Private vacation home 15 min from Disney with pool in resort-style community

Welcome to our home – we absolutely love this place!

It’s spacious, peaceful, and has everything you’ll need to have fun while still feeling at home.

Our house is located in the renowned Veranda Palms Resort, a gated community known for its tranquility and great location — which makes all the difference.
You’ll love being close to the parks (15 minutes from Disney, 18 minutes from SeaWorld, and 20 minutes from Universal).

Besides the parks, you’ll be very close to the lively Highway 192, full of restaurants, stores, and attractions, as well as Disney Springs, a perfect spot for dinner or an evening stroll (if you’ve never been there, it’s truly worth a visit — an enchanting place for kids and adults alike).

The community is safe, with 24-hour gated security, a gym, a resort-style pool with splash pad, lots of green space, and a beautiful lake that makes the atmosphere even more pleasant.
It’s the kind of place where you just want to stay a little longer.

Later on I’ll talk more about the community and the surrounding area, but now let’s focus on what matters most — the house:

The house is spacious, bright, and fully air-conditioned. We’ve taken care of every detail so your stay feels light and easy. Every room has fast Wi-Fi and a TV, and you’ll find everything you need close at hand.

There are nine distinct areas, thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and plenty of family interaction (creating fond memories with our kids was our main goal):

Living Room – wide, bright, and cozy. This is where you relax, talk, and enjoy the evening after a day at the parks.

Dining Room – a large, comfortable table perfect for bringing everyone together for good meals and conversations about the day’s experiences.

TV Room – pure relaxation, with a big, soft sofa that feels like a hug and a 75” TV — the perfect space for movie nights or calm mornings filled with natural light and a view of the pool and forest beyond.

Game Room – a vibrant space with a pool table, table games, and a small play corner for the little ones. Fun for all ages!

Kitchen – fully equipped with granite countertops, modern appliances, and a breakfast bar with elegant stools — perfect for quick meals before heading out.

It includes high-quality appliances (cooktop, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher) and all utensils — coffee maker, toaster, blender, and much more. There’s also a breakfast bar and breakfast table — ideal for easy mornings before going out.

Bedrooms
Each bedroom has its own style and was designed for comfort:

Master Suite: king-size bed, bathroom with jacuzzi, and walk-in closet — a true invitation to rest.

Second Suite: queen-size bed and private TV — charming and cozy.

Mickey Room: playful and delightful, Disney-themed décor with character figures and two twin beds overlooking the pool.

Star Wars Room: a galactic experience with themed décor, collectible figures, and two twin beds overlooking the pool.

Private Pool
Enjoy the screened-in private pool with lounge chairs, umbrellas, a snack table, and plenty of space to enjoy the Florida sunshine in peace. The pool depth ranges from 3 to 6 feet.
If you’d like, heating can be added for an additional $35/day — just let us know in advance.

Included amenities
Towels, linens, washer/dryer, crib, and high chair. Pool heating available upon request (extra fee).

We’ve prepared everything so you can feel at home — just with all the fun of being on vacation!

Because comfort goes beyond walls and furniture — it’s about feeling at home, wherever you are. The house is quiet, comfortable, and has that homely warmth we all look for when we’re away.

Now, going back to talk about the Villa, the Veranda Palms Resort is one of the best-located communities in Kissimmee.
It’s in a peaceful area surrounded by nature, right next to Shingle Creek Preserve, a natural reserve with trails and walking paths.

The community is gated with 24-hour security, ensuring safety and privacy.

The amenities are complete: a resort-style zero-entry pool, children’s splash area with slides, well-equipped gym, playground, trails, and green area with a lake. It’s a great place for both relaxation and family trips.

We’re just 4 miles (6.5 km) from Old Town Kissimmee, with its charming shops, amusement rides, and vintage cars. The Vineland Premium Outlets, perfect for shopping, are about 9 miles (14 km) away.

For everyday shopping, everything is close by:

Super Target: 1.5 miles (2.4 km)

Walmart Supercenter: 2.5 miles (4 km)

Publix Supermarket: 2.8 miles (4.5 km)

Aldi: 3.2 miles (5 km)

Pharmacies are also nearby — Walgreens and CVS, both less than 10 minutes away.

US-192 (Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) is right next to the community and brings together much of Kissimmee’s local life. There you’ll find well-known favorites such as Olive Garden, Red Lobster, TGI Friday’s, Applebee’s, Smokey Bones BBQ, and Outback Steakhouse, along with fast-food options like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Panda Express, Taco Bell, and Chick-fil-A. There are also pizzerias, coffee shops, bakeries, and Brazilian restaurants in the area.

If you want something different from the parks, there are plenty of options just a few minutes away:

Fun Spot America Kissimmee: amusement park with free entry (5 miles)

Medieval Times Dinner Show: themed dinner in a medieval castle (3 miles)

Lake Tohopekaliga: great for boating and fishing (6 miles)

ICON Park (Orlando Eye): giant wheel and restaurants (15 miles)

Celebration Town: a Disney-designed neighborhood, charming and full of cafés (10 minutes).

In addition, access to major roads is easy — Osceola Parkway, Highway 192, and I-4 — making it simple to get anywhere in Orlando quickly, including the outlets and Orlando International Airport (MCO), about 25 minutes away.

In short, Veranda Palms brings together everything that makes an Orlando trip unforgettable — the proximity to the parks, the convenience of nearby shopping, and the calm of a beautiful and secure community that feels like home during your vacation.
