1. Staycations

Enjoy the end of summer with ultimate relaxation by setting up a staycation at your resort home. Rentyl Resort properties come in different sizes for small and large families with luxury bedrooms and living rooms with views of Orlando’s attractions right outside the window. Stroll to delicious restaurant dining ranging from luxurious seafood to mouthwatering burgers and pizza.

2. Promenade at Sunset Walk

Get the adrenaline pumping with live entertainment at the Promenade at Sunset Walk just a short trip from your Rentyl Resort vacation home. Dance and move to live music while enjoying fresh seafood at The Wharf “where the tides meet tunes.” Race to solve mysteries at Escapology, compete with friends and family in your own arcade game tournament at GameTime, and soar through the air at Sunset Walk Slingshot.

3. Spa Days

Balance out the excitement of an Orlando retreat with tranquility with a spa day, or two. At St. Somewhere Spa at Margaritaville Resort Orlando, relax into a delightful full-body massage or treat yourself and your skin with a facial and hair treatment. Take the whole family to the spa for special packages, or journey the spas in Orlando with specialties ranging from cryotherapy at Chill Cryosauna to sensory deprivation at Float8 Wellness Lounge.

4. Water Parks

Cool down with excitement for the whole family in the city known for its water fun. Scream and splash in the water slides of Island H2O Water Park and rest between wet races in the shade of the cabanas. Defy gravity at Universal’s Volcano Bay with water slides twisting and swirling around the 200-foot-tall volcano Krakatau. Splash into action at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon at the huge surf pool or on the amazing water-coaster raft ride.

5. Outdoor Adventures

Become one with nature and enjoy the excitement of outdoor adventures in Orlando. Soar through the air on the Tarzan ropes and zip lines of Orlando Tree Trek Adventure Park or race each other on 4-wheelers at Revolution Adventures. Float into the peace and quiet of Blue Spring State Park while taking the kids on their first kayaking trip.

6. Relaxing by the Pool

Cool off in beautiful Florida sunshine by the swimming pool at your Rentyl Resort vacation home. The kids can race each other and practice their cannonballs while you work on your tan and sip your cold drinks in the luxurious cabana rentals. Pools with waterslides and lazy rivers offer the perfect balance between fun and relaxation, and games by the pool such as Connect 4 and ping pong at Reunion Water Park also help keep the kids busy.

7. Theme Parks

Fill the day with adventure and excitement at the theme parks of Orlando. Universal Orlando Resort features rides based on both classic and recent films, and SeaWorld Orlando is perfect for water ride lovers and those who enjoy shows and exhibits featuring aquatic life. Magic awaits at Walt Disney World’s multiple parks with exciting rides and the thrill of meeting favorite Disney characters.
