Vacation home rentals

[dkal95]

Does anyone here have any personal experience with villadirect.com?

We are considering staying off property now and really are clueless about where to stay or who to book through.

I have this fear that I will give someone all my money and then find out it was not legitimate or something crazy!

If you haven't used them but have another company that you would recommend, I would love to hear about it.

We are looking for something with at least 2 bedrooms and we really want a home and not a condo or other attached housing unit. We also want a pool and a hot tub.

Thank you for any help you can offer!!!

I too almost got burnt but came here and asked around, thankfully! Our credit card company reimbursed all but 35 dollars of our deposit. At Christmas, after asking numerous questions here, we stayed at Windsor Palms and went through Global Rental and loved it. We are going again in October, staying in the same home, and using GLobal once again! My advise to you is to go through the boards here and see what people have said to try and make an informed choice. I know there have been postings on this particular board giving good advise about what to look for and what to avoid when renting. Hope this helps.

Just a quick comment - There are very few 2-bedroom pool homes and they are mostly older properties that you probably want to avoid. So I'd look for at least 3-bedrooms.

Hi..VillaDirect is a very reputable company that does only home rentals, no sales of homes. They have expanded a lot in the last year and rent almost all newer homes in the area.
You can pick the home you want on the web site and either call them or book it via internet. www.villadirect.com
I would have no hestitation recommending them. They are also very easy to find to pick up and drop off keys very close to Disney.

Best Wishes.....Ted
