If you wish to change your travel dates you may do so at least 31 days (or more) prior to arriving. You may transfer your travel dates up to 2 years in the future (from the original scheduled arrival date) subject to availability of the rented property. If the price of the rented property becomes more expensive based on the new calendar dates you have selected, you would be required to pay all additional costs.

30 days (or less) prior to the scheduled arrival = no change of dates would be permitted.

EXCEPTION: If a newly created government mandated travel restriction were to take effect 30 days (or less) prior to your scheduled arrival please telephone – OR – email us immediately for further instructions. Written documentation from the government (an official government website link) would be required. We may allow a change of dates depending on the unique circumstances of the newly created government mandated travel restriction. FOR EXAMPLE: If all airline flights were forced to be cancelled because of a newly created government restriction and you had absolutely no other means of arriving in Florida (car, train, etc.)..... we may allow a special exception to our 30 day cutoff policy. Please be aware that newly created government restrictions would have to cause a profound interruption to your ability to travel to Florida. Pre-existing travel restrictions that were in effect at the time you originally created the reservation would not apply.

COVID-19 + INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL:

International travel to the United States of America resumed on November 8, 2021. If you are an international traveler and if you had a reservation that was canceled as a direct result of the international travel ban associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, any money held with us (on file) may be utilized towards the creation of a new reservation as long as that new reservation was created no later than November 9, of the year 2023 (two years after the international borders reopened).

Hotels can be good for some clients. For the same costs (and many times for less) you can have your own vacation home with private swimming pool. We also feature condominiums / apartments in resort type settings.

We offer the closest vacation homes to the Walt Disney World® Resort.

Our family owned business began in 1981 and today we manage 200+ vacation homes, many within 10 miles of the Walt Disney World® Resort.

We can offer you a level of expertise and personalized service that can not be matched in the Walt Disney World® Resort / Orlando area.

Vacation Homes are governed by the State of Florida’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants. To determine the amount of persons allowed in each home use this formula:

2 Persons Per Bedroom

THEREFORE:

2 Bedroom Home = Sleeps up to 4 Persons
3 Bedroom Home = Sleeps up to 6 Persons
4 Bedroom Home = Sleeps up to 8 Persons
5 Bedroom Home = Sleeps up to 10 Persons
6 Bedroom Home = Sleeps up to 12 Persons
7 Bedroom Home = Sleeps up to 14 Persons

Florida law defines a "short term vacation home" as a property that rents for less than 3 months. Anything longer is considered to be long term and is governed by a different series of laws.

Alexander Holiday Homes does not feature long term rentals.

Customer service is our highest priority. We feel that having you call us or email us with a selection of homes is the best way to get exactly what you want. We will then be able to assist you with completing your reservation.

There are several methods you can use. We actually prefer that you call us in Florida for the most personalized service.

The other option is to fill in our secure online reservations form: CLICK HERE

1. Go to our HOME TOURS Section



2. Decide what Size Home you wish to Book
   (2, 3, 4 Bedrooms etc.)



3. Select the Type of Home (Condominium or House).
   
   Condominium = Shared / Resort pools with lower rates
   House = A private house that features it's own individual swimming pool
    
4. Call us or Email us. Select ad least 2-3 homes from our website (not every home may be available).

If you book directly with Alexander Homes we guarantee that you will stay in your selected home tour pending unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. Examples of this might be fire, broken air conditioning / heating, flood damage, etc. For your safety and security we would inform you of the these circumstances prior to arrival and assist you with making a different home selection.

TOUR OPERATOR RESERVATIONS:
Clients who make the choice of booking through a tour operator MAY NOT select vacation homes from our website under any circumstances.

Our vacation homes are less than 16 miles / 25 KM from the Walt Disney World® Resort. Each home tour features maps that will show the exact location of each neighborhood. You can find these maps at the top of every individual home tour as well on the home tours list.

We do not send the address (or other arrival instructions) until 48 hours prior to arriving. These arrival instructions will be tranmitted by email. This is to protect the safety and security of other guests who may already be residing in the same home. PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE: Part of making a reservation with Alexander Holiday Homes requires an online check-in process to be completed. Specific rental addresses (and other arrival information) would not be provided until the online check-in process is completed. Therefore we strongly encourage all our guests to complete the online check-in process well in advance of the 48 hour time frame thereby allowing the arrival instructions to be transmitted without any glitch.

Having the luxury of a spa or a Jacuzzi hot tub are both popular options but there is a difference:

 

SPA: attached to the swimming pool and heated to the same temperature as the swimming pool.

 

JACUZZI HOT TUB: these are detached from the swimming pool and can be heated independently as hot as you like.

Not always. We have North-Facing Pools that may have more sunshine than some South-Facing Pools. It is not so much the exposure of the pool as it is the size of the sun deck! When selecting a home from our website, it is important to consider the size of the pool deck.

PLease read QUESTIONS 1, 2 and 14 under the section called MAKING A RESERVATION, for more information how arrival instructions are trasmitted. On the day of arrival each guest would proceed directly to the front door of the rented property. Each guest would enter the property using the arrival isntructions that would have already been transmitted to them by email. Most properties feature electronic door locks and the arrival instructions that we transmit would include all necessary codes to access the property. On the final morning guests would ensure that all doors and windows are locked and secure. They would then exit the premises and proceed to their next destination.

Please consult with us prior to making a reservation if you are planning to travel with an electric vehicle, to discuss the various charging options. If you are traveling with an electric vehicle we allow level-1 charging at most of our rental properties for a supplemental fee of $250 American dollars per week.
