Welcome to Chateau Mickey, our Florida home-away-from-home and now yours as well! We love to home exchange and are happy to share our favorite sunny spot near the "Happiest Place on Earth" with you. We exchange our home for just two weeks a year and are limited to school breaks--however we're happy to discuss non-simultaneous exchange.

We are not able to exchange during major holidays or during the months of January through April. For 2024, we are looking for the US (having already arranged a summer exchange to the UK).

Things you'll love about our home:

#1: Proximity to Walt Disney World. Windsor Hills is a gated community, just 2 miles from the main gate, which puts Chateau Mickey closer to some of the parks than many Disney hotels! All homes are privately owned, giving the resort a personal, "family" feel vs a generic, corporate environment.

#2: Room to spread out. As Disney fans and a family of 5, we've logged plenty of time in expensive, crowded hotel rooms. Chateau Mickey has 3 bedrooms, all of them en-suite, which makes getting ready in the mornings quick and easy. Our kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you need for a quick bite or multi-course meal.

#3: Double Olympic-size Swimming Pool. When we say our pool is big, we mean it's BIG. You'll appreciate coming back at the end of the day to the relaxing, friendly vibe poolside. Just a 5 minute walk from the house.

#4: Splash Pool. Our home also has it's very own south-facing (SUNNY!) splash pool and terrace. Perfect for hanging out during the day or enjoying a quiet night "in."

#5: WATERPARK. My kids will say this really should be #1. Fair warning: don't be surprised if your kids beg to come home early from the parks each day. Yes, it really is that much fun. Again, a very close walk from the house.

#6: Grounds. It might surprise you to see this on our top ten. We love to walk, and walking the grounds of Windsor Hills is one of our favorite vacation activities. So much to see! It's a lovely resort. If walking isn't enough exercise, we have the gym, tennis courts, pickleball court, kids' playgrounds, volleyball area and, of course, the gorgeous pool and waterpark area.

#7: Convenience. Vacationing here is so EASY. There's a Walmart on the way from the airport--just a quick drive from the house. We always make a quick stop, grab the essentials, and make a beeline for home. Once at Windsor Hills, an on-site convenience store will provide anything you may have forgotten. Don't want to cook? Summon Uber Eats or Grub Hub and they'll bring great food right to your door.

#8. Atmosphere. We always say that Windsor Hills has all the Disney "vibe" without the Disney price. It's a warm, friendly place--full of sunshine and happy families making memories. We make new friends every time we visit.

#9. Clubhouse. The clubhouse is where you'll find the store, the gym, the movie theater (you can even request movies!) and the arcade. Our kids love the pool table, arcade games, foosball, air hockey. It's a great place for kids to make new friends.

#10: Truly a HOME. We love to home exchange and, as such, have equipped our Disney home to a high standard. This is not your average "rental." It's really our home, a much-loved place, and a place we know you'll love as much as we do.

Chateau Mickey is an end unit with private splash pool, in close walking distance to the clubhouse, pools, and other amenities. We're also conveniently located across from a large greenspace (with bench swings) and overflow parking if you have more than one vehicle.
