It's rare when you can combine both economy and luxury, but when it comes to vacation accommodations in Orlando, Florida it is indeed possible. The secret of getting luxurious accommodations at a bargain price is to rent an Orlando vacation villa instead of staying in a hotel. In case you are not familiar with vacation villas in the Orlando area, then read this short introductory article and you will have a good overview of what to expect when renting a villa or vacation home in the Orlando area.
The first thing to appreciate is that these villas and vacation homes are fully equipped and ready to enjoy. All of the homes have private, screened swimming pools and some even have spas and game rooms. The homes are fully furnished and the kitchens are well-equipped and ready to use. These villas are also air-conditioned and have home entertainment systems that include cable TV, VCR and DVD players. Some of the homes even have game rooms that include billiards, table tennis and air hockey, and play stations for kids.
How big are the villas and rental homes? You can start with a two bedroom condo and go right up to a six bedroom, four bath mansion. It all depends on how much space you need. But whatever size rental home you choose, you will always end up with more space than you would get if you had chosen to stay in a hotel. The amount of space that you have is perhaps the greatest advantage of staying in a vacation villa. Think about it; you don't normally live in one or two rooms, so why spend your vacation cramped up into small accommodations?
In case you are wondering about the location of the vacation villas, you will be happy to know that they are very close to Disney World and the other attractions of Orlando. In fact, if you like you can rent a vacation villa that is only five minutes away from the gates of Disney World. Not only are the homes well situated in regards to their proximity to vacation attractions, they are also near shopping centers and restaurants. To sum it up, you will not be stuck out in the sticks, but rather, you will be in a prime location where you can easily enjoy your stay in Orlando.
This might sound like it will cost you a lot but when you look into the actual prices of these rental homes, then it gets mighty interesting. If you need a four bedroom villa you can have one for as little as $160 per night in the low season and no more than $199 per night during the peak holiday season. Suppose you are traveling with a family or group of six people then the per-person cost is less than $40 per day even during the peak period.
One thing to remember, because these vacation homes are such a bargain it is best to reserve your home well in advance, especially if you plan to visit Orlando during Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter or Thanksgiving. So, start looking for the vacation villa that is best for you and get ready to enjoy your vacation in style.
