Have you ever considered renting an Orlando Villa instead of a hotel room? There are so many advantages to doing so. Many years ago it was probably different but now vacation villas, condos and townhouses offer so much more than many hotels and at a cheaper price. It is not uncommon to be able to rent a property on a resort that has a communal pool, clubhouse with bars and restaurants, fitness centers , fishing lakes and much more. With such enchanting names such as Watersong, Emerald Island and Thousand Oaks they all live up to it with beautifully landscaped gardens and conservation.

Most villas have private pools that can be heated on request again some of them overlook breath taking views of lakes or conservation giving you the opportunity to see some Florida wildlife close up. Increasingly, there are now many homes that offer high speed internet access, free long distance and international phone calls, large screen tv’s, DVD players, spa’s/hot tubs and everything you need to make the villa your home from home, including, all linen, cooking equipment, towels etc. All included in the price. If you want mid stay cleans these can always be arranged.

If you consider the cost of say a group of 6 travelling to Orlando, work out the cost to stay in hotel rooms, then compare the cost of a vacation home. I am sure you will be surprised. Plus you have all that privacy, independence and freedom. If you want to cook in the villa then there are all the modern appliances at your disposal. If you need to do any washing, no need to drag all your washing to whichever floor the washing machines are located in a hotel, you have your own washer and dryer.

Mrs McCullum and her husband, Ian from Edinburgh, Scotland had long dreamed of taking their family to Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida. She states that “Having 3 children, I had always thought that it would be too expensive” Then she started looking into doing the trip in an independent way instead of using a package holiday. “ I started searching for flights and found that they were much more expensive during the kids school holidays, so we managed to work it so that they would only miss one week of school, the prices were much better" By this time Ian’s Mother and Father had also indicated that they would love to go along too.

So the next step was to find somewhere to stay when she was getting prices for hotel rooms the cost started to get quite high. To be comfortable she didn’t want to cram her and her husband and 3 kids into a hotel room. “The youngest Chloe was 5, Joe was 12 and Janine was 14, so it would have been a bit cramped. This meant looking at 2 rooms for us and one for my in-laws. It was then that my mother-in-law suggested that we rent a villa. I did a search on Google and found Orlando Villas from Perfect Florida Villas. I am so glad that I did, I was able to browse through the large selection homes on offer, able to choose the location and amenities etc. We narrowed it down to a short list and ended up choosing a gorgeous villa on Calabay Parc. We had some great chats with the owner and she gave us tons of advice that proved very useful. It had a games room, PC and free international phone calls. The pool was marvellous and we had the sun most of the day. The kids loved it. The cost of the villa for the 2 weeks was much less than the hotels we were looking at working out to £900 for all 7 of us and we loved the comfort and freedom.

It was a great holiday and we hope to repeat it again next year and would not consider staying in a hotel room. Thank you Perfect Florida Villas!”

The famed artist Thomas Kinkade now offers “Pinocchio Wishes Upon A Star” which will coincide with the 70th anniversary of the film. "It is one of my most meticulously detailed and time-consuming works, but it was a labor of love," Kinkade said in a news release. "Finding all the hidden elements is my challenge to collectors."

Some of the things to look for are a very small but full portrait of Walt Disney, a rooster, a Mickey Mouse balloon, 5 hearts and several hidden Mickeys. Probably the most difficult thing of all to find is a portrait of Kinkade himself.

Calabay Parc is a superb community situated on hwy 27 in Davenport and is close to all the attractions, shops and restaurants. Highway 27 is growing fast with new shopping centers and malls being added to this popular stretch of road.

Calabay Parc has wonderful tree lined roads and beautifully kept lawns and shrubs. There are only just over 300 vacation homes on this community so it is not a huge estate. It is also close to the Interstate 4 and hwy 192. Just up the road is Highlands Reserve Golf Course and in the other direction is the famous Champions Gate with it’s 2 premier golf courses and golf academy.
