The Ormondy Penthouse

I received the ever- important, overly informative  “end of summer” letter from my child’s school today making me aware of all the new and exciting changes that were going to take place this upcoming school year.  There will be new uniforms to purchase, new classes offered and new teachers assigned to these newly offered classes.  Yes, there are big changes in store for the students.

In fact we’ve been hearing the word “change” a lot these last couple of months.  Truth be told, the word “change” can symbolize to some “the uncharted and unexplored possibilities” but to others it symbolizes “the uncomfortable or overwhelming possibilities.”  Since summer is quickly coming to an end, why not make a change in your vacation?

Our guests have become familiar with the beautiful Orlando vacation homes Global offers close to all the Orlando attractions, but many of our guests might not be familiar with Global’s Ormondy Penthouse with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and inter-coastal waterway.  Most of our guests, when planning an Orlando vacation, might not be aware that they could enjoy a luxury condo steps away from the beach or that they could spend an afternoon salt-water fishing or parasailing in the Ponce inlet.  An Ormondy vacation could include enjoying a race at the Daytona Motor Speedway, or walking along the boardwalk, taking in an outdoor concert, and ending the day with an evening cruise.

Now that summer is ending and our schedules are changing, why not consider a change in your Orlando vacation plans?  Schedule a few days at Global’s Ormondy penthouse, for more info visit www.ormondy.com .

The Best Times to Visit Orlando

Having just returned from showing some people around SeaWorld, with the park near capacity, I realized that someone needs to get the word out on when the best times to visit the theme Parks in Orlando.  On certain days, Orlando guests plan to visit a park and arrive only to find that it is closed due to full to capacity.  Everyone I know that lives in Central Florida avoids the theme parks during these busiest periods like summer and spring break.  Most of us relish the slowest periods where you feel like you have the entire theme park to yourself.  The kids can get off a ride and get right back on it with no lines.

The ideal time to come and experience the parks is August 25 - December 15 (excluding Thanksgiving)  The weather is cooler than summer and you will experience very little traffic, no lines at restaurants and feel like you are royalty because everywhere you go there will be more staff than needed to serve you.

Another benefit of visiting Orlando during off-peak months is that Global Resort Homes offers incredible savings of up to 40% off our normal peak season rates.  Not only do we offer discounts for your stay but you will find that the parks also offer savings during that time - some even offer a second day free!

Privately owned vacation homes are one of the best ways to visit and experience Orlando.  Whether you are coming to golf, shop, visiting the parks or are planning a family reunion, you will be sure to find an Orlando vacation home to fit your needs.  Prices start at just $79 a night for a luxury 2-bedroom property. 

Come during the fall and experience Orlando in a whole new way! 

Snow Birds

Definition of a Snow Bird:  A retired or semi retired baby boomer who has grown tired of snow blowers and frozen toes.  Not willing to give up the North completely but would rather migrate to the South for an extended stay, escaping the cold.

Makeup: Primarily from Midwest and Northeast U.S. and lots of Canadians!

A trend that has been building yearly over the past decade is Snow Birds heading down to Florida and renting Orlando vacation homes.  It is a great option for them to come and stay for a couple of months or even the entire winter.  This trend has been such a hit with snowbirds that most come back year after year and eventually invite their friends to rent a home down the street.  Not only do Orlando Snow Bird renters find the perfect home for their needs but they receive a substantial discount for their extended stay while they escape the cold.

Orlando is the perfect choice for a winter stay as there is so much to do and renting a home from Global Resort Homes provides even more entertainment as all of our resorts offer a wide variety of amenities. Orlando boasts great shopping and restaurants and is ideally located in central Florida offering close proximity to either coast.  Resorts amenities include homes with private pools, luxurious community pools, guard-gated entrances, movie theaters, sundry shops, shuttle services, tennis courts, fitness rooms and this is just to name a few. Snowbirds can choose from one of Global Resort Homes luxury resorts and find the perfect fit for their winter home needs.  Should they miss the kids or the grandkids during their stay, they can invite them down for spring break and let them enjoy not only the great weather but also Orlando’s world famous theme parks and top attractions.
