Games room or Garage

[ellie]

That sounds eminently sensible, Nick, and I quite understand you wanting such great amenities, and I wish you and your family many wonderful holidays in your dream home. As for hurricanes, lets hope they don't come back with such ferocity for a very long time - and statistically that should be possible.

Unfortunately, not everyone is in your lucky position, and I think that many people fail to realise how very expensive it is to own and maintain a villa to a high standard - the 'dream' of owning a villa can often turn into the nightmare.

So, Nick, when can we all come and enjoy your home theatre - will 'do' the ice creams in the interval, promise! Have my little torch and a new box of choc ices 'at the ready'!

Some of the villas have games rooms that are not actually in the garage so you can have the best of both worlds, parking inside the garage and a games room if you look around enough adverts. On our community you are not allowed to convert the double garages and they must be used for the purpose of parking your car as on road parking is not allowed. (You can park in the drive also). We have no games room planned...as yet!

I think its down to what you have at home........we have a games room......its rare anyone uses it.........so I'd go for a garage.......if you don't have a games room at home.......then I'm sure the kids would use one in a villa.......because its new to them.......

Our first home has no games room, we asked a lot of questions about this when we first bought the home, and the majority was that American guests like the garage, as we have a four bed home it would be common for two family to drive down therefore two cars, and Americans like to use the garage, and as the UK guests would be more interested in spending all day a the parks who has time for games. But the property we are about to close on now, we would consider puting a games room in this one, to cater for both markets, those we want/don't want games room/garage. I don't think one out rents the other, just the same as one/two storey homes, conservation area/waterfront. whichever takes your fancy.

Our villa is on Glenbrook and we can have the garage as a Games Room as long as it is not permanent and can be changed back for use as a garage.

We set it up as a games room and have had a lot of positive comments about it, especially on rest days or if it gets too hot and everyone is fed up with sunbathing. It gives an extra option.[msntongue]

I think all villas should have a games/play/ room of some sort as for the times when your just too tired to going out and plus it would be nice/fun. Also why don't villas have hair dryers?[?]

Every home owner that I know has at least 2 hair dryers in their home. We have 4, one per bedroom!!!

Where did you stay that didn't have a hairdryer??????[msneek][msneek]

Hi Nick,
We have a state of the art Home theatre in our villa. We put in the best available and we are really pleased with the results. We know that some of our guests have chosen our villa because we have such a fantastic home theatre. We are equally aware that guests will have chosen alternative villas which have games rooms.
Most visitors will prefer a games room....thats okay because the ratio of games rooms to theatre on our estate is 10-1. We don't mind being the villa who provides something different, we chose the theatre because that was what we preferred.
I will try and post a photgraph in the forum for pictures but |I am not very good on the technical stuff.
