Orlando Vacation Homes for Rent

Orlando offers 168 golf courses, each presenting an incredible challenge to even the most seasoned golfer. But should you need a refresher course, world-class golf instruction schools await you.

If that’s not enough, take advantage of the area’s best tennis and sports and recreation complexes that provide training and fun. Try horseback-riding along scenic trails, canoeing past manatees and alligators, gliding over the tip of the Everglades on an airboat or taking a sea excursion off one of the east or west coast beaches.

Sports enthusiasts can cheer on the National Basketball Association’s Orlando Magic, catch American football at an Orlando Predators arena football game or sit at one of the many Atlanta Braves spring training baseball games.

Alternatively you can choose the adventurous pursuits of auto racing, hot-air ballooning, scuba diving, waterskiing, cruising on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, flying a glider or vintage aircraft, or even indoor skydiving.

Who say's Orlando only has theme parks!

The words “fun in the sun” truly describe the tropical, resort-like atmosphere at Buena Vista Watersports which is located on Lake Bryan in southeast Orlando.

Here, you can take water-ski or wakeboard lessons at Dave’s Ski School, charter a boat for skiing or wakeboarding, rent a personal watercraft or go on an innertube or “bumper” ride on a private, 450-acre (182-hectare) spring-fed, freshwater lake.

$130 an hour can get you a chartered Ski Nautique speedboat with your own driver as well as all water sports equipment such as skis, wakeboards, kneeboards, innertubes and lifejackets.

Buena Vista Watersports is truly a great day out.

After experiencing thrills and chills at the parks, recharge your battery with a day at the beach, enjoying activities like swimming, surfing, picnicking, or kayaking. And, you can still come back in time to enjoy Orlando ’s dining and nightlife. It’s like two vacations in one!

Orlando’s closest beaches are located on Florida ’s Atlantic coast. From the attractions area, hop on State Road 528 (also known as the Beach Line) and head east. Take I-95 north and you’ll find New Smyrna Beach and the Canaveral National Seashore. Continue east on 528 and you’ll hit world-famous Cocoa Beach. Or take I-4 east to the shores of the world famous Daytona Beach.

Daytona Beach where you can still drive your car along sections of the broad, hard-packed beach. You will be following in the tire tracks of early race car drivers who set land speed records on this beach at the turn of the 20th century. These early thrill seekers earned the area the distinction of being the birthplace of speed, a claim to fame it still holds as the birthplace of NASCAR. Of course it's still a great place to get a tan.
