• Are the laundry facilities close by?

  To complete all of your essential holiday laundry needs, look no further than your own home! Each property comes complete with a full sized washer and dryer, iron and ironing board.

• What are some of the features of my vacation home?

  Each Vacation Home comes complete with wonderful furnishing to help make your holiday memorable and carefree!

• Do I need to pay for pool heat to have the spa/hot tub heated?

  Yes, if you would like the spa to be heated you will need to order pool heat with your reservation. A spa or hot tub is not able to be heated on its own. There is no option to only heat the spa, since it is using the same water as the pool.

• How hot will my pool be if i purchase pool heat?

  When pool heat is chosen for your home, the pool and spa will be heated to a temperature around 80-84 degrees Fahrenheit. When the guest then turns on the spa mode, the system will automatically adjust the valves so that the water from the spa is returned back to the spa. This bypasses the pool, and so the spa will be heated up to a temperature of 94-102 Fahrenheit. If left in spa mode, the pool will not receive any heated water, thus leaving it to cool.

• Will heated pools cool down over night?

  Yes. The pool heaters operate on a timer and are set to come on in the morning and go off in the evening, therefore there will be some cooling off overnight when the air temperature drops. In the coldest winter months heating the pool can be a problem, with the water temperature dropping down overnight. Florida has a high temperate climate but we do get cold fronts coming in from the north that can bring overnight low temperatures in the 30's and 40's. Unfortunately, under these circumstances there is no way the pool heater will be able to keep the water at 84 degrees. Especially where pool heat is provided via an electrical heat pump, if the outside air drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, the heating pump will be unable to operate effectively below this temperature, and failure of such devices is outside of our Companies control, and is regarded as an act of nature. Please note that cold weather does NOT constitute a mechanical failure, and no refunds will be given for problems that are due to cold weather.

• What do I need to bring with me on my vacation?

  We try to provide each guest with the majority of what you need, but there are some items that are not provided in the homes. While bath and hand towels are provided, you may want to bring your own beach towels and washcloths, as these are not always supplied in the property. As mentioned, Orlando Vacation Homes provides complimentary starter soap, toilet paper and trash bags; however once these items are used, it is the guests responsibility to replenish them. In addition, any basic toiletry items such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, etc., are NOT provided, and must be supplied by the guest.

• Do you allow pets?

  We are sorry to say that we do not. We have a strict no pet policy in all of our vacation homes. Those found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to a minimum $500 fee.

• Are your vacation homes non-smoking?

  All homes have a strict non-smoking policy. Guests are permitted however to smoke on the screen enclosed balcony, or outside of the property. Those found to be in violation of the smoking policy will be subject to a $500 fee.

• Do you have a lost and found?

  TYes! In the event any personal items are left behind in your vacation home we will do our best to locate it. However, the owner and the management company are NOT responsible for any losses. Orlando Vacation Homes uses PAKMAIL to handle all shipping of left behind items, and the guest will be 100% responsible for shipping costs.

• Are the properties cleaned daily?
