 "Hello Lyn We just wanted to thank you again for letting us stay at your lovely villa. It was very spacious and situated in a perfect location to all the Disney Parks. We would definitely like to come back to your villa if we were to visit Orlando again in the future. Best Regards Anisha" - Anisha Samani, London, 01/12/13(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"This was our second visit to Calla Lily with our grown up son and daughter and their partners. We so enjoyed our last stay that we booked again without hesitation. Staying at the villa with it's beautiful views, relaxing by the pool looking over the lake was a true pleasure. Even though we had been to the Disney parks before there was still plenty to do and we even ran out of time to do everything on our wish list this time!We should have booked 3 weeks! We find the villa ideally located,it doesn't take long to get to the main atttactions. Supermarkets and restaurants are only 10 minutes away.It is a real bonus having 3 bathrooms and a laundry room which makes staying with a family so much easier. The villa is both beautiful and comfortable. Booking with the owner is both a pleasure and an uncomplicated procedure. We hope to use the villa again in the near future and have recommended it to friends and family." - Graham Winnicott, England, 11/06/12(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Hello Linda, We've been so busy since we've been back that I haven't had the time to send you an email about our trip. Everyone absolutely loved the house and was pleased with everything! The kids had a great time and it was exactly what all of us parents needed after spending all of those hot days running through Disney and being able to come back to the house and relax. We enjoyed it SO much that we just decided to spend the 4th of July there at the house! All in all we loved every bit of being in your wonderful house and we wouldn't mind at all staying there again. Thank You so much Linda for all of your time and blessing us with your home! May God continue to bless you and your family!

 "We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Calla Lilly Villa. The facilities could not have been better - the whole place is light, airy and feels luxurious. All of the furnishings, bedding, towels etc are of a high quality and co-ordinate beautifully. The area around the villa is quiet and peaceful, whilst all of the Florida attractions are only a short drive away. All in all, we would definitely stay at the villa again if we ever return for another holiday and would certainly recommend it to others." - Chris Tart, London, UK, 06/08/12(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

 "Hi Linda, Just a short note to say thankyou for sharing your beautiful villa with us. There were 11 people (6 adults and 5 kids) staying and it never felt crowded. Spent loads of time in the pool area in the morning and at night - the kids loved it. It was such a pleasure to come back and relax after a tiring day at the parks. We had a wee visit from the alligator one morning which kept the kids from venturing outside the villa !! There were a couple of very minor issues but Tony and Jan ensured that things were fixed straight away. It was an amazing holiday for all of us and the villa just made it that little bit more special. Thank you from :- The Mackenzies (Scotland) and the Mitchells (Canada) x" - Dave Mackenzie, Fife, Scotland, 09/09/10(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Calla Lilly Villa was an excellent choice for our two week holiday. Six adults plus a 6 month and 21 month felt very comfortable and relaxed in this very well equiped villa. There is a lot of space around villa, unlike some properties we saw where the pool backed onto a brick wall ! we had wonderful views of the lake and enjoyed watching the birds, especially the friendly ducks. I would highly recommend this villa for families." - ann outtram, 08/22/10(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Dear Linda, It was truly a lucky, but great choice that I found your house on-line. It was a warm, inviting environment that should be shared and enjoyed by all who are looking for a special place to stay in the Orlando area. My family and I had a fantastic time in your wonderful house. Everything was as promised and I sincerely hope we left it as we found it, with the exception of a week's worth of dirt! We greatly appreciated your notebook on the house and most especially, the directions to Disney World. I doubt we would have found such an easy route on our own. We all loved the pool and I'm so glad that I had paid for the water to be heated. The water was a delightful temperature, as was the spa. It was a great relief to have the pool fence available. The little ones could play outside without any of us worrying about them accidently falling into the water. Again, many, many thanks for the use of your lovely house and everything in it. We loved being able to return "home" after a busy, tiring day at one of the parks, have a family dinner at the dining room table, then put the boys to bed and enjoy the rest of the evening either in the spa or the game room! What fun!! If we come to Orlando again, I know where we'll be staying. Warmly, Eileen and Family " - Eileen Stutman, Huntington Beach, CA, 04/21/10(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Linda, We are loving your house and the pool/hot tub is totally awesome. The kids have been swimming for 3 hours this morning and the hot tub felt great on my legs last night after spending 14 hours at the Magic Kingdom. I am not sure of our departure time tomorrow, but it will likely be early. I think we will be heading to Busch Gardens in Tampa for the day and then heading down to the Florida Keys. Thanks again for letting us "borrow" your home...it has been perfect - so much better than a hotel or Disney Resort.

The game room was extremely amusing and we were very entertained, I’d rather be in this house than a movie theatre! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade right?, but when life gives you a house to rent, STAY IN LINDA’S HOME! May God bless you and this home!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely villa. It was spacious yet felt homely. It was bliss to come back after a long day, have a refreshing swim and shower and a good night's sleep.Graham and I spent a couple of days relaxing at the villa to recharge our batteries as the pace was quite fast. We also had the hottest October weather for many years so the air conditioning was appreciated. Thank you once again for letting us your beautiful villa. We hope we will be able to return to it at some time in the future. Kind Regards Graham and Sharan " - Sharan & Graham Winnicott, Ashford, Kent, UK, 10/14/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
""Wonderful home in Fantastic Location" We were with a group of ten people (6 adults and 4 children) and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Calla Lily Villa! Everything we wish for a great vacation is provided in this wonderful and spacious house. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the villa. Two thumbs up! Also the pool was lovely, especially after visiting all those nearby themeparks around Orlando. A great place to relax. We definitely recommend this house to all our friends.

"Hello Sorry for the delay in replying… We would just like to say we had a wonderful time in Florida. Your villa was perfect in every way. The children loved the pool and were in it every day, they miss it now. The location of your villa is ideal for all attractions, it soon felt like home! We made use of a book you have there with information about the beaches on the east coast, we stayed at St Petes beach for two nights. While we were there we went to “caspersons” beach to collect fossilised sharks teeth! That made a nice changed from the parks. We met the couple from Orlando villa management, They are lovely helpful people, its comforting to know if there are any problems or questions they are available to help. We have only been back home a week, and already our holiday feels like ages ago!.. we all wish we were still there. Thank you again for the use of your lovely villa. xx " - Ian Kelly, United Kingdom, 08/16/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Dear Lyn, Thank you very much for letting us rent your home. I must say after being delayed flying out and then delayed collecting our cars it was a pleasure to arrive at your home, all the stresses of travelling quickly disappeared. We were a party of eight ranging from 14 to 69, including grandparents and in-laws and I must say that at no point did we feel that we were in each others way. The whole house is beautiful and had everything that we needed, and more. The pool is was absolutly great to come home to after a long day at the parks. I must add that your home is also ideally positioned for all the parks, nothing is too far away which is great. A great time was had by all. Dawn.

 "A really modern, spacious and tastefully decorated villa with everything you could want or need. They've thought of everything. A real home from home. It's a nice distance from all the parks and if you don't want to go to the parks, it's a lovely villa to just relax in and sit by 'your own private pool'! Heaven! I would highly recommend Calla Lily Villa. You won't be disappointed." - Paula McMahon, Ireland, 08/01/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hello Linda, We certainly enjoyed our holiday and the 3 weeks just flew by. Your villa was a pleasure to stay in especially once the AC had been rectified. It was great to meet your next door neighbour who has the first villa in Calla Lily and he spoke extremely well of you which is a great credit to you and your family. He and his wife seem to be very nice people. As previously mentioned our stay was enhanced by Jan and her husband (management company) and it was totally reassuring that we had someone in them and indeed yourself that cared. Many thanks once again. At this time we are hoping to go back to Florida next year at a similar time which would be our 3rd visit in as many years (they keep building new rides) and we will be in touch with you as and when dates can be confirmed. Thank you for letting us share your home. Best wishes to you all Trevor & Pam - May 2009 " - Trevor & Pam Langridge, United Kingdom, 06/18/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"A fantastic time was had by all!!! The villa had all the comfort( and more!!!) necessary to accomodate our party from age4-54.The spa pool was a luxury at the end of a busy day at the theme parks.Even better was the wildlife that would appear each morning by the pool door waiting for the toast crumbs! We definitely would come again." - Sharon Standen, Broadstairs Kent, 06/17/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

The villa was just right for six adults and six children. big enough for privacy if it was needed. Loved the 'WILDLIFE' around the lake. Everything was just right, a great time was had by all three families, thank you for providing such a great home from home. Would definatley reccomend to friends Trish, Carl, Charlie & Ben.

"Dear Linda, I am Jane Rapp, Robert's mother and Michelle's mother in law. What a wonderful surprise when we arrive last Tuesday at your home. It is just beautiful. It was comfortable even with all 11 of us there. It was great to be away from the hustle and bustle of the Orlando area, but be able to go participate in activities when we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 2505. The swimming pool was used by all and the little children spent all the time they could playing in the pool. The furnished kitchen was great. My husband brought all kinds of kitchen stuff and did all of the cooking. Needless to say, that being from the frozen north, we ate most of our meals on the patio. We helped to spoil the ducks and enjoyed their antics. Again, we want you to know how lucky we were to be able to lease your house. It was an absolutely fantastic vacation and family reunion!!!! Thank you again for a wonderful home. Our best wishes to you! Jane Rapp " - Jane Rapp, South Sioux City, NE 68776, USA, 01/12/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Linda, Just a short note to let you know how much my family and I enjoyed the use of your home. It was very clean and nicely furnished. The beds were very comfortable and everyone loved the pool and hot tub. Our older children especially liked the games in the game area. We had 11 people in our party and definately had enough space. It was nice having three bathrooms and even nicer having a washer and dryer. Thanks again....I would definately rent Calla Lilly again." - Michelle Rapp, South Sioux City Nebraska, 01/11/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Linda Got back home on Friday and just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic 3 weeks in your house. This was the 4th time we have rented a villa in Florida and your property certainly has been the best by a mile. Really good to return to after a busy day doing the parks. Our teenage boys seemed to spend most of the time in the games room, on the internet and in the pool. Very secluded spot and the quality of fixtures and furnishings were of an exceptional standard. Grass hadn't been cut and your management company contacted us within 24 hours of arriving and sorted this the next day - all very impressive. Unfortunately all good things come to an end and I need to get back to work tomorrow. Thanks again. David " - Davis Snedden, Falkirk, Stirlingshire, UK, 08/12/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hi Linda, Just wanted to drop you a short note regarding Calla Lily Cove. We found the house to be just gorgeous, clean and very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. We had a great week. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept like babies. It was especially wonderful to have a washer and dryer. I came home with clean clothes!!! We had a great time and would rent your home again. The proximity of your home to the parks is awesome. Thank you again. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

 "Hi Linda, We have returned from our trip and unfortunately it's back to the to the grindstone for us. I have to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your fabulous house. It's beautifully maintained and well equipped - it had everything that we could have asked for. One minor issue was that the pool & spa heat was not turned on until Monday of the second week. We met the pool guy that day and he switched it on for us - he said that there was an "error code" on it. That aside, we had a great holiday staying in a great house - I would thoroughly recommend your property to anyone traveling to Florida .

The home was a perfect arrangement for our needs....we enjoyed walking in the mornings with our grandson and family and swimming in the pool nearly every evening. The weather couldn't have been better as our activities were mostly out of doors. The home was well equipped, wonderfully clean and set up well for our every convenience.

The house was so clean and well taken care of and we had no complaints at all. I can't tell you how much we appreciated dealing with someone like you after our experience in Las Vegas last year. We are a middle class working family and we take one vacation a year which we save all year to be able to do. After all the planning and decision making you just hope you made the right choices and this year we certainly did. If we ever decide to do the Florida trip again I will look you up.

 "The Villa exceeded our expectations and catered for our every need. The decor was excellent and we found it an extremely comfortable and well looked after home. We also made great use of the excellent pool and Jacuzzi especially when returning home from days out at the Disney and Universal parks which are all within a short drive away. We would recommend this Villa to both groups of adults and families alike as the well-equipped games room caters for all.

 "Review received by email from Nina and Tom Donnem, Norway. Stayed (1 month) Jan 9th-Feb 6th 2007 Hello Linda! We hope you are well. We safely arrived northern Norway as planned a week ago. This is what we wrote in your guest book before leaving Florida; "For a whole month we have had a great stay in Florida. We had high expectations about the house and we did not get disappointed. It's beautiful and at the same time practical even with the age range from 1,5 to 73 years. The pool, the spa, the game room was what we hoped it should be. The internet access gave us the opportunity to stay in contact with the more central parts of the world, that is of course Northern Norway...... We spent a lot of time in the Disney parks (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT) and Sea World. This is our second time in Florida and it is probably not the last." As you can see we had a great time vacating in Florida and your house. The driving directions to the house was easy to follow. We never got lost during the month we were there. The weather was sunny and warm the first two week, during the last two it varied from 13 to 28 celcius (the highest temperature we got from the tornado, wich gave us a little worry - but luckily it did`t get too close.) We were mostly content about the weather. It was a good temperature for visiting the parks, but some days we wished it could have been a little warmer so that we could have enjoyed the screened patio more. The pool and spa were often used. The spa was espesially comfortable to have in the evenings and during the colder days. The grandmother loved it very much, and we think it worked wonders on her bad legs and hips (combined with a lot of training that we were able to find time to do, not to mention all the walking we did.) Our oldest daughter (7) swimmed like a fish in the pool. Our second daughter (5) learned how to swim during our stay and she also cracked the code of reading. Our little boy liked the pool also, and the spa which he called "aua" because it was a little hot. We visitet the petting farm further north on Poinciana. It was great. Our boy was sick that day and stayed at home with his grandmother, but the girls got to feed, pet, catch and hold a lot of animals. Again, thanks a lot for letting us stay in your Villa. Best regards, Tom and Nina" - Nina and Tom Donnem, Kvaloysletta, Norway, 02/19/07(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"" Well, Hello Linda!!! I can’t believe I haven’t written you earlier, but we got home safely, and of course with it being the Holidays and all, had to quickly settle in. Its been so busy since we got home. So, sorry for the delay in communication!! Our stay in your home was great!!! We all had a great time, and enjoyed your home so much. The house had everything we could’ve wanted, and you have it set up beautifully. My boys didn’t want to leave. It was all we could’ve wished for. If we stayed home (versus going to a Park), we were still busy and had as much fun as going out. The boys LOVED your game room! My parents and siblings had a great time too. It was wonderful to spend Christmas together there. So, thanks again for everything, and I’m glad that we decided to rent from you. I’ve already mentioned our vacation to other friends, and they are interested in knowing about your home. I’ll direct them to your website. Take care, and Happy New year!!

"Hello Linda, Just wanted to drop you a line and say "Thanks!" for letting us rent your house! We had a tremendous time! And, the house was so beautiful and luxurious, as well as being wonderful for the children. The inside fence around the pool was especially wonderful! The children enjoyed the pool and gameroom so much that they actually requested to leave Disney World early to go back to the house! I would definitely recommend your house to other family groups visiting the area. There was enough room for everyone to have fun, and have privacy. My daughter had a terrific 3rd birthday there! I do hope we left everything in acceptable condition. We were rushing after the children to keep them from eating near your beautiful white carpets! Thanks, again, for sharing your enchanting home!

"Linda, We had a very enjoyable stay in your house. It was beautiful and was a great place to relax after our daily theme park excursions. The kids spent all of their free time in the pool, and we adults unwound in the jacuzzi every evening. The view of the pond is also very beautiful, and the kids really enjoyed feeding the pair of Sandhill Cranes that visited us every day. The kids were really hoping to see an aligator in the pond, but the adults were just as happy that there were none to be found! They also had a great time in the game room, playing pool for hours on end. We'll definitely be checking to see if your house is available the next time we visit the Orlando area. I only have one little suggestion for improvement. We arrived in Orlando in the evening, and had a bit of trouble following the directions, especially in the dark. They're very good once you get as far as John Young Parkway, but are fairly difficult to follow up to that point. For instance, at step 7, you can take ramps onto either 528 west or east, and the directions don't specify which way to go. It should specify west. But other than getting lost a couple of times on the way to the house, it was an awesome week, and we're all sad that it's over and we have to go back to work. Thanks again, and we're looking forward to having a chance to live like kings again on our next Florida vacation.

 "Hi Linda, Yes, we all arrived home safe and sound, although we were dragging our feet because we didn't want to leave! I had intended to email you, just had not had a chance. As it is, we have soccer (football) practice in 15 minutes for both my kids, so I will hurriedly tell you want a wonderful place you have! We thoroughly enjoyed the house. It is quite beautiful and very spacious. After being able to have lots of space, I don't think I can ever stay in a motel again! The kids loved having their own rooms, with their own televisions, (a luxury in their eyes as I won't let them have one in their rooms here at home...mean mom!!) They also enjoyed the playstation! Piper, my daughter wants you to know "It Works!" (We had a little trouble figuring it out at first.) Anyway, my mother enjoyed sitting on the patio watching the birds. The cranes visited everyday. The kids fished in the pond and tried to find the alligator, both with out much luck. But they had fun anyway. I have bragged so much about how wonderful your house was that several friends have expressed an interest in possibly using it on future trips. I will give them your email. Ok, I suppose I should go now before we are late. Thanks for your email. Melissa PS The phone in the kitchen needs a new battery. I meant to leave a note, but forgot in the last minute clean-up and packing. " - Melissa Wells, Knoxville, TN, USA, 11/23/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hi, Ms. Burton! I had intended to email you much sooner, but upon coming back home to Maryland, I really got caught up in getting back to business as usual. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my vacation there in Kissimmee, and your home was exceptionally beautiful and inviting. My family was smitten upon pulling into the driveway. None of us really wanted to leave and return to our own homes. On another note, we did encounter a couple of small issues, however I phoned your property manager, Charlotte, and she took care of things. I look forward to visiting the area again next year, and hope to spend our vacation at your accommodations there. The ease of making the arrangements to reserve as well as checking in was excellent. Again, thanks for everything. God Bless, Linda Powell Salisbury, Maryland LPowell646 aol" - Linda Powell, Salisbury, Maryland, USA, 09/09/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hello Linda, I am really sorry for not replying to you at once. Thank you. We all arrived home safely. I came back to work and have been really very busy catching up work. This is the only chance I got opening my emails. I am actually at work still catching up. Fred and I loved your home. My kids loved it too. Your house is very welcoming. As we stepped in it we all felt we were home. We all treated it like our own. One of my husbands sister and family couldn't make it. One bedroom was not touched at all. We would all love to go back to Orlando and stay in your home again. The area is very nice and secure. It is not too far away from everything. We found a big Wal-Mart on 532 and they were open 24 hrs., it was very convenient. There was also the Publix and CVS close by. Thank you for having us. How is the booking for Christmas season? or the March break? I hope you are doing well. Best Regards Alma, Fred and Kids (Perrelli) " - Alma Perrelli, Ontario, Canada, 08/12/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hello Linda We arrived back in Gatwick on Friday morning and returned safely by boat to Belfast on Sunday evening. The holiday was a great success. June and I enjoyed the golf and daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren spent their time around Disney and associated entertainment. Your house contributed greatly to our enjoyment. It was very clean and spacious and all the facilities met our expectations in full. It really is a lovely house and the lanai and the swimming pool were much enjoyed and the safety fencing meant that the adults could relax without having to worry about the safety of the children. Many thanks for providing the BBQ. We all very much enjoyed your beautiful house, the internet was very much appreciated, we were lucky and did not have any breakages and I hope we left the house in the condition we found it. Kindest regards David and June" - David Stewart, Belfast, U.K, 05/15/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Calla Lily Villa, Calla Lily Cove, Crescent Lakes "This property i would love to recomend to all my family and friends. It`s a quiet peaseful area and the house just took my breath away when we arrived, it was lovely decorated by the owner Linda and Carmen Homes which takes care of the visitors on calm and gental maner. I will recommend heating of the pool during the whinter time, when it might be a bit chilli in the Orlando area. We had the best holidays in Calla Lily Cove!"
