Relaxing in an ALL STAR
Vacation Home
by Jennifer Marx

Another off-property lodging option that can provide excellent value is a vacation home rental. Vacation homes are typically free-standing houses or condos with several bedrooms, kitchens, and pool access ... some vacation homes even have their own private pools and hot tubs. Vacation homes are ideal for large families and groups. Many vacation home rental companies operate near Walt Disney World, and choosing from among them can get confusing. Important points to look for in a vacation home rental company include proximity of homes to Walt Disney World, quality of customer service, prices, and extra fees. We’ve only tried one rental company—ALL STAR Vacation Homes—but we’ve been so impressed that we’ve been back several times. Below is their information, followed by general contact information for some other vacation home companies for which we’ve received positive reviews from our readers.

ALL STAR Vacation Homes really shines in our book. ALL STAR Vacation Homes has a full guest service center near their properties; more than 150 homes within four miles of Walt Disney World (we can see Expedition Everest from the patio of our favorite home at 8009 Acadia Estates); excellent amenities in clean, luxurious homes; and great deals on a wide variety of home sizes. Most homes have computers with Internet, and all guests have free access to their Internet Cafe. Their customer service has always been helpful and friendly, and their vacation homes have secured and gated entrances. Vacation home rentals start as low as $119/night. We could go on and on ... actually, we have in the form of several feature articles (see http://www.passporter.com/asvh.asp).
