The Lighthouse Key Resort & Spa Featured Guest Review for February 2011 is by the DeFranzo Family from Massachusetts who spent their Orlando vacation in 6-2002 LK-LK #101, a 4 bedroom Disney area vacation condo:
“From the gate house to the service staff I was always greeted with a hello and a smile. All requests were handled with courtesy and a ‘can do’ attitude. That service coupled with such a fine facility made my stay an extreme pleasure. My entire family was impressed! I am well traveled, have a magnificent home and thus difficult to please…I was pleased! Thank you Lighthouse Key Resort & Spa!”

The ALL STAR Story of the Month for November is by the Hite Family from Virginia who stayed at Windsor Palms Resort.
“We stayed in an ALL STAR vacation home the week of Thanksgiving 2009. My wife, two daughters (ages 12 and 4), my parents and I planned a trip to Walt Disney World early this past summer and were thinking of booking a suite in the same hotel we stayed in two years ago on a visit to WDW.”
“But after some research by my wife, we discovered that ALL STAR Vacation Homes was a much better choice for our family. Not only was it less expensive, but it had a private, heated pool. The house also provided us with much more room and privacy.”
“All six of us agree that when we get the chance to return to Walt Disney World there is no better place for our family to stay than in an ALL STAR vacation home.”
Read their story and enter for your chance to Win a 7-night stay with ALL STAR!
