"Although this sounds like a sad story, the facts are these, he loved your condo. We all had an unbelievable vacation, making new memories each day. We will never forget this trip."
This was the last vacation my family would spend with my father. My family arranged a townhouse through another company in Windsor Hills. My sister and her family also had a place, but canceled it in December. Once my father got the latest bad cancer results from a trip to the doctor, he said, I am going to Florida. From the parking lot of the local Home Depot, Mom called me to say "get us a place in Kissimmee". I managed to get this last spot in Windsor Hills for my parents. They drove, my brother and family drove, my sister and family flew, and my family flew. The 14 of us had arrived in Florida. My sisters hotel was in Orlando, but spent most time with us all. It was only a 5 minute walk from our townhome to Almaton Loop. My father had some trouble with the drive down, but made it. We spent as much time as possible together, the highlight being us all watching another space shuttle launch, this time from the parking lot of Olive Garden. I will never forget spending time with my Dad in the screened in Lanai, him already with a tan, wearing a funny cowboy hat. My father had trouble on the way home, ending up in the Lake Norman Hospital in NC. He needed to be flown home on a air emergency, dying in the air moments from Ottawa, where our family was waiting. My sister and I flew down to be with him and Mom, and had to drive their car home. I only knew he was gone 2 hours away from home. Although this sounds like a sad story, the facts are these, he loved your condo. We all had an unbelievable vacation, making new memories each day. We will never forget this trip.
As a family, we have been to Kissimmee around 17 times for yearly spring breaks. Most of this time was spent in trailers
at the KOA. This was our last visit as a family, my parents and all siblings. Once we all new his condition, we all did what we needed to do to get there. It was so nice to have my parents with my brother at Almaton Loop, and my family and sisters a couple of streets away. We saw them every morning and every night. We continued a tradition of space shuttle launches, this time with the grand kids who had never seen one before. That night was magical. All the grand kids were laughing amongst themselves, my sister and brother laughing, telling Florida stories of their youth. During this time, my parents and I watching all of this and smiling. I will never forget that night.
Thanks to your staff, especially Molly Burns, who helped me with this last minute reservation. It honestly could not have been better for my parents. After so many visits to Kissimmee, I have now truly found my second home. We loved Windsor Hills, and can't wait to get back next year. I have already bookmarked websites for flights.

"One word to sum up our accomodations at Oakwater is incredible! We were very pleased when we saw the furnishings/cleanliness of our condo, the pool/clubhouse, location which was close to grocery stores and lastly the short time it took to drive to the Disney parks."
Our oakwater condo included all the basic amenities and tons of extras including: 4 TV's with cable, high speed internet, stereo, washer/dryer, one car garage and a fully stocked kitchen. Everyone in our family had plenty of room especially the lucky ones who got the over-sized master bedroom with huge walk-in closet.
This is our first condo experience and we have no regrets. We had the best family vacation while feeling like we never left home. There was plenty of room for grandparents to stay with us and share in the Disney experience with our daughter.
We have a 2 1/2 year old who cannot walk yet and the pool was perfect for her to play in since it was a zero depth entry.
On the last night of our vacation we hosted a dinner party at our condo with extended family members who live in Florida. It is amazing to feel like a dinner party can be pulled off when we were not at our own home.
After walking around parks all day you are exhausted by the end and it makes everything better to know you're going to a nice place to rest for the night. You cannot beat this deal for the money and it makes a Disney vacation that much more magical.

"I must say, I've had one of the best times on this vacation as I've ever had. My friends and I (all with new babies) were looking for a nice place where we all could stay and catch up for a few days."
We'd grown up together, then moved apart - VERY far apart and renting a townhome seemed to be a great solution! We liked the amenities listed online and because we wouldn't be going to any theme parks with the little ones, we were definitely looking for a place where we could relax, with lots of amenities nearby. How pleasantly surprised we were with the "rel-life" impression once we'd gotten there! The pool was awesome. The house was neat and clean - EXACTLY as represented online. It was like a home away from home. We're definitiely making plans to return and do this again. Thanks for your help in making this a great time for all of us.
