We had a great time and were sorry we had to leave so soon! Our last trip to Orlando, we all stayed at a hotel. I am in the hospitality industry and work within a corporate office of a known hotel chain. We decided to give this a try rather than staying at one of my properties. We were extremely impressed! The home was just the right size for our family of 10 and everyone enjoyed it tremendously, we thank you!  Hope to visit again soon...and we'll be sure to spread the word of your home for any future travelers!  Thanks again for providing your warm and comfort to us all! We really enjoyed our stay.  (December 2009)

Your home was so much more than expected. The website photos do not do it justice. It was so nice to be able to come back here after a busy day and relax, stretch and jump in the pool. You supply everything necessary for a lovely home away from home. Conveniently located near the Disney parks , restaurants and attractions but yet quiet and peaceful.  We will definitely recommend this house to others and hope to stay here again!.  Thank you so much for such a wonderful accommodation! (December 2009)

We all had a great time.  Your house is lovely.  The kitchen is very complete.  Thank you !!. (November-December 2009)

We have stayed in villas in Florida before but think that this is the best so far. So much so that we are already planning our return visit!  It really is a home away from home.  Nothing was missing and we even had a few nice surprises such as baby toys and cots.  The pool was lovely to come back to after a long day at the parks and the kids loved the game room. Thank you so much; we can’t wait to visit again. (November 2009)

After a 14 hour journey the house came as a fantastic surprise.  The photos didn’t do it justice and couldn’t convey the quality and homeliness of the villa.  The kitchen is more well equipped that any other holiday accommodation we have stayed in. This made catering to a large number of people easy.  The house is perfectly placed for all the main attractions which cuts down travelling time.  We hope to be back soon.  Thanks for the use of this fantastic house. (October 2009)

We would like to send a big thanks to you for the use of Happy's Hideaway.

We had a fantastic vacation, mainly because the house was such a great base to come back to after some very hectic days. The photos gave us an idea of size and decorations but they cannot convey the overall feeling of comfort and homeliness that you get when in the house.

The distance from Disney was a grateful relief as there is nothing worse than leaving Disney property only to have to travel another 20-30 mins before you can collapse in a tired heap. At your home we were home within 10 minutes. (October 2009)

We had a marvelous vacation.  Thank you for sharing your home with us.  We really felt like we were at home!!  I highly recommend this rental. (September 2009)

Just wanted to tell you what a wonderful vacation your rental home provided us to have.  From the moment we stepped in and said WOW to the sadness  of having to leave we really felt like we were coming home each day to our place.  Everything was kept up so well and there was plenty of space for everyone to be together or separate if they wished!!  I will certainly recommend this property to anyone who will listen. Thank you again for sharing this with all of us. (September 2009)

What a wonderful place you have!  Thank you for sharing it with us. Our family truly enjoyed our stay at your home.  The children loved the pool and we all loved the convenient location close to the parks. (August, 2009)

What a fantastic place! The last several trips we stayed inside Disney, but this was our best trip yet. Love coming home after hot days at the parks and relaxing in the pool. Thank you for the restaurant listings, there is a great selection of places to dine. Thank you again and we will definitely tell family and friends about Happy’s Hideaway for those who plan to visit Walt Disney World, (August 2009)

Thank you for sharing your wonderful house.  We really enjoyed our stay.  We loved that when we first entered the house was very clean and bigger than expected. We will gladly recommend Happy’s Hideaway to friends and family.  See you on our next visit.  (July/August, 2009)

We had a wonderful time and this was our home for ten days. Nice facilities, well maintained and the kids had a blast in the pool, so mush so that the protested every morning when we had to leave for the parks. Thank you and hope to be back soon. (July, 2009)

We enjoyed staying at your home very much!  Your home afforded us the opportunity to be very comfortable while on vacation.  The amenities were ample and the pool and spa were very relaxing.  Thanks so much for your hospitality!  We hope to return some time in the future. (June/July, 2009)

Your home was beautiful and all the kids had a great time.  We probably could have saved the money we spent on Disney and just stayed at the pool all week!  Everything was perfect.  The house was very clean, we had plenty of towels and linens, the kitchen was well equipped, the décor was beautiful and comfortable, there were even pool toys the kids could use! (June, 2009)

Thank you very much for a beautiful home away from home. All of us had a wonderful time.  We even celebrated Grandma’s birthday. Everyone loved the pool and the kids had lots of fun in the game room. (June, 2009)

This has been a wonderful vacation.  Thank you for the use of your house during our stay.  It was perfect.  There was plenty of room for everyone.  It was nice to have such a lovely and comfortable place to return to each night.  We really loved relaxing in the pool and spa at the end of each long, hot busy day.  This was a great place to relax and call home for a while.   Thanks for everything.  (May 2009)

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the use of your home during our first visit to Florida and Disney.  This vacation was all we had hoped for and more. It gave two families who live in different parts of Canada a place to reunite, R&R and catch-up. The kids enjoyed the pool and game room after long days at the parks.  The adults enjoyed the space so they could reminisce. It was so enjoyable that our daughter wants her father to go home and build a house just like this one.  Thanks again.  We are already making plans for a visit next year. (April-May, 2009)

This was our third stay at Happy’s Hideaway and we had another wonderful vacation! We enjoyed your beautiful home – the kids loved the pool and the grown-ups loved the hot tub.  Actually, we all enjoyed both. Our strategy has been to get to the theme parks early while the lines are short, then return home to the house to relax and recharge before heading back to the parks.  It’s a great combination of exciting theme park adventures and relaxing downtime.  We love it here and hopefully we’ll be back!  Thank you Larry and Cathy! (April 2009)

What a treasure you have in your home! We loved having the wide open spaces and having our own spaces to retreat to.  The location was fantastic and the hints were great.  We hope to be back again. (April 2009)

As usual, we had a lovely stay in your home!  We're hoping we can return again.  I wouldn't change a thing! (April 2009)

Thank you very much for the use of your house.  We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to recommend your place to friends and family. (April 2009)

Thank you very much for letting us stay at your house.  There wasn’t a day that we did not spend time in the pool. It was great to be so close to Universal and the theme parks.  The atmosphere of the house was very relaxing, which made our stay that much more enjoyable.  We will definitely be back next year!!!!  (Mar 2009)

I wanted to thank you for sharing your house. We had a fantastic time, and even  got to see the shuttle takeoff from your front lawn! We are already talking about our next visit to Florida. (March 2009)

Thanks, we had a great time.  The house was excellent. Perfect for our needs. (Feb 2009)

Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful vacation!  We can’t begin to tell you how great it was to be able to go swimming in the the pool with our 6 year old while the baby napped.  The kids loved the game room and the house was immaculate.  We truly never want to stay anywhere else when we come to Disney.  (Feb 2009)

This was our first stay and we hope to be back to this beautiful home, well kept and clean.  Loved it, the pictures on the internet do not do it justice.  Wish we could stay longer.  (Feb 2009)

We would like to thank Larry & Cathy for this nice and comfortable home away from home.  Everything was just as we expected and even better. Pictures on the web site were very nice but to walk in to this house and find it WOW!  We hope to be back soon.  We'll recommend to everyone who wants to have a comfy and quiet place to stay while they are on vacation.  This was our first trip to Disney World and we will certainly be back.  Weather was perfect!!!  (December 2008-January 2009)
