Like much of Central Florida, St. Cloud delivers on the state’s nickname as “The Sunshine State.” Highs hover between 70 and 90 degrees, with lows hardly ever dipping below about 50.

Close to the theme parks

Another huge perk of St. Cloud’s Central Florida location? It’s just minutes from Florida's famous theme parks, including Universal Studios, Walt Disney World Resort, and SeaWorld.

After thrilling days at Orlando's theme parks, those in the know can escape and recharge with St. Cloud’s small-town feeling.

Just a drive from the beach
