Frequently asked questions
Q.Why should I choose a Luxury Villa over a hotel?
A.Florida Hotels can be very expensive. Most hotel rooms accommodate a range from 2-4 (2 adults and 2 children) which will be very cramped for your vacation. For the price of a medium room you can rent a luxury villa with your own private pool and all the space you will need. Don't forget we have villas that can sleep upto 6, 8, 10, 12 or 14 guests. Imagine the cost of several hotel rooms per night compared to the cost of the villa. Most resort communities also have the facilities of a top class hotel as well. And of course at the villa you will have your very own private pool.
Your villa villa will have full kitchen facilities, including fridge/freezer, where you can store food/drinks/snacks. You then have a choice of cooking your own food or dining out. And think about how much money you save by not having to buy expensive drinks/snacks at hotel pool bars.
Bottom line is that a villa works out far cheaper than a hotel and far more enjoyable.
