Orlando Florida Staycation - Historic Downtown Kissimmee

/

You might think of Kissimmee as a bustling tourist area, but take a deeper look.  Its historic downtown can be surprisingly relaxing and enjoyable.  Kissimmee is in a redevelopment renaissance  with many of the same buildings present as were standing over 100 years ago.  Yet we have exciting new developments in progress downtown, lots of parking, and new industries beginning at the Advanced Manufacturing Center.  Start your staycation at Kapp and Kappy Bed & Breakfast at 21 N Clyde, Kissimmee, FL 34741 (407) 205-9992.

In March of 1918, Mrs. Claude Harper showed off her hospitality at her home on Clyde Ave in Kissimmee.  "Spacious rooms were attractive with cut flowers and ferns arranged in a color scheme of green and white as a reminder of St. Patrick's Day."  Mrs. Claude Harper was married to the son of Henry Harper, an early resident at 21 N Clyde Ave.  Christi and Tom, the innkeepers at Kapp and Kappy B&B now enjoy treating people to good food and genuine company, in the very same spacious rooms.  

A lot of things have sped up since 1918, but you can still enjoy the same relaxing pace in Historic Downtown Kissimmee by walking around.   

Stroll on the sidewalks in the South Beaumont Historic District, look at the brick Oak-lined streets, and see many  homes that were built at the turn of the last century.  No two homes are alike.  Or take a bike ride on the Shingle Creek Regional Trail,  enjoy the butterflies at our B&B, go fishing in Lake Toho, or just relax in Lakefront park.   Learn more about area activities here
