Is the home I see on the Internet the one I get?
Yes, unlike other companies in the area, we rent the specific property you see in
full detail on our website. We believe that this is the only way you will be happy with your accommodation. However, should
a situation arise were there is an issue within the home that is not safe for a guest, such as the AC unit breaks down during
our summer heat when temperatures exceed the 100 degree mark, we will provide you with a home that is comparable to the home
you are renting or one of greater value. You, as our customer, are our first priority and we will always strive to provide
you with a great guest experience!!
Is this a time share offer?
We are not in anyway affiliated with time share. The homes and condos are owned by individual
investors and we manage them on their behalf. You are not in any way required to sit through a presentation. However, if you
are interested in this great investment opportunity, we would be happy to sit down with you, and discuss it further.
Is Southern Select Villas licensed by the state of Florida?
Yes, we are licensed by the State of Florida (DBPR) as well as Osceola, Polk, Lake & Orange counties as a lodging
provider. All of our homes carry the required licensing as well.
What is required
to make a reservation?
When you find the vacation villa of your choice you can either send
us an email through our contact us page with the information on the villas you desire or speak to one of our Reservationists at our toll free number 1-877-301-3564.
