Which Specific Unit from the "Big Three?"

[Redwitch]

I want to rent a condo or townhouse for our May trip. We need a minimum of two bedrooms. But, as the AP cost is a distance memory and I have "free money" for food, I can go up to a three bedroom townhouse (splash pool) as a splurge.

I know you can get better deals renting directly from owners, and I have done so in the past. However, given the state of the economy and the number of "short-sale" signs I saw in 2010, I'm not sure I want to risk it. Your trip insurance is not worth much at 4:00 check-in when you find you have no accommodations for the week.

So, my question is.... Which unit did you rent from ALL STAR Vacation Homes, Oasis Vacation Homes or Florida Sun Vacation Homes? What did you like? Dislike? If you were happy with another management company's rental, please share that as well.

Bumping this up in hope someone will respond.

We found magicalvacationhomes.com to be less expensive than the big 3 you mentioned. We stayed in Day Dream Escape.

Thank you. Unfortunately, We are traveling 11 nights and they only book Saturday to Saturday. I'd have to book three weeks

I would be happy to use either ALL STAR Vacation Homes or Oasis Vacation Homes. Both are good MCs.

Thanks Kay!
Am I correct in assuming you are VERY familiar with MC in Kissimmee? To bad I need much smaller quarters.

I will say that I know of a few MCs and that I have every respect for the two I mentioned. I don't have any direct relationship to either MC. (Even though one owner has the same last name as me, he is no relation).

I should also have said that the other one (Florida Sun) I really don't know anything about, so I can't comment on them either way. I re-read my reply and it could have been interpreted that they were not good, but I honestly couldn't say either way.
