Orlando Condo Rentals - A Comfortable, Convenient Vacation Lodging Choice

By Stephen Daniels

A visit to Orlando, Florida isn't just about Disney World -- there are a myriad of other theme parks and attractions to visit, as well as an exciting nightlife, many bargain shopping centers and a wide array of fine cuisine. Coupled with warm sunshine year-round, this makes Central Florida a top vacation destination for foreign and domestic travelers alike. On average, people stay one to two weeks to take in more of the theme park and other attractions. To maximize comfort and flexibility during these longer stays, an Orlando condominium rental is a great choice.

The city of Orlando is teeming with hotel rooms, from the super luxurious to the budget-friendly. Regardless of whether a hotel is of the luxury or budget variety, hotel rooms generally lack many of the conveniences we take for granted in our homes. Conversely, the myriad of condo lodging options in the area afford the traveler more privacy and more space. Many are quite spacious and open. You can select from one, two, three or even more bedrooms to accommodate a couple, a family or quite a crowd! Even more importantly, condos come with all the conveniences we are used to at home.

Though many of these condos afford a considerable amount of living space, they might not be as expensive to rent as you expect. Sometimes, deals are available that price condos similarly to many hotel rooms. This is especially the case when you are getting a special rate for extended rentals of more than one week. Cost cutting amenities of condos can add up to savings during your trip. Hotels, whether expensive or budget, don't usually offer separate sleeping spaces for family or group members, and they may not have the dining options you prefer.

By contrast, those staying in a condo have use of a full, private kitchen for cooking meals, with plenty of space for groceries. Cost savings for preparing your own meals as opposed to eating in restaurants, with gratuity added, can add up to hundreds of dollars per week. Your Orlando rental unit offers everything you need for your relaxing, tranquil stay, including, among other things, kitchen appliances, dishes and cookware, and linens.

Some of the condo rental properties in this area are located away from the major tourist traps. Instead, they are in and around residential areas that are the envy of the world. In most cases, guests can freely use all the amenities a property offers. These can include BBQ grills, yards and gardens to wander, workout rooms and swimming pools. Even if your condo is on a side street, the outstanding public transportation system in the area will still make it easy for you to access the city's top attractions.

For people traveling with animals, many Orlando condo rentals may accept small dogs or cats. The condo experience is cost effective, especially for families and groups, relatively hassle-free and offers amenities far beyond what is usually found at a local hotel, making it a great choice for savvy travelers who demand the very best.
