About

I'm Andrew and my wife's name is Beth. We love to travel! Over the years we have had our best experiences staying in villas and condos instead of hotels. We have found it is a more comfortable and private way to spend time with family and friends. We love our Florida vacation home and always look forward to hosting guests from around the world! We look forward to hosting you. Andrew + Beth Calabay Gold

In itself, the property was ok. It’s a great size, with everything you need included. We had an issue with a leak and air conditioning that was sorted quickly. That being said the air conditioning was not particularly cool a lot of the time and the coolest we could move it to was 73degrees. The 2nd double bedroom was particularly warm and my son had to use a fan every night too. The games room was unusable because of the heat in there. We were disappointed in finding 2 dead cockroaches, 1 in the living room behind the sofa and 1 in the bedroom upstairs on arrival. Makes me wonder if it had been cleaned a few weeks before our arrival and had been left empty. Furthermore the downstairs flooring was dirty, walking around in white socks is not recommended. We paid extra for pool heating and it seemed that it wasn’t particularly warm at all. We only used the pool a couple of times because of this. On checkout day, we were interrupted at 9.10am by the cleaners just walking in, because there was no car in the drive they assumed the villa was empty and just entered! Then asked us to start the washing of towels for them! A little cheeky and unnecessary I believe! Communication with the owner was always quick and reported issues dealt with.

Hi Louise, Thank you for your detailed review and for choosing to stay with us. I’m glad to hear that the property met your needs in size and amenities, and I appreciate your positive comments on our responsiveness and quick resolution of the maintenance issues. We strive to provide a comfortable stay for every guest, and I apologize for the areas where we fell short. I’m sorry the pool heating didn’t meet expectations – we will assess this to ensure the heater is working at full capacity. I’ve also addressed your concerns about cleanliness with our cleaning team to make sure our standards are upheld. Please be assured we are reinforcing protocol with our staff to prevent early entry in the future. Regarding the cancellation policy, I understand the disappointment, especially given the unique circumstances. Like most vacation rentals, we rely on our policies to provide a balance for our guests and our business. I appreciate your understanding, and we’re always open to discussing booking options or adjustments in advance. Thank you again for your feedback – it helps us to continue improving for future guests. Andrew Calabay Gold

With excellent customer service and information about directions / arrival / wifi / essentials well before we arrived, we had everything we needed for a fantastic family holiday staying at Calabay Gold. Lovely well-furnished holiday home with literally all the modern day requirements needed for a relaxing and fulfilling vacation - home from home. Very clean, welcoming and perfectly located for access to the highway network for shopping, trips out to the theme parks or days out further afield !! Very best wishes Emma and family

Excellent place to stay. The advert was as expected. The only downside was the travel length of time to go anywhere, but it is the same for all the places and nothing to do with the villa. My family enjoyed the pool and the villa was very clean and tidy.

We really enjoyed our stay the villa was very clean and very well kept had lots of space and facilities, only thing I would suggest if a family like us we like to Hoover and clean as much as we can but there wasn’t much cleaning supplies available. Was great being 10 mins from Walmart and 25-30 mins from Disney. Communication with owner was amazing they sorted a problem we had right away so that was fantastic. Would 100% recommend and would stay again thank you

An excellent stay!! Our host was superb... we booked just before the COVID Pandemic, had to change dates twice 2 years on the trot. As being UK citizens we could not enter the USA. Once we were allowed to take our holiday, the host was so supportive and accommodating to fit us in - and not charging any more as its was in school holiday time.

An amazing two weeks in this two storey heaven. The villa really made our holiday. We have been staying in villas in Orlando for 15 years and Calabay Gold is by far the best. The gofer turtles at the end of the garden were an unexpected bonus!

Our family holiday to Florida was very much planned with the parks and rest time in the Villa. The villa was perfect for our family of nine, six adults, 3 children. the villa has everything you need and very comfortable. Andrew the owner is very quick to respond to any questions you have to ask, for example we didn’t know how to connect to the outdoor speakers, also our grandson got an ear infection and Andrew advised us of the doctors nearby we could visit. I would highly recommend Andrew’s villa and want to say thank you Andrew for all your help.

Fantastic villa capped off our fantastic holiday The villa was spacious and very well furnished. Everything and more was supplied, lots of pool towels, clean fresh white towels, a ninja blender, hair dryers, kettle, more than enough for our family of 9. Communication with our hosts was excellent especially when we had a power outage. Situated in a quiet residential area, there was perfect quiet after long days at the parks. We would definitely recommend a stay there.

Great Location, Beautiful Property Very pleased with the stay. The house was great and spacious, and the pool was a nice touch for our days in. Andrew was great and always very responsive, would definitely stay again even with the longer drive to Disney.
