Traumurlaub in der Villa Colleen


Traumurlaub in der Villa Colleen

Gerhard W.

Liebe Familie Biendl,

Schon zum dritten Mal durften wir in ihrer Villa Colleen Ferien verbringen und wir waren erneut ganz begeistert. Wir hatten uns sehr auf den Urlaub gefreut und wurden nicht enttäuscht.

Unsere Terminanfrage wurde innerhalb weniger Stunden beantwortet. Da unser Wunschtermin noch frei war, mussten wir auch nicht lange überlegen.

Herr Biendl buchte uns auch noch die passenden Flüge und den Mietwagen dazu, so dass wir uns um nichts mehr kümmern mussten.

Bei unserer Ankunft haben wir wie immer alles so vorgefunden, wie wir es gewohnt sind. Wir fühlten uns sogleich wieder wie zu Hause.

Alles, was man braucht, ist vorhanden. Badetücher, Strandliegen, Kaffeemaschine, Küchenausstattung, usw. Dementsprechend wenig Gepäck mussten wir mitnehmen.

Neu war dieses Mal, dass die Teppiche im Wohnzimmer und im Schlafzimmer, die schon leichte Verschleißerscheinungen aufwiesen, durch Fliesen ersetzt wurden. Das wertet die Villa noch mehr auf.

Wir haben bereits für nächstes Jahr gebucht und freuen uns schon sehr darauf.

Vermieter-Kommentar:Lieber Gerhard, vielen Dank fuer die sehr nette und ausfuehrliche Rezension. Ihr seid immer willkommen in der Villa Colleen.——english—

Dear Biendl family, this was the third time we were allowed to spend our holidays in your Villa Colleen and we were thrilled again. We were very much looking forward to our holidays and were not disappointed. Our request for an appointment was answered within a few hours. Since our desired date was still free, we didn’t have to think long. Mr. Biendl also booked us the matching flights and the rental car, so we didn’t have to worry about anything anymore. On our arrival, as always, we found everything as we were used to it. We immediately felt at home again. Everything you need is there. Bath towels, beach chairs, coffee machine, kitchen equipment, etc. As a result, we had to take a correspondingly small amount of luggage with us. New this time was that the carpets in the living room and in the bedroom, which already showed slight signs of wear, were replaced by tiles. That adds even more value to the villa. We have already booked for next year and are looking forward to it very much.

Liebe Familie Biendl,

wir haben zu Zweit 2 wunderschöne Wochen in Ihrem Haus verbracht.

Alles war vom ersten bis zum letzten Tag perfekt.

Schweren Herzens müssen wir übermorgen unseren Rückflug ins kalte Bayern antreten.

Aber so wie Sie uns kennen, werden wir sicherlich nicht das letzte Mal hier gewesen sein.

Unser Tip:

Wer am Samstag Abend gerne Live-Musik in einer urigen Westernbar erleben möchte, dem empfehlen wir den „White Buffalo Saloon“ in der McIntosh Rd., ca. 100 m links, wenn man die Clark Rd. auswärts fährt.

Herzliche Grüße

Agnes & Gerhard

From the moment I arrived I felt at home. A few lights were left on to welcome us as well as snacks and wine. Everything is exactly as described on website and all pictures are up to date. Big spacious home gives everyone personal space when needed. Fully stocked, even all you could need for a trip to the beach. All kinds of info, pamphlets, maps.

Quiet neighborhood with friendly people, great for long, leisurely walks and even beautiful sunsets close by. Great pool, well maintained. Screened in backyard is ideal, no insects or bugs.

Very central area, good driving, easy to get around. Within an hour from Tampa, Fort Myers, St Pete’s. Lots to see and do. Siesta Key beach is the best I’ve seen so far, close by about 15mins drive.

Henry was very attentive to our needs and checked in with us periodictly to make sure all was to our liking. Very courteous, generous and helpful. Both Henry and Sabine are friendly, easy going and aim to please.

Would definitely recommend this home to everyone. Hopefully I can return again in the future. Thank you for making our stay comfortable and perfect.

What a great vacation home in Sarasota! My husband and I along with our daughter, son-in-law and their 3 children arrived and were thrilled with such a wonderful home to stay in during our vacation. Villa Colleen pictures on the website are just like the home. It was well furnished with everything we needed and more. The pool was a major plus and we all enjoyed it every day. The home is close to several beautiful beaches (our fav was Siesta Key) but we also visited Lido and Turtle beach. There were beach chairs, beach towels and umbrella waiting for us – they thought of everything for convenience! We were close to — Shopping, Food, Entertainment, Fishing, Medical, etc. There were no traffic issues and the neighborhood was quiet and easy to maneuver. The home was so comfortable – we truly felt like we were „home“ while we were there. We had hoped that our son & daughter-in-law could join us – there would have been plenty of room but they missed out this year. We certainly recommend this property and hope to visit again ourselves sometime. Five stars were not enough for this rating. Thanks Henry for allowing us to stay in your home! Sabine was great too and had a welcome snack for our family upon arrival. Wonderful trip!!

We stayed the month of February and enjoyed escaping part of a horrible winter. We brought our boat and for convenience kept at Stickney Pt Marina. Plenty of space and everything works! Check out the German deli on rt 41.

Vermieter-Kommentar:Hi John, thank you very much for your nice review! It is nice to hear, that you have wonderful 4 weeks also in boating and playing golf and we would be happy, when you come sometimes again! You and your wife are alway very friendly to give me tips for boating, golf and the house. You wrote me such a nice mail and the tips in it, I copied in my answer! Hope this was fine::::::: Erika and Henry (owners)

John wrote some tips in his mail:

As for the boat, I rented a space at the Siesta Key

Marina. The fee is $300 for the month but they launch your

boat daily if needed and it is kept on a rack when not in

use. They also flush the boat and motor each time it is

taken out of the water. Veru convenient. There are also

free launching ramps that are available, but we decided to

enjoy the convenience while on vacation.

As for golf, there are lots of courses to play, however

most are private. Serenoa is the closest and is very busy.

Mystic Creek is another option but I haven’t played it

yet. I have heard the University course is excellent, but

I haven’t played it yet. Bobby Jones is also an Option.

Some restraurants you may like to visit….

Barnacle Bills, Marina Jack’s, State Street Eating Room

and Cocktails (downtown great for lunch) Cafe L’Europe

very good! We also found a very good German meat and deli.

Greir’s On Tamiami just North of Vamo. You would like it

I am certain. German beers, wines, sausages and pastry.

Yum.

We are four mature couples who just spent two weeks at this lovely, spacious and very bright and clean home.

The beautiful pool and lanai area was spacious and well equipped with outdoor furniture sets in several areas, providing group or individual areas for relaxation and enjoyment.

The owners were very attentive by calling to ensure that we had everything that we required.

The home was nicely laid out and well stocked with dishes, glasses, pots, pans, etc.

The area is a nice quiet neighbourhood and is close to all amenities and shopping.

The Realtor that we booked through was very prompt and professional.

We would definitely return to this home.

Terry and all.

Vermieter-Kommentar:Hello Terry,

Thank you very much again, for the very nice evaluation. I’m really happy to hear, that all of you had wonderful holidays. We would be happy to hear of you in the future and to welcome you as our guests again. I also thank Sabine, who’s on the spot and cares excellently of our guests. (She speaks German and English!)

Wir sind vier schon etwas ältere Ehepaare, die gerade zwei Wochen in diesem schönen, geräumigen und sehr hellen, sauberen Haus verbracht haben. Der schöne Pool und die Terrasse waren sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Neben einem Gruppentisch und einzelnen Plätzen zur Entspannung gab es auf dem Grundstück Außenmöbel in mehreren Bereichen. Die Eigentümer waren sehr aufmerksam, da sie uns telefonisch kontaktierten, um sich zu erkundigen, dass alles nach unseren Wünschen ist. Das Haus ist sehr schön gestaltet und mit Geschirr, Gläsern, Töpfen, Pfannen etc. gut ausgestattet. Es befindet sich in einer netten und ruhigen Nachbarschaft, nicht weit entfernt von vielen Freizeitangeboten und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Unsere Vor-Ort-Betreuung war sehr professionell. Wir würden dieses Haus sehr gerne erneut besuchen.

Antwort vom Vermieter:

dürfen! Dank auch an unsere Sabine vor Ort, die sich wirklich immer

vorzüglich um unsere Gäste kümmert (spricht deutsch u. englisch)

This was our first home rental experience and the first to rent this beautiful home. We walk in and were immediately at home. Rented for 4 weeks giving us the opportunity to explore Sarasota to the fullest, coming home in the evening to a pool side diner and relaxing in the yard for countless hours. The owners called on occasions to confirm that everything was ok, nice and courteous.

Vermieter-Kommentar:Dear GL

Thank you very much for your nice feedback. Im really happy to hear, that you had nice holidays

house in the beautiful Sarasota. Best wishes Erika and Henry (Owners)

translated to German:

Das war unsere erste Ferienhaus-Erfahrung im Urlaub. Beim Eintreten in das wunderschhöne Haus

fühlten wir uns sofort wie zu Hause. Dadurch, dass wir das Haus für vier Wochen mieteten, hatten wir die Möglichkeit

Sarasota bis ins Kleinste zu entdecken. Zudem konnten wir als wir am Abend heimkamen, unser Abendessen neben

dem Pool genießen und uns stundenlang im Außenbereich entspannen. Außerdem erkundigten sich die Besitzer sofort,

ob den alles zu unseren Wünschen sei. GL Ottawa,Ca
