Welcome to The O.W.L. - Orlando Wizarding Lodge. Both wizarding friends and muggles will find unique details everywhere they look in this one of a kind, magical house. Every room is themed! From sleeping in your house's bedroom, to dining in the Great Hall, to cooking in the Burrow, to enjoying free time at Hogsmeade, this house will be a completely immersive experience for your magical vacation.
The Great Hall provides a rare opportunity for sharing meals together with your entire group. The large table has seating for up to 16 with additional seating at the headmaster’s table.
The Burrow Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including a coffee pot, hot water kettle, large griddle, waffle maker, pots and pans, etc… Mrs. Weasley was always ready to feed a crowd and there are plenty of dishes, glasses and utensils for everyone.
Within the screened lanai, the 14x30 foot heated pool has a raised spa that cascades into it. Each door leading out to the lanai is equipped with safety locks and a removable safety fence is provided. On the extended pool deck there are 2 tables and several loungers as well as a variety of pool toys and towels. Pool heat is an additional $25/day (recommended October - April). Mischief Managed!
No matter where the sorting hat has placed you, you will feel at home in the living area. You are welcome to use the floo powder if muggle traffic makes it difficult to get to the theme parks. Or you can just relax on the upgraded leather furniture and enjoy the large TV and pool view.
Umbridge’s office is conveniently located off the living room. Feel free to “use” it as needed.

This place was great!!! The arcade games, the pool table, the swimming pool, and all the Harry Potter memorabilia made the stay most worthwhile. I would recommend this house to any and all!!!
We were very happy with our stay. The host, Jill, reached out right away to make sure we got to the house and to see if we had any questions. She was quick to respond with anything we needed. We loved that the house was a Harry Potter theme and there was always something for the kids to do.
Our family had a great experience here! Jill and Paul were very accommodating and they answered in a timely manner. We would recommend this house as it was very kid friendly and spacious. The pool area was great and gave us lots of shade when needed. Anyone who is a fan of Harry Potter will love all the details and decor just like we did! Thank you again Jill and Paul!
The house was clean and very well kept. Had ample supplies in the kitchen for our needs. Game room was tons of fun. It was so great to have enough bath and pool towels for all guests staying in the house. If you love Harry Potter you will love this house.

We love the amount of space this house has for big groups! Thanks for staying with us and being such great guests!
This was our first-ever VRBO rental. This house really excelled. The decorations and details were over the top. All 16 of us had plenty to do and the pool was the highlight. The owners communicated so well concerning every detail and answered all of our questions promptly. We are recommending this to all of our friends.

We are so glad to have met your expectations! Thanks for the review and the recommendation!
This home is a Harry Potter fan's prime location. Our younger daughters are big into Harry Potter, and we were in Orlando for a trip to Universal Studios. The location was great. A short, almost 30-minute drive to the different parks. The community was nice and quiet for our stay. The owners were very responsive to our needs. I would recommend this property and would definitely consider staying again when back in Orlando.

Our cleaning crew takes pride in their work so thanks for the shout out! We appreciate this review!
Great house! We really enjoyed our stay. There were 15 of us, eight adults and seven kids. We spent most of our time in the pool and took a walk around the corner to the park. The kitchen is equipped with most everything you need, including child, appropriate dishes and cups. The bed linens are extremely comfortable, bath and pool towels were provided. There was plenty to do between the video games and the arcade area. The dining room was excellent, plenty of space for everyone to sit all in all a great stay.

Thanks for the review Niki! We love that the O.W.L. has a big enough dining space to fit even the largest of groups. We hope you can come back again soon!
Wonderful Harry Potter themed property with something for everyone of every age. The hot tub wasn't heating for the majority of the stay, but Jill and Paul were as responsive as they could be until the situation was fully resolved on the last day. They have promised compensation for the loss of that amenity. All in all, a great and beautiful home that we will most certainly consider renting again in the future.

Our stay at this Harry Potter-themed house was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the attention to detail—every room felt like stepping into a different part of the wizarding world. The décor was so creative and immersive, it truly made the experience unforgettable.The house was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The themed bedrooms were a hit with the kids (and the adults too!). It’s also in a great location—just a short drive to Disney, which made getting to the parks super convenient.The host was responsive, friendly, and made sure we had a smooth check-in and stay. You can really tell a lot of care and thought went into making this house special.If you're a Harry Potter fan or just looking for a fun, unique place to stay near Disney, this is it. We’d absolutely come back again!

Yay! This is what we strive for! Vacations shouldn't be stressful. We are so glad your family had such a wonderful stay; come again soon!
We had an absolutely magical experience at this house. The amenities were perfect ! We had a large group and had so much space for everyone. The pool and spa were warm and gorgeous. I can’t say enough about the decor of this home. If you are a Harry Potter fan, this is seriously your utopia! The amount of detail and dedication the owners have for their home is the best I have ever seen. I have stayed in emerald island for the past 5 years twice a year and I can honestly say hands down this home is the best! Great communication with the owner for any questions big or small! This wizarding house sure gave us lasting memories! I can’t wait to book again!

We had a truly wonderful and memorable stay on this property! The Harry Potter theme was abundant and detailed, thoughtful and fun all throughout the home. We enjoyed discovering new details every day it seemed! Plenty of room for a large family and especially the great hall dining table where everyone could eat meals together. The pool and hot tub were the perfect temperature, and the community was gated and safe - the kids enjoyed multiple playgrounds and nature trails, too. Plenty of parking as well. Most importantly, the homeowners were a delight to work with, very responsive and helpful, available to help but also laidback enough to allow for our family’s preferences on when/if any adjustments were needed. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Thanks Erin! We are thrilled that you all had such a great time in the O.W.L. We'd love to host you again!
We loved our stay at the Wizarding Lodge. The decorations were perfect. We kept noticing more details as we stayed there. My toddler had a great time on the slide, great way to entertain her when it was too hot out. The beds were comfortable, house was clean. Any issues were taken care of immediately. The host, Jill, always responded quickly. The game room got a lot of use. Both the kids and adults had a great time. My son found the spell book immediately, and although he is just learning, he did well. The kitchen was fully stocked. We found everything we needed. The pool heat worked great, as did the spa.We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We'd love to host your crew anytime!
An amazing experience from booking through departure.
Excellent communication.
Prompt responses from owners.
Spacious home!
The kids in our family could not stop raving about the gameroom, pool, and their rooms.
Each bedroom has a theme
*Dumbledore
*Potions
* Quidditch
Those are just the master suites!
Then all 4 houses are represented in the bedrooms.
FYI Slytherin is the best literally due to the slide lol.
Finally the Great Hall! I won't give it all away, let's just say , the kids wouldn't eat dinner anywhere but there lol.
Defintely will book again!

Thanks Jasmaine! We look forward to hosting you again!
This is a very well decorated Harry Potter Home. Thr house was clean and comfortable. The beds were all comfortable. The dining room had plenty of seating for our large group of 11. We had a magician (Pete Bellantoni) for our first night and it was a great way to start our vacation at this beautifully decorated home. The pool and game room gave us plenty to do in our down time. It was a great retreat from long days at theme parks. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The owners thought of everything! The communication from the owners was great! They checked in and were very responsive to any questions we had. I highly recommend this property for families or anyone who loves Harry Potter. We had young kids, teens and adults and everyone was impressed with the detail that went into this property. You will find new treasures around every corner! If you're planning to visit Universal this is the best place to stay.
