Once again, lovely to spend our holidays at your house. We continue to love it and will be looking to return next year around our usual time. Thanks so much for keeping it so lovely for us to return to year after year. Janet A. Scotland, UK
Great place to bring family or business travel. Kevin E, California, USA
What a beautiful home! As soon as we opened the front door we felt instantly at home. The house was clean, bright and very nicely decorated. Everything was as described....the master bed was heaven after a long day at the parks. I would, and have, recommended Lakeside Magic to everyone I talk to. Jackie R, Canada
'A well equipped villa in a beautiful setting with a little extra privacy from the surrounding villas. A most enjoyable stay.' Graham & Rosalie M, Essex, UK

Very nice neighbourhood, the kids loved the place, they didn't even want to go to Disney!!

The house was awesome, the kids loved the pool. Was a very nice place to sit back and relax after a hard day of walking at the Walt Disney Resorts. We caught quite a few nice bass out of the lake. Great TIME!!! Zabrina B, Canada

General accomodation is of a very high standard. It felt like being at a home away from home. Our stay was perfect, we had everything we needed. The accommodation felt luxurious and homely. The personal touches we receieved (birthday card and a bottle of bubby) were extremely thoughtful and made for a very special and memorable holiday.

Lakeside Magic did exactly what it said on the tin! It provided a beautiful, comfortable base for a magical holiday. Thank you! Merryn H, Herefordshire, UK

How clean and cared for the house was and the nice message left for us by the owner. We would love to make a return visit. Paul T, Northampton, UK
Hi Carol We had a great time - loved your villa - very clean and homely. We had several villas in Europe before and liked yours the best by far.

We will defo go back again but think we'll need 2 weeks next time - one week not long enough. Thanks again we loved your villa and will be back again next year, many thanks Ross H, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

We had a wonderful vacation and thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. The house had all the amenities we needed and then some. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Sitting out by the pool overlooking the lake was so relaxing.

Your web site has an excellent description of the home and what to expect. This is the first time we travel to Florida and rent a home and it was by far the best. When we head back down, we will be sure to check the availability of your home. Thanks again! Laura C, New Hampshire, USA

'First of all...WE LOVED YOUR HOUSE!!!! Well to be honest...it is such a great place of peace! Everything there what we needed and even more! You know the great thing is that now..when we go back to Orlando we dont need to search for a home anymore!! We will ask you first...because we definatly loved it and enjoyed all the stay there but also the whole experience we made prior our departure. Friends had rented a different villa and they almost cried when they saw how and where we lived...and we were so happy with our decision. It was perfect...one can not say something different! Thank you for making this experience so great and our vacation so perfect!!! Simply the complete home with everything! All is so well decorated and so perfectly equipped! What should we say...for us it was perfect!' Diane H-T, Luxemburg www.adoption.lu/index1.htm
'Thanks once again for such a lovely holiday. The villa and its facilities are of such high standards and we were well looked after by the management company and community employees. It's a great location, close to everything but still quite private.' The Ivings Family, Exeter, UK.
'I just wanted to thank you for providing such a wonderful home for our vacation! Everything we could think of was provided. The linens were plentiful and the towels were so plush! With a party of eight we never felt crowded. The home was beautifully decorated too! You made our trip to Disney World a perfect vacation! So glad we found your website! The entire experience was wonderful. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. Everything we needed for a wonderful and memorable stay was there. My family loved the home and the special features. Thanks so much.' Tricia D, Louisiana, USA
'I was just sending you an email telling you thanks so much for letting us stay in your lovely home. We had a great time and enjoyed the pool. It was everything and more than we expected. It was perfect and way far more than you could expect. Once again thanks so much.' Robert W, Missouri, USA
'I wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Your home is beautiful. We wish we had stayed two weeks.The house was perfect in every way. Hopefully we will see you again next year. Thank you.' Brian W, Massachusetts, USA
'Your web site is excellent and the virtual tour is what realy sold us on this rental. You are taking a chance on booking a place over the internet but your web site gave us an easy mind. We had a good experience with Lakeside Magic. Nice clean place, everything you need is provided. Caretakers were great and very helpful'. Brenda K, Newfoundland, Canada
'Just a short note to let thank you for your hospitality and the wonderful accomodations. We had a wonderful week and look forward to coming back one day soon'. Val & Cam W, New York, USA

'Anyway, just to sum it up it was a perfect, fantastic holiday. Your villa was ideal, in a fantastic location and beautiful surroundings.

You had catered for everything, from the directions between airport and villa, other local information and down to the finest detail in your home. We couldn’t honestly think of anything that you had not covered, it was well equipped, clean & tidy. Anyway, thanks again, we hope to save up for another trip to Florida in your home.' Deborah C-B, Cheshire, UK

'Apart from there not being enough hours in each day, it is hard to imagine what else you might have done for us. The villa was the perfect base in a quiet residential area in the countryside of Florida. It was truly wonderful and the perfect refuge from the hectic pace of the parks. A heartfelt and warm thank you from everyone who stayed in your home.' Keith J, Leeds, UK
'Real home from home which is excellently equipped for families and provides a relaxing base for a fun packed Florida vacation.' Lisa N, Nottinghamshire, UK

'It has been a pleasure dealing with you' Nancy & Rudy S, Pennsylvania USA

'Thank you for the attention to detail of your home. As a mother with 3 boys under 10 yrs. it was like home from home but with the added bonus of being by the pool and enjoying Florida. I would not consider spending my time in a hotel after seeing the difference of staying in a villa. The privacy, space and security all adds to it.' Yvonne A, London UK

'We thank God that we had such a great place to recuperate from our accident. If we would have had to go to a hotel it would have been uncomfortable. Other family members did enjoy the comforts of home while being sooooo close to all the attractions.' Becky & Tony T, Indiana USA    Becky, Tony and some of their family were sadly injured in a serious road accident on the way to their vacation in our home. They are in our thoughts and we wish them a speedy and full recovery.

'If you are looking for a peaceful holiday, then this is the place to stay. Neighbours on one side only, overlooking a lake. What more could you want. We have been to Florida a few times before, all lovely homes, but this has been the most tranquil.' Tina B, Kent UK

'Just to let you know we had a great time and the villa was excellent. It's nice to know the standards are the same as what we have at home. Thanks again for everything, your home made for a special stay and I will be recommending it to friends in the future.' Karen D S - Tyne & Wear UK

'Thanks very much for providing us with a fantastic holiday home. The children particularly loved the pool. We would recommend your home to anyone!' Julie & John L, Hertfordshire UK

'Needless to say we once again had a fantastic time at your villa. Pool furniture was just the best!!! Well done, what a purchase. And I could see all the little bits and pieces of "tarting up" that you had been doing - all adding to the feeling that it was like a 2nd home.' Janet A, Scotland UK Want to see Janet's comments from her previous trip?

'We have had another wonderful trip to your home. The house looked wonderful with the things that you have added. It is such a peaceful place to stay. I really enjoy early mornings out by the pool. For as many people that go in and out of the house it really looks good. I must say you did pick a great location to build. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation!!!'

'...I did not want to come home. Your home is beautiful. Everyone enjoyed themselves, now I have another person interested in renting your home. I have already recommended this home for future rentals and can't wait to go back and stay again.' Rosemarie A, New Jersey USA

'We had a wonderful vacation! The house made our stay in Florida perfect! We were able to use the directions left in the home notebook to find our way to all the attractions and local restaurants. We were able to relax on days we wanted to and, even on cool days, we could swim with the pool heat we had set up.
We love to eat out but it was also nice to have a full kitchen to prepare meals at the home. It really added to the "at home" feeling and saved money too.
I would recommend your rental home to anyone who was interested in having a great vacation, with all the conveniences of home and the added luxury of a private pool & jacuzzi. Thanks again for a great vacation!'
Sherry W, New York USA

'We loved our stay at the home and would love to come back!' Anne C, New York, USA

'...it was perfect. We had a wonderful holiday - the pool and its outlook were so good that we didn't want to tear ourselves away from it.' Janet A, Scotland, UK

'First of all, your home could not have been better in any way. It was perfect!!!! We had a great time....We did not have a good experience with the hotel we stayed at on Saturday & Sunday. It was very dirty. We wondered then, what we would face on Monday going to your home.
What a wonderful surprise we had in store for us. I cannot say enough good about your home. There is not a thing that could be improved upon. It was very, very clean. In fact we had bought tickets for Disney World on Sunday before we went to the house. After we arrived at your home, we all just looked at each other and said, do we have to go to Disney or can we just stay and enjoy this home?We would go (to Disney) in the morning and stay until 3 or 4, then go back to the house and enjoy the pool. We could not have asked for more.... I am not sure how with so many different people staying in your home, it can be kept so neat and clean, but it was.
Thanks again for sharing your lovely home with us, you helped to create some great memories...
We will be spreading the news about your home to all of our friends. We all agreed that when we make another trip to Florida, you will be the first person we contact.' Steve W, Indiana, USA

'We really enjoyed our stay and the house is beautiful and the lake with the cranes were so interesting....We were already wondering about renting the house next year... You were so good about responding to us that made it so easy for me.' Debbie L, Oklahoma USA Wondering about Debbie's comment about the lake with the cranes? Please click to see!

In case you were wondering...these are 'our' cranes - Sand Hill Cranes

They are definitely not the construction type and are regular visitors to Lakeside Magic!
