Location
Formosa Gardens Estates is arguably one of the closest communities to Disney World. This luxury gated community has premium Orlando vacation rentals making this a very popular location. NO SERVICE FEES
Formosa Gardens in Florida offers an exclusive development of spacious, executive 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and even 9 bedroom vacation rentals and villas, so can cater for parties of all sizes. Most of our Formosa Garden Florida villas have oversized plots, with fabulous pools, spas and extended decks. Many of the Formosa Gardens vacation rentals have the additional benefit of internal games rooms, and even home cinemas! The wide boulevards and palm fringed streets add to the spacious feel of this Florida community, we have homes on Spinning Silk Court, Sea Pearl Circle, Emperor's Orchid Court, Formosa Boulevard, Rising Sun Court and Plum Blossom Court.
Built around a central lake (Star Lake), many of these Formosa Gardens Florida villas have fabulous lake views. This executive community is an ideal holiday location for families. Formosa Gardens gated community is located off Kissimmee's Hwy 192 West at Mile Marker 4 - less than 3 miles from the Disney theme parks, so that you can be first in the gates each morning!
What makes Formosa Gardens sort after is the size and layout of the homes as most of them have larger than normal plots, pools and are general living space. There are also a number of custom built homes like St Georges Manor which is 8,500sq ft and has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathroom as well as a lagoon pool. It's elegant furnishing, home cinema, large balcony over looking the pool are unlike anything else you will find in a normal vacation rental and it's homes like this that make Formosa Gardens villas very sort after.
Once inside the gates of Formosa Gardens you will feel a world away from the busy Orlando theme parks but once you have had some chill time and are ready for dinner and drinks you have a huge choice right on your door step. Less than two minutes in the car on Formosa Gardens Blvd which is right out of the gates and you have an Outback Steakhouse which is an International chain restaurant serving steaks, obviously as well as fish dishes, wings and there famous Bloomin Onion.
Just a bit further down the road you have a newly opened sports bar called Buffalo Wild Wings which serves burgers & fries plus pitchers of beer and is a great place to watch all of the days games and has a great atmosphere when the matches are live so if sports are your thing this is the place for you. There is also a Red Lobster almost next door serving fresh seafood, clam chowder which I love, also steak and chicken.
Less than 5 minutes from our vacation rentals on Formosa Gardens is Rolling Oaks Commons which has a number of restaurants as well as a Super Target super market. From Formosa Gardens head back out to HWY192 and then turn left and head about about a mile down where you will come to some traffic lights, either side you will see a number of restaurants. Located here you have Millers Ale House which is another sports / family restaurant which have nightly specials so check out menu to see whats cooking. On the opposite corner is an Applebees, and then across the road you have Longhorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, Olive Garden, Logans Roadhouse plus a few other like Flippers Pizzeria and Sweet Tomatoes for salad lovers!
As you can see you have access to more than enough restaurants while staying at Formosa Gardens to keep everyone in the family happy. There are of course the usual fast food restaurants nearby like McDonalds, Taco Bell, Burger King for that late night snack or 4th meal as Taco Bell call it and if you love subs you have Subway right there, my favourite is a meatball sub!
Whilst staying at your luxury vacation rental on Formosa Gardens should you need medical help there is a walk-in medical center at Formosa Plaza and a number of pharmacies nearby.

Brilliant location & family base for a wonderful D
My husband, 6yr daughter, 10mth son, my parents & I spent New Year at Disney whilst staying at this wonderful property. The property is a real home from home experience with everything you would wish to have at your finger tips. The kitchen & condo is fully equipped with everything imaginable. The condo is in a great location literally not even a 2 minute walk to Formosa Garden Blvd which is lined with various restaurants & supermarkets. No more than 15 minutes drive to Disney - Perfect! The condo is so big & decorated lovely with lots of space for a crawling baby and 6yr old to play. My parents had the master bedroom overlooking the lake enabling us to have the kids with us at other end of the condo which meant we didn't wake them in the morning when the baby was up at 5am! We hope to return again very soon!!

Very well-appointed condo in the perfect location!
I strongly recommend this unit for several reasons. The unit is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. I knew there would be plenty of space for us, but the unit was even bigger and better than I expected. Our trips to Orlando are busy with a lot of walking, and this place felt like home as soon as we walked in and was the perfect spot to rest and recover for the next day! The kitchen was very well-equipped to make any meal, and the owner has all of the little extra's that you would need. Both bedrooms were spacious, and the three full baths made getting ready in the morning so much quicker! The very private screened-in balcony has a beautiful view of the lake and assures that you will not get bitten by any bugs! There is plenty of room on the balcony to enjoy coffee and breakfast while taking in the nature that is all around you. This condo is in a gated community with plenty of nearby restaurants. We visited Universal, which was an easy 25 minute drive, as well as Kennedy Space Center (highly recommended). We did not visit Disney this time, but that is probably 10 minutes away. Important to add is that the owner, Chris, was absolutely amazing and easy to deal with. She offered us a very early check in which was really appreciated!! She also gave us an extra hour to check out which was so helpful! I would strongly recommend this unit to any family, and I would definitely stay here again when I return. Thanks, Chris!!

Perfect Stay
“We were very comfortable here during our week visiting Disney and Universal. My husband and I were traveling with our adult daughter and her boyfriend. The condo was very spacious. The screened-in deck was a great spot to have morning coffee or to read. We didn't hear anyone else during our stay; it was very quiet. I like to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed. We made much use of the pool and hot tub. We did not have a car with us and used Uber and Lyft to get to the Disney parks each day. It cost between $8 and $12 depending on the park and the time of day. Very reasonable considering parking at Disney starts at $22 a day. We really enjoyed the jungle mini-golf next door, and the Winn Dixie was a great place to get groceries (although a bit expensive), those travelling by car would be wise to pick up groceries somewhere cheaper. There were a number of restaurants nearby as well, all of them chain restaurants like TGI Fridays and Red Lobster. Communication with the property owner went very smoothly and she responded promptly when I had a question. Staying here was SO MUCH nicer than being in a cramped hotel room or dealing with the crowds at the big resorts. Very peaceful and comfortable. I think this is a perfect condo for two couples or families with older children...I would not recommend it to a family with young children unless the kids were really well behaved - there are too many things a child could break.”

Quiet & serene, the perfect condo
We have stayed in many condos over the years but this was the nicest and best location we have found. tastefully furnished and very comfortable, we felt immediately at home very spacious with two separate lounges which was ideal for our party EXTREMELY comfortable beds!! The location couldn't be bettered. Just a minutes walk from the entrance is Formosa Village shoes and restaurants. You really only need a car to get to the theme parks which are close by anyway. The pool and spa were very quiet and sunny all day. We are tennis fans and our children fitness fanatics so these facilities served as well. The owners were friendly and helpful from start to finish. we are looking forward to many return trips. The long open lanai looks over an tranquil area of a beautiful lake, very quiet picturesque you feel like you are in the middle of the countryside when you look out.

Beautiful rental with all the amenities you
This was a last minute rental on our part and we are glad we waited until the last minute! This rental is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need to feel like home. Its location is close to everything like parks, malls, grocery stores, and restaurants but secluded enough to get away from it all. The owners are very hospitable and respond quickly to inquiries. This definitely will be our first choice for a rental on our next trip to Florida! Charlie & Suzanne - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great condo and unbeatable location
Very nicely furnished, comfortable beds. 3 bathrooms between 4 of us was a luxury. Well equipped kitchen, everything you could wish for. Very peaceful and private. Just one large TV but fine for us. Netflix had hundreds of movies all set up. 2 mins walk to the pool and gym. We enjoyed just walking to the shops and restaurants and not worry about the extra glass of wine

Best condo
Fantastic location a couple of minutes walk to the pool, the shops and great restaurants. Marketplace supermarket is just around the corner, good prices and they make up lunches. Superb condo, very well furnished and very comfortable. We enjoyed watching the sun setting over the lake with a chilled glass of wine, chilling on the balcony with a book. Just perfect, we will return
