Local Expertise
Kissimmee Communities We Serve
Kissimmee's vacation rental market is centered around resort communities and master-planned developments near Disney, Universal, and the Orlando attractions corridor.
Reunion Resort
Premier resort community with three golf courses (designed by Watson, Palmer, and Nicklaus), water park, and luxury amenities. High-end vacation homes command $300-$600+ per night. Attracts affluent families and golf groups. HOA-regulated with specific rental guidelines.
Champions Gate
Master-planned resort community near Disney's south entrance. Oasis Club amenities, water slides, and proximity to parks drive strong family demand. Mix of townhomes and large single-family homes. Growing inventory but consistent demand keeps occupancy strong.
Storey Lake Resort
Newer resort community with modern amenities — lazy river, splash pad, and clubhouse. Townhomes and condos attract families seeking resort-style stays near Disney. Lennar-built properties with contemporary finishes. Strong rental history and professional management community.
Windsor Hills
One of the original and most popular Kissimmee resort communities. Walking distance (or short drive) to Disney's main gate. Established rental track record with strong repeat guest base. Mix of condos, townhomes, and single-family homes at various price points.
Solara Resort
Modern resort community with upscale amenities — resort pool, fitness center, and conference facilities. Attracts families and corporate groups. Contemporary townhomes with private pools. Growing community with strong developer support for rental owners.
Encore Resort
Water park resort community with premium vacation homes. The Aqua Park is a major selling point — guests choose Encore specifically for the water park amenities. Larger homes (5-9 bedrooms) attract multi-family groups. Premium pricing reflects the resort's unique water park offering.
Paradise Palms / Bella Vida
Mid-range resort communities offering value-oriented vacation homes. Families on a budget who still want pool and resort amenities. Lower nightly rates but strong occupancy. Townhomes and smaller single-family homes are the primary inventory.
Davenport / Highway 27 Corridor
The broader Kissimmee-Davenport corridor along Highway 27. More spread out with a mix of standalone vacation homes, resort communities, and residential neighborhoods. Properties here compete on value — lower nightly rates with pool access and proximity to parks (15-25 minutes to Disney).

Stay Compliant
Kissimmee STR Regulations
Kissimmee and Osceola County have specific regulations for vacation rentals, including registration, tax obligations, and community-specific restrictions. Florida's state-level DBPR registration is also required. Many Kissimmee resort communities have their own rental management rules.
Surge manages all compliance for Kissimmee properties — DBPR licensing, state and county taxes, community regulations, and ongoing monitoring.
Florida DBPR Registration
All Kissimmee vacation rentals must register with the DBPR, pass fire safety inspections, and maintain proper insurance. License numbers must be on all listings. The DBPR actively monitors platforms for unlicensed properties.
State Sales Tax (6%+)
Florida's 6% state sales tax plus 1% surcharge applies to vacation rental income. This is collected in addition to county-level tourist development taxes, bringing the combined rate to approximately 13% in Osceola County.
Osceola County Tourist Development Tax (6%)
Osceola County imposes a 6% Tourist Development Tax on short-term rentals — one of the highest county-level rates in Florida. This is collected in addition to state taxes. Proper filing is required quarterly.
Resort Community Rules
Most Kissimmee vacation rental communities have their own rules governing rental activity — reservation systems, guest registration, pool access, parking, quiet hours, and minimum rental standards. Violating community rules can result in fines and loss of rental privileges.
Safety & Inspection Requirements
DBPR requires fire safety inspections, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and posted evacuation routes. Pool properties must comply with Florida's pool barrier requirements. Vacation homes with pools accessible to guests must have proper fencing, alarms, or barriers.
Insurance Requirements
Adequate liability insurance covering vacation rental activity is required. Properties with pools, game rooms, and resort amenities should carry appropriate coverage levels. Standard homeowner's policies typically exclude STR use.
⚠️ Platform & Community Compliance
Both booking platforms and resort communities are increasing compliance enforcement. Unlicensed properties face DBPR fines and platform delisting. Community rule violations can result in HOA fines and rental restrictions. Maintaining compliance across all layers is essential.
