Accommodations - Why consider a private home rental
Savvy travelers are discovering the many benefits of private home rentals over resort or hotel rooms. There are many benefits. Our favorites are luxury villas located within luxury vacation rental communities. And the good news is they are conveniently located near Disney World, Universal Studios, and other major theme parks. Here's the scoop you'll need to know about this surprisingly affordable option. Some of the top rental communities are Solterra Resort, Windsor Hills Resort, Reunion Resort, and Solara Resort. Each is a gated resort community and offers a fabulous selection of vacation homes. They offer water parks, a private pool, a patio, and much more.
- Amenities
What can you expect in a luxury vacation rental by owner located in a luxury rental community like Solterra? Each home is different, but you can expect a spacious and beautifully appointed modern villa or mansion with the best of the best. The fully equipped kitchen has sleek stainless appliances and plenty of room to move. A full dining area will seat the entire crowd. Choose up to 10 bedrooms for your gang, and they'll be sure to thank you for their private bath and closet space. The little ones will love the themed bedrooms, replete with superheroes and princesses. That makes bedtime a snap. When it's time to relax, head out to the patio, seating by your private pool, or catch a movie in your home theatre with reclining leather seating for 10. Stop by the arcade for a family challenge or have a cocktail at the bar.
Step outside for another level of amenities - these communities have all of the amenities you would expect from a 5-star resort. The executive clubhouse is open to you, and you'll want to check out the resort size pool with a water slide and a lazy river. No lines here! Sit back by the pool for a cocktail or join in some tennis, volleyball, or a nice hike around the perfectly groomed property. You will not be disappointed
- Space
A typical hotel stay has 4 or 5 people sharing 300 square feet of space, one bathroom, and allows for very little privacy. Larger parties often book multiple rooms, often not even on the same floor, making for a fractured and inconvenient experience. Compare that with a large villa with 6 to 10 bedrooms with lots of private baths, plenty of space to relax and have personal time, and a private pool area just outside the door. Imagine having over 5500 square feet of space and having the entire group under one roof.
- Privacy
Everyone loves privacy, and there is not much to be had in a 300 square foot hotel room with one bath. Luxury home rentals provide the space for private bedrooms (and closets) and baths, several living spaces for relaxation, activity rooms, an outdoor patio, pool space, and plenty of room to room the community paths and recreational areas.
- Convenience
Nothing beats brewing up your first-morning coffee and enjoying it out on the private patio. Whip up a quick snack in the fully equipped modern kitchen, make lunch for the day, or pull together a "big chill" style dinner and drinks. There are no valet lines when you park at your own home, and how about happy hour at your own pool? Need to do a quick load of laundry? No problem with your on-site washer and dryer. Tired of the crowds at the parks? Take a day in your community enjoying the water slide, lazy river, and lunch at the community pool
- Cost
These luxury rental homes are amazingly affordable. They start at $375 per night. Imagine sharing that with another family. You'll pay less than a standard hotel or resort on a nightly basis. Add in the savings for valet, meals, coffee, cocktails at home, entertainment - and the savings add up quickly. You can check actual rates and availability with Villatel here.
