Rent a house in Orlando may be the best option for families looking for comfort. Understand how this can be done.

We at Partiu Disney Parks have already talked about the many options for Disney and Orlando accommodationo, like the hotels within the complex.

However, there are still several other alternatives for tourists, such as houses for rent.

The houses are especially advantageous for large groups of travelers, families with children and also for the elderly.

This is because the houses, in addition to being spacious and very comfortable, can be cheaper if the total price is shared by many people.

As American houses are large, they provide much more comfort and fun space for children.

They can take toys with them on trips and still not completely get out of their daily lives, which commonly happens when children spend a lot of time in hotels.

Another advantage is that, as the houses have fully equipped kitchens, families can cook homemade meals, which is a great way to save money and also contributes to maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding fast food.

Another very interesting issue is that renting a house in Orlando, commonly, offers the individual a totally different experience from what he has in Brazil.

Houses for rent offer some luxuries, such as a swimming pool, whirlpool, several rooms, comfortable and spacious beds, among other features.

Therefore, so that you can rent a house in Orlando easily, at a good price and with reliable companies, check out all the tips below.

How to choose a house?

First, to understand how to rent a house in Orlando, you also need to know how to choose it.

The first issue to be aware of when making your choice is the location of the house.

Offering homes for rent in Orlando is prohibited. Therefore, those that are available are further away from Disney and also from supermarkets, shopping malls, outlets, among other places that tourists love to visit.

Commonly, rental homes are located in the greater Orlando area, such as Kissimmee.

So, when renting a house in Orlando, check the location of the condominium in which it is located and also how far it is from the Disney parks, supermarkets, among other places that you will need to go and that are on your itinerary.

Choosing a home away from commercial establishments can add 20 to 30 minutes every time you need to go shopping for food, toiletries, parks, etc.

And this is a big stumbling block.

Also, another very important factor that tourists should pay a lot of attention to is safety.

Although most homes are in gated communities, there are exceptions. And, many condominiums, even though they are closed, lack security, not having a doorman and other adequate structures, such as cameras.

Therefore, it is recommended that tourists, when interested in a house, ask about condominiums, alarms, security measures, etc.

Another very important issue is regarding cleanliness.

Some rented houses have the option for guests to hire an employee to carry out the organization and cleaning, while others do not have this alternative and leave the guests themselves in charge of this matter.

So, if you don't want to spend your vacation worrying about cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, living room and other common areas, it's important that you choose a house that has this convenience.

In addition, always make sure that the place has all the amenities you need, enough beds for all tourists, enough kitchen utensils and also bed and bath linen.

So, you won't have to worry about all these issues.

Finally, it is important to mention that not all homes in Orlando have free Wi-Fi, and therefore it is important to prioritize this convenience if you do not want to spend on internet chips or data plans.

How much does it cost to rent a home in Orlando?

Many people can feel scared when talking about renting houses in the United States, as they can be intimidated by the price.

However, there is no need to worry, because if the house is occupied by a large group and the amount divided among all, it will probably be cheaper than if they rented hotel rooms.

Orlando has homes for all tastes and needs.

Obviously, the most luxurious houses will have higher prices, since they have more amenities.

However, even the most modest homes will still provide a lot of comfort and space for tenants, at a lower price.

In the website iHome Resort you can find many nice houses, with several bedrooms, bathrooms and relatively close to Disney for around 70 dollars a night. Already on the website Disney Houses, houses with 2 to 6 bedrooms are offered.

Houses with 4 bedrooms cost an average of $138 per night. And, those with 3 bedrooms, which accommodate up to 6 people, can be rented for less than 100 dollars a night.

The average price of a home in Orlando that accommodates 8 to 10 people is $140.

This works out to around $17.50 per person, which is cheaper than a hotel. At current rates, a $140 house costs R$ 575.00 per night.

Still, in addition to the daily price of the house, tourists also sometimes have to pay the administrative fee for the service, which is paid to intermediaries or websites that rent the houses, and also the cleaning fee.

Not all companies charge a cleaning fee, and it is up to the individual renting the house to choose whether to pay this amount or not.

Where to rent a home in Orlando?

When it comes to how and where to rent a home in Orlando, there are several options.

You can rent directly with the owners of the house, with consultants or through websites, such as iHome Resort.

It is recommended to use online platforms to rent, as it is not necessary to communicate in English with the homeowner, which can compromise the conversation if the person concerned is not fluent.

And also, the tenant will have the confidence and security that the operation is safe. Fortunately, renting a vacation home in the United States is much less laborious and complicated than permanent, long-term rental.

Fewer documents are required, which makes the process much easier.

Airbnb

If you want, you can rent a house in Orlando through Airbnb, one of the easiest platforms to use.

You won't need to talk to intermediaries, company officials or anything like that.

On Airbnb, the customer searches for the place he wants in the search bar, chooses the days of the trip, number of guests and can even use some filters.

Renting on Airbnb can be done with just a credit card, quickly. And, if the individual wants, he can contact the owner of the house and arrange a flexible check-in or check-out.

In general, Airbnb gives the traveler more personality when it comes to renting the house, since he will have contact with the owner of the property.

For example, on Airbnb you can find houses from R$ 200.00, which accommodate 5 people or more. Performing a good search on the site, it is possible to find great properties.

Disney Houses

Another very reliable site is Casas na Disney, which has several offers.

As mentioned, this site offers homes with up to 6 bedrooms, which is great for large groups.

Also, house prices are very affordable, if divided.

For example, a luxury home in the Oak Water condominium, with swimming pools, electronic gate, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 suite, full kitchen, air conditioning, heating, Wi-Fi Internet, washing machine, dryer, bed linen, table and bath has a daily rate from 100 dollars.

According to the location provided by the website, this house is just 4 minutes from Disney.

To rent a house in Orlando through the Casas na Disney website, you need to fill out a form, inserting your name, telephone, e-mail, date of arrival and departure, days of accommodation, among other information.

The company will get back to the interested party shortly, informing you of the budget.

A relative advantage of this company is that it has a partnership with a cleaning company, which can help guests with daily cleaning.

There are three types of service, Daily Cleaning, Intermediate Cleaning and Complete Cleaning. This is an additional service, so you will be charged extra for it.

However, it will give more convenience to tourists, since they will not have to worry about organization and cleanliness.

VIP Homes

At VipHomes, another site well known by travelers already used to going to Orlando, it offers complete packages for people who want, in addition to renting a house, also renting a car with insurance, getting tickets to Disney, Universal Studios, Seaworld or travel insurance .

Thus, the daily rate of the chosen house is cheaper for travelers.

For example, a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home at Regal Palms Resort, which sleeps 8 people and 2 children, starts at $112 per night.

This is the value for the Basic plan, which includes service in Portuguese and 24-hour support, quality assurance, free travel itinerary, among other issues.

The Favorito package, in which the house rent starts at US$97 per night, includes the combined purchase of tickets to Disney, Universal, Seaworld and car rental with insurance.

Finally, another option for customers would be the Complete package, which includes the combined purchase of, in addition to tickets and car rental, also the Travel insurance.

We recommend that the tourist only opt for the two packages with extras if he really needs these services and thinks it's worth it.

For example, we know you need to buy park tickets, but do you really want to rent a vehicle?

VipHome offers these combined purchases as these additional services are some of the common needs of tourists, but it is necessary to analyze to verify if the values will really be advantageous.

Blue Travel

At Azul Travel, you can find luxury homes with more amenities. In general, the prices of the houses available on this site are higher.

The minimum value that the traveler will find is 155 dollars in the low season.

In the current conversion, this comes out to around R$ 630.00, which is a high price for a house with just three bedrooms.

As we noticed with all the information given above, it is possible to find bigger houses for a lower price.

But, it is also important to mention that the houses available on the Azul Travel website are luxury, and therefore have the highest price.

The cheapest one on the site, for example, has a full kitchen, new furniture, swimming pool, barbecue area, washer and dryer, double beds in all rooms, a complete dining table, among other features.

Therefore, if you want to rent an incredible luxury home that will provide you with a wonderful stay in Orlando, the Azul Travel website can be the perfect intermediary.

All you have to do is enter the website, fill out the quotation form on the side and wait for the company to contact you.

Orlando Here I Go
