Orlando Vacation Home Reservations
- Can be a bit of a confusing mess?
So by now you have probably logged on to 20 different vacation home management company websites and a bunch of “for rent by owner” rentals, and looked at hundreds or even thousands of pages?
Most vacation home sites allow you to surf through hundreds of homes in an attempt to allow you to try and pick which home, community and location is better. How can you figure this out only by looking at pictures? Well, it’s very difficult. This is one more reason why you should work with a credible and reliable vacation home management company.
Vacation homes do need to be rated fairly, accurately and independently using standard scoring. We try to provide these vacation rental reviews on our site.
Standard scores should be available for:
1. Location
2. Quality of Home
3. Quality of Community
4. Overall Score
For example, a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in Orlando with an overall score of Four Stars might rent for $180/per night, but a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home with an overall score of Three Stars might rent for $150/per night over the same period. Once a home is scored, the potential guest now has an actual value criterion.
Recently we visited Emerald Island, a great community of nice homes in a good location, and then we traveled towards Poinciana and came across a vacation home community (which shall remain anonymous), and the community amenities and location were very much inferior to Emerald Island. If you don’t know the area, and you are booking via the Internet based on photos and web sites, you could very easily end up in an inferior vacation home community. This is fine, as long as it is reflected in the rental price, and the consumer has full information.
However, the consumer often has no idea of the location significance, quality of community or quality of home they are about to rent. Instead, they have to view thousands of pages on complex property management sites hoping they pick the right home.
Once again we recommend you use only the most credible and professional of vacation home management companies.
