Biggrin We are back!! All safe and sound from our Disney World vacation. Everyone loved the townhouses. They
were clean and neat. Everyone agreed renting the townhouses was a lot better that staying in hotel rooms.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your help. I am going to recommend you and Choice Vacation Homes to
anyone I know who is coming to Disney World for vacation. Thanks again!! Anne

We hired a villa for our annual three week vacation in Florida, but a volcano extended our stay by another
couple of weeks! Needed to move for our last 5 nights and discovered Venitian Bay after the management company
did a special offer for folks who were stranded.

Donna from Choice Vacation Homes has been excellent,
arranging a viewing at short notice, rapid rental, early admission to the home and in dealing with any issues
that we had.

Having read the other reviews we were a bit aprehensive about Venitian Bay, but we are really
glad that we came and had a look. The management company had just commenced the management of the unit we
hired and it was excellent from the start. Our unit is on the edge of the development, near one of the pools
and very quiet.

The village is just off the 192 on Hoagland, so ideally placed to explore the area. It is a
gated community with 24/7 security on the gate and regular patrols by security staff. Any problems and staff
are available and very friendly. The estate has felt very safe during our stay. We noted one previous post had
mentioned sirens, there is a fire station just down the road on Hoagland, but we have not heard anything
during our stay.

The village has a very swish club house, three pools, gym and tennis courts etc. There is
a central lake area and the gounds are well maintained.

The house we rented is three bedrooms: master
bedroom with huge bed, ensuite / whirlpool bath, family room, diner and kitchen downstairs; second bath and
two bedrooms upstairs. Furnishings are very good throught the home and it has every amenity that you could
possibly want or need on vacation.

The air con system is one of the best we've ever had in a home and
we even turned it up as we were feeling cold! The rooms also have celing fans.

Very fast wireless internet
in the home and also an eathernet cable if you want to connect the old fashioned way. Also fitted with bright
house cable, including on demand and numeruos channels.

Overall a great base if you are visiting for the
first time, providing a clean, safe and comfortable place to explore from.

Dear Donna,
We really enjoyed the two weeks we spent in the condo at Windsor Hills. The condo was very
clean and had all the comforts of home.

Windsor Hills itself is a very nice, family-oriented resort. We
appreciated the fact that it had good security and was quiet at night. We enjoyed sitting by the pool and
admired the nicely landscaped surroundings. Windsor Hills was very central to all the places we wanted to go
in Orlando during our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for your perfect combination
of good service and reasonable rates. We will be in touch with you when we plan next year's trip.

Thanks again,
Marie Biggrin

Orlando has free rides, cigars for ash cloud angst
Tue, Apr 20 2010
By Barbara Liston

ORLANDO, Florida
(Reuters) - Stranded in Orlando, Florida, by that pesky volcanic ash cloud from Iceland?

Relax, enjoy a
free cigar and beer, get a free day's entry to Walt Disney World and other famous amusement parks, or
cash in on an additional free seat for a local swamp tour.

Retailers, theme park operators and hoteliers in
Orlando, one of the top tourist destinations on the planet, are looking to ease the pain of thousands of
stranded foreign travelers with a raft of 'freebies,' discounts and cut-price promotions.

The
website of the Orlando/Orange County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Inc has created a special link window,
called European Air Service Disruption Offers, to list its promotions for frustrated fliers blocked by the ash
cloud air crisis.

The tourist travel disruption comes as Orlando's economy struggles to regain its
footing in the aftermath of the economic downturn. In recent weeks, bond rating agencies Fitch and Standard
& Poor's downgraded the city's debt tied to tourist tax revenues.

The Corona Cigar Company in
the heart of Orlando's tourist district is offering stranded European Union passengers a free cigar and
beer to help them pass the time.

"Come by, have a cigar, maintain your sanity and take your mind off
your worry about the situation with the volcano," said Jeff Borysiewicz, owner of the Corona Cigar
Store.

Major theme parks in Orlando -- Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld -- and many
smaller attractions such as water parks, boat rides and golf courses were offering free admission tickets to
all those who could prove they had canceled or disrupted flights.

Restaurants were serving up free and
discounted food and hotels and managers of vacation homes were dropping rates.

Tourism officials say an
average of 38,000 European visitors are in Orlando on any given day, and thousands were believed to have been
stranded by the ash cloud crisis.

Donna Sticht, a British resort property manager who relocated to Florida
six years ago, said she expected more stranded tourists to use the discounts as the days passed.

By Tuesday
morning, Sticht said she had rented townhomes to four stranded families at a break-even price, and some
tourists told her they had been told by their airline to be prepared to stay until May 2.

"They (the
tourists) spend all their money the last week of vacation and then, 'Oh my gosh, what are we going to do
now?'" Sticht said, referring to the extra costs squeezing many blocked fliers.

No estimates were
available on whether the money spent by stranded tourists would make up for the losses from overseas
vacationers who could not get from Europe to Orlando.

"Sometimes it's not about money. Sometimes
you just have to help people and that's what we're trying to do right now," Sticht
said.

We truly enjoyed our 11 day stay at the Sunrise Villa in Emerald Island! It was well kept and very clean
upon arrival! I can not say enough about how helpful Donna was in answering any questions I had in the
booking process! We had a wonderful stay and will be booking this home for our future Florida vacations!

Wink We really enjoyed our stay in the 2 4bedroom 3bath townhouses we rented. Upon arrival everything was
perfect and remained that way when we left. It was close to many locations and we look forward to returning. I
have recommended this company to many of my family members and friends.

Thank you so much for the rental. Everything was absolutely perfect with the condo! We were definitely
impressed with the cleanliness and the
timeliness of Donna's service. The batteries in the smoke detector
were low and causing the detector to beep. Donna came right over and took care of it for us. We had a great
time!! Thanks for everything.

Thank you so much, Donna, for looking after my property. I was really in despair when you came along and
lifted my spirits. I'd had so many bad encounters that I really didn't trust anybody in Florida. You restored
my faith.

I would
definitely pass on your card to my friends and relatives and I will be emailing you next year for a House and

We had a wonderful stay at your condo! Everything was just like the pictures showed--Windsor Hills is a
lovely, safe, gated community, with beautiful landscaping and very convenient to the Orlando area. Being on
the first floor on a corner made it convenient and bright. We found the condo very clean and welcoming with
the table set ready for guests--nice touch! Everything we needed was there, and even found we could pick up
the internet on your porch! The facilities were just great--we went in the hot tub almost every day, and when
our granddaughter visited, she choose to swim at the pool rather than go to the amusement park! Mother nature
co-operated too, as Orlando was breaking records in the 80's for February. We certainly would be interested in
returning next year.
