What Our Homeowners Are Saying

Since day one back in 2004, we've had the pleasure of working with some truly amazing homeowners- many of whom have been with us from the very beginning! (Yes, really!) Over the years, we've shared laughs, solved problems, and built strong relationships that go far beyond just business.

Below you'll find some kind words from our past and present homeowners. Whether they're state side or across the ocean, they trust Florida Ideal to keep their dream home in tip-top shape- and we couldn't be prouder to be part of that journey.

Florida Ideal Testimonials

Homeowner Testimonials

"Pattie and Stuart make a great team - very reliable and trustworthy and easy to get on with. Communication was always excellent - any time we emailed them with a query or request, it was responded to very quickly. Issues with the villa were dealt with and we were always kept informed. Monthly statements were great and very transparent and their online booking system works really well. We received lots of feedback from guests that our Florida home was lovely and well maintained. We would definitely recommend."

Best Wishes,
Linda and Tony Ecuyer

"We just wanted to express our gratitude for the professional way in which you have always managed our villa in Florida. Your prices have always been very reasonable and the level of care never compromised. Special thanks to Billy for maintaining the pool in top condition and dealing with any breakdowns promptly. You've always been on hand to resolve issues quickly, including when we've made booking errors. Thank you to you and your team for always looking after our home."

Kind Regards,
Gareth & Gill Dennett

"We can highly recommend Pattie and Stuart's Management Company to anyone looking for one. We have been with them for over 8 years without a single problem. Guests love the service and high cleaning standards. Florida Ideal keeps it small and personal, and we always have the same cleaning and maintenance team. They're efficient, friendly, consistent, reliable, and very reasonably priced. You cannot find a more honest, reliable company."

Kind Regards,
Gillian & Iain Thompson

"After an unpleasant and expensive experience with our first management company, we were very concerned that all were going to be the same and searched for a long while before approaching Florida Ideal. That was 5 years ago-and what a good move it was. The first and probably most important point we found is that they are always accessible to deal with queries and respond to guests 24/7.

As owners who are 4,000 miles from our villa, we need someone who will take as much pride in our home as we do. We're aware that this can be a once-in-a-lifetime holiday for some of our guests, and our villa must meet all expectations. With the help of Stuart, Pattie, and their team, it does just that-resulting in a regular flow of repeat bookings.

We've given them full permission to spend whatever is necessary to maintain our villa to the highest standards, which is something I would never have done previously. But I have to say that in all the time we've been with them, they have never bought or replaced anything without our permission-unless it was urgent-and even then they only spent what was absolutely necessary and detailed it in the next statement. It's a great relief to know we don't have to worry about unexpected or questionable bills like we did before.

Billy, the Florida Ideal pool guy, is as thorough as they come. Our pool and hot tub are always sparkling, the filters are cleaned regularly, and because of this, they need changing less frequently. Honestly, there isn't much he can't fix-he's obviously been in the business for years and is a great source of information.

Over the years, we've come to trust Pattie and Stuart to look after our home so completely that we no longer think of them as a management company, but more as friends and partners in the running of our villa. We firmly believe you will not find a better, more caring, and honest management company for your Florida home-and we thoroughly recommend them."

Gordon & Anne Ford

"We are delighted with the service we get from Florida Ideal. We've been with them for nearly 10 years, since we first bought our home. The standard of care is second to none. Guests constantly compliment us on how lovely the home is. The cleaners and pool guy are amazing, and nothing is ever too much trouble for Pattie and Stuart. We look forward to many more years together."
