Have a wonderful romantic break or a fun family holiday in our beautiful villa, spacious, bright and really welcoming, for your dream holiday. Live the Florida Dream. Some of our previous Guest Comments:- Our stay at ARKVILLA Easter 2009 Leilei Essex Review Submitted: May 5, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009 This holiday was our first in Florida, and also our first in a villa, (we usually stay in hotels, but not anymore!) Arkvilla is in such a lovely location, it feels "away from it all" but is actually really convenient for supermarkets, restaurants, and most importantly (in our opinion) the Disney parks. The villa itself is very spacious, lovely and clean, and beautifully decorated, and it really felt like "home from home" with everything needed to make our stay just fabulous. The children ( 10 and 13 ) made as much use of the swimming pool and games room as they possibly could. Something we thought was really lovely was the genuine interest the owners had in making sure we were enjoying their lovely home. We received a phone call from them when we arrived to make sure everything was ok, which we thought was lovely, and they were very happy to recommend some of their favourite restaurants, and gave us some ideas of places to visit when we weren't visiting the "parks" I have to say we had a fantastic holiday, and really have no negative comments to make, we would really love to go back to Arkvlla sometime, and would have no hesitation recommending it to our friends, infact we already have been! Thankyou, we really enjoyed staying in your lovely home!

The location is ideal for Disney and all the local attractions. We have previously owned a villa in Florida so we had very high expectations and ARK Villa lived up to them all! The location, the pool, the furnishings inside the house, the games room!!! The kids loved the Air Hockey table & Play station. We would visit again as we had an amazing holiday and the house was immaculate!! Thank you for all your assistance with the booking Sandra and also to the management company for looking after ARK Villa so well! "February 2009 - Wow! Words cannot express our appreciation for this lovely home. We have so enjoyed our time at Arkvilla. Thank you for your personal attention to every detail and your sincere interest in ensuring that our stay was enjoyable. Our time at Arkvilla has been beyond our expectations and we look forward to coming again! With heartfelt thanks, James, Vana and Cathy (Canada)" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20th January 2009 My family and I have just returned from our second stay at the fabulous Arkvilla. Firstly, we would all like to say a very big thankyou for letting us share your stunning home. After a rather hectic and long journey we were soon living the dream! I really can't think of a better place to visit at Christmas and as we entered through the gated entrance it felt like we had returned home. We were greeted by a wreath hanging on the door and a beautifully decorated Chrismas tree. All of this, plus the lovely phone call from Sandra to check that everything was o.k, all adds to the individual care and attention you will receive. This is the reason why we have returned and why this villa is heads and shoulders above the rest. The decor, fixtures and fittings are of an extremely high standard, yet you don't feel like you shouldn't touch or use any of them. The villa layout is spacious and accessible, giving you the choice of quiet time or family time. The pool area is relaxing and our family made great use of this facility. There are ample sun loungers and chairs and a table where you can dine alfresco. The privacy screen around the pool is an added bonus, along with a chest full of pool toys. The games room with the pool table, air hockey and darts were a hit with all the family. There is an abundance of bedding and bath towels and having children, the washing machine and dryer are very welcome and very useful!!!! The kitchen is very well equiped, with everything you will ever need. The villa is situated on the US27 and is 15 minutes away from Disneyworld. Various shops, supermarkets and restaurants are all in very close proximity. We would not hesitate in recommending Arkvilla and look forward to spending many more happy family holidays there. It gets better every time we visit. Once again, many thanks Sandra Gary, Tracey, Amy & Ellie Bennett -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Review March / April 2008 Happy Brian Sheffield. Date Submitted: April 13, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008 My family and I stayed at the property for 2 weeks over the Easter break. The accomodation was of a very high standard making this great value for money. All of the rooms were very spacious, so much so that the girls decided to share a bedroom ! The only downside was that we didn't get enough time to make full use of the pool and the games room due to Theme Parking. The owner went out of her way to recommend several local restaurants, we only found time to visit 2 of them. She also answered all of our queries fully and honestly and even gave us a call when we were there to check everything was ok. Excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone, it's spotless, spacious and very handy without being in the middle of neon city. It is all on one floor with a wide corridor and doorways so should be fine for anyone with disabilities, though I'm not an expert. Only one small step to get up to get into the porchway. 5 stars. Recommended for: Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, and Sightseeing Owners Response: Sounds like you had a fabulous time!! So glad you enjoyed your stay in our home. You are welcome back anytime. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our February 2008 stay at ARK villa Harrison South Yorkshire. Date Submitted: Feb 26, 2008 Date of Stay: Feb 2008 After previous disappointments with other villas my family and I were extremely pleased with ARK Villa. It is new, modern, well appointed, extremely clean and very comfortable. Everything was as described in the advert and it was close to all amenities and well maintained. The owner was really helpful with extra information and as we have a disabled child this was invaluable. We have recommend the villa to friends who may wish to visit florida. The Publix supermarket, Applebees restaurant and other community services are 2 minutes away which made it very convenient. Islands of adventure was my childerens favourite park along with Typhoon Lagoon. I cannot find anything negative to say about this villa and I would definitely visit again! Recommended for: People with Disabilities, Families with Young Children, and Sightseeing Owners Response: We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay in our Florida home and would welcome having you stay again in the future. We thank you for looking after our home and treating it with care and respect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry I missed your call, we were out having a wonderful time. The villa was beautiful. Your directions to the home were great. Your home had everything that we needed and more. Everyone enjoyed it so much we would like to reserve it for next year if possible. We were also wondering if you have a comment book that we could leave a note in for others who were interested in the property so we could let them know how great the experience was. Thank you so much for everything. Becky Grim. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a privilege to stay at your beautiful home. I would have no hesitation in recommending your property to others. In all we had a fantastic stay and dealing with you has been a pleasure.
