Solterra vs Windsor Westside

[Shailesh L.]

I have two properties that I'm considering for short-term rental investment in Kissimmee or Davenport area. Both of these properties are five bedroom and five bath with splash pool. first property is in solterra resort in Polk county and second property in Windsor at Westside. The property in solterra is almost $70K cheaper than the property in Windsor at West side. I looked at the air DNA website for both properties and the sort of property shows better return on investment. I'm little torn between those two properties Windsor at Westside property is very close to Disney and lots of restaurants around the area Walmart publics and 192 highway but also expensive and air DNA shows lower occupancy rates.

Does anyone have first hand experience operating in Solterra or Windsor at West side for short term rental investment? Which one you would choose if you have to make a decision?

I feel the decor, presentation , and view are more important than the community if they are both close to Disney and have similar amenities. When people shop on Airbnb they look at the features of the home, not what community it's in. Most don't know the difference.

Think about it. You are doing research to make a large purchase and you still can't decide. Do you think a guest staying for 4 days will look into it as deeply as you, or will the pick the cutest house that meets there needs and budget and not even know the difference in community's.
