Vacation Villa Homes Vs Hotel Rooms
When it comes down to it everyone loves a bargain. Probably one of the best kept secrets in Orlando is Vacation Villa rental. Unlike other places where you see rentals for $2-3000/GBP 1000-1500 per week for some pretty mediocre properties, Orlando has some real bargains.
If you a large family, say 8 people that are traveling to Orlando and stay for a week, work out the cost to stay in an Hotel, even a budget hotel. It would cost somewhere in the region of $1500-$2000, this is assuming it's peak times and 4 people are crammed into an economy room. With little or no privacy.
The same 8 people can get a vacation villa in Orlando for around the same price, have so much more space, their own private pool and stay in luxury. What happens in a hotel room when the kids go to bed? Mum and Dad have to lay on the spare bed and keep the TV low so as not to disturb the kids. In a vacation home the kids go to bed and Ma & Pa, get to relax and have some quality time together before turning in to their own bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
Many villa owners deal directly with the guest so you can be sure that you are getting exactly what you want and know exactly where you are staying etc. Most villas have cot/cribs & highchairs for babies and many have strollers too. So when you look at it there is no comparison to a hotel room. The communities these homes are built on are well groomed and are very attractive. There are many villas offering conservation or lake views etc. I speak as a villa owner myself and for many years I used hotels even though there is just the Two of us we decided to try a vacation home and we are glad we did. It was the last time we used a Hotel for our stay. We like the fact that we could cook some of our own meals if wanted as all homes come with a fully equipped kitchen, we could do washing whenever we wanted without having to track down a communal washing machine and it was so nice to sit out on the pool deck, take a dip in the pool whenever we wanted and maybe have a nice BBQ.
If all this sounds good to you take a look at the many villa rental website on the Internet and see what they have to offer.
