Never rented a villa before
Hi everyone
We are not new to Florida but have never rented a villa before and have so many questions. We are thinking of 2022 for 10 people. Would you recommend a particular company to book a villa through? And do you find that having a villa you spent less on eating out? Many thanks |

Heya, oddly enough I am in the opposite boat lol
The dibb has some lovely villas that are always worth looking into, I also spend less at breakfast but always seem to be out as don't want to be cooking on holiday (but if you wanted to cook then you would definitely save money).

The company I'd recommend for the villa is the dibb villa request section. We have been visiting florida/Orlando for many many years and have stayed in hotels twice as we pretty much love villas.
As for food we are a family of 7 most times and find eating a variety as times you just want to eat out and there are times you want a proper homely cooked meal. Cooking your own meal can be as expensive or as cheap as you want. |

Definitely spend less on eating out, even just on breakfast items. A large cinnamon roll will last me through to lunch. A quick evening meal after a busy day in the parks is a cooked chicken or fried chicken with rolls and salad. I won't cook on holiday but this is a perfect cheat.
For finding a villa you can search on here The Dibb, lots of lovely villas advertised. Our favourite resort is Formosa Gardens Estate but anywhere around there is a great location. Close to restaurants, supermarkets and the closest villa area to the Disney parks. We have booked through HomeAway, VR360villas and AirBnB before. |

We've hired villas through Virgin before but with no guarantee on where/what you are going to get we decided to book a Dibb villa last year so we know what we are getting.
It was perfect, so much so we've rebooked for next year (fingers crossed).

After this years virus issues I would be asking about their cancellation policy if booking a villa direct with the owner!

You need to read the T&C's of any villa you book..they will tell you where you stand...there is usually a range of time scales and the appropriate % of the payment you could expect to be refunded..ier
Let's hope this all becomes easier for us all as soon as possible Good luck with any plans

As above, T&C's clearly stated by our villa owner. He refunded our security deposit and the pool heating, the rest we are claiming on travel insurance, thats what it is for.
OP We love staying in a villa, we have had some from here on the Dibb and they have been fantastic. We often have breakfast in the villa but sometimes out, We often eat out in the evening but you can do this as cheaply as you want.
