Location

Formosa Gardens Orlando Villas in Florida

Formosa Gardens Villas in Orlando

Formosa Gardens Estates villas to rent, 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 Orlando 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 Gardens 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.

Over 30 Formosa Gardens Villas to Rent

Built around a central lake (Star Lake), many of these Formosa Gardens Orlando 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 sought after is the size and layout of the homes as most of them have larger than average plots, private pools and general living spaces. All set in a gated community.

Once inside the gates of Formosa Gardens you will feel a world away from the busy Orlando theme parks. After you’ve had some chill time by your pool and feel ready for dinner and drinks, you have a huge choice of bars and restaurants right on your door step.

Restaurants near Formosa Gardens Kissimmee

Less than two minutes in the car on Formosa Gardens Blvd which is right out of the gates and you have an Adega Gaucha Restaurant, which is a Brazilian steakhouse.

Just a bit further down the road you have a 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.

Less than 5 minutes from our Formosa Gardens vacation rentals 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 Hooters which although you may not think so is family friendly. There is also a Bahama Breeze, Olive Garden, Rock & Brews plus a few other like Flippers Pizzeria.

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!

We have put together a blog post listing over 50 restaurants along HWY192 in Kissimmee. It has all the details like phone numbers, links to menus and google / tripadvisor reviews. All of these restaurants are between mile marker 4 and 6 and just a few minutes from Formosa Gardens.

Villa Communities near Formosa Gardens, Florida

If you can't find what you are looking for from our Formosa Gardens villas or they are out of your budget below is a list of other nearby communities. We have over 550 Orlando villas to rent so I am sure you can find something to suit your needs.

Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Formosa Gardens

Directions via the 417 Toll Road

The closest airport to Formosa Gardens is Orlando International Airport (MCO) which is 28 miles away. There are a number of different ways to get from the airport to Formosa Gardens but I find the best way is via the 417 Toll road.

Once you have picked up your hire car and left the carpark look for the 417 South Exit Toll road. The sign should be brown and might also have Disney – Kissimmee listed on it. You may have to do a loop of the airport to get the right exit but just keep following the signs.

Follow the 417 South Toll road for about 16 miles until you see signs for Interstate 4 West (I4). The 417 toll road should cost about $4 so make sure you have some cash on you.

Join I4 West and follow for 3.5 miles then take Exit 60 onto the 429 North. Take the first exit off of the 429 which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash only toll booth so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth go straight over at the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) around for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side. Make sure you have the gate code to get in.

Directions via the 528 Toll Road

If you would prefer to avoid a few tolls you can take the North Exit when leaving MCO. It would be sign posted as North Exit (528 Toll). Look for the 528 Toll (West) To I4 (International Dr). I don’t often take this route as the 528 is a busier road.

Follow the 528 Toll and then join I4 West. Stay on I4 West for 7 miles and take Exit 64. It will read 192 Kissimmee / Magic Kingdom, follow for a few miles and then take 192 West (Magic Kingdom / Wide World of Sports). Stay on the 192 West for 3.5 and then turn left on to Formosa Gardens Blvd. There is a Red Lobster restaurant on one corner and Harley Davidson on the other.

Follow Formosa Gardens Blvd for about 1 mile to the 4 way stop. Cross over and then the Formosa Gardens Estate in on the left.

As you pull into the community there is a key pad on the left where you enter the access code provided by the villa owner.

Sandford International Airport (SFB) to Formosa Gardens

Again there are a number of ways to get from Sanford International Airport (SFB) to Formosa Gardens but I think the best way is via the 417 Toll Road (55 miles). When leaving Sanford airport you want to take 417 South and just follow it all the way until you reach I4. This is a toll road and will cost you around $9.

Join I4 West and follow for 3.5 miles then take Exit 60 onto the 429 North. Take the first exit off of the 429 which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash only toll booth so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth go straight over at the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) around for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side.

As you pull into the community there is a key pad on the left where you enter the access code provided by the villa owner.

Tampa International Airport (TPA) to Formosa Gardens

As with all of American there are a number of ways to get everywhere but I have hopefully listed the quickest way. It is 70 miles from Tampa airport to Formosa Gardens but it’s a very easy drive.

When you leave Tampa International Airport (TPA) you will be taking I-275 North / Tampa via the 60 East. Once on I-275 North towards Tampa look for the I4 East (Orlando) Exit 45B. It’s a very straight forward drive but the traffic can be heavy especially if you arrive during rush hour so take your time and don’t panic. You should get plenty on warnings for your junctions as they are very well sign posted.

Once you are on the I4 East follow this for around 55 miles and then take exit 60, which is the 429 Toll North to Apopka. Take the first exit off of the 429 which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash only toll booth so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth go straight over at the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) around for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side.

As you pull into the community there is a Video monitored entry system to the left. When you press the button, an agent will assist you to get in the gate. Only registered guest could enter.

We hope the above directions have helped you find your way to your Formosa Gardens villa and you have a great time in Orlando.

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. We have also included brief details below.

These are in sections and can be taken down by unclipping and rolling the fence up. Obviously taking the system down will mean you have removed the safety defence and are now susceptible to accidents happening. We recommend that you keep this in place at all times when you have children in the party that are not capable swimmers, and adults are not able to supervise children by the pool area.

Pool safety is extremely important to prevent drowning. The first and best rule to prevent drowning is constant adult supervision for both children and the elderly.

The pool is cleaned on a weekly basis, access to do this is via outside doors within the pool screen.

Stunning villa in fantastic location

A beautifully finished villa in a lovely gated community within close proximity to the 192 amenities / Disney / Celebration. The villa had everything we needed. Pool/Spa heat was set to the perfect temp. We've stayed in a few Orlando villas over the years and this was by far our favourite.

Star Lakeshore Villa stay June 2024

We have just returned from a two week visit to Star Lakeshore. The whole experience from booking with Michelle to the end of our stay was easy and well organised. We were provided with directions and the necessary codes for entering the estate and the villa in good time and the management company representative called in to check we were ok when we had arrived. The house itself is very spacious with two huge master bedroom suites which are perfect for two families or as in our case adults to have privacy. We found the kitchen to be well equipment with everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the “air fryer” function of the main oven which was very handy. There were some cleaning products and tea, sugar and condiments for us to use which were welcome. Every room had great smart TV’s and hairdryers. The outdoor and pool areas were amazing spaces with two additional seating areas to enjoy. Pool and spa were lovely and warm in June. The games room was a particular hit providing an air conditioned space to enjoy some down time in the evenings or pool days. We hope to return in a couple of years with our grandchildren who will love the Lion King room! Thanks to Michelle and her family for sharing their home with us.

A really lovely house!!!

We stayed at Star Lakeshore for 10 nights and what a fantastic house it was. The house has everything you need and more. I have a 1 and 4 year old and there was lots of children items available so i didn't have to worry about getting any plastic cutlery and plates or toilet inset which was such a bonus. Michelle is great she gives you so much information and is really quick with replying to any questions you do have. I would stay in this house again and again. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable at this amazing house!

Perfect Home away from home!

This was our 3rd time staying at Star Lakeshore, as it never disappoints and truly does feel like a home away from home. The villa is spotlessly clean, very well furnished, has lots of space for all the family to spread out and is very well equipped both inside and out. Staying over Xmas for the second time, the holiday decorations are a nice touch and were admired by our visiting relative from Oz as an unexpected touch! The location is very central and the gated community is quiet and feels very secure. Michelle is a very responsive and engaging owner and we are delighted to have had the privilege of staying in this great home once again. Having travelled to the Orlando area around 15 times now, this is by far our favourite property and will always be our first pick of villa if returning to the area.

Thanks once again for staying with us and for your kind review!
Absolutely outstanding!

From the first dealings to the last has been superb, Michelle has dealt with us throughout and has been amazing, after a false start due to Covid we finally got there! As for the villa itself it was excellent and every little detail for a family visit has been catered for. The rooms are spacious, luxurious and comfortable, the kitchen has all you need, the whole villa just makes you feel special and instantly at home! It is conveniently situated for visiting all attractions and having stayed in Formosa gardens on several occasions we always find it to be the best site to be on but now we have found the villa to come back to every time, we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Our kids are missing it already and want to come back to play in the fabulous pool as soon as possible!

Star lakeshore Villa

Wow! Where to start with this stunning villa ,Star Lakeshore! Communications from beginning to end with the villa owners were excellent, clear, friendly and exact. The information they’d left in the villa itself was exemplary. The villa was wonderful, clean and extremely well equipped, we really enjoyed using the fantastic games room but the cherry on the top was the stunning pool and the view overlooking the lake! We’ve stayed many times in villas in this region but Star lakeshore was by far the best! We loved the villa so much we have re booked for next year! Thank you so much Scott & Michelle for helping to make our holiday such a memorable one. Robert & Diane

Perfect vacation villa

Just returned from 2 weeks staying in Lake Starshore villa and cant recommend highly enough. We have visited Florida for several decades now and this is the nicest villa accomodation we've had to date. The decor is modern and the villa is spacious and clean. There were 10 of us staying but it wasnt crowded in the slightest. Everything you could need is provided; towels, large washer & dryer, clothes horse, hairdryers, large fridge/freezer, security safes and the welcome basket of the 'essentials' was a lovely touch. The pool area has plenty of shade, and enough seats/lougers that everyone can enjoy the area. The kids loved the pool and it was nice to have enough space for us all to eat outside together too. We had a couple of minor issues in our first few days(a safe door that was locked and a light that was out) called the management company number provided and someone was there that morning and the issues were fixed immediantly, no hassle. Location is great too, lots of shopping and eating options at the bottom of the road and 10 minute drive to Disney. Its a gated community and the villa itself had lots of security and safety measures, we felt very secure. Would recommend to anyone, great accomodation for a holiday.

Fantastic Villa in perfect location

We just got back from a lovely family holiday staying at Star Lakeshore villa. The villa is in a perfect location with rear pool views over a lake and a short drive to lots of restaurants and a huge Walmart. Disney and Universal parks are also easily reached. The villa itself is wonderful with 2 huge master suites and a great games room. We all agreed it was the nicest villa that we have stayed in and hope to return again in the future. Michelle, the owner, is very helpful and quick to reply to any questions we had.

Wonderful property with perfect location.

This is a beautiful villa on the lake that was absolutely perfect for our 3 generation family holiday. Fantastic pool and the house was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need also beautifully decorated. A special mention to the owner Michelle who was so generous with her advice on the area. Would have no hesitation in recommending this villa and wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we return to Orlando.

Fabulous Stay

We had a fabulous 2 1/2 weeks stay at the villa with stunning views over the lake looking at the beautiful sunrise every morning and then could sit round the corner and watch the sunset. Very clean villa with extremely comfortable beds. All needs catered for with ample utensils in the kitchen. Lovely pool and Spa. Michelle easily contactable when we had a slight issue which was rectified immediately. Peaceful location and so close to parks. Stayed on Formosa Gardens before and we love the location I would definitely recommend and stay in this villa again.

Luxurious Villa close to Disney

We are a family of 4, with 2 teenage sons who regularly travel to Orlando and were returning for the first time in 2 years since Covid severely impacted travel from the UK. We chose Formosa Gardens and Star Lakeshore Villa for our trip and were delighted with the luxury this property offered our family. There was way more space than our family ended up needing but travelling over the festive period where the weather can sometimes be a little unpredictable, we wanted the comfort of knowing we had enough indoor and outdoor space to spread out and this home had it all. Great living space, dining options and a brilliant games rooms were all made good use of. The two master suites were pure luxury and other bedrooms all a great size. The outdoor area was amazing and we spent very many lazy hours around the pool and dining alfresco! The owners were a real pleasure to deal with, very responsive and provided a whole host of useful and current information related to travel restrictions ahead of our trip. Star Lakeshore is a fantastic home for chilling in the Florida sunshine, it has something for the whole family and we will definitely return. Thanks once again.

Reviews during 2020 / 2021

Just a note from the owners to let you know that our home was rented out during 2020 and 2021 to American holidaymakers which is why we don't have many reviews on this website for that time as it mainly attracts UK holidaymakers. You will see more reviews on other websites if you search for the villa name.

Wonderful stay at Star Lakeshore!

We spent 43 nights in this lovely vacation home in January/February, and had a wonderful time in the beautiful Florida sunshine and the surrounding Formosa Garden neighborhood. The check-in process was very easy with Michelle’s concise and helpful guidance and instructions. The home was very clean, the kitchen perfectly outfitted, and the family room/tv area was relaxing and comfortable. The furnishing throughout was comfortable and very nice, with large screen tv’s in every bedroom, and cool Star Wars game room too. Lots of room to spread out! Even with all that, our favorite spot was the pool, jacuzzi and outside screened-in pool-deck/lanai where we spent so much of our time enjoying the heated pool and lake view! The pool furniture is plentiful, and shade or sun is available at any time of day. Great spot to read or to take a nap. There are so many restaurants close by, plenty of grocery and shopping options to choose from, and access to the Disney parks and beautiful town of Celebration is so convenient. Lots of golf courses too! Very sad to leave this perfect vacation paradise, but so happy we will be returning next year! Thank you, Michelle for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We are already looking forward to next year’s stay! Carol and Ed

Wonderful Experience

This is a wonderful villa. We maintained with many amenities. The owner and management company are very responsive and easy to work with. We were very happy with our stay, and we plan to stay here again the next time we are in Orlando.

Amazing!

We recently stayed at "Star Lakeshore", returning home on 26/2/20. This villa is wonderful! We have stayed in many villas in this area over the last twenty years and this is certainly one our favourites. We will certainly re-book. Everything that you can think of is in the villa and is new and of a very good quality. The patio, spa and pool are amazing, overlooking the lake in a very peaceful location - and yet we made it to Disney's Animal Kingdom in under 10 minutes! The location is excellent. All the arrangements beforehand were accurate and we had no problems entering the villa and gated community. We called the management company on one occasion to change a battery in one of the smoke alarms and they did this promptly without fuss. We would definitely recommend this villa, it is very spacious and of a very high standard. We look forward to going back!

Superb villa in a fabulous location

We had a great stay at 'Star Lakeshore'. The villa is located in a lovely, well kept, gated community and is really well equipped, clean and very comfortable. We shared the villa with another family and so enjoyed the privacy of having the master bedrooms (which are huge) on separate floors. The villa has been updated and has a stunning, relaxing outlook of the lake and a great hot tub. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool and outdoor table tennis, and it was particularly nice to have the extra space around the villa. We used the Star Wars themed games room every night. The location was really convenient, very close to Disney, lots of restaurants and a supermarket. We also did a day trip to The Kennedy Space Center and a trip to a nearby Premium Outlet - so something for everyone. The villa was the perfect place to return to and relax after a busy day out. We would love to go back and highly recommend this villa.

Stunning villa in fantastic location

A beautifully finished villa in a lovely gated community within close proximity to the 192 amenities / Disney / Celebration. The villa had everything we needed. Pool/Spa heat was set to the perfect temp. We've stayed in a few Orlando villas over the years and this was by far our favourite.
