thanks once again.

Sara and Phil Richardson
and family.

Thank you for all of your help and kindness.  We had a fabulous time and will remember your villas when we finally can travel again with the new baby! 

Sincerely,

Anna Epperly 

Many thanks, and Yes, we did have a great time.

The Villa was brilliant, just like being 'home from home'.

The kids loved it and we even had to forego a trip to Universal to have a
day around 'the pool'.

We'll be saving hard to return again we hope one day, so please keep us on
your mailing list.

Kind regards,
Dave & Sally Probert
