Ahh, Orlando, Florida. If you’re going to this part of the Sunshine State, we have a pretty good feeling you’re headed to the ever-so-magical Disney World resort. While the Happiest Place on Earth has its share of great places to stay, they can get pretty pricey—and if you’re traveling with a large group or with pets, you may want something where everyone can gather in one place. Airbnbs are ideal for that, since you can rent out an entire home, but sifting through the 1,000+ listings—especially given the sheer size of the city (it spans 110 square miles)—can be enough to make you consider canceling your plans. That’s where we come in. We’ve done the research for you and are here to share our picks for 16 of the best Airbnbs near Disney World to book for your next vacay.
While scouring the available options, I took into account all my top priorities when taking this type of vacation—namely, is the property set up well to accommodate children? (I recently visited Universal Studios with my own two kids and can tell you that there’s nothing more frustrating than hearing ‘I’m bored’ within minutes of returning to your temporary home after a long day spent traipsing around a theme park and standing in line under the sweltering sun.) As such, the listings below feature a lot of very appealing amenities, including swimming pools, game rooms, movie theaters and more. In fact, these vacation rentals are so luxe that they could compete with Disney World for the title of ‘Happiest Place on Earth.’
