Great stay

Everything was as stated. Monica stayed in touch to be sure things were going well after our arrival and the night before we left. Of the homes we have stayed at this was our favorite. We paid for heated pool and the last night we were there it was in the 50s but my granddaughters played in the pool all evening.

Exactly As Described

We enjoyed the home. The owner was very accommodating and checked in on us through text message. I only needed to reach out to her once on the day of arrival, she quickly replied. The home is very spacious, the bedrooms are nice size and the kitchen is truly stocked. I would highly recommend this property to families, couples or groups.

Adult Family Vacation

Everything was excellent. All the information for the house was sent several days in advance. Giving me time to make sure we had everything we needed. Monica checked in to make sure everything was ok. She answered any questions and sent all the check-out information again before we left. We paid for the heat and the pool and hot tub was great! Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked for cooking anything.

Little things lacking

The house was beautiful as advertised. However, online it said oil and salt and pepper were provided, they were not. We had to go on a late night trip to find a store open and buy some to cook with. When tp was running out for the 6 of us with a 5 day stay, we were Then told we were provided only 1 complimentary roll per bathroom and had to provide any more. Another trip to the grocery store. Shampoo was supposed to be provided and was not. Only at the house was a book that stated starter kit provided of soaps, etc. not online. That included only 2 kitchen trash bags, 2 laundry pods, no dryer sheets, and teensy hand soaps for sinks/shower. Having to buy extra and then take home in our luggage felt very annoying when it would cost the host about $10 more to provide in general more supplies.

Perfect Holiday Home & Location for all the attractions.

9th Sept for 7 nights -Two of us flew over for a quick break from the UK weather and to try out Monica’s house for 2026 for us, our two adult sons & girlfriends to stay for a month. On arrival we can only describe our first reaction as ‘WOW’ - what a gorgeous house, so big, clean, well presented. The bedrooms were spaced out – the reception was enormous, the kitchen was superb and having stopped on West haven in other accommodation, this was the best equipped kitchen we have ever used, not only the cooker, air fryer and toaster etc, but utensils, crockery, glasses and plastic for the pool. The electric recliner sofa and huge TV with cable was amazing AND, in every bedroom, TV’s and cable access. Air conditioning perfect and the welcome pack and the presentation of the beds and towels in the bathrooms was a lovely touch. We paid for pool heating and this made the Hot Tub Spa perfect either in the morning or evening and the pool was super clean and perfect. Plenty of loungers and seating and a sun trap for those relaxing hours. This house on West Haven is minutes from Champions Gate perfect for Publix, Millers Ale House, petrol & Maccies,Target & Walmart. Locally we ate at The Longhorns, Buffalo Wild Wings and Millers Ale House & 20-25 min drive to Disney Springs & Universal City Walk. Monica is the perfect hostess, easily reachable, courteous & intent on giving her guests the perfect vacation. A 5-star recommendation from us. Can't wait to return in 2026 - Sharon & Dik (UK) x

Family Vacation

Thank you for a lovely stay. Villa was as described. Monica was super efficient in responding to any queries, which were resolved quickly. Some areas could do with a little update and further cleaning. Despite this, we had a great few weeks in a lovely quiet and safe residential area. Thanks again Monica!

Ideal property for exploring the parks

Great property, everything we needed for a week at the parks We’ve stayed in the same location before and it’s ideal, close enough for the daily travel but far enough away to be peaceful as well The property had everything we needed and on the couple of occasions we had minor issues they were resolved that day once we got in touch with Monica

Very pleased with "The Shire" Home

"The Shire" was a wonderful home away from home for our 10 day Florida family vacation during March 2024. The home was spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities that we needed. The house is located in a beautiful, quiet gated community. Communication with our host Monica was excellent and she was very responsive. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect relaxing stay for the holidays

Our family was looking for someplace convenient to things to see and do in Orlando, but we wanted a quiet neighborhood to get away from the noise when we wanted to. This place was perfect! The gated neighborhood meant we didn't see hardly any cars coming by the house, and we had a great time relaxing in the heated pool and hot tub while looking over the natural area in the backyard. The house had lots of space for our family & we loved the open floorplan for casual dining and watching TV etc. The workspace was a nice touch and wifi was super fast, very much appreciated as we needed to do some work while away from home. Home was very clean and our host was super responsive with any questions. Overall awesome stay!

A beautiful villa

Monica's spacious and beautiful villa is situated in the Shire at West Haven, and is handily placed for drives up the I-4 to Disney, Universal, and also the Premium Outlets and malls. It has two Publix supermarkets within 10 minutes, and is also close to Posner Park, for fans on Bath & Body Works. The Shire itself is a well maintained gated community that provides tranquility away from the theme parks, and there is ample opportunity at the villa for some sun drenched lounging at pool side. Highly recommended.

Nice Property

We've had a great time at West Haven. The house is nicely located in Champions Gate, Davenport. It was nicely equipped with all of our needs. Each of the bedrooms had a TV. The beds were very comfortable which produced quality sleep. The host was available for any questions, and responded quickly. We've experienced an issue with the hot tub, however the host quickly rectified the issue. We will definitely stay there again. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your house.

The Shire at West Haven

Property was beautifully decorated and had homely touches. It is a quiet neighbourhood and felt like an end plot due to the way the houses were positioned. There were lots of clear labelled instructions on how to use everything in the property. It feels very big considering it is all on one level, the 5 bedrooms are very well spaced out, ensuring privacy.
