Spring Break Trip April 2024
We currently stayed in this house during Spring Break. The house was beautiful and clean. The cleanest house I have stayed in so far. The pool was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. I will say the house looks just like the pictures. The check in process was easy and everything was set when we arrived. We even had water and Pepsi in the fridge when we arrived. This was a nice surprise. We really enjoyed staying here and plan to do so in the future if available when we travel again.

Bad beds
This house was clean. However, the furniture was very uncomfortable to sit on. This included the dining tables, the sofas in the family room and the beds. In particular, the king size bed in the master bedroom was extremely uncomfortable. The mattress was totally compressed because of age and use. We awoke every morning with aching backs which was not a good start to our Disney Park days. The homeowner offered to purchase a new mattress in the middle of our vacation but only at our expense. The mattress should have been replaced long ago for every renter’s comfort.

Perfect House, Perfect Location
When we arrived at the house we were amazed at the size, feel and look of the house. The room the property provides was a very nice change from previous rentals. We have rented many vacation houses through VRBO and this one is by far the best one we have rented. The experience and communication with Charles and Joanne was exceptional. Check in and check out was very easy. Their dedication to providing the guest the best stay possible was above and beyond. The beds are very comfortable. The layout of the house provides ease of use. The view of the pond behind the house was fantastic. After a day of shopping and parks it was very nice relaxing by the pool looking out over the pond. We are defiantly planning on staying here again and again. We thank you for making this stay enjoyable.

Excellent Property, Location and Host
Beautifully maintained home, perfect for our extended family (ages 2 years to Grandparents). Plenty of room to spread out after a long day in the parks, or just hang out together on none park days (both inside and out). The pool, hot tub and outdoor spaces are gorgeous. The hosts are amazing, incredibly nice and willing to go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Lovely people! The best part for us was the quick access to Disney Parks, just a quick drive away! Highly recommend this property and will definitely return!

Why they chose this property

The house is approximately 3,000 feet in size located over two-story floors. All your favorite Disney characters await less than 5 minutes away! With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a huge screened pool, and is an icon of a house everyone wanted this house and we have wanted since we saw in many years ago.

The house is situated in Formosa Gardens Estates community in Kissimmee, Florida, which is one of the closest estates to Disney World ever zoned for short-term rentals.

Located five minutes from Disney World, Formosa Gardens Estates comprises single-family homes designed for mainly vacations and some residential.

The prestigious Formosa Gardens area in Kissimmee is opposite Disney's Animal Kingdom and just a few genuine miles from Disney's World. You can't get closer. Accessed directly from Highway 192. Many of the Kissimmee homes are so far from the parks you can get stuck in the queuing on Interstate 4, or the 27, or driving in from the outskirts

The new and exciting Margaritaville Theme Park is directly opposite Formosa Gardens and includes a 12-acre water park, multiplex cinema, music venues, shopping mall, and restaurants.

From Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios to Epcot and the Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, all of your favorite Disney attractions can be found within 10 miles or less of this Kissimmee home! So spend a day at the theme parks and, later, head into Disney Springs for evening entertainment.

What's a trip to the Sunshine State without an afternoon under the sun! Drive about an hour east to test your skills in the surf breaks of Cocoa Beach, or venture an hour and a half west to wander the white-sand shores of Clearwater Beach. This property is a lovely family home with good access to all parks and retail shopping.

If you wish to explore other areas but have a base to come back to, it is brilliant, or if you want to cruise in the middle of your vacation, it is not too far to cruise terminals.

What makes this property unique

Genuinely nothing like this in the area this big or spacious as a four-bedroom family home on nearly an acre of land and lakefront for this close access to Disney parks only 5 minutes or 2 miles away. Shops bars and restaurants are all close by. If you want to have a day around the pool, there is no better way than in this beautiful home on this quiet estate.

Retail therapy is close by, or you can enjoy the shopping and restaurants of Winter Gardens or Osceola Parkway as an abundance of retail Centres with every shop imaginable.

International Drive is just off the I 4 with discovery cove, sea world, and Aquatica nearby.

With its green golf course, Mystic Dunes is just 1 mile away with over 15 other courses nearby, heaven for a golf enthusiast.

Busch Gardens and the fine white sand beaches of Sarasota are only an hour's drive away, where you can swim, sunbathe or watch the world go by in one of the many restaurants situated down the main road on the way to Lido Beach.

The cruise ship terminals are not far away; Port Canaveral, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale are all within easy reach if you feel like being pampered.

The NASA space center is only an hour away; budding astronauts will find this exciting.

- Unbeatable Kissimmee location in the Formosa Gardens Estate complex - Within 10 miles or less of Disney's world-class theme parks! Minutes from golfing, shopping, dining, and other area entertainment, and about a 1-hour drive from beaches

- Nearest Commercial Airport: Orlando International Airport (~25 miles away)
