What do you look for?

[tuzanne]

Hi Poet123 I can see that your list is what would be nice to have, but I think to be realistic it might be hard to get everyone of them, unless you look very far ahead, or are looking at a low season time of year to book. For example we have everything on your list except for south facing pool as ours is west facing. If I saw your list then I would not have responded to you because of this. This might limit the response you get to your enquiry. It might be better to list the things you def would not book unless they had them and see what you get.

Sue,
POET123 only said the southfacing was desirable, in the past I put out a search on another site for very specific requests and I got loads of replies back from people who did not even have the number of bedrooms I had asked for! It was annoying so I think they have it right on here about not replying if you do not have what is asked for but if POET123 was a genuine search, you could have replied as you met all the criteria....hope that all makes sense.

my tuppence worth, Firstly would like to know that a management company is on hand for emergency's
a, helpfulness/friendliness of the villa owners
b, proximity to parks/shopping malls etc
c, minimum of 2 toilets
c, heated swimming pool and heating
d, TV's and audio
e, washing machine and dryer
f, nice decor,


I guess my family is easy to please, we dont need disco lights in the pool, or piped radio/stereo throughout, spa, hot tub,
just a decent sized space to enjoy a well deserved holiday with access to facilities, parks, shops, but the most important thing is price, yes would love luxurious but space cleanliness, and the above would suit us lot, there is only 5 of us going in a villa that sleeps up to 10( 1 think)

Have been following this thread with interest and I now have a few more things for my next shopping trip at New Year[msnsmile2]
Would also agree that if there is anything potential guests are unsure of they need only ask. I know that we added stuff to our villa after requests from guests[msnsmile2]

Well said Leisa

Although I have to disagree about the hot tub ... it is a lovely way to relax.

Sounds like your family go to Florida for the parks and enertainment Liesa

[LiesaAnna]

we like the parks but i am not over keen i have put my needs down first but after talking to my family they agree with me, we like to be comfortable first everything else is second, we dont do parks here, so doing the parks is great but not everything...... i like shopping in florida but not here,... but then we have much more money to play with on holiday, as i've said on a previous thread i have bad knees with arthritis i do as much walking as i can but i do like to lounge around the villa and it is a lovely villa, we relax and just chill, guess we're all different.........

this is my first time trying to rent a home for a vacation (I have posted here and have received many responces and so much help thanks)
the one thing that I wish owners would add in their descriptions of the homes is information about any baby items they may offer - such as a crib, stroller and high chair.
Im sure so many families travel with an infant and keep their comfort in mind when choosing what they rent.
I would have chosen a villa by now if there were some pictures or a better description of the baby items
after 2 weeks of searching and dozens of emails with questions about cribs and high chairs, Im still undecided as im still trying to figure out if a cot is a wooden crib or one of those fold up ones
a picture says a thousand words and with that i could avoid bothering the owners with my needless questions

thanks all

HI Momsbirthdayvacation

There is a rental company that can supply a full size wooden cot/crib and all other babay items so if the villa of choice doesnt have what you want there is a way round it

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.
