Stay in a 3–4 bedroom Kissimmee townhome for an Epic Universe trip. See approximate drives, separate parking destinations, shared pools and pet rules.
Vacation Rentals for Epic Universe Trips — A Kissimmee Home Base
MyOrlandoStay offers 3–4-bedroom Kissimmee townhomes for drive-to Epic Universe visits, particularly when Disney is also on the itinerary. These are Disney-side homes with kitchens, laundry and shared community pools, not on-site or walking-distance Epic accommodation; use Epic's separate parking destination and the sourced estimates below.
| Option | Best for | What you get | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crestwynd Bay — MyOrlandoStay townhomes | Disney + Epic visitors who want an entire Disney-side townhome. | 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. Public community guides estimate about 25–30 minutes to Epic Universe. These are traffic-dependent estimates, not timed journeys from each home. 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 | Disney + Epic visitors who want an entire Disney-side townhome. | 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. Public community guides estimate about 25–30 minutes to Epic Universe; another guide allows 25–35 minutes. These are traffic-dependent estimates, not timed journeys from each home. 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
- Families combining Disney and Epic Universe who accept a drive-to stay.
- 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.
Epic Universe is a different arrival destination from Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. A Kissimmee townhome suits families who want their own kitchen and laundry between park days, especially when Disney is also on the itinerary. It is not a walkable or on-site Epic stay.
No home has a private pool. Every stay includes access to a shared outdoor community pool, heated about November–March.

Use the Epic parking destination
Universal lists Epic Universe parking at 1001 Epic Boulevard, Orlando FL 32819. Its original parks use the garage at 6000 Universal Boulevard. A journey estimate or navigation pin for Universal Studios is not a substitute for an Epic arrival plan. Check the official parking directions again before your visit.
Leave additional time beyond the drive for parking, security and walking to the park entrance. We do not include park tickets, parking or a park shuttle. Arrange your own transport and check current parking charges with Universal, not the rental’s nightly-price display.
What the community drive estimates actually tell you
Existing sourced community guides estimate about 25–30 minutes from Crestwynd Bay to Epic Universe, and about 17.5 miles / 25–30 minutes from an Emerald Island home; another Emerald guide allows 25–35 minutes. These Epic estimates are separate from our Universal Orlando figures. Our approximate off-peak Universal Orlando drives are 22 minutes from Crestwynd Bay and 26 minutes from Emerald Island; allow extra time for traffic, parking and entry.
These estimates are from public community guides, not guaranteed routes from each MOS front door. I-4 traffic, weather, roadworks and departure time can extend them. Choose this base for a mix of Disney and Epic days, space and self-catering—not because it is the closest rental to Epic.
Choose the home for the days between park visits
All published homes have 3 or 4 bedrooms, a full kitchen, Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer. Check each unit’s maximum guests and sleeping layout; we do not offer 5+ bedroom mansions. Cats and dogs are welcome under our pet rules, with a fee of $25 per night or $100 per month; a pet-friendly home does not establish the park’s pet policy.
Browse the real homes below, open the unit page for photos and its cleaning fee, then enter your dates and party size. The displayed nightly from-price is dated and excludes cleaning and tax. A multi-park stay can use the same home throughout, but availability and the final price are confirmed on the booking page.
