Description Captain’s Cove: Orlando

The kids won't want to leave this home – and honestly, neither will the grown-ups. The children's bedroom is built around a pirate island theme, with two bunk beds styled as a shipwreck and a skull cave, and immersive wall art that makes bedtime feel like an adventure. Out back, a private screened pool terrace with a lounge area and outdoor grill gives everyone a place to decompress after a day at the parks. Spread across 80 acres, the resort also delivers an on-site water park, a Topgolf swing suite, and a full fitness centre – plus a shuttle service running directly to Disney World and Universal Orlando.
