Family villas on quiet gated resorts, a short drive southwest of Walt Disney World
As featured in
The quieter side of Orlando, with Disney down the road
Davenport sits in Polk County, just across the line from Orlando's busier tourist strip, in old citrus country dotted with lakes. It is where many British families end up after doing the arithmetic: Walt Disney World is around a quarter of an hour away, the evenings are calmer, and there is room for a proper house instead of two adjoining hotel rooms.
Our Davenport collection runs to 90+ villas, spread across gated resort communities such as Solterra, Windsor Island and Watersong, and the streets around ChampionsGate. The largest have 10 bedrooms, which makes them a sensible choice for grandparents, cousins and the friends who always come along.
Here is how the area works, what lies beyond the parks and when to come.

Solterra and the ChampionsGate side of Davenport for quick access to Disney and the golf, Windsor Island and Watersong for resort facilities, and Kissimmee next door for more choice.
Gated communities with the work done for you
Most of Davenport's holiday villas sit within gated resort communities, built with visiting families in mind. Solterra, close to ChampionsGate, is one of the best known, with a large resort pool, a lazy river and a poolside café shared by residents and guests. Windsor Island and Watersong follow a similar pattern, with clubhouse facilities for the days nobody wants to queue for anything.
The shops, supermarkets and restaurants of ChampionsGate and Posner Park are a few minutes' drive away, which matters when you are feeding a houseful.

Disney close by, Universal within reach
From most of our Davenport villas, Disney's Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are around 11 to 13 miles away, with Epcot and Magic Kingdom a little further. Universal Orlando and SeaWorld are roughly half an hour or so in reasonable traffic, using Interstate 4.
LEGOLAND Florida lies in the opposite direction, deeper into Polk County, which suits families with younger children. It stands on the site of the old Cypress Gardens and still keeps some of its botanical gardens.
Explore Kissimmee
Fairways, lakes and a singing tower
Golf is the other great pastime here. ChampionsGate and neighbouring Reunion between them have several championship courses, and there are more good clubs scattered through Polk County.
For a gentler day, drive south to Bok Tower Gardens near Lake Wales, where a marble and coquina carillon tower rises above gardens laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. Its bells are played daily. Polk County also has hundreds of lakes, and an early morning on the water is the best way to see Florida's birdlife before the heat builds.
Explore Florida
Key lime pie and the art of timing
Central Florida eats well if you know where to look: grouper sandwiches, Cuban pressed sandwiches and key lime pie, with seafood restaurants of every kind around Kissimmee and Orlando. A barbecue by the villa at dusk is a fine Florida ritual too.
Winter and spring bring warm, dry days and the most comfortable weather for the parks. Summer is hot and humid, with short afternoon thunderstorms, and the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November. The parks tend to be calmer outside the school holidays. Our concierge can arrange transfers, car hire, tee times and park tickets.

The right house, not the nearest one
Davenport's villas are spread across several gated resorts with different facilities and access fees, and we know which put you closest to Disney, the golf or the supermarket. With 90+ properties in Davenport, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Airport transfers from Orlando, car hire, theme park tickets, tee times at ChampionsGate and Reunion, grocery deliveries and restaurant reservations. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
