| Why
should I choose a Windsor Palms home and not a hotel?
Where do we start? The location is
incredible, just 2.5miles from Disney, 5minutes from
I4, and 35mins from Orlando International Airport. The
24hr security gated resort itself is mesmerizing, with
more than 3acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and
an abundance of 1st class amenities. Windsor Palms also
contains some of the most luxurious vacation homes,
town homes and condos in the area. Hotels in the Disney
area can be very expensive; in fact you will probably
pay the same price for one person as you would for the
entire home up to 10 people! In addition you are not
just in one room, you have individual lounge, dining
area, kitchen, bedrooms. If you wish to meet with other
guests you've also got all the resort amenities to share.
A perfect solution to all your holiday needs.
Is the pool
home, townhouse or condo that I’m viewing on your
website, the one I will actually get?
Yes, what you see is what you get. This website has
been compiled using homes owned by Private Families
just like yours. We are unlike regular commercial agencies
that can place you anywhere they see fit, so rest assured
your contract will be direct with the private home owner
as we want you to be happy with your vacation rental
home before you book.

advance exactly what you are renting by viewing inside
each room.
Is this a time
share offer?
