Staying At A Sunshine State Retreat in Kissimmee, Florida
Orlando, Florida can have moments where spending money on a hotel doesn’t seem too ideal. With all the theme parks in the area hotels can really run you a great deal of money especially in peak times. After doing a little searching I found this cute home to stay in that was attached to the owners home.
Location
The sunshine retreat was located in a nice community in Kissimmee. There were so many nice homes in the area. The drive from the airport wasn’t too long. You certainly need a car for the area. Even going to the store, such as Walmart, a car was needed. Besides that it s a great location and quiet. It is centrally located near many attractions and doesn’t take much time to get there.

There are actually 2 homes or little apartments attached to the main home. So there were some other people staying on the other side, but I never saw them. The owners allow you to park in their driveway and just walk through a gated door to get to the apartment area. As soon as I walked up to the door I saw my name in chalk. I thought that was a nice personally touch and cute.

Upon walking inside there was a long hallway. To the left was a bedroom. It was a nice size with a ceiling fan. There was a chair to relax in and a television. Walking down the hallway further was a nice sized bathroom with all the towels and wash cloths you could need. The shower also had gel, shampoo, and conditioner dispensers. There was also ample counter space.

The last room on the left was another bedroom. This room had a high table and chairs, a toaster, and also had a television. Although there was no cable they did have Netflix, Hulu, and more. Next to the back bedroom was an efficiency kitchen area. I couldn’t cook anything, but there was a microwave. There was also cups, plates, and flatware. A mini fridge was also below the sink.

The Extras
Outside in the backyard were plenty of sitting areas and a hammock. There was also a nice size inclosed pool and jacuzzi. It was a little chilly so I didn’t use the pool. On the other side of the pool was a fire pit and a grill. I tried out the fire pit, but it didn’t last long as I ran out of sticks. So I took my happy self back inside. There was also wifi and the connection was great so I was very happy about that.

An Overview
I enjoyed my brief stay at my Sunshine State Retreat. It was really nice and rejuvenating to relax. I loved how the backyard lit up at night. I wish there was a stove, but I got by with the toaster and microwave. I would have loved to gotten into the pool, but I believe there is always a next time. There was also a book left in one of the rooms that had notes from past travelers who stayed there. I loved reading the book and added to it myself!

Great way to save some coin and relax. Sometimes I love low-key vacations.
Holly Dayz
Sometimes that is what you need!

Cute. I’ve got to get the courage soon to try and airbnb. The price is too great not to give it a shot.
Holly Dayz
Airbnb is great. There are so many great options

We haven’t tried Airbnb yet. Gotta give it a shot. This looks like a cool place to stay. I agree, the name on the chalk board was a cute touch.
Holly Dayz
I really liked that touch. Made is so much more personal.

This looks really nice. I’m staying in central Florida this summer, but we rented a full house. This would be really good for a solo getaway.
Holly Dayz
Yea or a couple of people since there are 2 bedrooms.

As I was reading this I had a totally different vision in mind. Once I saw the pictures I was surprised at how nice it was. The fir pit looks really cool, and nice touch with the name.

It was really nice. I enjoyed my little time there.

This place looks super spacious! And it looks nice and clean. I love that chalkboard with your name on it.

Holly Dayz
It was. I would stay there again.

I’m all about saving a coin but I’ve never used Air bnb. I’ll definitely have to keep it in my for my next trip.

Having lived in Florida for nearly 3 years, not to far from Orlando I frequented the area often on weekends. This write up brings back good memories!
Holly Dayz
I am glad it brought back some great memories for you. I can see why, it is a nice area.

What a lovely little find – especially the outdoor space I love the jacuzzi and lights arrangement!
Holly Dayz
The outdoor space was really nice. If it wasn’t so chilly I would have enjoyed it even more.
Rosemary
What a great gem you found. Sounds like the perfect place for a little R&R. I’m a big fan of Airbnb and it’s always great to see what different types of accommodations are available.
Holly Dayz
It was a great place to get some R&R. It was very much needed. I love Airbnb.

That looks like the perfect little place to retreat to. It is a nice touch to put your name on the chalkboard. It’s the extra things that make it special

I loved the chalkboard with my name on it. The little things always go a long way.

I love Air BNB! Definitely going to make use of it when I go to the US next year.
Holly Dayz
Me too. Make use of it anywhere you travel. There are so many great places.
elizabeth
I love AirBnB – we use it all the time! You find some great places usually cheaper, nicer and with more room than a hotel.
Holly Dayz
I do too. You can find some great stuff on there.
fivebeansfood
Some of those little places can be much more interesting than the bigger ones. And with a name like Kissimmee, it sounds like an interesting place!
Holly Dayz
They are. It was a great place to relax a bit.
Anna @ shenANNAgans
I have a voucher or 3 for airbnb, I really must have a whirl at staying in one. I am all for staying in places that are smaller, not chains, often they are the places that you get the very best memories from.
