Villas Old & New - Which Areas / Location

[ccarcher]

Hi quick question others may be able to help with, just out of curiosity really

Been to numerous Villas over the past 20years in the Orlando / Kissimee area, last time 9 years back for Christmas 1st time 30 years back for 3 months Port Richey

Will be returning again July for the whole six weeks holiday and cant wait

Having found a villa (Sanctuary West Haven) and booked, it seems a lot of the newer properties and areas appear to be west end of 192 watermania area

whereas in the past going back 9+years the properties seemed to be located more east / central 192 ecolodge area,

area am I right in thinking this are the newer developments located more in this area

Not really - there are newer developments all around the area and not just limited to one area.

A lot of the newer communites that have sprung up are on Highway 27 which runs perpendicular to the 192 at it's western end.

Watermania is no longer... [msnwink]

John's right, there are newer developments all over the place, some of them still being built.

There are a lot of new developments going up all over the place. You can never be sure where they will spring up.

I am sure you will find some interesting developments since you were there last time.We did after a 10 year gap of visiting.

The Sanctuary is a lovely development, and is very well situated. Champions Gate is about 3 minutes away, and Disney about 10-15 minutes away. I stayed in The Abbey at Westhaven which is beside The Sanctuary, and in my humble opinion, is a nicer area than the 192. Sometimes the 192 can get just a little too busy. I think the Sanctuary was only built in 2004/5, so is quite new too.

Have a good holiday .

Hi,
I must agree with Nuala, The Sanctuary is in a great location providing easy access to shops, theme parks, restaurants and both coasts but also set in the peaceful surroundings of a wildlife conservation area. Champions Gate is just a 2 minute drive and in the opposite direction is the US27. The west end of the 192 is the more 'sedate' end with a variety of good restaurants. The more 'glizzy', 'neon lights' area is further east towards Old Town and the Econolodge / Old Lake Wilson Road. From West Haven you have easy access to both ends within about a 5/6 minute drive.
As an Owner on The Abbey at West Haven I may be a little biased but I do think you've made a great choice.
Have a fabulous vacation, you'll see a huge difference since your last visit!
