About Us...

Many guests like to know a bit about who they are renting the villa from, so we would like to introduce ourselves to you and tell you a little about ourselves...

We are Neil & Camilla Heron and have a young son Alex and daughter Marissa. We own both Sunshine Villa and Sundance Villa. Sunbeam Villa and Sunray Villa are owned by other family members, however we arrange all the booking and administration of the villas on their behalf.

We live in Dorset in England, although Neil is originally from Scotland. We met whilst we both worked for a major airline based at London Heathrow, but Camilla had to stop flying when Alex came along. Looking for an alternative to flying that Camilla could use her knowledge of travel and customer service, whilst being able to work from home, we bought and started renting our first overseas property - Sunshine Villa. We previously had experience renting property in the UK and continue to have a contract with Honda Racing for property near their UK headquarters (and wish them well for this years Formula 1 season!)

With our experience in both property rentals and the travel industry put to good use we soon found that we could not meet the demand for Sunshine Villa, especially during peak seasons, so decided to invest in a second home - Sundance Villa. As we were also getting lots of enquiries from our previous guests that had rented Sunshine Villa with their extended families but wanted to return on their own and didn't need such a large home, we decided to go for a smaller 4 bedroom villa but to make it even more luxurious inside.

We particularly aim to cater in our villas for families, especially with younger children, as we know from our own experience that providing some of the extra facilities we offer can take the stress out of the travelling and make a more enjoyable vacation for everyone.

Galle Tsunami 2004

As well as having our own children, Alex and Marissa, we also sponsor two girls in Sri Lanka that lost parents in the Tsunami that devastated Asia in December 2004. The idea is to provide financial support for them throughout their schooling so that they can continue to get an education rather than having to find work at an early age. Hopefully they will continue to learn and eventually be able to find better employment to support the rest of their family and make a difference in their community.
