Formosa Gardens Estates villas to rent, arguably one of the closest communities to Disney World. This luxury gated community has premium Orlando vacation rentals making this a very popular location. NO SERVICE FEES

Built around a central lake (Star Lake), many of these Formosa Gardens Orlando villas have fabulous lake views. This executive community is an ideal holiday location for families. Formosa Gardens gated community is located off Kissimmee's Hwy 192 West at Mile Marker 4 - less than 3 miles from the Disney theme parks, so you can be first in the gates each morning!

What makes Formosa Gardens sort after is the size and layout of the homes, as most of them have larger than typical plots of land and pools and are general living spaces.

We have several custom-built homes like Mickey Atlantis Mansion (Mickeys Atlantis Manor), 8,000 sq ft and has eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a huge pool. Its elegant furnishing home cinema is unlike anything else you will find in a typical vacation rental, and it's homes like this that make Formosa Gardens villas very sort after.

RESTAURANTS NEAR FORMOSA GARDENS KISSIMMEE

Less than two minutes in the car on Formosa Gardens Blvd, which is right out of the gates, you have a sports bar called Buffalo Wild Wings which serves burgers & fries plus pitchers of beer and is a great place to watch all of the day's games and has a great atmosphere when the matches are live, so if sports are your thing, this is the place for you. A Red Lobster is almost next door, serving fresh seafood, clam chowder, steak, and chicken.

Less than 5 minutes from our Formosa Gardens vacation rentals is Rolling Oaks Commons which has several restaurants and a Super Target super market. From Formosa Gardens, head back out to HWY192 and then turn left and head about a mile down where you will come to some traffic lights; on either side, you will see many restaurants. You have Millers Ale House, another sports/family restaurant with nightly specials, so check out the menu to see what's cooking.

On the opposite corner is an Applebees, and then across the road, you have Hooters, which you may not think is family-friendly. There is also a Bahama Breeze, Olive Garden, Rock & Brews, plus a few others like Flippers Pizzeria and Sweet Tomatoes for salad lovers!

As you can see, you have access to more than enough restaurants while staying at Formosa Gardens to keep everyone in the family happy. There are of course the usual fast-food restaurants nearby like McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Burger King for that late-night snack or 4th meal as Taco Bell calls it and if you love subs you have Subway right there, my favorite is a meatball sub!

We have created a welcome pack listing over 60 restaurants along HWY192 in Kissimmee. It has all the details like phone numbers, links to menus, and google / TripAdvisor reviews. These restaurants are between mile markers 4 and 6 and just a few minutes from Formosa Gardens.

HOW FAR ARE THE ORLANDO THEME PARKS FROM FORMOSA GARDENS?

ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (MCO) TO FORMOSA GARDENS

Directions via the 417 Toll Road

The closest airport to Formosa Gardens is Orlando International Airport (MCO) which is 28 miles away. There are several ways to get from the airport to Formosa Gardens, but I find the best way is via the 417 Toll road.

Once you have picked up your hire car and left the carpark, look for the 417 South Exit Toll road. The sign should be brown and might also have Disney – Kissimmee listed on it. You may have to make a loop of the airport to get the right exit but just keep following the signs.

Follow the 417 South Toll road for about 16 miles until you see signs for Interstate 4 West (I4). The 417 toll road should cost about $4, so make sure you have some cash.

Join I4 West and follow for 3.5 miles, then take Exit 60 onto the 429 North. Take the first exit off of the 429, which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash-only toll booth, so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth, go straight to the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side. Make sure you have the gate code to get in.

Directions via the 528 Toll Road

If you prefer to avoid a few tolls, you can take the North Exit when leaving MCO. It would be signposted as North Exit (528 Toll). Look for the 528 Toll (West) To I4 (International Dr). I don’t often take this route as the 528 is a busier road.

Follow the 528 Toll and then join I4 West. Stay on I4 West for 7 miles and take Exit 64. It will read 192 Kissimmee / Magic Kingdom, follow for a few miles and then take 192 West (Magic Kingdom / Wide World of Sports). Stay on the 192 West for 3.5 and turn left onto Formosa Gardens Blvd. A Red Lobster restaurant is on one corner, and Harley Davidson is on the other.

Follow Formosa Gardens Blvd for about 1 mile to the 4-way stop. Cross over and then the Formosa Gardens Estate in on the left.

SANDFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (SFB) TO FORMOSA GARDENS

Again there are several ways to get from Sanford International Airport (SFB) to Formosa Gardens, but I think the best way is via the 417 Toll Road (55 miles). When leaving Sanford airport, you want to take 417 South and follow it until you reach I4. This is a toll road and will cost you around $9.

Join I4 West and follow for 3.5 miles, then take Exit 60 onto the 429 North. Take the first exit off of the 429, which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash-only toll booth, so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth, go straight over at the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side.

TAMPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (TPA) TO FORMOSA GARDENS

As with all Americans, there are several ways to get everywhere, but I have hopefully listed the quickest way. It is 70 miles from Tampa airport to Formosa Gardens, but it’s a very easy drive.

When you leave Tampa International Airport (TPA), you will be taking I-275 North / Tampa via the 60 East. Once on I-275 North towards Tampa, look for the I4 East (Orlando) Exit 45B. It’s a very straightforward drive, but the traffic can be heavy, especially if you arrive during rush hour, so take your time and don’t panic. You should get plenty on warnings for your junctions as they are very well signposted.

Once you are on the I4 East, follow this for around 55 miles and then take exit 60, which is the 429 Toll North to Apopka. Take the first exit off of the 429, which is Exit 1A (Sinclair Rd). This has a cash-only toll booth, so you will need exact coins. I think it is currently $0.75. Take the blue lane and chuck the coins in the bucket, be careful not to miss!!

Once you are through the toll booth, go straight over at the lights and follow the road (Connector Rd) for 2 miles. The Formosa Gardens Estate is on the righthand side.

We hope the above directions have helped you find your way to your Formosa Gardens villa, and you have a great time in Orlando.
