pool home advice and suggestions please

Being a regular visitor and frequent villa renter the only negative I can see is having to drive everywhere - which can be difficult if you want to go out in the evening for a drink.

Other than that Villas are brilliant.

I agree-glad the new Pasquales is complete and a 5 mins walk from Glenbrook.Also a Wendys next door and oh so many deliveries-the pizza is gorgeous in US -never eat the stuff here...weird!

Have a great holiday,
Lynn

like you we are hoping to rent a villa for our holiday. it will be for 3 weeks and i followed the advice of some of the replies on this thread and posted a general enquiry to some owner rental websites ,advising of my budget and a lot of owners responded. i'm not sure about area's though. what's recommended , what's not. this is our first visit to florida, even the U.S so i'm hoping for a bit of advice. what's orange tree community like?what about the golf course communities...we're not golfers should we stay away?? any help would be gratefully appreciated....the advice posted so far has worked anyway so thank you!

We stayed in Orange Tree. It was a nice little neighborhood. It is not gated, but it was quite safe when we were there a few years ago. It is a fairly new subdivision - homes seem to be well maintained.

It is an easy drive between there and Walt Disney World. Universal and Sea World would be a further drive, but not bad at all.

This trip we are staying in Emerald Island. It is much closer to WDW. But it tends to run higher. Since you are staying for 3 weeks, I am assuming cost is of concern. Unless it has changed since we were there last, Orange Tree would be a nice choice.
