The 67 Days of Smiles tour by Kyle Post and Stacey Doornbos visited a vacation home community on Day 62 of their tour. As we have blogged before, vacation homes are becoming a more mainstream choice for Orlando tourists. This promo choice exemplifies this fact.

Acadia Estates villas were also featured in a video tour of the luxurious Kissimmee vacation rental community on the Orlando CVB website. Acadia Estates is an exclusive community of 5 to 7 bedroom vacation rentals in a private gated cul-de-sac. Acadia Estates is located in a convenient location approximately 7 miles to Disney’s Magic Kingdom and 4 miles to Animal Kingdom.

We applaude the Orlando Convention and Visitors Bureau for carving out time for Kyle and Stacey to view and stay in a representative vacation home community. Acadia Estates is/was an excellent choice for the type of quality accommodations that vacation rentals have to offer visitors to the area.

Consult the community reviews section of our website for a review of Acadia Estates villas along with 80+ other vacation rental communities in Kissimmee, Clermont, Orlando, and Davenport.

Acadia Estates

Four countries (out of the top 20) actually showed increases compared to this same monthly period one year ago. These nations were (with their rate of increase): China (37%), Argentina (19%), Italy (6%) and Brazil (5%). Of special note is the fact that Brazilian tourism to the United States has increased its annual comparative growth rate for 32 straight months.

Western European visitation, of special importance to the Florida villas market, was down 12%. Our blog has expressed concern over this recognized trend several months ago.
