MASSIVE thank you
Hi Kevin & Brenda,
We just want to say a MASSIVE thank you for letting us rent your lovely home in Davenport. It really was the "home from home" feeling and some!!
The pool was a welcome break after a long day of shopping and parks. To come back and just flop into the sun loungers with a glass of wine was the best feeling!
Everything was in order at the villa and had no complaints about anything. The neighbourhood is quiet and is a mix of holiday villas and local residents.
On a personal note - Your response to email and phonecalls is excellent. It's nice knowing that you get back to us with any questions that we need answering so promptly.
Having travelled to Florida a number of times and stayed in different villas, we would have no hesitation in recomending this to others and coming back ourselves in the future. In fact - We have just recomended your villa to some friends.
The only regret is that we missed Shuttle Launch due to them cancelling it!!
Thank you again - The Browns. Clayton, Pippa & Heather
Date of stay: April 2011

Will always use this villa in future
We have just returned from a 2 week stay in Florida at Kevin's villa.
The first thing I have to say about the villa is that, although there are a good number of quality pictures on the website, they do not do the villa justice: The rooms are bigger than they look on the website.
The main living area is decorated in light colours and is nice and airy. There is an incredibly comfortable 3 seater and 2 seater that you sink into and do not want to get up from. There's a handy coffee table in front of the seats so you can enjoy a couple of slices of pizza and a beer while sitting down to watch a bit of up-to-date Judge Judy in the Tv which has full cable. There's also a boogie box next to the TV which will stretch to the sliding door to the pool so you can have music while in or at the poolside.
There's a little breakfast bar with stools that joins the living room to the kitchen and my 14 yr old son loved sitting there every morning to his eggs and Oscar Meyer bacon which I cooked up on the electric cooker. Full pots/pans/crockery/cutlery/utensils are in the kitchen as is the fantastic dishwasher to clean them in (2 weeks of no washing dishes, yahoo!) There's a nice little 4 seater dining table in the kitchen where you can enjoy a home-cooked or delivered meal if you prefer to be away from the TV while eating.
The kitchen has a door to the massive garage where you'll find a big American waching machine and a separate dryer. Also an iron and ironing board in the garage.
The main bedroom has a superkingsize bed, a TV hooked up with full cable, a chest of drawers, a walk in wardrobe and en-suite with a shower big enough for 2. There is a sliding door here that allows access to the pool area.
There are 2 other bedrooms in the villa, one with a double bed, chest of drawers, radio and an alarm clock. The other room has 2 single beds and a playstation 2. Both of these rooms have a bathroom between them.
The pool at the villa is not huge, but it's perfect for diving into first thing in the morning to stretch out those muscles before the day's events begin, or to slide into after an exhausting day at the theme parks. We were there 2nd and 3rd week in September and didn't need the pool heating - the temperature in the pool was perfect. There is a table with chairs, a couple of loungers, and lots of pool inflatables and toys at the villa (we left a couple of rubber rings, an inflatable chair and a big beach ball) so you don't need to bring any with you. If you want to buy some more pool toys, there's a Publix supermarket less than 2 miles along the road.
Shopping and dining at Applebees or the local takeaways are less than a 5 min drive away, and the location of the villa is perfect for everywhere. Getting to Disney/Universal/Tampa is very easy - 5 mins from I4.
The villa is in a very quiet gated community. At the weekends we heard and saw a few young kids playing out but during the week it was very quiet. There's a clubhouse with a larger pool if you want some exercise and there's a small gym with some excellent bits of fitness equipment.
In conclusion: The low rental price of this villa may make you think that it's sub-standard, but you'd be wrong. 4 of our friends had a different villa during our stay, and we visited them. Their villa was almost identical to ours but they paid almost double what we did. I highly reccommend Kevin's villa, but please don't even think about going in September because we want to go every year!
Kevin is quick to answer any questions on the phone or by email, and he will email you some great tips and info.
if you need any more info about how we got around and what we would have done differently (if anything) or if you're a first timer and want any tips, email me and i'll give you more details of how our trip went :)
Date of stay: September 2010
