Gated-Community Vacation Rentals in Kissimmee Near Disney
MyOrlandoStay's pet-friendly 3–4-bedroom townhomes are in the gated Crestwynd Bay and Emerald Island Resort communities in Kissimmee 34747. You get an entire home with shared community-pool access, not a private pool; gated access is a community feature, not a guarantee of safety.
| Option | Best for | What you get | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crestwynd Bay — MyOrlandoStay townhomes | Families seeking a gated Disney-side community and shared amenities. | 3-bedroom entire homes with kitchens, laundry and shared community pools; about 2 miles to Disney's main-gate area. | Disney-side, not on-site. Approximate off-peak driving estimate: about 5 minutes to Walt Disney World main gate. Allow extra time for traffic, parking and entry. No private pool or included park shuttle. Check each home's occupancy and final dated price. |
| Emerald Island Resort — MyOrlandoStay townhomes | Families seeking a gated Disney-side community and shared amenities. | 3 or 4-bedroom entire homes with kitchens, laundry and shared community pools; about 3 miles to Disney's main-gate area. | Disney-side, not on-site. Approximate off-peak driving estimate: about 10 minutes to Walt Disney World main gate. Allow extra time for traffic, parking and entry. No private pool or included park shuttle. Check each home's occupancy and final dated price. |
| International Drive / Convention Center-area rental | Universal-focused trips where the exact address offers a shorter Universal journey. | An alternative Orlando-area base, not MyOrlandoStay inventory; amenities and home types vary by listing. | Compare the actual route to each park, including Epic Universe separately. Verify kitchen, pets, pool access, parking and final fees with that provider. |
| Larger private-pool villa rental | Groups needing extra bedrooms or a pool exclusive to their party. | A different accommodation type to look for when shared-pool townhomes do not meet your needs; not MyOrlandoStay inventory. | Verify bedroom count, maximum guests, exclusive pool access, heating charges, location and full price. A larger villa is not automatically closer to your parks. |
Best for
- Disney-area families comfortable following community arrival and access rules.
- Families wanting an entire townhome with a kitchen, laundry and shared community-pool access.
- Guests bringing pets under the house rules; the pet fee is $25 per night or $100 per month.
Not the right fit if
- Your trip is Universal-only and minimizing the Universal commute is your priority; compare a Universal-side base.
- You need a private pool, more than 4 bedrooms, or an included park shuttle; we offer none of these.
- You expect a gate to guarantee safety or want a private-pool villa.
A gated-community rental adds an arrival step, not a reason to skip reading your check-in instructions. MyOrlandoStay’s published homes are in Crestwynd Bay and Emerald Island Resort, two gated communities in Kissimmee FL 34747. This guide focuses on guest access and practical costs; the community-comparison page covers choosing between the locations.
No home has a private pool. Every stay includes access to a shared outdoor community pool, heated about November–March.

Prepare for arrival before you reach the gate
Confirm your exact unit, community and arrival date in the reservation. Check-in is after 5:00 PM; do not plan to use the home before that time without an agreed arrangement. Read the booking’s arrival instructions for the current gate and home-entry procedure rather than using another guest’s old access code.
If you have questions about a late arrival, a second vehicle or a guest-access requirement, contact the owner at (407) 557-8999 before travelling. We do not publish gate codes or promise that one entry method applies permanently to every community. Gated access does not replace keeping the home and your belongings secure.
Separate parking, resort access and park parking
Parking at Crestwynd Bay is free. Emerald Island Resort charges $20 per car for access for the stay. Include all the vehicles you plan to bring when comparing total costs; do not describe Emerald Island as having no access charge merely because parking is at the home.
Community access is separate from theme-park parking and transport. A gated rental does not include Disney or Universal parking, a park shuttle or entry tickets. Check the current booking instructions if your vehicle or arrival plans need a special arrangement; we do not promise unrestricted parking for every vehicle type.
Shared amenities and realistic expectations
Community-pool access is included with the stay, and the outdoor pool is heated about November–March. It is shared, not reserved exclusively for your party. Follow the posted community rules and ask about any facility essential to your trip before booking rather than assuming every amenity in a resort-wide advertisement belongs to your home.
A gate is not a guarantee of safety, silence or a particular staffing arrangement. Choose your actual townhome for its layout, occupancy and price, then compare communities for your daily journeys. Crestwynd Bay is about 2 miles and Emerald Island about 3 miles from the Disney main-gate area; individual parks and parking lots are separate destinations.
