Planning your trip to Orlando can be confusing if you have never been to this city before.
Most travel web sites do not give you specific details regarding the city when you place your vacation rental reservation.
In this article, I will give you two top secrets regarding vacation house rentals and how they may affect your upcoming trip.
Secret One: Most vacation rental homes are not located in Orlando! Most of the vacation rental homes are located outside of the city of Orlando.
Since the theme parks and attractions are located on near the outskirts of the city's border, most of the rental homes are located in Kissimmee, Davenport, Clermont, Ocoee, or Apopka.
This may affect your trip because of the travel distance to the theme parks, attractions, and airport.
It is imperative that you get the exact address and map out your travel prior to your arrival.
Secret Two: Check the fine print for fees prior to signing the contract! Your rental house may give you a fantastic rate regarding your upcoming stay.
Always check the fine print for fees that may come after your stay.
Many homes charge a fee per night for using the heated pool during the winter months.
Other areas where fees may be charged: cleaning, hot tub usage, credit card processing, cancellation, barbecue grill usage, etc.
Verify the amenities you will use and calculate accordingly.
A better option is to select a rental that includes the usage of these items in their advertised rate so there are no surprises!
