An Orlando vacation is unlike any other in the world. After a manic day of exploring Universal Studios or Walt Disney World, you might want to relax and recharge in a more homely environment. Although there are plenty of great hotels to choose from, apartments offer those extra home comforts. Here are a selection of Orlando’s finest.

Vista Cay Resort by Orlando Resorts Rental

Located only five miles from Universal Studios, Vista Cay Resort offers luxury two or three-bedroom apartments within minutes of International Drive’s best attractions. After standing in long theme park queues, be sure to soak your sore feet in the hot tub, sip a cool drink at the shady pool bar or snuggle in for a film at the on-site movie theater, only steps away from your apartment.

Grand Beach by Diamond Resorts

If you love outdoor fun with a side of serenity, then you’ll love staying at Grand Beach’s lakefront apartments. From tennis courts and mini-golf courses to a playground and on-water activities, you’ll be so busy at the resort that it’ll feel like a separate vacation. We recommend going for a leisurely canoe ride on the lake or taking a yoga class to unwind after a day of roller coaster riding.

Lucaya Village Resort

Orlando has long been a top tourist destination but you shouldn’t settle for the hotels of yesterday during your stay. The exclusive two-story townhouses at Lucaya Village Resort will spoil your family thanks to the luxurious amenities, which include a heated outdoor pool, lakeside trail hikes and optional car hire. Spend your days at the world’s premier theme parks before kicking back in a beautifully designed house that feels like your own personal vacation home.
