Storey Lake in one paragraph:
A gated Kissimmee resort built around a lazy river, water slides, splash area and clubhouses, sitting between Disney World (~15 min) and the Universal/Epic Universe corridor (~20 min). You stay in privately owned villas and townhomes, not hotel rooms — ours is a 6-bedroom single-family home a 5-minute walk from the water complex.

Check Availability & BookCommon questions
Is Storey Lake Resort a hotel?
No — it's a gated resort community of privately owned vacation villas and townhomes sharing a clubhouse, lazy river and water amenities. You book a specific home; ours is a 6-bedroom villa a 5-minute walk from the lazy river.
What does resort access cost?
It's included with our villa — lazy river, slides, splash area, resort pool, fitness center and basketball. Mini golf is the only amenity with a small fee. We register your access QR code before you arrive.
How does check-in work?
Self check-in with a smart lock at a gated resort. Your door code, gate access, and resort amenity QR code all arrive before check-in day (4 PM check-in, 10 AM check-out).
Where exactly is the villa?
4806 Kings Castle Circle, Kissimmee, FL 34746 — inside gated Storey Lake Resort, about 15 minutes to Disney World and 20 to Universal and Epic Universe. Check the map on this page; what you see is where you stay.
Is parking free?
Yes — the driveway fits 1–2 cars plus unassigned resort spaces, all free.
Can the pool be heated?
Yes — optional electric pool & spa heat at $40/night plus tax, applied to the whole stay, with 3 days' advance notice (a pool this size takes days to warm, so heat can't be added mid-stay). The spa is a spillover and heats with the pool — worth it October through April.
Are pets allowed?
Yes — up to 2 potty-trained dogs, with a $200 pet fee per stay. House rules: dogs stay off beds and furniture, are never left alone uncrated, and are leashed on resort grounds. Service animals are always welcome with no fee.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation for 48 hours after booking when your check-in is at least 14 days away. After that: full refund up to 30 days before check-in, 50% between 30 and 14 days, and non-refundable inside 14 days — but if your dates re-book, we refund what we recover. For total peace of mind, trip insurance is a good idea for any big group trip.
Allergic to dogs — should you book?
A straight answer: the home takes dogs only (no cats — cat dander is the persistent one), every stay ends with a full professional turnover including HEPA vacuuming, and every linen layer on every bed is laundered between guests. Mild sensitivities usually do fine. If your allergy is severe, no pet-friendly home is truly zero-dander — text us at (321) 424-6626 and we'll tell you exactly when a dog last stayed before you book.
