Hi. Whilst Bahama Bay is officially classed as being in Davenport, we are actually much closer to Kissimmee.
The Resort did get a bit of a battering, just like everywhere else in the region, but we have come off quite lightly really. Some of the roofs have lost their shingles and soffits, and several trees have been uprooted. However our fantastic management team were out and about early yesterday morning assessing the damage and clearing up. The resort has power and remains open, but like everywhere, it is going to take a couple of days to clean up. I'm sure by the time you arrive in a few weeks everything will be back to normal, almost as if nothing had happened😬

Thank you for the update, I'm pleased to hear that people are ok and have power. It does feel wrong taking a holiday in an area that is trying to get cleaned up after a hurricane, like we are being insensitive really.
I thought Bahama Bay looked as though it should be more under Kissimmee rather than Davenport. On previous visits I have always stayed in Disney or I-Drive hotels so having a condo will be a new experience 🙂 |

I have a property on Bahama Bay and we have been told that BB is open to guests, all condos have electricity, wifi and tv service.
Pools remain closed at moment. plus a limited food and beverage menu We come off very lightly compared to some people losing their homes. |

Not according to Google Maps! It is approx 12 miles to the centre of the City of Davenport and 15 miles to the centre of the City of Kissimmee.
'Davenport' can refer to 2 different things. First, the City of Davenport which is on the US17/92. However, the unincorporated parts of the north east part of Polk County have a 'Davenport' address. Therefore, both BB and RP have Davenport addresses and in that sense are 'in' Davenport. Similarly, 'Kissimmee' can refer to the City of Kissimmee which is way down east on the US192 next to Lake Toho, but unincorporated areas of Osceola county have a Kissimmee address. Whilst visitors use community names, the Postal Service doesn't: just the road name and 'Davenport' - not 'Regal Palms'. Most of the villa area is not incorporated (i.e. not in a City) - the exception is those down in Haines City (e.g. Southern Dunes). The same applies to Clermont in Lake County, where Cagan Crossings is. The 4 Counties of Lake/Orange/Osceola/Polk meet on the US192 between Publix at Summer Bay and Westside Blvd - hence the area is sometimes called 'Four Corners'. It may be a bit confusing to the uninitiated, but knowing your geography is important when Lake/Orange/Osceola all had curfews during the hurricane whilst Polk didn't - so BB and RP could still move about if they wished provided they didn't go across the border. I am sure you all know that WDW is the City of Bay Lake and the City of Lake Buena Vista. |

We are staying across thr road from you in VistaPark and looks like we'll be arriving on the same day, I got a call from our villa owner Caroline on Wednesday and she said that the villa is okay but the downstairs twin bedroom has some slight water damage when a piece of the bay window ripped off, as the villa is 5 bedrooms and we only need 3 of them it shouldn't effect us.
She said that the resort got away quite lightly compared to others.
