What can you expect to pay for a rental home in Orlando? Cheap villas in Orlando Florida are available, but one must be an educated consumer.

We did a quick sample of daily and weekly rates for premium vacation rentals for non-peak periods in 2010-2011. This was designed to help spot bargains on Orlando vacation homes during this time period.

The estimated ranges are from posted rates on reputable management company websites. Moreover, we have only included rates on vacation homes located in our top rated Four or Five Star rated communities.

The ranges are only used as a general rule of thumb and to provide rough estimates only for reference. Keep in mind that fees and deposits for Orlando vacation home rentals vary as well. If you have a specific vacation home community or date in mind, call a professional company to discuss quotes. Rates will vary and are quite dynamic.

The following average mid-point ranges were derived for the various sizes of vacation home rental accommodations with a private pool in non-peak periods:

3 bedroom/2 bath – $150 to $175 nightly rates/$1050 to $1225 weekly rates
4 bedroom/3 bath – $280 to $300 nightly rates/$1960 to $2100 weekly rates
5 bedroom/4 bath – $325 to $350 nightly rates/$2275 to $2450 weekly rates

Once again, these are “typical” posted current average rates from management company websites in top rated communities with the listed attributes. All sample rates included rentals with private pools.

Always consult each reservation listing for specific amenities on the rental you are interested in. Amenity choices can also include wireless internet, game rooms, home theatres and more. Rates on homes in good communities without private pools can dip considerably. The choice of amenity and rate options as a consumer is fully in your hands.

We also consulted several “rental by owner” websites and the rates varied widely. Due to the fact that cleaning and maintenance standards vary significantly from owner to owner, we always recommend renting from a good professional management company to ensure quality. Professional management companies may also run specials and discounts on Orlando vacation rentals, so check back with their websites.

Moreover, always double check the attributes of any vacation rental listing before making a reservation.
