It's no wonder Orlando is the most visited destination in the USA. With some of the world's best theme parks, great weather year-round and seemingly infinite activities for all ages, families flock to this small city in central Florida from all corners of the globe.
Choosing the right accommodation for your stay in the Sunshine State will turn your family trip into the vacation of a lifetime, and with Top Villas, you can expect pure magic.
Offering a huge range of high-end vacation rentals in Orlando and beyond, Top Villas has accommodation for every family. From private swimming pools, to themed rooms and impressive games rooms, each accommodation has all the amenities you'd expect, and then some.
If you can bear to leave your incredible villa during your Florida vacation, you'll realize that every square mile of the Orlando area is packed with fantastic things to do with your family.
There are four awe-inspiring theme parks that make up Walt Disney World, plus two exciting water parks. Each park is drastically different but all offer an unparalleled immersive element — go wild at Animal Kingdom, journey around the world at EPCOT, head behind the scenes at Hollywood Studios and live happily ever after at Magic Kingdom.
If you want to spend more time in the Disney area you can visit Disney Springs, home to a range of renowned restaurants, lively entertainment and shops to browse. There are tons more shopping opportunities nearby too, with numerous outlet malls where you can shop more for less, including Orlando Premium Outlets.
Along with the world-famous Disney parks, you'll find even more incredible theme parks and water parks in the area. Why not make a splash at Volcano Bay water park, or head to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, which are not only the ultimate theme parks for young kids and thrill-seekers alike, but also the shared home of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Slightly further afield, you and your aspiring astronauts will find the Kennedy Space Center about an hour's drive away, or for a relaxing day in the Florida sun, the stunning sands of Daytona Beach are approximately an hour and a half away by car. In terms of general accessibility, Orlando International Airport isn't far from any of the attractions, which means you can fly in from far and wide without having to worry about a long drive to your vacation rental when you arrive.
Whether you want to head to downtown Orlando for a trip on the Orlando Eye, enjoy a day out on one of Florida's many golf courses, or get up close to alligators in the wild on an airboat ride, there are so many Orlando attractions to choose from that you'll end your Florida vacation feeling like you barely made a dent — which is all the more reason to come back.
If you've got any Star Wars fans in the family, this Florida vacation rental is nothing short of epic. The spacious six-bedroom villa is great for parties of up to 14 guests, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and make the most of the amenities. The fun doesn't stop; along with its games room, private pool and outdoor dining area, it also has themed rooms to choose from.
The pièce de résistance is definitely its space room, themed to absolute perfection. With its droid-adorned walls, spaceship-style bed and enclosed slide from the top bunk, it will transport you to another galaxy.
Not a galaxy that's too far away though — it's near Disney World, giving you and your mini Jedis easy access to Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Plenty of Orlando vacation home rentals have a themed room or two, but this villa in the popular Reunion Resort has more themed rooms than you could dream of.
Bring the magic home after a trip to the parks and immerse yourselves in a whole new world with the Aladdin-themed room, which has two bunk beds shaped like a sultan's palace, complete with gold domed turrets, and colorful walls painted like the sky as the sun sets. Older kids may prefer the superhero-themed room, which is centered around a futuristic-looking bunk bed shaped to mimic the heroes' HQ and has walls adorned with your favorite superhero's merchandise.
Head to the toy-themed room, complete with climbing bars, slide and doll-house-style play area, all designed with warped proportions to make your child feel like they're the same size as the toys. If you're more in the mood for a video game, check out the comics-themed games room, which has retro arcade games, a basketball shooting game and neon lights galore.
This huge Orlando vacation rental sleeps 24 guests overall, with nine bedrooms in total. Its private pool, close proximity to Walt Disney World and endless entertainment make it the perfect stay for large parties.
This Florida vacation rental sleeps up to 17 people in its seven bedrooms, including two campsite-themed children's rooms with a karaoke machine.
Most vacation rentals have a private pool, but this one feels deluxe. Flanked by palm trees and comfortable wooden sun loungers, this villa's private infinity pool and hot tub are perfect for cooling down during warm Florida days. Make use of the outdoor kitchen with BBQ and fire pit and enjoy some outdoor dining.
Inside, there's a cool frost-themed games room, with arcade games, air hockey and even a slide. If you want to watch a movie, take a seat at the beach-themed home theater. Work up a sweat at the home gym or basketball court.
Take a trip to a world-famous school for wizards with this stunning villa in the Reunion Resort. This spacious home comfortably sleeps 19, and with its numerous amenities and themed bedrooms, it's bound to be a perfect fit for anyone.
The castle-inspired room sleeps four, with two wooden bunk beds lined with elegant red velvet curtains and accents of gold — just like your favorite wizard's in his boarding school bedroom. Take a moment to relax in the comfy red armchairs, browse the spellbooks and step through a secret doorway onto a train platform to transport yourself to a secret room filled with the most magical thing of all: a karaoke stage.
You won't have to travel far for even more magic-inspired fun, with Universal Orlando Resort and its Wizarding World of Harry Potter only about a half-hour drive away, and Disney World even closer.
This deluxe Orlando vacation rental has everything you could possibly need and more. With nine en-suite bedrooms and even more bathrooms, it comfortably accommodates up to 22 guests within its sleekly-designed walls.
Along with the standard amenities you'd expect, like a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable living areas, there are some extra-special features that turn it from great to state-of-the-art.
Spend some time on the large garden terrace and take a dip in the elegant pool, or head inside on a hot day to enjoy the indoor facilities.
The indoor gym and sports courts are a great place to get your heart pumping, or if you want a more relaxing way to work up a sweat, enjoy the in-villa sauna and steam room.
Relax in the spacious home theater, or head to the ultra-modern games room and experience the very best of Orlando vacation home rentals. Play a few games of pool or air hockey, compete against each other in the many arcade games, or bring a team together to play a game of bowling using one the villa's two full-sized bowling lanes.
The Encore Resort at Reunion is one of the Orlando area's most popular areas for visitors due to its great location and amenities. At less than 10 minutes from Walt Disney World and only a short drive from Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, Encore is the perfect spot for easy access to the parks.
This five-bedroom Orlando vacation rental sleeps up to 10 guests and is fully equipped with everything a group could need. Spend some time outside and make the most of its private pool and spillover tub, or enjoy a meal al fresco on the veranda. When the central Florida sun gets too much, take a break inside the fully air-conditioned home and utilize some of the many indoor facilities available.
Why not pass some time in the game room, which is superhero-themed and contains all the amenities you'd need for an epic tournament. Characters from your favorite comics and movies keep an eye on you while you play games against each other, from air hockey and foosball to ping pong and old-school cornhole.
Head to the ultra-popular Reunion Resort for a vacation rental to beat all vacation rentals. This seven-bedroom villa sleeps 18 guests in a variety of elegantly decorated bedrooms for adults and themed rooms for kids.
The kid-friendly themed rooms include a bedroom decorated like a pirate ship, one room that's themed to look like a mysterious jungle world, and another that's entirely pink! For more indoor fun, watch a movie on the home theater's large projector screen, play in the fully stocked game room and set up a tournament or play a game or two of basketball on the indoor court.
Spend time outside on the terrace in the pool shaped to look like the iconic mouse head and ears, or sunbathe on the comfortable loungers surrounding it.
“Top Villas offers an incredible range of good-value luxury villas all over the world. My family was lucky enough to stay in a beautiful 5-bedroom villa in Orlando’s Reunion Resort and it checked off every requirement we had, and offered us so much more besides I was so impressed with how well equipped our villa was, how ideal its location was, and how seamless the entire stay was; from booking, to closing the villa front door and flying back home.”*
