I know windsorhillsrent.com has a way to contact all owners with dates, do any of the other close-to-Disney, nicer communities have the same? Hoping for a bargain. Would love a private hot tub, king bed, and washer dryer.

Thanks,

If you check vrbo.com and homeaway.com, the owners often list last minute specials.

The other communities near Disney and Windsor Hills that I would suggest are Sunset Lakes, Indian Creek, and Emerald Island. The prices tend to be much cheaper than Windsor Hills.

You would have to rent a 4 bedroom home or larger to get a private hot tub.
 
Is Windsor Hills a lot nicer than the others (Indian Creek, Emerals Island, Sunset Lakes)? It seems a lot more popular on this board.

Thought maybe this time we'd try WH, and the next trip one of the other (where we could drive and bring our dog). Kids are very upset to leave the dog (so upset they'd rather not go to Disney, but the airline tickets have been purchased).

Windsor Hills is newer and has more amenities than the other rental home areas. The newer homes in the Reserve area tend to have granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and more upscale furnishings which are not found in most homes in the older communities. Also, the community pool area in Windsor Hills has a toddler/splash area in addition to a nice size waterslide for the older kids. None of the other community pools has a waterslide.

However, for many people, the extra amenties do not justify the higher prices.

We personally love Windsor Hills and are returning in March for our 3rd stay. However, I would easily consider Sunset Lakes (the views look beautiful and peaceful) or any of the other communities if I was on a tight budget.

Here is a link to a past thread that has a lot of detailed information about rental communities near Disney:

EDITED to add: Windsor Hills also has a manned security gate. Emerald Island is the only other community that also has a manned gate.
