When evaluating options for your Orlando vacation, don’t forget to look into an Orlando vacation rental. Orlando vacation rentals offer affordable amenities. Affordable vacation home luxuries such as pools, multiple televisions, kitchens and washing machines are all amenities that can be selected at a reasonable rate, especially if you compare a vacation home with multiple bedrooms against one or more hotel rooms for a larger family.
Although hotels have common area laundry areas, schlepping clothes to and from the hotel room is no fun. Vacation homes are normally equipped with appliances that make clean-up after a long vacation so convenient. Many vacation homes also have multiple televisions that make relaxation much easier after a long day at the parks, and no hassles about what to watch with a normal hotel stay.
Other affordable amenities include kitchens that help defray food costs for serving the whole family. Self-catering meals cannot be overlooked in terms of saving money on a tight travel budget. Another convenient item is your own pool which most vacation homes have at your leisure. Once the hot weather returns to the area, a cool pool in your very own residence makes your vacation that more enjoying.
Please consult the exclusive “vacation community review” and opinion section of our website. These reviews are independent and impartial, and can take much of the risk out of selecting your Orlando vacation rental by rating the individual communities and subdivisions.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Orlando to Daytona makes for a great ride (approximately 50 minutes). In addition, you can ride in convoy which is always a blast.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

We started this blog with this tagline promise “… the inside scoop”. We never thought good news would be this hard to find much less discussed publicly.
Although it’s no large consolation for Orlando villa homeowners who are losing their homes to foreclosure, the recent 50%+ slide in petroleum prices
Gas / Petrol Prices Down
should be a big boon for the Orlando vacation home industry/market. This would include both the domestic and international travel market that is desperate for some good news. This drop in fuel should help bring about firmer occupancy demand for the Orlando vacation home market. We have established in another blog that vacation villas in Orlando can present a great value to consumers in general when purchased at a distressed level from a bank. Those on the ground in Orlando estimate that transient occupancy demand is now off by as much as 15% year over year due to the recession. Disney attendance by all accounts is off as well.
As stated in another area of the blog, one cannot be sure where the bottom is for actual vacation home pricing. There are many factors that come into play in evaluating this. However, one can be sure that lower costs for petro should eventually help turn the travel market in the right direction to the benefit of vacation home owners and consumers. Demand in the vacation home rental consumer market does play a role in the valuation equilibrium which is played out in the form of net rental revenues to the home owner. Let’s hope that will be the case moving into 2009.
