Windsor Hills vs. Other Disney Area Resorts – What Makes It Special?

When planning your Walt Disney World vacation, choosing the right place to stay is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. While there’s no shortage of resorts, hotels, and vacation rentals near Disney, Windsor Hills Resort stands out as one of the most family-friendly, affordable, and convenient places to stay.

As the proud owner of a 3-bedroom townhouse at Windsor Hills, I’m excited to share what makes this community so special — especially compared to other Disney-area accommodations.

1. Location, Location, Location – Just 2 Miles to Disney

Windsor Hills is one of the closest vacation rental communities to Walt Disney World, located just 2 miles (5 minutes) from the main gates. That means less time in traffic and more time soaking up the magic. Many other rental communities and hotels are 20+ minutes away — and that time adds up quickly.

2. Resort Amenities Without Extra Resort Fees

Staying at Windsor Hills gives you access to resort-style amenities at no extra cost — no resort fees, no surprise charges.

Enjoy:

  • A heated lagoon-style pool

  • Two-story waterslides

  • A splash pad for little ones

  • Hot tub, fitness center, and arcade

  • A 40-seat movie theater

  • Tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts

All included with your stay.

3. Your Own 3-Bedroom Townhouse – Space for the Whole Family

Forget cramped hotel rooms. Our 3-bedroom, 3-bath townhouse offers:

  • Room to spread out (perfect for families or multi-generational groups)

  • A fully equipped kitchen to save on dining out

  • In-unit washer and dryer (a must after park days!)

  • A private screened splash pool — no shared spaces

It’s the comfort of home with all the perks of a resort.

4. Private Splash Pool – A Game-Changer

Many Windsor Hills townhomes, including mine, feature a private splash pool right outside your back door. Start your morning with a quiet dip or wind down after a day at the parks — without packing up towels or battling crowds.

Compare that to a hotel pool filled with guests and minimal personal space, and it’s easy to see why guests love this feature.

5. Gated Community with 24/7 Security

Windsor Hills is a manned, gated community with round-the-clock security at the entrance. That peace of mind is something you won’t always find at other vacation rental areas.

6. Family-Focused Extras

Many Windsor Hills homes (including mine!) are stocked with family travel in mind:

  • Stroller

  • Pack ‘n Play

  • High chair

  • Baby gate (for the stairs)

  • Kid-friendly dishes, books, and more

You’ll pack less and stress less.

7. Free Parking & No Hidden Costs

Unlike many hotels that charge daily parking or resort fees, Windsor Hills guests park for free. My guests also enjoy no extra booking or service fees when reserving directly through my website.

8. Themed Bedrooms & Magical Touches

Want to keep the Disney magic going even after you leave the parks? Our townhouse features a hand-painted kids’ room with over 40 Disney characters. Your little ones will be wowed — and bedtime will never be boring again.

9. Ideal for Park Days AND Rest Days

Even on your non-park days, there’s so much to do right on site. Whether it’s swimming, playing at the castle-themed playground, catching a movie, or enjoying a picnic by the lake, you’ll never hear “I’m bored!”

10. Better Value Than Hotels or Other Rentals

When you compare Windsor Hills to other Disney-area hotels and rentals, the value is hard to beat. You get more space, more privacy, and more comfort — all within minutes of Disney. For families, the cost per person is often far less than a single hotel room.

🏡 Why We Chose Windsor Hills

We fell in love with Windsor Hills because it checked every box: safety, proximity to Disney, amazing amenities, and a strong sense of community. Our guests often tell us they’ll never stay in a hotel again — and many come back year after year.
