Guest Comments:


Dear Paulette,
I think you will see us again we had such a lovely time staying at your home, in fact I just brought the information to some friends that are thinking about going to Florida so I told them about how wonderful our stay was.  In fact I did say I really don't think I would ever stay anywhere else except your homes :)  It was a great time, my sister said the same thing and we will get your picture to you of the big fish that Bob caught on the lake he was so -------------- excited about it:)

Thanks again, Paula and Bob, Gregory and Caytie Joe, Mary Cay & Ti


 
Hello, 
OMG..........words can't begin to express the great time that we experienced while vacationing in Florida. The entire Freely clan said it like this: "the best vacation ever," if my memory serves me right.  And if by some chance the younger ones didn't say anything, the smiles that were on their faces surely did!! Everything was 1st rate and I do mean everything !!! Thank you and your husband for making our vacation a dream come true, and yes we will be booking with you again and again starting with next year. In fact we were hoping that you could just hold our deposit "On Account" and as soon as we can schedule vacations for next year, with you, we will. (Once your schedule becomes available) Again, the entire family thanks you and your husband from the bottom of our hearts.
Sincerely yours,
The Freely Family


Hi Paulette:
                I was just about to email you.  Funny you wrote at this time.  I just gave one of my friends your website address and told him what a fabulous place you had and what a great time we had staying there.  We would definitely want to come back there again – hopefully sooner than later.  It was so clean and comfortable and soooo relaxing after full days at the park.  We enjoyed the pool and spa very much and felt very safe at the home.   I am soooooo happy that we found your website by random chance.   My family and I travel quite a bit and have stayed at many condos and town homes in Hawaii, California, Mexico, Canada and Europe.  Your home was by far our favorite home that we’ve stayed in.   It truly made our vacation experience grand and the price was amazing as well.  We stayed Saturday night at a “resort”  for $210 a night, and we were sorely disappointed after leaving your home!
                When I told my friend about your place, just about 10 minutes ago, he was very excited and asked me to send him the link immediately.  He wants to bring his grandkids!
                Thank you again Paulette and Lee!  We loved your home and your help.  You have a great website as well.  Hope to see you very soon.
                Gloria, William, Celine, Anna, JoAnn, and Marlene 


Paulette, My family and I would like to thank you and Lee for the GREAT time we had while vacationing in one of your homes. We could not think of any nicer people to have shared our vacation with. The house was even nicer than we could have dreamed of. Your hospitality was that of a family member. I would just like to say of behalf of my family THANK YOU again. We show everyone we work with the pictures of the house and tell them just how kind and generous you and Lee are. I highly recommend your homes to everyone. We will call again on > the Herron's. Thank you again.
Helen


Dear Paulette and Lee,
     Thank you so much for everything!  We loved the house and we had such a memorable time with our children at Disney!  Josh (our 7 year old son even taught himself how to swim in your pool last week)!  My mother-in-law
remarked that the pool was one of the highlights of our vacation, as everyone enjoyed it so much!  We look forward to renting from you again on our next vacation.  Thank you again!
Terri


Dear Paulette;
Just a quick note to tell you how much we loved staying at Twin Palms.  It was the perfect vacation spot.  The house was the best part.  We were able to swim, barbeque and relax between trips to the parks and golf courses.  Like I mentioned to you before, we were so impressed with the cleanliness of the house and so many added features.
We will definitely stay with you again and look forward to our next vacation in Florida.  Thank you so much for everything.    Jean & Dale


Hi Paulette & Lee     Thank you both for making our vacation "a dream come true" Each of us totally enjoyed every minute. Things have been a little hectic since our arrival home. I miss my early morning walks & a.m. dip in the pool. The last day, while walking, I cried the whole way. It is such a relaxing surrounding. We will definitely be back. Please continue to send us your rates throughout the year. God Bless you both   Lynn
 


We received the security deposit - thank you!  Renting a house over the Internet was a huge risk for us but after seeing the house and meeting you we were certain we made a great decision.  All of your disclosures on your web page were accurate and the house was beautiful.  The family could not believe we found such a nice place to stay and everyone had a great time in the swimming pool.  Thank you for making our family reunion in Florida such a wonderful experience and we will keep your business card for a referral to family and friends planning vacations to Florida.          
Sincerely, 
The Smith Clan
 


Dear Paulette,
Would just like to tell you the house was perfect. We had a wonderful time!  That hot tub comes in handy after a long day on your feet at the parks. Already talking about making a return visit possibly next year!!!!!!!  I will also be telling everyone I know that is thinking about a trip to Disney about your properties.  Your web page is definitely locked into my favorites. Once again thank you for your hospitality, and it was a pleasure meeting you and hope to see you again soon.

Paulette, 
I meant to send you an e-mail earlier to thank you both for your help in making our vacation to the Orlando area a wonderful time.  We completely enjoyed our time there and the house we everything that we expected.   The fact that we could relax in a house rather then a hotel room really made the vacation a success with the kids and us. 
We were able to do the four major Disney parks plus Sea World in the week that we were there so the “days off” lounging by the pool were really needed!!  We have already started planning next years vacation and will be getting with you soon about renting the house again plus everyone that we know in Southern Maryland is asking us how to contact you so they can plan there vacation.  I’ve been giving out your homepage address daily!  Thanks again and we look forward to talking to you soon.
 Rick, Beth and family.


Paulette & Lee,
On behalf of our family we would like to thank you for helping to make our stay a memorable one.  The house was just great.  The kids really enjoyed the pool.  The location was perfect.  Just minutes to all the parks, restaurants, shopping, golf & more.  We would definitely do it again.  We will make sure to recommend you to any of our friends or family traveling to your area.   P.S.  Love your newsletter. Terrific idea.
Sincerely, Eileen & Russ
 


Paulette & Lee,
It was a true blessing to find you-- We all LOVED the house and of course didn't want to leave--  We had as close to a perfect vacation as anyone could ask for-- the pool--the great rooms--the lake to fish in-- People still can't believe our pictures--- we are very excited about returning-- I am hoping to make it back in 2005---it might be 2006--but when we know--we will certainly be in touch--early enough to get our "other house" as my 3 year old refers to it!!  I hope to refer many people to you also--- A lot of our friends don't know the magic that they miss by not vacationing at Disney--they all want to relax---and we both know not to come here to relax---actually we hope to return and stay enough just to enjoy the pool for an entire day!! Thank you again for EVERYTHING--it was perfect!!
Carolyn 


Paulette and Lee,
Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful home. I have been telling all my friends and family about how great our trip was and what a great house we rented from you. It was the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken. The kids were in heaven. They spent every waking moment in the pool and Jacuzzi. The book was full of information and answered so many of our questions. Everything we needed was there and the location was perfect. We are definitely planning another trip same time next year and will be sending you a deposit next month. Thanks again for showing us the other house. We appreciate you taking the time to do that for us. We would like to rent the Tropical Getaway III.  Take care and talk to you real soon!>
Sincerely your returning mousekeeters!
Paul, Donna, Kael, Brett, Ann Marie, Sara, Audrey, Haley, Sydney and Jenna
 


Paulette,
    We would like to Thank you for the wonderful accommodations. We are already thinking of returning next year with our extended family. We will definitely recommend your homes to others.
 Sincerely,
 Nancy
 


Hi Paulette,
Thank you for a wonderful week.  We really enjoyed your Twin Palms property- the pool area was enjoyed by all!  The accommodations were very comfortable for our entire family.   We appreciate all of your help with the tickets and other special requests.   We would definitely consider renting from you again in the future!  Thank you again. 
Sincerely,
Michelle and Family 
 


Paulette,
    The use of your home was everything I had hoped it would be. The Family had a good time and the grandchildren really enjoyed the pool. It was as convenient to Disney World as you described which made those days enjoyable also. Thankyou for the use of your home, Sig
 


Dear Paulette,
    Just wanted to let you know that I received your check in the mail today.  Thank you.  We really did have a wonderful time and feel like we did as much as we could in the amount of time we had.   It was so nice to come "home" to such a beautiful place and relax in the spa.  The kids could not get enough of the pool.   We've been telling everyone about the house and how nice and helpful you were.  Hopefully we'll be able to send some move vacationers your way.    
Thanks again,
Pam
 


Dear Lee and Paulette,
     We had a great time in Orlando, thanks in large part to our wonderful  accommodations.  The personal touch was excellent!  We will be definitely using your accommodations in the future when we travel to Orlando. Thanks again.
The Jasani's.
 


Paulette:  I meant to touch base with you at some time during last week, but time got away from us.  Thank you so much for sharing your home.  It was a lovely location and the house was wonderful and so clean.   The location is ideal, in a beautiful neighborhood, and we were able to leave the parks, come home for a bit and cool off and then go back in no time at all.  Again thank you.   We are planning to come again in the newyear to visit my dad.  I'll be sure to contact you first to check availability and of course, will be sure to refer you to those I know who are responsible and thinking of a Florida getaway!
 
 


Dear Paulette and Lee:
     Thankyou for a wonderful family vacation.  Your home was more than beautiful and spacious. We would have never had that inside Disney.  We had a very successful family reunion all 13 of us.  And not one time getting into each others way.  I know we will be joining you again sometime soon and I have highly recommended you to numerous friends.  And yes I received your check yesterday.  Thankyou!

P.S. Tell your house guest to make sure to keep extra bread on hand for your very large feathered friends that come every morning to visit out front (Sandhill Cranes).
 


Now that we have arrived home in St. Louis just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" again for working with us this past year to make this trip so nice.  The accommodations were perfect for us and everything worked out so good.  It was nice to meet you and Lee.  Perhaps in a couple of years we will be in touch again.

Hi Paulette & Lee,
We enjoyed our week at Getaway I very much, and look forward to returning at a future date.   Booking through the internet was somewhat unsettling, and it was such a relief to find that things were exactly as you represented them on your web site. Kathy, Kevin & family
 


Paulette,
Wanted to let you know I received your letter and to tell you what a wonderful time we had in Florida and what a beautiful place you had for us to stay in. I have told everyone how nice it was. I do hope to return in the next year or so and you will be the first person I will call. Keep in touch as will with you. We are big race fans and have talked about coming down to the Daytona race some time I'll let you know when. Until then take care. Joan
P.S. I'll mail you a picture of that gigantic fish my stepson caught in the lake as soon as get them developed.  
 


Hi Paulette, 
Thank you for having us in your lovely home.  We had a great time, and your house was perfect for us.  We were a little nervous about doing business over the internet, but you were so accommodating and honest.  The house was exactly as you described, and it was immaculate with everything we needed available.  We were really happy with our vacation.  Thank you so much. Hope to see you again in a few years! Regards,
The Sessler Family
 


Paulette,
         We would like to thank you for a wonderful vacation.  The home was beautiful and had everything promised and more.  We hope to be returning again in the future and you will be hearing from us.  Thanks again. Sincerely,  Lisa
 


Hi Paulette,
Thank you so much for providing a beautiful, clean home with several useful amenities that helped the kids feel like they were at home (they loved the stuffed animals).  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying in one of your beautiful homes upon our return visit to Disney World.

Hello Paulette & Lee,
We received today the refund of our deposit of 200$ for the house we rent recently.  Thank you very much for your promptness.  We also thank you a lot for the good words in the letter you sent with the check.  On our side, we also want to thank you very much for your warm welcome when we arrived.  Lee explain in more than details all what we need to know about the house, what to do at WDW, where to the grocery, etc, etc.  The house was simply fabulous and impeccable and was exactly what we wanted for the 2 family. We already spread the news in our family and friends who intent to go at WDW in the next year.  We will definitly refer them to you.  You can count on us.
Again, we would like to thank you for everything.  Searching, ask questions and make reservation via Internet on a house rental like this was for us a new experience and your were from day one very co-operative and give us confidence.  But, we were very anxious to see the house at our arrival.   BUT, It was better than what we had in our mind. See you again in the future.
 


Hi Paulette, 
The pleasure was all ours :-).  You have provided exceptional service to us, both before, during, and after our stay - Thank you !!).  We all agree that we can recommend you, without reservations, to anyone who  wants to go to Orlando. Thank you for everything.
Martin
 


Dear Paulette and Lee,
            Thanks for such a great time. We loved the house and the entire vacation. We've told friends and Family how wonderful it was .  We will definitely keep you in mind for our next trip and will tell  everyone who might be interested how great  you made it for us. Thanks Again.
 


Hello,
Just wanted to drop a note to tell you THANKS!!!!!  We had a fabulous time while in Orlando and mostly because you were absolutely great help with all our Disney plans.... The house was spectacular and everything your website displayed.    Again, THANKS for everything!!!!!    We had a great time!!!!
I will certainly recommend your website to everyone!!!!!!  Sincerely pleased,      Pam and Family
 


Hi Paulette,
I would like to say THANK YOU, we all enjoyed ourselves very much the place was great, we travel to Fl every year so you`ll probably hear from us again. Once again thanks.
Joe
 


Dear Paulette, Lee and Heather,
Thank you once again.  The house was lovely and everything was perfect.  All the Mouseketeers had a fabulous time.  The pool was nice and warm, the kids never wanted to get out.  They loved the huge tubs in the master bedrooms at bathtime as well, almost like a swimming pool.  The kids apartment was a big hit.  The furnishings were lovely, everything was even better than I could have hoped.  Thank you once again and we hope to visit again soon.
Melissa
 


Dear Paulette and Lee,
Just wanted to drop you a note to say our vacation was wonderful! The house was just the thing we needed to make our trip relaxing and comfortable after our long days at the WDW parks. We all had plenty of room and didn't feel we were getting in each others space. The kids had a lot of fun in the pool (we had more pool toys than the whole association combined!) and us adults used the hot tub nightly to totally relax while the kids were watching a movie or asleep in bed.  We loved Disney World and will surely be back in a few years
so you'll be hearing from us again!
Thanks again!
Renee and Mark
 


Lee & Paulette- 
Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay.  While the weather wasn't on our side - the hot tub and heated pool were!  Our kids had so much fun swimming in their own pool!  We look forward to staying in one of your homes in the future.
Thanks Again-
Karen


Dear Paulette,    Thank you again for everything!!!  We had a blast!!!  You will see us again!  I'm sure!  We are already talking about when we are going next...  I have recommended your home to some of my friends and have giving them your website.  I would recommend your home to anyone!! It was that nice!!   Thanks agian and we will probably be talking to you next year!!  Take care..
Kimberly
 


THANK YOU ALSO FOR AN ENJOYABLE VISIT! WE REALLY LOVED BEING ABLE TO RELAX IN A HOUSE AND NOT JUST LIVE OUT OF A SUITCASE FOR THE WEEK! THE BOYS WERE WATERLOGGED WHEN WE GOT HOME - THEY ENJOYED THE POOL MOST OF ALL I THINK.
THANK YOU TOO! TERRI
 


Dear Paulette,
We would also like to thank you for the wonderful rental.  It certainly provided us with all the amenities one would want. When we decide to come back to Mickey Mouse world we will definitely contact you for the same house.  Once again, thank you for such a pleasant stay.  We enjoyed our vacation tremendously.
Sincerely,
Paul and Michele
 


Paulette,
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.   Your home is beautiful and the children especially loved the pool - I think they used it everyday!  Next time I think we will come for two weeks!
Karen
 


Dear Paulette and Lee,
        I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your Tropical Getaway III Executive Home.  The accommodations were great, as was your attention to our needs for our two little guys with the highchair, booster seat, and crib.
        The home was everything you said it would be, and more.  The pool and spa were a big hit with adults and kids alike.  We never once heard the dreaded "I'm bored" from our eight-year-old grandson.  He, and we, were in the pool almost every minute we weren't at the theme parks.
        And, the proximity to the parks was great.  With 3 cars, each of our families came and went as they pleased.  The 15 minutes or so it took to get to and from the parks meant we could easily go back to our vacation home for a nap or a dip in the pool or a quick (and inexpensive) bite to eat.
        What we didn't plan on--and not mentioned in your information, that I remember--is how much money we saved by not eating in restaurants or at the parks the whole vacation.  This may not sound like much, but when you are feeding nine hungry people, restaurant meals can be a HUGE part of the cost of your vacation.  By having such easy access to the house, we often went home for lunch and/or dinner, then returned to the parks in the evening.  I can't tell you how many $6.00 cheeseburgers we avoided by doing this, but I know it was a lot.  Plus, we could provide a lot better variety and nutrition for the grandkids and ourselves than we could get at fast food restaurants.
        In all, we had a wonderful time.  You can be sure that our friends will all be hearing about The Great Family Vacation Rentals and how you made our family vacation so special.
Sincerely,  Phil and Jane King
 


Paulette and Lee,
Thanks you so very much for the use of your beautiful home. We so enjoyed our week and can hardly believe it has come and gone so quickly ( though we knew it would !!). We keep saying "I wish it was a week ago today....." At any rate, we will definitely stay at your house again the next time we visit Disney -- what a wonderful spot ! We had a number of people ask about it (even people waiting in ride lines when we talked about accommodations) and have given out your web site address (in particular to a couple in New York we met in a line who was paying double our weekly price for one room at a discount hotel !!) Thank you again for everything - my mother and father-in-law thought you were terrific  !!!
Sincerely,
Kim
 


Dear Lee and Paulette,
 
We just returned home today and are exhausted but very happy! The villa was such a big hit with everyone - the pool went down really well with the kids! It wasn't just that it was a nice place, it was the effort and attention that you put into our stay that made it even better. We wanted to thank you both for giving us a great holiday.
We will certainly recommend you to any of our friends that might be coming out there. Maybe we will even get out there again sometime ourselves!
Thanks again and say Hi to Mickey for us!
Thanks
Wendy
 


Hi Paulette,
It was our pleasure spending the week at your home. It is a beautiful home and the location is perfect. I have been telling all my friends about the house and if they were planning to make a trip to Disney World they
should call you to see if the house is available. Thank You Again Carol Ann
 


Dear Paulette & Lee,
I wanted to express again how much we enjoyed our vacation.  The house was
the perfect thing for us.  It saved us a lot of expense when it came to dining & water fun.  Which of course was the purpose of renting a house instead of staying at a hotel.  It also allowed us to spend time with family that we normally don't see much of considering we live in two different states.  Since returning to work, we already have had several people ask us about the houses you have available.  I have made many copies of the flyers you sent to me which include all of your homes and have passed them out. Again, thanks for the great time and I'll continue to spread your homes around Virginia & Maryland.  And remember, if you ever plan to visit our historical area, Ed would be more than glad to provide you with the best view in town.  From the Boar's Head Inn Balloon.
Sincerely,
Janet
 


Hi from England
Lee/Paulette,
Sorry it has taken so long to send this. Thankyou for your hospitality. We all had a fantastic time in your home and cannot wait until we can do it again. We have already started planning for 2003. The kids have vivid memories that I am sure will stay with them and Alex goes on to anyone who will listen about the "huge swimming pool in the garden". See you in three years
Steve, Shirley, Alex and Sophie.
 


Dear Paulette:
Thank you for the return of my deposit from the rental of your Tropical  Getaway #2 for the week of May 6.  the house was exactly as you promised and our family thoroughly enjoyed it.  There is no doubt that any further  trips to your part of the world will include renting one of your homes, even if only Bob and I are going.  I have already give your information to friends who are looking to do something similar to us so you may be hearing  from them in the not too distant future. Good luck and our best to both of you.                    Liz
 


Paulette and Lee,
Now that I'm back at work (boo hoo) and somewhat into my boring daily routine, I wanted to send this  e-mail to let you know we had a GREAT time at Disney.  The house was absolutely beautiful . . . we're actually planning another vacation, but probably not for 2-3 years.  We would like to stay at one of your homes again, so please keep me on your e-mail list.  Both of my children want to move to Florida to live with Mickey.  Anyway, thanks for all the helpful tips.  We had a truly wonderful vacation and are anxiously awaiting our next trip!  Have a great day.
Dolly
 


Hello Paulette & Lee!!
Just want to let you know how great our stay was. Of course the parks and attractions were excellent but I can't tell you how pleased we were with our accommodations! The house was everything you said and more. There is always some apprehension when making arrangements for vacation without seeing the property. I'm quite sure almost everyone has a horror story or two about over embellished brochures but in this case you folks really provided what you had promised. We will be sure to forward your name to anyone who is interested. Thanks again and we hope to see you again in the not to distant future!
 Sun-cerely,
John and Jane
 


Dear Paulette and Lee:
Thanks Again for the great time in Florida!  We truly missed the house the last 3 days , even though we stayed at a Suite Hotel ( 3 rooms), it still wasn't the same as having the hot tub and pool right outside our door. Katie kept asking when are we going back to the house instead of the Hotel. She really had a great time and got to see Mickey several times. After renting your house and this being our first experience at this sort of thing, it is  certainly something we will want to do again. The Privacy was great and such a quiet neighborhood-- we truly relaxed and enjoyed the Florida Sun! You asked about using us as a future reference and that certainly would be fine, I know from time to time dealing on the internet people wonder if it for real or not; certainly would be glad to help you any way possible!!! Again, Thank You and we appreciated all of your Hospitality!  We may be checking with you later for a fall trip!
Sincerely,
Denny, Linda and Katie
 


Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much we enjoyed our stay  at your rental.   We are just now starting to get rested up from our trip.  It was a great time, but also a very busy time.  We especially liked the personal touches, such as the directions to various parks, best places to grocery shop, etc.  If I hear of anyone planning a vacation to Orlando I will most definitely recommend that they stay at one of your properties.
The Cole Family
 


Dear Lee and Paulette
We arrived home back in the UK yesterday after the holiday of a lifetime.  America was everything we hoped and more.  There was just so much to see and so little time.  Your home made a huge contribution to our enjoyment.  Thank you.  I have received the deposit cheque already!  Service indeed. Many thanks again for your professional and friendly service. 
Kind regards,
Karen and Chris
 


Lee and Paulette ... Thanks for helping us enjoy our trip. The house was >just perfect. We'll do it again soon, I hope!!!!
Magnificent Vacation


Hello Paulette!!! This is Leighann and this will probably be my last e-mail, unless of course we arrange to stay with you again in the near future..Needless to say, we enjoyed our stay in your lovely vacation home and everything was in divine order!! I think what was such a pleasure for me was to have seen it all on the internet and taking a chance that it was all real, and not a scam, and then to find out in fact everything was right on target!!!We've never taken a vacation from off the web and we vacation at least twice a year (my husband and I alone, and then a family get-a-way), we've done cruises and all inclusive resorts and rented houses before. I was so pleased to have found something so nice through the web..Thank you for being one of the "true" patrons of the internet and again thank you for renting your home to us..I took a business card from the plastic holder on the living room tv to have as a reference and share with others..I was sure it was something that could be replaced...God bless your future endeavors
and thanks for the pleasant memories!! So long for now!!
~~Leighann~~
 


 Thank you.  We had a wonderful time and it is a Vacation our little ones will never forget.  Our trip home was uneventful, which Is the best kind.  Your home is so comfortable and we will certainly Recommend it to others planning a visit to Disney.  Again, thank you for your hospitality and also the wonderful cookies!
 


Paulette,
We arrived home safely and very tired. We had a great vacation. The kids haven't stopped talking about it and your house worked out great. It is a beautiful home and in a perfect location to enjoy Disney. The kids loved the pool and the adults really enjoyed the spa at night after the kids went to bed. We plan our next day while in the spa having a glass of wine. I would highly recommend you and your homes to friends and family. Thanks again for all your help.
Michael
