Lavonne, we’ve gotten several different houses and townhomes. I’ve found that if you need a larger house (more than 6 bedrooms for a big group) Emerald Island is the best area to search in on VRBO. For townhomes and smaller houses, I like Windsor Hills area. There are lots of other options too, but those are the where we’ve stayed. For Windsor Hills, there’s a website that you can enter info and owners will send you back a quote. I can’t remember the site, but if you google it you should find it. It’s a good way to find a lot of homes for your dates and then you can choose from there. Happy planning!

I love the idea for lots of reasons, but especially for the nutritional aspect. We get to control the good – or bad we put into our meals, not the restaurant.

Did you like the house you chose? We are planning the same trip in December, but haven’t decided about a house or hotel, yet. Maybe you could share which house you chose and I could go investigate it? Thank you!

The easiest way to find dry ice is to Google dry ice City, State Abbreviation This will give you a list of merchants in the area that carry dry ice. I would call ahead. You may want to search your home location and also location you may want to get more dry ice if needed.
I hope that this helps. Noreen
