Last Minute Villas

The new “strict” enquiries have had to be changed to a pink(ish) colour this is because the colour we originally chose has an effect on M-S sufferers so my sincere apologies to those who were affected.

Over 100 owners are now using the calendar but I notice that there are still some owners with rentors.org links please remove these as soon as possible.

I have decided yet again to close the site to any new Orlando/Kissimmee owners with immediate effect we will once again start a waiting list for homes. This is to ensure you have the same ratio of enquiries to owners as before, (in fact because of the recent changes I think it is even greater).

Existing owners will be able to list extra homes that they purchase. This will of course be continually reviewed. The Last Minute Villas site continues to gain exposure, and climb even higher in the searches.

Last Minute Handyman services also continues to grow,we now have 6 staff. Our range of work is also growing so I have now dedicated pages for each job we complete so that you can see the range,this last month we have been responsible for building screens,extending pool decks and screens,planting trees,painting homes,caring for gardens,repairing doors,installing fans,installing Florida glass etc.

We are also getting so many requests for games rooms that we have put a package together that does the whole job including supplying the games all the information is on the site.

We received this wonderful testimonial from a happy customer, so I thought I’d post it here.

Here’s what she says.

Your website was recommended to me and I made an enquiry about a villa near Disneyworld for the last week of July. I received numerous replies. I was spoiled for choice. Three villa owners actually telephoned me. One from England!

I liked the fact that a shopper could click onto the villa to see various rooms for comparison purposes. I also found that the rental prices listed were negotiable. I ended up choosing a 4 bedroom, 2 bath villa with a swimming pool in Sunset Lake for 6 nights for only $595 including all taxes and fees.

Each bedroom had a TV with DVD player. There was also a Playstation 2 in the lounge with a Dvd player. There was also a game room with Air Hockey and FoosBall and it was within 5 miles of Disneyworld. This should keep the teenagers entertained.

I also liked the fact that it was a gated community. I have never rented a villa before and it was less expensive to rent a villa than a hotel room. There are 4 of us traveling. Myself, my adult daughter and two 14 year old grandchildren (a girl and a boy). Each of us will have our own bedroom.

I did check various hotels. The least expensive room that I could find near Disneyworld was a 1 bedroom suite with a King bed and a hideaway sofa for $109 a night plus a rollaway bed would have been an additional $20 a night not including taxes. A medium range room with two double beds at a Disney resort would have been $149 a night not including taxes and I still needed a rollaway bed.

If we had rented a hotel, we would have all been in the same room with one bathroom and one television. It would have been a little crowded. Needless to say, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and a private swimming pool in a villa vs all of us in one room at $46-$68 per night cheaper! No brainer!

I also liked the fact that there was a grocery store nearby so that we could have most of our meals at the villa thus avoiding the high costs of eating in restaurants or at the amusement parks. We can go to the parks, come back to the Villa during the heat of the day and have lunch, swim, maybe nap and then return to the park later in the day.

We travel next week so I’ll know more then. I’m sure that I will be satisfied. The villa owner e-mailed me most of the information and booking the villa was easy. I know that if we have a nice holiday that I’ll always book a villa vs a hotel room in the future. Thank you for your website.

Every villa owner that contacted me was gracious. I really had a lot of choices. It was a joy shopping for a villa on your website. Thanks again!
