You should consider an Airbnb for your stay in Orlando Florida as an alternative to Hotels or Villa rental companies. We have hired quite a few, but we still make mistakes as we will explain in today's vlog. We will give you our top tips to secure a successful rental property and the pitfalls to avoid. We will also walk you, step by step, through the booking process and then together we will review the apartment we have booked for the next two weeks with Airbnb Orlando Hacks Playlist th-cam.com/play/PL7.html...
Thanx for sharing...looks like there can be a lot of pitfalls booking airbandbs....you've smoothed the way for bookers. Keep an eye on the builders Max...You look like you will be comfortable in your chosen property, have a nice stay. Will join you next time for another vlog.
We have had to start charging a cleaning fee for our villa this year as prices to get cleaning done has gone up so much since covid. We used to include it in the price for bookings over 7 nights. We always state a price that includes taxes but have to charge extra for pool heating between October and April as utilities cost much more. We time ourselves on driving to the nearest Disney Gate and we quote 10-15 mins depending on traffic. I can’t see how places in Davenport can quote 20 mins. There seems to be a lot of flats going up around the 192 and The Loop at the moment.
Ayup guys,loved your valentines meal my favourite walls sausage’s in special gravy with windy pops yum yum,don’t like margarine I prefer James Martin slabs on upside down toast ha ha very funny guys enjoy your trip to the strip,don’t forget what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ❤
Having traveled to Florida numerous times since 1984 starting with Motels and later on renting a home from friends in Beverly Hills FL. (Ocala area) for 20 years and after that a home in Inverness (van der Valk). Seeing your video gives us another, less expensive, option to maybe try. Thanks for the clear explanation and tips. Hope it all works out for you in the end with the renovation🤞🤞. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thanks for the tips. Will be looking for an Airbnb later this year for someone’s special birthday 😊 Looks like the apartment will be great for your stay. One sink. Nooooooo!
My aunt in winter haven does this for us. You answered my I-4 question. The last villa by virgin was horrible so holiday companies are not always nice. The shower screen had mould the air conditioning unit kept playing up. We had insects coming out from the ceiling when the light was on, 14 days holiday and every night I was taking pictures writing to complain and waiting for someone. Inside the dishwasher was dirtier then our plates and under the microwave was greasy instead of a nice relaxing evening I was busy working but I love taking my clothes home washed I’m to busy unpacking all my goodies. Safe business trip Barry and Maxine keep those working men working can’t wait to see the final finished house. Hope your floor damage wasn’t as bad as it looked.
We've stayed at Floridays on I-Drive a few times before we had our place built. Some of the suites and rooms are privately owned and are rented out. Very similar place to where you're staying.
We stay at Haines city it takes about 45-50 minutes to get to SeaWorld on a good day and family are in winter haven so we choose book that area. Even Davenport is near Disney but SeaWorld or universal much further on a good day Love the video Iv heard of air b n b and saw the one you stayed in when Maxine looked in the fridge and could see fresh food, that made me laugh I couldn’t have stayed in that one well done to you both
Stayed at southern dunes in Haines city twice due to it being a friend of the family’s villa,and after a long day in the park and the i4 your looking at 1 hour 30 mins on average so each way thats 3 hours driving include 12 hours of park omg,never again.but southern dunes and Haines city is a very nice location,if you do stay there get to mannys chop house,i know there wide spread but this one is very very good..great info,great vlogs love watching hope the home renovations turn out for the best.
I think I'll stick to villas. I like a big property so my American family cancome and stay with us for long weekends. Very interesting vlog though. Thanks Bazzas!🙏
Home from home….. for 2 (???) weeks (hopefully not much longer given the unexpected reno hiccup). So glad this apartment was in good condition when you saw it. Haven’t used the service too often so some good tips. Have to say when I did (pre covid) those cleaning and service fees added on a chunk.
Hi Jackie , we want to protect the owners privacy by not sharing the actual address. Needless to say if you look at ‘The Loop” on Google or Apple Maps it’s one of the housing estates just below it. The owner only gives out the actual address once you book with them
Traveling out to Orlando in April from Australia with my family and staying at a Airbnb. Stayed in multiple airbnbs in Australia so I always read reviews, find a super host and have free cancellation like you said. Not knowing Orlando at all as it’s our first trip to the US I just hope and pray that we have a nice safe area for our family. Have you heard of Champions gate? Wanted a gated community for added safety. Absolutely love your vlogs and all the helpful tips you give 😊
Our place is on a gated community called Terra Verde (10/15 mins drive to a Disney Gate) and has 24 hr security gate plus clubhouse with a gym, resort pool and a Tikki Bar which is nice as you can walk to it to have a drink and not worry about driving. These are things that you should look at. We have a private pool/spa which is particularly popular with families but will cost you extra if you want to heat it
Thank you guys, I appreciate you. I love your music choices, what service do you use, I use epidemicsound. I've been watching you and the Lodge Guys for a long time. I was recently laid off but I plan on joining your Patreon as soon as I get back on my feet.
For a minute we thought you said you’d brought your own ruler… but you actually said broke your own rule there… you can tell where our minds are! 😂😂😂😂😂

We will show you more on the house in the next vlog and we have a story coming on a similar Airbnb experience…. Stay tuned

It always makes me cringe when they advertise “ only 20 minutes from Disney “ at that location
I think I'll stick to villas. I like a big property so my American family cancome and stay with us for long weekends. Very interesting vlog though. Thanks Bazzas!🙏
Some folks do rent out whole villas on Airbnb

@@ThemeParkBazza ☹️🥴
That apartment was quite nice.Has everything you need.
Yes indeed Margaret , but as you will hear in a future vlog, not everything was great
Hi Barry and Maxine. Thank you for the information . Can I ask the name of the resort please .

Random question guys would you ever return to live in UK or retire back in UK?
No plans currently, we never say never but the weather there is a real downer
You’re a nice couple.
Thank you Lynn x
