The Best Vacations Begin and End with Tropical Villas Orlando
Once upon a time, travelers looked at their vacation accommodations simply as a place to sleep in between exciting adventures, but over the years that mindset has changed monumentally. Today, we want our homes not to just be comfortable, but to be stylish, modern, and to entertain as well, and we work hard to check off all the boxes. When you arrive at our doorsteps you may feel frazzled, exhausted, and probably a little achy from being stuck in cramped confines over all the miles, but the minute the door opens and you step over the threshold for the first time, magic happens. The light, the bright, the luxury and vibrancy that surrounds you works like a magic wand, wiping away the exhausting, erasing the frazzle, and leaving in its place a feeling of peace, anticipation, and wonder, encouraging each traveler to venture further inside, eager to explore all the treasures that await during their Orlando Christmas vacation.
The Best Resort Communities
Orlando is world famous for its theme parks, attracting travelers from all over the world to what was once just a sleepy little central Florida town that offered great weather and even better neighbors. As Orlando grew, a new phenomenon began to appear on the landscape, resort communities that offered not just places to sleep but were equipped with community amenities that made staying there almost as much fun as a visit to the theme park, and because the homes were luxurious, a lot more comfortable. These resorts began popping up on every corner, and while we at Tropical Villas Orlando don’t offer properties in every resort community, there are eight of the best in which you will find our holiday hideaways just waiting for you and your family to transform them into Christmas cottages!
Celebrate in Every Room
As your exciting Orlando vacation begins when the door swings open, chances are you will see opportunities to celebrate in every room you enter and explore. Even the entryway you are standing in at the moment may offer a little bit of holiday décor: a wreath on the door, a miniature Christmas tree on the entry table, a festive red bow tied to the sconce on the wall. And if not? It wouldn’t take much for you to add something, but for now, lets continue on into the great room of your seasonal sanctuary and explore all that awaits you there. Our rentals in Orlando, FL are mostly going to feature open concept floor plans, so when you walk into the main area, the great room, the kitchen, dining room, and living room will all run into one another, allowing visitors to stay connected even as you may be celebrating separately each space. Mom could be watching Christmas movies on state of the art televisions in the living room area, dad could be perusing online shopping options at the dining room table, sipping a cold beer as he does, and the kids could be rummaging through the Christmas cookies resting on the stone counters in the kitchen, seeking one shaped like a stocking and topped with red frosting, but with a glance, a comment, a joke, they will reconnect and rejoice in the time they are spending together.
The Christmas Goose
Ok, we don’t really eat geese at Christmas anymore, but it does fit the theme of the movie, and if that is still your feast main dish of choice, our high-end appliances in the kitchen will make preparing it a simple task with the most delicious of endings. Stone countertops in most kitchens may encourage you to roll out your homemade pie crust and when you pop the pie in the oven, you can rest easy knowing it will be perfectly baked when the timer dings, signifying its baking phase has ended.
The Family Feast
Now that the pie is cooling, Grandma’s sweet potato casserole and Italian style stuffing are resting on the counters along with the Christmas goose and all the other sides you have prepared (or ordered fully cooked from one of our local restaurants or grocery stores), it is time to take this show to the dining area to enjoy the delicious results of your work. There will be enough seats around the table for everyone in your traveling party, and enough plates for everyone to grab their fill and not have to share. Maybe after dinner is done you will play games here, or maybe after the kids have fallen asleep, this room will be gift wrap central as you and your favorite travel partner stay up until the wee hours of the morning, putting together toys and wrapping them for the next morning’s adventures.
You Never Expected This
One activity you probably never expected to engage in during your Orlando Christmas vacation is one that will take you through the sliding glass doors in the great room and out onto a screened-in lanai, where a heated swimming pool and/or bubbling hot tub will be waiting! 74 degrees is still swimming weather, and if you rented a condo that doesn’t offer a private pool, it’s ok. The resort in which your condo is located (and your villa or standalone home) probably offers more than one swimming pool, and most likely a lazy river, waterslides, even splash pads, much to the tiniest traveler’s delight. Also offering game rooms and fitness centers that can be either community or private, sports courts, hiking trails, playgrounds, onsite restaurants and tiki bars, there won’t be any blank spaces on your itinerary when you choose to stay home and explore the amenities of your Christmas rental!
Themed for the Kids, Serene and Tranquil for the Adults
The bedrooms of our holiday hideaways are true havens, designed to provide sleep and sanctuary to tired adults (Christmas morning is going to come too soon) and to capture the imagination of excited children, as most are themed and offer Disney princesses, Harry Potter, or even Mickey and Minnie dancing on the walls and appearing in bedding as well. En suite baths will give mom the chance to soak and relish quiet as she sips chardonnay and reads a Christmas novel by her favorite author. Every attention to every detail will make your Christmas escape to Orlando one you will wish never had to end. Reserve your favorite today!
