Orlando Vacation Rentals: A Great Way to Stretch Your Vacation Budget
When economic conditions get tight, it makes a lot of sense to see how you can "do more with less." When it comes to vacationing in Orlando the biggest secret to stretching your travel budget is simply to opt for a vacation rental home or apartment rather than trying to find hotel rooms for you and your family.
In case you are thinking that this is some recent development, you are wrong. For the past ten years and more, smart visitors to Orlando have been flocking to vacation homes which they rent on a daily or weekly basis, and vacation home rentals have become a big part of the accommodations in Orlando. The reason for the boom in vacation rentals can be attributed to two factors: economy and convenience.
When you travel with your family you need space. If you try to cram everyone into a small hotel room, you may save a little bit but you will lose the comfort that you need to really enjoy your vacation. Look at it this way. At home you don't all stay in one room; you like to stretch out in your home. Now, when you are going away on vacation with the purpose of getting some needed rest and relaxation does it make any sense to cram everyone into one room?
While hotel rooms can be expensive, it is not expensive to rent a condominium or even a luxury villa in the Orlando area. In case you are skeptical about this, let's take a look at some typical prices for vacation rentals in the Orlando area.
Suppose you want to begin with the most economical option, then you can start with a condominium. A two bedroom luxury condo in the Vista Cay Resort (locate ten minutes from Universal Studios) starts at $110 per night. You can accommodate 4 people in this condo and you get a queen bed, two twin beds, Internet access, free long distance, and a fully equipped kitchen.
On top of that, you have full access to the resort community's clubhouse which includes a pool, children's play area, spa, movie theatre, game room, fitness center, Internet Library, flexible meeting space. If that's not enough, you also get free use of the shuttle going to all the attractions of the area. If you have four people in the condo, that breaks down to close to $25 per person, per night. You are save money, when compared to hotel accommodations, but get lots of space and comfort.
I just started out with a low-end vacation rental. When you take a look at some of the luxury villas that are also available for rent, then the savings and the amenities become simply mind-boggling. If you are traveling with a larger group of people, the per-person price remains the same or even lower and you can get a luxurious multi-bedroom villa that will meet and exceed your wildest expectations.
Think I am kidding? Well, a 5 bedroom 5.5 bath luxury vacation home with a private pool, spa and game room starts at $235 per night. If you are traveling with two families then a luxury vacation rental like this one will end up being your most economical possibility.
So, whether you are traveling with a small family or a large group, a vacation home or condo rental in Orlando is the best way to make sure that you enjoy a comfortable vacation while saving money in the process
