5 Things To Check Before Booking A Villa In Florida Orlando!

1 - Location. The Florida building boom of the nineties led to a lot of property being built in the greater Orlando area. As the boom developed the sub-divisions crept further and further way from Disney. You may not mind long car journeys to and from the amusement parks, but a good idea is to ask the owner of the villa for its zip code and type it into Google Maps to do a route plan to Disney. (Our villa’s zip code for http://www.villasfloridavillas.com is FL 34746).

2 – The Pool. You will be amazed just how much time you will spend in and around the pool on a villa holiday. In fact, getting the kids to leave it will require all your negotiation skills! It is therefore the single most important facility of the villa, and you should only consider villas that have really top notch pools. At the height of the building boom villas were routinely built side by side and back to back in Florida, so if privacy in the pool is important to you then you need to be careful. (Our villa has fantastic lake views). Photos like the one below should ring alarm bells!

3 – A jacuzzi. It’s not something a lot of us have at home, but relaxing in the Jacuzzi/Spa after a long day at the parks is a wonderful way to wind down. (If there are great views like at that’s even better).

4 – How much sun the pool area gets. If you like to sunbathe make sure you ask when the sun will be on the pool/sun deck. Obviously whichever way the house faces you will not be able to get sun interrupted all day, but a two floored north facing house will receive considerably less sun than a single floored east facing house.

5 – Security. As with everywhere, there is crime in Florida, and you really don’t need the hassle of having to deal with a villa break-in during your stay. Choose a villa that is in a gated community so a PIN code is needed at the gate to even get access to the houses in the subdivision. (Our villa is in the safe gated community of Cumbrian Lakes).
