    We do not consider a 2 week stay as exteded either. We do offer a small discount if the booking is at least 3 weeks.

    As others have said I do not discount because bills and expenses on the villa are very high.

    Two weeks is the 'normal' period for people from the UK for their vacations so it's not considered an extended stay.

    If you normally spend time in a WDW hotel, the price of a vacation home for an additional week will be a discount in itself anyway (as well as having loads more space and freedom)!

    Thank you everyone. I had thought the answer would be "no" and it seems to be. Still not sure whether we will split the stay between two villas, but when looking at one I will just mentally "double" the 1 week prices on your websites when I am budgeting for the trip.

    Think you have your answer re "extended stay". With regard to moving communities mid stay, again a personal choice i would say, but IMHO, think I would enjoy my trip more if I set up base camp in my first choice and enjoyed my trip from there[msncool]To be honest, I must say, i am not really a keep moving sort of person these days[msnwink] I would consider what you think are the benefits of moving villa communities within the same area

    Bear in mind the check-in and check-out times.
    Many homes will have a check out time of 10 or 11 am and you may not be able to check in to the next home until 4 pm.
    This is OK if you are travelling around but if you are staying in the Orlando area you will have to keep your luggage in the car for the day.

    If you are staying in the Orlando area then I would recommend 2 weeks in the same villa. They are all so great that once you have been there for a few days, it will feel like home and you won't want to move.
    Make sure you choose the right villa in the first place by using one of the links at the top of this page and then you can't go wrong.

    Sorry but a 2 weeks is not an extended stay for us. I would not give you a discount for 2 weeks. We will give discount for 4 weeks or long.

    Cannot quite understand why you would want the hassle of packing and unpacking twice. For me it's the worst part of a holiday.

    Absolutely no discount for a two week stay - as many of the other owners have said, it's a normal length if stay. Bills still have to be covered by the owner, and to be very honest, most owners have no need to discount at all as they get booked up quickly as their homes are such value for money anyway. Try booking a villa of comparable size in Portugal and see the prices you would have to pay.

    No discounts from us either. Our UK guests usually book 2 weeks, so two weeks is very much the 'norm.' The cost of even a modest hotel in comparison with all the luxury and space of renting a villa is much higher, so as others have said, villas are wonderful value. We do not take bookings of less than 2 weeks at peak times, either, as these times are so popular.

    To offer discounts would mean that we would have to cut corners, and we would not want to compromise on giving our guests the very best holiday ever. In the scale of things, when you add together all the costs of a holiday in Orlando, the cost of renting a villa is a very small part. However, the sort of accommodation you book can have a massive effect on the enjoyment of your holiday. It is just not worth taking the risk.
