"We cannot begin to tell you how absolutely thrilled we all were with your fabulous villa. Everything was just perfect. I’m something of a “clean freak” but I have to say that I had absolutely no complaints about the Dolphin Song Villa. Thank you for making the arrangements so easy and our holiday truly memorable. We very much look forward to returning again and wish you continued success for the future. You deserve it.”

"Thanks for letting us stay at Dolphin Song Villa. We enjoyed the pool daily and the break from the crowds. The kids were thrilled with their personal TV’s and playstations. It was most enjoyable to have the lounge TV for the adults ! HOT TUB was very hot and pool a pleasant temp.

Thanks for supplying the laundry detergent, garbage bags, coffee filters etc. Other rentals, we have had to supply all of that ourselves. Movie selection is fantastic. We will recommend your villa to others for future visits

"After a wonderful 2 weeks in the villa we’re off home to the rain and cold ! We’ve had too much fun to describe here and it’s been great having such a great base. The kids would have spent 2 weeks in the pool and never gone anywhere else ! We hope that everybody that follows after us has as much fun and enjoyment as we did."

"We have now landed home safely, and we both wished to thank you for letting us rent your beautiful villa. Having stopped in many different villas in the past, we can say that without a shadow of doubt, yours has been the best.

We found Dolphin Song to be in a superb condition on arrival. It was nice to see that you insist on standards, I think this is very important. The pool was fantastic and we loved the plants around it.

All in all we had a great relaxing time, and would like to think that we could book Dolphin song next time we need an Orlando Villa. Once again Thank you

"Fantastic accommodation. We couldn't have wished for anything more. Everywhere was so clean, tidy and well stocked with all the little things that make a real home from home. The kids had a brilliant time and were really spoilt for choice between the game consoles, the computer and the hundreds of films to keep them entertained. The pool was superb and very well used by all and the adults certainly appreciated the fabulous hot tub. Rest assured, we will be recommending Dolphin Song Villa to all our friends and family and hope to be back ourselves in the near future."

"Our initial impression of Dolphin Song can be summed up in one word: "Wow!" The villa is beautiful, and it certainly stands out from the neighbouring properties. The area is lovely and peaceful. There was a great sense of space within the villa, the beds and furniture were exceptionally comfortable, the showers were wonderful and the colour scheme calm and soothing throughout. We appreciated the access to email, the BBQ and the wide array of films that were available. It was also very reassuring to have Susan [property manager] at the end of the telephone line, should we have any questions or issues."

"We had never been to Disney nor rented a private home before for our vacation. We have always stayed at hotels. I searched over numerous homes that would accommodate our needs. The presentation of Dolphin Song caused me to inquire further. Everything from the time I inquired about the Dolphin Song to the day that we arrived was really great!!

Chris he made sure we had everything we needed, including the things that I didn't think of to ask. He was so very helpful and treated us like a member of his family.

Once we finally arrived at Dolphin Song my family, husband and I were so very excited. Everything that was promised and more was there for us to enjoy. The pictures on the web site show the Dolphin Song as a very beautiful place, but it was even more beautiful in person. Plus, we were so thankful of the choice we made versus some other family members choice to stay in a Disney hotel.

Our stay was like being at a very beautiful exclusive resort but at the same time with all the comforts of a luxury home. We really were disappointed when it was time to leave, but we will definitely be coming back to stay at the Dolphin Song."

"This was our first holiday in Florida and the villa was a tranquil place to return to after busy days at the parks. The spa was great and the kids loved the pool so much there were days they would rather play in the pool than go out. Inflatables were a good idea and we added a rubber dingy to your collection along with some dive rings which were used to help their underwater swimming, which came on great. The PS2's in the bedrooms were of great benefit to give the children some chill time and in doing so gave the adults a welcomed rest to chill out too!"
Party Name: Clay
From: Halifax, United Kingdom

Comments:
"Just thought I would let you know that the Clay family has returned home safely after 3 fabulous weeks at the Dolphin Song Villa. We have had a wonderful time at your villa, the many extra touches such as the PS2s, DVDs and Videos kept the kids entertained early morning and me entertained late evening. 3 weeks still does not seem long enough and we are already thinking of our next trip, so I will be in touch.
I think the video and photos on your web site nearly (not quite) do the villa justice, but one thing you are under ‘selling’ is the location. For people like me who know the area reasonably well it would be a great selling point that to get to Disney you don’t need to go on the 192 (only across it) or the I4, with all the back roads and short cuts
Great pool and Spa, heating was well worth it. Many thanks

"I would just like to echo with others in your guest book, that the photos on your website do not do your villa any justice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your villa. There were no problems at all booking "Dolphin Song " villa, absolutely everything you can think of to make a holiday special was taken care of .The playstations and DVD's etc kept the kids entertained. The pool and the "hot spa" were a perfect end to a day at the parks. This was our eighth visit to Florida, and we will be back again, God willing."

"Once again, thank you for a magical time at Dolphin Song Villa - it was very much a home from home for the two weeks. We feel re-assured with the villa and the location and hope that we can continue to be one of your "regulars" for many years to come. It is a real downer being back home, but we have the memories of an unforgettable two weeks which has only made us hungry for more. We sincerely hope that you will remain owners of Dolphin Song for the long term, because we have no intention of staying anywhere else for our future holidays in Florida. Please let us know when your diary opens up, so we can look forward to yet another unforgettable trip. In the meantime, our sincere thanks & very best wishes to both of you."

"We can't imagine staying anywhere but a clean, private villa when visiting Florida. Dolphin Song Villa is an excellent place to relax with your family, and is fully equipped with everything you could need. Your home is beautiful and having your own private pool while vacationing is the only way to go ! :) Thank you Chris, for all of your correspondence while booking, and for a GREAT vacation !"

"Our stay at the villa was faultless. The villa was spacious and comfortable and well equipped. It's very well situated in a quiet pleasant location. The travelling to the Disney parks was only a short car journey. It was great to return to a nice quiet locale after the hustle and bustle of the days at the parks, but still only be just a few minutes from a good selection of restaurants and shops. An excellent first time trip to Florida. The kids loved the pool. We look forward to a return trip."

Just a short note to say thank you for all your help in making this such an easy way to arrange a holiday. Your communication has been second to none. You have a lovely home in an excellent location and it has been a pleasure dealing with you and should I later return to Florida I would not hesitate to use your villa and I will certainly recommend the same to my friends and clients. Thank you again from us all."

The mood, the location, all the extra perks (tv's, dvd's, playstation 2, movies, games etc). My children left in tears. It is their best memories. God willing we will be back."

"We are grateful to Chris, Peter and Susan [property manager] for making our Christmas "get away" full of beauty, splendour & elegance. Thank you guys for sharing and allowing us into your home. Home is within the heart : we feel we have achieved heartfelt memorable experiences here at Dolphin Song. As for families, loved ones, so forth occupying Dolphin Song, rest assured it will be an excellent home to escape the fast paced adventures of the parks. Privacy is excellent as well as Dolphin Song's locale. We found ourselves desiring to stay at Dolphin Song more so than visiting the parks. Thank you for everything."

"The last two weeks have been magical and we have had an amazing experience. The villa has been outstanding as we expected, and reflects the superb service that Chris has given us. With 6 adults and 2 children we still have all the space we need, and the pool has seen many hours of service. The best recommendation I can give is that on our return we will be booking our next vacation at Dolphin Song. It gives us everything we need in Florida. Thank you Chris & Peter for a wonderful stay and allowing us into your home."
