Navigating the World of Orlando Vacation Rentals

Orlando, Florida is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. Orlando is home of the Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Studios, SeaWorld and many other entertainment venues. Thousands of families worldwide flock to the Central Florida area for their annual vacation.

 

 

One of the best ways to stay in Central Florida is to rent a vacation villa in the middle of it all. The first thing you may notice when you begin looking on the Internet for vacation homes to rent, is that villa rentals in Orlando are often difficult to find. It may sound strange that Orlando, Florida, tourist capital of the world, has no vacation homes for rent, but it's true. Orlando is located in Orange county, Florida, and Orange county is not zoned for short term rentals. But fear not, brave traveler! Surrounding counties have an abundance of luxurious vacation homes for rent in quiet neighborhoods with excellent amenities.

Osceola County and Polk County are the two major locations for Orlando vacation rentals. These two counties offer plenty of wonderful vacation homes for rent in Kissimmee and Davenport. Kissimmee vacation rentals are the closest to all of the central Florida attractions with plenty of shopping and dining options nearby.

Kissimmee vacation villas are especially close to the Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, and other attractions. Vacation rentals near Disney are wonderful for families who will be spending a lot of time in the theme parks, or for families with young children who may prefer to take a break in the middle of the day and return to their Disney vacation villa for lunch or a quick nap.

Vacation rentals in Davenport are slightly further away than vacation homes in Kissimmee but not by much. It may take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to get to Disney by car, but there are some distinct advantages to being a little further away from all the action. Vacation homes in Davenport tend to be newer, larger and quieter ... perfect for a relaxing or romantic getaway.

No matter where your Florida vacation rental is located, you'll find yourself wishing you had a rental car. Make reservations in advance. If you're a non-driver, consider a timeshare rental in Orlando, closer to the attractions.

Overall, vacation rentals in Orlando are far superior to similarly priced hotel or motel accommodations. Once you understand the various options available to you, the decision of which one to choose will be that much easier.
