Florida Spirit Goes to the Dogs…

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

The trends of recent travel studies have shown that more and more pet owners want to bring their pets on vacation. Florida Spirit now offers the best in accommodations for humans and pets alike! Our homes, ranging from 3 to 7 bedrooms, will not only help you relax in the evenings after long days at the parks, shopping, or anything else you might be doing while in the Disney area, but will give you peace of mind when leaving your pet during the day. With no housekeepers knocking on the door, and the comfort of knowing you haven’t had to leave your pet cooped up in a tiny hotel room all day, you’re sure to see the added value that staying in one of our pet friendly homes brings.
Each one of our homes has its own private, screened-in pool. This not only keeps bugs away from you while you’re enjoying being poolside, but gives you the opportunity to let Fido go leash-less for a little fresh air. And with a safety fence between the patio area and the pool, you won’t have to fret about your pup taking an unexpected swim! Don’t you just despise the long elevator trips required at a hotel to simply take Rover out for a quick breather? With a vacation home, you’re just a few steps away from a lovely evening stroll with your pooch, whether it’s just a walk around the yard or a trip around the block.
The area in which our homes are located is convenient to many local vets, pet supply stores such as Wal-Mart, and even a doggie bakery! So click here to view out pet friendly homes…or call one of our agents on 1.866.357.7474 if you don’t see quite what you’re looking for. Let Florida Spirit help make your next Disney vacation magical not only for you, but for your pet too!

Florida Spirit Goes GREEN!

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Our guests and vacation home property owners are teaming up with Florida Spirit Vacation Homes to make our villas more environmentally friendly. We are the first vacation home company in Orlando to work along with property owners and guests to make our rental properties more “green” by taking action.

Florida Spirit Vacation homes now offsets 100% of the electrical power used by the management offices with renewable wind power as of August 2007. When vacation homes are not in use, Florida Spirit is also turning down hot water heaters to save energy. All pool light switches are being upgraded to have timers, solar pool blankets are being placed on pools during the winter months, and Florida Spirit is ensuring that all trash is recycled.

Property owners have been asked to assist Florida Spirit Vacation Homes with this effort by using energy saving fluorescent light bulbs and by planting drought resistant landscaping to conserve water. Over time, the property owners will be upgrading their vacation home’s appliances to higher energy saving units.

While vacationing, we are asking that guests only run the dishwasher and laundry machines when they are at full capacity. Guests will also turn off all lights when leaving the home and ensure that doors and windows are kept closed when the air conditioning is running.

We here at Florida Spirit Vacation Homes believe that making these small changes in daily behavior will go a long way to help keep Florida clean and beautiful for years to come.
