Why owners switch to Chādy in Orlando
Orlando is the highest-volume STR market in the U.S.
Most managers waste it.
Most Orlando-area managers operate on volume — high property count, thin operations, and pricing that ignores the real demand calendar. Disney peak weeks, OCCC convention cycles, ESPN Wide World tournaments, and Epic Universe openings each move rates differently. Chādy's pricing engine is calibrated to all four. Combined with hotel-quality cleaning, sub-1-hour guest response times, and full FL DBPR + Osceola + Polk + Orange County permit and Tourist Development Tax handling, owners see real revenue lift instead of empty calendars.

Orlando market data
What Orlando vacation rentals actually earn.
Realistic annual gross revenue ranges by submarket and bedroom count, sourced from Chādy-managed Orlando-area properties (12-month trailing) and cross-referenced with public market benchmarks. Theme-park-adjacent resort communities with private pools outperform standalone homes by 35–55%.
| Submarket | Property type | Annual gross (range) | Peak season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reunion Resort | 8–12 BR luxury pool villa | $160K–$280K | Mar–Aug, holiday weeks |
| ChampionsGate | 5–9 BR pool home | $78K–$135K | Mar–Aug, OCCC cycles |

| Celebration | 3–5 BR townhome / SF | $48K–$82K | Peak summer, holidays |
Ranges based on 12-month trailing performance of Chādy-managed Orlando-area properties and public market benchmarks (April 2026). Individual property results vary by finish level, amenities, calendar strategy, and seasonal events.
Orlando regulatory
Permits, taxes, and STR zoning — handled end-to-end.
Orlando-area STRs span three counties — Orange (Orlando proper), Osceola (Kissimmee, Reunion, ChampionsGate west), and Polk (Davenport, Solara, Windsor) — each with its own zoning rules, registration requirements, and Tourist Development Tax. Chādy validates eligibility and handles every county's stack before your property goes live.
State level
FL DBPR + DOR
Florida DBPR Vacation Rental License (Dwelling or Condo). FL Department of Revenue sales tax 6% + county discretionary surtax 0.5–1.5%. Florida Statute 509 preempts city STR bans.
Osceola County
Kissimmee · Reunion
Osceola County STR registration + 6% Tourist Development Tax filed monthly with the Osceola Tax Collector. Reunion Resort and ChampionsGate are in purpose-built STR zoning. Combined STR tax: ~13.5%.
Polk County
Davenport · Solara · Windsor
Polk County STR registration + 5% Tourist Development Tax. Davenport / ChampionsGate east / Windsor at Westside / Solara are pre-zoned for STR. Combined STR tax: ~12%.
Orange County
Orlando · Lake Buena Vista
Orange County 6% TDT + 1% Convention Development Tax. City of Orlando restricts STRs to homestay-only inside city limits — purely-investment STRs are zoned out. Chādy verifies eligibility before listing. Combined STR tax: ~13.5%.
Orange County zoning verification — before listing.
Most STR-zoning friction in Orlando happens inside city limits. Chādy validates Orange County zoning eligibility, HOA covenants, and condo-board rules before any property is photographed or listed — owners never sign and then discover their property can't legally rent short-term.
Orlando submarkets
Where Chādy manages in greater Orlando.
Local fluency in every Disney-corridor resort community plus Kissimmee, Davenport, and Celebration. Each submarket has its own demand pattern, zoning rules, and revenue ceiling — we know all three.
Osceola / Polk
ChampionsGate
Resort-style community 8 minutes from Disney with Greg Norman-designed golf, lazy river, and 5–9 BR pool homes. Strong year-round family demand and OCCC convention spillover.
Polk County
Davenport / Solara / Windsor
Purpose-built STR neighborhoods 15–20 minutes from Disney. 5–8 BR pool homes with themed bedrooms, private screened pools, and resort amenities. The volume engine of Orlando STR.
Osceola County
Encore Resort
8–13 BR resort villas with full water park access on-site. Ideal for multi-generational family bookings and group travel. Among the strongest per-property gross in the Orlando market.
Osceola County
Kissimmee · Storey Lake · Bella Vida
Family-anchored resort communities with 4–6 BR pool homes, Disney shuttle access, and broad year-round demand. Lower per-night ADR but consistent occupancy.
Osceola County
Celebration
Disney-designed master-planned town with walkable downtown, 3–5 BR townhomes and single-family homes. Slightly different rental product — couples, smaller families, and Disney "in the bubble" stays.
Orlando demand calendar
Year-round demand, calibrated to Disney, Universal, and Epic Universe.
Orlando isn't seasonal — it's calendared. Disney peak windows, Universal/Epic Universe openings, OCCC convention cycles, and ESPN Wide World tournaments each move rates differently. Chādy's pricing engine adjusts by submarket and demand window.
Q1
Spring break + winter holidays
President's Day, spring break (Feb–Apr), Daytona 500 spillover, Bike Week. Rates lift 30–60% in the Disney corridor.
Q2–Q3
Summer family peak
June–August is the strongest occupancy window. Disney summer crowds, Universal peak, Epic Universe school-out demand. Pool-home premium peaks here.
Q3–Q4
OCCC + sports
OCCC convention calendar drives ChampionsGate and ChampionsGate-east. ESPN Wide World tournament weekends spike Kissimmee and Davenport.
Q4
Holiday peak
Thanksgiving through New Year's is the highest-rate window of the year — particularly Reunion, Encore, and ChampionsGate luxury villas. Minimum-stay rules enforced.

Orlando FAQ
Answers for Orlando vacation rental owners.
How much does Orlando vacation rental management cost?
Chādy's Orlando vacation rental management fee is 18–25% of gross rental revenue, depending on submarket and service scope. Mid-term (30+ night corporate or relocation) is 15–18%, and long-term (12-month) leases are 10–12%. There are no setup fees and no hidden charges. Initial commitment is 90 days, then month-to-month — never the 12- to 24-month lock-ins common at national full-service managers.
Which Orlando submarkets does Chādy manage?
Reunion Resort, ChampionsGate, Davenport, Kissimmee, Celebration, Solara Resort, Windsor at Westside, Encore Resort, Storey Lake, and Bella Vida. Coverage spans Orange County, Osceola County, and Polk County — the three counties that contain the bulk of Orlando-area STR-zoned inventory.
Are short-term rentals legal in Orlando?
It depends on the address. The City of Orlando restricts STRs inside city limits to homestay-only (owner-occupied), so most pure-investment STRs are located in Osceola County (Kissimmee, Reunion, ChampionsGate west) or Polk County (Davenport, Solara, Windsor) where STR zoning is purpose-built. Chādy validates zoning eligibility before any property is listed.
What taxes do Orlando-area STR hosts pay?
Combined STR tax in Kissimmee (Osceola County) totals about 13.5%: FL state sales tax 6%, Osceola surtax 1.5%, plus Osceola County TDT 6%. Polk County (Davenport, ChampionsGate east) is approximately 12%: 6% state, 1% surtax, 5% Polk TDT. Orange County (Orlando proper) is approximately 13.5%: 6% state, 0.5% surtax, 6% Orange TDT, 1% Convention Development Tax. Airbnb and Vrbo auto-collect state sales and most county TDT, but direct bookings and Booking.com often require manual filings.
How much can my Orlando vacation rental earn?
Benchmarks: 4 BR pool home in Davenport or Kissimmee $52K–$78K; 5–6 BR in ChampionsGate or Reunion $78K–$135K; 8–10 BR luxury villa in Reunion or Encore $145K–$240K. Theme-park-adjacent communities with private pools outperform standalone homes by 35–55%. Submit your address for a custom 24-hour projection.
What demand drives Orlando vacation rentals year-round?
Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, Epic Universe (opened 2025), SeaWorld, Volcano Bay, Orange County Convention Center, Orlando International Airport, ESPN Wide World of Sports, AdventHealth Orlando, and the resort-golf communities of Reunion and ChampionsGate. Demand is calendared but year-round: Disney peak windows, OCCC convention cycles, ESPN tournaments, and a steady international family base.
Do I need a Florida DBPR license?
Yes. Every Orlando-area STR must hold an active Florida DBPR Public Lodging License (Vacation Rental Dwelling or Condo). Chādy files the application, coordinates inspections, posts mandated guest signage, and manages annual renewals.
How fast can my Orlando vacation rental go live?
Most properties launch in 3–5 weeks. Resort-community properties (Reunion, ChampionsGate, Encore, Solara) typically launch fastest because zoning is pre-cleared. Orange County applications can take longer when zoning verification is required.
What's included in full-service Orlando management?
Dynamic pricing tuned to Disney/Universal/Epic Universe and OCCC demand cycles, 30+ platform distribution including Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Expedia, 24/7 guest communication, hotel-quality cleaning, maintenance coordination, professional photography, FL DBPR license handling, Osceola/Polk/Orange County STR registration, monthly TDT filings, theme-park concierge as a premium add-on, and monthly owner reporting.
Do you also manage mid-term and long-term rentals in Orlando?
Yes. STR is primary (18–25%). Furnished MTR 30+ nights for corporate relocations, traveling medical at AdventHealth and Orlando Health, and insurance-displacement (15–18%). 12-month LTR (10–12%).
Is there a long-term contract?
No. 90-day initial commitment, then month-to-month.
How is Chādy different from typical Orlando managers?
Boutique multi-state hospitality operator with a dedicated Florida field team — not a national call center. 4.9★ avg across 4,000+ reviews, 90-day commitment, transparent 18–25% fee, real Orlando-resort fluency (Reunion, ChampionsGate, Encore, Solara, Windsor), and a documented Disney/Universal/Epic Universe pricing playbook. National full-service managers routinely charge 25–35% with 12- to 24-month lock-ins; listing-only marketplaces leave guest comms, cleaning, permits, and tax filings to owners.
Do I still control my Orlando property?
Yes. Owners retain full ownership, set blackout dates, and use the property at any time — including peak Disney holiday weeks if you want to be in Orlando with family.
Does Chādy operate at Airbnb Superhost standards in Orlando?
Yes. Chādy-managed Airbnb listings consistently meet or exceed Superhost-caliber metrics — 4.9★ average across 4,000+ reviews, sub-1-hour first-response times, under 1% cancellation rate. Superhost status is reviewed quarterly by Airbnb and varies by listing.
