Daytona Auto Racing: Vacation Home Near Daytona International Speedway

Heading to Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona 500, the Rolex 24, or another major racing event? 450 Burma in Kissimmee is the smart alternative to overpriced Daytona Beach hotels. Our luxury 6-bedroom vacation home is approximately 75 minutes from the Speedway, sleeps up to 16 guests, and gives your group a private pool, game room, and full kitchen — plus easy access to Orlando attractions on non-race days.

Major Events at Daytona International Speedway

Why Stay in Kissimmee Instead of Daytona Beach

During major race weekends, Daytona Beach hotel rates skyrocket to $300-$800+ per night for basic rooms. Here is why staying at 450 Burma is the better play:

• Massive cost savings — Instead of 3-4 hotel rooms at inflated race-week prices, book one vacation home for the whole group. Split the cost and save thousands.
• Room for the whole crew — 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, sleeps 16. Your racing buddies, family, or tailgate crew all stay together.
• Private pool party — Host a pre-race or post-race pool party with our heated pool, outdoor TV, Bluetooth speakers, and grill (free propane).
• Game room — Watch race replays on the 83-inch OLED TV with Dolby Atmos. Play racing games on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Compete at air hockey and arcade games.
• Full kitchen — Cook hearty pre-race breakfasts and post-race dinners instead of paying $50/head at Daytona restaurants.
• Combine with Orlando attractions — On non-race days, visit Disney World (15 min), Universal Studios (25 min), or the Orlando outlets.
• EV charger — Our 50-amp Tesla charger means electric vehicle owners can charge overnight and have plenty of range for the Daytona round trip.
