Florida Vacation Rentals

How do you find the perfect Orlando holiday home rental? There are many homes out there and you may already be overwhelmed by the choices that you have to make. There are many advantages of an Orlando home rental for your next Florida holiday. Why stay in an hotel room when you could have your own private swimming pool and jacuzzi just like this one at my Windsor Palms home?

So what are the secrets to finding the perfect Orlando holiday home for your family?

1. Before you even start looking on the internet work out what you want from an Orlando holiday home and write down a ‘wish list’. How many bedrooms and bathrooms? That is usually the easy question! How important is location to you? Many homes are close to Disney World like mine on Windsor Palms and Solana resorts. What extra features would you like? Most Orlando homes have a private swimming pool, but do you want a jacuzzi spa as well? A one storey or a two storey home?

2. Once you have your holiday home wish list then start looking on the internet. Don’t spread your search too wide at this point as you will get very very confused. I talk to guests every day who tell me how much time they have spent looking for a rental home - it gets confusing and just like any search on the internet it can be overwhelming. So if you are sending out enquiries to Orlando home owners just send out a maximum of 2 or 3 at first. You can always send more later on if those rental homes don’t work out for you.

3. Once you have some Orlando rental homes on your short list then look at the websites carefully. Do they have good pictures on the site? Ask the home owner when the pictures were taken - they may be years out of date. Has care been taken over the photos? If an owner takes care of their website this could be a good sign that they take good care of their home too!

4. If you find a home that you are thinking of booking then talk to the owner as much as you need to either by phone or email - whichever you think is best. You need to be comfortable with booking a home with that person. There are a great many honest helfpul owners, but some are more helpful than others! It can be a great advantage to be in contact with an owner who knows the Disney World area and is willing to help you in planning your holiday - particularly if this is your first trip to Orlando.

With a little time and careful research you will find your perfect Orolando
