One of the more expensive areas for villa rentals but worth it. More than 60 miles of beaches some of which have been voted in the top 20 in the entire USA. Most popular priced homes are about a 20-30 minute drive from the beaches. Well established area with terrific variety of shops and restaurants to suit all tastes Good nightlife particularly at weekends. Two outlet malls for very cheap shopping Variety of water sports and boats / jet skis for hire Siesta Key and Anna-Maria Island are great for families, while Longboat Key is more suitable for adult groups. Plenty to do, but you have to go out and find it. Our local staff are ready to help guests find what is best for them. Closest theme park is Busch Gardens a little over an hour’s drive away. Homes close to the beach will be older than those in Orlando.

Occupancy Levels 3 Bedroom Home: Maximum 06 people 4 Bedroom Home: Maximum 08 people *Homes may be equipped to accommodate an additional two (2) people when using the sleeper sofa or roll away that can be located in the main living area. For reasons of privacy and comfort, we strongly recommend that your guests do not exceed the recommended occupancy levels. *not all homes feature sleeper sofa. Pool Heating Electric Pool Heat: The vast majority of heaters installed in rental properties are electrical. Electrical pool heat is priced at $25 per day depending on the home. Electrical pool heaters will generally heat the pool on average 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the average daily temperature. In most pool heaters, there is a thermostat that will automatically switch the pool heating off if the outside temperature drops below 55 degrees. If clients pre-pay for pool heating and the weather falls below desired temperatures, the client can request a full refund within 24 hours of arrival. If client requests this, the pool heating will be switched off. However, if they decide to leave the heating on during inclement weather no refund can or will be issued after the fact. Gas Pool Heat: Gas Pool Heat costs $42 per day depending on the home. This form of heating is far more effective than electric. Any home that does have gas heating will be advised at reservation stage and client can decide to accept or decline this option. If declined, an alternative with electric pool heat will be offered. |
