Vacation rentals are not just for "do-it-yourself" families, they are a great affordable option travelers everywhere. 

A few years back the idea of renting a vacation home was unheard of, most travelers would scout hotels in the area to find the most affordable when planning their vacations to Orlando.  Just the thought of having to split in between several rooms, possibly having to place young children in rooms by themselves would make families think twice.  well not anymore! vacation rentals are a fantastic option, becoming more and more popular everyday. 

Vacation rentals will range from condos and townhomes to full size single-family homes, some even with their own private pools.  A hotel room simply cannot compete with the comfort of having a full size kitchen, private pool and living areas that everyone can enjoy!  You can accommodate a small group or family of four in a two bedroom condo from $69.00 per night, to a large group of up to fourteen guests in a six bedroom home with a private pool.
