Private Family Stays in Florida This Summer

For many families, Florida represents the dream summer getaway. Perennial sunshine, thrilling theme parks, family-focussed entertainment, and miles of golden beaches. Your Travel Counsellor can arrange private villa stays within dedicated resorts for your stay in the Sunshine State, ensuring you’ll have all the facilities you’ll need to enjoy a home-away-from-home experience. What’s more, these private homes put you within easy reach of the state’s best attractions like Universal Orlando Resort™ and Walt Disney World Resort.

Availability is understandably filling up fast over the school holidays, so don’t delay in getting in touch to book your spot. The below resorts still have openings through peak season.

Windsor Hills Resort

As one of the nearest holiday communities to Walt Disney World Resort, Windsor Hills is a fantastic choice for families who want to stay just moments from Orlando's top theme parks. Outside of the community you'll find a range of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues close by and Florida's beautiful coastal areas can be reached in just over an hour.

A stay in one of the resort's five- and six-bedroom homes will grant you the privacy of your own pool along with a range of facilities based around the clubhouse, including a lagoon-style pool with a two-story water slide and a 40-seat movie theatre. This secure community is gated 24/7 allowing you to holiday with total peace of mind.

Windsor at Westside

One of the newest villa communities in Orlando and the Kissimmee area, the Windsor at Westside Resort provides a peaceful retreat just moments from all the action. This gated community offers a selection of spacious six, seven, eight and nine-bedroom villas each with a private pool.

When you’re ready for time away from Orlando's thrilling theme parks, this resort offers plenty to keep the whole family entertained with its lagoon-style swimming pool, multi-purpose sports court, state-of-the-art fitness centre and arcade.

Champions Gate

As one of Orlando’s premier tourist destinations — encompassing some 1,500 acres southwest of The Walt Disney World Resort — Champions Gate welcomes you to stay amongst its towering palm trees within this gated community.

The resort features 36 holes of championship golf designed by international golf champion Greg Norman, and a 35,000 square foot clubhouse which features a pro shop, a full-service banquet facility that accommodates up to 300 guests, and a full-service bar.

Villa here all feature private pools, spacious kitchens with stainless steel appliances and laundry facilities, with the largest options reaching up to nine bedrooms making them ideal for larger families or groups of friends.

Solana

Offering a wonderful selection of four, five and six bedroom villas, Solana Resort puts you just minutes from Orlando’s top attractions whilst providing a peaceful retreat for your family getaway.

On those long languid summer days, soak up the sunshine around the large swimming pool on one of the sun loungers or find shade in any of the poolside cabanas.

Walt Disney World is just 20 minutes away or if you head east for just over an hour you’ll find yourself on the Space Coast where the famous Kennedy Space Centre awaits, while heading west will see you arrive amongst the beautiful beaches of the Gulf Coast within an hour.

Solterra

Surrounded by clear lakes and top-rated golf courses, Solterra Resort enjoys a backdrop of lush green scenery, away from the bustle or Orlando’s premier theme parks, with miles of walking trails for you to wander.

All of the villas here have five or six bedrooms and feature their own private pool. When you’re not enjoying the luxury of your private home, the resort has its own gym, tennis court, beach volleyball court and a swimming pool with a kids’ splash zone, waterslides and poolside cabanas.
