As a fellow biker, please allow me to explain why staying in an Orlando vacation home can make a lot of sense for Daytona Bike Week 2009 – Feb 27-March 8.

1. The cost of renting an entire house in Orlando will probably cost less than renting a cramped bedroom in a fully booked and expensive Daytona motel.
2. Most Orlando vacation homes have garages. If you own a bike you are proud of, the last thing you want to do is leave it outside at night. Request a vacation home with a garage.
3. Orlando to Daytona makes for a great ride (approximately 50 minutes). In addition, you can ride in convoy which is always a blast.
4. Daytona’s bike week can get wild at night. If you want to relax, staying in an Orlando vacation home can make a lot of sense.
5. You can rent a vacation home in Orlando with your friends, as most homes have three to seven bedrooms, private pools and fully equipped kitchens.
6. Orlando has THE big theme parks. If you come down for bike week and stay in Orlando, you can also visit Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World to name a few.

So if you are coming to Daytona for bike week 2009, consider staying in an Orlando vacation home. For thousands of bikers every year, it just makes a lot more sense. Consult our independent community reviews as a consumer resource when selecting your vacation home.
