Where to Stay in Davenport, Florida: Vacation Homes Near Disney in Davenport, Four Corners & Kissimmee
A StayFormosa home located in Windsor Palms, Kissimmee, FL within 14 minutes of Disney!
Finding where to stay in Davenport, Florida doesn't necessarily mean limiting your search to the Davenport city limits. For most Central Florida visitors, the real question is simpler: Where can we stay near Walt Disney World with enough space for the family, convenient access to the parks, and the amenities we want?
StayFormosa offers professionally managed vacation homes across the western Disney corridor, including Windsor Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Windsor Island Resort and Regal Palms Resort in Davenport, plus vacation homes on Elberton Drive and Sundown Court in Davenport and Rockingham Terrace in Kissimmee's 34747 area.
Together, these locations give travelers several different ways to stay near Disney—from affordable condos and townhomes to private-pool homes and full resort communities.
And when you book directly through StayFormosa.com, you can book without the guest booking fees commonly added by large third-party vacation-rental platforms.
Key Takeaways
StayFormosa manages vacation homes in both Davenport and Kissimmee, concentrated along the western Walt Disney World tourism corridor.
Windsor Palms Resort is approximately 4 miles from Walt Disney World and offers condos, private-pool townhomes, houses, and extensive community amenities.
Windsor Island Resort is a newer Davenport resort designed especially well for families and larger groups looking for resort amenities and spacious vacation homes.
Regal Palms Resort sits in the heart of Four Corners and features a roughly 2-acre tropical pool complex with a lazy river and waterslide.
StayFormosa also offers homes in residential vacation-rental areas including Elberton Drive and Sundown Court in Davenport and Rockingham Terrace in Kissimmee 34747.
Vacation homes provide full kitchens, living areas, multiple bedrooms, and other features that can make a major difference for families staying several nights.
Booking directly at StayFormosa.com avoids the Airbnb or Vrbo guest booking fee while still providing professional local property management.
What Types of Vacation Homes Can You Find Near Davenport and Disney?
One advantage of staying in the Davenport-Kissimmee vacation-rental corridor is variety.
A couple or small family may have no reason to pay for a six-bedroom pool home. Two families traveling together, meanwhile, may quickly outgrow a conventional hotel room.
StayFormosa's portfolio includes different property styles and locations so guests can choose the home that fits the trip rather than simply booking the largest property available.
Depending on the home and community, choices can include:
Condominiums
Townhomes
Private-pool townhomes
Single-family vacation homes
Larger resort homes
Homes with private pools
Resort communities with extensive shared amenities
All of these options keep guests within the broader Walt Disney World vacation corridor while providing more of a residential experience than a traditional hotel room.
Why Book a Professionally Managed Vacation Home?
Vacation homes work especially well for families because they solve some very ordinary problems that become important during a week in Orlando.
A full kitchen means breakfast doesn't have to be another restaurant meal before heading to the parks. A living room gives the family somewhere to relax without everyone sitting on beds. Separate bedrooms allow children and adults to maintain different schedules.
For larger families, having several bedrooms under one roof can also be considerably more practical than dividing everyone among multiple hotel rooms.
StayFormosa by Formosa Homes specializes in this type of Central Florida vacation accommodation. Formosa Homes has operated in the Orlando/Kissimmee vacation-rental market since 2010, with current ownership managing the company since 2019 and bringing hospitality experience dating to 1997.
That local experience matters. You're not simply reserving a property from a distant listing—you are staying in a professionally managed Central Florida vacation home.
Stay Near Disney and Book Direct
One of the simplest ways to compare vacation rentals is to look beyond the advertised nightly rate.
Third-party booking sites may add guest service or booking fees to the cost of a reservation. When you reserve an eligible StayFormosa property directly through StayFormosa.com, there is no Airbnb or Vrbo guest booking fee added to the reservation.
Normal charges such as applicable lodging taxes, cleaning charges, and any optional services associated with a particular home still apply.
The difference is that you're booking directly with the company managing the property rather than adding another booking platform between you and your vacation home.
A StayFormosa condo in Windsor Palms can keep your costs in check yet still provide the amenities and closeness to Disney and dining!
Where Are StayFormosa Vacation Homes Located?
StayFormosa's homes are concentrated in the western Disney vacation corridor around Kissimmee, Davenport and Four Corners.
Each location offers something a little different.
Windsor Palms Resort – Kissimmee
Windsor Palms is one of StayFormosa's primary locations and an excellent choice for travelers whose priority is staying close to Walt Disney World.
The gated resort community is located just off Formosa Gardens Boulevard in Kissimmee, approximately 4 miles from Walt Disney World. Disney's Animal Kingdom is generally around a 10-to-15-minute drive depending on traffic, while US-192 provides convenient access to restaurants, shopping and other Central Florida attractions.
Windsor Palms offers an unusually broad range of vacation-home styles within one community.
Guests can choose among 2- and 3-bedroom condominiums, 3-bedroom townhomes with private splash pools, and larger vacation homes, including homes with private pools.
That makes Windsor Palms useful for everything from a small family vacation to a larger group that wants its own pool and more living space.
The resort amenities include a large community swimming pool, hot tub, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, arcade, sports courts, playground and convenience shop.
For families who plan to spend most days at Disney but still want things to do back at the resort, Windsor Palms offers an appealing combination: close to Disney without giving up the space and convenience of a vacation home.

Windsor Island Resort – Davenport
Windsor Island Resort gives StayFormosa guests another type of Disney-area experience.
Located in Davenport's 33897 area, Windsor Island is a newer resort community designed around vacation homes and extensive family amenities.
The community is particularly attractive for families and groups who want the resort itself to be part of the vacation rather than simply somewhere to sleep between theme-park visits.
Its resort environment includes a substantial clubhouse and recreation area with swimming and water amenities, sports and entertainment options.
The homes tend to be larger than the condos and townhomes found at Windsor Palms, making Windsor Island especially useful for extended families and groups traveling together.
For guests deciding between the two, the choice often comes down to priorities:
Windsor Palms provides a particularly close-to-Disney location with a broad range of home sizes.
Windsor Island provides larger vacation-home options and a newer, amenity-focused resort experience in Davenport.
Both are represented within the StayFormosa portfolio.
Regal Palms Resort – Davenport & Four Corners
Regal Palms Resort is located in Davenport in the heart of the Four Corners area, where the Orlando/Kissimmee tourism corridor meets US-27.
It is particularly convenient for families who want a vacation home combined with a water-resort experience.
The centerpiece of Regal Palms is its approximately 2-acre tropical pool complex, featuring a lazy river, waterslide, zero-entry pool, hot tub and children's water-play areas.
The resort also includes an arcade, fitness facilities, on-site dining and other amenities, so a non-park day doesn't necessarily mean loading everyone into the car in search of something to do.
Regal Palms consists primarily of multi-bedroom townhomes, giving families separate bedrooms, a kitchen and private living space while retaining access to major resort amenities.
Another advantage is what's immediately outside the resort. A nearby Publix-anchored shopping center provides groceries, restaurants, gas and everyday vacation necessities within easy reach.
Regal Palms works particularly well for families who want Disney access plus a lazy-river resort experience for the days they aren't visiting the theme parks.

Elberton Drive – Davenport
StayFormosa also manages vacation accommodations in the Elberton Drive area of Davenport, providing another option for travelers who prefer a private vacation home setting.
Not every Orlando vacation needs to revolve around a giant resort clubhouse.
For some families, the priorities are a comfortable house, multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, private living space and convenient access to Disney, restaurants, groceries and the rest of the Davenport/Four Corners corridor.
Homes in this area provide that alternative.
They are particularly worth considering for travelers who expect to spend most of their recreational time at the theme parks and attractions and therefore place greater value on the home itself than on an elaborate community amenity package.
Sundown Court – Davenport
StayFormosa's Sundown Court location provides another Davenport option within the broader Disney vacation-home corridor.
Like Elberton Drive, this location expands the choices beyond the major named resorts.
That can be an advantage for families who primarily want the benefits of a vacation home: room to spread out, separate sleeping areas, a full kitchen and a residential environment to return to after a day at the parks.
It also allows travelers searching specifically for Davenport vacation rentals near Disney to book directly with the same local management company rather than limiting themselves to one particular resort community.
Rockingham Terrace – Kissimmee 34747
StayFormosa's Rockingham Terrace location in Kissimmee 34747 puts guests on the Kissimmee side of the same western Disney tourism corridor.
The 34747 area is particularly popular with vacationers because of its proximity to Walt Disney World and the extensive selection of restaurants, supermarkets, shops and visitor services surrounding the western US-192 corridor.
For guests searching both Davenport and Kissimmee, Rockingham Terrace illustrates why city boundaries aren't especially useful when choosing an Orlando vacation home.
A Kissimmee address can actually put you closer to the attractions a Davenport traveler is planning to visit.
That's why StayFormosa recommends choosing your home according to location, property type, amenities and group size, rather than simply whether the mailing address says Davenport or Kissimmee.
What Is Four Corners?
Four Corners is the informal name for the Central Florida area where Lake, Orange, Osceola and Polk counties meet.
For vacationers, however, Four Corners is better understood as a gateway area on the western side of Walt Disney World.
Davenport, Kissimmee and other nearby communities blend together here, connected by US-27, US-192 and the roads leading toward Disney.
This explains why someone searching for "where to stay in Davenport" may ultimately find the right property with a Kissimmee address—and vice versa.
The important question isn't the city printed on the address.
It's how far the home is from where you actually plan to go.
A luxurious four-poster bedroom featuring a wooden canopy bed with purple linens, decorative white towels with a purple bow, and lavender-colored petals scattered on the floor. The room is accented with vibrant purple walls, warm ambient lighting from bedside table lamps, and elegant wooden nightstands.
Davenport or Kissimmee: Which Is Better for a Disney Vacation?
Neither location automatically makes a better vacation base. It depends on the home.
StayFormosa manages properties on both sides of that line for precisely this reason.
If getting as close as practical to Disney is the priority, Windsor Palms and the Kissimmee 34747 area deserve particular attention.
If you're looking for a larger resort experience or want to stay in the Four Corners/US-27 area, Windsor Island and Regal Palms provide strong Davenport options.
And if your priorities are the home itself, space and convenient access to the surrounding attractions, Elberton Drive and Sundown Court add additional Davenport choices.
Instead of asking "Davenport or Kissimmee?", a better question is:
Which StayFormosa home best fits the way my family travels?
Windsor Palms or Windsor Island?
These two communities serve somewhat different trips.
Windsor Palms is particularly useful for smaller and medium-sized groups because the community includes condos, townhomes and houses. You don't have to rent a huge home just to stay in a gated resort near Disney.
Its location approximately 4 miles from Walt Disney World is another major advantage.
Windsor Island, by comparison, tends toward larger vacation homes and a more elaborate newer-resort experience.
A family of four may find a Windsor Palms condo or townhome provides everything they need.
Several families traveling together may appreciate the additional space available at Windsor Island.
StayFormosa offers properties in both, so the goal isn't to push every guest into the same resort. It's to match the group with the appropriate home.
Regal Palms or a Private Vacation Home?
Regal Palms makes sense when resort recreation is high on your list.
Its lazy river, waterslide and pool complex can become an attraction of their own, particularly for families scheduling rest days between Disney visits.
A home in the Elberton Drive, Sundown Court or Rockingham Terrace areas may make more sense when your itinerary already includes theme parks and attractions almost every day.
In that case, paying primarily for the home, space and location rather than choosing according to the size of a resort clubhouse can be a better fit.
The right answer depends on how you plan to spend the vacation.
Compare StayFormosa vacation homes
Condo, Townhome or House: Which Fits Your Family?
The best property type usually depends on group size and how much private outdoor space matters to you.
Condo
Condos can be an excellent value for couples and smaller families.
At Windsor Palms, StayFormosa's condominium options provide a full kitchen and private living space while guests use the resort's large community swimming pool and other shared amenities.
If you don't need a private pool, a condo can be one of the most economical ways to stay extremely close to Disney.
Townhome
Townhomes provide additional separation between living and sleeping spaces and work well for families who want more privacy than a condo.
Some StayFormosa townhomes, including Windsor Palms properties, include a private splash pool.
At Regal Palms, multi-bedroom townhomes combine residential space with access to the resort's large water complex.
Private Home
A standalone vacation home provides the most space and privacy and is generally the best match for larger families or groups.
Depending on the property, private homes may include their own swimming pool as well as multiple bedrooms, full kitchens, dining areas and larger common spaces.
Always check the individual StayFormosa listing for the exact amenities included with a particular home.
Why a Kitchen Matters More Than You Think
A kitchen may not sound exciting when planning a Disney vacation, but after several days it can become one of the most valuable amenities in the house.
Theme-park vacations involve a surprising amount of eating on the move.
Being able to make breakfast before leaving, keep drinks and snacks in the refrigerator, prepare food for children with particular preferences, or have an easy dinner at home after a long park day can save both time and money.
It's also one of the biggest practical differences between a vacation home and a conventional hotel room.
Add a washer and dryer, separate bedrooms and a living room, and the property begins to function as a temporary home rather than simply somewhere to sleep.
For a multi-night Central Florida vacation, those differences add up quickly.
What About Private Pools?
Private pools are common in Central Florida vacation homes, but not every StayFormosa property has one.
That's an important distinction.
For example, Windsor Palms condos use the resort's community pool, while select townhomes have private splash pools and larger homes may have private swimming pools.
Other homes in the StayFormosa portfolio have their own property-specific amenity configurations.
If a private pool is essential to your vacation, choose a StayFormosa listing that specifically identifies one rather than assuming every Orlando-area vacation rental includes it.
If the community pool and resort amenities are sufficient, choosing a condo or non-pool property can potentially reduce the cost of the trip.
What Fees Should You Consider When Comparing Vacation Rentals?
Never compare vacation homes based solely on the large nightly price shown in a search result.
Look at the total stay.
Depending on the property, a reservation may include:
Nightly accommodation charges
Applicable Florida lodging taxes
A cleaning charge
Optional services or amenities selected for the stay
Property- or resort-specific charges where applicable
Third-party booking platforms may then add their own guest booking or service charges.
That's one reason StayFormosa encourages guests to compare the direct-booking total at StayFormosa.com rather than assuming the first nightly price displayed elsewhere represents the final cost.
Booking direct removes the Airbnb or Vrbo guest booking fee from the equation.
When Is the Best Time to Visit?
Central Florida vacation demand changes considerably throughout the year.
School holidays, spring break periods, major events and the winter holidays can produce much stronger demand, while other periods provide substantially better opportunities for value-conscious travelers.
Late summer and early fall can offer attractive vacation-home pricing, although travelers should balance those savings against Central Florida's heat, humidity and hurricane-season weather.
If your dates coincide with a major holiday, school break or large Central Florida event, booking earlier provides a better selection of homes and property types.
Travelers with flexible dates have a different advantage: they can compare StayFormosa properties and travel periods to find the combination of home, location and rate that works best for them.
How to Choose the Right StayFormosa Property
Start with your actual vacation rather than the property photos.
How many people are traveling?
A couple or family of four may be perfectly comfortable in a condo. Multiple families may need a larger house.
How important is a private pool?
If it's essential, narrow your search to homes and townhomes that specifically include one.
How important are resort amenities?
If the children would happily spend an entire day on a lazy river, Regal Palms deserves serious consideration. If proximity to Disney matters more, Windsor Palms may be the better fit.
How much time will you actually spend at the resort?
Families visiting attractions from morning until evening may get more value from a comfortable private home than from amenities they rarely have time to use.
Are you visiting Disney most days?
Look carefully at Windsor Palms and StayFormosa's Kissimmee 34747 options.
Do you want the Davenport/Four Corners area?
Compare Windsor Island, Regal Palms, Elberton Drive and Sundown Court.
Most importantly, compare the total direct-booking price, not just an advertised nightly rate.

For vacation planning, distance to the parks and attractions is generally more useful than the city name alone.

Final Take: Where Should You Stay Near Davenport and Disney?
The best place to stay isn't necessarily the community with the biggest clubhouse or the home with the most bedrooms.
It's the property that fits your family, your itinerary and your budget.
StayFormosa gives travelers several distinct choices across the western Disney corridor.
Choose Windsor Palms when being particularly close to Walt Disney World and having a choice among condos, townhomes and private homes are priorities.
Choose Windsor Island Resort when you want a newer resort environment and a larger vacation home for a family or group.
Choose Regal Palms Resort when a lazy river, waterslide and family resort amenities are an important part of the vacation.
Consider Elberton Drive or Sundown Court in Davenport when you want the space and convenience of a vacation home in the Davenport area without making a giant resort complex the center of your trip.
Consider Rockingham Terrace in Kissimmee 34747 when you want another well-positioned option on the Kissimmee side of the western Disney corridor.
There isn't one property that's right for every family—and that's precisely why StayFormosa offers different types of homes in different locations.
Instead of sending you all over the internet comparing unrelated properties, start with the homes professionally managed by StayFormosa and choose the one that fits the way your family actually vacations.
