Villas, apartments, townhouses, condos, chalets and cabins are all available for you to rent. Renting allows you to have a lot more space than a regular hotel room. This gives you the comfort of being able to walk around and even cook if you'd like. It also works out cheaper than staying in a hotel; this is especially good if you plan on spending more than a few nights in Orlando.

Also, if you have a larger family or a bigger group of people staying with you, it saves you the cost of booking extra rooms. You can get places with 3 rooms generally up to 7 rooms.

In the long run, renting a house is also cheaper, especially if you're staying for more than a couple of weeks or so. Lastly, a house has more rooms than a hotel, especially useful if you have a large family.

Beachside rentals are popular, so if that's what you want, you will have to book well ahead of time. Of course, if you do plan on renting, you will probably need to have or rent a car so you can be slightly more flexible.

The joy of spending a more personal time with your family far outweighs any small downsides of getting your own temporary vacation home.
