Picture This..Renting Your Own 5 Star Private Villa in Kissimmee Within 20 Minutes from Disney and Universal Theme Parks, Location, Location, Location

Kissimme is one of Florida's most sought after destinations. And, for good reason! Not only is it just moments from all of the major theme parks in Orlando, but Kissimmee is also a wonderful family-friendly destination in its own right, boasting wildlife-spotting opportunities, a picture-perfect Old Town, classic car convoys and a huge choice of restaurants. You'll also be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing the perfect villa. No wonder Kissimmee is often referred to as the vacation villa capital of the world.

I look forward to helping you choose your perfect rental villa in Kissimmee.

All the best,

John Paul Donnelly

5 Star Villa Holidays' Top 5 things to do in Kissimmee

  • 1. Kissimmee is within easy reach of Florida's major theme parks, so you can spend as much time as you want with Mickey.
  • 2. Visit pretty-as-a-picture Kissimmee Old Town, where you can ride the traditional ferris wheel and see the weekend classic car parade.

  • 5. Dine while watching knights joust on horseback at the Medieval Times dinner show.

Close to all of the major theme parks

One of the major attractions of Kissimmee is just how close it is to all of the big theme parks. Within around 20 minutes - or less depending on your villa choice - you could be meeting Mickey at Walt Disney World, channelling your inner Harry Potter or Hermione Granger at Universal Orlando, or being splashed by orcas at SeaWorld. The proximity of all the parks to Kissimmee means that you can easily make a number of visits to your favorite theme park, or visit a different one each day.

Things to do in Kissimmee with kids

While Mickey et al are bound to keep your little, and not-so-little, ones entertained, there are also myriad other attractions for the whole family in and around Kissimmee. Along the Orange Blossom Trail, which runs between Kissimmee and Orlando, you'll find Gatorland, where you can get up close and personal to Florida's most famous residents - its alligators. You can wrestle a gator, feed them some special hotdogs, see rare white gators, or even take a zipline across the park to see these magnificent critters from above.

For more animal encounters, pet the cute animals at Green Meadows petting farm for some outdoor time away from the rollercoasters, watch the baseball at Osceola County Stadium, look out for wildlife in its natural habitat at the Disney Wilderness Preserve or take an airboat ride at Boggy Creek.

More things to do in Kissimmee

It's not all about the younger guests at Kissimmee. There is plenty to keep you entertained, happy and well-fed even if you don't step foot inside the iconic Disney Maingate. Head to Old Town Kissimmee where you'll discover a charming olde worlde re-creation of classic Florida, where you'll find a vast array of shops and restaurants as well as the iconic ferris wheel which takes you 86ft in the air above Highway 192. If you visit during the weekend, watch for the classic and muscle cars and trucks which assemble for a drive down Old Town's Main Street.

Visit the museum of military history, jet ski on one of Kissimmee's lakes, take a fishing trip, or dress up and head out to one of Kissimmee's fine dining spots for a culinary treat. Just make sure you make reservations well in advance if there is somewhere really special you want to dine.
