Pirate's Treasure

Sitting within an 80-acre resort next door to Universal Orlando and Epic Universe, this home puts Florida's biggest theme parks on your doorstep – with a daily shuttle to Walt Disney World nine miles away. When you're not park-hopping, the resort's own Aqua Bay water park delivers slides, a Lazy Loop, and a wet playground, while the Topgolf swing suite, and pickleball courts round out the options closer to home. Back at the house, a private pool with covered lanai and an outdoor grill makes for an easy evening, and the pirate-themed fourth bedroom – complete with shipwreck and skull cave bunk beds – will be non-negotiable for younger guests.
