 "We just returned from our vacation. We loved Mickey's Magic Getaway. We had several days of rain, but had many activities available in the house to keep the kids occupied in doors. It was nice to access to items, such as coolers and beach chairs, that made it easy to visit the beach as well as the theme parks. Having the pool and spa available at all hours was so nice after a long day at Disney. We went swimming several times well after dark and had a blast swimming in the lighted pool. Lisa was extremely helpful in preparing this surprise for my children. We can't wait to return!" - Stacey Arnold, Alexandria, Kentucky, 10/20/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We are now coming to the end of our stay and I have to say that the house exceeded all of our expectations. From start to finish, the process was seemless Lisa was a great help. When you are booking a property thousands of miles away, you always worry. DON'T, it is easy. Living in the house was really a home from home, so I now need to get a bigger TV. In summary, I cannot praise the house and the owners enough, it and they were great. Many thanks Lisa and Byron" - Neil Hardie, Glasgow, Scotland, 07/22/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

When we come to Orlando again, you are first on our list! Two old Snowbirds." - Anonymous, LaSalle, Ont., Canada, 04/27/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Dear Lisa, What a beautiful home you have, my kids and I were able to relax and really enjoy the pool. We were able to finally enjoy the hot tub on our last day once the temperature was fixed. We will definitely look forward to returning next year. You have been great!!! Sincerely, Andrew" - Anonymous, 07/03/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We stayed in this fantastic vacation home in June 2008. Our boys, ages 8 years and 15 months, had an amazing time and loved swimming in the large, private pool, playing with the toys supplied, and hanging out in the Disney-themed bedroom, complete with bunkbeds and a Mickey Mouse TV. The house is only a few minutes from all of the theme parks and attractions that Orlando has to offer, but far enough away that you don't have to hassle with traffic or crowds....which after a few days at Disney is a relief! My husband and I enjoyed the scenery, all the comforts of home, and the privacy that the villa offered. The home is exactly as described and pictured on the website (if not more) with no detail forgotten. I've already recommended this home to several close friends and family members, and I HIGHLY recommend it to you as well. Lisa is a complete professional and a dream to work with, she will help ensure that you have a memorable vacation and will put your mind at ease." - Rachel , Dallas, TX, 07/01/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
 "May 2008. What a GREAT villa. Perfect location, all the amenities my family needed (and more). My kids loved the pool, my husband enjoyed playing golf and I got to relax. What a great vacation. We will be back soon. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. The Gessner Family " - Jen Gessner, Bristow, VA, 06/07/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We stayed at this lovely home April 2008. We have been to Florida many times and enjoy renting homes in Highlands Reserve. This one is very nice and it was fun to watch the golfers just outside of the lanai as we were eating breakfast. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We had a great time. Our son especially liked the video games - made him feel just like home! thanks, The Leafe family" - Karen Leafe, Manchester NH, 06/01/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We just spent a week in this beautiful villa home. We have been doing villa rentals for years and Lisa, provided exceptional service to making our visit, although always too short, a great time. The home is warmly decorated. Lots of baby equipment in spacious closet areas for our use. Very Quiet. We even received a few welcome gift packs within the home. That is something never seen in a villa rental. And the beds. top of the line.., I never woke up with a backache. Thank you again. My best regards, Marlys" - Marlys & Family, Wisconsin, 12/01/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had an absolute lovely time at Mickey's Magic Getaway. We stayed at the Villa from October 6-13, 2007. The weather was so hot that we so appreciated the luxury of having our own pool. At the end of a long day visiting parks, there is nothing better than dunking into a wonderful hot tub(which we did nightly). The BEAUTIFUL home offers more than we could ask for - lots of room for everyone to move around in(we are a family of 4). I cannot say enough about this glorious vacation home. It was the best way to vacation in Disney!" - Barbara Merrick, Kingston, MA, 10/18/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Absolutely beautiful villa, with all the comforts of home. Plenty of games and entertainment for the children, and a very child friendly place to stay. The pool and spa pool were wonderful, especially in the scorching hot Florida sun.Tastefully decorated and all maintained to a high standard. Many thanks to Lisa and Byron for the 3 weeks we had in their wonderful home. Highly recommended." - Tracey Hucker, Gwent, South Wales., 09/08/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
 "We stayed at Mickey's Magic Getaway from June 12 - June 17. This house is absolutley wonderful!! It was so much more than we expected. We enjoyed the comfort and luxury of the house and especially enjoyed the pool and hottub. We were out of the house a lot having fun at the area parks but looked forward to coming back to the house every night. We will be back. Thanks for everything." - Teresa Goodpaster, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, 06/21/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We stayed at Lisa's home May 14th to 17th, 2007 and had a wonderful time. The home is the most comfortable,well equipped vacation home we have ever stayed in. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and are warm and inviting. Our family of 10 people never felt cramped. The kids were well entertained by the video games,table tennis,foosball,games and puzzles. The pool area is spacious and quite serene. A recommended way to start the morning...Get up before everyone else, warm up the hot tub, slip in and enjoy a mamosa while taking in the peace and quiet of the beautiful surroundings. Lisa and Byron have a beautiful home and have thought of absolutely everything to make your stay enjoyable and worry free. We are looking forward to our next stay. Lisa and Byron, thank you for sharing your lovely vacation home with us. The Harris Family Port St. Lucie,FL" - Debbie Harris, Port St. Lucie, FL, 06/14/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a wonderful time at Lisa's house. What a great place it was for 2 families to spread out, relax and enjoy each other. I hope we get to return in the future and I would defintely stay here again. The weather turned out to be unusually cold, but we still enjoyed the hot tube and heated pool!" - James & Stephanie, Warrensburg, MO, 12/03/06( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home. It had everything we could possibly need and more. Lisa and Byron have thought of everything. We all thought the hot tub was fantastic, especially the boys after a hard day playing golf! We have visited Orlando 6 times now and this was by far the best villa we have stayed in, the location was perfect. Chris and Geoff were very friendly and helpful and were on hand if we needed them. We visited a few of our favorite parks but this holiday will be remembered most for the relaxing time we all spent around the pool and in the villa. We really did not want to leave and hope to return soon. Highly recommended. " - Alison Dickens, England, 08/13/06( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We took our first ever family vacation with our closest friends and all of our kids. We had a wonderful time at the parks, but an even better time hanging around the house. The kids (all boys) always had something to do (xbox, ping pong, swim, etc). We never had to hear "There's nothing to do!". The Whittles and Lisa were wonderful. They are easily accessible and were helpful with all of our needs. The guys played a round of golf at Highland Reserve. It was affordable and according to them, a pretty good course. We went to the four main disney parks and Islands of Adventure. (We had the best time at Islands of Adventure.) The drive to the parks is not bad at all. We were given A LOT of tips and suggestions for our trip. We have one tip to share with y'all: if you plan to buy Disney goodies at one of the discount shops on 27 or 192...just pick one and go to it. They may all look different, but they are ALL the same. Do not waste your time. Lastly, enjoy the house and relax a little, it is wonderful. We are worse than the kids, saying "I don't wanna go home, I don't wanna go home". **Highly recommended!" - Angie, Lake Charles, LA, 06/24/06( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
 "We usually stay at a WDW resort when we come to central Florida, but this time I wanted to try something different. I was somewhat skeptical about renting a house, but all that changed with the excellent communication and service that Lisa provided. I would have to say that the property offered us privacy and comfort that you could only find in the most luxurious resorts or rentals. I would recommend this to any responsible party that was looking for a place to stay in Central Florida. Tip: Don't try to do too much in a short amount of time. I came home completely exhausted, but the kids had a blast." - Jim Neuendorf, Indiana, 02/12/06( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We were very surprised to have a package delivered in America which was addressed to us! Katie (9) and Hannah (8) couldn't believe it and waited eagerly whilst we opened it. They were delighted to see the lovely box and its contents ... particularly with the pumpkin design! As you may be aware we don't "do" Hallowe'en with quite the same gusto as you and both girls were excited to be in the States when Hallowe'en was happening. For ourselves, my husband, Nick, and I thought this was a lovely and most unexpected touch which made us feel lucky to be staying in the home of someone so thoughtful. It really wasn't necessary, but we did truly appreciate your sentiment. We had a wonderful visit and thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful home and its surroundings. The Whittles made us very welcome and spoke knowledgeably of the area and comfortingly of the weather! Hopefully we shall have another opportunity to visit sometime and we certainly know where we would like to base ourselves!(Of course, your lettings will be booked up so far in advance we may never make it through the front door again!) We wish you well with your investment and thank you for making such lovely memories for us." - Alison , Scotlan, 11/08/05( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
