Margaritaville Resort Orlando Cottages by Rentyl

Margaritaville Cottages Orlando is a sun-splashed, family-first resort that feels like a sped-up, better-behaved version of island life parked on the edge of Orlando’s theme-park orbit. You arrive through a lobby of floor-to-ceiling windows that dump straight into a lagoon poolscape; poolside servers sling cocktails from the Salty Rim while Euphoria’s breakfast and brunch crowd claim the waterfront tables. The cottages and villas give you breathing room — full kitchens, roomy living areas and a porch to watch kids disappear into a lazy river or the adjacent water park. Staff here make the place: names come up again and again for the way they smooth travel hiccups, handle late flights and treat large families like old friends. Locals drop in for brunch and a sunset drink; vacationers treat it as HQ for parks by day and low-key island-mode nights. It’s less a private escape and more a communal living room where families, groups and weddings can stretch out, recharge, and then head back to the roller coasters energized and a little sandy.
