Why Choose Crescent Lakes for Your Orlando Villa Holiday?
Crescent Lakes has a quieter, more natural feel than some of Orlando’s larger resort developments. Rather than choosing a holiday home purely for extensive communal facilities, you can enjoy the privacy of your own villa, outdoor space and the flexibility to organise your days at your own pace.
Reasons to consider Crescent Lakes include:
- Private swimming pools: Many holiday homes have their own screened pool and sun deck, giving you somewhere to unwind after a day at the parks.
- Space for families and groups: Villas come in different sizes, with options for smaller families and larger parties. Check each property listing for its bedroom count and maximum occupancy.
- Lake and conservation views: Some homes look out towards natural areas or lakes, offering a more tranquil backdrop to your holiday.
- Family-friendly community facilities: Children’s play areas, tennis and basketball courts, and picnic facilities provide additional ways to enjoy time outdoors.
- Fishing and nature: The community’s lakes and green surroundings appeal to guests who enjoy fishing and spotting local wildlife.
- Convenient access to Orlando attractions: Disney, SeaWorld, Universal and other popular attractions can be reached by car, although journey times vary with traffic and your chosen destination.
Crescent Lakes is a residential community, not a large resort with a hotel-style entertainment programme. Its appeal is the combination of a private holiday home, outdoor space and a convenient base for exploring Central Florida.
What Are the Villas at Crescent Lakes Like?
Crescent Lakes features individually owned holiday homes, so layouts, furnishings and facilities differ from one villa to another. You can choose a property to suit your party rather than expecting every home to offer identical facilities.
Villas with Private Pools
Many Crescent Lakes villas have a private swimming pool within a screened outdoor area, often with sun loungers and space for outdoor dining. Some properties also offer a spa or hot tub.
A private pool can be especially appealing for families: children can enjoy time in the water at home, while adults can relax without needing to share the pool with other holidaymakers.
Pool heating may be available at selected properties, sometimes for an additional charge. Always check the individual villa description for pool dimensions, heating arrangements, safety features and any extra costs before booking.
Lake Views and Natural Surroundings
One of Crescent Lakes’ distinguishing features is its setting among lakes and conservation areas. Depending on the villa’s position, you may be able to enjoy views of water, greenery or natural surroundings from the garden or pool deck.
If a lake view or conservation outlook is important to you, use the property photographs and description to confirm the exact outlook rather than assuming every home has one.
Games Rooms and Larger Homes
Selected villas offer games rooms, additional living space and multiple bedrooms, making them suitable for families or groups holidaying together. Some properties have south- or west-facing pools, which may be worth considering if sunshine around your pool area is a priority.
Use our filters to find a property with the facilities you want, including:
- 4-bedroom Orlando villas
- 5-bedroom Orlando villas
- 6-bedroom Orlando villas
- 7-bedroom and larger Orlando villas

Availability and facilities vary by property, so check the individual listing for the most accurate details.
Crescent Lakes Community Facilities
Although Crescent Lakes is primarily a residential villa community, there are several outdoor facilities that can add to your stay.
Children's Play Areas
Play areas provide somewhere for younger children to let off steam outside the villa. Facilities can include play equipment such as swings, slides and climbing structures.
Tennis and Basketball Courts
The community has been described by villa and destination websites as offering tennis and basketball facilities. These can provide a welcome change of pace from the theme parks, particularly for active children and teenagers.
Fishing Lakes and Nature Walks
Fishing is another feature associated with Crescent Lakes. Some of the community lakes are stocked with fish, and the surrounding green areas offer opportunities to enjoy Florida's natural environment.
Walking routes and a nature trail have also been described in community information, providing a quieter alternative to busy theme park days.
Picnic and Outdoor Areas
Picnic and barbecue areas are mentioned in descriptions of the community. If you plan to use particular facilities, check their current availability and any local rules before your visit.
Please note that Crescent Lakes is not a hotel resort. Community facilities, access arrangements and opening conditions may differ, and individual villas do not all include the same amenities.
Where Is Crescent Lakes in Kissimmee?
Crescent Lakes is situated on Poinciana Boulevard, south of the main US192 tourist corridor in Kissimmee, Florida. The setting becomes more residential and green as you travel away from the busier shopping and restaurant areas.
The location can suit visitors who prefer a quieter base rather than staying immediately beside the theme parks. You can drive towards US192 for a broad choice of restaurants, shops and family attractions, while the wider Kissimmee and Orlando area offers plenty of activities for days away from the parks.

Getting from Orlando International Airport to Crescent Lakes
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the main arrival airport for most UK visitors to Orlando. Crescent Lakes is south of the main tourist areas, and the drive generally takes around 40–45 minutes in favourable conditions, depending on your exact villa and route.
Allow extra time for heavy traffic, collecting your hire car, stopping for groceries or arriving during peak periods.
A hire car is generally the most convenient option for a Crescent Lakes stay. It gives you flexibility to visit the theme parks, supermarkets, restaurants, golf courses and other attractions, many of which are spread across the wider Orlando area.
If you would prefer not to drive, look into private transfers and taxi services before travelling. Consider how you will get to the parks and restaurants each day, as transport availability and fares can vary.
For more information, see our Car Hire and Taxi Services page and Driving in Orlando guide.
Shops, Supermarkets and Restaurants Near Crescent Lakes
One advantage of staying in a self-catering villa is having the freedom to eat when it suits you. You can enjoy breakfast at home before heading out, prepare snacks for the day and return to your own kitchen for a relaxed evening meal.
Supermarkets and Shopping
Supermarkets are available in the wider Kissimmee area, with further shopping options along US192 and around the main retail areas. Published community guides identify Publix and other major supermarkets within a short drive, although the best option will depend on your villa's exact location.
For a larger shopping trip, you can explore retail destinations such as The Loop and the Orlando-area outlet centres. Check current store locations and opening hours before setting out.
Restaurants and Dining
The US192 corridor offers a wide choice of casual dining, family restaurants, takeaway options and familiar American chains. You will also find additional restaurants throughout Kissimmee and around the Disney area.
Having a car makes it easier to choose between eating out and enjoying the privacy of your villa. For special meals or popular restaurants during busy travel periods, consider booking ahead.
Golf and Things to Do Beyond the Theme Parks
A Florida villa holiday does not need to be all about rollercoasters. Crescent Lakes can also work well for visitors who want to mix theme park days with golf, nature and other local experiences.
Golf
There are several golf courses across the wider Kissimmee area. Oaks National, Kissimmee Golf Club and Providence Golf Club are among the courses identified in local Crescent Lakes guides. Check current course details, visitor availability and driving directions before making plans.
Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures
For a different side of Florida, consider an airboat excursion through the region's wetlands. Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures is often cited as an option from the Crescent Lakes area, with journey estimates of around 15–20 minutes in some local guides. Check the actual route from your villa and book directly with the attraction.
Kissimmee Old Town
Old Town Kissimmee is another option for an evening or a change from the theme parks. It is known for its shops, entertainment and car-cruise events. Check the current schedule if you want to visit for a particular event.
Beaches and Day Trips
If you would like to include a beach day, Florida's Atlantic and Gulf coasts are possible day trips by car. Daytona Beach is generally closer than Clearwater Beach from this part of Kissimmee, although journey times vary considerably with traffic. Kennedy Space Center is another popular excursion for visitors interested in space exploration.
