Davenport – your gateway to Disney

If you are looking to take the kids to Disney sometime soon, you might want to consider the concept of reserving an affordable and family friendly vacation rental in the nearby town of Davenport rather than dropping a whole load of cash at one of the many expensive Orlando resorts and hotels. Davenport is a small town which is located to the south west of Orlando near Lake Tohopekaliga and Lake Marion. This picturesque town which is surrounded by rolling hills is located just thirty minutes away from Walt Disney World and it is often used by tourists as a base for their Florida vacation for not only is it close to Disney World, it even offers easy access to other popular Orlando attractions like SeaWorld, Gatorland, Wet&Wild and the beaches of Tampa and the Gulf Coast.

Davenport Vacation Rentals

Davenport sports a distinct small town ambience as it is not half as commercial as the tourist heavy neighboring city of Orlando. In fact Davenport has its own quiet charm and provides a welcome respite from the overt commercialization which is so evident in the other resort cities of Florida. Davenport like most of Florida, also enjoys year round sunny and warm weather so it is visited by vacationers all throughout the year. In order to cater to this influx of visitors the town offers various lodging facilities like inns, hotels and the ever popular, affordable vacation rentals.

Davenport in fact offers various types of vacation rentals like multi-room luxurious villas, townhomes, apartments and houses which come equipped with various modern day conveniences like washer/dryers and fully equipped kitchens though some even offer added ‘luxuries’ like hot tubs, private pools, games rooms and fitness rooms. Some vacation rental owners even throw in ‘freebies’ like wine and cheese and free housekeeping services for their renters in order to get them to book extended stays at their rentals. If you are one of those vacationers who is planning to take in a sizeable chunk of the various Orlando attractions then staying in a vacation rental in Davenport makes much economic sense for you can actually save a lot by not staying at a usually more expensive and touristy Orlando hotel or resort.
