Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival 2007
If you are visiting Orlando, Florida in March for Spring break, and you are going to be here during the weekend of the 16, 17 or 18th March - be sure to take the time to drive over to Winter Park for the annual Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival.
This annual event is must see for any family staying in a vacation home in Orlando from villadirect.com - and has something for everyone. The show is one of Florida's longest established, and has literally hundreds of exhibits of art and crafts for sale. There are games, concerts, and things for everyone to enjoy all day long. Set in the Park alongside the main street (which is called Park Street in Winter Park!) - be sure to bring along comfortable footwear, as you will be sure to want to see all of the exhibits and stalls - and it's quite a walk in the Spring-time warmth.

Following their stay in July 2008, Storr Family from Bahamas commented:-
Thank you VillaDirect for a beautiful, wonderful, and unforgettable, vacation from the Bahamas ( Storr Family Vacation), this was our first trip to Orlando, we have always visited FT-Lauderdale and stayed in hotels that (we) were never really pleased with, after many bad encounters with hotel rentals we decided to check out some vacation homes, one of the companies we came across over the internet was VillaDirect after checking out some of the reviews and satisfied customers we got very excited about it and decided to give VillaDirect a call ,the staff were very helpful over the phone and provided us with the final arrangements and details. As I said earlier this was our first trip to Orlando and this would be a new venture for the whole family, we began to study the web maps of Orlando and check out some of the major attraction and shopping areas and highway information. VillaDirect placed us in a very nice area in davenport called Legacy Park where we were surrounded by beautiful homes and other vacationers just like ourselves I was exceptionally please with the accommodations and services that VillaDirect provided please note that I will recommend VILLADIRECT to all my friends and family and will be back. My family says it was unforgettable and awesome they want to do VillaDirect again very soon. Thanks you to all the Staff and Management of VillaDirect from the Storr Family for making our vacation beautiful and unforgettable. Special thanks to Corey Rasdall, Rebecca Perez & Ron Patterson .
