I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I like to see floor plans and room dimensions. It's not the first thing on my list but it is often the deciding factor.

Floor plans are a great help......I would of needed my kids near me when they were small....not right on the other side of the house.....both we very sick when young.....and they would need me quicky......having the twin bedrooms near the master would of been top of my list of must haves......

Well, we did manage to get all our requirements met from the list below and we are booking for peak time!!!! so it just shows that this site is so helpful and contains everything you could possibly ask for in terms of a villa and amenities, you just have to trawl through and select the one that suits you.
Thanks to all the homeowners who replied, all the villas sounded lovely, as did the owners, it was very hard to choose just one. The lakeside location we asked for swung it in the end, must be the PISCES in me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

Yet again we are searching for a villa!!!Having been now I know what is essential and what is desirable for us as a family. Would it not be possible to have a sorting order for amenities as it is time consuming to trawl through all the communities to find your dream villa!!! There is another site which does this so it must be possible, hope you dont mind me asking
We have to have
10 mins from Disney
4bed 3 bath
large pool/spa
pool table
PC+PLAYSTATION
It is desirable that we have
Lakeside
south facing pool
I can t seem to find all these features in the one house!!!so an index would help

Great news!! Where are you staying?[msnsmile]
-
We decided on Sunset Lakes, as it offered all we required and more, :)and is in the same area we stayed this year so it may minimise the problems we had with signposting!!! at least we may have an idea where we are, and the kids will not constantly be saying
"are we going on the right direction Dad" mind you we were staying no where near Championsgate and yet that is where we saw most of!! it seems to us all roads lead to Championsgate so perhaps a villa there would have been our best bet!!!!!!!!!!![msnwink][msnwink]DH kept muttering about "getting his bearings" we just kept thinking about the word that usually precedes bearings when we took yet another wrong turn!!!!!!!!!!!![msnoo]
-
we are going back to the same villa this year in order to get our bearings, thought if we could remind ourselves very quickly then we're halfway there, and not getting lost like we did last time, am getting all excited.............:)

Fantastic, its a great location and a lovely community!

MUST have a heated spa to soothe our weary bones after traipsing the parks and comfy loungers for relaxing on pool days[msncool].
Location - 10 mins from Disney.
Pool table and playstation a bonus but not essential.

You have made me think,moms birthday vacation;unless it is specifically asked for I do not even mention our baby facilities on our initial response to an enquiry
And yet we have a good range including a large wooden cot(crib) high chair,bouncing chair,babybath and lots of baby toys.All free of charge
Perhaps I should start including this info with translations.You do worry about giving too much info and confusing people

We've been visiting Florida for over 15 years, originally staying hotels before moving on to villas, the more we visit florida the longer we seem to spend lazing around the villa ;)
We look for a rental home to have a mix of the following..
*televisions in all the bedrooms (size of tv not that important)
*two seperate living rooms \ one with tv
*computer with internet access
*large deck area with pool (pool size not that important)
*pool not overlooked
*shaded area \ lanai
*heated spa
*free international calls is a nice bonus and becoming more readily available
*good quality furnishing
*a garage to park the cars in to keep them out of the sun!! most recently we had a gamesroom in the house which meant we couldnt park the car (although I can understand that some families would love the games room[msnsmile])
its certainly a fussy shopping list, we're a big family and appreciate the above comes at a premium
