10 Unique Florida Airbnbs in 2026 (+ 5 Disney Stays)

Are you thinking of heading to Florida for your vacation? You’re not alone. It’s a holidaymakers’ paradise, with warm weather, beaches, Key West (and Largo), Disney World, and everything else you could want in a getaway. Much of Florida also has a Central American influence in its food, nightlife, and music. There’s a wonderful sense of relaxation here that suits the casual atmosphere of the cities, the Keys, and beach walks.

Top 10 Unique Airbnb Rentals in Florida

These are my top picks for the most interesting Airbnb homes in the state, running from splurge-worthy mansions to affordable tiny houses, treehouses, and glamping stays.

I’ve also factored in cleaning fees and additional costs where applicable. So you have some idea what your real costs are for each place.

P.S. If you are looking for awesome places to stay in Miami specifically, we have the post just for you!

1. 13 Bedroom, Great Escape Lakeside on 10 Acres – Luxury Mansion

• Location: Clermont (30 mins to Orlando)
• Price: from US$2350 per night
• Bedrooms: 13
• Guests: 16

The host recommends 16 people for optimum comfort, but this estate can sleep an impressive 43 bodies! It truly is a one-of-a-kind vacation home, complete with a giant chess set in the sitting room. 

But everything here is focused on games and fun – it’s even in the Guinness Book of World Records. What other holiday home has its own casino, escape room, water slide, and a 40,000-gallon pool? 

2. The Tiki Suite – Luxury Suite for Couples

• Location: Key West
• Price: from US$540 per night
• Bedrooms: 1
• Guests: 2

Take the concept of a houseboat and combine it with that of a hut or cottage. Who needs a pool (or an island) when you’ve got the open water?

The obvious big advantage of the tiki suite is that you’re somewhat isolated here. Watch the birds and wildlife up close while enjoying the sounds of nature and the water lapping at the edges of the cottage. 

Open the sliding doors to let air flow through, or just flop in the hammock on your deck. This is rustic living taken to a new level. You may need to adjust somewhat to the open water lifestyle, but you’re not likely to beat this Key West floating experience for “special”. It’s basically your own island placed on the water. 

3. UFO Dome w/ Loft Arcade – Coolest Airbnb for Families

• Location: Lake Placid (under 2 hrs to Orlando)
• Price: from US$450 per night
• Bedrooms: 2
• Guests: 8

Large spaceships in the middle of Florida are usually bad news. Not this one. The dome sits tucked under a stand of ancient oaks, which is either excellent camouflage or a very relaxed landing.

Inside, the retro-futuristic theme is fully committed: cosmic decor, space-themed artifacts on the shelves, board games, and a record player. The best part is the loft, which has been turned into an arcade. Your kids will not be coming down for dinner.

Outside there’s a fire pit made for stargazing, with nature trails and fishing spots nearby. It sleeps eight, so this one is built for the whole family rather than a couple.

4. Treehouse at Danville – Private Room for Couples

• Location: Geneva
• Price: from US$250 per night
• Bedrooms: 1
• Guests: 2

This spectacular modern studio tree home is packed with luxurious extras. There’s the main area with its panoramic windows, two decks, a queen-size Murphy bed, and full bathroom amenities.

During the day, you can sit under the tiki hut with a cocktail. As it turns to evening, move to the hot tub and stay till the blue lights come on. When the treehouse is all lit up at night, it has views like something out of a fairy tale.

When you’re tired, use the tree-trunk elevator or climb the stairs to your lounge space/bedroom.

5. TreeHouse in the Cloud – Compact Apartment for Two

• Location: St Cloud
• Price: from US$190 per night
• Bedrooms: 1
• Guests: 2

Here’s another beautiful tree home that gets away with a completely different approach. The design here takes full advantage of the beautiful surroundings. Your bedroom area has windows all around. And if you want to get even closer to nature, step outside onto the wraparound walkway. 

The private deck with views of the canopy is also great for enjoying a glass of your favorite beverage. Remember to give a tip to the 300-year-old tree you’re living in! When you return from the beach, you can sit around the firepit for a chat and a tipple.

6. Lakefront Studio Apartment – Superb Lakeside Studio with a View

• Location: Orlando
• Price: from US$170 per night
• Bedrooms: 1
• Guests: 2

Dog lovers can bring along an additional guest pet or two when they stay here. The owners who live elsewhere on the property own friendly dogs who might check up on you from time to time. 

Though Florida is known for the beach, it also has a fantastic lake or two. Your space is a cozy studio apartment close to the swimming pool and overlooking the lake. There is a canoe available if you want to head out for a paddle. No wonder this was the most wish-listed Airbnb in Florida for years!

This is a place meant for those who are getting out and about, enjoying a day by the pool, hitting the bed for a night of deep sleep, and waking up to a gorgeous Florida lake view to do it all over again. 

7. Tree House at The Country Club of Orlando – Great Budget Airbnb

• Location: Orlando
• Price: from US$130 per night
• Bedrooms: 1
• Guests: 2

Trees, trees, trees! Well, that’s the feeling this plant-heavy carriage Airbnb leaves you with. Everything is stylish and strategically placed for maximum efficiency, including an impressive amount of greenery within the home. 

Your first challenge is to drag yourself out of a deep sleep from the ultra-comfortable bed each morning. Find the cozy sofa in front of the TV with a fireplace if you choose to stay in.

Even the little coffee area (not quite a full kitchen) is perfect, as if it’s in the treetops, with so many plants that decorate and freshen the space. It isn’t called ‘The Little Treehouse’ for nothing. It’s also really close to Disney World and downtown, making it a convenient option for those on the big Florida tourist plan. 

8. Treehouse Canopy Room on a Permaculture Farm

• Location: Little Haiti, Miami
• Price: from US$120 per night
• Bedrooms: 1
• Guests: 2

If you love holidaying amongst a bunch of petting zoo animals instead of on a beachfront, have I got a Miami treehouse for you! This amazing home is three stories up, so you get to fall asleep with a view of the canopy. You may be able to hear some goats, emus, roosters, and more going about their day down below. 

You’ll also get to enjoy some of the host farm’s produce when it’s available. There’s farm-to-table veg, eggs, and honey for your enjoyment. In fact, there’s a bit of a farm community going on here, and you can choose to participate in any way you like.

The balcony provides a peaceful spot to relax, complete with a view. There might not be air conditioning, but trees also grow through your room. You’re in touch with the best of Florida nature here. And if you’re looking for more of that beauty, be sure to check out more places to stay in Miami.  

9. BOHO Bungalow Tiny House on Wheels – Great Location 

• Location: Miami MIMO District
• Price: from US$120 per night
• Bedrooms: 1
• Guests: 2

What’s more interesting than a tiny house? Well, a tiny house on wheels! You’re very close to the lively bar and restaurant part of town here, so this comfortable but economical place serves as a wonderful rest-stop for all your hard travel.

There’s a small deck for a quiet moment and a drink, and a kitchenette to take care of any snacky needs. Hot tip: The fridge has some complimentary goodies courtesy of the host. 

The most endearing part of this small home is that it started as a pet project for the host and her young daughter. There’s a lot of love put into this Miami home.

10. Award-Winning Tiny House Barn Model – Best Value Airbnb

• Location: Melbourne
• Price: from US$100 per night
• Bedrooms: 1
• Guests: 3

Score this tiny house 10/10 for beauty. A high arched roof gives you the room you want, and you even have a lofted space for your bedroom. One of the best features of the home is the front wall with its windowed panels. It brings tons of light into the living room.

As for space, there’s enough to include a comfortable shower, a full farm sink, a kitchen, and even a stack unit washer and dryer. It’s a tiny home as great as any full apartment.

Conversely, when you’re sitting next to the house at the firepit or around the outdoor dining table, the wall emits light from inside the house. It makes for a beautiful, almost surreal magazine picture. 

BONUS: Best Disney-Themed Airbnbs in Florida 

If any of the above listings don’t bowl you over, well, I’ve gone the extra mile for you. Here’s a bonus section of wacky, weird, but ultimately brilliant Disney-themed Airbnbs in Florida for your consideration. For those a little further away from the big cities, I’ve mentioned how far the journey is by car.

1. Mansion Near Disney with Arcade, Theater & Huge Pool – for a Large Group

• Location: Reunion (15 mins to Disney World)
• Price: from US$1600 per night
• Bedrooms: 10
• Guests: 16

Ten bedrooms. Let that sit for a moment. Michael’s Manor is built for the kind of trip where three generations travel together and nobody has to share a bathroom.

The entertainment is really the point here. There’s an arcade, a home theater with a 100-inch screen, and an enormous private pool out back. Two of the kids’ rooms are themed, so the little ones get their own bit of magic without the whole house going pink.

It sits inside the gated Reunion Resort, which brings its own restaurants, pools, and golf, and Walt Disney World is about fifteen minutes down the road.

2. Top Resort Spot, Star Wars Villa – A Galaxy Far, Far Away

• Location: Kissimmee (30 mins to Orlando)
• Price: from US$1200
• Bedrooms: 8
• Guests: 16

Eight bedrooms, and the Dark Side has clearly won. This is a full Star Wars estate rather than a house with a poster in it, themed throughout and big enough for sixteen.

Once you’re done arguing about which trilogy is the best one, there’s a private pool and hot tub outside, a home theater for a marathon viewing, and a pool table for everyone who has opted out.

It’s in one of the Kissimmee resort communities, so the parks are a short drive away and you get the resort facilities on top of everything the house already has.

3. Wizarding Home Near Harry Potter World

• Location: Orlando
• Price: from US$550 
• Bedrooms: 5
• Guests: 10

You have to love the ingenuity and creativity on offer at this Hogwarts-themed Airbnb “castle”. The four ground floor rooms are all dedicated to a Hogwarts House (Go, Hufflepuff!). The second master room on the second floor is – of course – the headmaster’s office.   

There’s plenty to see and do elsewhere, too. Spend time at the swimming pool or by the firepit, eat in the dining hall (no dishwashing spells in the kitchen, please), and see and talk to the people in the portraits adorning the wall in the common room area. 

Best of all, you’re just a few minutes away from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and 6 miles from Disney.

4. Disney Princess Crownhouse – Closest to the Magic

• Location: Kissimmee (2 miles from Disney World)
• Price: from US$450
• Bedrooms: 3
• Guests: 6

Some Disney rentals gesture at the theme. This one commits. There’s a Princess room kitted out with Disney collection furniture and a Mickey room next door, both designed so the adults don’t feel like they’re sleeping in a toy box.

It’s a three-bedroom, three-bathroom crownhouse in the gated Windsor Hills Resort, and the location is the headline: two miles from the gates of Walt Disney World. Being an end unit, the pool faces south and catches sun all day.

It’s baby friendly, the kitchen is fully equipped, and there’s a resort pool for the afternoons when nobody can face another queue. Worth knowing: there’s a three-night minimum.

5. The Mickey Mouse House – Best Value Disney Stay

• Location: Kissimmee (5 mins to Disney)
• Price: from US$150
• Bedrooms: 2
• Guests: 7

Your kids are going to thank you for this one. It’s a bright two-bedroom condo at Secret Lake Resort, Disney-themed from top to bottom, and it’s the gentlest entry on this list for your wallet.

It sleeps five adults plus two children and an infant, which suits a family that doesn’t need ten bedrooms and a private cinema. It’s a fairly new listing, so the linens and furniture are all brand new as well.

The location does the heavy lifting: five minutes from the Disney parks, 28 minutes from SeaWorld, and 33 from Universal Studios, inside a secure gated resort with dining and shopping a few minutes away.
