PicadillyParadise-Rent our 4BR/2BA Vacation Pool Home near DisneyWorld in Lindfields (Holiday Villa Rental near Disney World)

Why rent a cramped hotel room when you can rent the whole PicadillyPalace for about the same amount of money? This house (villa) sleeps 10 and is spacious enough to accommodate two families on vacation (holiday). That is a significant savings!

Savings continue by not having to eat every meal in a restaurant. Our kids want their favorite breakfast cereal and milk along with watching TV when at home, but always seem to order foods in restaurants that they never seem to like or finish. And it usually costs way too much. Get dressed, drive around looking for food, and wait in line to eat breakfast out with a family of 5 and you will easily spend $25 or more. Enjoy a lazy morning in and have breakfast at the Palace, then let the kids jump in the pool while you plan the rest of your day. Saves time, saves trouble and saves money!

Eat dinner out with a family of 5 at an inexpensive restaurant, and you’ll pay well over $40. Over $80 at a more upscale one. And, you’ll still wait in line. If you like eating out, Great! But don’t forget to bring back the leftovers. You'll have a refrigerator, microwave, stove, pots/pans to store and prepare that wonderful food for later that evening (isn’t it a fact that kids never finish eating in the restaurant, but are always hungry later that night!) Late night snacks in the Palace are always easy and accessible.

When you eat a more leisurely breakfast each morning before you set out and enjoy a carefree family dinner a few times at the Palace, during your stay, you will save enough money to help pay for your stay. Now that is vacationing wisely!

We discovered this ourselves a few years ago, when we rented our first vacation home. We are a family of 5 and couldn’t believe that we’d been renting small and cramped hotel rooms all along. We were so impressed with renting a house and so enjoyed it that we bought one to use for ourselves and rent out to others. PicadillyPalace is our rental home when we come down to Florida. Make it yours too!

You pull up to the hotel and there never is a spot out front. You drive around to the side. You walk up to the reservation desk and wait in line. They put you up on the 6th floor overlooking the parking lot. You go check out the room – small with two double beds. You need a rollaway bed for the little one. Are they going to charge you for it? Are they going to tell you that 5 is too many in a room (it is against fire code) and you have to pay additional for an adjoining suite? Maybe you just don’t ask. Do you just let the little one sleep on the floor with blankets and a pillow? No, three to a bed will have to do. Now it is time to unload the car, but first you have to find a cart. No cart. OK, let’s start to unload and maybe one will show up. There’s one – you go for it. Someone gets there first, you sigh. The kids are getting restless. Send them up to the room with the other adult. You’ll manage. Another cart and you grab it. Load everything on the cart and carefully wheel it to the room (things fall off anyway). You’re in. You’re beat. But the family wants to eat. No one wants to eat in the hotel, you get in the car and it is off to find an affordable restaurant. Exhausting!

The next day the kids are up early and you’d like to sleep just a little more. They turn on the TV – you’re up. One bathroom and you take turns. Go down to the hotel restaurant and have a so-so breakfast at gourmet prices. After breakfast it is back up to the room to finalize the plans for the day. The kids want to go to the pool first. You have to make a business call and no one wants to wait. You send them off ahead. You finish the calls (it is never one) and you head down to the pool. Where is it now? By the time you get there they are ready to leave and you hear about the things you missed while you were upstairs. They get out of the pool and it is a "wet in air-conditioned" cold shivering walk back to the elevators and back up to the room. You hang the wet trunks in the bathroom, get dressed and head out the door. One final chore before you go – uh, where do I hide the valuables from the cleaning staff, ummm let me see.

It was a long and exhausting day (and night) at the amusement park. You drive back to the hotel. It is dark and late and all the close in parking places are gone. You park about a block away in the back of the parking lot. The kids are asleep and you have to carry one of them back to the room. You walk the block to the hotel lobby with child in arms. You wait and wait for an elevator with child in arms. You finally make it back to the room and now you're ready to sleep. But the kids are now up, with their second wind, and want a bedtime snack. The hotel eateries are closed. Does the hotel have vending machines? Let's just go to bed everyone, pleeeease!

The day you leave is even worse, because everyone is checking out at the same time. Forget the cart, you’ll never see one, just start making the trips with the luggage to the elevator in piece meal and then down to load the car (at the other end of the parking lot). The kids are hungry but you have to get out of the hotel first, then you can eat. This is a vacation?!?!!?

First, there are no lines, no carts no check-in. We knew you were coming and the key is waiting. You pull up to the garage and you've pulled up to the front door. You are treated like royalty – you are on the first floor and the panoramic views of nature are spectacular. You don’t get one room with two double beds and a single small bathroom. Awaiting you are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a villa that sleeps 10 comfortably. Add to that all the comforts of home and a private screened-in heated pool overlooking a beautiful and peaceful conservation area. You are off to a "royal" start.

The Palace is close to grocery stores and all the main attractions. Disney is only 3.3 miles away. You can’t pick a nicer location. All Orlando attractions are near by. The Atlantic Ocean and Cape Canaveral, where the shuttle lifts off, are only an hour away. The Gulf Coast is little more than an hour in the other direction..

After running around the parks and the stores, take a day off and relax in your own private pool. No cold shivering walks back to the hotel room as you are just steps away from comfort. Sit back on the pool deck, enjoy a cool and refreshing drink and listen to the sounds of nature from the conservation area.

No carrying kids for blocks and waiting for elevators late at night. Pull up to the house and you've pulled up to the front door - you are in the house in seconds. The kids are in their bed and the two of you head over to your private room. Time for a little romance or a quick dip in the pool, maybe?

The kids want to get up early. Fine, they have the whole house to themselves and separate televisions with a Playstation away from you. Close the bedroom door and it is just the two of you.

Have a relaxed morning breakfast or family dinner on your schedule and not on some restaurant's timetable and waiting list.

And when it is time to leave you do just that. Your car is waiting at the font door and there is no need to find a cart or wait in line to check out. You have an extra hour - go pickup some gifts and head for home.

Make this a PicadillyParadise Vacation – one you’ll want to come back to over and over again!
