Why Choose a Villa you ask?

In recent years discerning travelers have moved away from the traditional hotel
accommodation for their vacations and moved towards private villas.
Quite simply private villas offer you so much more than hotels or resorts.

Just a few of the many reasons why choosing a privately owned villa can be the best option.

When you Arrive - Park your car on your own private drive and open the door to your own
private oasis, all on one level and fully prepared for you. Unlike hotels there is no waiting
in line to check-in or carrying luggage up the stairs or to the lifts.

Seclusion - Villas are often more secluded, the perfect place to relax, rest and restore.
Away from the crowds, with your own private pool and gardens, a spacious home
to enjoy all by yourselves.

Space - Why coop everyone into one hotel room when each guest could have their own room
and be able to sleep or awaken as and when they want to. No whispering or sitting in the dark whilst the little ones sleep. Being able to prepare your own food in a well equipped kitchen, is a big saving on eating all your meals out.

The Experience - A villa is yours for the duration of your stay, eat, sleep, swim, come and go as you please. An opportunity to experience the American Way of Life. Meet the local people if you wish, a place to make memories which last a lifetime.

Suberb Value - The extras staying in a hotel during a vacation can really mount up drinks, snacks, telephone calls, internet, laundry and tips, thereby what appears to be a bargain at first glance, often is not when the final bill is tallied. Whispering Palms however has three bedrooms and sleeps six guests in comfort, unlike a hotel room where two guests are usually ample and 4 can be positively cramped. Villas are the ideal base to choose, for away from home business trips or that special occasion, honeymoons, birthdays, wedding anniversaries or just quite simply a wonderful vacation.........

Our previous guests comments really do confirm all of the above and more.

Thank you for making our holiday so great, we were a little nervous about what we would find but it was all better than we expected.
The villa was as we had seen in the pictures - so much so we felt like we had been there before!
We really liked the decoration and the fact the beds were already made so we were able to just crawl into bed after out trip. The villa
was very clean and fresh and was a very low maintenance villa which we like as we were on our holidays!
We really enjoyed staying in the villa and having our own space and pool. We really took advantage of the pool, it was almost too hard
to leave the house to go and visit around - we were just too happy around the pool.
We also liked the area which was not too developed or touristy. It was easy to get around and plenty of near empty beaches to visit. We appreciated that all was done in the house to make our stay more comfortable - lots of little details which made a difference like the
beds made, the shelf with the basics, the wonderful towels etc...
We had a great time - the holiday was even better than we expected. We would love to come back one day. Thank you B family. Paris

Thank you for renting us your villa, we had a fantastic family holiday and we would definitely return if we ever travel to Florida again. The children rated our week here equal to the week in Disney which I think says a lot. It was a luxury home in a peaceful and relaxing part of Florida. Many thanks T & T. UK.

Hi Lynne
Just to say thank you for renting us your home we had a fabulous week there. The weather was great and we only had one more downpour after I spoke with you and that was in the evening. Absolutely loved Gasparilla beach! It was so relaxing after the previous week in Orlando. Managed to find our way around after a couple of days without any problems, found the Marina Grill where you said the food was great and watched England's performance against the USA there! We will definitely recommend your home to anyone thinking of going to Florida
and will hopefully will go back again ourselves sometime. Best Wishes D & K. UK

Hi Lynne & Bob
First I have to say you do a brilliant job. A very beautiful house, very organized, very friendly and full of familiar pictures! Your pool is the best heated I´ve experienced so far in Florida With the internet it was fun for our daughter Claire. She´s been able to watch German TV (she´s almost 6, and acts like a teen, what´s quite stressful).
And no worrie´s about your housekeeper!!! He or she did a better job than many people in homes we visited! What means you´ve got the cleanest house that we´ve seen in the past 10 years on holiday ( 3 times in Australia, three times in USA and a couple of other adventures). Well, you´ve got a very, very, very nice home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I´m saving for such a treasure! We really appreciate your friendly way of correspondence! Kind regards K and E. Germany

Dear Lynne and Bob,
Just a quick note to say thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home. We have nd
stayed in many villas in Europe and have to say that yours is exceptional. The house is immaculate and the pool is a brilliant size. We would certainly recommend it to friends. . The children enjoyed the second week of their holiday, sailing, fishing & riding in golf carts and playing on the beach more than their first week in Disney - so that says everything. Weather was great and so were the people. Regards C and M. UK

Dear Lynne and Bob,
We had a wonderful time in your villa; it was so peaceful and sunny and warm, we really felt at home! thank you so much for letting us have such nice easter holidays! the kids have really enjoyed Florida , and are ready to go back ... so am I. That will be such a (what do you say?) souvenir or memory ? Thank you again, S and E. France

Hello Lynne and Bob.
Arrived safely home last night. We had a wonderful trip!!! You have a beautiful and comfortable home that you should be proud of. We will keep in touch. We hope we have the opportunity of staying in your home again. Wishing you a super spring and a great summer!!
Regards, D and M. Canada

Hi Lynne,
We are almost one week at home, school started, and we both started to work. My father is feeling better but it was not possible for him to
fly to Florida. He had to be in hospital until Easter Saturday. We had a wonderful time in your villa and it was much nicer than we expected it would be. We enjoyed the pool, the nice weather and your comfortable home. So I can say that this was one of our best holidays.
Thank you and best regards, M Family. Germany

Thanks for the cheque. Fantastic holiday in Florida. Weather and villa excellent. We should love to go back next year but will
have to try and organise something around our daughters Spring wedding!
Regards B and S. England

Lynne,
We enjoyed our holiday so much despite a tropical storm, your lovely house and pool made the holiday for us. It was like a home away from home. Thanks for everything and we hope to come back one day. The M Family. Ireland

Hi Lynne!
I wanted to thank you for making your Villa available for us. My family & I were stunned by your house and the shape it was in. You have done an amazing job setting it up. The decoration was great. A lot of people put up too much stuff you didn't. We have had the time of our life in your house. We were able to explore all kinds of beaches around the area. I really loved the idea of the photo-albums with pics of the cabinets. Whenever we used dishes we forgot where they originally were, but it was so easy to just look it up. Great! Thanks for the milk in the fridge
and the Olive Garden Coupons. If we were to make a vacation in Florida again. We surely would choose your place. We loved the BBQ it was great! Thank you so much for everything, we'll recommend you to friends. S Family. USA
