If you're bringing along the kids, the grandparents and maybe even the cousins, it only makes sense to take advantage of the many Orlando vacation rentals available. You won't pay extra for additional rooms, won't have to request adjoining rooms and can even make your own breakfast and dinner to save a few dollars.

ORLANDO

In Orlando, there are literally thousands of vacation rentals to choose from. You might rent a villa, condo, apartment or pool house. These Orlando vacation rentals are equipped with more than a regular hotel room (some including plasma TVs and hot tubs) but might cost the same or even less than an Orlando-area hotel room.

Once you find your Orlando villa rental and settle in for your vacation, it's time to explore this exciting and activity-filled city.

Since Disney is the destination of the majority of Orlando visitors, you'll likely start there. You could spend days exploring the wonder of the Magic kingdom and Epcot alone. But don't forget to take time to visit Disney's two water parks - Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

After you're done with Disney, take a day off to enjoy the pool or hot tub at your Orlando-area villa rental or spend a day shopping at Downtown Disney, which is full of upscale, family, and unique shops and fun restaurants. Or head for Orlando's Old Town, an outdoor shopping area full of restaurants, amusement park rides and more than 75 specialty shops.

Once you're relaxed and ready to resume activities, consider Universal Studios or head for the Kennedy Space Center, located just about 45 minutes away from Orlando. There, you might meet an astronaut, train in a spaceflight simulator, or visit the Astronaut Hall of Fame. If you're lucky, you might see a space shuttle lifting off.

When you're ready for something a little different, take a drive from your Orlando villa rental one day to the Holy Land Experience. Dubbed a "living, biblical museum that takes you 6,000 miles away and 2,000 years back in time to the land of the bible," it's sure to be an outing to write home about.

For another fun outing sure to challenge the mind, explore Wonderworks, a museum/interactive facility which is called "an amusement park for the mind".

Although Orlando is home to many high-energy activities, there are many relaxing options available as well. Of course, you can always relax at your Orlando vacation rental, but you might want to head out to one of the more than 100 golf courses in the area or go shopping at the upscale Mall of Millennia. Check out Bill's Airboat Adventures, where you can take a guided airboat tour of the marshlands and backwaters of the St. Johns River.

No matter what you choose to do in Orlando - and there are many options - you'll surely enjoy retreating each night to the comfort and homey feeling of your Orlando-area vacation rental.

Orlando Villa Rentals - Enjoy a First Class Florida Vacation at an Affordable Price

If you are planning to spend a vacation or holiday in Orlando or at Disney World, then one of the first things you need to do is to figure out what kind of accommodations are best for you. Are you coming with your whole family or coming with a few friends? If so, then one of the best things you can do is to get an Orlando villa rental rather than reserving rooms in a hotel.

Renting a villa or vacation home has become a preference for savvy vacationers in Orlando due to several factors including convenience, luxury, location and above all economy.

ORLANDO

The convenience factor is due to the fact that many of the villa rentals are located within minutes of Disney World. You will not have to spend much time in your car going to and from Disney World or other attractions. In fact, if you chose a villa in a resort community like Windsor Hills, you won't have to drive at all.

Windsor Hills is a gated community located 1.5 from the gates of Disney World. The resort offers a shuttle bus service to Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios. But that is not all you get in this community.

Each home and villa at Windsor Hills features a master suite with king or queen size bed, TV and a master bathroom with a garden tub and separate shower. All vacation homes and rental villas have a private screened swimming pool with spa and all townhomes have a small pool. Each has a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast area and formal dining area, TV, VCR or DVD player and a washer and dryer. Homes are available with game rooms that include billiards, table tennis and air hockey along with play stations for kids.

That is not all you get when you rent a villa in a community like Windsor Hills. The community also offers a variety of recreation and activities for all ages including a children's playground, state-of-the-art fitness center, sand volleyball, basketball and tennis courts, 40-seat movie theatre, video arcade and billiards.

While you get all these community services similar to what you would get in a hotel, you also have the privacy of your own home or villa. You can have a barbeque outside your private pool at night. Put your kids to sleep in their own rooms and enjoy the comfort of a spacious villa.

It sounds ideal, and it is ideal especially when you consider the price. A four bedroom home or villa at Windsor Hills starts at 0 per night. Can you get four bedrooms, a private pool and all the amenities I have listed above for 0 per night in any hotel in Orlando? The answer is no, and that is why thousands of visitors have chosen to stay in Orlando villa rentals rather than hotels.

Take a look at the villas that are on offer on this website and make your reservation now. The best villas are usually rented months in advance and if you wait to the last moment you will miss out on great opportunities.

Orlando Vacation Condos and Townhomes - Affordable Orlando Short Term Rentals

Whether for Orlando vacation accommodation or the short term business trip, Orlando vacation condos and townhomes offer an excellent solution to your affordable Orlando short-term rental requirement.

The city of Orlando is a very popular part of Florida, largely because of Disney World. Through coincidence or design, it is a strange fact that Disney World is sited in Orange County Florida while Disneyland is sited in Orange County California. Perhaps Walt Disney liked oranges - who knows? Irrespective of this coincidence, partially because of Disney and partially due to the climate and for other reasons, vacation accommodation and its business counterparts are in great demand in Orlando.

ORLANDO

Both businessmen and those seeking vacation rentals in Orlando tend to look first to hotels. Although hotels in Orlando are of the highest quality, they can be expensive both for short-term business needs and for those of large families or groups of people going on holiday together. In such cases, inexpensive accommodation would be desirable - for the businessman to keep his expenses to a minimum, and for families and groups for obvious reasons, particularly in this current financial situation.

In Orlando, short-term Orlando vacation rentals in the form of condos and townhomes offer extremely attractive alternatives to hotel accommodation. Not only for price (more on that later) but also for the relative standards of accommodation and facilities provided. Let's have a look at these in more detail.

No hotel can offer you the personal cooking facilities or the level of entertainment available in short-term Orlando vacation rental accommodation. Don't let the term vacation confuse you, because such accommodation is also available to business people. It is very convenient to be able to return to your room in the evening and rustle up a sandwich, heat up a pizza in the microwave or even grill a burger and have it with a beer for which you did not have to pay cocktail bar prices.

Town houses can also offer you your personal pool which hotels cannot, and many condos are situated within resorts, with all the facilities that such complexes have to offer. Facilities such as fitness centers and restaurants are generally cheaper than those in hotels.

There are three bedroom condos available in Windsor Palms Resort that is only 10 minutes from Disney World. Such three bedroom Orlando vacation condos that not only offer four flat-screen TVs and DVD and VHS equipment, but also sleep eight people comfortably, cost as little as 0 per night during the high summer season. Work it out! That equates to per person each night thing- try asking for that price at a hotel.

That is amazing value, and the rooms are of the highest quality, very well furnished with high quality entertainment systems and fully fitted kitchens complete with fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer/drier. This is just like home, and although you may not want your vacation to be just like home, such facilities as laundry are expensive in a hotel and you certainly could not have hotel home cooking facilities that you might be thankful for after a good night out.

Such short term accommodation in Orlando is not restricted only to those on vacation of course, and as already suggested above, it is also available to business people who are visiting Orlando for business reasons. Not only does such accommodation help to reduce the cost of business trips, which is of particular importance in today's economic climate, but also offers a degree of privacy not possible in the majority of Orlando hotels.

Although some of the types of short-term Orlando vacation rentals available in Orlando have been referred to above, there are others. You can, for example, rent eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom villas that sleep up to 18 people, and although such accommodation is naturally more expensive than a vacation condo or townhouse it amounts to very little more per head than the three bedroom villas and condos available for rent in Orlando. When you look at the prices for Orlando short-term rentals, you must take into consideration that these are for the entire unit per night, irrespective of how many are sharing.

So, no matter the reason for your visit to Orlando Florida, there is accommodation available to meet your needs. In addition to hotels of the highest class downwards, Orlando vacation condos and townhouses offer Orlando short-term rental options for those either unable to meet the relatively high cost of hotel rooms because of their large families, or groups of people who are visiting Orlando either on vacation or on golf trips.
