Phil Howard has been renting his beautiful holiday villa in Florida for over 13 years and he wants you to have the holiday of a lifetime. See why his florida holiday villa is occupied for over 40 weeks every year
There are so many advantages by booking "Your own holiday home" as opposed to staying in a cramped hotel room for 2 weeks even though you "only require somewhere to sleep".
In this module I would like to highlight the pros and cons of both and let you decide which you would rather prefer, so let us begin.
First and foremost there are so many holiday villas in Florida now that are available for rent you will always find one to suit you even if you left it as close as two weeks before you travel, and at a discounted rate. So availability will never be an issue.
After a long day, and believe me the days are long and action packed, would you prefer to go back to a hotel room and share 1 room, 2 chairs, 2 beds and 1 television between the family, as most top hotels offer, or have 6..8 rooms, 4..5 televisions, videos and DVD players and a pool deck to choose from?
You will probably not visit a theme park every day of your holiday as it is too exhausting. So would you like to share a slightly heated swimming pool with other holiday makers and there kids or relax with a beer, a BBQ and your choice of music in your own 30 foot heated pool, 6 feet from your 'Own home'?
In the evening would you like to go to a restaurant every single night and have to pay 15-20% service charge on top of your food bill, which is standard tipping in Florida. Or would you like to sit in your 'Own home' enjoying a good home cooked meal with a bottle of wine whilst the kids are enjoying their own space, somewhere in 'Your own home'?
How do you feel about having to get up every morning in time for breakfast because if you have a lie in you will miss it? Wouldn't it be nice to get out of bed when you feel like, when all said and done you are on holiday? Stroll into the kitchen pour a glass of your favourite chilled juice, grab a bite to eat, open the patio doors and sit by 'Your pool' and enjoy the morning tranquility?
And finally I compare sleeping arrangements. In most hotels, including top ones, there are 2 queen sized beds in each room that sleeps 4 people, Mum and Dad, and 2 kids mainly. Do you have that at home? I suggest not. Is it an ideal way to relax at night with the kids in the same room for you or them? I suggest not. A bedroom each in 'Your own home'? After all you are on holiday, I rest my case.
