Charming Lakefront Cottage Near Disney

AvaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I had a wonderful stay here with my boyfriend. It’s a bit secluded which I saw some people complain about in reviews but what they fail to mention is that the hosts’ house is is around 200 feet away and there’s a second airbnb directly next to this one. It’s along a dirt road, yes, but there are still other people in the area. The lake and land are beautiful and there are some chairs and a table on the porch of the cottage where you can sit and enjoy the sunrise. Check in was easy, quick, and required no face-to-face social interaction (something I enjoy not needing to do). The AC works well and is quick to respond to your inputs. The bed is comfortable and there is a very roomy closet that you can keep your luggage in. You can walk straight to the watersports complex right out the door of the cottage. This stay was extremely affordable and I am so lucky that I found it and was able to snag a few nights! I enjoyed my stay so much, and so did my boyfriend. Highly recommend!

King Bed Small Studio Disney World Universal

EvanRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Laura’s place was very accommodating to our week trip to Disney World! Close to all of the parks as well as all sorts of restaurants and convenience stores surrounding! Cool AC, a hot shower and a cozy bed—hard to beat after a HOT day at any of the parks! Very responsive to messages and suggested lots of great recommendations! Definitely a “bang for your buck” at Laura’s place! Looking forward to referring all of our friends and planning our next trip soon! Thanks again, Laura and staff! 🙂

Mickey's Retreat(K2)

JackRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Stayed at Celso’s apartment for 2-weeks. It was a great size for 2 people and an ideal location for those looking to do the Disney and Universal parks. Apartment is just a short drive away from plenty of shops, restaurants and fast food places. It also has a 24h petrol (gas) station just outside of the complex which is really convenient. Overall, really enjoyed our stay the complex is really nice and feels very welcoming. Would highly recommend for two people. Celso was a great host, super responsive to any messages and helpful with any questions we had during our stay. One minor downside, not to the fault of Celso or his apartment, but the complex had a nesting hawk during our stay. This was no issue for 95% of our stay, but did swoop at us once. Would advise being cautious when walking to the car park, especially with young children.

VerandaPalms/HeatedPool/Carpet free/NearDisney

YessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house was incredibly clean and very spacious. I appreciated that someone came regularly to clean the pool—especially since I’m very clean and a bit of a germophobe! The host was also very responsive, which I truly appreciated. We had a small issue with the HOA, and I’m grateful the host was on top of it and supportive throughout. I felt safe at all times in the gated community, and my kids really enjoyed the pool.

This oasis is the perfect getaway! I don’t even know where to begin with all the great things so I’ll just list them: - Convenient to everything: walking distance to margaritaville pools, and shops at sunset walk and a quick 7min drive to Disney World parks. - Perfect space!

Near Disney Fun: Golf Retreat, Pool & Private Spa

JessicaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Kimberly was a delightful host. She was very responsive when we had any questions. Her home felt very cozy and comfortable. She made it so easy to check in and accommodating. My family and I went to Disney for 4 days and it felt nice to be away from the traffic and it was easy to get to the parks. The kids loved having a pool to themselves to enjoy after a long day at the parks. There is also a grocery store, Starbucks and plenty of places to eat nearby, which made things very convenient for my family. I would definitely rebook Kimberly’s home again in the future and highly recommend if you are looking for a home away from home.

Lakeside Paradise, 15 Min to Disney + Private Pool

Mary JaneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house was lovely. In a great neighborhood. Clean and fully stocked with games and things to do for the kids. Enough beds for every “body”. All kids had their choice of beds! Even the baby! it was awesome to have crib and small stroller. I wish I would have known about the access to stroller. We could have saved space in the SUV and not brought ours. 😉 Sarah was very responsive to any questions that I had. I would stay there again and plan more time “at home” so the kids could enjoy time in the pool.

Pet Friendly Pool Home Very Close to Disney!

StuartRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We regularly stay at the Encantado resort, and our stay at Steven's place was by far the longest Airbnb we've ever done. Steven made sure our stay was super comfortable the moment we arrived, and the property had everything we needed and more. The beds were super comfy and ideal after lots of walking, driving, or just relaxing at home. Amenities were a plenty, and laundry was a blessing alongside a regularly cleaned private pool. We definitely utilized the fully stocked kitchen for cooking at home too. Only downside is the main larger pool area of the complex was under construction, but this doesn't take away from how amazing Steven's place is. Will definitely be back.

Your guide to Bay Lake

Welcome to Bay Lake

If you want a full immersion in the magic of Disney, you might as well set up camp in Bay Lake, one of two towns owned by Walt Disney World. A base here will put you within a mouse’s scamper of not only Walt Disney World but also SeaWorld, Universal Studios Florida, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom.

In addition to the famous parks, Bay Lake also contains plentiful outdoor adventures and family-oriented activities, including two water parks, six golf courses, a sports complex, and an auto racetrack, along with shops, restaurants, and entertainment options galore. It boggles the mind to imagine the place in the 1960s, when Walt Disney bought up 27,400 acres of what was then swamps, fields, and woodlands. Although Disney died a year later, his vision for a veritable city dedicated to happiness was brought to life.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Bay Lake

When to visit is a million-dollar question. Summers are brutally hot and humid and rain is common, all of which tends to result in fewer visitors. Thanks to milder weather, fall and spring are of course more popular and therefore draw the big crowds. The special events season begins here at the end of August, further swelling the number of visitors, particularly at Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Temperatures and crowds cool off in wintertime, making it a lovely season to stay in a cottage here, with the exception of the holidays. Any holiday week is going to be slammed, especially Spring Break and Christmas.


Top things to do in Bay Lake

Magic Kingdom

The most iconic of Disney’s parks, the Magic Kingdom is best known for its nighttime fireworks and light show over the Cinderella Castle, along with an emphasis on princesses, pirates, and other such lore.

Epcot

The most low-key of the parks with some of the best food and shopping, Epcot is an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. It’s divided into Future World, which offers rides and interactive exhibits, and World Showcase, a sampling of delicious foods, shops, and shows from 11 countries.

Hollywood Studios

Channeling the heyday of Hollywood, this theme park is all about the adrenalin. There are haunted elevators, rock ’n’ roll themed roller coasters, and lively stunt shows that’ll have you on the edge of your seat.
