The unique characteristic is the vast number of villa options in or near Walt Disney World® which places the local rental market in a class of its own.

As a testament to the sheer size and variety of the area  Orlando vacation home rental market, we recently wrote a blog piece about the economic impact of vacation rentals on Central Florida. It is estimated that over 7% of all vacation rentals in the United States are located right here in Central Florida!

Why is this important for the average vacationer to Orlando and Central Florida? Vacation lodging options are the name of the game. Disney vacationers may be especially attracted by hotel discounts and packages, but may never consider the benefits of luxurious villas near Animal Kingdom® and/or the Magic Kingdom®.

• Disney villas located within the park include the Boardwalk villas along the 25 acre Crescent Lake. These villas will put you in the middle of it all, but these do go for a price premium for this convenience.
• Villas at Wilderness Lodge are also premier Disney villas for any family.

Additional Disney area villa options are mostly situated outside the theme park with the closest rentals within 3 to 5 miles. This website typically focuses on these communities which are just outside the gates of Disney World.

Consumers will often find incomplete information for these rental options on many other websites. However, this website focuses on the entirety of the Central Florida vacation rentals market with reviews on over 80 resort communities to give you a full perspective.

Numerous choices does lead to some confusion. Travellers are sometimes overwhelmed by the sheer number of individual rental home listings and the vast array of resort communities in Orlando, Kissimmee and Davenport, Florida market. Moreover, we hope that the reviews and profiles section of our website helps provide you some insight on location, opinions and details on each resort villa community.

The vast number of villa options do make the local market unique, and do provide a great opportunity to find some wonderful vacation deals inside and outside the gates of Walt Disney World®.

How Clean is your Vacation Home

A quality program for housekeeping may include training methods, graded inspections and employee recognition to deliver a home that is clean and well maintained for each inbound guest. All three elements and others are part of an overall strategy to compete with the cleanest hotels, and to deliver a pleasurable experience.

From a maintenance perspective, regular and thorough inspections of the entire home are an important part of the process. Too many companies use the guests as their de facto QA team, which should not be the case, and is

certainly not what you paid for. Performing needed maintenance and preventive maintenance at appropriate intervals before the guest arrives keep the home and its collective infrastructure operating effectively to the benefit of the occupants.

Before you book your vacation home, make sure the management company has a quality program in place as evidenced by testimonials, referrals or a program mentioned on their website. Although this might seem a given as a consumer, it is surprising to see the number of companies that don’t see the guest experience as part of their “brand”. Why? They put their time and efforts into other areas of the business or they purposely cut corners to reduce expenses. Make sure you never book with a company in the latter group.
