There are several things you can choose when considering where to stay during your Orlando vacation: you can stay at a friend’s or relative’s place (provided you have one there), you can book in on a hotel (which is the normal route), or you can check in on one of those theme park hotels and resorts. There is, however, another option, one that will most likely be better especially if you’re traveling with your whole family. You can try vacation rentals.

Vacation rental involves you renting a whole house instead of a room for the duration of your stay in Orlando.

There are several upsides to this. One, you will save more money in the long run, especially if you’re planning to stay for more than a couple of weeks since hotel stays are usually charged per day while a vacation rental is already in one package regardless of days. Second, you will have a more personal and home-y vacation since you are allowed to cook your own food and laze around the house anytime you want, just like your own home. Third, you will have more rooms (depending on the house) than if you’ll just book at a hotel, potentially saving you money.

Both points two and three are especially useful if you have a large family in tow since size is essentially taken out of the question.

Beachside rentals are popular, so if that’s what you want, you will have to book well ahead of time. Of course, if you do plan on renting, you will probably need to have or rent a car so you can be slightly more flexible.

Vacation rentals are one of the ways to make your vacation in Orlando that much more personal. The problem of a lack of shuttle transportation (which is usually one of the perks of hotel bookings) is generally offset by the rental of a car. If you’re eyeing for a more private and home-y feel to your vacations, then vacation rental is definitely the way to go.
