- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
House4themouse is situated on a five star gated resort, just an eight minute drive from Walt Disney World, close to Interstate 4, and toll roads 417 (Greenway) and 429 (Beltway) for easy access to and from all parts of central Florida, and routes further afield. We are 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport and about an hour's drive from Sanford International Airport.
Our home boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and with a new queen-sized sofa-sleeper can comfortably accommodate eight people, whether you are travelling with extended family, or are a group of friends looking to enjoy the joy of central Florida. When you're done with exploring, a fully equipped kitchen is available for your cooking / dining needs, and there's plenty of space to relax in the lounge, bedrooms or on the screened lanai. Should you need to keep in touch with home / work, free wi-fi is available within our home.
The resort itself boasts an Olympic-sized swimming pool, hot tub, separate kids pool, children's play area, and sports courts (tennis, basketball, volleyball). Within the clubhouse itself is a 3D mini-movie theatre where you can elect the movies that play, a games room, shop, internet cafe, games arcade and Nintendo Wii room.
If you've chosen not to drive, shuttle buses operate to the main attractions (local charges payable), though sometimes taking taxis can work out just as economical. Talk to us about your requirements when booking.
Atlantic or Gulf Coast beaches are an hour away, and there's a whole range of leisure and sporting activities on the doorstep, whether you are participating or watching. Add in great family restaurants, incredible shopping, and we believe you couldn't be better placed to enjoy your Florida Adventure.
We aim you make House4themouse your 'Home Away From Home'. We want you and your family to feel comfortable, not only in your surroundings, but in booking with us too. So, the relaxation starts from the moment you make your enquiry. You will deal with Paula and Ray and no-one else in making your booking, and we are never more than a phone call or email away from answering any questions you may have.
Once you arrive, the peace of mind continues. Key collection is at the resort (no trailing around Kissimmee to pick up keys), and you'll have the 24/7 back up of our local management team, should you need them during your stay.
All in all, at House4themouse, you are about as close to the magic of the Walt Disney Resort as you can be, without the additional budget of staying on Disney property. We look forward to discussing your family requirements. Talk to us today and let us help make your Florida vacation the most magical ever.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at House 4 the Mouse and would recommend it highly to anyone vacationing in the Orlando area. The condo was spacious, very clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. It is a great place for families - very safe and secure. We have a toddler and the pack n play was just perfect along with the stuffed animals in the Winnie the Pooh room. Thanks so much for making our vacation so great! We would definitely stay at House 4 the Mouse again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Great condo in a great location. Sure beats a hotel any day. We were a family of 2 adults with 3 kids and it was spacious. Owners are quick and courteous with answers to questions and have a well documented information package esp. good for first time renters and those who may not have been to Orlando. Highly recommended.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The condo at Windsor Palms was fantastic. It was spacious, close to I4&192, and had all the comforts of being at home. The price was the best part! We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Florida.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Thanks Ray and Paula we have had a great time in your condo, your directions made it easy to find, it is very comfortable and the bedrooms huge! Its close to the 192 & I4, and a short distance from the parks and shops. There are plenty of restaurants close by to choose from, the perfect location. It was a pleasure communicating with you and wouldn't hesitate to use you and your lovely condo on our next trip. Best wishes Sue, Kevin and familyDid you find this review helpful?

Great place to relax and enjoy sunny Florida. This condo's furnishing and decor exceed the 5 or 6 others that we have stayed in at Windsor Palms. Very comfortable living room furniture, new LCD HD TV with HD programming. Beds are comfortable and condo was very clean. Ray and Paula were great to work with and very responsive to emails, even when we were in the midst of our stay. Had small issue with DVD player, and it was replaced within 24 hours. Can't say enough good about our entire stay and experience!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Hi from Paula and Ray, your hosts at House4themouse. We are a UK based couple, who along with our adult son, love Florida and all it has to offer. As professional people we work hard, and love to play hard too, taking in the American sports, both in the US and at home in the UK when the chance arises. Paula's background is in customer services, hence the way we care for our guests from the initial enquiry, until long after your vacation. Ray has an event management and media background, and will provide the attention to detail, if there is anything you would like researched ahead of your vacation.
Why the Owner Chose Windsor Palms (formerly Wyndham Palms):
Key for us in choosing a holiday home, and one which we could share with our guests, was the location. Our home is situated in a five star gated community and is just 4 miles (7-8 minutes drive) from the Walt Disney World Resort. We are about 2 minutes from the main I-4 route and about 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport. Not only is the resort beautifully laid out, it is just the right number of properties to make it feel homely and personal, yet boasts amenities of resorts far bigger and less personal. We find House4themouse a tranquil base for exploring the magic of central Florida and hope you will too.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
First things first, our home enjoys a ground floor location, so no stairs for small children, or the elderly or infirm to manage. Come to think of it, heavy luggage or shopping are easier too! Our three bedroom / 2 bathroom home is fully air conditioned, boasts free wi-fi internet, cable TV in every bedroom plus the lounge, and a screened Lanai. It's ideal for a bug-free breakfast in the Florida sunshine, or a relaxing evening drink after a hard day of theme-parking! Two bedrooms are en suite, with the third (twin) room sharing bathroom two. A new queen-sized sofa-sleeper means our home is plenty big enough for 8 people. There's a fully fitted kitchen with all appliances, crockery and silverware for the whole family, plus a washer and dryer. For our smallest guests we have two pack 'n' play cribs and two high chairs.
