We have had a fabulous time in your beautiful Villa. Many thanks. The Leach Family. London.

Oct 2005. I enjoyed my stay in this Villa because I stayed in the best Villa in the whole World. It’s nice and big and not long from the Adventure Parks. I stayed in the bunk bed and made it into a den for me and all my teddies I bought from Busch Gardens. The pool is the best. I hardly ever got out of it, and I enjoyed trying to stay on our lilo and playing with the ball.

I also enjoyed my stay here at Villa Carmen. It’s a lovely relaxing home. After fun, but hard days out at the different Theme Parks it was brilliant to be able to jump into the pool. I also enjoyed going shopping at all the huge outlets and buying all the shoes possible! Thank you mummy and Kevin. Can’t wait to come back!

Hello from the Smith and Thwaites family from Cambridgeshire in England. On arrival after a very long flight we were taken aback by the excellent décor and settings for our first (not last) holiday in Florida. The villa was immaculate and everything we could have wished for. It made for a most relaxing holiday, and you always looked forward to returning to it after each tiring day at the Theme Parks. Thanks Fiona and Kevin….it was everything you said it was and some more..!!

Really liked swimming in the pool every time they woke me up.

We enjoyed our 6 weeks in sunny Florida arriving from the cold and snow. The Villa Carmen is everything you could ask for and more. Our Grand-daughter loved the pool and the bunk beds were the best! Thank you.

This Villa is really special, we had a great time here. We swam every day and loved coming back at the end of every day to Villa Carmen. The location and surroundings are just superb. Thank you so much for a great Villa. We will definitely be back.

We have had a fantastic month in our “home from home”. After a mad day at the Parks it has been bliss to come back to Villa Carmen and relax and unwind. Don’t really want to leave, but I guess we’ll have to. Thanks to Kevin and Fiona for being so attentive and to our Management Company for being so welcoming and helpful. We’ll definitely be back.

Only seven nights sadly, but the most wonderful way to see Florida, and stay in 5 star comfort. Had a fabulous time, to say the least. I shall definitely recommend this to anyone venturing to this area of the USA!! A special thanks to Fi and Kevin for making this holiday stand out! Will be back for certain, hopefully one day soon.
Richard (aka Zim) Bracknell, Berks
What a wonderful time. A real home away from home. Only been here for one week, but what a fab time. Kevin and Fi, thanks to you both. A memory that I shall treasure forever. Thank you both
Paul West Thorpe, Surrey
What more can be said? It was more like walking into a home, than a rental Villa. Facilities are excellent and what a wonderful location. Nights by the pool with a “Barbie” and beer. I thought I had gone to heaven!! And the TV was so big…better to watch my ice hockey on! Thank you for a wonderful stay and I can’t praise the villa enough.
Mike Jones Chertsey, Surrey.
What a beautiful place to stay. It was truly a home from home and I wish I had more time to stay and explore this great Country. Thank you for a wonderful time and for “sharing” your home with us. We will certainly be back.

This is our fifth visit to Florida and The Villa Carmen is by far, the best villa we have stayed in to date. Tastefully decorated, ideal location and with everything we could possibly need. A bonus was being able to eat outside in the shaded poolside area whilst watching the golfers. A fantastic, and much needed holiday was enjoyed by all of us. Thank you Kevin & Fiona.

Everything has been perfect, the villa and location is all better than we ever imagined. It was our first visit, but hopefully not our last. We have lots of memories to take home with us. Thank you.

We have had a fantastic holiday in Orlando. The Villa made it all the more special, with the pool being a favourite of everyone. It is also our first visit, and hopefully not our last. Thank you.

Dear Kevin and Fiona. Well here we are on our last day. It always seems to take an age for a holiday to come around, and then when it does, in a blink of an eye, it is over. Both myself and Cherie thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for providing such a fantastic base, for what has been a most wonderful two weeks. You have provided everything, and we have wanted for nothing. Elizabeth thanks you for the swimming pool which she has used every day. With kindest regards and warm wishes to you both.
Michael, Cherie & Elizabeth Worsfold.
Dear Kevin and Fiona. What can we say about this absolutely wonderful holiday. It truly exceeded all our expectations. Everything was TOP CLASS. It was a fantastic experience to wake up every morning to yet another, “Ground Hog Day”…the sun shining, the pool warm and inviting, the views across the pines – stunning, and nothing changing. Everything exactly as it should be – just magnificent. Like you, we are sad to leave this fabulous place but this time spent together with both of you and our darling girls will remain one of our HAPPIEST memories. All our love. Muchi & Ba Ba. Xxx Tom and Jen (Fi’s parents..!!). To Mummy and Kevin. Thank you for our beautiful Villa. I love to come for holidays. When I walked in, I just smelt “the Villa Smell” (that I love) and ran to my room I was so happy. The night we got here we jumped in the pool. I love that too…I did not get out of the pool for the whole holiday. I don’t want to leave but I have to. Love Nenna.xx
Jen (aged 11).
This has been a wicked holiday. I can easily say we have all relaxed to the best of our ability and where better to do so than Villa Carmen? Thank you very much for letting us spend most days lazing by the pool and the others shopping..!! I have enjoyed every second of this beautiful home in the sun! Kisses.

Will recommend your villa to friends as it’s definitely one of the nicest I’ve stayed in, in the 7 years I have visited Florida. Thanks again Kevin & Fiona.

We had a wonderful time here at Villa Carmen. The pool was wonderful and so was the view of the 10th hole on the golf course. The beds were comfortable. It was a great stay. Thank you. Justine. (age 9)

We had a wonderful stay at your beautiful Villa. It really felt like home from home. Our holiday was made all the better by returning in the evening to relax with a drink by the pool after a hard day’s work at the Parks. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay and we will look forward to coming back as soon as we can.

Dear Kevin & Fiona. Our first trip to Florida and we were thoroughly impressed with both your beautiful Villa and also the surroundings. This is the perfect base in which to enjoy this amazing State. Much of our time has been spent searching for our own Villa and we are delighted to have secured a home for our future use as we continue to enjoy family holidays here in the USA. Unsurprisingly we have also purchased our home here in Highlands Reserve. Thank you once again, and to all those people who work so hard to make our stay enjoyable.

We really, really enjoyed our stay at Villa Carmen, and having visited last year, I knew what there was to look forward to. You are very fortunate that we didn’t decide to squat! Villa Carmen is a real credit to you guys, it really shows how much care and love you have all put into it and it has truly paid off. We have loved our visit so much that we are already planning our next visit. Hopefully that will mean that I will be signing your book again, maybe next year. Once again, for a superb visit, and a superb Villa that really makes it home from home….Florida style..!!
All our love from the Jones Family
