Lodging Near OCCC

If you are visiting the Orlando area with the purpose of attending a convention or if you are a company who is exhibiting at the Orange County Convention Center, it will not be a surprise that staying in a vacation rental is no doubt a more budget friendly solution to lodging accommodations than staying in a nearby hotel on International Drive.

For larger groups we suggest you contact Discount Vacation Rentals Online directly and let us figure out the best options for your party. You can start of course by having a glance at the different Orlando rental communities and the homes that are represented in each community. For a short description on all communities and where to find what exactly on the DVRO web site, we suggest a run through the Table Of Contents which will guide you fast through the site with this site map. Each community there will be listed with the type of vacation rentals you can find within that specific community. Some communities are town homes only, or have just condos, many only have private pool homes in there. A few communities such as Emerald Island, Terra Verde, Windsor Hills and Windsor Palms have a mix of condos, town homes and pool homes all in one community, if that were important to you.
