“What a great, relaxing and fun time!” We had the best time, the view was great and the cabin was spectacular. We never met a stranger in Derby, everyone was so friendly and down home--our kind of people. The view of the river was awesome, Bud Colucci and Michelle were very gracious hosts and the Castle Colucci had everything needed to make it home. Thank you so much! The Miller's

“Quiet, comfortable, delicious, interesting and easy!” Quiet, tho we watched a movie and enjoyed the creek flow sounds; comfortable and pretty indoors and out; delicious organic goodies from the garden with tour; interesting to see and learn about the eco architecture; and super easy staying in or going to Bryson City or asheville. We totally enjoyed it and meeting Linda!

“Super will go again” Annual get together that has been to several places on Smith Mtn Lake with this being rated at the top. This was spacious and comfortable with a great screened in porch that had super view of lake and plenty of room to accommodate all of our group. Plenty of dishes and accessories in the kitchen to cook and prepare whatever we wanted. With 5 bedrooms there is lots of sleep spots and privacy. Will go again.

“Review” The place was amazing! Perfect weather and a great week! Thank you so much for the opportunity! We had the best week!

“Convenient, comfortable vacation spot” Our stay at Wyndham Kingsgate Resort got off to a bumpy start. We arrived at 3:00 and checked in. Were told our room would be ready at 4:00 and we would get a call. At 4:30, after no call, we checked back with the front desk and were told the room was not ready. Since check in was supposed to be at 4:00 we questioned why it was taking so long. We ended up standing in the lobby until about 5:30 as only two chairs were available. Never did get a phone call and finally tracked down a manager who had us on our way with keys in hand in less than five minutes. That being said, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The resort was very close to all the sites we wanted to visit and the price was right. We would probably stay there again, barring the issue with checking in and losing an hour and a half of valuable vacation time with nothing but a "sorry, wasn't our fault".

“A house that I could see living in permanently.” I can't think of anything negative to say, OK if I lived there I'd put a couple palm trees and a bar by the pool... I really liked the look of the tile floor in the living room and I really appreciated the fact that there is a DVR connected to the main TV. It is an awesome house.

“Had a great stay” was close to the parkway was just a short walk. we will be back. was just a block off the parkway. we will be back

“Beautiful spacious home in a quiet Gated Community.” We were in Florida for the National Pop Warner Football finals. I was able to rent this home on short notice (one week) and was pleasantly surprised it was beautifully maintained and well stocked. Sri was very accommodating and easy to reach. We had several children with us of various ages and they were all kept occupied in the game room. Pool never really got warm but we did read the literature and wasn't expecting bath water but the pool and spa at the clubhouse was comfortable. Had a great time and would definitely rent again great value for your money. Also is very close to all the attractions just a short drive to any park you plan to visit.

“Comforable, clean, cosy and Relaxing!” This is a great place to stay if you are traveling to Philly. The beds are comfortable, the whole house is very clean and its a great place to relax. The location is a great place to branch out from during the day to see museums, sporting events etc. the Bus service can be caught right at the corner and the subway is an easy two block walk. Many restaurants are nearby if you don't want to cook in the fully equipment stocked kitchen. We will be staying here again.

“Paradise Found in Downtown Sarasota” Absolutely charming, fully redone/ upgraded bungalow close to everything Sarasota has to offer. This was the third year running my wife & I have stayed at the wonderful home located minutes from Sarasota's best beaches, restaurants & shopping. We fully intend to return again next year! The two bedroom home is in pristine condition. Beautifully decorated, lovely hardwood flooring throughout with a fully stocked (appliances, crockery, pots/pans, cutlery, etc...) kitchen & renovated bathroom. Everything you need is provided, just arrive & settle-in. A huge projection screen in the living room, should you want to have an at-home movie night (rental Dvd's a 5-minute walk away @ Publix). There's also a regular flat-screen TV in the living room, as well as a wall-mounted TV in the bedroom. The backyard is, personally, my favourite part of the home. A screen-in lanai to eat in & a beautifully manicured backyard to relax in under the tiki hut or under the palm trees. There are a few seating areas throughout the backyard. Find the space you like the best, sit-back & relax with a cool cocktail- very civilized & very beautiful. You'll feel like you're in the Caribbean, not Florida in this backyard. Maureen & Pat, your hosts who, very conveniently, live right next door have provided everything you need, including all the beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, etc...to take along with you to Sarasota's beautiful beaches. Maureen has also provided tons of literature about the area in the house- restaurant menus, local mags, maps- everything. Maureen & Pat are always happy to suggest restaurants, beaches, shopping, golf, etc. They know Sarasota well, are friendly & happy to help in any way they can to ensure you have a wonderful stay. My wife & I can honestly say we love this property, have encountered no negatives about the place in three years of week-long stays & look-forward to our time there each year. We recommend this lovely home to everyone.

“Wonderful holiday” We had a lovely holiday staying at Emerald magic, the villa was just right for our family of 12 , our 5 grandsons loved the south facing swimming pool which was always lovely and warm while we enjoyed relaxing on the 6 sunbeds. The games room had loads of things to keep them happy and occupied while the adults relaxed. The barbecue with free gas was great at mealtimes, although it was out of gas when we arrived it was very quickly replaced with one phone call as were any other problems which occurred, excellent service. Plenty of pool towels, saving packing our own and the double buggy was so handy at the parks. The location to disney parks could not be better, only about 10 minutes drive and the complex is lovely with a really friendly lady at reception. Also Thank you for the special touch of the rose on the bed which made celebrating our ruby wedding anniversary a special occasion.

“Large enough for the whole family” We had a great stay and were really pleased with the size of the house. It allowed members of our extended family to have privacy but of course the family room, kitchen, and media/game room were the most popular areas. The kids and grand kids enjoyed the pool. The weather was unseasonably cold but we paid to heat the pool and everyone seemed surprised and pleased that is was so comfortably warm. Sri is very easy to work with and responded super fast to email communication. This is definitely the way to go when you have a large family. Very reasonably priced for the space and accommodations.

“Comfortable and secure in a great home - almost as good as at ho” The house is set is a terrific neighborhood of annapolis within easy walking distance to two small parks on the water and to town. We all found the house a delight - the design, decorating, furnishings are tasteful and match the age and the imagery of the house. It is well equipped with comfortable bedrooms, adequate bathrooms and linens, utensils and staple supplies. We certainly will attempt to stay at this house again if we ever return to annapolis.

“An amazing Tuscany Experience In the Carolinas” Our visit to Fayetteville was very good, but it was tremendously enhanced by our stay at this fine Tuscany styled retreat. It has it's own separate entrance, very private, and has everything you need. The décor took us out of the United States, and made us feel as if we took an expensive vacation. Very quaint, clean, and relaxing environment. The Sharfs(Owners) were very hospitable and accommodating, but they also dignified and respected our privacy as well. We highly recommend this location, with no regrets, and we are anticipating a return visit.
