We are often asked about the “best” vacation home style resorts near Disneyworld in Orlando. Although we always make it clear that best is quite a subjective term, there are a few “heavyweights” we would identify as potential titleholders. Each of these selected contenders are located in close proximity to major vacation attractions including Walt Disney World Resort®. Let’s look at a resort product comparison between Emerald Island and Windsor Hills in Kissimmee, Florida.
The top leading contenders for this prestigious title would include Windsor Hills Resort and Emerald Island Kissimmee Fl. By all accounts, both resorts have all the great attributes needed to make them the champion. This would include a spacious clubhouse, attractive vacation homes, knockout resort amenities and a gated and guarded community. Visit our community review pages for more detailed information on Windsor Hills and Emerald Island.
Either way, Emerald Island or Windsor Hills would make a great champion. The amenities for either resort are of 4 star and 5 star quality. In this case, the judges’ scorecard includes an overall rating, vacation homes in the community, clubhouse, resort amenities, community pool and privacy level.
Now that we’ve identified an amenities scorecard of sorts, let’s look at a “tale of the tape” below!
