Kissimmee Airbnb Market
Trends & Insights

Not on current data. Kissimmee has 28,140 active entire-home listings, and revenue per listing over the last twelve months is up 4.2% year over year. A saturating market shows falling revenue per listing as supply outruns demand. Kissimmee suits investors who want large pool homes in communities designed for short-term rental, with demand that follows the theme-park calendar rather than business travel. The main things to underwrite are the parcel's county and overlay status, Osceola versus Polk tax registration, HOA dues and CDD assessments, resort rental rules, and steady new supply that keeps nightly rates competitive. The saturation signal on this page tracks the ratio of listing growth to demand growth each month.

Over the trailing twelve months Kissimmee averaged $263 per night and 60% occupancy, with July the strongest month ($5,569 per listing) and September the weakest ($3,167). Spring break and the summer school holidays stack theme-park demand into March and June through July, and holiday weeks command the top nightly rates, while late August through September, after schools reopen and during hurricane season, is the slow stretch. Listings with a indoor fireplace earned about 28% more than the market baseline. The five-year charts on this page show how rate and occupancy have moved month by month.

Kissimmee short-term rental demand comes from four segments. (1) Theme parks: Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando (including Epic Universe), SeaWorld, and LEGOLAND send families looking for a pool home within a short drive of the gates. (2) Large family and group trips: Multi-generational families and friend groups book 5 to 8 bedroom homes with private pools, game rooms, and themed kids' rooms for week-long stays instead of several hotel rooms. (3) International visitors: Orlando International Airport brings Brazilian, British, Canadian, and Latin American visitors who stay longer than domestic guests and favor resort-style homes. (4) Youth sports and events: ESPN Wide World of Sports tournaments, Disney marathon weekends, and park festivals add team and event bookings on top of the school-holiday calendar.

When new listings grow faster than booked nights, occupancy and nightly rates compress and per-listing revenue falls. Kissimmee's advantage is demand diversification: theme parks, large family and group trips, international visitors, youth sports and events do not all move together, which puts a floor under occupancy. The supply and demand chart on this page tracks active listings, available nights, and booked nights over time; treat supply growth above 20% with demand growth under 10% as a signal to be more selective on neighborhood and property type.

Three things: (1) supply growth in your target neighborhood, since above 15% a year competition intensifies; (2) nightly-rate direction, because falling rates signal oversupply while stable or rising rates (currently $263 in Kissimmee) indicate pricing power; and (3) regulatory changes. Short-term rentals are allowed in unincorporated Osceola County inside the county's rental overlay (the STRPD district and resort communities) with a Florida DBPR license, a $30 Osceola Local Business Tax Receipt, and a self-remitted 6% Tourist Development Tax on top of 6% state sales tax and a 1.5% county surtax, 13.5% combined. Homes inside City of Kissimmee limits add a city Business Tax Receipt, and Davenport-area addresses on the Polk County side pay Polk's 12% combined rate instead.

In Kissimmee, listings with a indoor fireplace earned roughly 28% more per year than the market baseline of $52,068. The amenity performance section on this page ranks every tracked amenity by revenue, rate, and occupancy lift so you can prioritize the upgrades that pay back fastest.
