what you see, what you get?

Have been looking into a lot of villas on this site, and i must say they are very nice, but at very low prices. I am very surprised at the prices, but do not wish to sound judgemental. Are all owners on these sites legit, and is what you see really what you get??

thanks vicky

Every villa advertised on the OV or sister sites is verified and so you really get what you see. Moreover, you get a chance to ask the owner specific questions as necessary. In the exceedingly unlikely event of a problem, the OV admins will be on hand to check and help you out. The motto with OV forums is "Don't look a the Gift Horse in the mouth"

Yes , honestly we are all legit! We just offer extremely good value.

All villas on these 3 sister websites are verified by the site owner. Every 6 months we have to send them documentary proof that we do indeed own these villas.

Because you are booking direct with the owner, there is no middle man to take their profit. If you book a villa through a tour operator , the travel agent,tour operator and villa management company all take their slice and in fact the villa owner who gets most of their bookings this way gets very little of your money.That's why you'll find the villas on this site to be better equpped and maintained than those you book through tour operators.

By booking direct with the owner you do see what you are getting and get to choose the villa that suits you most. The owners are very friendly and helpful too , and can answer lots of your Florida questions.

So , now hopefully that has put your mind at rest and you can have the fun task of bagging an excellent value villa that is exactly what you are looking for.[msnsmile2]

I agree with Nostromo and they are very often even better in the flesh!

If you are comparing prices to those in Spain etc Florida villas are always much cheaper[msnwink]

Hi Vicky
Yes, all owners are verified on these sites and yes as you have seen our villas come with many added extras and at very good value prices too! I would suggest if you have any specific queries that you should contact the villa owner and speak/email them direct.

I must agree with you Vicky the prices are very reasonable in Florida compared with Europe, and the villas are usually much better equipped and of course with air-con! Having paid double the Florida rental for a tip in Spain with nylon sheets and .... I could go on but I won't!! Guess why we keep coming back to Florida!

We also offer loads of advice as we just love nattering about Florida.[msnsmile2][msncool]
