Kissimmee Vacation Rentals

Kissimmee is truly a vacationer's dream. Conveniently located close to Orlando and several major theme parks, Kissimmee is just outside of the hustle and bustle of the big city traffic and noise. If this is your first family trip to Florida, you'll find Kissimmee vacation rentals to be family friendly and easy on your budget as well.

Kissimmee vacation rentals offer a home-like atmosphere and extra elbow room for larger groups and families. Disney's Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom are all located fewer than 10 miles away, while Universal Studios and Sea World are about a 20 minute drive.

Kissimmee Attractions and Fun

There are also plenty of things to do right in the city for those lazy days when you'd like to stay closer to your Kissimmee vacation rental. Air boat and swamp buggy rides will take you on a tour of the Florida gator's natural habitat, and afterward you can enjoy some gator-tail or fresh seafood at one of Kissimmee's excellent restaurants.

If the hot, wildlife-filled wetlands are not your cup of tea, you may enjoy Old Town, an unusual entertainment area that will make you feel as if you've stepped back in time. With over 75 carnival style rides, tourist shops, and plenty of restaurants, you can easily spend the entire day strolling through the home of Rosie O'Grady's famous tavern and taking in the exciting atmosphere. As the sun is setting, you can rent a swan shaped paddle boat for a relaxing tour of the lake.

If you're still up for some nightlife, try one of the many entertaining dinner shows. Most of them sell alcohol but are still appropriate for the entire family. Capone's is a dinner theater set in the gangster era. Upon entering, you'll be shoved to your seat and told to "Keep it quiet if you know what's good for you." After enjoying the plentiful buffet, you'll enjoy the colorful Broadway-style show that ends with a prize filled balloon drop.

Kissimmee Shopping

Don't forget to visit historic downtown Kissimmee and the neighboring shopping malls before leaving your Kissimmee vacation rental. The world famous Mall at Millenia, located in Orlando, is a shopping experience you won't want to miss. Created for those who surround themselves in the finest luxuries of life, this mall is unrivaled in its quality of retailers. Stores include Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Company, Cartier, Burberry, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale - just to name a few. After your shopping trip is over, finish the day off with an extraordinary dining experience. Choose from succulent delights at the Cheesecake Factory, PF Chang's, or the chic atmosphere of the Blue Martini lounge.

Once your stay at one of the Kissimmee vacation rentals comes to a close, you will be glad you stayed so close to the big city. Orlando's International Airport is only a short drive by car, or you can choose to call one of the convenient airport shuttles to safely see you off as you head home.

The welcoming atmosphere of the Orlando area is famous for its non-stop activity and growth. You won't be able to experience all of it during your first vacation, so be sure to book your Kissimmee vacation rental early for next year's visit. This could easily turn into an annual tradition.
