Wild Ones

Sitting within a wider resort's 80-acre grounds, this home puts Epic Universe and Universal Studios Orlando under two miles away – and a resort shuttle runs to Disney World and Universal Orlando several times a day, so you can leave the car behind. Back at the resort, the water park, Topgolf swing suite, and pickleball courts mean there's rarely a dull moment between park days. The home itself is built around families – the kids' bedroom, complete with bunk beds, floor-to-ceiling safari murals, and a slide, will be the stuff of holiday legend. Wind down together in the light-filled living and dining space or cool off in the private screened pool on the lanai as evenings draw to a close.
