If you are planning to go to Florida for your holiday this year a villa is a great option rather than a traditional hotel or motel. In a villa you can have space luxury and privacy at a surprisingly affordable price, so this type of holiday option is becoming increasingly popular with us Brits.

Florida Villa Holidays are easy to arrange with a number of options of how you book, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Book via your tour operator

This is a quick and easy method of booking your villa from a recognised tour operator, but unfortunately the reality is you don’t really know what you have booked!  Often you have a long wait at the airport to establish your exact villa address etc. You usually do not have the chance to choose the exact facilities or location either. Frequently you are paying a Premium to the tour operator who often charges under occupancy rates, so this can work out as relatively expensive option with the tour operator gaining and not the villa owner.

Book with a Management Company Directly

 99% of Florida Villa Owners employ a Management Company to look after their villa. The Management companies promote these villas by websites and other forms of advertising.  Again a Management Company takes their cut of the rental fees you pay so you usually end up paying some sort of premium.  You do however get, local knowledge, the choice of home, location and you should know the facilities prior to arrival.

3. Book Direct with the Florida Villa Owner

 There are many websites and magazines available which list properties available for your Florida Villa Holidays. On many rental websites such as Wannavilla you can search for availability, location, bedrooms required, to more specific requirements such as do you want a games room, a cot, an internet connection, a spa, a golf course etc.

By booking directly with the owner, there are often some fabulous deals to benefit from, as the owner is more able to negotiate on price as they are directly incentivised to rent their villa having mortgage and utility bills to pay.

Start the search process by sending some enquiries from websites to owners for a free no obligation quote. It may also assist to phone the owner directly and discuss their home for a truly personal insight into the accommodation you want to book. Remember there are few things a Florida Villa Holiday home owner likes better then to talk about their home and Florida!

May all your Florida Villa Holidays be happy days!
