Or perhaps their £150 will run out half way over the Atlantic
It must work with some people because a lot of the enquiries are forwarded from one particular villa. When I looked at his rates they were, in my opinion, ridiculous but he must get mega enquiries to be able to pass them on.
I suppose he works on the premiss that it is better to have 48 weeks at a lower price than 26 weeks at a higher price????

If he does then is he taking into account all the extra wear and tear on his furniture and furnishings? We will stick with our current rates, its our first year and we are doing okay.[msnsmile]

John's point is a very good one.
Villa rental costs in orlando are already very reasonable when compared to the cost of renting in any other holiday destination. ( Try Newquay in august. ) Also your accommodation only forms a small part of the overall holiday cost ( flights, car hire, park tickets etc. ) yet is so crucial to the ‘enjoyment factor’. And of course most owners make little or no profit while taking great pride in the standard of our villas and furnishings.
If renters find an ‘absolute bargain deal’ rest assured there will be a reason!
Most owners just charge a very reasonable rate for quality accommodation.

Villas are rented out at very reasonable rates....
AS an example we have a static caravan on a site in the Lakes...which we keep just for our own use. the rates according to the brochure for our type of van would be for say 1st August for 7 days £732..that is just a 3 bed as well...without all the add ons or pool
It is the old story....you get what you pay for
If you look at the cost of renting in Spain to Florida there is no comparison, a spanish villa of the same standard to a floridian one would be 3/4 times the price. I know because I looked at spain before deciding on Florida this year. Villas with views and private pools started at £1,000 pw and the one I fancied was £1850 pw!!!
The old adage is true, you get what you pay for and if you are constantly trying to beat people down on price( apart from the big operators with big margins) you run the risk of alienating the owners and losing goodwill. Its not a good start to a rental relationship!! where goodwill on both sides is crucial.

My sister in laws aunt has been renting homes out all over the USA for about 25 years now.........when she first got her Orlando Rentals...years and years ago...she was getting well over a thousand pounds a week for them in high season......she is English.....and when she start very few Brits were renting out Villas in FL......I'm not sure if she still has them......
A friend of mine stayed in a flat in Bournmouth in the summer, cost her £400 for 2 adults & 2 children, and wait for it, that was only for 5 nights [:0] The verdict being it was ok.
I think the villas I have seen, particularly on these sites must be worth 3 times that!!!!
Overall, I think a guest gets extremely good value and good quality when renting a Florida villa with private pool, all verified if they are through these sites too[msnsmile2]
