Unnamed DVC Golf Resort!


Ever consider renting a vacation home or condo?

Are you excited about your plans for your next Disney World Vacation but dreading trying to fit your whole family into a room similar to your own master bedroom for a week or two? Well, I have the answer…..

Stay in a spacious vacation home complete with private bedrooms for everyone, private pool, fully equipped kitchen, game rooms or home theatres, computers, high speed Internet, washer and dryer, televisions, DVD Players and VCRs, and much more! Vacation homes offer a unique alternative to paying the ever-rising costs of staying at a Disney resort. You can actually save money by cooking some of your own meals, washing your clothes for repeat wear, and enjoying that sip of wine out by your own private pool in the evenings while the kids sleep after a full day at the parks. Now that's a vacation!

So what exactly is a vacation home?

A vacation home is a private home that has been built, furnished, and managed for the purpose of renting to people like you for their vacation. It can be as small or as big as you need. Anywhere from a 2 to 3 bedroom Condo to a 3 to 7 bedroom house! The Condos will have a community pool, but the homes will have their own private pool and spas too.

The homes are furnished with the vacationers needs in mind. Most have everything you need including, dishes, pots and pans, glasses, coffee pot, can opener, bake wear, and other kitchen items. They have full sized refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, televisions, game systems, DVD players and VCRs. The linens are provided too! The homes come with a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and the like, but you will be responsible for your supplies for the duration of your stay.

The homes are cleaned after your departure, which is included in your cost unless you stay for less than 6 nights, or desire daily maid service, which can be pre-arranged. Actually, you will find that there are even "5 Star Series" homes that offer very plush décor, computers with Internet access, personalized answering phone, Play stations or X Boxes for the kids, and many offer a big screen TV for Dad and WiFi to keep connected!

The vacation home industry is quite large near Disney World in Orlando. Homes and condos can be as close as 3 miles from the main gate to 30 miles or more away. The rates will vary by the location and the size and quality of the home or condo. Be sure to specify what your needs are when making your reservation.

Vacation homes really are wonderful and once you have enjoyed the vacation home experience you may never wish to stay in a hotel room again! Your vacation will actually be relaxing. It is so wonderful to come "home" after a full day at the parks to a nice spacious vacation home where everyone can really relax.

Now you have lots of questions don't you?
Like where do I start to look for a vacation home?
What companies do I trust?

Well, ALL EARS®.NET has already done the research and makes it easy for you by recommending our partner All Star Vacation Homes! "I believe All Star Vacation Homes offers a wonderful alternative to on property accommodations and at very reasonable prices. They even have a partnership with rental car companies and have special offers for a "free car" with a week long booking!"

Rentals begin at off-season rates of under a $129.00 per night for a two bedroom, two bath condo that will sleep 6 people. The pool homes start at $199.00 per night in off season for a three bedroom that will sleep 8 which includes free pool heat and the free rental car with a weeks booking. The "5 Star Series" homes start at $289.00 per night in off season for a four bedroom that will sleep 10! (Do the math… 10 people in hotel rooms???)


Coming for a family reunion?

Vacation Homes can accommodate large groups too. For example a 7 bedroom pool home which will sleep 16 will usually have four or more master suites, five or more televisions with VCRs, DVD player, stereo, fully equipped kitchen, private pool and spa, telephone service, washer and dryer, dishwasher, two car garage or game room or home theatre, formal dining rooms, and much more. The off-season rates for 5 Star Home can start at $399.00 per night. And if you need even more space for a larger group many homes are available right next door to each other, just be sure to ask!
