There are many restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets from mouth watering Steak Houses to Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Asian, Burger and Pizza restaurants all less than 2 to 3 miles from the Windsor Hills Resort.
Is there transportation or a Shuttle to the parks?
We tell our guests that we recommend getting a rental car. Why? Because you are so close to Disney, having a car means you can come and go at any time. Every day you’ll pay $11 to park at Disney, but the good news is that once you pay in the morning, you can move around and park at any Disney park all day long and drive from park to park if you want to, no extra charge. So with a car you will be able to go back and forth to and from the Condo to any Disney park at any time. It’s free to park at the Condo, and you are right outside your door. Plus, to get to most restaurants, you’ll want to have a car. But, again, we have guests all the time that just take a cab from the airport direct to our Condo, and they use the transportation thing and it's just fine, they have a great time and don't have to worry about (or have the expense of) a rental car! Your call.

Why are your dates Saturday to Saturday? I don’t like that because my dates are different!
When we first built our Condo business, we wanted to offer the absolute lowest prices so families could afford to stay in a Condo. So here’s what we did: We added up all our expenses for a year (mortgage, taxes, electric, condo association fees, phone, internet, etc.) and divided it by 52 (since there are 52 weeks in a year). That gave us what we needed on average each week to “break even”. We are not trying to make money off our guests, just pay expenses. We then set the schedule on a Saturday to Saturday week since that was what 97% of all guests were asking for. So then all we do is SELL OUT all 52 weeks, some LOWER rate, some HIGHER rate - and that covers all our expenses. We have learned that when we only rent 3 or 4 nights in a week, then the rest of the week almost always goes UNRENTED. In short, we pay for it. We don’t feel it is fair for us to pay for your vacation, so that’s why all 52 weeks must sell out. But here’s the good news: Our rates are so low in off peak periods that it is better to pay for the extra week and only use the nights you want. We have many guests who do that. They want 10 days, but buy 14 because it is still less expensive than many other Condos. You cannot find a small hotel room for what we charge on a per-night basis.
How about the Beach, or Kennedy Space Center?
Ahh, some of our favorite places. You may want to visit Cocoa Beach too. It's 48 minutes from Windsor Hills to Cocoa Beach. Slightly less to Kennedy Space Center or the Beach right behind Ron Jon's Surf Shop (you must visit there). Overall, call it 45 minutes, it's expressway/freeway the whole way! You also will have a few toll booths on rt 528 east.
I hope these answer your questions. Again, we'd love to have you, we know what you want as a family coming to Disney, we did it for years and years, so we understand. Please have a fabulous time no matter where you decide to stay, because having great vacations is so important for your family. If we can't help you with open dates, there are many owners here who may be open, and they can help, so let me know. Thanks
