See a 360 degree tour of our villa at http://www.vr360tour.com/homes/u14578rbd/ Here are the comments we have received from our guests! Just a quick note to let you know we had a fabulous time in your house. There were very few people there so it was like having a private pool! We spent a lot of time exploring and whilst sitting on the balcony two dolphins swam past - didn't have camera to hand though!! Many thanks again. Sharon, UK, August 2008 "We did have a lovely time, despite the weather, we were all determined that rain wasn't going to spoil anything we had planned, but the wonderful Florida suntan has not materialised." Sue, UK, August 2008 "We had a wonderful time, great views and great weather and were very appreciative of your thoughtfulness to have beach towels and chairs and other extras that were so useful during our stay. At first we were a little concerned about the remoteness of the villas, but we were pleasantly pleased to find we were very close to all the grocery stores and other services and access to points of interest." Barbara, USA, March 2008 "We had a wonderful time in Florida! It was perfect for what we needed. Thank you." Joan, USA, March 2008 "We loved the condo - great location, large
enough for everyone to have Rosemary, USA, March 2008 "We all had a great time at your villa. As a family we enjoy cooking and eating together and your kitchen and dining room had everything that we needed PLUS. The fishing was great!! We caught enough trout for a very good meal!! We found the restaurants and shopping convenient!! When there was nothing else to do, just sitting on the balcony and reading or watching the boats go by was most relaxing!! THE GRIFFIN FAMILY HAD A GREAT VACATION!!! Thanks again." Chris, USA, June 2007 "Apologies for the delayed reply but we stayed for a further week in the New Port Richey area of Florida. In all honesty your property met all of our expectations and was ideal for our group. We were two families comprising 4 adults and 5 kids. The accommodation was flexible enough to suit all of our various needs. The equipment provided exceeded our expectations and meant that we could fully enjoy our time there. We were meeting up with friends from Toronto and so it provided an excellent base for such a large party. The on site facilities were ideal for us all to enjoy long periods around the pool, wearing the children out. The things to do in the surrounding area are excellent as well as providing a great selection of half or full days out. In fact I would fully recommend a visit to Lake Trafford (inland from Fort Myers) and an air boat ride on the lake. One of the better kept secrets of the area. I would not hesitate to rebook with you in the future or recommend friends to you." Ian, UK, March 2007 "We had a great vacation and your home is beautiful. I hope you found everything in order when we left - I think we followed your instructions in the letter. Thanks again for allowing us to rent your villa - we really enjoyed it." Colleen, US, February 2007 "I just wanted to send you a note for allowing us to stay in your house in Florida. The house was very nice with everything we needed for our holiday and would have no hesitation recommending it to my friends. I have been back for just over a week now and it seems like months ago since we were in Florida. Anyway once again many thanks." Campbell, UK, September 2006 "Thanks very much for a fantastic holiday. We all really enjoyed it. The villa was out of this world!" Cathy, UK, August 2006 "I just want to tell you what a wonderful time we had at Dolphin Harbour. After staying in Dolphin Creek 3 years ago I was very disappointed that it was already booked for our dates this time. You told me that your family prefer Dolphin Harbour of the two villas, and now I can fully understand why. This villa is perfect in every way and is in a perfect location. It made my holiday watching the dolphins and manatees play from the balcony. On our boat trip we spent 3 hours surrounded by dolphins, it was a truly magical experience. We used the gym and pool every day and usually had them to ourselves. The pool temperature was perfect and it was lovely having such a large pool to enjoy. My son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren really enjoyed the villa too and there was plenty of space for everyone. I am really looking forward to staying at Dolphin Harbour again in the future" Brenda, UK, July 2006 "Thank you for your email. We enjoyed our stay very much your villa is lovely. We made great use of the pool and had it almost entirely to ourselves most days. It is a lovely spot overlooking the water and we enjoyed seeing all the fish and dolphins from the jetty and one day catching a skate! We visited local beaches and in particular enjoyed Siesta Key beach and the lovely sand. We found almost everything in the villa we needed. The beach towels were especially welcome. The only things which would have been nice/useful were a CD player and a cool box. We did buy a beach umbrella and buckets and spades which we have left in the garage for your future guests. With many thanks." Diane, UK, May/June 2006 "Many thanks for your email, we all had a fabulous time, the villa was lovely and the location perfect! The stroller was really useful and we also found a baby monitor...thanks for the thoughts! We managed to do some jet skiing and also take an excursion out to some of the barrier islands which the kids loved! Thanks again and hope to visit again some time in the future!" Neelam and family, UK, April 2006 "We had a great time - thanks for your hospitality ! The neighbors were very nice and the facilities were great. We ate at all of the restaurants your little book recommended - all great choices." Will, US, March 2006 "The villa was beautiful, exactly as advertised, and made our vacation spectacular. We were in Port Charlotte for the Collegiate Baseball Tournament at the Charlotte Sports Complex. The location of the villa was perfect. We got up every morning with a beautiful view of the water, used the pool to get our workout in, as it is much larger than most resort pools, and enjoyed the baseball games. The villa is spectacularly furnished with everything we could have needed and more. It was the perfect accommodations for us. Thanks again for everything. Assuming my son's team will be in the same tournament, as soon as we know our dates for next year, we will be in contact. Thanks again," Debbie, US, March 2006 "We had a wonderful time at your villa! It is every bit as beautiful as the website depicts. We had everything there that we could possibly need - the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils, the rooms were very clean and comfortable and the nice big beach towels saved a lot of space in our luggage! We had beautiful weather every day and made good use of the pool. Everyone there was extremely friendly. We had the perfect combination of relaxation and fun. We went shopping in Punta Gorda, fishing in Sarasota, hiking and took an airboat ride in Myakka State Park (saw a lot of alligators), and of course, spent some time on the Port Charlotte Beach. There are numerous restaurants to choose from on Hwy 41 and there is a wide variety of activities available within less than an hour drive - and in such a beautiful area, the driving itself is enjoyable! I have been sharing your website and highly recommending your villa to friends and co-workers. You'll definitely be hearing from us for another booking!" Thanks again," Mary, Steve, Bobbi and Sean, US, March 2006 "Everything you said the place would be, it was. Our entire group thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was within 20 minutes of the church we staged out of and close to restaurants. We were a pretty work oriented group, eat, work, shower, eat, sleep. Sounds pretty boring, but the comfort and luxury of your villa was the highlight of our day. I heard nothing but praise from my fellow workers. In all, I can say that your villa is an outstanding place to spend a vacation, and I would be happy to give it my highest recommendation. From all of us, thank you for a very pleasant stay. Best regards," Dick, US, February 2006 "I just wanted to let you know that we had
a wonderful time at the villa and everything went very smoothly. My family all
agreed that it was one of our best holidays ever. One of our favorite highlights
was a visit to Myakka River State Park. We rented a canoe and a kayak and
paddled around the lakes and streams. It was by far the best wildlife viewing.
There were tons of alligators and beautiful birds and I'd highly recommend it.
You may consider adding it as an attraction to your website. I know we were one
of the first groups to stay there and our family likes to cook. Overall, the
kitchen was fantastic, but there are a couple of items that might be worth
