Had just about made up our minds that a hotel was the way to go for our trip to Orlando next May - and then I thought of all the people who have said to us ".......we would hire a villa"! Therefore, so I can compare prices etc, can someone please recommend say half a dozen co's that provide villas near to Disney, and preferably near to some restaurants/shops! There will only be 4 in our party - 2 adults and 2 children & we would like a private pool if we go down the villa route (dont really see the point in sharing a pool as we may aswell be in a hotel!).
Many thanks.

)
They are excellent. They even came out to check on us before & after hurricane Jeanne last year.
Get a villa. You wont regret it

We booked our villa through orlandovillas.com, just came back on Saturday, had a fantastic time. Our villa was at Emerald Island Resort, at the most it took us 15 mins to reach the disney parks. It was situated just off the 192 beside what used to be splendid china. We found it to be in a good location for eating out and shopping, this is the second time we have been here. It is a gated community and well maintained. There was only 3 in our party but we felt it was worth having plenty space and your own pool and not stuck all in one hotel room.
Many thanks all of you
I will start looking when my little ones are at school!

PS one more question - like Aileen D who stayed at the Emerald Island Resort which was fairly close to Disney - if anyone knows of other villa 'areas' which are close to Disney, please could you name them!
thanks

To be quite honest, Most villa complexes are approx 15-20 mins drive. The roads are so easy to use and the speed limits tend to be higher than here.
Hi Jo Jo C,

There were road works just outside of Emerald Island Resort, but they did not bother us as when you arrive at Emerald Island you have a drive way to travel up before arriving at the gatehouse so you are not near any road works. While we were there in May they built 5 - 6 houses behind the villa we were in, noise was not bad and you were not always in the villa during the day.
We have recommended this resort to our relations and are going next year, we felt it was an idea location for all parks etc.

Thanks for that bit of info, we have booked for next september to stay at either Emerald island, Oak island cove, rolling hills, Windsor palms or indian creek, we wont know till we get there which one.
I have researched all of them and emerald island looks the best and closest to disney But we have booked a three bed villa and none of the web sites that advertise emerald island do three bed villas, so i think we will be in one of the other communities. 
Was there a supermarket and restuarants close by?
who did you book with ?
Thanks

We've stayed twice before in Westridge in Davenport. This year we would like to stay closer to the 192. Does anyone know any villas - at least 3 bedroomed with a pool - closer to the 192?
I would like to view a detailed map of this area - where can I see one?

Hi, ive just been and had a look at these links - went onto orlando villas - there would be 5 of us going - im the youngest at 30 and would be the only female - where would the best place be to stay as there seems a lot of gated communities - driving wouldnt be a problem - the cost is working out a hell of a lot cheaper especially with it being villa per week and not per person - and flights are cheap enough.
Hi Wickchick,
I have a 3 bed villa at The Manors of Westridge sub-division in Davenport just 10 mins from Disney. What dates were you looking for?
Let me know if I can help.

Hi Casterton
Do you have a website for your villa? My boyfriend and I are possibly looking to go back to Florida this year. It's pretty expensive for a villa becuase there's only the two of us but we are still considering it.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Gill

Hi Wickchick,
The website is under re-construction at the moment but if you give me your email address, I can email some pics to you.

Please do not post email addresses or discuss dates/prices of private rentals on the open forum, please use the pm facility instead.
Thanks.
