Why Kissimmee Is the Perfect Place to Stay for Your Central Florida Vacation...
And why our newest home in Venetian Bay Villages might be the best home base you'll find
Where you stay shapes your Central Florida vacation. Kissimmee puts you minutes from the theme parks without feeling like another hotel strip.
Here’s why Kissimmee—and our vacation home in Venetian Bay Villages—makes an ideal Central Florida home base.
Kissimmee: Close to Everything, Without the Chaos
Minutes from the major theme parks. Kissimmee sits right alongside Walt Disney World, with Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and Aquatica all a short drive away. You get all the convenience of staying "on property" without the on-property prices.
A destination of its own. Beyond the parks, explore Old Town Kissimmee, Lake Tohopekaliga, historic downtown, and stargazing at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve.
Room to breathe. Kissimmee’s quieter neighborhoods are ideal for families who want real rest between theme park days.
Introducing Our Newest Home: Venetian Bay Villages
Our newest SSTR vacation home is beautifully furnished and located in Venetian Bay Villages, one of Kissimmee’s most popular gated communities.
What makes this community special:
🏊 Multiple Community pools — including the heated main pool with sundecks and a fountain feature at the clubhouse
🕹️ An arcade and game room, plus a movie theater inside the clubhouse
💪 A full fitness center for staying active during your trip
🏀 🎾 🏐 Basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts, right in the neighborhood
🔒 24-hour guard-gated security, so your family can relax and explore with peace of mind
🛝 Playgrounds and picnic areas scattered throughout the community for the little ones
And the location can't be beat:
- About a 15 minute drive to Walt Disney World
- Close to Universal Studios and SeaWorld
- Minutes from Old Town Kissimmee, Lake Toho, and downtown Kissimmee's restaurants and shops
More than a place to sleep, this resort-style community makes staying in as appealing as exploring Kissimmee.
A Home, Not Just a Room
Every SSTR vacation rental, including our Venetian Bay Villages home, includes a full kitchen, comfortable living spaces, free WiFi, and the comforts of home.
