Are you planning to take your family to Orlando to visit Disney World, Universal Studios and the other theme parks and attractions? If so then you need to find the  accommodations that will enable you to enjoy your Orlando vacation in comfort. Before you go to your computer and start looking for “hotels in Orlando,” you should consider another option: renting a condo, home or villa for the duration of your stay in Orlando. That’s right, you should rent a home and not a hotel room or hotel rooms. Many comfort conscious and even cost conscious visitors to Orlando find that a rental home or villa provides the best value for their money.  Here are some of the reasons why they are making this choice:

Cost: If you are visiting Orlando with your whole family the cost of renting hotel rooms can really add up. Compare the price of several hotel rooms with a home or condo rental and you will see that it makes more sense to choose the home or condo rental.

Comfort: You don’t live your normal life in one room, so why do it on your vacation when you are trying to chill out and rid yourself of the stress that builds up during the year? In Orlando you can rent homes with three to seven bedrooms.  In addition, these homes are fully equipped with heating/air conditioning, screened swimming pools, cable TV and music systems too. These vacation homes are truly homes-away-from-home.

Flexibility: When you are in hotel you have to heed the meal times or you might just miss your breakfast. You don’t have to worry about when you go to sleep or when you wake up when you have your own rental home, condo or villa. These homes have fully equipped kitchens and you can make your breakfast or snacks whenever you like.

Location:  If you are visiting Orlando and are concentrating on some key attractions, such as Disney World, then you will want to be located as close as possible to your favorite spot. You can get rental homes that are well placed, near theme parks, restaurants and shopping areas, and this will save you time and allow you to get the most out of your vacation.

Service:  The vacation rental industry in Orlando is sophisticated and provides great service. The homes are professionally cleaned before you enter and they are cleaned after you leave. You don’t have to worry about major housekeeping chores. On top of this some of the rental agencies will provide you with discount tickets to the theme parks of your choice. These tickets, which will allow you to skip the long lines for popular rides, can go a long way to making your vacation in Orlando truly enjoyable.

So, plan your Orlando vacation carefully, and when it comes to accommodations, opt for a rental condo, rental home or rental villa.
