Top 10 Reasons For A Villa In Florida
I have been to Florida 4 times and am the advocate for Florida Villa Holidays and I find it hard to find a reason why anyone would want to stay in a hotel. I therefore thought it would be good to come up with the only a Top 10 Reasons For A Florida Villa rather then a hotel. There is the obvious response that it is because I run a website whos purpose is to help hire out villas, BUT, I say to you, why do you think I set up this site in the first place !!! I truly believe a villa holiday is much better then a hotel holiday. I appreciate that for many a Florida Vacation holiday is a once in a lifetime expensive holiday and I want to help these people make the most of their trip!!
- Florida Vacation Rental Villas offer you the opportunity to continue to have a similarly structured day as at home. This is nice for a number of reasons but especially for those with children you can keep bedtime routines and part sof the day that are really important especially when you ave exhausted people at the end of a day in parks. The PRICE of a rental villa is often the same if not cheaper then a hotel.
- Swimming Pools – A big one for me is having a private pool. I would estimate that 90% of florida vacation villas have a private swimming pool. The first time I went to Florida (with my parents and siblings totalling 7) it was amazing to have a private pool. At the end of a busy day where there is a lot of walking it was great to get home and jump in th pool for 20 minutes. This is one that for me is almost a justification by itself!!
- Space – I will say it although it should be obvious, would you rather 1 room to share with your children OR at least a 3 bedroom vacation rental villa that also has a private pool, lounge area, Kitchen, dining room and increasingly a games room with a pool table in it?? Another no brainer for me.
- BBQ – I doubt this is just me BUT, I am a VERY keen BBQ man and I love to have a BBQ. The problem of course in the UK is the weather, but in Florida even if it rains it is warm and you will find me out there an umbrella. For me the picture of standing next to the pool, with a beer, the BBQ and cooking for my family IS FLORIDA. That is what I work for and dream about, it is the ultimate family situation for me.
- Dealing with the Owner – This is a big one for many people that I talk with and it flows into point 6 very easily as well. When you hire a villa direct from the owner then you get to know the owner and not a company. Therefore you can get a feeling as to how you think the villa will be, also they are offering you THEIR HOME to hire and so they want it to look good and be just what you want as well
- Know what you are getting – Often what people have said to me is that by booking Direct With The Owner you know THE VILLA that you will be staying in. You are not booking a standard villa with pool or something similar you are booking a particular rental villa, you know what there is in the vacation villa, you have spoken with the owner of the villa and asked all the questions you need to know, you even have driving instructions from the airport to your rental home.
- Noise Levels - This is one that many do not think about however in a villa you are in a house, there will always be some elemnt of noise BUT you are more than likly going to be able to open a window or be by the pool sunbathing without hearing a group of roudy people nearby. Also you wil not keep hearing people walking (or kids running) past your bedroom door, there is also never a worry about when the room cleaning is due!!
- Casual Holiday Living – What do I mean by this?? I mean waking up as a typical englishmen and waling in my PJ’s to the kitchen for a brew and maybe even a piece of toast without having to dress and probably take one of our children with me! This level of ability to just walk about as if at home is part of a relaxing holiday
- Car Parking – In a villa you park you car in the driveway, in a hotel you park it in a large car park a long way from your room
- Location, Location, Location – This is a big one for many people, a real plus of booking your villa direct is you know Exactly where it is, you know roughly how long it will take you to get to major attractions and how, once you land, to get to your villa. Many people worry about the initial drive especially after a LONG 12 hour flight from the UK and knowing how to get where you are going is a definate plus
I hope that people read this and see the benefits. I am not saying hotel stays are not correct for some people but I am DEFINATELY not one of those people
