Orlando is home to more than a dozen theme parks. Most famous is, of course, Walt Disney World Resort with parks including Epcot and the Magic Kingdom as well as the water parks. There's also Universal Orlando, with Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. And, let's not forget SeaWorld Orlando, Fun Spot America and even Gatorland to name just a few.
Away from the parks there is world-class shopping, relaxing resorts and fantastic dining experiences. While the sheer number of things to do in Orlando can be bewildering, the huge choice of houses can also make it daunting to pick your dream vacation home.
That's why the experts at 5 Star Villa Holidays have done the hard work for you by selecting the very best houses for rent in Orlando. After a hard - but fun - day at the parks you'll want a perfect home from home to return to. But which park will you visit first? And which home will you choose? Take a look below at our expert guide to the best theme parks and luxury villas in Orlando:
