Debbie's Villas

Debbie's Villas: private villa rentals in Orlando since 1999

Debbie's Villas is a British agency specialising in arranging stays in private villas in the Orlando area of Florida. It has been operating since 1999 and, according to its own presentation, has served thousands of customers who have booked their holidays in the region with the company. The company describes itself as a specialist in this type of accommodation and maintains a selection of hundreds of villas available to view.

Personal selection of every property

The agency states that it personally visits every villa it lists and only adds to its catalogue those where its staff would be willing to stay. As a result of that process, it maintains that the photographs shown correspond to the specific property and not to generic images of another similar home. The selection is presented as a quality filter prior to marketing.

Search filters and types of villa

The website's search tool allows properties to be filtered according to various features. Among the available categories are villas with a games room, with a south- or west-facing private pool, with a spa, with scenic views, in gated communities, with access to community facilities and accessible villas. It is also possible to search by number of bedrooms, from two to eleven, and by location.

Accommodation areas in Florida

The villas are spread across towns in central Florida. The catalogue includes properties in Kissimmee, Davenport, Clermont and Haines City, as well as accommodation near Disney World and Universal Resorts. The agency also provides information on communities, shopping, restaurants, golf courses, theme parks, sports, weather and wildlife in the region.

Services complementing accommodation

In addition to villa rentals, Debbie's Villas sells flights, car hire and attraction tickets. Bookings can be made with or without flights included. The company states that its knowledge of the area comes from its own visits to shopping malls, restaurants, golf courses and theme parks, experience that it passes on to customers who book with it.

Booking protection and pricing conditions

Debbie's Villas is a member of ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents), with number Y5238, and has ATOL protection, licence number 11188. The agency highlights that its prices include all local taxes, booking fees and charges, so the amount shown is what the customer pays. The site also indicated a reduced deposit offer of £100 to book a stay in Orlando, subject to the published terms and conditions.

Customer service and editorial content

The company can be reached by email and by standard-rate telephone seven days a week. It maintains a blog with recommendations on places to visit and travel tips, and publishes reviews from previous guests. The website also includes an FAQs section and another with practical information about Florida, with details on weather and official travel advice.
