    Hampton Lakes rental

    Hi,
    I,m looking to rent in July/August & have had a reasonable offer of $700 from a Hampton owner. I have never stayed in your community before & would like some info. if possible.
    Is it easily accessible
    How far,driving, to Disney
    I often use the Ponderosa at junction of 535/536 on wat to attractions - how far from hampton.
    look forward to hearing from someone.
    any other onfo would be appreciated.
    Kevin

    At just over £40 a night in August I'd book it up quick if I were you, we pay more than that for a 1 night stopover at the airport for a family room with none of the facilities of a villa.
    We love Hampton Lakes and have had our home there for 3 years now. It's about 11 miles to Disney and generally takes us between 10-15 mins. It's close enough to be very convenient for the attractions but when you aren't going to the parks or when you drive through the orange groves it makes you feel as though you are in the real country a bit more. You can reach both coasts and many state parks easily on Hway 27 and there is a library on 192 west if your villa doesn't have internet access and you want to look anything up.
    I must admit we prefer the Golden Corral to Ponderosa and use the one near Splendid China a couple of times each trip.

    At that price its probably not Hampton Lakes in Orlando Florida. If you knew Hampton Lakes in Orlando Florida you wouldn't even ask you have personnally delivered the check to the owner.

    That is a ridiculously low rate for prime season dates. Rather than grabbing their hand off, I would be asking myself what sort of blind desperation drove the poor owner to accept a rate that is almost certainly not covering their costs and whether they are still going to have their home in eight months time for you to stay in.

    I have to say that $700 for 10 nights is very very very cheap, these dates are high season and most owners would not have a problem filling these dates at there normal rate........so if you have been quoted $700 then i would book it.........i would say that the owner may of made a mistake and quoted you $700 when really it should be £700.....i would double check this

    You really think it's an 'iffy' deal then?
    Lookung through [website links edited] there are loads of ads for Hampton Lakes, very few if any have bookings for next August yet. These are Brits. so I decided to ask them for their best rates.

    Thanx
    I have already double checked they are Brits who would prefer payment in £s they have already converted $price to £437 for the 10 days. Even tho' I,m a newbie at your forum I,ve been coming to Fl. since 1980! Many times to Orlando but never H/Lakes so I,m looking for info. ease of access restaurants etc.
    I,m more of a South West 'expert' really, Sanibel/Captiva ares.
