As said in our previous review, great location for everything and nothing is too much trouble for George and Pamela (Thanks for the wine, much appreicated).
Our family wholeheartedly recommend this villa, without exception and hopefully, we will return one day soon.

If anyone wants to know anything re this villa, please pm me, I'll be only too glad to help.
Just returned from a weeks stay at the Heron Villa and would really like to thank George and Pamela for a wonderful holiday, the villa was absolutely fantastic, my 2 grandchildren (4yrs & 2yrs) couldn't get enough of the pool. We couldn't have wished for more, George and Pamela have everything just perfect, from the decor right down to the little touches like a good old tea pot. If your looking to rent a Villa in the Disney area then the Heron Villa is ideal.
Thanks again George and Pamela... We had a great time!
This is a fabulous villa, well looked after, spotlessly clean with quality furnishings and equipped with everything you could wish for. It is in our opinion, in the perfect area, quiet but well within easy reach of everything you need and a quick, easy drive to all the parks and other attractions.
George and Pamela are the nicest people to deal with and nothing is too much trouble for them, they will answer all your questions, however silly they may be and will even ring you when you get there to make sure all is well (They have actually kept in touch both before and after our visit).
We have already booked for September 2012 and are really excited already and have no worries over the villa part of the holiday at all.
We can't rate the villa or George and Pamela highly enough and if you're reading this with a view to booking, please do it now, you won't regret it!

Hi George & Pamela and Happy New Year!
We just returned home to Belgium and wanted to drop a short note telling you how we really enjoyed vacationing at your home in Orlando. We loved the pool and even though it got a bit chilly at night (the air temperature) we managed to find time to take a dip every evening.
Thanks again and we will be sure to look you up when we go to Orlando again.
Kind Regards, Denis and Liane Murphy - Belguim and Canada

Hi Guys!
Just got back on saturday from another fantastic holiday in Orlando and wanted to say a big thank you to George and Pamela for the use of there villa. It was everything we hoped for and more.communication was great prior to the holiday whether by phone,e-mail or forums. Nothing was to much trouble, we actually had the pleasure of meeting them a couple of times while over there! I know there are other forum members booked into Heron Villa in the future so thought this may make your planning a little less stressful. Many people are quick to jump on the forums to complain when it all goes pair shaped so I thought it was only right to give credit were it was due.. Thanks again Stu!

Hi George & Pamela
I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for the use of your excellent villa.
Everyone agreed that the villa had everything we could need, and was ideally situated for easy access to the parks etc. We will be visiting Orlando again in the future, and will definitely be contacting you to hire again. We would also like to thank you for your help / recommendations with regards to things to do / eating out. We thought the Olive Garden was excellent, and Manny's Chop House was SUPERB!
We were also very pleasantly surprised to receive the 2 bottles of wine you had sent to the villa!
It is touches like this that set you head and shoulders above any other villa owners we have used in the past. Kevin Green – England
