VillaDirect Increases Value of Canadian Dollar for Travelers Staying at Orlando-Area Vacation Homes

Kissimmee, Fla. (Vocus) August 27, 2007 -- Canadians planning a visit to Orlando will find their money goes a lot further thanks to a new special from VillaDirect Vacation Homes (www.VillaDirect.com), Central Florida?s largest vacation home rental company.

With VillaDirect?s Canadian AT-PAR (www.villadirect.com/canadian.html), families can book a seven-bedroom vacation home with a private swimming pool and save more than $300 on a week-long vacation. This special, exclusive to VillaDirect, locks in the exchange rate at 85 cents USD to $1 CAD and is valid on stays at any of the company?s two- to seven-bedroom homes, town homes or condominiums with a minimum seven-night stay from August 15, 2007 to February 28, 2008. Additional savings are possible since a seven-bedroom home can accommodate up to sixteen people, meaning extended or multiple families can share the same accommodations.

?We are excited about the increase of Canadian families staying with us and wanted to do something especially for them,? said James Flowers, VillaDirect?s vice president of channel operations. ?With our Canadian AT-PAR special, we designed an offer that makes it even easier for families traveling from such a long distance to find the best lodging value along with all the comforts of home.?

Beyond convenient standard amenities, such as a private heated pool with screen-enclosed deck, full-kitchen and complimentary towels and linens, all of VillaDirect?s vacation homes have FREECALL, a service which provides Canadians the ability to call back home or anywhere internationally for free. Plus, many of VillaDirect?s vacation homes also include a games room with foosball, air hockey and pool tables, multiple master bedroom suites with private baths, and themed kids? bedrooms with PlayStation or Xbox game systems. Guests staying within VillaDirect?s resort communities also have access to resort-style amenities, including pools with water slides, fitness centers and playgrounds.

Orlando Florida Real Estate: Awash with Opportunity
The real estate market has went through turbulent times in the past, however no market has ever been as stable as the Orlando Florida real estate market over the past decade. You may ask yourself, why has this been the case? The answer is simple: when a market has a self-sustaining vibrant economy, and is also a particularly sought after tourist location, international money markets can protect the real estate market in times of decline. In other areas of the US when the property market slumps, it slumps. In Orlando, on the other hand, demand among international buyers prop up demand in poor market conditions meaning property prices never decline for long. And as the most popular tourist location in the United States, which has high level...

Real Estate in Texas
Since the time of its inception  first as a settled area and later as an American state  Texas has gone out of its way to buck tradition and stand against the norms. The history of Texas blends Mexican and Native American traditions then heaps a hefty dose of Spanish influence on top. The culture of the area was also affected by the arrival of American settlers pushing south and west in search of space, freedom, and opportunity. This odd conglomeration created the state that once fought for independence and still claims to be like a whole other country.
