Simple Tips to Keep Summer Vacation Costs Low

    /24-7PressRelease/ - ORLANDO, FL, June 18, 2008 - With growing concerns surfacing about a slumping economy and the fact that basic necessities like food and fuel are on a steady cost increase, don't cancel your summer plans just yet. The team at Global Resort Homes has come up with a few insider tips to keep summer vacation costs down, while still enjoying all the luxuries of relaxing summer getaway.

Go with a group: Unlike traditional hotel rooms and Orlando hotel properties that offer minimal accommodations and amenities, vacation homes in Orlando offer the added space and functionality that can make all the difference in the world. Numerous bathrooms, fully-furnished kitchens, spacious living areas complete with large screen TVs, game rooms and private screened-in pools and spas all promise to enhance your Orlando vacation. Whether looking for a private retreat for two or a property large enough for your entire group, renting a vacation home in Orlando will keep costs down, while giving you all the luxury you desire.

On average, a traditional hotel room costs at least $100 per night, and that's just for a traditional one bedroom guestroom that can be as small as 325 square feet. For as little as $150 per day, groups can split a spacious vacation home in Windsor Hills or Windsor Palms. Just think, two families can spend a week, poolside together for a mere $75 per day. So, travel with a group of people you love and enjoy togetherness without the close, impersonal quarters of standard hotel rooms.

Skip the parks: Orlando theme parks are known world-wide, but taking numerous day-trips to Disney and SeaWorld can get pricey. So, spend less time at the parks and take advantage of the numerous activities offered at one of these unique Orlando vacation home rental communities.

Create your own fun: Both the Windsor Hills Resort and the Windsor Palms' clubhouses feature a huge lagoon-style pool complete with hot tub. Windsor Hills even boasts a water slide. They also both offer a variety of recreational activities for all ages including children's playground, state-of-the-art fitness center, sand volleyball, basketball and tennis courts. Movie theatres, video arcades and billiards are also available for use in both resort communities, and some rentals even come complete with game rooms that include billiards, table tennis, air hockey and play stations for hours of added entertainment. With numerous resort communities to choose from, Windsor Hills and Windsor Palms are just two of the options available for rent with Global Resort Homes.

Eat in: Another sure-fire way to save money while on vacation is to minimize meals eaten at restaurants. When staying at a traditional hotel, there are few other dining options other than eating out. Global Resort Orlando, Florida vacation homes all come complete with spacious and fully-equipped kitchens and dining rooms. There's no better way to save money and enjoy quality time together, than to dine in and take advantage of the beautiful kitchens provided. Wake up to sunny family breakfasts, pack lunches for the pool and create leisurely family memories - tableside that linger late into the evenings.

With so much else on your mind this summer, let Global Resort Homes make vacationing easy for you - and get ready to enjoy a guilt-free Orlando vacation that you and your family will remember for years to come.
