I am interested in staying a few wks in the Kissimmee area and am thinking of renting a villa. I have received many fine replies and am securing my vacation weeks. The Question? How is the crime. any problems ?

We have been to Florida and stayed in Kissimmee quite a few times and have never encounted any crime.

This was a concern of ours when we first visited as we had heard some horror stories. Should never have worried and do not give it a second thought now. Do not feel unsafe in any way. It is scarier living in London. People in Florida are so kind and respectful - have seen people living handbags and shopping unattended and never seen anyone take any notice. You just couldn't do that here.

I always feel comfortable whenever I am in Florida, more so than in the UK, don't worry and enjoy yourself[8D]

I have to say we have never had the slightest concern in the 11 years we have been visiting florida. I too was rather nervous on our first visit (grown up with too many US cop shows I think!) but never had worries - the drivers seem far more courteous, and in the parks people seem to look out for each other and call you back about a bag left behind or rush after you with it.
