“Thank you for making our family vacation everything
(and more) than we had hoped for.”
The ALL STAR Story of the Month for September is from the Sullivan, Miele, Sullivan and Chamberlain Families From New York.
“We absolutely loved our Orlando vacation. We traveled with 6 adults and 3 children (4 years and younger). The house we stayed in was perfect – 5 bedroom/5 bath, which worked wonderful for 11 people!” said Mrs. Sullivan about their 4-Star Disney area vacation home in Windsor Hills.
“The service ALL STAR provided equally matched. When I first reached out for information, I knew we’d stay with this company. The service representative was so informative and suggested this home because of our family arrangement – additional safety fence around the pool and close proximity to the playground.”
