Unique Benefits
There are few resorts closer to Disney, making it possible to have a late day break, and then return to the Park. Windsor Palms is surrounded by greenspace and offers a quiet backdrop to enjoy a restful vacation. But there are plenty of activities on site if you're looking to keep busy.
Why Kids Love It
Having a private pool is always a hit with kids and this heated family size pool lets everyone get into the water. Every bedroom comes with cable tv and streaming services, and there are gaming systems in the home. The garage contains a games room with a pool table and foosball and a library of books and games. Don't forget to ask at the Clubhouse to put on a favourite movie in the cinema.

About the owner: Our family lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and we have owned the property for over 10 years. Our two boys and ourselves love how many things there are to do in Central Florida, including Disney, Universal, and many other major attractions. We are active owners who maintain the property to a high standard. We understand what families are looking for in a rental property and strive to make every stay a special one. We look forward to using the villa more ourselves in the future, but for now are happy to have visitors make their own memories, enjoying all the benefits that Kissimmee and Windsor Palms has to offer!
Why this property? Windsor Palms is ideally located with close access to Disney and Universal. The resort itself is its own oasis, offering a peaceful environment and reprieve from the parks, with lots of activities to entertain the family. When deciding on a vacation home, we wanted to own where the resort was well taken care of, people were friendly, and we had ready access to golf, restaurants, and bars. The 192 highway offers an endless array of places to eat, play mini golf, and go shopping. Having looked around the area at other resorts, we know that we made the right choice!

Great place to stay!!
Don and Sarah's home is very nice. We appreciated how clean and well kept it was. We were very impressed with the variety of kitchen appliances that were available. We had hamburgers on the George Foreman and panini's on the panini maker. We used the pool heat and it did a great job of keeping the pool warm, especially with the cool nights we had. The house is close enough to the clubhouse that we were able to walk all four of our grandchildren (including the 3 year old) to the movie theater for a movie and popcorn. Don was very responsive to my questions and very helpful with suggesting things to do in the area. We enjoyed the home and Windsor Palms so much that we booked it again for next year.

A fantastic villa, great location for Disney
Well what can I say? This villa is amazing. This was our first holiday to Florida and we had booked the holiday before Covid hit and as a result there were lots of disruption and changes. All of which the owner was incredibly supportive and flexible - even at late notice when we were considering moving the dates again, they were willing to bend over backwards to accommodate us. I am thankful we decided to still travel and the villa when we arrived was just amazing. Set in a beautiful complex which was absolutely spotless and the villa was the same. When we walked in we were taken aback as the photos (which we have been studying for a long time) didn't do this villa any justice. Lots of new refurbishments and the décor was fantastic. Slight issue with the pool but the owner arranged for a technician to come and resolve the issue but this didn't distract from our enjoyment. The location was absolutely perfect for us as we were there for the Parks - we get to Disney each time within 15 minutes and Universal within 25 minutes which with a young family this was perfect. We didn't venture much outside of the parks but the villa pack provided lots of possibilities if we wanted something different. Overall I would 100% recommend this villa if you are thinking of travelling to Florida - even more so if you are there for the Parks. The owner made us feel so welcome and nothing was a problem when we needed to communicate and always came back quickly when we needed them. This personal touch is what made the difference between this and a rental through a faceless management company.

Hi Chris, I'll admit we were a bit overwhelmed when we read your review. We try to do whatever we can to accommodate our guests, much of it behind the scenes. But you really noticed and appreciated those efforts, which means a lot to us. Your group was awesome and it's great that you like and benefitted from the recent renovations. Thanks for taking the time to write the lovely note and we would welcome you back any time.
