Pool Home...Where Do I Start?

[Debonna]

I want to rent a "pool home" during the first week of June. Want 3 bedrooms, private/screened pool. Prefer close driving distance to WDW.

I don't really care about "community amenities," but gated would be nice. (We are two women and 3 young kids.)

Not sure how to begin searching...there are so many sites, possibilities, etc. Just looking for some advice on where to look...I'm a bit overwhelmed. Thanks!

I just rented us a 3 bed, 3 bath townhouse with a private pool. It's in Windsor Hills which is a gated community, and 1.5 miles from Disney. I used these people: http://www.storytimeorlandorental.com/

Their places seem to book fast. Their rates are better than anything else I found

It can be confusing and overwhelming, but also lot's of fun! I would look at VRBO and Homeaway in places like Windsor Hills (have stayed there, very nice) and Emerald Island which I have heard is also very nice and CLOSE to the parks as is WH's. And Windsorhillsforrent.com also. Windsor Palms and Sunset lakes I hear good things about also. Good Luck!

I'll add another site www.orlandovillas.com. Ask yourself what is most important to you ie: pool pvt or not and what I mean by that some villas are so close to each other that you can see your neighbors right and left also is it important to have a game room. I first look at the pool and of I don't see a fence I rule it out. Price helps too. Good Luck!

Hi, we have always rented in Indian Creek, very very close, it is not gaited but I have always felt very safe. The houses are a good price and cheaper than Windsor Hills. Great place it is where we always stay!
