General

Elite Vacation Homes is a Vacation Rental Company offering Property Management Services and Real Estate Sales specializing in short-term vacation rentals in the Disney/Orlando area. We offer superior vacation rental homes as an alternative accommodation to other basic hotel accommodations.

What is a Vacation Home?

Our Orlando vacation homes are privately-owned investment properties that are fully equipped with a private pool and other amenities for your enjoyment. A vacation home offers privacy and luxury amenities unlike a single hotel room.

Unlike hotel rooms, vacation homes are self-catering. They are cleaned prior to your arrival and then upon your departure. You are responsible for maintaining the vacation home during your stay, and there is no daily maid service or fresh towels provided. All homes are equipped with a full kitchen with pots, pans, dishes and washer and dryer.

Our vacation homes are located about 15-20 minutes from the magic of Walt Disney World® Resort. Also, nearby by you'll experience endless adventures at Universal Orlando Resort, an aquatic wonderland at SeaWorld® Orlando, and much more family fun at LEGOLAND® Florida Resort. All Orlando Theme Parks have fresh safety and sanitization measures to help protect you and your family. Our vacation homes and resort townhomes are also conveniently located close to popular shopping, restaurants, and golf.

All our Orlando vacation rental homes are about 10-20 minutes from the Walt Disney World® Resort including all Disney Parks; Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Two Disney Water Parks; Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon.

Vacation Homes are perfect for family vacations. Our homes are much larger than cramped hotel rooms and have all the essentials of home, and extra space for everyone, right at your fingertips. Our Orlando Vacation Homes offer private pools and fully equipped kitchens.

Our private pool homes range from 3 to 7-bedrooms. Additionally, we also offer a limited number of 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom condos and townhomes which offer resort community pools or private splash pools.

To ensure there are no concerns with our homes, such as allergies, we do not accommodate pets. If you are unable to change your travel plans, you may consider local kennels in the area.

Unfortunately, smoking is not permitted in any of our vacation homes. However, smoking is permitted on the outdoor pool patio.

Under normal circumstances, we offer group rates for larger groups. Additionally, we offer communities with multiple homes within walking distance from each other to accommodate larger groups. We also regularly work with sports teams competing in the Orlando area. However, due to COVID-19, at this time, Elite Vacation Homes may not be used for events or group gatherings that exceed maximum occupancy. Only guests whose names are on the reservation are authorized to stay in the home. Any guest having events or group gatherings in the home or exceeding the numbers of authorized guests will be immediately evicted without refund.

You must be at least 25 years of age with a major credit/debit card in your name.
