Location
Champions Gate villas and vacation rentals on the Retreat in Orlando, Florida. NO SERVICE FEE
Over 150 Champions Gate Florida villas on the Retreat at Champions Gate located only minutes from Disney World, Orlando. Close to shops, restaurants and supermarkets the Champions Gate resort is an ideal place for your dream holiday. The main entrance to the Champions Gate is located on HWY27 in Davenport almost opposite Tuscan Ridge if you are familiar with this community.
There is another entrance to the Champions Gate Resort via HWY54 (Ronald Reagen Pkwy). It's almost opposite the entrance to the West Haven community. When heading along HWY54 turn down Westside Blvd and follow this around until you see the entrance to the Champions Gate Resort. Personally this is the entrance we use as it's closer to all the shops, restaurants and I4 exit.
Speaking of Champions Gate restaurants we have put together a blog post listing the main restaurants available. Our favourites are Millers Ale House and Chilis.
The Champions Gate Orlando villa community is made up of smaller sub-divisions much like nearby West Haven. We currently have vacation rentals on The Retreat at Champions Gate, offering rental homes from 6 - 9 bedrooms.
Champions Gate Villas minutes from Disney
The Retreat at Champions Gate community has between 600-700 Orlando vacation rentals as well as a stunning 16,000 sq ft clubhouse called the Oasis at Champions Gate. Inside the Oasis clubhouse there is a state of the art fitness room, dance studio, kids play room, 26 seater cinema, computer room, small shop selling soft drinks and snacks as well as kids arcade games. There is also a full restaurant serving food from 11am daily.
As part of the Oasis clubhouse there is a water park which has a large resort pool with private cabanas, water slides, lazy river, kids splash park, Tiki Bar, kids play area and volley ball courts, they also have daily entertainment run by the onsite staff. The Oasis Clubhouse and Water Park is open to all on site guests who have unlimited use.
The Oasis clubhouse at ChampionsGate is open from 8am - 10pm daily, pools open from 10am - 10pm with food and drinks from 11am - 10pm.
We visited the Champions Gate Oasis clubhouse and water park and have captured lots of photos and videos which you can view on our blog at The Retreat at Champions Gate / Oasis Clubhouse.
Below is a aerial video shot by a local Orlando realtor which shows you the Oasis Clubhouse and waterpark as well as an overview of the whole Champions Gate villa rental community which I hope you agree looks very impressive.
As well as being a great location for holidays these luxury vacation rentals work well for business travellers attending a conference at the nearby Omni Champions Gate hotel. So why not mix business and pleasure and stay in one of our luxury spacious Champions Gate villas next time you are in Orlando.
We will be adding more Champions Gate villas and reviews as they become available but the current Orlando vacation rentals we have are able to sleep up to 16-20 guests in comfort. This is great location for your next Orlando vacation with SeaWorld and Universal Studios less than 20 minutes, Orlando International Airport (MCO) around 30 minutes and Sandford Airport about an hour.
Within 60-90 minutes you also have Tampa on the Gulf Coast with the beaches of Clearwater, Fort DeSoto Park and many more. If you like to surf, then on the Atlantic Coast you have Cocoa Beach and the whole stretch of the A1A highway which has miles of beaches. This is all within 90 minutes of the vacation rentals at Champions Gate making a great day trip or mini overnight break during your stay in Orlando.
VRBO Champions Gate Rentals Direct by Owners
To book one of our luxury VRBO Champions Gate villas please contact the owners direct using the contact form on each of the listings. You only need to enter your dates and details once and they will be copied from one page to the next making it quick and easy to contact multiple owners. We hope you enjoy your stay at these Champions Gate rentals.
The Country Club at ChampionsGate golf course is open to the public with green fees from $40 - $90 per round depending of the time of day you play. I expect these rates to be lower in the summer months but during the winter golf is always more expensive in Florida.
I was lucky enough to play The Country Club at Champions Gate course 3 times in the first two weeks of opening and was very impressed with the layout of course and the condition, which was excellent. The fairways are wide and running which is unusual for courses in this area as they all tend to be pretty soft so play longer than the yardages suggest. The greens are very fast and undulating which takes some getting used to but I founf them a fantasic surface to putt on.
I would say The Country Club at Champions Gate is currently one of the best courses in the area and a must if you are looking to play some golf while on your Orlando villa holiday.
We have luxury Champions Gate villas available so if you are looking for a short golf break this would be an ideally base for you with other nearby courses like Highlands Reserve, Southern Dunes, Mystic Dunes and of course the other Champions Gate courses which are Greg Norman designed. Interestly this course (The Country Club at ChampionsGate) is nothing to do with the other Champions Gate courses even though they share similar names.
The nearby Omni Champions Gate hotel is ideal for a one or two night stay but if you are looking for an exteneded stay then these spacious luxury villas are a great alternative.
Communities near The Retreat at Champions Gate
If you can't find what you are looking for on the Retreat at Champions Gate then below is a list of other nearby Orlando rental communities.
Pool Safety Fences
Most of our Florida villas will either have door alarms on any exterior door that leads to the pool area or a pool safety fence surrounding the pool. Some even both, we have put together a blog post and video showing you how to use the fence. If there are no children in your party then you can take it out and rolling it up in the corner if you prefer but please put it back when you leave the villa, ready for the next guests.

House was wonderful & the pool worked perfectly
Would recommend Jenny and Patrick. Very friendly and welcoming, always responsive and helpful. The house was wonderful and the pool worked perfectly and was heated as we had ordered.
The gated area makes you feel safe. It's close to eating places and Publix which is a really good grocery store with everything.
Can only highly recommend!

The home truly feels magical!
We loved our stay! The home truly feels magical with all the attention to detail and decor. We had everything we needed for our stay and more. The community resort is one of the nicest. We enjoyed an entire day just hanging out by the pool and enjoying the amenities. The game room is a lot of fun. We had a few air hockey duels during our stay. Jenny and Patrick are great hosts and are very responsive to any questions! Highly recommend!

It truly was our dream vacation home!
We stayed at The Magic Portal House in September and it more than exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely amazing and it truly was our dream vacation home. When searching for a villa to book, this one stood out to us and the hosts Patrick and Jenny were really great to deal with throughout the booking stages. Patrick and Jenny, were incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was as enjoyable as possible. They were always available to answer our questions and more than happy to provide tips to help us make the most of our park tickets. Patrick and Jenny were such phenomenal hosts. They were kind and very responsive throughout our trip, and they truly went above and beyond to make our stay the best we've ever experienced. Even when our flights were cancelled, they were quick to extend our stay (twice).
The house is located in a very safe, quiet, gated neighbourhood in Championsgate close to the Walt Disney World Resort. The location was very convenient, with easy access to restaurants and grocery stores in Championsgate. There is club house with lazy river which is only a short 5 minute walk.
Each room, with its own different Disney theme, artwork, and decor were amazing! Our boys never wanted to leave the house.. they absolutely loved the games room and the pool and were always fully entertained on non park days. In all honesty, our boys preferred ‘stay at home’ days. The house was clean and spacious and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could ever need.
Overall, our experience at this Villa was nothing short of exceptional, and we are already planning our next visit. Thank you, Patrick and Jenny, for your outstanding hospitality and for creating such a welcoming and enjoyable environment for our family. We highly recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a memorable place to stay in the Championsgate area! We are so pleased that we booked The Magic Portal House.

Magical Disney Vacation
This Magical Portal House is certainly
Magical. We have today 28th August, returned home to the UK after spending 3 weeks in this amazing house. The pictures don’t do it justice. You have to be there in person to appreciate how wonderful this house is. The attention to detail in each and every room is something I haven't seen before. We fully recommend this rental property to anyone who wants a magical Disney holiday
Owners Patrick and Jenny have been absolutely amazing in sorting everything out for us. We have definitely received 5 star customer service. The communication from them all the way through the booking process has been first class.
You have everything you need and more in this amazing house.
Thank you both for making our dream vaccination possible.
The house is situated in Champions Gate just off Interstate 4 making the journey to Disney and Universal easy in around 25 and 40 minutes respectively. Directions from Patrick and Jenny to and from the airport were spot on. As we are from the UK, we appreciated that very much.
Our grandchildren loved The themed rooms. The house was spotlessly clean. The pool and Tron games room were perfect for unwinding after a long day around the parks.
Overall a perfect house, location and a magical holiday.
Thank you Patrick and Jenny

Galore of baby amenities and accommodations
We stayed here for my son's 2nd birthday vacation to Disney! It was amazing! The pictures don’t do this place justice. Not too far from parks and in a quiet area. We’re planning to come back just to enjoy the home itself. Galore of baby amenities and accommodations. Excellent host, communication, and perfect property. This has now become our number 1 stay ever! We love everything about it and looking forward to our next stay, hopefully before the end of the year.

Highly recommend this home and the hosts!
Highly recommend this home and the hosts! They were extremely responsive and accommodating to our requests. The resort is walking distance. They have so much to do near by when you're not visiting the parks. The house was big and spacious and the details and decoration were the cherry on top for me. The kids had such a blast, especially with the game room. Everything was clean. The beds were comfortable and the couch downstairs was my FAVORITE. I'm trying to find out where I can find that couch to buy.

Our hosts made sure we had everything we need
This home was more than we expected! Disney themed throughout the whole house and in each room, the whole family loved it! The home was very spacious, neat and clean. The game room and pool/hot tub were enjoyed a lot! Extra perks that made our stay more enjoyable were all the free amenities from pool games, toys, books, a baby gate on top of the stairs, crib, strollers, playpen and, mats to name some.

Great location in Champions Gate. Love how easy it was to get to the community pool/lazy river. Hosts were always proactively reaching out so I had all the information needed for a seamless check-in and they offered great ideas for our stay. Everything felt easy and accessible. The home was clean and welcoming upon arrival. The pool and hot tub were the perfect temps (February can still be a bit chilly so we opted for pool heating). Every room had a Disney theme which was fun for the whole family. Highly recommend!

Our experience at this Villa was exceptional!
We recently stayed at this fantastic Villa in Championsgate, Florida for 18 nights in from January 25th, 2024, and it exceeded all our expectations. Our family of 8, including our youngest son who is Autistic, felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The spacious accommodations provided plenty of room for all of us, and our son was especially thrilled with the Avengers themed room, which became his favorite spot in the villa.
The location couldn't have been more convenient, with easy access to restaurants and grocery stores in Championsgate. Additionally, the short five-minute walk to the Club House was a huge bonus, as our children had an amazing time in the Lazy River and Play Area. The owners, Patrick and Jenny, were incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was as enjoyable as possible. They were always available to answer our questions and provided valuable tips to help us make the most of our park reservations.
Overall, our experience at this Villa was nothing short of exceptional, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Patrick and Jenny, for your outstanding hospitality and for creating such a welcoming and enjoyable environment for our family. We highly recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free holiday in the Championsgate area!

I was blown away by this property!
The themed rooms fit so well with the most magical place on earth, and this home was definitely any kid’s paradise. The entire place was extremely kid-friendly from the artwork and toys down to the cribs, stroller and stairs gate our hosts provided. Jenny and Patrick are thorough, attentive and kind, and the home was spotless upon entry. The game room was a true highlight for our family! I have nothing but positive things to stay about this visit, and doubly so because it made my daughter’s birthday an absolute dream. My children had a blast, as did I, and we hope to be back soon!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Magical Portal
We absolutely loved our stay at the Magical Portal! From the moment we walked in we felt comfortable, at home, and our kids (and parents!) were full of excitement due to all the Disney touches all over the house! The house was extremely clean, the amenities were great and I can't say enough about the fun bedrooms, pool, game room and lanai. We could have spent days just enjoying the house! Jenny and Patrick kept in touch with us from the moment we booked until the final days of our stay. They were prompt with any questions we had and were knowledgeable about the area. We would LOVE to stay at the Magical Portal again and would recommend it to anyone heading to Florida!

Kids shrieked with excitement at the Game Room!
Wow! Where do I even start? I planned this vacation almost a year in advance. We had never been to Florida before. I wanted this vacation to be perfect since two of my kids were reaching milestone birthday's. Jenny and Patrick eased all of my worries and helped me plan a flawless vacation. They were more than helpful and they answered all of my questions all throughout the planning and our stay.
When we arrived at the home (after a very long flight) everyone was in awe of how beautiful the home was decorated. Every room had a creative and unique Disney theme. My kids shrieked with excitement when they saw the arcade. They loved it so much that they did not want to go to the Disney theme parks. We could have stayed at the house all week and they would have been happy!
We all enjoyed the pool and the spa, and my husband loved the many large tv’s to watch all his favorite sports games on.
This vacation was a special and very memorable one. We will most definitely stay here again.

Married comfortability & extravagance perfectly
The amount of detailed effort that has been put into this home is absolutely amazing. Very comfy layout, 2 bdrms downstairs, attached bathrms & 4 bdrms upstairs, comfortable living rooms on each floor & the pool is big enough to accommodate all the guests this home fits with a bathroom right off the patio so that the entire home does not get wet and slippery. All of the added decor & real art on the walls makes this home feel so exciting & beautiful . The hosts have married comfortability & extravagance perfectly within this home. The doors leading to the patio/pool have alarms that sound when opened. Our youngest son (4) is nonverbal and has autism and loves water but needs Floaties. One morning during our stay, the alarm woke us up, we ran downstairs & were able to get our son before he could try to unlock the gate & head into the pool without his gear. Because of this we are so unbelievably thankful for this feature, it is life saving. The hosts were wonderful & very helpful in many ways!

The attention to detail was jaw dropping
Wow! I've used vacation rentals for my travels for about 5 years. This is the first and only stay that has truly gone above and beyond. 5 stars and a public review is the very least that I can do after receiving this world class magical treatment. A most hospitable host!! This team is not messing around, lol! They are serious about making your stay as perfect as possible! From answering questions at lightening speed to being so extremely accommodating it was surreal, this place and the team was truly magical. Now for the house itself. The kids did not want to leave the game room! The pictures don't do the theme bedrooms any justice, especially the kids rooms upstairs. The attention to detail was jaw dropping. Everytime we saw a detail we were amazed all over again by how attentive the hosts were to making this a unique and immersive stay. My family and I would love to come back for more trips! A magical portal indeed! Don't hesitate! Book it now!

The house was even better than it looks in picture
My family and I have not long come back from the most amazing stay at the Magical Portal House. The house was absolutely amazing, and even better than it looks on the pictures. From all the little details like the personalized Spotify playlists for each themed room, every single kitchen appliance you could ever need including a mickey waffle maker, baby equipment galore like games, playpens, highchairs etc. The list is endless. Not only does it have a fantastic pool and plenty outside seating areas along with giant tic tac toe game, it also has the most amazing games room with every game imaginable across all of the consoles. All the TV's had most streaming platforms already installed like disney plus and Netflix etc which was perfect for chilled nights in, especially when the living room sofa is the comfiest sofa I have ever sat on in my life! No words or pictures can begin to justify just how amazing this house is, it really does need to be seen to be believed. We will not hesitate to book in the future and can not wait to come back!

This was a perfect size for the family
This was a perfect size for the family. We had more than enough room. The kids loved the rooms and especially the pool. Jenny and Patrick were very responsive when I did have a couple of questions. Insta cart was able to make deliveries right to the door. Would highly recommend this home for your family vacation.

This house is AMAZING! The hosts were amazing!
This house is AMAZING! Even more, the hosts were amazing! Jenny and Patrick were extremely responsive and friendly. I thought some of the characters in the house were stickers from the pictures, but this a house full of beautiful art. The muralists did a phenomenal job. We had a couple very, very minor hiccups during our stay but they were handled so quickly after contacting the hosts. The setup of the house is great for a multi-family stay. Almost everyone has their own space and bathroom. The beds were super comfortable and the baby amenities helped tremendously by keeping our packing list small. It was such a great stay, and we would definitely rebook if we do another stay in Orlando!

Baby items helped us out a lot
We had 4 adults and 7 children ranging from 1 to 10 years old. There was plenty of space for everyone. There was enough dishes and utensils for all. The kids loved the space and the game room. The pool was warm and inviting. Place was better than what the photos depicted. Felt larger than the photos. The house is close to the grocery store which was very convenient. Baby items helped us out a lot also. Would recommend this home to anyone.

We really liked some of the safety features
Wow, where is the six stars button?
We were looking for a warm getaway from Maryland for our spring break. We looked at dozens of places before finally deciding on Jenny and Patrick's Magic Portal House. Our family of 5 and Grandma too arrived to find a beautiful house. We picked it because we wanted a pool with hot tub and plenty of room for all of us.
This was our first time booking a vacation rental and we couldn't have been happier. My kids loved the themed rooms, the heated pool and of course the hot tub. The game room was also a hit. The kitchen was nicely equipped, we had everything we needed. We really liked some of the safety features of the house. The pool alarm, safety fence around the pool and the gate blocking the top of the stairs kept our 4 year old safe. We also took full advantage of the community pool. Lots of fun for the kiddos.
We can't imagine how this place could have been better. From start to finish this vacation went so smoothly.
Thank you Jenny and Patrick!

Kids loved the time spent at the home
We had a gathering with family and kids at Jenny's and Patrick’s place. The kids loved the time spent at the home as much as they loved going to the parks. In fact some of the kids and parents chose to skip going to the parks to spend time relaxing at the pool at home. Don’t forget to keep a day aside to spend at the clubhouse. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home.

The pool is perfectly located to have sun all day
We had a wonderful stay at the Magical Portal House. The home was very clean and welcoming upon our arrival and was exactly as described. Our family loved the pool/spa and spent the majority of our vacation there. The pool is perfectly located to have sun all day. The game room was a great space to take a break from swimming and was fun for all ages with the air hockey and fuseball tables. There are several restaurants and Publix within an easy drive of the home. We will definitely book this home again in the future. Thank you for everything!

Every amenity you need if you have small children
My family and I really enjoyed staying in this house! It was decorated beautifully. We loved the themes in each area of the house. The beds and couches were comfortable. We loved that there were two living room areas. They have every amenity you could need if you have small children. The game room was awesome. The kitchen had everything you need. The house was clean. The location was perfect. We have stayed in quite a few vacation rentals and this house is definitely one of our favorites. Jenny and Patrick were great hosts who were helpful and quick to respond. We would stay again!

The peace and quiet in the hot tub was my favorite
I wish I could have stayed longer!! The owners are so amazing and helpful! The neighborhood is in a gated community which was a plus for me. The way every room had a different theme was amazing! The kids fell in love with the blacklight and arcade room. The peace and quiet while enjoying the hot tub was my favorite! I will definitely be back! Thank you again for allowing my family to make our memories in your beautiful house.

This place exceeded our expectations
First of all, the pictures posted of the Portal House don’t do it justice!! This place exceeded our expectations when we arrived for our week-long stay. Very spacious with great layout for two families with our kids. Game room was a big hit for the kids, and each room was well decorated with different Disney themes for both girls and boys-but not too overwhelming.
Jenny and Patrick were awesome hosts. From the moment we booked to check-out, they were super responsive and helpful in making sure our stay was comfortable and stress-free, even with some random questions (i.e. Can we get Amazon delivery? YES!). We had an issue with the jet-spa, which they took care of it immediately on a weekend! Jenny and Patrick really went above and beyond, even providing recommendations catered specific to our group. The Portal house is located in a quiet gated community, close to Disney (20 mins) and Universal (35 mins), with grocery store (Publix) and restaurants near by. Highly recommend this place

The Disney themed rooms and arcade were a huge hit
Really enjoyed our stay at the Magical Portal House. Jenny & Patrick are top-notch, awesome hosts. They were very responsive and thoughtful. They gave us Disney World suggestions, which were great, connected us with a vendor to set up amazing birthday decorations & cake order/pick up, and made sure all went smoothly. The house: Wow! All was just as described (and more!) and pictures were accurate. The Disney themed rooms and arcade were a huge hit. There is even Disney theme music for each room! The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen well supplied with everything you need, plenty of space for large groups, very comfortable furniture, great pool and hot tub. The property is a great location if visiting all things Disney & is in a nice gated community. This place will not disappoint and you could not ask for better hosts. The Magical Portal house complimented our Disney World trip by keeping the “Magic” throughout our vacation. 5 Star Plus!
