Windsor Hills Resort is located southwest of Orlando in Kissimmee, Florida.

The community pool at Windsor Hills Orlando is one of the better community pools in the Central Florida area. The pool has a zero/sloped entry as well a great water slide and toddler kid’s pool. In addition, alongside the pool you”ll find a hot tub and plenty of seating to relax with other vacationers while enjoying the Orlando and Disney area.

When we do rate/critique vacation home subdivisions, we are completely independent and unbiased. We have no vested interest in either renting you a home or promoting one community over another.

We have placed vacation home subdivision and community ratings on our blog to help guide you through the maze of different vacation home communities in the area. Our efforts are based on an evaluation of the common areas and general upkeep of the grounds, amenities and community club. Obviously the quality of an individual vacation home from a maintenance and cleanliness standpoint will be home specific.

If you see a community that is not rated, email us at economist@orlando-vacationhomerental.com and we will make every effort to rate the community.

By now you have probably logged on to numerous orlando vacation home websites and “for rent by owner” websites, and looked at hundreds or even thousands of photos.

To simplify the process is a great reason to work with a credible and professional vacation home management company.

When choosing a vacation home management company look for professional organization memberships and the company is in good standing with the Better Business Bureau. You can also review many such companies on travel sites such as Flipkey ® by Tripadvisor ®.

Before making a reservation for a particular home one should note:
1. Location
2. Type of Home
3. Type of Community

It can be difficult to know where to book a vacation rental if you don’t know the Orlando area and are booking via the internet.

It is nice to know the locational proximity of your vacation rental to selected attractions as well as the type of community and home.

Once again, we recommend you use only the most credible and professional vacation home management companies.

The level of foreclosures in the Orlando vacation home market are now at or near record levels. As many vacation homes in the Central Florida are second homes and many were bought by speculators, the prices in many communities have dropped significantly. It would seem that many owners have simply walked away due in part that the rents from such homes are not enough to cover their expenses.

Some of the communities hardest hit are those that saw the greatest appreciation. Unlike regular homes, vacation home communities tend to have less permanent resident owners that can help stabilize the area or neighborhood.

Many banks are also being tough when lending on vacation homes which can further hold demand down. In effect, this means that many homeowners who bought a property over the prior three years could now face significant losses they sell today.

We are not real estate professionals, as we had to go through online public records, and methodically pull sales along with calling a few local realty offices in the Orlando and Kissimmee area. Our information may not be perfectly accurate so, as always, consult a real estate professional in the area and have them pull the data for you.

So what will happen to the Orlando vacation home market in the future? No one knows, and it is pure opinion and speculation at best. If we knew, we would be sitting on an island in Tahiti sipping a beer rather than worrying about the general state of the market.
