Davenport Florida villas are often referred to as “underrated” or more correctly termed underpublicized in our opinion. Davenport Fl tends to get much less press than its bigger neighbor, Kissimmee. However, in a recent post on Davenport vacation rentals, we summarized some of our favorite reasons for selecting a villa in Davenport. Among other reasons these included:
- Golf – There are some excellent courses in Davenport for the money especially compared to the premium greens fees that many Kissimmee courses charge. Your Davenport vacation would not be complete without playing a game of golf on one of the area’s challenging but fun courses.
- Location – Close proximity to Disney World is a big plus. The 429 Toll road that runs west of Disney and adjacent to Davenport/Kissimmee is a well kept secret. Even during the summer, the back gates of Disney are reachable within minutes of most Davenport villas with little traffic.
- Privacy/Security – In addition to the great selection of various gated resort communities in Davenport, the city is typically a little less harried and busy than Kissimmee. Most parts of Davenport Florida are very residential and less commercial which gives the town a more neighborly feel. Your family will love the private residential options in the Davenport area.
Why are Davenport vacation rentals typically underpublicized? Davenport Fl is part of the larger Polk County Florida area. Davenport vacation attractions are mostly marketed in conjunction with Polk County’s efforts, rather than as a distinct segment.
In contrast, Kissimmee vacation rentals are known widely as a distinct lodging niche in Central Florida. Many communities in Kissimmee have also been around for awhile, and conversely new Davenport communities are just becoming known to guests. Over time, as Davenport grows and more and more visitors enjoy the city and its amenities, Davenport villas will become a preferred option for any Disney vacation.
