Hi Gaye & Paul
A big thank you for allowing us the relaxation and privacy of the Hummingbirds. We had a marvellous time. The pass for Honeymoon was a big plus and we appreciated the wine. Sorry we left the red but we ran out of drinking and eating time!! The garden revamp looks most attractive and I enjoyed the pool. Back to sweeping up the leaves in the UK!
Plan is a return visit towards end of April.
Warmest wishes

maybe

Dear Paul and Gayle,
We really enjoyed your wonderful home for our vacation. It was very convenient for all our needs. We reccommend Caledesi / Honeymoon Island for beaching. The ferry costs $10.00 per person, and it runs every hour on the half hour. You can rent lawn chairs with umbrella for $10.00 for the whole day. Restaurant with good, inexpensive food on site. The Moccasin Lake Nature Park, 2750 Park Trail Lane, in Clearwater, is also worth the trip. $3.00 for adults. $2.00 for children 3-12 years and free for under 3 years. Tues. through Fri 9am-5pm Sat. 10am-5pm closed Sunday, Monday and all city recognized holidays. Very educational and relaxing for the whole family. Palm Harbor is a nice walk from the Hummingbirds also. Thank you, Nancy and Dayton Hausman

Dear Gaye / Paul,
Well we arrived back home safe and sound. I just wanted to say that we had a fantastic holiday in Florida and loved staying in the Hummingbirds. It was a great house and lived up to our expectations and the information and pictures on the website.
We would definitely recommend it to friends!
I hope that you found the house with everything left as should be.
Regards

I just wanted to let you know we enjoyed staying at the Hummingbird rental this past week. The home was lovely and in a perfect location for our needs. I will recommend this property to others in our family that may be making travel plans. I hope to rent from you again in the future.
Thank you.

My sister and I had the most luxurious vacation in your home. We
were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, the info. about
restaurants, and your welcome note with wine. We may want to book
one of your larger homes next year if we can talk our parents into
coming with us. Thank you for everything. Lori and Jill

Just a note to say how much we all enjoyed our week in Florida. All good things must come to an end, they say, so we had to head home on Friday to weather here in Cobourg which holds a slight promise of spring, but also to large snow banks which accumulated during the week we were away. We certainly enjoyed staying at Hummingbirds and it was a wonderfully comfortable place for all of us, including our daughter, son-in-law and the wonderful grandson. We found the location quite central to many things - a very short drive to beautiful Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands, and to the ballgames that we enjoyed in Clearwater and Dunedin. It was nice to have a real "home" where we could prepare our own meals as often as we wished, and still be able to "dine out" at some great local spots. We appreciated the heated pool which was wonderful for the little guy to enjoy. We hope we left the house as close to the neat-as-a-pin condition in which we found it as possible. We hope to perhaps avail ourselves or your hospitality again at some point in the future, and we will certainly recommend the location to anyone interested in travelling to your part of Florida.
Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful week's vacation at your spot.

A plus for the Humming Birds comment book. It was our first time staying in a holiday rental property and we were apprehensive about cleanth and standards of decor and maintenance. We enjoy high standards of living in our day to day existence so The Humming Birds really did feel our home for a couple of weeks. The privacy of the pool in the back yard was an added bonus.
Expect a request from us when next we visit Florida. In the meantime, thank you.
Warmest regards

Hi Paul & Gaye just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed staying at the
Hummingbirds during our visit to Florida, in fact, when we moved to another
villa near Orlando for the 2nd week even the kids were saying how much they
preferred yours!
Thanks, and kind regards

Hello Gaye,
We returned from Palm Harbor, Florida on 3/31/07 after having a great week in
your rental property.
The layout of the house was lovely and we were so thrilled to have our own
pool. The location was great too, as we were able to visit a few of the
surrounding areas while in town. Thank you for the accommodations, as we
hope to return again soon.
We hope that your cleaners will find the house in tip top shape from our
visit.
Thanks

Hi
just back today and wanted to let you know all went well and we had a very relaxing time at the house. Thanks for letting us use it - we really liked it.
We left a map book there for future people plus a couple of finished novels as well.
Thanks again.

Warm Greetings Paul & Gaye,
Steve & I wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our week at the Hummingbirds (Aug 5-12) The home is beautiful, clean, very tastefully decorated, comfortable and the pool area private and well secluded. We enjoyed our time in Palm Harbor and ventured out to Clearwater/St. Pete also. We have a good friend who lives in downtown St. Pete and he acted as our tour guide.
All and all, it was a wonderful week in Palm Harbor and we look forward to returning soon.
Thank you for allowing us the time in your beautiful, quaint Hummingbird home.
Sincere regards,

Dear Paul & Gaye,
Just a quick note to let you know what a grand time we had at your house last week. The accommodations were as lovely as advertised, and the weather was ideal. Because the area was new to us (most of our visits to Florida have been spent on the east coast and in the Keys), we enjoyed exploring the nearby towns and beaches and discovering good restaurants.
Many thanks,

Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your lovely home! It is
absolutely beautiful and set in a lovely location. I really didn't want to
leave after our week and can understand why you spend all winter there.
I will definitely want to stay there again and will contact you the
next time we go to Florida
Kind Regards

Hello Ms. Vogel! My friend and I enjoyed our stay at The Hummingbirds very much! It was a wonderful vacation and a great place to stay.
I was writing to inquire about when the deposit will be returned. It may have already been mailed, but I just wanted to check on it.
Thank you for sharing your home!

Hello Gaye and Paul
This is just a note to say what a wonderful time we have had in your house in Florida. The whole setting was lovely, and we all really enjoyed having the pool to fall into. The weather was incredibly hot! We've spent the past nine years going to Florida, the last five of which have been during July and August. This year has been the hottest we have encountered, and we have been told that it's the hottest August in the past 100 years! Last year we had a hurricane to contend with! You can't win!!
Anyway, we found all the facilities in the house great - the boys thought the TV was magnificent - they managed to tell us that ours was really small when we got home. (The only thing I think was lacking was a vacuum cleaner. I know this sounds funny being on holiday, but being in a place for three weeks, bits do tend to gather on rugs, and I would have liked to have been able to hoover them up!!! I must sound sad!)
As I said before, we all had a wonderful time, but after the rain at home this week it's started to seem a distant memory.
Many thanks.
Regards.

Thank you for a wonderful home for our stay in Florida. The children loved the pool, and the big screen tv. The weather was beautiful, and we got out just before hurricane Dennis could cause much delay on the roadways. Your home was beautiful, relaxing, inviting, and most of all close to everything that we wanted to do, but yet we felt as if we were miles away from the city. Thanks again for a delightful stay, and please advise when you will be returning my deposit via paypal. Thanks!!

We arrived back today and wanted to thank you for providing such a lovely house. You must be very proud of how you developed it.
We really enjoyed the pleasures of your pool, our five year old was taught to swim without armbands. The location was perfect. We enjoyed wonderful beach days at both Honeymoon Island and Clearwater Beach.
We especially loved your location as Clearwater was jam packed, it was great to have a wonderful oasis.

Dear Gaye,
Thank you for once again allowing us to rent the Hummingbirds. We had a good time, it was lovely. The weather held out too which was nice. It was great to take walks in the morning with the kids, it's too cold here right now to do that. Hope everything was left the way you like it.
