Facilities
Below are the approximate driving distances to the main Orlando theme parks. These are not the distances to the main gate but to the car park for each attraction.
Most journeys to the parks are via highways or the main I-4 Interstate. Driving at speeds of 55-65 MPH makes it quick to get there, and all attractions are well signposted.
- Animal Kingdom - 11 miles
- Hollywood Studios - 13 miles
- Magic Kingdom - 15 miles
- Epcot - 15 miles
- SeaWorld - 21 miles
- Universal Studios - 24 miles
There are a couple of other ways to cut out some of the traffic at busier times along these routes which can be supplied.
Want some time away from the attractions? Why not try NorthEast Regional park, just 2 minutes up the road with 6 artificial turf soccer fields, tennis courts or if you just want to relax walking and jogging trails. Also has a small dock for fishing on the lake.
A little further afield is Lake Louisa State Park, Clermont 4,500 acres of beautiful, real Florida! Just minutes from the area's major attractions,and a 15 minute drive from the house ( 10 Miles ). the park hosts guided horseback rides, guided kayak eco-tours, kayak canoe and bike rentals, fishing, hiking, biking,swimming, and just about anything else you would expect in a natural setting. Home to 20+ miles of trails, 7 lakes, a swim beach, playground, fishing piers, and more, you could spend days on end exploring this treasured gem or why not try a relaxing Hot Air Balloon Ride with Orlando Balloons or Bobs Balloons, You may see these going over the house, while having your morning breakfast by the pool.

Great Villa in a Great Location
Rented this villa in February 2025 for our family. 4 adults and a baby. We were not disappointed! Pre-rental communication was very good with questions answered promptly. Villa itself is spacious, very well appointed and ideal for families with a lovely pool area and pool. Location is ideal with easy access to US27 with Walmart, restaurants etc and US192 with literally dozens of restaurants and the route to Disney! Owners checked all was well when we arrived and kept in touch should we have any questions. Would thoroughly recommend.

An Amazing Beautiful Villa for your Family Holiday
WOW! The Palms at Lake Davenport is amazing, it is beautifully maintained, very clean and tidy with everything that you need for a home from home holiday especially the Games Room which was a hugh bonus for the kids, many table tennis tournaments over the holiday, the Villa was great to come back to after a full day at the parks to relax and chill out. The Villa is situated in a lovely area with lots of restaurants, takeaways and supermarkets near by which was ideal.
From the initial booking right through to arriving back home, Gary and Lorraine were fantastic. The Information that i received prior to departure was exceptional, from the directions from the Airport to the Villa including back roads so you miss the traffic was a great touch and it made you feel very at home.
The highlight of staying at The Palms was that we felt like we were home! and we loved it!!!
Nothing was ever too much trouble for Gary and Lorraine and we hope to return in the near future.
I would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic 2nd stay
Yet another brilliant visit. The weather was amazing (only 1 hour of rain in a fortnight) and I spent days lazing either by the house pool or at the community one just a 2-minute walk up the road. Tips given by the owner helped enormously in cutting out some of the traffic queues in the mornings for the nearby theme parks. In the evenings we either cooked food on the BBQ or went to nearby Margaritaville Resort, where there are loads of restaurants, shops and bars, the owner also told us that on the weekend they hold a classic car show with live bands performing in the evening. Was a fun experience outside of the parks and will definitely visit again.

Davenport villa
Fabulous villa in Davenport. Has everything thing you’ll ever need for a holiday in Florida. Great pool area that we are so pleased we arranged to be heated as the kids were in it early mornings and late evenings as well as during the day. We loved the pool table and dart board in the games room. Great location for everything really. 20 mins to Disney. 30 to universal/I drive area but can be a bit more with traffic but we were lucky on that front. Publix supermarket IHOP and Applebees restaurant 5 mins away. The 192 with a vast array of restaurants/shops 10-15 mins away. Air con worked well so was house nice and cool as very hot outside when we went. Gary and Lorraine extremely friendly and helpful hosts before and during stay. A wonderful villa for a wonderful holiday. Many thanks

Fantastic!!
Right from the first enquiry Gary was extremely helpful and efficient with replies. The overall booking process was very smooth and I even had a phone call from Gary to check I had all the information I needed. Brilliant !!! The Palms is a beautiful 5 Bedroom villa and really did feel like home from home. The Villa was incredibly well equipped. The games room was exactly as advertised and we had many hours of fun. The pool was sparkling and inviting and late night swims after visiting parks are the perfect way to unwind and end the day. The deluxe BBQ was an incredible bonus and we enjoyed multiple evenings with Steak on the BBQ, Cold beer in hand and the kids having fun in the pool. Overall fantastic accommodation and hosts, I cannot recommend highly enough.

The most beautiful villa.
Just returned from a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa. The house was extremely clean with everything you need. Had a couple of relaxing days by the pool after going to the parks and also used the communal pool and facilities a few minutes’ walk from the house several times. Neighbours were very friendly and helpful in a quiet road. This was my first visit to America and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It was easy to get to the parks and I was able to taxi to many restaurants, Margaretville Resort, Disney Springs and Old Town Kissimmee cheaply in the evening which was great fun. I will be rebooking to return next year.

Florida home away from home
This is our second year renting Gary and Lorraine’s Florida home. It was the perfect stay again for us. The house is clean and well maintained. Check in is simple and easy with the lock box code. The location and the neighborhood couldn’t be better, an easy commute from the Orlando airport. There is an abundance of grocery and shopping in the area and restaurants are close by. The pool area is well kept, patio furniture is newer and the outdoor grill is very handy. We couldn’t ask for anything else for a more comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would not hesitate to return should the opportunity be there for a return trip.

Lovely Home
Stayed here for 2 months and was very happy with the home, the pool was an added extra treat that was used almost daily. Very close to everything but traffic was horrible, which is no reflection on the home. Gary Fellows, owner, reached out to us before we arrived to see if we had any questions or needed anything prior to arriving. He the very first rental owner who ever contacted us. Very nice touch. Gary also contacted us while we were in his home to make sure everything was going good, The property managers, Dan & Kelly, were always very prompt to help us with anything. Would definitely Stay here again. I miss it already.

Another fantastic stay at this property
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the property, 6 adults and 2 children with plenty of beds and space to spare. We returned after a stay in 2016. The property is ideally situated in kissimee, very easy to get to and situated in a great location with even more restaurants, bars and services being built near by. Highway 27 2 minutes from the property takes you to all the routes that you require. 90 minutes from Daytona beach, 1 hr 45 mins from clearwater beach and 1hr 10mins to Tampa. This is a great spot for all the disney parks, within 20-25 minutes however it is also a great spot for everything else. Sidewalk bars and restaurants 10-12 minutes away, old town 20 mins and plenty of other attractions. Would highly recommend as a base to be able to explore orlando, florida and all the attractions. Hosts are awesome, on hand to deal with any issues and property is just what you need. IHOP up the road is a great breakfast too. Enjoy

This is everything in a rental accommodation you were hoping it would be. It is a very clean home. The linens and towels are top quality. All you need in a kitchen is here and the gas grill is a huge addition. Check in process is easy and Gary and Lorraine have been great in providing all the instructions necessary for getting settled in quickly. Nice quiet neighborhood, close to so much. We have been coming and staying in this area of Florida for many years and so far this place tops them all. We just hope that this property is available when it is time to come back.

A home from home
Well... where do we start?! We travelled to Florida on 3rd March with our 3 young children (ages 9, 5 and 11 months) and are SO glad we stayed here!! From the moment we booked this beautiful villa, Gary and Lorraine could not do enough to help! Before we set off, Gary and Lorraine sent us lots of information about the villa, the surrounding area, the attractions, directions on how to get to the villa etc - everything we could have possibly needed to know was in the information pack which we printed off and popped in our hand luggage! Added to that Gary and Lorraine also emailed to check if we had any other questions / concerns to ensure we had everything we needed before our trip began! We arrived at the villa and everything was as beautiful as we had expected. The photographs of the living / dining / kitchen area really don’t do it justice as we all gasped when we walked in at beautiful high ceiling and the feeling of openness! All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were really spacious and contained everything we needed - even down to a hair dryer which was a life saver! We settled in very quickly and had everything we needed to make our stay amazing! It was so nice coming back from the parks with the children and jumping into the pool for a cool down and a relax! Our two boys absolutely loved the games room - what a fantastic idea - we had some lovely evenings in there playing pool with them once we’d popped the little one to bed! Unfortunately whilst we were there due to Covid-19 Disney & Universal closed their parks. Luckily this only affected a couple of days out of our holiday but we were so grateful to have this beautiful villa and pool to spend our time in! Gary and Lorraine were in touch straight away, checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. A few days before we were due to fly home it was announced that flights were being cancelled due to Covid-19 and there was a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not we would be able to get home on our scheduled flight! Gary was in touch again to check on us, reassure us and gave us lots of invaluable advice. He also contacted his team over in the US and arranged an alternative property for us to stay in if we needed it. This reduced stress levels dramatically for us and we honestly cannot thank Gary and Lorraine enough for everything they did for us during that time! By the skin of our teeth, we managed to get our scheduled flight home so we were extremely lucky but thanks to Gary and Lorraine we had a back up plan should we have needed it. We cannot recommend this beautiful villa enough. We are hoping to try and rebook for 2022 and the children are so excited to return to their “Florida holiday home”. Gary and Lorraine, thank you so much from us all. You made calm a potentially very tricky situation! You guys were just fantastic and we all so very very grateful. We can’t wait to return to your beautiful villa!!

Such a lovely villa with plenty of place for the family to enjoy! The games room was spectacular where the whole family had something to do!

Fabulous family villa, ideal location for Disney
Gary and Lorraine were wonderful from the initial booking through to our return home. They provided a considerable wealth of information before we travelled, which was really appreciated. The villa was fantastic, very spacious and clean. The villa had everything we needed and the pool was great to unwind in the evenings. The villa is located within easy reach to the Disney and Universal parks. Although we had a hire car, we did use Uber regularly when going out in the evenings which I would highly recommend. We would highly recommend this villa!

Great Villa & Great Host’s
We stayed for 2 weeks, Villa was everything we could ask for, ideal location as well for access to all the theme parks, with shops, takeaways (and a Irish pub) all within a couple of miles. Had to contact Gary & Lorraine a couple of times, always responded and always helpful. We had a fab time, and hope to book ‘the palms’ again in the not too distant future. Steve & Family.

Comfortable villa and great location.
We greatly enjoyed our stay, the villa was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, pots and pans and cooking utensils. The kids enjoyed all the space they had as well as the game room and the private pool. I loved the location, we were so close to everything. Walmart and fast food is literally 5 min away. Dining and shopping a short drive as well. We enjoyed our week, the only thing I will say is that the villa is older and could use a small refresh but for the price it’s excellent. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Great vacation
First off I want to say Gary and his wife are amazing. This place is amazing we had a little issue but Gary was on it and took care of it right away. The house is in a great location. The pool is amazing! The lay out of the house is perfect. My parents went with us and my mom has to walk with a cane. With the 2 full size beds being on the first floor worked out perfect for us. The kids and I didn’t want to honestly leave. The only bad part about the trip was we had to leave. Thank you so much! We look forward to staying again!

Great place, Great Holiday
The Villa was perfect for our family with a nice pool that our two boys loved playing in. It felt like home from home. The first week we visited the weather was scorching hitting 37deg most days so it was always nice to come back from the parks to a cool Villa for a dip in the pool. Everything was in easy reach of the Villa with a large Walmart 5mins away. The games room was a hit with our boys playing pool and table tennis. We would definitely recommend this Villa for other families looking to visit Disney resorts.

Wonderful Vacation Home
This home was wonderfully spacious and tastefully decorated. Centrally located and close to all the major attractions --- Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, Busch Gardens and not too far from the beaches. The grill was great for meals at home. The pool was warm, clear and enjoyed by all from early morning until late into the night.

Fantastic stay
Villa was ideally situated away from the bizz but still close enough to the parks. Kids loved the pool and games room. Only used the local park once and never made it to the tennis courts. We could have done with another week! If we're lucky enough to get back to Orlando, the kids have requested to stay here again. It was perfect and we had so much space. Gary and Lorraine couldn't have made us more welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend!

This home was awesome, the owners were awesome and easy to contact and the management team was just as great!!!..Lovely home and very spacious and the pool and game room was great!... I only have suggestion I would update the pots and pans or get a few bigger ones and update the beds they are kind of squeaky and a lil worn. Other than that this is a perfect villa and I would definitely rent it again!!. I can’t say enough good things about the owner he was really awesome, he allowed us to stay an extra nite and even let the pool heater stay on.

Very comfortable stay at Lake Davenport
Myself and my family (10 in all) stayed at the Palms over a 2 week period in October. We all thorough enjoyed our stay here in this very well appointed house. We found it to be very well located with all the theme parks within easy travelling distance. We frequented the excellent Applebee's restaurant most nights which was barely a 10 minute walk from the house. Would highly recommend this rental.

Absolutely wonderful!!!
Love the location you have everything at your convenience and the beach is about a 45 min. drive but it is worth the drive. this is a memory that my family will never forget. The owners and the management team was just excellent with any questions or tiny simple problems you may have overall amazing property and very well taken care of, so yes make this your rental home and tell all of your friends and family because I am quite sure they would want this experience too....

Beautiful, spacious family villa
I can't recommend Gary & Lorraine's villa enough.. right from the time of booking until after our visit, they kept in touch to ensure everything was running smoothly for us. The house is clean, light/airy and equipped with everything you need for a family vacation. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again the future - thank you G&L!

The best spot in Davenport!
What a great place, all amenities close by, a dozen golf courses within a 35 minute drive. The information provided by Gary is perfect, hard to get lost with that kind of info. The pool was a nice treat after a round of golf, all bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, Thank you Gary, hope to see you next year!!

A real home-from-home, but warmer!
Gary and Lorraine (owners) were brilliant right from the initial contact. They were prompt in their responses and provided loads of information. The house is deceptively large and has everything you could possibly need for your holiday. It is situated in a predominantly residential area, so quiet and peaceful, and convenient to parks, shops, restaurants, etc. Kitchen well equipped and easy to understand, plenty of bedroom space and a good sized pool to splash around in. We would definitely recommend the house and go back again.

Perfect for the Whole Family
We enjoyed staying here while we were visiting the Disney parks. It was great for the whole family from 5 to 75 years old. The home is as pictured. It is clean and the kids especially enjoyed the heated pool and game room. Gary & Lorraine were excellent at responding to any questions leading up to our trip and we appreciated their communication.

Mr
What a fantastic villa, in a fantastic location. From booking right through until two days after we arrived home, the owner Gary was on hand to make sure everything went smoothly. He was very helpful on a special dietary requirement my daughter had and pointed us in the right direction. The villa was clean, tidy and huge. We made the most of the games room and pool area. I'm a regular to Florida and have stayed in hotels at both the major park groups but we, as a family with children aged 9 and 16 have never had such a great time. We will be back.

Perfect for a family holiday in Orlando
When we arrived the place was immaculate. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.. The living room was vast and the photographs do not do it justice. It is joined with the kitchen and It was a pleasure to sit down and eat in. The air conditioning works a treat, and trust me you will need it,. The provided wifi is quick, The pool is sheltered by netting and larger than the photos show. The games room is an extra bonus which is very well equipped. The quality of the house means that this really is a pleasant stay

A great vacation spot
The owners of this home are amazing. The house was perfect fit for the 10 of us. Management is a little bit to handle but Gary and his wife get it done. This is the second time we stayed in The Palms and the location to everything is great. i look forward to booking with them again.

Great family vacation rental
We stayed here in April for a week with our two children and had a great time. The pool was perfect for hot Orlando days and we used it every day we were there. We also loved the close proximity to Disney (about a 20 minute drive). You can even see the Disney fireworks at night from the upstairs at the back of the house! The kitchen had everything we needed to make all three meals and there were plenty of extra towels for pool. The game room is great and had something for everyone. We'd stay here again!

Fantastic in every way!
The house was everything we could have wanted for the whole family to enjoy. We made lots of use of the outdoor pool, relaxing in the evening in the spacious inside including the huge sofa area. We did not use the games room much due to our busy days out but it was fully equipped with lots to keep you entertained. The large kitchen, fridge/freezer allowed us to keep stocked up on all the essential Christmas food to indulge at the house. Would recommend this house to anyone visiting Orlando. Perfect for all family types! Thank you we loved our stay!

Great house in great location
Had the pleasure of staying at The Palms in late August, its the ideal location, being close enough for easy access to all the Disney parks, and just far away enough to provide a break and enjoy other parts of Davenport and the surrounding towns. The house itself has all you should ever need for a successful stay, and the pool table and table tennis tables provided great fun and family entertainment in the evenings over a beer

AMAZING STAY!!!!
Our experience started long before we got there with the owners contacting us regularly to ensure that everything we need and want would be provided. The house was beautiful and amazing, the best we've ever seen. There is no comparing this rental to another nor the service we received from the owners. Gary and his wife are wonderful people, friendly and understanding and I would recommend this rental over and over again to anyone searching you will not find a better deal or a better renter. Our stay was beyond great thanks to the owners!!

Excellent
We travel to Florida regularly staying at different property whenever we're in Florida. This year we wanted a different type of accommodation with swimming pool and more space due to no of us traveling. We found this property contacted the owner (Gary & Lorraine). Since the time we've contacted them, they've been excellent, giving us as much info as possible. Our stay at their property was relaxing and comfortable. The house is clean, swimming pool well looked after, we all enjoyed the gamesroom and we’ll return to this property again.

Fantastic Holiday Home
The property is very spacious equipped with all the usual amenities. My teenage sons loved the games room and the communal tennis and basketball courts. The property is very well situated, 20 minute drive to Disney Parks and 40 minute drive to Universal Parks. The service from the property owners Gary and Lorraine was excellent they contacted me prior to our arrival by phone and e-mail to ensure that I had everything that I would need. This is a fantastic holiday home which I will miss when I return home, looking forward to staying here again.

Perfect Vacation Home
This was a perfect rental for our two families with children aged from 6-16 and we were very pleased. The house had all of the amenities that we required and some great perks such as the game room and laundry room as well. Gary and Lorraine were delightful to deal with. They provided us with all of the info we required and even checked in with us mid week to be sure we were satisfied with everything. Grocery stores are within 5 minutes of the house and we were within half hour to all major theme parks and shopping.

Great accomodation, great location and great owner
The property is located 20-25 minutes from main parks so is perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle after a day spent in the Universal, Disney, etc. The location also has enough shops, restaurants, and pubs nearby. The owners Gary and Lorraine were great to deal with, it seemed as thought they couldn't do enough to help with our stay. The house is a bright modern property with large clean rooms with a good games room and nice pool.

Now have the Florida bug
From beginning to end this holiday has been fantastic. This is the nicest villa we have rented and from the best most helpful couple. Gary and Lorraine have been excellent in everything they have done for us and nothing has been a problem. We would definitely recommend and would love to return in the not so distant future. We shopped in the malls screamed at the parks got wet a lot rainy season but warm rain and really needed when it's 85 degrees. Many thanks again for all the help Gary and Lorraine.

Spacious, clean and comfortable – Excellent stay.
Lovely house in excellent condition and safe area. Clean with plenty of towels, bedding, etc. Kids loved the pool and there were plenty of chairs and recliners (with cushions/pads). Wi-fi available and huge range of TV channels. About 30 minutes to Universal without traffic hold-ups. Easy access to supermarkets and restaurants. Would definitely recommend house to others. Owner was efficient and friendly, telephoning and emailing before arrival and texting during stay.

Fantastic clean home and close to the Disney Parks
My wife and I stayed over Xmas 2013 with our two children and nephew. House was immaculate to say the least. Used the pool and it was heated throughout our two week stay. Kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of towels available. House is very spacious and met our needs . Wifi is included plus local US calls. TV in all the rooms and the pictures do not do it justice (its actually nicer) Takes about 10-15mins to get to the Disney Parks and Wal-Mart is 10 mins away We look forward to stopping there again
