Part 3: A Breezy Oak Villas Vacation Home May NOT be for You IF…
Part 3 – You’re too rigid to relax!
• You expect to be out in the country, with no one around you for at least a few miles. That is not what or where our properties are. They’re in a subdivision of 240 homes. All the services you need are five minutes drive away. Our homes are private, but not that private.
• You don’t like traffic delays. A major construction project is underway on I-4, the major interstate highway that crosses Florida and goes right through Walt Disney World and Orlando. While the section through Orlando just finished a five year upgrade process which alleviated delays and traffic jams, now the section that runs through Disney World and near Thousand Oaks is being done, causing congestion and delays, and affecting all other roads in the area as frustrated drivers spill over on to them. We can’t do anything about it except provide you with all of the best tips and hints for getting around it. But patience and understanding is absolutely needed at this time.
• You want a themed rental with all kinds of cutesy graphics and paintings on the wall from your kid’s favourite movies. We would never have that in our own home, so we don’t have it in our vacation rentals either. We try to decorate them in quality-comfortable style, so they will feel welcoming and relaxing, and allow you to re-charge your batteries before you go back and have another theme-park or busy vacation day. We want our vacation rentals to be a place of relaxation and comfort, not remind you of another theme park like the one you need to get a break from (and which just emptied your wallet).
• You absolutely must have great cell phone service. The cellular phone service in our area is terrible. You likely won’t be able to use your phone to make and receive calls from within the villa. This is why we provide great internet and wifi, and land line telephone with free long distance anywhere in North America. But the cellular service is frustrating, for us and our guests. (Sorry.)
• You hate Florida, theme parks, crowds, driving, anything Disney, kitsch, pine trees, palm trees, water, brief heavy rains during the summer, tons of shopping opportunities; people who don’t look, smell or talk like you; tourist traps, and meeting people from around the world. That’s Orlando. Everyone should experience it at least once in a while!
