Orlando Vacation Rental
What is an Orlando vacation rental?
A vacation rental is a home. It can be a condo or townhouse in a multi unit building. It could also be a stand alone, detached or semi-detached house or villa in a residential area. But it is a home, the entire home.
Typically the vacation rental home is owned by an individual though sometimes they are also owned by companies. A property owner has a contract with a property management company that specializes in managing vacation rental properties. It is usually the company that takes care of the place including the upkeep and rental bookings. As the guest, you deal with the company.
Size & Space
Orlando vacation rental homes range in size from a small two bedroom condo to mansions with nine bedrooms and more. They also typically have multiple bathrooms. It is not too unusual to find a home with as many bathrooms as bedrooms such as a six bed / six bath. The size of the many properties range in living space from 1000 to nearly 4000 square feet. There is a lot of room in them and a lot of places to put people from a two bedroom / two bath that sleeps six to a nine bedroom / five bath that sleeps thirty people.
In homes of these sizes your friends could join you on your trip. You can be together, but separate, each with your own bedroom. Many of the larger homes even have more than one master suite.
You don’t rent a couch to sleep on or a bedroom, you get the entire property or unit.
Amenities
The homes are fully furnished and equipped. They come stocked with all the basic necessities like cooking equipment in the kitchen, sheets and blankets on the beds, bathroom items, etc. They have games rooms with various table top games like air hockey, foosball, pool / billiards, pinball machines, and others. Lounge chairs are provided for the private pool and / or spa area of the home. Here’s a fairly comprehensive list:
