Looking for laid-back living with a little luxury and a lot of personality?
Welcome to Feature Friday, where we explore standout neighborhoods that offer more than just great homes…they offer a lifestyle. And today’s spotlight is on one of the most vibrant, vacation-forward communities near Walt Disney World:
🏝 Margaritaville Resort Orlando Cottages
Yes…that Margaritaville.
Inspired by Jimmy Buffett’s easy-breezy island mindset, this community offers something totally different from the usual Central Florida neighborhoods.
📍 Where Is It?
Margaritaville Cottages are located in Kissimmee, less than:
- 🏰 10 minutes from Animal Kingdom
- 🎢 15 minutes from the other Disney parks
- 🍽️ Steps from the Promenade at Sunset Walk (with dozens of restaurants & shops)
- 🛒 Close to Target, Publix, and big-box convenience
- ✈️ 30 minutes from Orlando International Airport
It’s close to everything but feels like you’re in a tropical escape.
🏡 What Are the Cottages Like?
These colorful, standalone homes offer a rare blend of:
- Turnkey ownership (fully furnished options available)
- Vacation home flexibility (zoned for short-term rentals)
- Resort access + hotel perks
- Floorplans ranging from 1–8 bedrooms
- Private pools, balconies, and themed interiors (some even have tiki bars!)
Perfect for:
- Second home buyers
- Investors wanting STR income with style
- Retirees who want a fun, no-fuss lifestyle
- Disney superfans who want a whimsical place to host friends and family
🌴 What Makes It Special?
This isn’t just a home…it’s a vibe. Living in Margaritaville feels like vacation 24/7 thanks to:
- Multiple resort-style pools
- Full-service spa
- Fitness center
- Bars and casual dining with live music
