Of course, you’ll be looking for a peaceful retreat to come back to after a hard day’s sightseeing on summer holidays to Davenport. So how about the Bahama Bay Resort? As good as it sounds – this contemporary Caribbean-style sanctuary has spacious and oh-so comfy apartments to head back to at the end of each day.

So whether you want to kick back and chill or get acquainted with the top-notch golf courses, holidays to Davenport have it all. Close enough to the thrills and spills of its neighbours, Davenport’s got a sleepier vibe – perfect for a spot of much-needed R&R.

So you’ve hit the theme parks. You’ve done the rides. You’ve bought the T-shirt, cuddly toy and souvenir photo. Davenport has to be where you return to after a day sampling Florida’s finest attractions. Jump in the car and drive west on the I4 and you’re there – an easy 20-minute journey that’ll show you the real Florida, a place where citrus groves ruled until a few years ago. Just two square miles in size, it’s tucked between well-known neighbours, Disney and Kissimmee, and you’ll love it for its home-away-from-home feel.

Booming residential areas are home to stylish villas, condos, supermarkets and restaurants. It’s the kind of place where you can really kick back and relax. Grab a good book, pull up a sun lounger and get ready to chill. Of course, with all that green space, one of Davenport’s biggest draws is its golf courses. There are enough to keep even the keenest player busy. Pack up those clubs, don your visor and head off to the greens at some of the best golf courses in Orlando at Champions Gate, Reunion and Highland’s Reserve. With the sun almost always shining, it’s easy to see why Tiger Woods chose Florida as his base.

So if you want a break from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks, yet still want to be close enough to the action – head to Davenport. It’s pretty, it’s peaceful and it’s perfect if you’re looking to relax in the funland that is Florida.
