All our Florida villa rental ratings are based on opinion reviews (please see disclaimer). This listing of luxury villas near Disney is not meant to be all inclusive with distances derived using online mapping services. Exact distances from individual rental homes to Orlando theme parks will vary. Please see our community reviews area for detailed information on over 80 resorts in the area.

Our sample listing of luxury vacation rentals near Disney along with approximate distances to Magic Kingdom:

• Windsor Hills Kissimmee - 6 Miles +/-
• Emerald Island Resort – 7 Miles+/-
• Acadia Estates – 8 Miles+/-
• Formosa Gardens Estates Review - 8 Miles+/-
• Windsor Palms Kissimmee – 8 Miles+/-

Why is it so important to know the distance of your vacation villa to Disney? The answer is that every mile can literally take 5 to 10 minutes if traffic is heavy on Highway 192. If you double that time (to and from the parks) this could have a significant impact on your daily vacation experience.

We cannot understate the importance of doing your research during the booking and planning phase of your vacation. Our resort community reviews are meant to be used as a reference, especially for maps and distance to Orlando attractions. We help you do the research to take the stress out of selecting a vacation rental in Orlando to meet your expectations.

Luxury Vacation Rentals Near Disney

If you like value simply on living area square footage for your next Orlando area vacation, vacation homes can offer significantly more value than conventional hotel rooms.

Family Friendly - Orlando Vacation Homes

Orlando is the family friendly destination capital of the world, and can present an even greater family experience when combined with a vacation home rental.

For families, vacation homes offer a range of amenities. In addition to space (as mentioned above), there are amenities such as pools, washing machines, multiple televisions and individually equipped kitchens. Keep in mind that many vacation homes are located within a resort style community as well. These vacation home resorts often include a community pool, clubhouse, internet and other amenities.

As a vacation home consumer, you can easily scan each community for such amenities as playgrounds, and security oriented information such as whether the subdivision is gated and/or guarded. For those that are visual, we have also added a new feature which is a short video tour for each community. Some of the most well know communities in the area include Windsor Hills and Emerald Island.

We hope you and your family have a great vacation in Orlando.

We have received many inquiries related to the relationship between distance to the Walt Disney World Resort ® and nightly rates for Disney area vacation rentals. After carefully looking at rental rates on several websites, there are too many other factors that come into play for explicitly determining a hypothetical market rate for the consumer. These pricing factors include size of home, reputation of vacation home community, amenities and location. The plethora of choices and options are some of the many reasons why vacation homes are so superior to hotels.

On our site, we profile many Disney area vacation home communities, including the ability to assess what factors are most important to you. We are currently updating our site to better allow you to sort through the comprehensive information we have available. We also include video of most vacation homes and resort communities near Disney on the site. This will put you in a better position to lower the risk related to booking a vacation home that meets your personal needs and expectations.

As we have stated before, it pays to shop around when renting vacation condos, townhomes and traditional vacation homes alike in the Orlando area.

Unlike hotels which have designation programs designed to evaluate quality levels (Mobil, AAA), individual vacation homes are very difficult to evaluate. Some websites do attempt to post consumer reviews, but that information is often limited and dated, but can be helpful after being paired with our vacation home community rating reviews and opinions. We have now posted over 40+ community profiles, and add more on a weekly basis which include most vacation rentals near Disney.
