| A great holiday made possible because of the excellent villa with a refreshing pool and an excellent standard of accommodation and fittings. The location, quite close to the coast was perfect for us. We were able to reach the theme parks in less than 90 mins, and did so when the urge took us. Thanks |

| Our family reunion spent at the Villa was perfect in every way. This lovely home surpassed our expectations. There was plenty of room for all and yet areas for privacy as well. The pool area was our favorit gathering place. Your website was very accurate. Thank you Carl & Dora. We hope to come again next year. |

Carl & Dora,
We wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had at your beautiful villa in Spring Hill, FL. The home and grounds were exactly as depicted in your photos and description, and better! It was so nice to have a well-equipped home with our own pool all to ourselves. We can't wait to come back again! |

| We stayed at Carl and Dora's villa in 2006, and again for the month of March 2008. The villa is very comfortable and has everything you need for a great vacation. It is very roomy, and the master bedroom location is very private. We enjoyed the pool, and the screened in patio, a wonderful place to sit with your morning coffee and newspaper! We have reserved Carl's villa again for 2009. A most enjoyable way to spend a winter vacation. |

| A very good vacation, the villa was perfect for my family who loves to swim morning, noon and night. Clearwater beach is highly recommended as I have never been in water so warm and sand so soft. Thanks for the memories!! |

We visited in Feb/Mar. 2007 and had a great time. After some minor problems with no pool heat we thoroghly enjoyed the pool. The weather cooperated for several outings and golf. We left some info on good deals nearby.
Hope we could return next year, but see you already have these dates rented.
Hope to see you in Scotland during our visit this Sept. |

We had a perfect holiday between 21/10 and 28/10. The accomodation is of a very high standard, with all modern conveniences and very clean.
The bedrooms are very well furnished (the bed is a joy to sleep in).
The location is great, its very quiet, but close to SR 50 and SR 19 to get up/down/across to everywhere.
I would recommend this house 100%.
Whilst you are there, visit manatee boat rentals in Homosassa, to rent a self drive pontoon boat, the best day out ever.
Carl - You have a great house, it was a privilege to stay in it. We will be back.

| Thank you so much for the use of your holiday home in Spring Hill. We have spent our holidays in this area for several years now and enjoy the area very much. Your home is very comfortable and has everything that anyone could need. The weather this year was absolutely beautiful and all the meals we had at the villa were eaten outside by the pool which was well used, as was the B.B.Q. We will be back. Thank you once again. |

| Carl & Dora were wonderful to work with in planning our family reunion-they were quick to get back to us on all sorts of inquiries. Their home was clean,comfortable & had all the comforts of home ....making it easy to feel quite comfortable. After an exhausting day in the pool, which provided hours of entertainment for our little ones, the cozy beds were much appreciated by everyone to rest up for another day. We would definitely use their property again. Thank you for the hospitality!!) |

This residence is a lovely Florida home with comfortable beds! The three cable connected TVs can keep you busy if, for some reason, you choose not to sit at the slendid pool and read or go to the nearby beach. The pool is in sun almost all day and stayed warm, unheated, when the temperature was an average of 80 degrees by day, making it great for swimming for hours. There is an large table and chairs and the extra, heavy duty plastic dish set which allows you to have dinner outside. Ample shopping for all your needs is close and once settled you can either kick back and simply enjoy this home away from home or go to one of the many local attraction.

| What a find this house was for our family !! Plenty of room for our busy 2 year old to keep us on our toes. The heated pool was our twice daily dose of family fun. We were able to relax & enjoy ourselves immensely !! Plenty of shops nearby if we needed anything at all. We would highly recommend the mermaid show at Weeki Wachi and also the beach area at Pine Island. |

| I would highly recommend renting this beautiful home in Spring Hill. As advertised, it was spacious, fully equipped, tastefully decorated and kid friendly. Carl was especially accomodating, providing us with 2 play pens and a high chair for our 7 month old and 2 year old. The pool area was child proofed which was reassuring, and the pool itself was nice and warm. Shopping was easily in walking distance, and the beach was only a short drive. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to all. |

Our time at the villa was from 12/23/05 thru 12/29/05
Thanks Carl and Dora for the use of your lovely home! This was our first time having Christmas in the South! We walked into your beautiful home and got a glimpse of the Christmas tree you had left for us on the counter along with a nice Christmas card addressed to us! Arriving so late that evening after a very long drive, we were pleasantly surprised to find a refrigerator filled with the essentials that we would need when we woke up the next day. This was a very nice touch and helped us to start our holiday the next morning together without the need to run around and get coffee, tea, bread, milk, cereal, eggs, butter, juice etc. A very nice touch indeed!
Your place was fantastic! A very comfortable place to go on holiday! I recommend it highly to anyone who is looking for a comfortable clean and inviting home to relax and have fun in! From the nice screened in pool to the VERY comfortable master bed; this place was just fantastic! The location was perfect as well. Easy to get to shopping malls and stores and very close to Homosassa State Park and Tarpon Springs, two places we thoroughly enjoyed visiting! We will be back again very soon!

| We spent 5 days in the Villa 7-28 to 8-1, 5 adults, a 15 year old and a 7 month old. It was as advertised, spacious and fully equipped. We chose the location because it was close to a relative we all came down to see. The pool was great; we used it every morning. The owners are very easy to deal with also. Highly recommended ans a great alternative to multiple hotel rooms for family groups. Will rent it again. |

We live close by in Tampa, but gathered in Spring Hill with family from Birmingham, AL and Charlotte, NC for the week of July 16-23, 2005.
The house was everyhing described and more--spacious and well equipped. We especially enjopyed the pool and were pleased and surprised with the abundance of pool toys and even beach towels provided.
Shopping and resturants were close by, however we hardly left the house. We had everything we needed to cook with just one trip to the grocery store.
This will always be remembered by our family as a special vacation because we got the news that our first grandchild is on the way.
Thanks to Carl and Dora for sharing your lovely home with us.

| We had an absolutely wonderful time at the villa, it is close to my mothers house in Hudson, so it was very convenient to visit her. The pool was gorgeous and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The neighborhood was very quiet and well kept, but if we needed anything from a store it was very close. I would recommend this villa to anyone. We had 3 adults and 5 children and we did not feel cramped one bit. I would give this house a 5 star rating |

| Thanks for everything, the house was wonderful. The children absolutely loved the pool. Never having been to the gulf side of Florida we didn't no how well the house would be located. It was in a great central location. We took several trips to Clearwater beach, Tampa, and a day trip to Universal Studios. I would definitely recommend to others and would happily stay there again. Thanks again for helping us have a very enjoyable vacation. Dean and Kathy Crum |

| What a nice home away from home. Our family of six adults and one toddler found the villa clean and comfortable. We toured the area and went to Disney for a day trip. The weather was perfect and the heated pool was very inviting after a day away enjoying the sights and sounds of Florida. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone who is considering renting. This was our family's first family vacation as three separate families and we had a wonderful time. Thanks. |

We will definately recommend it to family and friends! |

Our stay was very enjoyable. Your villa was comfortable and handy to everything. The heated pool was most welcomed as we watched news stories of the worst snow storm in New England since the Blizzard of '78. I would recommend your villa to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable vacation home. 5 STARS

| The villa is beautiful and in a very convenient location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the homes' intelligent design and tasteful decor. The hardest part was having to return to our home in Connecticut and the winter weather. We will have fond memories for years to come and plan to return. Thank you Carl and Dora for renting to us. |

| The house was beautiful. The beds and the other furnishings were very comfortable, unlike most hotels. Our stay was in Novemeber so we heated the pool and it was very warm and relaxing. We have family in Spring Hill so we will have to come back on our next visit. Everyone we dealt with was very pleasant and the deposit was sent back promptly. |

| Our stay at the villa in October '04 was fantastic. We were two families of 4 and the four children had a great time in the fabulous pool. The standard of the villa is superb and the interior is very tastefully decorated. Everything for a stay away from home has been thought of to the last detail. I would certainly recommend this villa for a relaxing holiday in fantastic weather. Congratulations Carl & Dora for owning such a wonderful holiday home! |
