Sharing a villa with strangers?
Hey up.
My wife and I have just come back from our 1st, but definitely not our last, trip to Florida :) I went :( I'm back My wife and I shared a 3 bed townhouse with a woman who she works with and her husband. (we are all in our 40s) This couple I had only met once prior to going when I cooked them a curry for a Saturday night get together... this arranged after we booked everything so good job they were quite normal people:):):) The villa cost was shared 50/50 and we each took it in turns to go to Walmart... I LOVE their 1.5litre bottle of wines. We also had separate cars as they had been to Florida 10+ times and so didn't do the parks. The only time we spent together was 2 meals out and the odd bottle or 2 of wine just nattering/watching TV Other than that, our lives did not entwine around each other. My question is, has anyone else ever shared a villa (or even thought about it) to keep the cost down. Kel |
fair play to you doing that and it working, but I could not think of anything worse than sharing a villa with anyone... I would struggle with sisters and in laws let alone strangers... gladly pay the extra and have the villa to me and my family

Gosh, that was brave of you :omg: I'm glad it worked out for you :)
We often have 2 families share our villa but they are either related or are good friends Sandra |
Wow you were really brave. I've shared with family but wouldn't dream of sharing with a stranger - mind you I'd be too worried about them seeing my wobbly bits around the pool or having to creep around at silly o'clock in the morning when I can't sleep. Glad you had a great time though and it's a novel way of sharing the costs :wave:

That's great it worked for you.
However,I have absolutely no desire to share our precious holiday time and space with anyone else. Whether they're friends,family or strangers.;) |
We once shared a narrow boat with friends soon after we were married- never again.
I think you were very brave but I am glad it worked out for you. Penny |
Another villa snob here. I can just about bear sharing with my wife... (ouch ) rubs his bruised arm vigorously. ...

Absolutely definitely not - my worst nightmare!
How much did you actually save? I mean, what did the 50% represent? |
We shared a villa with friends and it was awful! Their marriage was a war and their daughter a nightmare who could scream and shout for hours until she got her own way! ! Never again!
