The 3-bedroom Kissimmee house for an Old Town trip
If you want three bedrooms and you want to be near Old Town, book Family Resort, Heated Pool, Water Slides and FUN! at Regal Oaks. It's a townhome for six: a king, a queen, and a room with two singles, with a screened lanai and a private hot tub out the back. Regal Oaks sits on Golden Hawk Way, a few hundred feet off the US-192 strip where Old Town runs, which is about as close as you can sleep to the Friday night car cruise without being inside it.
That's the short answer. The longer one is worth reading, because the bedroom count is rarely the thing that decides a stay.
Old Town and the historic downtown are two different Kissimmees
People searching for "historic downtown Kissimmee" often end up at Old Town, and the two are not the same place. Old Town is the themed shopping and entertainment strip on US-192, with the classic car cruises and the rides. Historic downtown Kissimmee is the older grid of streets closer to the lakefront, a separate district with its own character. Both are worth an evening, and both are an easy drive from any of our homes, but you should know which one you're picturing before you choose where to sleep.
Regal Oaks is the address that puts you closest to Old Town. Storey Lake, a little further along toward the parks, is roughly five minutes' drive from Old Town and sits within easy reach of Disney Springs, which makes it the better base if your evenings are split between Kissimmee and the park corridor. There's no version of this trip where you don't want a car. Everything here is strung along 192 and I-4, and the walkable parts are walkable only once you've parked.
What three bedrooms actually buys you
Six people in three bedrooms in a townhome with a full kitchen works out very differently from six people in two hotel rooms. The kitchen is the real argument: a proper stove and oven, a dishwasher, coffee maker, children's dinnerware in the cupboard, and spices already in the rack, so the first morning doesn't start with a supermarket run. The washer and dryer matter more than people expect on a Florida trip, where you'll go through swimwear and T-shirts faster than you packed for.
At the Regal Oaks home the two things guests mention are the heated pool in the resort and the private hot tub on the screened lanai. The screen is doing real work there: you can sit out after dark without donating blood to the local insect population. A crib and a high chair come with the house, which takes two awkward items out of the car.
Six is the number, and it's a real six
Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, sleeping six. The configuration is honest: a king, a queen, and two single beds, so two adults, two adults and two children fits without anyone drawing the sofa. If you're six adults, you'll each have a proper bed, though the half bath downstairs is the one that gets busy on a park morning.
If your group is actually seven or more, don't squeeze. A few steps up in size changes the house completely:
- Three bedrooms, sleeping nine — Meet Mickey! Steps from Kids fun & Water Slides!, same bedroom count, more beds, plus a hot tub, a balcony and a desk if someone has to work a morning.
- Four bedrooms, sleeping eight — Family Resort, Heated Pool, Water Slides and Hot Tub, four to eight miles from Disney, with an en-suite master, a balcony and a spa tub on the screened lanai.
- Four bedrooms, sleeping ten — Storey Lake Resort, Free Water Park & Pool!, two king rooms plus two Disney-themed rooms with twin and double beds, and a PS4 in one of the kids' rooms.
- Five bedrooms, sleeping fourteen — New Home at Storey Lake, Free Water Park & Pool!, a private fenced pool, a Spiderman room and a Minnie room, toys in the house and step-free access.
The jump from three bedrooms to four usually costs less than the second hotel room would, and it buys you a second bathroom's worth of peace.
Storey Lake, if the water park is the point
The resort you book into shapes the days you don't spend at Disney. Storey Lake runs a lazy river, two waterslides, a splash zone for small children, a jacuzzi and a tiki bar by the pool, with the Hideaway Clubhouse holding the gym, dining and reception. Guests at our Storey Lake homes get in without an extra charge, and on a trip where one day in four is a rest day, that's the day solved.
Regal Oaks is built around dueling water slides, a pool and a gym, behind gated security, with the clubhouse a short walk from the townhomes. Different scale, different feel. Regal Oaks is tighter and closer to the strip; Storey Lake is bigger and leans more toward a day spent on site.
Three things to settle before you book
Pool heating is the one that catches people out. Our private pools can be heated for a daily fee, but it has to be arranged in advance, and the heaters work by heat exchange, so a genuinely cold snap will beat them. If you're travelling in winter and the pool is central to the trip, request heating when you book rather than when you arrive.
Second, check the sleeping plan against your group rather than the bedroom count. A room with two singles is excellent for two children and awkward for two adults who aren't a couple, and that detail is on each listing.
Third, the houses are self-catered. We leave starter supplies at check-in, shampoo, soap, dish detergent and trash bags for the stay, so nobody's driving to Walmart at eleven at night, but the groceries are yours. There's a Walmart and a Publix within a few miles of the Storey Lake homes.
Why book with us
We're in Kissimmee, not managing these from another state.
