Claire, Ian and George We loved our time in Florida and enjoyed your home. Thank you for sharing it. We loved the freedom of our own pool, and the house had everything that we needed. Really liked the area and found it very convenient for the motorways. Hopefully, we will be back one day.
A big thank you to Ian and Claire for the use of their wonderful home. From the moment that we enquired, all of our questions were promptly answered, and when we finally arrived at Highlands Reserve, the local management company made us feel most welcome - nothing was too much trouble.The property is superb and far better than we ever expected. The main master suite is spectacular, and the layout of the rest of the home was perfect for us and our four children (two being very discerning teenagers) - the pool and tub being a firm favourite. The home is located near the golf course club house, and was perfectly situated for us to access Disney, Universal, Sea World and Busch Gardens. The walks around the Golf community on an evening were sheer bliss. Berry Town Centre is a bonus just a short walk away, with restaurants, a bar and a Publix supermarket. It goes without saying that we all had a fantastic time, and would not hesitate to recommend a stay to anyone else. We will be back.
Dear Ian + Claire, Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We had an amazing time exploring everywhere from such a central location. Everything in the home was wonderful – so nice each day to come back exhausted (and very hot!) to a welcoming home environment.
Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed every minute. The pool and jacuzzi were the perfect end to a hectic day in the parks. Once again, thank you for the best stay.
We made a late decision to enquire about and then rent your villa, but as far as late decisions go, we definitely made a fantastic choice. Even though very last minute, your telephone call, and detailed e-mails meant all ran very smoothly. We have stayed in a number of villas over the years, but never before have we said that we would like to return again. That is not now the case, having stayed in your wonderful home. Highlands Reserve is a hidden gem we had not previously known about, and your villa left us wanting for nothing. Would certainly recommend to others and will be feeling very jealous now here back in our ‘normal’ size home in Doncaster (UK)
Ian + Claire, May we take this opportunity to thank you for the use of your lovely home. We enjoyed a wonderful 3 weeks. Our twin grandchildren have most certainly developed webbed feet from their daily swimming sessions! The next time we are in Orlando, we would most certainly seek to use your home again. Once again, many thanks. Andrew, Fiona, Rebecca and the twins Tomos and Mali.
Thank you so much for letting us share your beautiful home! We absolutely loved the time there, and will hopefully be able to stay again in the future. Angela, Cheryl and Family.
Ian + Claire, Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful Villa. The first part of our holiday was spent at Disney, so the Villa was a perfect way for us to relax with all the home comforts that a villa provides. We have been fortunate to holiday in Florida on a number of previous occasions. We have to say that the entire booking process and information pre departure was brilliant. After a gap of two and a half years due to Covid, we had an amazing holiday, with a heart full of happy memories, and hope to be back very soon. Thank you again, Mark, Kirstine and Thomas.
We always book our villa privately, as we like to see what we are getting. Our initial enquiry to Ian left us confident that the home would be special, and we were not disappointed! The villa is the largest and most comfortable that we have ever stayed at. The décor and layout is superb, with a real warm home from home feel. The location is perfect, and the surroundings are so beautiful, with Disney only 10 - 15 minutes away. We had a lovely time, and all agreed that we would not hesitate in recommending to others. Thanks again for all of your advice and help. Rob and Helen.
Thank you Ian and Claire for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had an absolute blast at the parks, but found having somewhere so nice to return to every day was amazing. The home itself is huge, and we all loved the pool, spa and games room. We had never been to Highlands Reserve before, and are now so glad that we have discovered such a lovely community. The walks around the area are something that we particularly like. There are benches dotted around where you can watch the sunset over the golf course. Only one word describes this – “spectacular!” We intend to return in 2021, and have already contacted Ian + Claire with regard to availability. Once again a big thank you. Cheryl, Mike, Alisha, and Joanne.
August 2018. This was our second trip to Ian and Claire’s villa, our first being in May 2016. As regulars to Florida, we can honestly say that this is the best home that we have ever stayed in. Fantastic layout – we particularly love the main master suite that has it’s own TV sitting room. The pool and games room are also fantastic, and the lounges and other bedrooms are just perfect for us to spread out – our two teenagers like the idea of being able to be so far away as to not have to talk to us - we have to say that this occasionally suits us too, however, the main central lounge is a wonderful family area for when we do get on! The area is so peaceful and relaxing, and the golf course walks at sunset are just bliss. We have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. Thanks again. Joanna, Joseph, Stacey and Jo.
For our first holiday to Orlando in July 2018, our friends recommended Ian and Claire’s home, as they had a fantastic experience on their first trip in 2017. We are so glad that we followed their recommendation, and our expectations were much more than met. This villa is huge – especially the main master bedroom and pool. It is located on a wonderful golf course development, within easy reach of all the attractions and shopping that we were told that we must visit on our first trip. The décor is immaculate – someone has great taste! The home was superbly clean when we arrived, and the air was lovely and cool, which was a real blessing, as the temperature and weather during our trip was exceptionally hot. The pool, spa and massive games room were a big hit with the kids. Even though the weather was boiling, we found the pool a little cold, and so had the pool heat switched on for the second day, which then made it most comfortable – especially the spa, which reaches a much higher temperature than the pool when heated. The games room got a little too competitive for the adults! The booking process was very efficient. Ian and Claire answered any questions that we had almost immediately, and were able to offer fantastic advice, which turned out to be invaluable. We will be returning to Florida in 2020, and Ian and Claire will be the first people that we contact to ensure that we are able to reserve their house before we book anything else.
Just wanted to thank you for an superb holiday. The two weeks were so amazing as we spent most of the time at Universal. The pool was fantastic. Our daughter spent most of the time jumping in with her dad! She absolutely loved having her own fantastic room and bathroom to enjoy. The kids were also super happy when we discovered that we could get a Dominos delivered to the villa! Thanks again for the wonderful time – we did not want to leave!
Once again, a big thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We surprised the kids with this trip at Christmas, and they were thrilled that we were returning to your house. It is like a home away from home. We had a wonderful two weeks in the parks, in the pool, and the boys spent most of the time playing pool, which got competitive by the end of the holiday. All in all it’s been a great start to the New Year. Thanks again and best wishes.
June 2017 - This was our first Orlando experience. Ourselves (adult teenagers) and our two children (real teenagers) had an unbelievable time, but the icing on the cake was staying at this gorgeous home. As newcomers, we were initially daunted by the whole process, especially with regard to booking a private home, but Ian and Claire soon put our minds at rest. The handling of our booking was excellent from start to finish, and their knowledge and advice turned out to be invaluable. The villa was spotless and the attention to detail and quality of everything far exceeded our expectations. We all thoroughly enjoyed the pool and games room, and we personally found it highly amusing that our bedroom suite was actually larger than our first house! All in all a truly memorable experience that we would recommend to anyone. Our only regret is that we had to come home - we have all never had that feeling on holiday before. We simply cannot wait to return, and will be in touch once we know our dates for next year. Thanks again. Robert, Andrea, Robbie and Andrew.
22nd April - 6th May 2017. We stayed at Claire and Ian's home two years ago, and did not wish to go back to anywhere else on our next visit! After experiencing many Florida homes, we can honestly say that this property is fantastic, and the pictures really do not do it justice. This stay was even better than last time. The home is superbly furnished and maintained by the most friendly management company that we have ever come across. Highlands Reserve is a beautiful golf community with a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere, where you can actually walk around without the feeling that you are wandering around another housing estate. The location is perfect, and central to all the parks, with Disney being the nearest only a ten minute drive away. There is a bar, a Publix supermarket, and several restaurants all within walking distance. The pool area is superb - especially the hot tub, and the games room is enormous - double the size of any that we have seen before. Thanks Ian and Claire once again, we will be in touch soon. Jeff, Mandy, and three very "down in the dumps" children!
12th – 26th June 2016 Wow! What a fabulous Villa you have. It was everything you promised it would be and more! The kids loved the pool and we loved the close proximity to everything. It was so easy to get to everywhere with this as our base. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful holiday home. We will treasure the memories we made here for a lifetime. Can’t promise that this will be our only visit, the conversations have already begun about a possible return next year. I can’t imagine us staying anywhere other that here. With love, Paula, Brian, Chelsea, Natasha and Ashleigh. Falkirk. Scotland.
