This spacious three bedroom retreat has a generously sized backyard and pool, both fully fenced for maximum privacy.

Plus, the well-appointed space features a master bedroom with a king bed, a second bedroom with two bunk beds and a sleek dining and living room with ample space for those traveling with a bigger brood. Oh, and the location is just two minutes away from Walmart (in case you forgot to pack something) and a stone’s throw away from Disney, too.

• Sleeps: 16+
• Price: $566/night
• Why We Recommend It: themed rooms, resort amenities, good for large groups

The Magical Muggle Mansion, a palatial home with resort amenities, is paradise for Harry Potter fans. Not a room on the property strays from the wizarding theme and the resulting decor is truly enchanting. (Seriously, it’s like you’re actually stepping into the book.) The interior design is reason enough to stay here, but there’s also a home movie theater and private pool, as well as shared access to the resort’s waterpark, arcade room, mini golf course and more. In other words, this place nails the design and delivers the entertainment so well that you might not even need to go to Universal Studios for an immersive Harry Potter experience, though if you choose to, you’ll be very close.

• Sleeps: 5
• Price: $156/night

Best of all, there’s a travel crib, high chair and children’s dinnerware available for guests who are traveling with small children, which means you might be able to travel light for a change.

The interior has a massive living room with tons of empty floor space for kids to run around, too, and the plush, oversized bedrooms have room darkening shades so you don’t have to worry about being woken up at the crack of dawn. Better still, this prime piece of real estate is located just two minutes away from Universal Studios, so you can easily take a midday break from the theme park experience when the kids are tuckered out.

The kitchen has modern appliances, granite countertops and a charming breakfast nook; the bedrooms and common areas are large, comfortable and luxuriously furnished. Plus, families will be delighted by the baby gear available, including a travel crib, high chair and stroller (because you know you’re going to need one at Disney and no one wants to schlep that thing through the airport).

If you’re looking for a farm stay experience that’s beautiful, tranquil and removed from the urban hubbub, Sweet Heat Farms is for you. While the property is only a 45-minute drive to the theme parks and 20 minutes from the airport, it feels like a whole different world. The apartment is stocked with toys and games, and the lush, sprawling grounds are perfectly quiet except for the occasional sounds from other guests (think: chickens and ducks). Plus, rave reviews report that the hosts are lovely and the overall experience is one of the best you can find. (“Great location, great apartment, great host! Hands down the best airbnb experience I have ever had!” writes one reviewer.) Best of all, there’s enough outdoor space for kids to explore and burn off energy without disturbing any neighbors. The only catch is that you’ll have to share a room with them—the studio set-up, though very spacious, means that the king bed is in the same room as the two single beds—so the only time you won’t have a ton of privacy is at night.
