Winter Park Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Winter Park
is located just north of Orlando in Orange County. This lovely city of around 25,000 residents is known for its bricked streets, many lakes and parks and its unique art festivals and cultural activities. Although it is usually perceived as a “bedroom community,” Winter Park actually offers a central business district and a thriving, diverse economy, which can stand on its own. Winter Park is home to Rollins College, the state’s first private college and the city boasts several parks and museums. Some of these include the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens, the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum and the Kraft Azalea Gardens, where thousands of azaleas and tropical shrubs grow along the shores of Lake Maitland (the azaleas are in bloom January – March.) You can take a scenic 12-mile boat tour through the Winter Park “chain of lakes,” or hike the beautiful trails that wind through a sub-tropical forest in Mead Garden The 28-acre Lake Island Park features a half-mile walking path, playground and ball fields. The Winter Park Farmers Market is open every Saturday and is located at the corner of Lyman and New York Avenues. Annual events in town include the Autumn Art Festival, Family Fall Festival, the Florida Film Festival, the Unity Heritage Festival and the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival.
Southeast Florida, along the Atlantic Coast, enjoys balmy ocean breezes year-round. The rainy season runs from May through October, with South Florida receiving 70 percent of its annual rainfall during these months. Humidity can become uncomfortable during this time. Thunderstorms are frequent and usually peak in July or August, however these storms pass quickly and the sunshine quickly returns, so most outdoor plans are not ruined. Late summer is the hurricane season, but forecasters give ample warning time whenever one of these storms approach the mainland. Winters in southeast Florida are very comfortable, with lower humidity, lots of sunshine and mild evenings.
