Will we need to clean the villa?
It takes 4-6 hours to properly prepare a home for the next guest. It is very important that you leave the home on time. We do not expect you to completely clean the home, but please leave the home neat and tidy. Please strip all used linens and leave the pile of linens on each bed for the housekeeper to start, it will be greatly appreciated! Please don't leave unclean dishes in the sink or on the counter and don't put dirty dishes away as if they were clean. Bag all trash (no loose trash) and place all trash in the bins. Shut off the lights, lock the doors and have a safe journey back home. We look forward to seeing you on your next Florida vacation. We also hope that you will tell your friends about us!
How old do I have to be to reserve a home?
Minimum age to reserve is 25 years old and they have to be part of the group who occupy the home or have someone else who is older with them. In other words, if the oldest person in your group who is staying in the house is less than 25 then you will not be able to reserve a home. We screen our guests to determine group profile and the state and counties require a list of all persons staying in our homes. This is part of our Terms and Conditions Contract that you must complete and return to us ASAP after making your reservation.
What do I do if I have problems or questions during my stay?
Contact the property manager. You will have their contact information in your Final Confirmation documentation. They are available 24/7 in case of any emergencies.
What should my overall expectations be?
If you're expecting 5 star hotel quality pampering then you should stay at one of Disney's executive resorts. Disney hotel starts at $200 per room on average, and our 3 bedrooms condo starts at $75 per night, which includes a fully equipped kitchen, living room, multiple bathrooms, and electronics such as HDTV, WiFi, and Nintendo Wii. For $200 a night, you can even get a 7 bedroom villa which can sleep up to 14 guests, with your own private pool and games room. That is equal to less than $15 per person per night!
While we are much more affordable than Hotels, we do not cheap out on the amenities we offer. If you're expecting a comfortable, modern, private home that is well maintained and clean, then you will have a great vacation and enjoy the home you selected from us. We do our best to meet your highest expectations.
Are your homes suitable for young children?
Absolutely! We have lots of children visiting and we provide many baby items at no extra charge! This includes stroller, high chair, baby gate, and pack’n’play/baby crib.
How close are the homes and condos to area attractions?
Most of our homes range from 1 to 8 miles away from Walt Disney World! Every home, town home and condo we offer is located close to area attractions, restaurants and shopping.
Is the home I see online the exact one I will be staying at?
Yes, what you see is what you get! The specific property you see in full detail on our website is where you will be staying. All the pictures are of the exact units. With OrlandoVillas411 there are no unpleasant surprises.
Is this a timeshare offer?
We are not in any way affiliated with timeshares. We personally own the homes, town homes, and condos listed in this website. You are never required to sit through a presentation.
How many people are allowed to stay in each home?
By state law, occupancy may not exceed what is posted for each home. Maximum occupancy includes infants and children.
The following outlines the maximum occupancy for each home, unless otherwise posted:
- 3 bedroom sleeps maximum of 8
- 4 bedroom sleeps maximum of 10
- 5 bedroom sleeps maximum of 12
- 6 bedroom sleeps maximum of 14
- 7 bedroom sleeps maximum of 18
- 8 bedroom sleeps maximum of 20
Are the pools heated?
All our villas with private pool are equipped with pool heater. We do charge a small fee per night for the pool heater, as it does require a lot of electricity. You may select the pool heating option during your booking process.
Please do keep in mind that pool heaters have electrical/mechanical components that can sometimes break. We will do everything in our power to rectify any problems with malfunctioning equipment as quickly as possible.
Community pools are heated when the temperature dictates the need.
Will we need pool heat?
It depends. During the hot summer months most people don't want pool heat. Even though the pool can feel a little cool when you first get in, it becomes very nice after a couple of minutes during June - August. Winter months from late October to late March you definitely will want pool heat. Just because our homes are in Florida, which is supposed to be warm, the water temperature can get frigid, NOT something you will want to swim in unless you're a polar bear. Even south facing pools will be too cold to enjoy during the winter months. During the months of fall and spring most people still want pool heat because the water can still be too cold. Paying the extra cost for pool heat is well worth it.
Will pool heat be enough?
During winter months, pool heaters will generally heat the water temperature to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. If the air temperature, however, drops to 55° degrees or less, even though the heaters operate for longer hours than in warmer weather, they will not be very effective and the water temperature will not reach a comfortable level. We regret that in these circumstances a refund of part or all of the pool heat charge is not possible and your untanding of this is important when ordering pool heat. Generally speaking pool heaters will only warm a pool about 15° - 20° degrees warmer than the ambient air temperature, a little more if you use the pool blanket. This means that if the highest temperature during the day is 70° degrees then the pool should reach 85° degrees. This is not an exact science and should only be used as a guide. Be sure to use the pool blanket at night or you could loose a significant amount of pool warmth overnight. Using the pool blanket during the day, when you are not in the pool, will help keep the pool comfortable for swimming.
Are the properties non-smoking?
Yes, all of our properties are non-smoking. Smoking is permitted outside of the property only.
What is provided in the home?
So much, it`s tough to list it all. All linens and towels are provided. There is cable HDTV, a DVD player, and a console gaming system. The kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, blender, can opener, and coffee maker along with all dishes and utensils. Each home also has full size washer & dryer, vacuum cleaner, iron, ironing board, and even hair dryer.
Is there a fully equipped kitchen?

Are washers and dryers provided?
Yes we provide full size washer and dryer in every unit.
Are linens and towels included?
Yes, there are linens and towels provided in each home. All bedding is provided and towels are supplied according to the maximum occupancy of the unit. Note: Beach/pool towels are not included unless otherwise indicated.
Is there air condition and heat?
Yes, all of our vacation homes, town homes and condos have central air conditioning and heat.

No, our homes are cleaned before your arrival and after your departure. You can request a mid-stay clean at an additional charge.
A mid-stay clean includes: washing all sheets and towels, cleaning all bathrooms and kitchen area, vacuuming and dusting, sweeping and mopping and refreshing your starter paper products.
Are there cleaning supplies?
We do not leave any chemicals in the home but there is a washing machine, dryer, mop, broom, dustpan, vacuum, dishwasher, iron and ironing board in the properties.
Is there anything not provided?
There are a few things you may want to be sure to pack. We do not provide the large pool towels. You will need these because the pool water would bleach out the bathroom towels. Also, unlike a hotel, we do not have a supply closet just down the hall, so we are unable to provide the small "consumable" items that are necessary. This would include things like dishwashing soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, trash bags, paper towels, spices, coffee, sugar, cream, etc. We do provide the first roll of toilet paper and some simple hand soap. There are many full service grocery store just minutes from your vacation home where all these items are easy to obtain.
