Guest Testimonials
Richie,
Thank you for letting us use your condo this week. We
all loved it. My wife's first response was that she
would stay there again, and that after only being there
5 minutes. My kids felt at home and often would say they
wanted to go "home" after a long day at Disney. We loved
being so close to Disney and the pool. We liked the care
that was taken by staff with the pool.
Thank you so much for letting us use your home

Hi Richie:
What a beautiful condo!
God bless.
The kids want one.
They loved it.
I remain impressed with the resort and the security.
All my family enjoyed it.
The kids…OH!
Loved the game room and the pool.
They want to go again soon.
Thanks for all your kindness and attention.
Your property manager called us when we arrived
and when we were to leave to see if everything was ok.

Hi Richie,
We were very happy we could
stay at your lovely condo at Windsor Hills Resort (7th
of May - 21st of May). We felt very safe and happy at
the resort.
And your condo is very big
with a spectacular view! Our son loved the plates and
still talks about it at home :-)
And we also loved the big
pool. Your condo is close to all the theme parks and
close to all the stores. Our son doesn't like driving
around in the car.
So we were very happy that
all theme parks were around your condo.
My mother was very happy
that the building had an elevator!!!
And thank you so much for
answering all my e-mails (and you got many mails from
me).
Thanks for everything, we
had a really great vacation and we hope to visit some
day!!

Richie,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at your condo at
Windsor Hills. This was the first time we have gone to Disney
without staying on property and I have to tell you, it was so
much better than we expected!! The amount of flexibility you
have by staying outside of Disney, but so close was great. We
were able to do everything we wanted at Disney, but also enjoy
many of the other activities in Orlando. We went to Universal,
shopped, played mini-golf, and ate at so many different
restaurants.........it was wonderful!
The condo was everything you put on the website and more. The
layout is spacious with a real "home" feel to it. You have gone
out of your way to make sure the unit has all of the amenities
you could hope for. Other than some food shopping, we didn't
need anything else. From the kitchen to the pool toys, you have
it covered. Guests coming in can feel comfortable that
"everything" is included!!
I have to tell you, I was so impressed, I wished we would have
thought of buying a unit years ago!! Thank you once again and
we'll be looking forward to our next stay with you.

Thank you VERY much for the use of your condo.
Everything was great and we had a WONDERFUL time.
Loved the condo. It had plenty of room for our family to
relax and visit when we were there.
The kids loved the pool and the hours to swim were
perfect.
The distance from the condo to the Disney parking lots
was about 15 mintues which was really nice.
We are already looking forward to our next trip and hope
to return in the future!
Thanks again Richie

Richie:
Just a quick note to thank you for a wonderful week at your
beautifully furnished and very well equipped lovely Windsor
Hills condo. You really have thought of everything to make
your renters comfortable, and your homes proximity to the
Disney parks was such a bonus. The condo looks great
with its freshly painted walls, and the colors are very warm
and soothing. The kids enjoyed the heated pool and jacuzzi
every night despite the chilly air. On our final morning
when I went to wake my kids, they were both sleeping in the
king bed with your entire collection of Disney stuffed
animals surrounding them...quite a picture!
I hope we have the pleasure of renting your home again.
Thanks, Richie.

Richie, Richie, RICHIE!
Just wanted to drop you a note to
tell you that we absolutely LOVED staying at your family's condo
12/17-22. It was a wonderful home-away-from-home and enhanced
our vacation. We respected your property and truly cared for it
as if it was our own! We will definitely rent this condo from
you again on future trips, if available.
We've stayed at other condos in the
area, but yours was the BEST, by far. We appreciated that you
had plenty of dishes, flatware, bake ware & the spice rack was a
nice bonus :)
Check-in was seamless. Your written
welcome packet was very clear and thorough. That was MUCH
appreciated! We didn't have a chance to use the pool as the
weather wasn't as cooperative as we would've hoped but that
didn't deter us from enjoying your property!
Thanks again!!

Hi Richie,
I realized today that I never emailed an 'official' thank you
for our fabulous stay at your condo! When did I realize
it?? When all of my family was sitting around today
talking about how we are all so ready to go back and stay there
again!!
Your accommodations were absolutely perfect. You know that
I was a little hesitant at first renting from someone we did not
know, but you made me feel completely at ease about it from
the start.
The condo was clean, had plenty of room and had everything we
needed to enjoy our week stay. We travelled with a small
child and I was a little anxious about the pack-n-play and high
chair, but it all was just perfect (and he loved all the Disney
characters who greeted him when he walked in!)
My parents slept in the master and wished they could have taken
the bed and shower back to
Texas
with them!
Most importantly, you were so helpful along the way, going above
and beyond to provide me answers to all my questions. I
know for sure we will be heading back to your condo in the near
future.
Thank you for everything,
The Bahn/ Marquardt family

Richie,
We just wanted to thank you for being so great
during the booking of your condo. I have to
say that we LOVED your place and hope to rent again
soon if you have availability. What a great
location too! It was very homey and
comfortable, had everything that we could need and
more. We had a super vacation!!Thanks again &
keep us posted if you happen to have anymore
specials!!
Warm regards,

Richie,
I have been meaning to send you an email since we've
got back. My family and I had a spectacular
time in
Florida, and a large
part of that was due to the condo! It was
absolutely beautiful!! The location of it
could not have been better as well. We would all
really like to thank you for such a wonderful place
to stay at while we where in
Florida!!! We will
definitely be choosing your condo again on our
next visit (hopefully sooner than later.) Also just
wanted to say the beds were amazingly comfortable! I
haven't slept that well in a long time!
Thanks again The Bernabuccis

Hi,
I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you
how much we enjoyed our stay at your condo. We
absolutely picked the perfect unit to rent. It
was everything one could want in a vacation
property. I've been back to work for 2 days and keep
wishing I was back in Orlando -- even if the heat
index hit 110 one of the days we were there!
My sister joined us. It was nice for her to have her
own space. I never would have invited her if we were
in a traditional hotel room.
The whole process, from reservation to check-in, was
far easier than I thought it would be.
Thanks again!

We had a great time at your condo last week....and
you're right, the best location.....view from the
condo & proximity to the pool!
We all had fun at the Disney parks - overall a very
relaxing vacation!

Hi Richie,
I just wanted to send a quick email and let you know
that we absolutely loved your condo and had a
fantastic time! Thanks so much for opening up
your home to families like ours. It was just
perfect! We loved how accommodating it was.
We purchased a little stroller while we were there
and used it at all the parks and added it to the
collection of baby items that you already have when
we left. Just wanted to let you know. My
boys loved playing with all the pool toys that were
in the condo!
Again, everything was wonderful!
Thanks Again,

Richie,
I brought two employees and a friend down ... We
had a conference to attend. We loved the
accommodations. I can’t think of anything that
would have made our stay more pleasurable.
The accommodations were fantastic, the view great
and the grounds beautiful. I think I convinced
one of them that staying in a $175 night hotel is a
waste when you can stay for less in such a wonderful
place. It was extremely convenient when
accessing the parks. We went several days and
did not have to leave so early b/c of the proximity.
Thanks for working with me and providing such a great
place to stay. I have to return to
Orlando
in mid-may for a conference with my software
vendor and am thinking of bringing the kids down.
I would love to return to this condo for
accommodations.
Thanks again for everything...

Richie,
I did want to let you know that we really, really
enjoyed our stay at your condo. I hope that we
will be able to come visit again this year. My
kids had a blast and they loved the pool! They
still talk about our vacation. We came to your
condo for my oldest daughter’s birthday and now my 4
year old wants to go back for his birthday. It
was so much nicer being in a condo rather than a
hotel. The condo was extremely comfortable,
affordable and convenient. Thank you so much
for allowing us to visit!! We'll be in touch!
Thanks

When looking for Accommodations at any holiday
destination it can be cumbersome, overwhelming and
frustrating. My concerns were location, size and
amenities, let alone the fact that I was booking in
high season, Christmas holidays, at the last minute.
Well I lucked out Big Time. Not only did we have the
location that was easy access and a short drive to
Disney World the condo was very roomy and
spacious for our family of 4. Both my kids had their
own rooms and our master suite had a private
ensuite. It was great for us if we just wanted to
hang out and cook our own meals or stay in and not
go to any of the attractions.
The amenities were excellent. The kids enjoyed the
pool, water slides, the movie theater room on site
and the game room. The complex is well designed and
my husband and I enjoyed morning runs and then a
work out in the gym.
We had a great holiday and would like to thank
Richie for accommodating our dates on such short
notice. I will recommend you to my friends for
future stays.

Hi Richie,
Sorry, I thought I had sent you a thank you for our
lovely stay. I must have drafted the e-mail
without hitting the send button. We had a very
nice stay and loved the location and amenities of
your condo. Our kids particularly loved being
so close to the pool and the Playstation. We’ll
definitely recommend your place to friends and
family traveling to
Orlando!
Thanks again!

Hi Richie,
We just arrived back from
Florida
this morning to 1 degree Celsius weather!
Anyway, we did have a great time at the condo. I
wish we had more time to enjoy it. It was great to
have the room to unwind after a busy day at Disney
(we are used to cramming the 6 of us in one hotel
room.) It is a beautiful condo and we thoroughly
enjoyed ourselves.
We'll pass it on to all our friends. Thanks so much.

Hello Ritchie,
I wanted to 'thank you' for our stay
in your condo. It is a lovely
condo in a wonderful resort.
We very much felt 'at home'
with lots of amenities and my
daughter really liked the Disney
characters in the bedroom. The
swimming pool was a hit with my kids
- - my youngest who is 4 years old
had a great time in the shallow part
of the pool. We look forward
to visiting your condo again in the
future.
Warm regards, David and Marie

Hi Richie
Let me tell you that we had a great time in your
condo. It is neat, very nice and your kitchen
is beautiful. It has every thing that one needs to
cook, which I enjoyed very much. I love the
location on the complex and in
Kissimmee. It
is perfect for people that have plans for the parks.
My kids really love the pool and the club house.
I have no words for the furniture, it is really
comfortable especially the master bedroom.
Very nice. I also wanted to tell you that at
Windsor Hills the people are very nice. They
help a lot in everything that we needed. My
little girl loved the kid’s bedroom with all the
Disney furs, Mickey, Mini, Goofy etc. NICE.
I want to thank you for your hospitality and I hope
to come back there in the future.
Thanks and keep in contact.
Sincerely yours.

Hi Richie,
I just wanted to write and thank you for letting us
share your wonderful home! We loved everything
about your place and Windsor Hills. The
pool was great and it was so nice to be in the
building right next to it. Your condo had
every amenity. The bed in the master bedroom
was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on
and the ceiling fan in the bedroom was a nice touch.
My son enjoyed the Playstation 2 and both kids loved
the Disney stuffed characters in their room.
The plastic dishes for the kids and the play toys
for the pool were great also. We loved
having the washer and dryer and the plush pool
towels so we didn't need to pack as much. You
were also wonderful to deal with answering every
question I had. We will definitely stay at
your place again when we come back to Orlando in the future. Please feel free to
give out my email address to anyone needing a
reference or with any questions. Thanks again!

Richie,
I just want too say thank you so much for a great
time. The kids had a blast in the pool and loved
watching movies in the theatre. The adults had
a great time too and we will be contacting you for
next year. The drinks were cold and the view was
spectacular.
Thanks again and talk too you soon.

Dear Richie,
Thank you so much for providing a
wonderful place to stay near Disney.
The condo was wonderful. It is
so large and clean with a great
location. We loved it!!!
It was much more pleasant than
staying on Disney and more
convenient too. My mom also
enjoyed it.
Thanks again,

Richie,
My family had a great time at your condo! The
kids loved the pool, and being only minutes to
Disney was an added plus. It was so nice to be
able to come "home" after a day out, rather than
being confined to a hotel room. I can't thank
you enough for making this entire process so easy.
You were always quick to respond to my e-mail and
offered some very helpful advise in planning our
trip.
I will recommend you to anyone I know planning to
visit Orlando and will hopefully have the
opportunity to do business with you in the future.
Thank you, again.

Happy New Year Richie and Family,
I just wanted to send a quick thank you for all
you've done to help our family plan our dream
holiday in
Orlando. Your
condo was awesome and exactly what a family our size
(4 adults and 2 children) needed. The kids
loved the pool and movie theater as well as all the
Disney characters that greeted in their
room. We loved sitting out on the lanai in the
morning sipping our coffee and tea and being able to
relax in the Jacuzzi after a long day on our feet.
This condo is laid out perfectly. It's
spacious and very comfortable not to mention was
fully stocked with EVERYTHING we needed (even a
crock pot). It was nice to be able to put in
some chicken and ribs before leaving in the morning
and having a fully cooked meal ready for us when we
returned.
A suite half this size was going for over $700 a
night at the Disney Resorts and with Disney being
literally a five minute drive away we really
couldn't have asked for more.
Most of all it was wonderful getting to know you
throughout this process. You took us through
every step needed and answered each and every
question we had. You really helped make our
vacation planning easy and I will gladly recommend
your condo to everyone I know. Furthermore, we
will definitely be back.
This place is turn key ready and the owner is the
nicest guy you could ever meet!
All the best from our family to yours.

Hi Richie;
We really enjoyed our stay at your condo.
There was enough space for our whole family who
could retreat to their own bedrooms. The pool,
slide and hot tub were gorgeous and we used them
every day. The view from your condo is what
sold me on choosing your place to stay in. I
couldn’t wait until morning to open up the blinds.
The condo was also very well equipped with
everything that we could possibly need. Windsor
Hills is just a short drive from all of the Disney
theme parks. We would definitely recommend
your condo as a place to stay when in Orlando to our friends
and relatives. We would also like to come back
for another stay.
With many thanks,
The Mitchell Family,
Whitby

HI Richie,
Well we are back from our wonderful trip to Florida...and already wishing that we
were back there! We came home to 30 and 40
degree temperatures… ouch!!! Your condo just
made our trip so perfect! It is beautiful and
Windsor Hills is so beautiful! We loved the
pool and the kids enjoyed playing ping pong, pool,
and walking to the basketball courts for a quick
game. I loved that it was all with in 5
minutes of Disney. We could go and do all of
the Disney stuff and then come back and truly relax
and feel on vacation in your condo and that
beautiful pool! I can understand why you love
it so! My husband is a Civil Engineer and is
always so busy and this was just a perfect way for
him to unwind! Thank you so much! Also,
I loved the keypad entry; it was nice not to have to
worry about keeping track of keys!
Thank you for having such a beautiful condo!
It was a trip that my family will remember forever!

Hi Richie.
Just a quick thank you for letting us use your
SUPERB Windsor Hills Pool Condo in October. We
really did think this was the best Florida holiday that
we have ever had. Your condo is beautiful and
I believe that we left it the way we found it. It
was perfect when we arrived and we have absolutely
no negative comments at all. Both our daughter
and her friend thoroughly enjoyed the pool and we
thought it great that we could keep an eye on them
whilst they were there. We would recommend yourself,
your condo and your letting company to anyone.
We could have happily moved into a condo such as
yours and lived there forever. It is simply
fantastic. We will be dropping you a line next year
and hoping that you have availability and will
accept us again.
Very best wishes.
Neil, Rachel and Mary.

Richie,
We had a great vacation. My family was very
comfortable with the condo and my husband absolutely
loved it. The girls loved the pool and
couldn't wait to get there every night. We had
a great time. I am sure we will rebook for next year
sometime.
Have a great week and thanks again.

The condo was absolutely fabulous! I'm
always a little apprehensive when renting
a condo online, wondering about things like:
were the pictures on the website actually
taken at the condo I'll be renting? Is
it clean? Are there plastic cups that we can
take to the pool? Blow dryer?
Will I be able to figure out the internet
access? Are the beds lumpy and
outdated? Is the condo in a secure
area? etc. etc. I wasted my time
worrying about ANY of those things.
Everything was perfect! I've
never seen such a well-stocked kitchen and
the beds were heavenly, especially after a
long day at one of the parks. My
favorite time of each day, though, came in
the evenings when we could sit out on the
balcony with a couple of frosty drinks and
enjoy the pool view.
Thanks for a great stay and I'll definitely
be in touch the next time we're headed to
Orlando.

Richie,
I just wanted you to know how much we
enjoyed our stay, your condo is wonderful,
very comfortable and we liked it so much I
will pass it on to anyone I know going to
Orlando. My wife loved it from the minute
she walked in. The king sized bed was very
comfy! We bought and left for you a
beach chair, bucket & shovel and beach
umbrella we used at cocoa beach.
Please keep it as a token of our
appreciation for your last minute
reservation.
Thanks again, we really loved our
stay and your condo!

Hi Richie
I'm sorry it has taken so long BUT
thank you thank you thank you...we
had a truly great holiday at your
villa. It was perfect for our
family. My boys loved the pool and
the games room. My daughter loved
being able to swim anytime and my
husband was just happy because we
were all happy.
I cannot recommend you highly
enough. I have one huge
disappointment that I must just talk
about. I wanted to book with you
again this year in August but I see
you already have a booking!! Never
mind.. I will survive!!
Take care Richie and once again
Thanks

Hi Rich:
We simply loved the condo! I actually
couldn't wait to send you a note commending on how
lovely it was. When we walked in we all said
"WOW"! Having stayed in other places, this was
an excellent choice for us. It was very, very
clean, which is so important (at least to me, the
mom). Everything was as stated on your web
site, and we felt very much at home there. I was in
awe of the dining room table as well.. too pretty to
eat at, but we did. Having the washer & dryer
in the room was truly a help. The kids so
enjoyed the pool, and slide. We would highly
recommend this condo to any of our friends, family,
and anyone else on the Disboards, which we belong
to. Windsor Hills is also in a very
accommodating location, everything is very close,
especially Disney.
Thank for a lovely stay!

Richie,
I just wanted to thank you for all your contact
before we left for our holiday. This had really put
our minds at rest. We arrived to a beautiful
condo with stunning views of the pool area, just as
it shows on your website. The condo was
perfect for my family and in fact the pictures don't
do it justice. It was spacious, clean and
really well equipped. Everything we needed for
a perfect holiday. We traveled with 2 other
families and unfortunately they were not as lucky as
us. I had booked in advance and you kept in
contact with me the whole time. Thank you for
everything. We would not hesitate to book
again.

Richie,
Our family so enjoyed our time at
your condo. Our primary
purpose for coming was to take our
five-year-old to Disney for the
first time. We also had our
nine-month old along and therefore
needed accommodations that would be
suitable for a baby as well. I
spent several hours online searching
the many offerings in the
Orlando
area and decided on your
condo for several reasons,
including:
1. Location - The complex itself is
conveniently located near the things
we wanted to see. Also, your
particular unit is so close to the
pool, clubhouse and front of the
complex that it made for easy
swimming trips (which we managed to
squeeze in at some point every day)
and entry/exit to our destinations.
2. Furnishings - Locating a condo
that could accommodate a baby for a
week was important. The high
chair was brand new and fully
functional, as was the pack-and-play
already furnished in the condo.
Had I selected another unit that
didn't offer these items, I would
have been forced to rent them for
$80-$100 for the week. Also,
we really appreciated the upgraded
furniture, including a queen and a
king sized bed. Our family has
stayed in dozens of rental condos
over the years and found yours to be
the most well furnished and
equipped. We also found the free
internet access and long distance to
be extremely helpful.
3. Communication with You - Getting
on the internet and choosing a place
to stay can be risky and
impersonal. Your willingness to
answer questions and be involved
throughout our stay was priceless.
It alleviated all my concerns
and made our family
feel comfortable and welcome in
your condo.
Again, thank you so much for
investing your time and resources
into making your condo stand so far
above the rest. Our family had a
wonderful visit and made many
lasting memories.

Dear Richie
Well we've arrived home in
England
today - we hated to leave
Florida! We
are so pleased that we made the decision to book our
stay at your beautiful condo - it could not have
been better. The condo had everything we
needed or desired to make our stay comfortable,
happy and luxurious. The setting was great and
we all enjoyed using the lovely pool. We
really cannot think of a single thing you could add
to the condo to improve the experience of your
guests, as it truly had everything anyone could need
- you thought of everything! We even loved the
huge washer and dryer - a little sad we know, but if
you experience the half sized machines we have in
the UK then you'd know what we
mean!!
The entire experience from the very first contact
with yourself to make our booking, through your
helpful and informative emails to us, to the stay
itself was a complete pleasure and we would
definitely book with you again the next time we are
fortunate enough to spend our vacation in Florida.
Thank you so much for all your kindness, we hope to
be able to stay at the lovely condo again soon.
With our very best wishes to you and your family

Richie,
To say I worried needlessly before
we arrived would be an
understatement. Being in my
sixties and not an internet savvy
"gramma" I took a chance on your
integrity ...and it paid off...Thank
You. Your condo was everything I
had hoped for, super clean, nicely
furnished, room for everyone, every
appliance and then some, a great
location near a beautiful pool and
clubhouse, friendly staff and
grounds keepers and close to
Disney.....I could not have chosen
better.....I forgot to mention the
hot air balloons rising every
morning in the distance and the
grandchildren counting them to see
how many there would be each
day.....We were very comfortable
there...........
Thank You Again
Joanna

Richie,
I wanted to let you know what a great time
we had at your condo. There was plenty
of room for all of us and it was nice to
have a place to call "home" while we were
away. Our vacation was wonderful.
Everything we hoped it would be and more.
Again, we had a wonderful time. The
condo is beautiful and we will definitely
recommend it to friends and family.

HI Richie
We just returned home from a wonderful stay at your
place. My plan was to sit pool-side and read
which is exactly what we did! I read 4 books!
The weather was awesome. Your place was perfect!
It was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed
the patio overlooking the pool and were very pleased
to be so close to the pool. We used the gym
everyday and the kids enjoyed the theater and
playing pool. I will certainly consider
another stay at your place and will recommend your
place to friends!!

Hi Richie -
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know
we LOVED your place! This was the
first time I have taken my children to
Disney and I wanted everything to be
perfect. Plus, we were traveling with
another family who always stays inside
Disney. So, I was a little
apprehensive about everyone's reaction to
the condo. I wish I had a camera when
we walked in the door - their reactions were
priceless. We had one 'down-day' and
everyone agreed that we didn't want to leave
the complex - we swam and lounged by the
pool. The little store was great for
the kids to get ice-creams and the gym was
wonderful for me to burn off the ice-creams.
We're already talking about returning next
March and would definitely like to stay at
your place again. We've talked about
the condo so much, we have more friends that
want to come with us next time.
Please let me know when you have your March
2008 calendar available.

Hi Richie,
My family and I had a wonderful time
at your condo, from checking in late
night at 2am – checking out a week
later we had a great experience all
around. The condo was very clean and
conveniently located close to the
pool and the exit of the complex.
The surrounding area was great and
we had an excellent selection of
restaurants and Pubs, not to mention
a great golf course pretty much in
complexes backyard. Also, Disney is
short 5 minute ride away and Sea
World is only 15 minutes away. There
were plenty of towels for the pool
and the pool itself was awesome. All
in all I don’t have anything that
was negative and had a great
experience and would definitely rent
from you again when staying in the
Orlando Disney area. Thanks so much
we all had a great time!!

Richie,
We are back from out trip to Florida and let me start by saying we
had a lovely time at your condo.
It was just great. It is so
nicely decorated and the proximity
to the pool and the views from the
unit are awesome. I couldn't
imagine staying in one of the other
buildings overlooking the parking
lot. As you were already aware,
my parents joined us on this
vacation (for the first time) and
they could not stop gushing about
the place. Its beautiful...
gated community... location... the
pool is gorgeous... the gardens,
wow!! Great place...
thank-you!

Richie:
As for our vacation in your
condo, the only thing that I
can say is that you never
stop surprising us. There
are no words to express our
appreciation for going
through all the trouble of
flying to Orlando only to
make sure we had internet
access. You really make us
feel as if we have a second
home in
Orlando.
Thanks again for
everything. Say hi to
Becky.

We loved your condo! Our trip was very relaxing and
enjoyable. We had been to Disney 4 times before,
always staying on property. We needed more space
this year now that the boys are getting bigger, but
we were nervous about staying off property. We could
not have been more pleased. We actually got to and
from the parks quicker than when we used Disney
transportation. You condo is so very very close to
the parks. We had a great time at the condo. The
kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. My
mom and dad enjoyed the screened in deck. The boys
loved the playground and the pool. My mom has been
telling all her friends how much she loved staying
at your condo, and how easy is was to get to and
from the parks. Thank you so much for all of your
help, the whole process of renting from you was a
breeze. Your quick responses to all of my questions,
made planning our vacation easy. One thing that I
wasn't expecting to be in your condo that was a huge
help was the laundry baskets. It made doing laundry
for 6 people much easier. We rent a house at the
beach each year and have never rented one where the
owners thought to leave a laundry basket, I know
this is a small detail, but one my mom and I
appreciated. My boys also loved the straw cups you
had and the stuffed animals on their beds. Again
thank you so very much and when we get the chance to
visit Disney again we would love to rent from you
again!

Thank you so much for your kind hospitality.
Our vacation was great. We went to
Disney and we were surprised to see the
proximity of your condo to Disney World.
I just don’t know why some people choose to
rent a small room in a value hotel for the
same price of a condo. I had a wonderful
time. I enjoyed my breakfast on the balcony
every morning. I like the view from
the balcony. We can watch the kids at
the pool. I will recommend your place
to my friends .
Thanks again

Richie,
Thank you so much for the great condo to stay in
during our Christmas vacation! The place was
wonderful and hopefully we left it as good as we
found it! Our weather was great and the space
was great. It is definitely a place we will
recommend in the future to others and possibly for
ourselves (if you are still owning the condo in
about 5 or 10 years - it may take us that long to
get back down in the area!).
In case you were wondering, we are a military family
and have lots of friends and family who DO visit the
Orlando
area each year. If you would be
alright with it, we would like to be able to
recommend your condo to our friends when we find out
they are going down there. You saved us a bunch of
money and provided us the conveniences of home.
Even though we rented the unit from you, we feel we
should thank you for opening your home away from
home up for us.
We hope you had a Blessed Christmas and Happy New
Year! Thank you again for your
hospitality.

Richie,
Just wanted to drop you a short email regarding our
stay at your condo. Everything was beautiful.
The boys had an awesome time going back and forth
between swimming in the pool (loved the fact that we
could watch them from the balcony), playing pool in
the game room, and reserving movies to watch in the
theater. The location was convenient and close
to everything. I have already referred you to
one of the attorneys that I work for and told him
that he needs to stay at your condo on his next trip
to Disney. I will be keeping your contact
information handy as well. Will contact you when we
are ready to plan our summer vacation.
Thanks again for everything.

Richie,
Thank you so much for allowing us to
stay at your condo. Your care
and concern for us as your guests
was quite evident in your
correspondence prior to our arrival.
Because of your detail and
thoroughness we knew exactly what to
expect when we arrived at the condo.
We truly had a fun and memorable
vacation and having spacious
accommodations with many of the
amenities of home surely helped.
I’ve already told some friends and
family about your condo. We’ll
be back.
Thanks again,

Richie,
My family of 6 stayed at your condo
for a week in September and really
enjoyed it. The accommodations
were very comfortable and the
location was just right for all that
we were planning on doing. The
property is even nicer than the
pictures on the website. We
had a great time and would recommend
the condo to anyone interested.

Hi Ritchie,
I just wanted to take a moment to
thank you for allowing us to stay in
your condo. We enjoyed it very
much the resort was very nice. My
kids had a great time and the
location was perfect.
Hopefully we will be back again
sometime but in the mean time I will
definitely refer my family and
friends to you.
Thanks again for all your help.

Richie,
The four of us ( my husband Raj and our friends
Desmond and Suzie from Melbourne, Australia), thoroughly enjoyed
our stay at your condo. It was clean, comfortable
and well furnished. Suzie described it as being
"posh". The view of the pool, palm trees,
landscaping and the added bonus of the large pond
filled with water lilies was truly beautiful. We
wished we could have stayed longer. Richie, You have
been an amazing person to work with and I wish you
the very best.

The condo was beautiful. We have a large family and there
was plenty of room for everyone. The kids had a great time
at the large pool. The whole complex is very family
friendly. Great location!!!! Disney is just a few
minutes away and Universal is just 10 miles straight down the
interstate. I can't imagine anyone not loving this great
condo. Thanks for allowing us to stay and have an awesome
family vacation.

Hey Richie,
Wow, what a beautiful Resort and Condo! The sight
outside the window was gorgeous and it was so close to
everything. You really do have the best positioned Condo
of all. Thank you for making everything so
comfortable with the way you got your information out to
me. In the very future I would like to come down
again bringing my whole family to enjoy the Resort,
Condo and easy access in location to Disney!
Thanks Again,

Richie,
Your condo was absolutely beautiful! Very upscale and
clean. Looks like you really chose fine furnishings not
just anything to call the place "furnished". My
compliments to whoever decorated the home. We had just
about everything we needed. The condo is really stocked
nicely, from the water noodles in the laundry area to
the bath rug outside the shower. The pool area was
incredible!!! My kids always wanted to stay at the pool
as opposed to going to Disney! Overall, we would
recommend your condo to everyone. It was so nice and we
have some wonderful memories. Thank you so much for
opening up your beautiful home to us. Dealing with you,
Richie, was so nice. You made me feel confident in my
choice for condo rental. You cover all bases and are
very pleasant. If you rent out any other condos in other
destinations... let me know, I would rent from you again
in a heart beat!

Dear Richie,
Thank you for the use of your beautiful condo
last week. We were very happy with the
clean and wonderful accommodations. The
kids (all 4 of them) loved the pool area and
their bedrooms. We were pleasantly
surprised on the closeness to the Disney parks.
The close proximity allowed us to "take a break"
in the high heat of the afternoon and come back
for a few hours to swim and eat. Your
helpfulness in arranging our reservation was
especially appreciated. We hope to reserve
your place again in the future when we're
visiting
Orlando.
Thanks again for being a part of our Disney
magical vacation!

We recently spent several days in this lovely condo. It
was great. The view of the tropical pool area is
wonderful. Our children loved “their” rooms. My
daughter felt like a princess in the second master
bedroom. The furniture was very comfortable and the
décor was very nice. The location of this condo in
the building is great. It is near the elevators and the
stairs. We were not able to hear any outside noise.
The pool was great. It is large enough so that a large
number of people can be in it at the same time and not
feel crowded. The zero entry area is great for
smaller children. The building this condo is in is
the very first building inside the gate and just past
the pool. The overall location of the resort is
very convenient to all of the Disney parks as well as a
large number of restaurants and shops. The
security staff was very friendly. We could not get
into the pool at first but then realized it required
renting an access card from the Sales office which once
returned our deposit was returned. The condo owner
is great to work with. He really made the process
easier. We will definitely be back.

If
you are looking for a fun vacation with the kids but
would also enjoy some relaxation...then this is the
place for you! The gorgeous condo was very
spacious, a true "home away from home"! The large
washer/dryer was such a nice feature, no need to
over-pack. The pool area was a huge hit with our
family. The kids loved the waterslide! The grounds of
the pool and condo area are beautifully maintained.
The staff at Windsor Hills along with the rental agency
were very helpful. In addition, we purchased park
tickets through the agency. They actually brought
the tickets to our unit, along with a welcome bag
containing park maps, brochures of area attractions, and
trial size products. Richie was very helpful &
always answered questions in a timely fashion. I will
definitely rent from him in the future & highly
recommend it to everyone.

Kelly and I want to let you know that we REALLY enjoyed
staying at your condo. It was far more than we
expected. It was perfectly located, clean, large,
well furnished, and we really enjoyed the pool. It
was so close to Disney that we were able to visit the
parks in the morning, drive back to the condo, eat
lunch, take a nap, and return to the parks in
the evening refreshed and ready to go. We had a
great vacation, and we want to thank you for opening
your second home to us.

Condo is approximately two miles from Disney. Condo does
have a pool view. Pool is awesome, better then advertised.
Overall set up excellent. My family and I will use this
condo again and would recommend to all.

Let me begin this review by saying that our stay in this condo
exceeded all my expectations. I have never felt so at home
while being on vacation! The condo is beautiful, spacious,
clean, and convenient to all area attractions. My children
(aged 14 & 16) were thrilled with the Playstation and internet
access. After a tiring day at the parks, they headed for
these amenities while Mom and Dad headed straight for the
gorgeous, heated pool right downstairs. The condo is
equipped with necessities like pots and pans, dishes, etc.
All we had to do was get some groceries from nearby supermarkets
and we were all set. Having a washer and dryer helped with
packing issues as we didn't need to bring as much clothes as we
normally would have for a week's stay.
The booking process was easy and efficient. The owner,
Richie, is well-organized and eager to answer any and all
questions. The next time we plan a vacation in
Orlando, we will definitely rent
this condo again. My only regret is having to leave!
Thanks again, Jennie

Our family stayed in Richie's condo March 18-25, 2006. It
was wonderful. The resort is very well maintained
and very clean. The condo is beautiful, spacious and
equipped with everything you need. The best part is the
location of this particular condo. You can sit on your
balcony and watch the pool (nice if you have older children that
would like to go to the pool alone) and it is the closest condo
to all the resort's facilities. The resort itself is also
in such a great location. It is right off the main road
(so you are away from all the traffic) and yet only a few miles
from Disney's entrance. You can be at the parks in 10
minutes. I also appreciated the owner's personal contact
to make sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay.
We live in Tallahassee and will stay at Richie's condo
whenever we go to Disney and have recommended it to all our
friends. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

We were very pleased with our six night
stay in Spring 2006. The condo is
comfortable, spacious, and well-furnished and
equipped. It was clean and nicely set up for
our arrival. The central pool and games
area of the development is attractive and our
boys really enjoyed the (supervised)
waterslide. The location was very convenient
for visiting
Disneyworld, and there were
supermarkets and a variety of restaurants close
by. It was particularly helpful to us that
the owner's property manager stays open 24
hours/day as we had to check in at 4:00am
after a delayed flight. Overall, I found
the website represented the property and the
specific amenities very accurately,
and Mr. Dagostino was extremely responsive and
helpful in all our arrangements.

The condo is immaculate, beautifully decorated
and spacious. The kitchen table was big
enough for a large family and the kitchen well
stocked. The dryer came in handy to dry
towels. The location was the very best in the
neighborhood, wonderful view of the pool and
grounds below. It made life a lot simpler
then having to pack up a bunch of stuff to hike
to the pool, very convenient. The resort itself
was wonderful as well, the pool was heated and
my boys really enjoyed the ping pong tables. I
would definitely stay the pool view condo again!

Your condo was truly fabulous! We had a
great time and it was more than
expected. We did not encounter any
problems. The only thing I could
suggest since I have small children is
maybe to have some plastic cups and
bowls in the condo. I was afraid
that they were going to break your
lovely cups and bowls. Other than
that we will definitely use your condo
again! We have already referred
our friends that have also made a
booking at this awesome location.
The kids loved the pool and waterslide
and some days did not want to leave the
pool. We will definitely be back!

Dear Richie,
I would like to thank you for the use of you condo in Windsor
Hills. My family enjoyed our vacation and the condo was
fabulous. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the location
next to the pool was great for the kids. The pool was very warm
and the slide was fun. We spent an afternoon at the playground
and the kids loved that as well. Having the condo so close to
Disney made it easy and quick for us to come and go and to
return to our condo to eat meals which saved us a lot of money.
We did not get the opportunity to use the game room but the
convenience store on location was very helpful for the few
things we needed and did not want to drive to a grocery store.
Everyone there was friendly and professional and we would not
hesitate to use your condo again in the future. One suggestion I
have is to buy a rolling cart of some kind for our use. When
coming in with luggage and a full car of groceries it would be
helpful to be able to load up a cart instead of carrying
everything by hand. Thanks again for everything, I hope others
will enjoy it as much as we did.

Richie,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your
condo in January 2006.. It is in such a close
location to Disney the drive was very short and easy to
take. There are really some nice restaurants close by
when we decided to dine out. Your condo was very
clean and having the washer and dryer right there was
nice to get the laundry done before returning
home. Being able to view the pool from the enclosed deck
was relaxing and beautiful with all the trees and
flowers. Checking in and out was a breeze. You truly
have a lovely condo and would recommend it to all of our
friends. Thank you so much for letting us and our
friends use your condo!

We rented the condo over the Christmas/New Year
holiday 2005/6 for 4 adults.
The condo was exactly as advertised, new, clean,
well furnished and equipped, and ideally suited
for visits to Disney and other attractions.
Booking was easy and the rate for the period was
great value for the amenities provided. We were
disappointed that we could not stay longer.
We would certainly have no hesitation in renting
again.
Thanks again

This is a great three bedroom condo with an awesome view of the
gorgeous pool at this complex. There is a washer and dryer
and full kitchen, and 2 full baths. I suspect it took us
about 8-10 min to get to the parking lot at Disney world.
The cost of the condo was very reasonable. The condo was
clean and orderly and the furnishings in 11/2005 were almost
new. We wish there would have been some dishwasher soap
supplied as well as liquid dish soap. Hopefully that has
changed. But if you are planning on eating at all in the
condo just remember to pick up a small amount of both of those
items at the store. The location of the office to pick up
the key was about 3 or so miles down the "main drag" and their
office could be better marked. But Richie is pretty good
about giving the exact distance. Just ask him. When
returning the key I was able to leave it on the table of the
condo. I understand that the management office typically
does not allow that, so be prepared to make the drive back to
the office (opposite direction of Orlando Airport)
prior to your departure. To be totally honest with who
read this--I cannot see any reason to spend the money to stay in
the Disney park with the close proximity of this complex and its
comfort.

Beautiful condo! We were extremely pleased with our stay
at this condo. Very clean, brand new, lots of room and
space. Our kids loved the pool and the movie theater.
There were 6 of us and we had plenty of bed and bath space and a
very nice kitchen. Very nice furnishings. Owner was easy
to work with and talked with us over the phone many times before
booking. We had never booked over the Internet before and
were apprehensive, but this turned out to be a lovely place and
a great experience. This place was definitely the
highlight of our Disney vacation and by far the nicest place we
have ever had the privilege of staying in
Orlando. We will be back!
Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Our family of 5 spent 4 great nights here in September 2005.
The accommodations were superb. Everything was clean,
plenty of clean towels, all the amenities you could ask for.
We spent our days at Universal Studios and afternoons and
evenings at the condo. It was a quick and easy drive to
and from
Orlando. Our children, 12,
10, 7 loved the pool, especially the amazing slide. The
lifeguards were great and allowed us to stay later than the
posted times. The adults enjoyed the hot tub. There
was never a crowd and we had a fabulous view from the condo.
We enjoyed having TVs in every room as our children all have
different bedtime; it made things easy for us. The kids
liked shopping at the small general store for treats with their
allowance. We enjoyed everything so much, we recommended
this unit to my brother-in-law and his family who came a month
later and also had a fantastic time. We would not hesitate
to come back again. We had our best family vacation ever.
Thanks for your hospitality.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Mr. Dagostino's "Pool
View" condo at Windsor Hills. It was exactly as he
described in the web site with no negative
surprises. The location was perfect with very
convenient access to all the Disney attractions.
The condo was clean and well maintained. Mr.
Dagostino was very honest, straightforward and a
pleasure to work with. We would definitely rent
from him again should our travels take us to the Orlando area in the
future. You will definitely enjoy your stay.
