    Windward Cay, Kissimmee, Orlando, Florida

    Our villa is situated just after “The Little White Chapel” at marker 14 on the 192 & before the Medieval Times Castle and Wal-Mart.

    Hiring a car is essential, and weekly rates are fairly reasonable. You can pick up your car at either airport. Orlando International is a half hour drive from the villa, whilst SanfordAirport is approximately an hour away. Most scheduled airlines, including Virgin, use Orlando International, Air tours; Unijet, etc use SanfordAirport.

    Local Attractions

    Windward Cay is just 8 miles from World Drive, the entrance to Disney World, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios and Typhoon Lagoon

    The 47 square miles of Disney World are all connected by shuttle-bus, ferry and monorail. Disney Hopper Plus Passes, allow you to visit more than one of the 4 main Disney Theme Parks on the same day, and offer complimentary use of the Walt Disney World Transportation System.

    Sea World, Discovery Cove, Universal Studios and the NewIslands of AdventureTheme Park are all within 30 minutes drive away.

    Sea World is the largest MarinePark in the World, and home of “SHAMU” the killer whale. Enjoyable for all age groups.

    Discovery Cove is a new tropical paradise where you can swim with dolphins, snorkel with rays and tropical fish, or just relax on the white sand beaches and get the best tan ever.

    Universal Studios now offer 2 amazing theme parks, and non-stop nightlife. Experience the action and excitement of the movies at UniversalStudiousTheme Park and the incredible universe of myths, legends and Super Heroes at the new Islands of Adventure.  

    Nearer home is Kissimmee Old Town, which boasts shops, restaurants, amusement rides, and Classic Car Shows every Friday and Saturday. Still enjoyable just to have a walk around in and out of the shops or stop for a bite to eat.  If you want to explore further a field, Busch Gardens and the Gulf Coast delights of Tampa, Clearwater and St Petersburg are within easy reach.

    On the Atlantic coast the superb beaches around Cape Canaveral, and the Kennedy Space Centre are less than an hours drive away
