The house was really great. It was close to the Disney parks and was everything we expected. We really enjoyed the pool after a long day at Disney. The house was plenty big enough for our family of 10.

Helen, thanks for everything. You made the experience very enjoyable. We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks for helping make our holiday memorable. Having a lovely home to come home to after a busy day at Disney added to our holiday. There is plenty of room for everyone and both adults and teenagers enjoyed the home like environment. We have recommended your service and this home to others. Thanks again and we hope to be back some time soon.

The house was a great place to stay. It met our expectations and then some. The management company responded in a timely manner for our requirement for a crib when we couldn't find it in the house. I highly recommend this house.

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I couldn't believe how close it was to Disney and everything else we wanted to do. I can't say enough about how wonderful a vacation we had at your home.When we come back to your area we would love to stay there again. Thank you so much Helen for allowing us to stay at your home.

We stayed at this house OCT 13-20,2007. It was wonderful! The house was spotless inside and out. You couldn't ask for a better location either. It was close to Disney, shopping, dining, ect. The private pool and spa were very nice and we loved the pool table! I would stay here a million times again and would highly recommend this house to others! Thank you for such a magical vacation!!

Wow! What more can I say??? We vacationed in Highgate from the 12-22nd of Sept '07 and it was incredible. The house was clean and had everything that was needed, and it was a great location with respect to the Super Wal-mart, Disney and out-let shopping. We did Disney by day and the pool and hot tub by night. It was a great feeling knowing that you were in a gated community, very safe feeling when you are so far away from home. We would stay in Highgate again and would recommend it to others going to the area.

Thanks Helen!

The Highgate house was a perfect accomodation for our week "doing Disney." The location was extremely convenient to all the parks so we didn't waste time fighting traffic, and could break up our days to accomodate our young grandkids.

The pool was great for unwinding and all the household essentials were provided. Having a washer and dryer saved greatly on the amount of clothes we needed to bring. It was a hot week, and we all needed a new set of clothes each day.

Stores were very convenient and easy to find which simplified things logistically.

We definitely will come back here for our next Florida vacation, and recommend it to others.

Our stay at Highgate Park was wonderful!!!! We will definitely remember this vacation. There were eleven of us and we were more than comfortable. The five children had a ball with the games and the private pool. This is very nice community. I was so surprised to see a police car patroling through the neighborhood early one morning. Everything we needed was provided (except the food). Grocery stores, fast food, and restaurants were very close and accessible. The customer service was 5-star. I got quick responses everytime. I remember thinking, this is just too good to be true. But, it was all true. Everything we were promised was delivered. I will certainly recommend this community to all my family and friends. We are already planning to return in March "08" for my daughter's dance nationals.

We had an incredible time at your vacation home. The home was
close Disney but at the same time offered a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. We would not hesitate at all scheduling a return trip in the near future. Thank you.

Helen & James,
Re: HighGate Home Rental 03/03 - 03/10
WOW!! What an enjoyable time at the
HighGate Home! The house is very well
furnished with all the comforts of
home! We’ve rented numerous Florida
Vacation Homes and this one was a
winner! The pool table, air hockey
table, and swimming pool were all
a “hit” with the kids! Mom & Dad liked
having ample room to relax plus having
a washer & dryer. The neighborhood is
safe, secure (gated community), and
quiet. There is very little car traffic
in the development. A new Publix
supermarket and Applebee’s restaurant
have recently opened just a few minutes from the house (south) – very
convenient! The home is literally 15
minutes from Disney!! Don’t forget to
take a backpack and make your lunches
at the house prior to visiting the
park. It will save lots of time
(waiting in line for food) and $$$.
Email with any questions and have a
great vacation!

We had a wonderful time and it was so nice to be able to end each day in comfort and peace at your home. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the home's ammenities were more than adequate. I'm sure we would do it again when we return to Florida.

First time I ever rented a home and would not do it any other way on vacation in the future. The customer service regarding the rental process was great, and the whole process was very easy. By renting in Orlando for a week instead of staying on the resort, I had way more space and privacy. I also enjoyed the savings which I figure was well over $1,000 USD for my family on accomidations, and I was able to take a one minute drive to a supermarket there and buy all the food and drink I wanted. Think of the savings there alone !!!

The house was wonderful! We had 7 people with us and with all the rooms, everyone got to do what they wanted and gave us the privacy that we needed. The pool was a nice relaxing way to end the evening and we all had a good time. We have already recommended this place to others that may be coming up next year. I know they will love it and everything was so close! Had an excellent time there. It had everything we needed!

We were 100% satisfied with our accomodations the week of our stay in Orlando. Not only was the house beautiful in it's layout, but it was spacious allowing us all to have some much needed space after a long day at the parks. Helen's home was also very clean when we arrived. It was a wonderful place to lay our heads and we would rent it again in a heartbeat. Sincerely, Debbie and Mark Mills

We just returned from our stay at Highgate Park. Can not say enough great things about the house and even the service before - confirming all the details. I was travelling with my husband and 6 of his family memebers - and there was more then enough room for everyone! The pool was a hit and it was so close to all the parks.

Helen, thanks for making our trip to Disney so enjoyable. The house was everything you said it would be. It was so nice to come in from a long day and be able to pull in the garage instead of finding parking and having to walk forever. It was so nice for each family to have their own restroom. I loved having the washer/dryer. I was able to wash my clothes each day and bring home clean clothes. I can't think of a bad thing to say. It was perfect for our needs. It was close to the parks, close to Walmart, grocery stores and many great places to eat. Thanks Again! We will be calling you again when we get ready to go back to Disney.

Thanks so much for all your help Helen. We had a great stay at your vacation home. The location was near Disney and very easy to find. The home was in tip top shape when we arrived. Loved the spaciousness of the home, and the kids definitely loved the pool! Thanks for helping us have a wonderful family vacation. We will probably be calling you again next year for a rental!

We rented a house in Highgate for the week of September 3rd - 10th. We had some concerns going into it, since we had never rented a vacation house before, and had heard some negative things online (pictures misrepresenting the house, completely different house then the one pictured, amenities not as listed, etc.).
I'm so happy to say your house was nothing like that! The pictures were a perfect representation; the house was beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked. Everything went as well as we could have hoped. Coming home to the game room, pool area, kitchen and laundry area made our stay much more enjoyable.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone I know who is looking for an extended vacation in Orlando. So again, thanks for everything.

Hi Helen,

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed dealing with you and our stay at your rental house during our trip to Disney World.

This was our third family vacation to Disney World. Our first trip we stayed on property at Disney’s All-Star Sports, our second trip we stayed at the Holiday Inn just outside Disney World (now Nickelodeon Family Suites by Holiday Inn) and by far your house was the biggest hit with us and our kids and the best value for our money. It was so nice after a long, long day standing in lines and dealing with all the people at the parks to come home to a nice quite home, where we could all unwind and take baths and showers without climbing all over each other. We also enjoyed having our own washer and dryer in the house versus having to drag everything to the laundry room (we even did our laundry on our last night and brought back all clean clothes)

I was a little concerned about how long it would take to drive back and forth to the parks, but we normally made the trip in about 15 – 20 min. (Which is about the same time, if not shorter, it took us to wait for shuttles to bring us back to All-Star Sports)

Again, thanks for a great time and we will defiantly stay with you on our next trip.

Sincerely,

Jeff, Lorri, Chas (12), Rivers (9) & Chaislyn (5)
