Top 10 Reasons to Stay in a Vacation Home in Orlando
- Location, location, location—There are approximately 20,000 to 25,000 Orlando vacation homes. Most of them are located minutes away from the attractions—such as Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld—as well as the I-4 corridor, which can get you from the Orlando area to Tampa and the rest of the Gulf Coast in less than two hours.
- Quality design and construction—This is not your grandfather’s summer cottage. Many of the vacation properties available in the Orlando area were built in the last 5 – 10 years, with durable construction that exceeds most building codes.
-
A
guaranteed parking space—No more parking fees, tips for the valet,
or remembering where you parked your car! Park in your own driveway
instead of hiking across a crowded parking lot that’s half the
length of a football field. - Room to move—Did you ever try to hold a family reunion in a hotel room? Most vacation home resorts offer properties with three and four bedrooms, and enough bathrooms so that everyone doesn’t have to wait their turn to take a shower.
- Less expensive than you think—If you are renting a vacation home, the cost of your stay (especially if you are splitting the cost with friends and family) can be less than a week’s stay in an upscale hotel. If you are a vacation property owner, renters can provide supplemental income when you are not using your second home.
- All the benefits of a hotel—Many resorts with vacation properties offer recreational activities, party rooms, and swimming pools for their guests, and their onsite staff takes care of all the maintenance.
- All the comforts of home—No need to leave that “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door before you go to bed at night. Sleep in late in the privacy of your own home.
- Save on restaurant costs—Eating out for breakfast, lunch and dinner will slim down your wallet while expanding your waistline. Shop at the nearby supermarket to get the groceries you need, and utilize your full size kitchen to make the meals you want.
- Enjoy the Great Outdoors—Trade in that postage stamp-sized hotel balcony for a real backyard. Some properties even have a backyard pool. Either way, you will have a lot more space and privacy lounging on the lawn of a vacation home.
- Get away from the crowds— You didn’t come to Orlando just to spend all of your time waiting in line. After a day at the theme parks, avoid the jam-packed hotel lobbies, chain restaurants, and other tourist traps. Park your car in the driveway, turn the key, open the door and relax. You’re already home.
