Thrill Dreams

Sitting within an 80-acre resort next door to Universal Orlando, this apartment puts a serious amount of holiday infrastructure on your doorstep – water slides, a lazy river, Topgolf, and pickleball courts, all without leaving the grounds. Back at the apartment, the bright, connected living and kitchen space with island seating makes it easy to come together between adventures, while the screened pool terrace means you can take a dip in full Florida sunshine without the mosquitoes gatecrashing. Families with younger kids will appreciate the arcade-themed bedroom, and daily shuttles to the theme parks make days out effortless.

Home truths:
* This home accommodates a maximum of eight adults and four children.
* The resort shuttle to the theme parks requires advance reservations, so check available times and book your seats as soon as you know your plans for the day.
* While this home can accommodate 12 guests, there's only seating for 8 at the dining table.
* The kitchen and bathrooms come stocked with starter essentials, which is handy when you arrive late, but you'll want to do a grocery run for the rest of your stay.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, sports courts, playground, Topgolf swing suite, fitness centre, and water park here. They're shared with the resort's other guests.
