Auburndale is located in central Florida, roughly halfway between Tampa and Orlando and about 10 miles from Lakeland.
There is an excellent multi-use path for biking, walking, and running – called the Auburndale TECO Trail, just 0.3 miles from the resort’s front gate.
It connected with the Van Fleet Trail, for over 30 miles of biking trails! There’s also an elite cable waterski park next door, and cute smaller towns like Winter Haven nearby.
The community Tiki Hut and bar are in the center of the property, and the hub of all the action! The Tiki bar sells drinks (with a happy hour), has TVs, and plays upbeat music throughout the day and night (except quiet hours).
There are multiple community fire pits around this central area, for gathering with friends, meeting other guests, and making new friendships. There is also stage for live music.
In the center of the resort, the ‘family pool’ has a water slide and a waterfall feature. Plus, there is a separate, large ‘splash zone’ for little kids, with lounge chairs for parents to relax.
