Orlando Vacation Homes INSIDER

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 .

Globals Newest Orlando Vacation Home Community!

Proudly celebrating 15 years of property management in Central Florida, Global Resort Homes announces its newest Orlando vacation home community, Cypress Pointe!! Cypress Pointe is a private and tranquil gated community that offers spacious 4, 5 and 6 bedroom homes.  Located in Polk County, near Champions Gate, Cypress Pointe is less then 10 miles from the gates of Disney World.

The architectural styling features impressive stone exteriors letting you know that you’re vacation home is something special before you even set foot inside.  The elegant interiors include spacious bedrooms (each having its own TV), large living rooms and fully equipped kitchens.  Each vacation home at Cypress Pointe has its own private screened-in pool and hot-tub.  Enjoy the Florida sunshine in the privacy of your home and relax tired muscles from longs day spent walking around the theme parks by soaking in the hot-tub!  Most of the homes at Cypress Pointe have game rooms strategically located within the home, designed for hours of fun and enjoyment rather then being retrofitted in the garage.

Although Global typically manages vacation homes in large resort communities, Cypress Pointe has a slightly different appeal. With just 69 uniquely designed homes, Cypress Pointe will interest those who are looking for a quieter, more tranquil setting for their vacation.  The feeling of privacy and natural Florida wetlands form the backdrop and environment at Cypress Pointe – yet the community is less than 10 miles to the gates of Disney World!  The community of Cypress Pointe is perfectly designed for those who are seeking spacious rental homes with amenities such as a private pool/spa and game rooms set in peaceful, tranquil and private setting for their Orlando family vacation.

So, as you plan your vacation to Orlando make sure to check our brand new community Cypress Pointe!  Global Resort Homes also manages vacation homes in 5 additional resort communities including Windsor Hills, Windsor Palms, Oakwater, Vista Cay and Glenbrook.  No matter what accommodations and/or amenities you are seeking, Global Resort Homes is sure to have what you are looking for at one of our resort communities.

Texting - Orlando vacation deals on the small screen

Since now everyone had a mobile phone (including my 92 year old grandfather) Global is testing a new way to communicate with its guests - text messaging. Although, technically, it’s not a ‘new’ way to communicate. I think we can all thank American Idol with bringing text voting to the masses and the concept into the main stream for the rest of us. By the ‘rest of us’, I mean non-teenage thumb bandits that can not type those magical 140 characters in 4 seconds while driving a car. So, how does it work?

Each week (or when necessary ) we will post a new special that is only available to those who text the word GRHSALE to 41411 - ask your kids, they will help. Once sent, you will get an immediate reply with that weeks special. If you don’t want to have to randomly check each week, text GRHSALE to 41411 and then text the letter ‘Y‘ in response to the first message we send you. At that point, you will automatically receive any new sales directly to your mobile phone. Text ‘UNSUB‘ at any time to remove yourself from the list.

Check with your mobile carrier to see if you have SMS messaging on your phone. Standard carrier SMS rates apply.
