So you decided on Orlando Florida for your family vacation this year.

Before you decide where to stay think about what it is like in Orlando. It is usually very warm, even in the winter. Your kids are going to be exhausted from a long day of playing at the theme parks. Before you start searching the internet for a great deal think about what you really want for your family vacation.

Your typical hotel rooms has:

● Two beds side by side
● One very small bathroom
● A TV and possibly a chair or two
● Maybe a balcony

This may be fine for a business traveler or a single person. But do you really want to squeeze your family of four in to the tiniest space even for a vacation.

Just imagine, waiting to use the bathroom, crying and carrying on because they are thirsty or hungry, no where to site except your messed up bed. Here's something even better, most parents don't think about. Your bed is about 3 feet away from the kid's bed. Forget Mom and Dad having alone time.

You need a town house rental.

As the day at Disney World comes to an end and you all make your way into the hotel room, too small to really feel comfortable, you wish you had done a little more research.

Surly there has to be something out there that's bigger for your family, but not out the roof on prices. Surly there is somewhere out there that can make your vacation better rather than making it worse.

And there is. It's a town house rental.

Unlike your typical hotel that can only provide so much room for a family, town house rentals are large and like vacationing in a home away from home.

This is what you can expect in a town house

● A living room with enough space to sit with the entire family. Sit on a comfortable piece of furniture and relax.

● A kitchen and dining room. You have a refrigerator when you can store drinks for the kids and yourself. Snack, breakfast items and more so no more complaining and making Dad run out to get something out of a vending machine.

● Two or more bedrooms, depending on how much space you need, you can get a two bedroom two bath and up. This gives you privacy and the ability to get ready to go for the day at the same time.

● Patio or back porch, sit and relax outside in the beautiful Florida sunshine on your very own patio. You can even have breakfast out there.

Town house rentals are the way to go when visiting the sunshine state of Florida and Orlando boasts many town house rental companies right near Disney World, close to Kissimmee, in Davenport.

A close city, Davenport allows you as the tourist to not fall into the infamous tourist trap where tacky trinket shops are one after another and food prices are more expensive than anywhere else.

Not only will you be escaping the small and cramped hotel room if you book a town house, you will escape the fast-paced tourist mode and feel like you really are on vacation instead of simply seeing the sights.

Of course even when booking a vacation town house, there are things to look for and be aware of, for example.

● Find a town house rental in a resort like setting. Don't choose a town house rental in a neighborhood or community with residents and vacationers. These types of town house rentals do not have amenities you may look for, like a pool that is clean and maintained daily.

● Volleyball, basketball, tennis, game room, billiards and shopping are some thing you will find in a resort setting town house rental but not in a rental neighborhood.

● Choose a town house rental that has on site property management. Some of these places with out management make you check in across town and then when you get to your unit the key may not work. You have to return to the office to find someone to help.

● Choose a town house rental with on site housekeeping and maintenance. What if you need more towels or your have a maintenance issue; big or small you will want someone to help you.

They are hidden treasures among the Kissimmee and Davenport areas

They are hidden treasures among the Kissimmee and Davenport areas and though some tourists know about them, certainly not all.

There places have excellent prices and are looking to fill their houses and want you to enjoy Central Florida at it's finest with Disney close by and other attractions not far from your doorstep either.

Sea World, Universal Studios, and downtown Orlando are not but a car ride away and all apart of the Orlando experience.

Town house rentals are not only great for summer vacations; they are great for family reunions, get-away weekends with friends, or holiday celebrations.

A whole group of houses can be booked for many families that want the comfort of their own space, but the ease of being near their loved ones. This makes for a great gathering because the kitchens can be used to cook big meals, and though you may not all sleep in the same house, one can hold many people for a party or dinner together with the entire family.

Get-away weekends with friends whether it's with the kids for a quick trip to Disney World, or without the kids for some time away to spend with adults, town house rentals are the way to go. Instead of feeling so uncomfortable in a hotel, with nowhere to socialize or sit and relax, book a town house rental and have just enough room for a cozy, yet relaxing setting.

Holiday celebrations are an excellent way to spend time in Orlando

Holiday celebrations are an excellent way to spend time in Orlando, Florida as well. With Walt Disney World and the many other attractions that make up the Central Florida area, there is always something happening, something to see, and something to be apart of. With enough space and comfort in a town house rental, you can easily enjoy holidays in a home away from home.

Buy a Christmas tree and decorate it, have an inside Easter egg hunt or cook a Thanksgiving feast. None of these luxuries could even be considered when in a hotel room, but a town house rental will allow for a family holiday to feel as though it is spent at home while being so close to Orlando attractions and family fun.

If the kids get hungry before dinner, there are snacks in the kitchen and if they need time to read or take a nap, they have their own room to escape to.

The town house is cool when you enter it from the great AC and the space it provides your family is just enough ? close enough to bond on family vacation, but big enough for space needed from one another as well.

And you think to yourself how much better this vacation is compared to the ones in the past when you were all smooshed into one or even two rooms for the week or two that you were vacationing. Town house rentals will make your vacation that much better. Search for the discounts today and visit Florida the town house rental way!
