This 8,000 square foot property located near Orlando is perfect for anyone seeking a Willy Wonka-approved vacation. Travel + Leisure noted that this vacation home rental is more fun than Disney World, and with themed rooms, an ice cream cone-shaped pool, and 5 acres of private land to enjoy, it’s no wonder why.

And check out this Milky Way Galaxy Candy Bedroom! Space enthusiasts and candy bar lovers alike will relish the opportunity to spend the night in this galactic guest room.
The house features 10 bedrooms in total, in addition to 2 kitchens, 3 living rooms, and several porches. You'll love discovering the cotton candy machine, pinball, and arcade games scattered throughout the mansion.
The real icing on the cake, so to speak, is the 30,000-gallon cone-shaped pool outside. With a festive waterslide, fountain, and nearby Sugar Mania splash park, you'll be entertained for hours on end.
Other lovable on-site attractions include a private mini golf course, black and white cookie outdoor checkers, tetherball, karaoke, a dance room, laser tag, and much more.
