Treasure Villa

On an eighty-acre resort next door to Universal Orlando, this apartment is built for families who want a full holiday without leaving the grounds. The private screened pool and covered lanai earn their keep after a day at the parks, and the resort's water park and swimming pools are steps away when the kids want more (a golf simulator and professional fitness centre mean grown-ups are equally well catered for). A themed children's room will do most of the heavy lifting at bedtime – and a resort shuttle runs directly to Disney World and Universal Orlando when you're ready to head out.

Home truths:
* This home sleeps a maximum of six adults and four children.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, sports courts, playground, fitness centre, and water park here. They're shared with the resort's other guests.
* This home is on two levels, so it may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
* The kitchen and bathrooms are stocked with enough essentials to get you started, but you'll need to shop for supplies for the rest of your stay. If you're landing late, there's enough to get through the first evening without a supermarket run.
* The resort shuttle to the theme parks requires advance reservations – it won't be available as a walk-up service.
