Got home yesterday morning, so I thought I'd send you a quick email to thank you for everything - we had a FANTASTIC time at Chatty's Dream! We had a very high expectation of the villa and its facilities, and I'm delighted to say it surpassed all of our expectations and demands!
Everyone - from my 95 year old Grandmother to my 19 month old daughter, had a ball! It was just great to spend such a special holiday and time with our family in such a lovely home. Our (family) surprise visitors were just the cherry on the icing on the cake!!! We were blown away to find them waiting for us at the pool!!! Thanks SO much for all your help and trust in organising this - it is much appreciated. You have a good heart.
We will certainly look no further than Chatty's Dream for future holidays -here's hoping it'll be sooner rather than later!!! Thanks again for all your help and information - you're a star! Regards,
Janel ( on behalf of the 4-generation family visit 24 May - 8

Fabulous!, May 26, 2008---By Cindy Holeman (Raleigh, NC)
The home is absolutely wonderful in every way from being extremely spotless to fantastic! We loved the layout of the home and the amenities. Our son thought the game room was wonderful. The pool was a nice place to relax and refresh after a long day at Disney. We will reccomend this home to our friends and family! Thanks Mr. Sawyer for being so nice and a special thank you to Debbie and her husband from the management company for all of your help. Hope to come back there again some day - The Holemans!

We reached the villa at 2 in the morning, but felt refreshed the moment we entered the villa. Tom was extremely prompt and detailed in providing us all the directions and instructions, and we faced no issues even at that late hour. The villa itself was a dream come true, and we looked forward to getting back to the villa everyday after visits to theme parks and rides and shows. It was an experience that I will share with whoever I can. Thanks Tom for making our stay so comfortable.

Thank you for your e-mail. We all had a lovely vacation and your villa contributed greatly to that fact. Should we come back to Orlando in the future we will be back in touch. It has been a pleasure communicating with you.

I wanted to let you know that I received the deposit cheque today, thanks for getting it back to us so quickly.
Thank you again for allowing us to rent your home we've been telling all our friends how it helped make our holiday one of the best we have ever had. We hope to visit Orlando again soon and will definitely look up your home and see if it is available.

Hi Thomas," we wanted to tell you what a great time we had and how much we enjoyed our stay in your home. Everything was perfect and having the house to relax in every evening when we returned from our busy day was the best! If you are ever in need of a 'raving review' I would be happy to give you, your management company and especially your home the highest compliments. We got to meet your property manager yesterday he was in the neighborhood doing some work and stopped by to say hi. We never got to meet the crane family. If there's anything else I can do let me know and if there's ever another opportunity for us to travel to Orlando I'll be looking to see if your house is still available. I'm so happy we found it this time around . Thanks again.”

Excellent Vacation Home, January 5, 2008

By Carol Gawne (Flat Rock, MI. USA)

We stayed at the villa Dec. 15, 2007 - Dec. 22, 2007. My whole family loved it. The house was more than we could have expected. Very spacious and clean. We used the pool every day. Definitely the place to stay on vacation.

Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2007 03:49:09 0000
Tom,
We arrived home from Florida late last night and we must admit it was very difficult to leave Chatty's Dream. Your home was everything we hoped it would be. It was very clean, nicely decorated and so comfortable. When we arrived the table was set so nicely, we hated to use it. The pool and game room were a big hit with the kids. They loved coming home and swimming in the evening as it got dark. Our youngest child developed and ear infection while on our trip so he and I spent a bit of extra time at the house. I was so thankful to have the extra space.
Thank you so much for making Chatty's Dream available for many others to enjoy. Our entire experience from the time we contacted you through our weeks stay was very professional. We will definitely keep Chatty's Dream in mind for a future return to the Orlando area. Thank you again and we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Dear Sawyers,
What a lovely time we had in Orlando. It was perfect and as one of Gary's daughters said, "this home is what made the vacation" It was spacious, comfortable, conducive to visiting, perfect for the kiddos to enjoy the pool and the games in the games room. One grandson would stop as he went from the pool to air hockey to tell me that "your house is awesome!" you can take a dip when you wake up in the morning.
We discovered the west entrance to Disney off of the 429. We understand that it has not been open very long, but it was definitely the avenue we used to visit Disney.
Thanks for sharing your home. Gary and I agree that this was the most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time. We will certainly recommend you to others who may be planning a trip to Orlando. I can't imagine a better way to spend a vacation.

It was a great first experience visiting Disney and coming home to a nice cool pool after walking around the parks in 90 degree weather. I can honestly say we were very sad to leave on Saturday morning. As of this morning my wife and I are still having a hard time adjusting to reality. Well...we've already decided we're coming back next year so hopefullyyour house will be available and I will recommend your property at every available chance.

Hi Tom & Kathy. I'm back to NY and thank you for renting the house to us. We had a very good time and the kids really enjoyed swimming in the pool. They would rather stay in the pool more than go to Disney. If any of my friends are planning to go to Disney, I will recommend you to my friends.
Thanks and have a nice weekend. The Mack family, NY

Subject: Re: reference August 22, 2007
Yes we did rent from them the last week in July. The house was immaculate, the neighbors were nice yet not intrusive. It was our opinion that the house looked better in person than online. Tom was very quick to answer all of our questions before and during the stay. We decided to heat the hot tub when we got there and they had it on the same day we asked. I would suggest that you have it heated. The house is truly about 15-20 minutes door to door to Disney, the shops are very close to the house, Universal wasn't very far either - but they are all far enough that you don't have the traffic going to and from every day. I would highly recommend that you rent the house. We are planning next year's trip already and we will definitely be using that house if it is available. Oh, and they were very fast in getting our deposit back as well! Hope you have fun!!! MA Family, New York
Owners Note: A family for Canada wanted a reference so the MA family sent the about letter of reference directly to the potential guest who will did end up reserving a date in 2008.

Please feel free to use this as a comment on your page.
We returned late last night from a wonderful week at Chatty's Dream. The house was more beautiful than the pictures online. It worked out perfectly for us. Disney was a hop skip and jump away, as were the shops and the main roads. Everything was beautiful. The people in the area were very nice. We even started looking at potentially buying in the area. For now, we are
keeping Chatty's Dream as our next vacation spot. You were great to work with - you constantly returned my emails faster than I expected and always had a great personality. I am so happy we found Chatty's Dream and you and your wife. We look forward to visiting again soon!!! Thank you so much.
We were sad to see the house in our rear view mirror but also very glad to get home. Tom, if you need any references or anyone asks to email someone for a reference, please feel free to give them my email. We were very happy with everything! and I would have NO problem telling anyone that!
Thank you again and I hope that we can visit Chatty's Dream again soon! If you EVER think of selling it, please let me know!!!!
Sincerely, M.A and Family. New York.

Tom, all went well in Florida. The house was very nice and we really enjoyed it. Although we were at the theme parks most of the time, it was great having a pool for the kids and a quiet place to stay too. Hopefully in two years we'll be able to do it again. Thanks, Calvin , Michigan
p.s. we did get to feed the cranes too. They showed up back behind the swimming pool, that was fun. Have a great summer!

Hi Tom and Kathy, I am writing to let you that we had a wonderful time at your vacation home. We had previously stayed at a vacation home about 3 years back and were very disappointed with it. So when I came across your
villa we were a bit cynical. When we arrived Thursday night we were taken aback. The house is absolutely gorgeous, spotless beautifully decorated and it had everything! The only we had to do was buy food. And the fact that Tom called the night we arrived was the icing on the cake. We decided when we
come back to Florida we will definitely stay there again. So thanks again for having such a wonderful home and giving us the pleasure to stay in it. Thanks Again, The Colberg Family, NY

Monday, April 24, 2006 3:12 PM TOM AND CATHY, we had a wonderful week. We met the Crane family (birds)and they ate crackers out of John's hand. Everyone was in awe. The crane came right up to us. Again thanks for allowing us to enjoy your home. We all loved the air hockey game, everyone
had fun with the girls tying to beat them. Your home is a great place, it's quiet and peaceful, which is a real plus when you leave the hub bub of Disney. The traffic is terrific, we can't think of anything that would make it better. MARY AND RICHARD,

NEWTON, MA (Owners note: No gurantee the Crane family will show up but nice perk when they do and they do drift by a lot)

We enjoyed our stay this past February in your Orlando home. The game room, pool, and spa got plenty of use during our week stay. After a long day at the parks it was so nice to be able to have room to relax in a house instead of a hotel room (we have 4 kids under 10 plus I brought my mom -we needed the 4 bedrooms!). Our 3 year old daughter came down with a
stomach flu for a day, I can't imagine how stressful the day would have been if we were stuck in a hotel with a sick child. Having a house allowed the other children to play in the pool and game room while the 3yr old rested in her own bedroom.
I looked at several houses on line before I choose yours...I felt more comfortable renting from someone who first of all lived in the U.S. and second of all regularly uses the house themselves. My intuition paid off, your helpfulness and communication far exceeded our expectations. Also thank you for sending the security deposit back so promptly. Please feel free to use me as a reference -GM & family , Virginia

From: natalie in MN Date: January 22, 2007 3:43:34 PM EST To: tsawyer: We received the security deposit last week. I just want to say thank you foreverything. We really enjoyed your home in Florida. It was really nice having the extra space. All the kids had their own space so if someone wanted to sleep in or stay up late they could do so without bothering another family member. The pool table was also a great hit. We even had tournaments going on. The weather was kind of grummy but we still had a
great time. Once again thank you and if we plan a trip back to Florida we may look you up again. Natalie & Family, MN

From: Stover, PA Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 6:57 AM I was thinking on the way into work this morning that I needed to e-mail you. Everything was absolutely perfect. The house was a delight, a real home away from home. Even the young children were comfortable there. We love the home's layout
with the two master suites. The baby thought she had her own personal pool in the garden tub! I didn't think we would even use the pool table & air hockey because we are usually so busy when we're there, but they nicely filled in for those "down times". We enjoyed the pool & spa every morning and again in the evenings. And of course there was Disney in between! Thank
you so much for making our stay so wonderful & relaxing. We trust that everything was found in order.
