Florida Villas and Beaches

This fourteen night Florida escape moves from the energy of Orlando’s theme parks to the easy pace of the Gulf Coast. Spend your first week in a spacious villa near Walt Disney World, with room to relax, cook and reset between park days. The second half of the trip slows everything down on Anna Maria Island, where a beachside villa, wide sands and calm Gulf waters shape days that are unplanned and easy, ending with relaxed evenings by the water.
