Location

Formosa Gardens Orlando Villas in Florida

Formosa Gardens Villas in Orlando

Formosa Gardens Estates villas to rent, arguably one of the closest communities to Disney World. This luxury gated community has premium Orlando vacation rentals making this a very popular location. NO SERVICE FEES

Formosa Gardens Orlando offers an exclusive development of spacious, executive 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and even 9 bedroom vacation rentals and villas, so can cater for parties of all sizes. Most of our Formosa Gardens Florida villas have oversized plots, with fabulous pools, spas and extended decks. Many of the Formosa Gardens vacation rentals have the additional benefit of internal games rooms, and even home cinemas! The wide boulevards and palm fringed streets add to the spacious feel of this Florida community, we have homes on Spinning Silk Court, Sea Pearl Circle, Emperor's Orchid Court, Formosa Boulevard, Rising Sun Court and Plum Blossom Court.

Over 30 Formosa Gardens Villas to Rent

Built around a central lake (Star Lake), many of these Formosa Gardens Orlando villas have fabulous lake views. This executive community is an ideal holiday location for families. Formosa Gardens gated community is located off Kissimmee's Hwy 192 West at Mile Marker 4 - less than 3 miles from the Disney theme parks, so that you can be first in the gates each morning!

What makes Formosa Gardens sought after is the size and layout of the homes as most of them have larger than average plots, private pools and general living spaces. All set in a gated community.

Once inside the gates of Formosa Gardens you will feel a world away from the busy Orlando theme parks. After you’ve had some chill time by your pool and feel ready for dinner and drinks, you have a huge choice of bars and restaurants right on your door step.

Restaurants near Formosa Gardens Kissimmee

Less than two minutes in the car on Formosa Gardens Blvd which is right out of the gates and you have an Adega Gaucha Restaurant, which is a Brazilian steakhouse.

Just a bit further down the road you have a sports bar called Buffalo Wild Wings which serves burgers & fries plus pitchers of beer and is a great place to watch all of the days games and has a great atmosphere when the matches are live so if sports are your thing this is the place for you.

Less than 5 minutes from our Formosa Gardens vacation rentals is Rolling Oaks Commons which has a number of restaurants as well as a Super Target super market. From Formosa Gardens head back out to HWY192 and then turn left and head about about a mile down where you will come to some traffic lights, either side you will see a number of restaurants. Located here you have Millers Ale House which is another sports / family restaurant which have nightly specials so check out menu to see whats cooking.

On the opposite corner is an Applebees, and then across the road you have Hooters which although you may not think so is family friendly. There is also a Bahama Breeze, Olive Garden, Rock & Brews plus a few other like Flippers Pizzeria.

As you can see you have access to more than enough restaurants while staying at Formosa Gardens to keep everyone in the family happy. There are of course the usual fast food restaurants nearby like McDonalds, Taco Bell, Burger King for that late night snack or 4th meal as Taco Bell call it and if you love subs you have Subway right there, my favourite is a meatball sub!

We have put together a blog post listing over 50 restaurants along HWY192 in Kissimmee. It has all the details like phone numbers, links to menus and google / tripadvisor reviews. All of these restaurants are between mile marker 4 and 6 and just a few minutes from Formosa Gardens.

Villa Communities near Formosa Gardens, Florida

If you can't find what you are looking for from our Formosa Gardens villas or they are out of your budget below is a list of other nearby communities. We have over 550 Orlando villas to rent so I am sure you can find something to suit your needs.

Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Formosa Gardens

Directions via the 417 Toll Road

The closest airport to Formosa Gardens is Orlando International Airport (MCO) which is 28 miles away. There are a number of different ways to get from the airport to Formosa Gardens but I find the best way is via the 417 Toll road.

Once you have picked up your hire car and left the carpark look for the 417 South Exit Toll road. The sign should be brown and might also have Disney – Kissimmee listed on it. You may have to do a loop of the airport to get the right exit but just keep following the signs.

Follow the 417 South Toll road for about 16 miles until you see signs for Interstate 4 West (I4). The 417 toll road should cost about $4 so make sure you have some cash on you.

Join I4 West and follow for 3.5 miles then take Exit 60 onto the 429 North. Take the first exit off of the 429 which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash only toll booth so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth go straight over at the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) around for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side. Make sure you have the gate code to get in.

Directions via the 528 Toll Road

If you would prefer to avoid a few tolls you can take the North Exit when leaving MCO. It would be sign posted as North Exit (528 Toll). Look for the 528 Toll (West) To I4 (International Dr). I don’t often take this route as the 528 is a busier road.

Follow the 528 Toll and then join I4 West. Stay on I4 West for 7 miles and take Exit 64. It will read 192 Kissimmee / Magic Kingdom, follow for a few miles and then take 192 West (Magic Kingdom / Wide World of Sports). Stay on the 192 West for 3.5 and then turn left on to Formosa Gardens Blvd. There is a Red Lobster restaurant on one corner and Harley Davidson on the other.

Follow Formosa Gardens Blvd for about 1 mile to the 4 way stop. Cross over and then the Formosa Gardens Estate in on the left.

As you pull into the community there is a key pad on the left where you enter the access code provided by the villa owner.

Sandford International Airport (SFB) to Formosa Gardens

Again there are a number of ways to get from Sanford International Airport (SFB) to Formosa Gardens but I think the best way is via the 417 Toll Road (55 miles). When leaving Sanford airport you want to take 417 South and just follow it all the way until you reach I4. This is a toll road and will cost you around $9.

Join I4 West and follow for 3.5 miles then take Exit 60 onto the 429 North. Take the first exit off of the 429 which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash only toll booth so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth go straight over at the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) around for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side.

As you pull into the community there is a key pad on the left where you enter the access code provided by the villa owner.

Tampa International Airport (TPA) to Formosa Gardens

As with all of American there are a number of ways to get everywhere but I have hopefully listed the quickest way. It is 70 miles from Tampa airport to Formosa Gardens but it’s a very easy drive.

When you leave Tampa International Airport (TPA) you will be taking I-275 North / Tampa via the 60 East. Once on I-275 North towards Tampa look for the I4 East (Orlando) Exit 45B. It’s a very straight forward drive but the traffic can be heavy especially if you arrive during rush hour so take your time and don’t panic. You should get plenty on warnings for your junctions as they are very well sign posted.

Once you are on the I4 East follow this for around 55 miles and then take exit 60, which is the 429 Toll North to Apopka. Take the first exit off of the 429 which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash only toll booth so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth go straight over at the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) around for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side.

As you pull into the community there is a Video monitored entry system to the left. When you press the button, an agent will assist you to get in the gate. Only registered guest could enter.

We hope the above directions have helped you find your way to your Formosa Gardens villa and you have a great time in Orlando.

Pool Safety Fences

Most of our Florida villas will either have door alarms on any exterior door that leads to the pool area or a pool safety fence surrounding the pool. Some even both, we have put together a blog post and video showing you how to use the fence. We have also included brief details below.

These are in sections and can be taken down by unclipping and rolling the fence up. Obviously taking the system down will mean you have removed the safety defence and are now susceptible to accidents happening. We recommend that you keep this in place at all times when you have children in the party that are not capable swimmers, and adults are not able to supervise children by the pool area.

Pool safety is extremely important to prevent drowning. The first and best rule to prevent drowning is constant adult supervision for both children and the elderly.

The pool is cleaned on a weekly basis, access to do this is via outside doors within the pool screen.

Wonderful location for extended family gatherings

This house was everything we expected and more. Clean, well maintained, spacious… the highlight being the pool. There was even a selection of pool toys available. All the thoughtful little extras made this one of the nicest rental experiences I’ve ever had!

Lake View Villa

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lake View Villa. The property was beautiful, spacious and clean. Our favorite daily gathering space was the patio/pool area. We enjoyed that feature of the home tremendously. The owner and property manager were very responsive when we had inquiries/issues which made our stay enjoyable as well. We will definitely book with them again in the future.

Thank you for choosing Lakeview Retreat and for sending us a 5* review, we hope to hear from you again soon.
Fantastic Family Villa in a great location - A++++

Lakeview Retreat will not disappoint. Location is just 15 mins from Disney (subject to the traffic on the 192), with a Walmart just 5 mins away. Gated community, extremely tidy and well laid out. Inside you will find each room tastefully furnished and sufficient bathrooms for all to avoid any 'sharing'. We were a group of 11 (6 adults and 5 kids), and we still had a bedroom spare! The villa is equipped with everything you will find that you need (for us this included stair gates and a cot). Outside the pool area is South facing and enjoys day-long sunshine. Ajoining Villas do not overlook the pool area, and with a direct view over to the lake, its a very pleasant place to sunbathe and let the world pass by (after being in the various 'parks'). The separate BBQ and seating area is a bonus. Pat and her US based team are extremely quick to respond to any questions or queries, should you have any. Should we decide to visit Florida again then this will definitely be our villa of choice

July 2023 Vacation

My wife and kids (age 18-20) and Jack Russell stayed here for 6 nights. Best vacation home we have ever rented. The pictures don't do the pool justice - it is incredible. Home and location are perfect for what we wanted (close to grocery and restaurants, attractions, etc.). Played golf at nearby course (3 miles), winery 1 mile away, easy drive to Disney Springs and Universal Studios - even with traffic. Was hard to keep bedroom we used upstairs cool during the day but my daughter didn't spend much time in it and I think that's just what to expect for Orlando in July. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Thank you for your review - any time the AC is too hot please dont hesitate to get in touch as soon as possible in order that this can be checked and rectified, sometimes it is just a case of opening the inlet vent which a guest may have closed as they were cold! We hope to host you again soon.
Great property, would definitely stay again.

Great property, would definitely stay again. House was very nice, very clean, had no issues. We enjoyed everything and the views of the sunset were beautiful.

Beautiful home!

Great, great, great! Our flight arrived a little early and they were very accommodating letting us check in a bit early. Very easy to communicate with and just kind people. House is gorgeous with the pool and lake behind it. Safe neighborhood that is close to restaurants and grocery stores. Lots of towels, lots of kitchen tools, everything nice and clean. Plenty of room for my family of 9. Biggest perk was just how kind both Pat and the management company are - makes you feel good renting from kind people. We will definitely come back!

Spacious, great pool and convenient to parks

Our family spent a week here, going to WDW most days and enjoying the pool other days. The pool was well maintained and clean and there were several floats and water toys for kids to enjoy. We especially appreciated the fenced in area for our doggy. Everything was as pictured, no surprises. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes/pans/silverware. There is a nice Publix grocery store about 12 minutes from the house. We enjoyed the sunsets over the lake and the lanai over the pool made it pleasant to be outside without the mosquitos. We paid extra to have the pool heated and the temperature was perfect. I would have liked to have the AC a bit cooler so fortunately the weather was not too hot when we were there in mid-April, might be an issue in really hot weather. DH had to attend a conference for several days at the Orlando Convention Center. It took him about 25 minutes in traffic. House is convenient to WDW and other attractions, less convenient to the convention center but it was not a big deal. We really liked the layout of the home with 3 bedrooms downstairs, and 3 up. All rooms had nice TV though I don't think we ever turned one on! The pool alarm took a little getting used to and we set it off several times by accident...finally put a "hit the button" note on the doorknob to help us remember, LOL! Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. Owner and management were very responsive and pleasant to work with, everything was well communicated. Would stay again!

Excellent proximity to parks

This property was well maintained and very clean. It had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. Room to spread out, a kitchen full of appliances big and small, an outdoor grill and a great pool for our “down days”. The hot tub was perfect for the cooler evenings. The owner was very responsive whenever I reached out with questions. Being able to use the house alarm system was great with a toddler who is just learning to open doors and the pool door alarms gave us peace of mind for sure! We had no problems at all during our stay! Great property overall.

Great rental home.

The house was very clean when we arrived. The house is great for a large family or even two families, lots of room to spread out. The pool was huge and the hot tub and kiddie pool were great. The owners and management were very nice and helpful. My family really enjoyed their stay here. Very close to all of the Disney parks, restaurants and shopping. Highly recommended.

Lakeview Retreat Formosa Gardens

Suck a wonderful home and Pat is great. There was early communication, Pat was able to give helpful information to make our arrival, stay and departure easy. The location is so close to all the attractions, but at the same time quiet and tucked away for doing nothing. This was our second stay at this home and 3rd stay with Florida Dream Vacations. Pat is great and provide a top experience.

Brilliant 2 Week Stay

Villa was perfect for our party of 7 with rooms to spare! Very spacious and clean with everything you need. Pool area is beautiful overlooking the lake with plenty of wildlife to look out for. Location is brilliant, anything you could need within 5 minutes drive and only 10 minutes to Disney World.

Lovely stay!!

Amazing, clean and spacious villa. Management and owner Pat went above and beyond , I asked for some special balloons to be placed on arrival for an anniversary and when we arrived they were set up beautifully for us. We enjoyed the jacuzzi in the evenings and loved looking over the lake at the wildlife! Beautiful pool which gets the sun all day. We would definitely recommend!

Family vacation for 10 in lovely home

We had a wonderful trip in early April, 2022 with our 10-person family. There were 4 adult couples and two children under 5 enjoying the Orlando theme parks. This property was very clean with a great layout for us to enjoy the family reunion. We spent every day in the pool and in the game room. The home is very close to Animal Kingdom and an easy drive to the other parks. It was safe and well-appointed. The communication with Pat Richardson was superb. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a wonderful vacation home.

Disney family vacation

Our extended family of 10 really enjoyed our stay at this immaculate, roomy house. The location is convenient to all of the parks. Everyone really enjoyed relaxing in the pool and hot tub after busy days in the parks. Pat, the owner was very helpful and responsive to all the questions we had before arrival. We highly recommend this house!

Pristine

Just take a look at the listing photos and double your expectations; the Lakeview Retreat is even more beautiful in person! From the moment we walked in the front door everything was perfection; spotlessly clean throughout, fresh linens and towels, perfectly organized and stocked kitchen, located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood only minutes from everything Disney. Easy check-in and check-out, and local information all provided by the great staff before our arrival. This home was perfect for our family gathering. We will definitely rebook for our next trip to Central Florida!

Couldn’t be better

It was all we could ask for!! The house had ample accessories. It was very clean. The pool and hot tub were excellent. The sunsets looking out over the lake were outstanding. Easy to get in and out of the gated community. An abundance of shopping and eateries within 3 miles from the house. If you’re looking to rent a house you can’t beat this one. We have been visiting Florida for over 10 years ( golf vacation 6 guys) and this house is by far the best we have stayed in. Thanks Pat for a wonderful stay!! Don B. and the guys

Amazing

The house was Amazing!! Even more beautiful in person!! Everyone loved the views from the patio. So spacious!! It was 4 couples and we never once felt crowded. Great Location!! So much to do close to the house. Shopping and many food options close to the house also. Host and owner were very easy to reach if any problems. We only had one and that was our fault. Locked up the keypad but it reset after a few minutes. Master bedroom was huge and absolutely gorgeous!! Loved having direct pool access! House doesn't advertise handicapped accessible but my husband is in a manual wheelchair and easily maneuvered the whole first floor. One step down out to patio, one step down into the game room, and one into house. Shower was large enough that we were able to put his shower chair in it and he had plenty of space. He REALLY loved and appreciated that!! Already looking at rebooking for next year!

Beautiful home. Very well equipped.

This is our go to rental going forward

We had THE most amazing vacation at this home! Pool...beautiful! Interior...beautiful! Neighborhood...amazing! Location...THE BEST! The surround sound inside the home was everything. We started everyday with music and ended it with music. Extremely pet friendly. Hardwoods and tile throughout and a fenced area so our dog didn't have to be tied when she was outdoors. Will definitely book again and again.

Above Expectations!

The house is so grand! So much space for a big family! Every room is so spacious and equipped with high quality furniture and decorated nicely. The house is stocked so well with plenty of towels, kitchen items/utensils and extras all throughout the house. The outdoor pool is way more than just a pool. The deck is incredible along with stunning views of the lake and an amazing sunset each night. The community is so close to all the attractions. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, Spacious, Well Kept Home!

We had a wonderful vacation experience last week (Sept 2020). The owner was a pleasure to work with and quick to respond. The home is clearly well cared for and exceptionally clean. It is located in a safe gated community and equipped with plenty of towels, linens, and kitchenware. The homes spacious floor plan and close proximity to theme parks make it ideal for vacationing families. After spending all day on our feet, we thoroughly enjoyed quiet evenings at ”home”. Our family absolutely loved the screened-in backyard pool and the daily sunsets were spectacular. We are already planning our next trip to Orlando and will definitely stay in this beautiful home again. Highly Recommended *****

Great place to stay with a family!

My kids and I stayed at this beautiful home for the last 2 months while in quarantine. Pat and her team could not have been sweeter, more helpful, or welcoming. Upon arrival the home was spotless, and anything we needed throughout our stay was just an email or phone call away. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. I can’t wait to come back!

AMAZING PROPERTY CLOSE TO ALL THE ATTRACTIONS

As a family of 5 we have stayed at numerous villas in the Kissimmee area on an annual basis since 1996 and everybody agrees this is by far the best villa. The location at Formosa Gardens is perfect as it is literally only a 10 minute drive from the Disney Parks. Whilst it is a short drive away the location of the villa is set in a very peaceful and tranquil setting. We have stayed at numerous locations over the past 30+ years but we all agree both the villa and location are "Premier league". The villa accommodates 12 people and we were concerned it would be too large for a small family of 5 but it has a very homely feel to it and we were pleasantly surprised how comfortable we settled in. The owners have spent a great deal of time (and I dare say money!) on making this a truly remarkable property. The decor is inspirational and the quality of the furnishings and beds is perfect. Whoever decided on the decor needs congratulating. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this villa to anybody seeking a relaxing, peaceful and spotlessly clean holiday villa. We certainly hope to return again one day. Top marks all round!!!!!!

Thank you for your wonderful review - its very gratifying to know that we did a good job with the design and furnishing - which we do ourselves and love doing it. We hope you will stay with us again soon.
Great location, lovely decor, very responsive owne

We had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub for relaxing in the sun. The kitchen was very well stocked for preparing our Thanksgiving dinner, plus the outside grill was awesome for grilling out, too. The home is lovely and obviously well maintained— a slight hiccup with the air conditioning was taken care of and repaired on Thanksgiving Eve. Amazing service, really. We loved, too, the game room and the fact that there were plenty of pool towels and toys! Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday. And we loved the location as it was super close to the ESPN Wide World of Sports where my daughter had a soccer tournament.

Fabulous Villa and even better pool area.

Unfortunatly we only had 5 days in this wonderful villa. The standard of furnishing and rooms were very high. A lot of effort had been put in this home to make it a villa That you will always remember. This is the best villa that we have ever stayed in ( visiting for 30yrs ). A massive pool and outside area made it a great place to sit anytime of the day, shaded or full sunshine your choice, when taking a break from the parks Pat the owner is was brilliant, kept in touch all the time as we booked the villa with very short notice, helped us when we were stuck at the end of our holiday. Many thanks very giving us the opportunity of staying in your wonderful home. Can't recommend it more.

Wonderful time

We had an incredible time staying in your lovely villa. The family including the Baby enjoyed every minute of it. Not one problem to report, area was peaceful, easy to get to the Theme Parks and shopping centres and we were very lucky with the weather. Would certainly visit again and would recommend this property to anyone.

Newly refurbished pool with lake view
Wonderful location for extended family gatherings

This house was everything we expected and more. Clean, well maintained, spacious… the highlight being the pool. There was even a selection of pool toys available. All the thoughtful little extras made this one of the nicest rental experiences I’ve ever had!
