Explore Kissimmee from vacation home rentals

Set just south of Orlando in Florida's Osceola County, Kissimmee's population has doubled twice since Walt Disney World opened nearby in 1971. Once a rural outpost where citrus groves and cattle ranches flourished, the city has maintained a sense of the past with a historic downtown, antique shops, and vintage amusement parks. Its sunny weather and wetlands make it a destination for anyone seeking warm temps, whether you prefer a weekend relaxing poolside or a more vigorous outdoor adventure. Its family attractions and close proximity to Disney make it a draw for the young and the young-at-heart.

Weather

Best time to travel to Kissimmee vacation homes

You don't have to worry about the cold in Kissimmee, even in winter. January temperatures average in the 70s, and skies are typically sunny. The city is crowded during the Christmas holiday but otherwise peaceful, and you might score a Kissimmee vacation rental at a low rate. Spring weather is mild, with highs between the 60s and 80s, and rental prices are still low. Summer is the busy season and also the hottest, so look for lodging with air-conditioning. Temperature-wise, autumn is as lovely as spring, but it's also the height of hurricane season, so check local forecasts.

Natural features
