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, and is becoming the option of choice by many Brits travelling to Florida.

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  the 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 using your required date range, location and bedroom to mores specific requirements such as do you want a games room, a cot, an internet connection, a spa 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 the 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!

If you are planning a Florida package holiday next year, instead of booking the full package holiday through a travel agent why not book independently, cut out the travel agent middleman and save some money, whilst having a bit of fun planning your holiday!

Ever thought of staying in a privately owned villa but been put off by the travel agent surcharges for not filling the villa? Well privately booked villas can be more affordable than you first think, make up your own package holiday.

With vacation rental sites such as Wannavilla you can find a vast array of privately owned villas to choose from, including the more modest villas to truly outstanding luxury villas with every possible extra you could think of as standard.

So why stay in a villa while you’re vacationing in Florida and not a hotel? Simply because a villa has everything you need and much more without the price tag and restrictions of hotel lifestyle. Staying in a hotel is fine, if you want to eat out every single night, share your room with all the members of your party with no thought of privacy or individual time for relaxation.

A villa is a luxury house with plenty of space and privacy for everyone, many having their own private swimming pools. What better way can their be to relax and soak up the Florida sun whilst sunbathing by your own private pool, with the kids burning off their excess energy in the pool?

Instead of a bedroom which you share in a hotel, villas afford you a more relaxed vacation, you don’t all have to go to bed or get up at the same time and why should you are on vacation! You have space to read a book, play a game, watch TV, sunbathe, play in the pool or simply relax.

These days there are many different villa styles available up to 7 bed accommodating 16 people. From the luxurious, with spas, extended decks and grand furnishings, to the simpler - two bedrooms, kitchen and bath. Whatever your preferred accommodation, a villa can accommodate! Villas with heated swimming pools, disabled access, computer, CD/DVD players, internet connections, non-smoking homes, pool/game rooms (some with game systems), baby facilities cots (cribs), highchairs, air conditioning/fans, alarms and linen/crockery/cutlery, are all available.

Whether it is just having the comforts of home on hand while you’re on vacation, or a means to have family and friends stay in the one location, a villa rental is the only way to have your cake and eat it too.
