Oakwater Villas

A small, private gated community of 2 and 3 bedroom condominiums, located south of US192 and built alongside Oakwater lake. For guests staying at Oakwater, there is a clubhouse with concierge and fitness centre, as well as a large lagoon-style communal pool, tennis courts, basketball court and children's play area. For something a little more relaxing, take in the wildlife on the lake side conservation trail.

Being located very close to US192, Oakwater is one of the closest communities to Walt Disney World resort, which means it is ideal if you are looking to visit the attractions in the morning and relax back at your condo or pool in the afternoon.

Head just under 2 miles north towards highway US192 to find the local Formosa Gardens Village shopping complex. Here you will find a supermarket, pharmacy, walk-in medical centre and liquor store, along with a selection of other shops (including an ATM cash machine).

Local to the Formosa Gardens Villas complex are a selection of restaurants and eateries. These include an Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, Giordano's Italian restaurant, as well as both a Chinese take-away and Japanese sushi bar. For quick snacks, there is also a Subway, Taco Bell and Dairy Queen. Heading further on US192 towards Kissimmee and there will be countless other restaurants for eating out and an almost equal number of themed crazy golf to work off the meal!

Oakwater is located a short distance south of highway US192 (the main road through to Kissimmee), which via World Drive offers the most straightforward driving route to Walt Disney World. For Universal Studios, SeaWorld and the International Drive area, head for Interstate 4 then north towards Orlando. Orlando International airport is accessible from Interstate 4 and the Beachline Expressway SR528 or along the Florida Greeneway SR417. These are also the routes to Kennedy Space Center and Cocoa Beach.

For the Gulf coast and Busch Gardens, head south on Interstate 4 towards Tampa. For Legoland Florida, head south on highway US27 at the intersection with Interstate 4.

Driving distances are taken from Google Maps and reference a central starting point in the community. When quoting distances to Walt Disney World Resort, these are not taken to the 'gates', but are representative of the actual distance to the specific attraction. Driving distances are not biased to any villa community.

These villa rental communities are nestled near to the new SR429 toll road and Old Lake Wilson Road. Villas located near here have a quick route through to highway US192 and the Walt Disney World Resort - especially Animal Kingdom. Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and the other Disney parks are easily accessible via the main thoroughfare of World Drive. Interstate 4 is the likely route when visiting Seaworld, Universal Studios and the International Drive attractions.
