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."

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!"

| 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." |
You probably have a time in mind – but
if you are still in the planning stage and have some flexibility you
might want to consider the following:
![]()
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.

| Hot tip: What
happens if your travel schedule does not mesh with the check-in
or check- out times? But if we have to double up crews to accommodate a change-over we must levy a small charge. |
Families
can pay as low as $12.00 per person per night.
Four things affect the price you will be offered:
- how many nights
- time of year [seasonal prices]
- number of bedrooms, and
- 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.

For 2007 through 2008, the seasons are:
|
Low: |
March
23rd to June 28th, 2008 |
|
Peak: |
|
|
Holiday: |
|
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!]

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"

that time, if the offer is not accepted, the home will be returned to

else.

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.Al & Joan F. Dingman, Pennsylvania
