Follow Our 6 Step Plan to Save 25%, 35%
even 45% on your Disney World Vacation

 Our 6 step plan:
Our 6 step plan for cheap vacation villa rentals in the Disney World Orlando area

  rent a villa out of season  for big savings   free Disney World activities
1.Rent a villa 3. Visit out of season 5. Do free stuff
Villas are so much better than hotels they actually pay for themselves.  It's hard to exaggerate what a villa will add to your vacation. Peak & holiday seasons cost more
but low rate is 70% of the year. No crowds. Best weather too.
Not every activity costs money.
Follow our guides for free or low cost fun activities.
2. Book early  4. Minimize attraction costs 6. Buy your own food
Advanced booking & payment discounts, special offers, free upgrades, avoid tax & rate increases. Non US guests can lock in the best exchange rates in years. Attraction visits cost a lot.  All our villas have a free private heated pool central to our strategy for getting the most out of our attraction dollars. Eating out can really drain your cash.  Our villas' fully-equipped full-sized kitchens & free BBQs tame these costs with little effort.  Eat better too.


Our guests who follow our plan confirm that villas really do pay for themselves

"Out of all the places we have stayed in Florida, this is by far the best value for your money"  Shonna D

"Where else could you get a 4-bedroom “suite” for the price? Not to mention your own private pool and spa!" Jacob E.

Step 1: Rent a villa

An Orlando vacation may seem out of reach - or at least a stretch. 

But follow our plan and you will find that creating wonderful memories
can be done without breaking the bank

 

 

 Hotels or Villas

Rent a spacious villa - not Rent a spacious villa - not
a bunch of cramped hotel rooms.

The secret to the best, most memorable and lowest cost vacation in Orlando? - stay in a villa! Instead of spending tons of money on one, two, or more hotel rooms for enough beds for your family, rent a luxury villa.

Though it seems they would be more expensive, villas cost less than hotels and you get way more for your money.  As you will see later, villas easily pay for themselves.  Effectively, you stay free !

It is impossible to exaggerate the difference a villa will make to your vacation. A villa is a full-sized house with enough room for you to relax on your vacation instead of feeling cramped in tiny hotel rooms.

And if there are more than two people in your group – we think hotels are a particularly bad idea!

Most families need more than one hotel room. Now the problems begin - where will these rooms be?

  across the hall?    or even another floor?
  in another tower?    and just who goes where??

 

 

On vacation you should be able to please yourself. With your own villa with a private heated pool, you operate off your timetable

  come and go as you please   • sleep late
  no shared walls and noisy neighbors    swim anytime

 

  it is impossible to exaggerate the
difference a villa will make to your vacation.

 

  more than 2 people - we think
hotels are a bad idea !


 our guests say they will never
go back to hotels
 

 villas have 3 - 7 bedrooms.


Compare a typical hotel room to a typical villa

See how much more you get when you rent a vacation villa

 

Just look at what you get for less than the price of a mid-range hotel room:  a full-sized villa-style house full-equipped with everything you need.  Every linen, pot, pan, plate and spoon!:

Full kitchen with full-size stove, full-size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, waste disposal, blender, toaster, coffee maker, all dishes, cookware, cutlery & place settings.  All towels & linens, iron & ironing board, full-size washer & dryer, hair dryer, safe, cable TV, phone & answering machine, free local calls & Internet access.  For your comfort villas have ceiling fans, central air & heat.

Outside, every villa has screened-in private heated pool, a covered lanai, and a full set of outdoor furniture.

These villas are fully equipped to the last detail

villas start at less than $120 per night

[by the way, that's for the whole villa holding up to
16 people - not the cost per person]

 

villas actually pay for themselves 
- effectively, you stay free

 

 villas have over 5x the space of hotel rooms

 

 not only much more space, but peace,
privacy, and comfort...

Spacious home, great pool, 10 min to Disney, 5 min from
world class golf, why would anyone – especially a family
– choose to stay in a hotel?

Tim R. Porter, Indiana
Wow …everything was so clean and spacious.
Our children had so much room to run around
and play (unlike a cramped hotel room).

Trent and Wendy T. Dallas, Georgia
This was a great idea for a family of 10.
We will never go back to hotels! Enough room for a
family to spread out and relax: and a pool too!

Dan & Joni H. Ada, Michigan

This was a great idea for a family of 10. Instead of us
having to get 3 hotel rooms we were able to all stay together

Gary McC. Summerville, South Carolina
We will never go back to hotels!
   


 


 

 

 
   
       

 

Our 6 step plan

step 2 of our 6 step plan - book early

Step 2: Book early

Planning and booking ahead can really save big dollars. Let's look.

 

   
Why plan ahead?

 

 

 take advantage of special offers



If you are planning on going on vacation to the Orlando area and especially to the theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Sea World, or Universal Studios, it's best to plan ahead so that you are not booking lodging reservations at the last minute, resulting in expensive prices and horror of horrors, junky hotels.  

Take advantage of all the discounts, free upgrades and special offers available for early booking. As you will see later, you can easily save 25%, 35% even 45% on your vacation costs.

Booking at the last minute [and for peak holiday times this can mean several months out] limits choices, raises rates and even exposes you to last minute surcharges.

Rates continue to rise. Taxes, water, electricity and most especially property insurance continue to escalate unchecked.  These raise rates. 

Early booking locks in today's price and avoids the coming increases.

Overseas visitors especially Canadian and European customers can lock in the most favorable exchange rate in many years. 

We have a special program for you. If you lock in the rates now, you may save up to 12% just on the exchange rate.  That's free money.

 save as much as 45%

  avoid last minute surcharges

 avoid settling for poor hotels

 avoid rate and tax increases

 get free money!  - lock in the best
   exchange rate in many, many years
  Overseas visitors especially Canadian and European customers can lock in the most favorable exchange rate in many years.  Overseas visitors especially Canadian and European customers can lock in the most favorable exchange rate in many years.  Overseas visitors especially Canadian and European customers can lock in the most favorable exchange rate in many years.  Overseas visitors especially Canadian and European customers can lock in the most favorable exchange rate in many years. 
   

 

     
 The first step:


 

 sign up for news letter



If you haven't already done so, the first thing to do is to sign up for our newsletter. Subscribing to our newsletter is fast and easy [click here] and you will be the first to know about the various sales events and offers during the year 

But, please make sure you have added sales@floridas4corners.com and GOVrentals@aol.com to your address book or otherwise "white list' us.


We don't want to be swept out of your in box by overzealous spam filters.  Generally, we produce 5 newsletters per year and send 2 - 3 very special offers - so we will not be swamping you with yet more unwanted mail

You can always check the current special offers on the home page of our web site.

 

 please make sure you "white list" us



 you'll hear about special offers first



 check the deals on the web site

 
     
 Not really sure of your dates yet?

 

 

 family schedules not known yet



When you book really early to capture a deal, you maybe concerned that family members schedules are not yet know.  

Most commonly, schools may not yet have published their break dates.

We are quite used to this.
 Remember reasonable changes are always free, so when the schedule is known you can fine-tune the vacations dates.  

Also we have the best cancellation policy in the industry.

We make booking early risk free 
  

 this happens all the time


 take best guess


 reasonable changes are free


 best cancellation policy


 booking is risk free
 


 
  The big savings:
 
 grab the special offers


We regularly email special offers. 

Often we target otherwise quiet times but some offers apply to all times and all villa sizes.  For example this year, we had a summer sale where we paid the taxes.  That was a 13% discount - and you still got all the free stuff.

Remember, these special offers are valid only for a limited time.  Once we hit the allocated quota - poof! - they are history.

We always offer you a 5% discount for not using a credit card.

We accept personal checks, money orders, Western Union, bank checks and telegraphic bank transfers [wires]. We even show you how to use your normal Canadian or UK check / cheque book. And we pay for you to overnight the payment.  We make it as easy as possible to make the payment. 

Our pay-over-time plan has proved very popular. Normally, our standard terms require $250.00 booking deposit to make the reservation and the balance [i.e. the total cost less the $250.00 booking deposit] to be paid by 90 days before arrival.With our pay-over time plan [PoT] you make the reservation with just $100 down and then pay any additional amount at any time. This service is free - no interest or other charges for this service. This plan is ideal for early bookers and spreads the cost to the point where you will hardly notice it.

Usually, when you make an early booking you will receive an email offering you a discount if you pay your balance early.  The amount of the discount depends on the time left before full payment is required and may reach 10%.

All our rentals are in US Dollars.  One very good reason to pay early is to profit from a favorable exchange rate.  It's like free money.  We have seen customers save up to 12% in exchange rates alone and then we give them a discount as well!Several times a year, we send an emailed offer to all guests with a pending balance offing a discount for early payment usually from 6 to 10%.  These are time sensitive offers and are withdrawn when our target is reached.  So if you want to take advance of these offers - don't delay!

Join our StayFree program and your next visit can be free.  Not only that but free car rental, meals and attraction tickets too. 

All you do is refer other guests.  You can only join our StayFree program after you have rented a villa.  We want you to be able to refer others from first hand experience. 

With your memories of a great vacation in our villas - your enthusiasm will be infectious and referrals will be easy.

You get points for each referral and after a few such referrals you will earn your first free stay.  Learn more and sign up here - but please remember you must have rented from us to be a member.

If you want a very cost effective and comfortable place to
stay in the Disney area, then check out GOV Rentals.

We stayed at a wonderful 4-bedroom house with 3 baths, a built in pool on the screened in patio, central air and a 2-car garage, for a week, and the cost was less than single room in a decent hotel.

The 3 kids each had their own bedroom, and we weren't cramped into 1 or 2 small rooms
.

Al & Joan F. Dingman, Pennsylvania
 
We couldn't’t have asked for a better time or value for our money.

We have stayed at Disney hotels before and they are so
expensive that we had to figure out a way to make our
accommodations cheaper – now we rented a whole house
with our own private heated swimming pool and a car for
less than a hotel room.

Thanks

Mike W. Webbervile, Missouri
the rates are VERY reasonable!
This was our first visit to the "Villa's". The nicest place we've ever stayed on vacation and the rates are VERY reasonable! Will always return there whenever we are back in Florida. Try it. You'll LOVE it.

Brenda H. Monroe, North Carolina
 
This villa is worth every penny. We will never vacation
in a hotel again. I don't know who thought of this idea
for a disney vacation but it was great.

  visit out of season for the best villa rental deals

Step 3: Visit out of season

Come during the off-season! – Though it may be most convenient to come during the summer, it is not the cheapest or least busy time, that's for sure!

If you come to Orlando and Walt Disney World in the very beginning or very end of the summer, this will help your lodging prices some. But if you come at a time that is not during the summer not only will the accommodation prices be much better because the tourist season is done, but the lines at the attractions will be shorter, the whether will be nicer, and the time will be better!

If you can come to the Central Florida area in the Fall or the Spring or even the January time, you will save on money and the stress of crowds and lines. Take the kids out of school, let it be a special vacation this year, believe me, it will be worth it.
