What area in Orlando would you like to stay in?
Deciding where to stay in Orlando largely depends on which attractions you want to visit and the kinds of amenities you need. Visitors who don’t drive or rent a car may also want to consider the ease of getting around with public transportation.
Staying downtown in Orlando places visitors right in the middle of all the city has to offer, including concerts, museums, nightlife, and great dining options. However, it may not be the best choice for travelers seeking a peaceful escape with plenty of parking available.
LIVING in a suburban town southwest of the city, like Kissimmee or Saint Cloud, provides more space and a quieter environment while still being a shorter drive from Disney World (which is so large it has its own zip code), Universal Studios, and SeaWorld.
Rentals north of the city place guests near the area’s colleges and universities as well as outside activities such as Blue Springs. Accommodations to the east of the city reduce the drive time to Atlantic Ocean beaches like Cocoa Beach.
What are the key factors to consider when selecting an Orlando Airbnb?
When traveling to a location outside, it’s a good idea for groups to filter their Airbnb options based on the number of people in the group and what amenities they require. Couples may enjoy staying in tiny homes with an intimate experience, such as a treehouse or a lakeside home, while families or larger groups will often seek out a spacious house with multiple bedrooms and more than one bathroom.
Pools are a top choice for escaping the sweltering heat of the Sunshine State and are often high on the bucket list. In the Orlando area, numerous lakes are also available to explore, but visitors should keep in mind that they assume all lakes are not safe for swimming unless specifically noted due to the presence of wildlife, such as alligators. For the same reason, guests should look for vacation rentals with enclosed pool areas.
Among the factors to consider is whether you’ll want a full kitchen. Some travelers are comfortable with a small kitchenette that can store refreshments and allow for a quick breakfast before discovering the local dining scene. Others will require a larger kitchen to prepare full meals.
The way you arrive at your Airbnb is also important. If you’re driving or renting a car, remember to pick a place that has sufficient parking spots available. If you prefer to use public transportation, look for an Airbnb that’s easily accessible and has quick rideshare service options like Uber or Lyft nearby.
When choosing an Airbnb, look for properties that have many positive reviews from previous guests. Carefully consider the amenities, cancellation policy, and past guest feedback. The “Superhost” badge, which implies a responsive host, and the “Guest Favorite” badge, which indicates a high rating, are good indicators to look for.
What are Airbnb’s rules about canceling a reservation?
Before making a booking with Airbnb, each host’s cancellation policy must be checked. This can impact whether your cancellation is allowed and the type of refund, if any, you may be eligible for. If you suspect that you may need to cancel your booking, you may want to consider purchasing travel insurance to see if it can provide any assistance.
To qualify, however, the booking has to meet the policy’s requirements for a Major Disruptive Event, such as a government order to stay at home or a sudden and widespread loss of utilities.
What are Airbnb’s Most Popular Listings?
Airbnb’s new “Guest Favorite” badge showcases stays that have earned high praise from users in terms of ratings, reviews, and reliability. More specifically, it identifies especially well-liked listings by considering a few key factors:
- “Overall ratings and customer feedback in reviews”
- Category ratings for check-in experience, cleanliness of the space, accuracy of the listing in comparison to reality, effectiveness of communication from the host, the property’s geographical location, and overall value for the price paid
- Host cancellation rates
- * Neighborhood noise was excessive
- In the last two years, there have been at least five reviews.
You can now filter your Airbnb search results to only show homes that are a Guest Favorite, making it simpler to find the perfect place to stay.
To find the best Airbnb rentals in Orlando, we carefully considered a wide range of factors to ensure that you have an exceptional home away from home.
- We chose to book entire homes, guest houses, duplexes, apartments, or condos, as recommended by experts. Most travelers are comfortable with shared outdoor areas, but we think it’s best that the Airbnb has its own completely separate indoor living space from the host.
- We looked at Airbnb listings that had a rating of 4.7 or higher, focusing only on those with 50 or more reviews from previous guests.
- We primarily chose listings within Orlando city limits, but we also considered Airbnbs near top attractions like Disney World and others within an hour’s drive that offer unique experiences or amenities not typically found in the city.
- We looked at listings at different price points, with more expensive listings considered only if they offered extra features, a better location, or something that made them stand out over similar, less expensive properties.
-
At the time of publication, these Airbnbs can be booked in the coming months. Still, some listings get booked up fast and may need to be reserved months in advance.
