Villas?
What are villas??

Here, regular full-sized homes ["detached houses" in UK speak] are often called villas.

Probably a nod to our colonial past, the typical style is high ceilings, open plan & lots of light.

House, home & villa mean the same.

Apprehensive?

I would like to say that having found the information on the Internet, I was a little apprehensive about what the house might look like, but the minute we drove up I was very pleased.

The house was very well appointed, and the special touches left by your housekeeping staff showed that they really wanted to make our stay special.

It truly was a memorable vacation, and I can say the accommodations are a large part of the memories.

Thank you so much!

Step 2:  Location, Location, Location.


Let's be very clear here.


Location is important. Very important.


You don't want to be far from the parks and waste precious vacation time each day coming and going.

On the other hand there is much more to location than simple distance. Some of the developments are not aging well. Some are downright ugly.

Click on the map on the right to see all our locations. Or for a more detailed discussion of the general area and our locations including details of the various developments please click here

 

"The villa was in an ideal location..."

"Our children loved the location..."

"It was so conveniently located..."

"The parks were conveniently close..."

"What a great location!"

"The location is very convenient for parks."

Step 3:  The Villas


Our villas are regular family ["detached"] houses. Less than two years old, spotlessly clean and furnished to a high standard.

All villas have a private in-ground pool just for you.
Many have an attached spa
[hot tub]

We select villas for our "fleet" with south facing pools. In fact, we try to select groups of villas to be interchangeable. Then, if something unforeseen were to happen, we are able to substitute another villa having the same features and amenities.

That's a great comfort.

Fully equipped:

Fully furnished, fully equipped with a full-sized kitchen, full-sized washer dryer and every knife, fork, spoon, pot, pan, towel and linen you are likely to need. Even pool toys.

Just how well equipped?

Fully!

"The villas were spectacular..."

"We had everything we needed..."


"The house was so pretty! I was amazed when we walked in and saw how lovely it was decorated, and how clean and nice everything was."

"The standard of accommodation was first class and matched anywhere we have stayed throughout the world..."

"…everything needed was right at our finger tips."

"It was stocked with all the kitchen items (plates, silverware, cooking utensils etc.) linens were supplied, and even had a washer and dryer and a dishwasher."

Step 4:  What size of villa do you need?


Remember, we rent by the house not by the number of people in the party.

County law limits the number of people
(including infants) occupying rental villas as follows:
(assumes 2 will use the sleep sofa)

3 Bedroom

4 Bedroom

5 Bedroom

6 Bedroom

8

10

12

14

 

We have 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedroom homes.

4 bedroom homes are the "standard" and are the most common and best value for money.

Most villas also has a queen sized sleep sofa.

3, 4 & most 5 bedroom villas are one level ranch style.

Some 5 and all 6 bedroom homes use a two level floor plan. Guests with mobility issues - please tell us when requesting an offer.

"...lots of room..." "... surprisingly spacious!"

"...very relaxing and so spacious..."

"...It was clean and spacious."

"The 3 kids each had their own bedroom, (which made for a lot less arguing!)..."


"All nine of our family members were extremely comfortable in your very inviting villa."

"...and certainly large enough for our whole family to enjoy!
"

All our villas are less than 2 years old - many are brand new.

Our villas are fully equipped - every towel, knife, fork, plate ... just how well equipped?

Click here to read how well equipped these villas really are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hot tip:

Have a large group?

We have a lot of villas in our fleet which means we can provide several villas side-by-side to accommodate large groups.

Special rates too.

Please email Roger for details by clicking here.

"...your suggestion of having two villas was a great idea, the kids and their parents stayed in one, those of us that didn't have kids stayed in the other."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     
   

Step 5:  What time is best for you?


You probably have a time in mind – b
ut if you are still in the planning stage and have some flexibility you might want to consider the following:

  • Weather. Generally always wonderful, still some times suit some people better than others. Click here for a glimpse at our annual weather pattern.
  • Crowds. Most people will be visiting the parks and by clicking here you can see how busy the parks will be for certain times of the year.
  • Rates. Our rental strategies are a little different to our competitors.

    We are pretty much full year round so our season variations in rental rates ["surcharges"] are smaller than the others. Still, there are seasonal price differences to consider. More on that a little later.


Check-in and check-out times

  • Check-in time is after 4.00 pm on the first day.
  • Check-out is before 10.00 am on the last day.

Why these times?

We are nearly always full. [We must be doing something right!]

Most likely your villa will be enjoyed by other guests before and after your visit.

So our hard working professional cleaning, maintenance and inspection teams will have from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm to make your villa new again.

Click here to see how busy the parks are for your time of year.

 

 

 

 

 


Hot tip:

What happens if your travel schedule does not mesh with the check-in or check- out times?

We will always try to accommodate a late check out or early check in.

We try to do this without charge by smart crew scheduling.

But if we have to double up crews to accommodate a change-over we must levy a small charge.


 

   

Step 6:  How much is it going to cost?

- A guide to our rental rates

Families can pay as low as $12.00 per person per night.

Four things affect the price you will be offered:

  1. how many nights
  2. time of year [seasonal prices]
  3. number of bedrooms, and
  4. how many villas are left.
    [our vacancy rate]

[remember we rent by the house not the number of people in the party]

1. The number of nights:

Longer stays cost less per day than short stays.

The best value is a stay of 7 days or longer.

We assess a modest "short stay surcharge" for shorter stays. Read why and see examples by clicking here



2. Number of bedrooms:

We have 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedroom villa homes.

As you would expect villas with more bedrooms cost more.

6 bedroom villas cost a little more proportionately than 5 bedroom homes because they have so much more living space and are usually of a two story design.

Read more and compare the average cost per day for these villas by clicking here.



3. Time of year.

For 2007 through 2008, the seasons are:

Low:


April 15th to June 30th, 2007

September 6th to November 16th, 2007

November 24th to December 19th, 2007


January 4th to March 14th, 2008

March 23rd to June 28th, 2008

September 1st to November 21st, 2008

November 29th to December 19th, 2008


Peak:


March 10th to March 19th, 2007

July 1st to September 5th, 2007


June 29th to August 31st, 2008

Holiday:


March 31st to April 14th, 2007

November 17th to November 23rd, 2007

December 20th 2007 to January 3rd 2008

March 15th to March 28th, 2008

November 22nd to November 28th, 2008

December 20th 2008 to January 2nd 2009


We add a small seasonal surcharge for the more popular times.

We may have the lowest season surcharges in the business!

At some point you may be wondering - WHY?

Why are our rates so low? - especially the peak times.

Here's why.

Our surcharges are lower than many of our competitors because we keep full year round and don't have to make a year's worth of money in the peak season.

Better for us and better for you.

Not good for the competition. [But, we will just have to live with that!]

Read more and see how the seasons compare by clicking here.

4. How many villas are left.
[our vacancy rate]

We are growing all the time.

Prices are adjusted slightly [up and down] depending on how full we are. We aim to have our villas full all the time.

When you request an offer, our reservation system will automatically take into account the number of days, the season, the size of the villa, our vacancy rate, and any applicable special offers.

That's why it's important to book early.

Chances are you will get an even better deal.

And that free spa upgrade!


"Your villa is the best value we have rented."

"Out of all the places we have stayed in Florida, this is by far the best value for your money."

"...we couldn’t have asked for a better time or value for our money."

"...and a tremendous value compared to a hotel room."

"I have paid twice more for much less. Perfect. Unbelievable."


"As an experienced traveler (15th time here) to the Disney area, this rates as the best accommodations thus far. If you are looking for a clean, spacious, and well-situated home at a reasonable price then there is no need to look any further"

We stayed at a wonderful 4-bedroom house with 3 baths, a built in pool on the screened in patio, central air and a 2-car garage, for a week, and the cost was less than a decent hotel!

Our 3 kids each had their own bedroom, ...and we weren't cramped into 1 or 2 small rooms.

It was stocked with all the kitchen items (plates, silverware, cooking utensils etc.) linens were supplied, and even had a washer and dryer and a dishwasher.
