Description Slides and Sundown: Orlando

Sitting within 80 acres of resort grounds just steps from International Drive and under 2 miles from Epic Universe, this four-bedroom apartment earns its place as a theme-park base – though it might surprise you how little you feel the need to leave. Days here can involve a perfecting your golf swing on a simulated course, a spin through the water park, or laps in the private pool before firing up the outdoor grill on the covered lanai. The pirate-themed bedroom – complete with shipwreck bunk beds and a skull cave – will delight younger guests, while a daily shuttle runs to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando when the parks do call.
