Deciding where to search for an Orlando vacation home is without a doubt a difficult task. Almost everyone travelled to Disney World at some point in time and is likely to offer their personal advice. The internet is also scattered with articles similar to these aimed at helping travelers find the best deals. However, this post is intended to put a slightly different spin on these run of the mill advice columns and provide you with some two items many people overlook when selecting an Orlando vacation home to stay when visiting.
Cleanliness is one of the most important factors to consider when picking a home. While many people might disagree with this at first, have faith that this is valuable advice. I’ve heard horror stories of individuals that rented a home all set and ready to enjoy their stays in Orlando only to walk into a nightmare. Upon entering the vacation home they find it completely trashed and never cleaned from the last guests that stayed there. This is often more commonplace with individuals who rent vacation homes on their own without the help of a booking agency. Therefore, one of the first questions I would ask or find out the answer to before booking a stay is, “How often is the home cleaned?” If the response is delayed, involves stuttering or is answered with “on a need be basis” then watch out! There are plenty of fun activities in Orlando. Do not let a dirty vacation home destroy that. Ensure there is a regular cleaning schedule so that you are able to enjoy your trip.
The other consideration to keep in mind is proximity to the theme parks. Many people assume that a home is near the major theme parks simply because it is in Orlando Florida. However, Orlando is a large place and only a few of the savvier travelers know that Disney World is actually in Kissimmee Fl. Take the time to take a look at the map and find out how close the vacation home actually is to the major theme parks. Do not end up surprised by not doing a little research in advance!
