Orlando Villas (aka Vacation Home Rentals)
___
I am not sure why, but in Orlando it’s common to call vacation rental homes ‘villas’. To me, a villa is in Tuscany or someplace similar. I guess I’m not quite as sophisticated as some.
However, this doesn’t change the fact that villas in Orlando are extremely popular, mainly because of the economics of a visit to DisneyWorld (or disney orlando walt world if you like a little backward sequence word play) or the other theme parks, and the economics are this:
… most people do not visit Orlando alone.
Think about it. Manhattan? Maybe your spouse, or maybe alone. Las Vegas? Maybe your spouse, but even more likely alone, given that What Happens in Vegas… theme.
Orlando? Family, kids, grandparents, a companion-family even. This is why it makes sense to rent a house instead of staying in a hotel. Per person it’s cheaper, and you almost certainly get your own pool, plus you definitely get your own bedroom, kitchen, etc.
And in case you didn’t know, your theme park ticket is good for the whole day(s) it’s issued for, so you can come and go as often as you please. Go home for lunch, or to take a nap (or to avoid paying 3 bucks for a Coke). Then go back again. It’s your choice.
Anyway, the point of this post is to tell you that I have been thinking about villas, and I think there’s an opportunity to perform a public service here, letting people provide reviews of the houses they rented and if they would recommend them to others. Who knows, according to the search engine data this is a busy field with almost zero chance of getting noticed, but I might try anyway.
