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 to share our picks for 15 of the best Airbnbs near Disney to book for your next vacay.
The Best Airbnbs Near Disney at a Glance
How We Chose the Best Airbnbs Near Disney World
We focused our Airbnb search around Lake Buena Vista (aka Disney’s home) for travelers looking for a range of must-haves, from proximity to the parks, parking on the premises, room count, a pool and other amenities. We also made sure to surf the Airbnb options for experienced hosts, superhosts and highly rated properties to ensure the locations are well taken care of and that there’s a record of positive experiences at each rental.
1. Upscale Loft Space in Orlando, FL
This sleek, modern Aibnb is north of Disney and puts you within minutes of trendy Winter Park or downtown Orlando—while still being less than half an hour from the amusement parks. The property boasts two beds and a fully furnished, modern loft space that is cozily styled for you and your family to end your long day after walking around the parks. It’s located in the Milk District (aka foodie central). Did you see those floor-to-ceiling windows and the open-concept shower?
2. Magic Village Views Kissimmee, FL
When it comes to staying in Airbnbs, we like our properties well-kept and comfy. This space has enough room for six people and has a faux fireplace to cozy up the living space. The ceilings are very tall, and you have access to the community’s amenities like the tennis courts, pool and more. It’s less than 10 minutes from the Disney parks, so if close proximity is your goal, this property is a top pick.
3. Shipping Container Home Orlando, FL
We can’t decide if we’re more enamored with the outdoor haven of this property or the sleek indoor setup. Outside you will find a quaint and cozy sitting area where you can turn on the gas fireplace table or take a dip in the hot tub. Inside, the unique shipping container features two Murphy beds to save space when you get yourselves ready for the day. There’s also a standing shower in the renovated bathroom, along with a cute kitchenette for preparing snacks and meals. It’s located in College Park, close to Winter Park, Downtown Orlando and is a mere 25 minutes from Disney World and other nearby parks.
4. TreeHouse In the Cloud Orlando, FL
If you want to really book an impressive stay, this romantic spot is sure to do the trick. Nestled in the woods among the tree line, this treehouse stay has a sultry ambiance for you and your partner’s weekend getaway. The home is definitely not short of windows and fresh air, thanks to the bedroom’s skylight and a balcony, where you can sip wine and listen to the crickets.
5. Colonialtown Bungalow Orlando, FL
If you really want to wake up and feel like you’re in Florida—especially if you’re there in the winter—look out the front window and see the gorgeous palm trees in the front of the property. You and four friends can settle down in this sweet little stay during your vacation. The two-bedroom home is fairly spacious, with a boho charm, but the real draw is the fenced-in yard. The outside is amply lit with sweet twinkle lights and there’s a pathway that leads to the intimate sitting area around the fire (which you will have to start yourself). The owner notes the home is about 20 to 30 minutes away from the Disney parks, so this is a great spot if you aren’t looking to head to Disney every day during your trip.

Mornings on the screened-in porch are going to be great for coffee and chatting, especially since the enclosed backyard overlooks a small lake.
