"Karen, your home exemplified and added to an amazing family vacation in early November of 2009. We had a total of 7 people in our party -- 4 adults and 3 kids from two separate families. The home is perfectly set up for this type of arrangement as it offers privacy at both ends of the home in the main floor master retreats, and the kids loved the upper level theme rooms, computer area, baths, etc. We enjoyed late afternoon / early evening snacks after returning from the Disney Parks beside the pool, thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and darts, and the game room is great. The kids hardly had time to use the PS2!! HA! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking appliances, plates, glasses, spices, etc., as we bought all our food and cooked evenings and breakfast at home. Your home provided a sanctuary for relaxation at the end of the days, and offered lots of separate get-away areas no matter what anyone wanted to do! I hope anyone that may be reading this will rest assured of how great an investment this is in their vacation -- worth EVERY penny and MORE! The Bennigsdorf and Hansen families from Denver, CO! Thank you, Karen!!"

Karen,
We had an absolutely fabulous time in Florida, the house was so perfect for us, it was beautifully decorated and the time you had spent making everything look so put together with all the neat accessories made it even more impressive. Great books too - loved the Graham Norton one ! We all said a huge wow when we opened up the Harry Potter themed room,the murals were impressive, breathtaking, in fact all five of us went from room to room saying wow, we could not have asked for a cleaner nicer and safer home. The area too for us was great handy to grocery stores, nice eating places, especially liked Manny's thanks for the recommendation. We liked the area because it was close to all Disney Parks 15 -20 mins by car,great access to highway, but it was far enough away from all the commercial built up areas. Thank you Karen for letting us share your home, you were a pleasure to deal with, so friendly and accommodating, and to anyone with any hesitation in renting this place, dont hesitate for too long, you just might not get the weeks you want - and it would be a great shame for you to miss out on this great home.
Again thanks Karen.
Best wishes Jayne, Martyn & Family.

| My family and I spent last week on vacation at the villa and thoroughly enjoyed it. Karen has left no stone unturned in filling the home with everything a guest could possible need. The parks are a easy 20 minute drive away. For those from the Northeast, there's a Dunkin' Donuts right on the way! After long days at Disney and Universal it was great to come back to such a nice place. My 5 yr old son loved the Harry Potter room as well as the game room. My wife and I loved being able to put him to bed at night (the Sponge Bob room was his choice) then relax and enjoy the house with our other relatives. It's a far cry better than putting him to sleep in a small hotel room, turning off the lights and watching TV at a low volume in the next bed! This was the first time we had rented a house as opposed to a hotel, but it will not be the last. We will definitely rent from Karen again. |

Dear Karen,
This was our first time booking a house instead of a hotel for our family vacation and we have to admit that we were a bit nervous. I am happy to say that we were more than pleased with your beautiful villa and all the accomodations. Your focus on families with young children made this trip extra special and all the kids (ranging from ages 1-10) had a great time. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

| We had a wonderful stay at the villa. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Everything we could need for a 20 month old was there, including a high chair, pack and play, booster seat...The drive to the parks was not bad at all, and we kind of needed the reprieve at the end of the day. Even when there were a few little hiccups (a thunderstorm knocked out some things), the management company was very quick to respond and take care of the problems. The kids (and adults) loved the games room, and we all enjoyed the pool area so much. The paintings on the walls were so impressive and the kids really enjoyed their rooms. My 4 year old keeps asking when she can sleep in her Minnie Mouse bed again! Thanks for thinking of so many things to make a stay comfortable and enjoyable! When we come back in a few years, we will be contacting you again! |

Karen, Thank you so much for allowing us to use your home during our recent vacation for my entire family. Actually, my two 5 year olds grandsons were more interested in spending the day swimming and playing games in the Harry Potter room. I asked them what the best thing was about the vacation and they both said, “swimming in the pool” and getting in the Jacuzzi. They did enjoy the parks and we did too, but it’s a long day for this age- actually it’s long for we adults. The house was a pleasure to return to after a long day- to just sit outside in the nice area and relax and watch the kids play. The location was perfect and the accommodations that you have provided were superior. We all felt as though we were living in “Cinderella’s Castle” ourselves. Again thank you for everything.

Our family have just returned from 3 weeks in this fabulous villa. It has everything you could need and more!! The children had hours of fun in the games room (along with the adults). The pool was marvellous and so relaxing. After long hectic days at the theme parks, returning here is just what you need. Within easy reach of the local attractions too. Beautifully decorated and highly recommended!!

Hi Karen,
thank you so much for sharing your Villa with us! There were eleven people in our group and the house was just "the right fit". We loved the location of the villa! It was close to all major attractions such as Disney. The kids loved the games room and pool. They always looked forward to returning each evening for a swim. Your villa offered all the comforts of home...we are looking at dates to book again next year!! Again, thank you for sharing your villa with us! Warm regards, The Slaney's and Walsh Families |

Hi Karen,
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay with our extended family members. Everything was as you said, easy access to DisneyWorld and Orlando International airport. The kids loved the heated pool. The adults loved the large flat screen TV. It was a great place to relax after a long day in DisneyWorld. The kids want to come back soon. John & Angie McLeod

Karen,
I wasn’t sure what to expect since this was our first time renting a house for a business function. I really appreciate how easy and honest you were to work with; I made the right decision booking your house. All four of us were impressed with all aspects of the house (the pictures were spot-on) and really enjoyed the spa after a long day on the convention floor. The next time we are back in Orlando we will be sure to book with you again!

Our family had a fantastic time staying in Calabay Villa! The house is beautifully decorated and includes all the amenities you could think of, from a large-screen TV & comfortable leather sofas to wireless internet access. The outdoor seating is also beautiful (fantastic to feel the cool breeze). In addition, it's a very quick drive up Hwy 4 to get to DisneyWorld, plus close to major shopping (Target, Super WalMart, etc.) I looked at many, many homes on teh internet and this was the best by far!

Dear Karen
We had a fantastic stay in which is truly a lovely Villa, full of everything we could require beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.
We were a party of 11 with age ranges from nine to seventy four, and everyone was truly very happy.
The villa is close to everything you need from shops to all the Parcs - must say a thank you for recommending Mannies Restaurant - we had some great nights there.
Some days it was a hardship to leave the super pool and everynight I used the spa and watched the stars. My youngest and oldest boy(19) loved the Sponge Bob Room.........
Thank you so much for letting us share your home - I use this word rather then Villa because it had so many home comforts and beautiful touches.
I would recommend this Villa to everyone.
Best Regards

The Villa is beautiful, with tastefully decorated rooms and clean atmosphere. The home is very inviting and the pool area is fantastic.
The games room has an activity for everyones taste and enjoyment. The location is great with Walmart and target close by. The prime oulets and Orlando outlets are all within a 20 minute drive which is great shopping, and so easy to get to Disney world, sea world and other attractions. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe, the pool is fenced in for small children. The master bedrooms are huge! and the children's rooms are so great with fun murals on the walls. Overall my stay there was very enjoyable and we will be returning many times.
Our stay was great and your management Kimberly was so helpful and nice. I would reccomend your villa to anyone.

Karen,
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful home with us! It was well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The children loved the character rooms and the pool. It was less than a 15 minute drive for us to get to Disney and was so nice to have a roomy house to come home to after a long busy day. You were so helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had!

This stay was one of the best values I have ever gotten. The villa is huge, beautifully decorated, and there are so many small details for your fun and comfort during your stay in Orlando. Some of the highlights: Pool area with dart board; fishing pier with equipment in the villa (my daughter caught her first fish); plenty of room for the whole family to "spread out"; the Master bath was great, with the extra large shower; there is plenty of shopping nearby, including Walmart and Target. The decoration deserves a second mention, Karen did a great job. Also, everything was spotlessly clean. We had one issue with the smoke alarm beeping due to low battery, and the management company came over right away to fix it. The management of the villa are extremely nice and helpful.
We would definitely recommend to a friend. Lease with confidence from Karen! Josh M; Sharpsburg, GA

Our stay at Calabay Villa during the week of 6/21/08 was fantastic! We had plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen accessories for the adults and TV's and games for the kids. You had a perfect number of loungers and chairs by the pool and they were of excellent quality. My mother even purchased a set exactly like them as soon as we returned home!! You are the kindest and most efficient "vacation owner" I have ever had the pleasure to rent from. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us.
Thanks so much Karen!! We are looking forward to renting from you again!

Dear Karen,
I am going to make it difficult for us to be able to get this Villa next time we come to Orlando - not because I have anything bad to say about it but because it will encourage even more people to book it. Most people who stay here comment on the character paintings on the wall and the location and games room and pool which are all fantastic but what sets this apart from anywhere else I have stayed was that it feels like a home rather than a house. This is not the type of praise I give lightly as through work I have stayed at hundreds of hotels throughout UK, Europe, the USA and Asia. The cleanliness is outstanding, EVERY single area of the house has been decorated to an amazing standard with great thought. In short, no corner has been cut. My partner commented that if you moved in to the Villa to live there you would hardly change a thing - and that is coming from a woman who is tough to please in the decor stakes!
For play - the games room is excellent and far enough from the living area to let the kids be noisy and the pool is quite secluded and there is plenty of room surrounding it to dry off or lounge around. For relaxation - the beds are very comfy which is a big thing going on holiday to somehere like Disney, the couch is the comfiest I have sat/lay on and having access to all the best cable channels means that if you choose to stay in you can watch CSI Miami/Law & Order or loads of films rather than the daytime dross we usually get in the UK. Free internet and wireless availability means you can keep up to date with work or e-mails when needed. Location is excellent - Wal-Mart 2 mins away and it is easy to get to the Theme Parks within 20 minutes. Although the house has everything for you to cook there are McDonalds just a minute away if the kids need something quick. Kym from the management company made a point of visiting us early on in our first week and was very helpful, the pool guy was polite and hard-working and whoever cleans the house must be on a mission to rid the world of dust and dirt because we could not find any. Despite being more than willing to put our bin out on the right day we were beaten to it by someone else on both occasions which shows that the management company are ensuring that everything is being done to allow the next guests to stay in maximum comfort. We have been home for less than a week and usually I am always ready to return back to England when away but I have to say that I was devastated to return and we are all missing the Villa and Orlando so much. Karen may be a successful businesswoman but she is not the type to take your money and run - she rang us on numerous occasions while there to check we were ok and in the build-up to our holiday we exchanged lots of e-mails and spoke on the phone. I loved the Villa so much I even enquired about prices to buy one in the same style which says it all

Dear Karen,
Our group had a wonderful stay in your beautiful villa. We were eight friends and golfers, playing a few rounds and sharing some laughs. We were so comfortable at the villa we never considered going out for dinner; we also had some fun times in the games room. There was plenty of room for everyone.
As the organizer I appreciated your responsiveness and attention to details. I would be grateful if you would buy a similar villa in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, as we have chosen to go there for our annual golf trip next year and would love to deal with you again.
Cheers,

Dear Karen
The four of us absolutely loved the villa. It was by far the best one we have stayed in. Everything was so clean, and we loved how the home was decorated. The artwork in the childrens rooms is amazing! We would certainly recommend your villa to others and we would rent it again ourselves. I cant wait to come back in a few years when we have children of our own. We loved hanging out in the hot tub when we came home from the parks, and we didnt want to leave the pool to go out during the day. The game room was great too! Having interent access was also very convenient. We were very sad to leave and wish we could have picked up the house and brought it back to New York with us. Thank you for all your help, and for being so nice. I am sure we will be contacting you again!

Hi Karen,
Our stay at your Villa was nothing short of delightful.
We were a family of 12 (7 adults and 4 grandchildren). The accomodations met all of our needs. Particularly, having 3 toddlers, your making sure we had 3 pack and plays or "cribs" as you call them in the UK, made the mums very happy.
Everything was conveniently located, Disney, shopping, and even a trip to the ocean for an afternoon (the gulf no less).
The game room was awesome, and we used the bikes nearly everyday.
Also, the children loved the theme rooms.
Thank you for your efforts in making out stay comfortable. We will definitely look you up again for future visits to Disney.
Take care dear friend and God's blessings always.

Hi Karen,
Your house is absolutely amazing thank you for sharing it with us. We had a
very good time.
The heat in the pool and hot tub was so good after the long day at the parks.
I kept saying to my husband that I wanted to stay!!
Laying out by the pool with all the sunshine was perfect, quiet and very
relaxing.
You had all the amenities of home which made the stay so enjoyable! Not
once did we wake up with sore backs the way that we usually do when staying
at hotels. Everyone loved their rooms and felt very pampered in them!
We are defintely talking about booking again for next year!
Kymberli and her husband (the management company)were so nice as well and made sure that we were
comfortable and that everything was going well!
The week was amazing and we are looking forward to going back!

With regards to our stay at your fabulous villa, what can I say? You have a beautifully appointed home with absolutely everything one could need to ensure a great holiday - enough space to 'get away from it all' but with ample facilities to 'get together'. Endless entertainment opportunities for the kids (and big kids!) - pool, games room, den, tvs, dvds, bicycles, darts etc. There is no way that any hotel could compete with the freedom and flexibility offered by your accomodation.
Choosing your villa was easy, booking it was a breeze and spending 2 weeks there was a dream. So close to all the attractions, convenient for supermarkets and malls, and your personal attention - phonecalls to check how we were doing and fast response to any queries, even from England. We are already thinking about returning to Florida when our youngest is a little older and we would definitely choose Calabay villa again.
With best wishes until then,

Dear Karen,
We really loved our stay in your beautiful, clean and spacious villa. Our daughters (5 and 6 years) would not have wanted to leave this beautiful house and their exciting rooms. They are still speaking about their 'own rooms' of Minney Mouse and Sponge Bob. They spent hours and hours in the pool. Every single day.
We really felt like home. Everything we needed was provided and even more. All attractions were within a short drive. The kitchen had all appliances for making nice dinners at home. We can really recommend this house to any of our friends.
Thank you so much for sharing it with us, Karen!

I cannot stop telling everyone what a wonderful time we had staying in your
Villa. It was the most relaxing, beautiful, and peaceful vacation we've had as an extended family. There was so much room for everyone to be together or spend time apart. The kids went for walks and bike rides and swam in the pool all day, every day. The pictures I sent to my friends and family of the house and our time there were very well received and I'm receiving all kinds of calls asking how I found your listing and the cost of our stay.

While searching for a vacation home for my family..I came across the PERFECT floor plan..Karen's Villa!
It supplied the room and comfort that my family needed as well as "beautifully" decorated and almost brand new...! We own a furniture store and I was immediately impressed by the quality furnishing in the home
My "favorite" spot was the wonderful spa! Our little grandaughter "Sophia" celebrated her 4th birthday Jan 14,2008 at Cinderella's castle..and she was ready to come HOME to the villa! We loved the location, ammenities and our gracious hostess Karen
who took time to see to her guests.

The children spent hours splashing in the pool, while the adults enjoyed the Jacuzzi. We were able to avoid expensive meal dining out while we created family dinners together in the modern well equipped kitchen.

The murals of Mickey and Minnie, Spongebob, Nemo and Harry Potter added so much to the ambience. The beds were totally relaxing and the bedding was plush.

As my family and I get ready to end a wonderful week vacationing here in Orlando, FL I just wanted to thank you for providing such a beautiful home, which made our vacation a great one! The house was beautiful and everything plus more than we expected in a vacation home. There were so many activities to choose from within the home that there were times we had to force ourselves to leave!! Our two year old granddaughter absolutely loved the Minnie and Mickey room and called the house "Minnie's House." She couldn't wait to get home every day to see her Minnie Mouse House. I can't say enough good things about the home because I would run out of words.
Thanks again for giving us such a wonderful week!!

Wow, our expectations were met and surpassed! We booked this home on a whim for a 60th birthday celebration and we were not sure what to expect. Any fears we had were to put to rest as soon as we drove through the gates to the community and saw everything this house had to offer. Not only were we a short drive to all Disney attractions and surrounded by great golf but our time at the house was fantastic. All 8 adults slept comfortably with their own private areas and we congregated in front of the huge television or out by the pool. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and the game room provided us with tons of entertainment after dinner! We all commented throughout the vacation how great the house was and we would not hesitate to book again on our next trip down to Orlando.
Thanks!

WOW! We absolutely loved your villa! It was the perfect fit for the family. The decorations were absolutely unbelievable for a rental property and the little extras were really nice. We have already let others know about your villa and they are planning to make they trip around availablity of your place. Thanks so much for providing such a lovely place! We truly enjoyed every minute that we were there. Wonderful memories of a wonderful vacation!
Thanks so much!

| We would choose this home again! The home is beautiful and luxurious. We particularly appreciated the "extra conveniences" not always provided elsewhere - baby monitor, crib, stroller, pushbikes, fishing equipment, DVD's, boardgames and more. Our children loved the games room and playstation. We felt relaxed and "at home". A special mention also to the owner, Karen, who personally cares about the quality of your stay. |

This home was a dream come true for us and only 20 minutes away from Disney World! The house was absolutely gorgeous and was decorated like a model home. It was very clean and spacious (there were even animals made from towels in the master suites). A big plus was all the baby items that were available in the home (i.e. stroller, high chair, carrier, mini crib), the game room and the washer/dryer. The swimming pool, spa and patio were great and very clean. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone and would definitely rent this home again!

| The pictures did not capture how beautiful the home really is. The decor is very tastefully done. We especially enjoyed the "extras" that most homes do not have. The private pool is the biggest plus but the bikes, video games, DVD's and game room was a hit for the children. For us adults, the walkie talkies, alarms on the doors, stroller and computer with internet was a great convenience. The villa is located close to everything you want or need to do. Six adults, three children and an infant were accommodated very comfortably. From our vacation experiences, this was by far the best value for our money. When visiting this area again, we would hope the villa would be available. Also, the owner Karen is a pleasure to deal with. She really cares that your stay is as enjoyable as possible. |

| Our stay at the villa at Calabay was wonderful! The accommodations are lovely! There are plenty of towels, comfortable beds and pillows, a loaded kitchen. The furniture was all comfortable and user friendly. The game room is very fun for the kids. Our family group had children of ages ranging from two years old to 12 years old. They all loved the game room! The décor was beautiful and the specialty mural painting on the walls was a great unique touch. The baby equipment and walkie talkies were a huge convenience for us!! The location is close to restaurants and shops for convenients and the ride to and from Disney and other amusements is perfect. We had a great time and will book there again when we go back to Orlando Florida. |

| This villa was beyond beautiful. Within the last 12 years, this villa is the best vacation home we’ve stayed in. The spacious rooms and incredible view of the pool combine to create a relaxing atmosphere. The kids really enjoyed the game room, the complimentary bikes, and the Play Station 2. The villa is conveniently located near a variety of restaurants, shopping centers, and just fifteen minutes from Disney and Universal theme parks. For a relaxing vacation, look no further than this wonderful villa.We were the first guests in there as the house was brand new from 14th june to 18th june 07 and we have rebooked for thankgiving this year. |
