Short Term Rental Home Communities

Go to my communities search engine

Or my new TOP TEN communities search

Hightower Realty provides services primarily to buyers of vacation homes (short term rental homes) and residential homes on communities that are available for short term rental licensing. There are about 200 of these communities, situated in Osceola, Polk and Lake Counties, Florida. Short term rental (STR) communities are located in Kissimmee, Davenport, Haines City and Clermont. There are none located in Orlando or Orange County. Zip code location map

The list of communities shown here is not complete. It shows only sub-divisions where rental homes represent a significant proportion of the total. There are also a number of older communities that still permit STR licenses, but which are no longer used for that purpose to any extent.


Buyers. You can use our MLS search engine to identify homes for sale on any of the listed communities. This will give you an idea of the types of homes available of each community, together with a range of prices.
