How early do I book an Airbnb type rental in Florida for my Family?

Kid Approved Rentals Booking Window

Vacation rental booking windows for properties that are ideal for children follow school schedules in the USA. For example: When booking a Spring Break and Christmas Break holiday it's best to book at least 10 - 12 months in advance for the best selection.

Travelers looking to book 1 month prior to booking will have a lot of trouble finding a unit that is available. Unique and different accommodation types like entire islands and villas that sleeps 10 or more book very early. Also properties with high demand amenities like private pools and hot tubs book out early during winter season. Plan ahead to secure your favorite Family Friendly vacation villa to avoid the stress of holiday planning. Once you book just ask the host for the entry code key and contract details and you are all set!

High Season generally runs from February to April, June to mid-August, including all major holidays.

  • high demand holidays and school breaks - book 10 - 12 months in advance
  • low season while school is in session - book 1 month in advance
Family Friendly Rental Guest Retention

Many visitors fall in love with all that Florida has to offer and return every year with their families which also increases the demand to book early. Local residents also choose Florida as their summer resort vacation destination.

High Season for Kid Friendly Florida Vacation Rentals

High Season - February to mid-August, and all Holidays

High Season for family groups runs from February straight through to mid-August, including all major holidays. During this time, it is common for hosts and managers to rent their homes with turnover days only falling on Fridays and Saturdays, so it's a good idea to enter those search dates in your search criteria.

Orlando area private pool homes that are close to Disney book extremely far ahead during school breaks. The key to getting your ideal property on your wishlist is to book at least 9 months in advance and even earlier up to 1 year for large homes that sleeps up to 10 people.

A condo resort with a beach water view may have more flexibility with turnover dates if there are an abundance of units in the building and area.
