Hi - for Orlando, bedroom count is usually key, as this area serves multi-generational families in larger single family homes.Look for a good HOA resort zoned for short term rental (ie Windsor island, solara, reunion, encore, Storey lake, etc) and depending on the size of home, most will come with in ground spa/pools, with the exception for the majority of margaritaville units.We do manage some townhomes with a hot tub, and it does well ($75 per month to service a hot tub), but beware as an investor that guest nightly rates for townhouses and condos will be much lower than houses, as you are starting to compete with hotel chains when you start talking about 2 or 3 bedroom investments.

Just pulling something from the internet (don't trust everything you see so take this with a grain of salt I'm not a lawyer): "If the building in question isn't officially designated as an SRO or hotel, it is illegal for landlords to rent individual rooms to tenants for a number of reasons, including that it could allow landlords to evade the maximum rent permitted by the Rent Stabilization Law and Code."
