Why Windsor Island Resort Is One of Davenport's Fastest-Growing Rental Communities
Windsor Island Resort is a newer gated resort community in Davenport, in Polk County, built specifically for vacation rentals. Short term rentals are a core part of how the community was designed.
Its clubhouse gives guests a full resort day: a resort pool, lazy river, waterslide, splash pad, fitness center, mini golf, games room, and food and drink on site.
Homes are mostly modern single-family pool homes with four to ten bedrooms, plus some townhomes, which puts Windsor Island squarely in the large-family and multi-family group market, and it has built a growing reputation with family travelers.
Because it is in Polk County, Windsor Island follows Polk County tax and licensing rules, and HOA rules, such as garage parking requirements that limit game room conversions, can affect how a home is set up. Getting those details right from day one is where local management pays for itself.
Edge also manages homes in ChampionsGate, Solterra Resort, Providence and Highlands Reserve. See our Davenport vacation rental management page for market-wide numbers.
Serving Davenport's Top Resort Communities

ChampionsGate
ChampionsGate is one of the most recognizable resort destinations in the Davenport area, built around championship golf and luxury resort living. It has a Davenport address but sits in Osceola County, so it follows Osceola County tax and registration rules. The community includes the Oasis Clubhouse — a massive resort facility with a lazy river, water slides, a fitness center, movie theater, and poolside dining — making it one of the most guest-amenity-rich communities in Central Florida. Properties here range from townhomes to large luxury villas and attract a premium guest profile. Edge's approach at ChampionsGate centers on dynamic pricing calibrated to the community's strong demand and high nightly rate ceiling.

Solterra Resort
Solterra is a gated luxury resort community in Davenport featuring vacation homes from four to fourteen bedrooms, each with a private pool and spa. The resort amenities — clubhouse, lazy river, waterslide, cabanas, fitness center, tennis and volleyball courts — make it a top performer for families and large groups. Edge's approach at Solterra focuses on keeping occupancy high during shoulder periods while maximizing nightly rates during peak Disney calendar dates, school holidays, and the Florida snowbird season.

Providence
Providence is a golf resort community in Davenport that offers a quieter, more residential feel than some of the larger resort communities — making it particularly popular with families who want resort amenities without the high-traffic atmosphere. The Providence Golf Club is a major draw, and the community's mix of three to seven bedroom vacation homes performs well for longer-stay guests. Edge's approach at Providence uses a pricing strategy tailored to the community's longer average stay length and golf-focused guest profile.

Highlands Reserve
Highlands Reserve is one of Davenport's established golf communities, featuring spacious vacation homes with private pools on or near the championship golf course. The community attracts families and groups who want a quieter retreat close to Disney, without paying the premium of a resort-branded community. Edge's approach at Highlands Reserve focuses on competitive positioning against nearby communities and strong listing optimization to capture the golf-and-family vacation segment.

Windsor Island Resort
Windsor Island Resort is one of Davenport's newer and fastest-growing resort communities, featuring a clubhouse with a resort-style pool, lazy river, waterslide, fitness center, and recreation facilities. The community has quickly become a favorite for families seeking large group vacation homes near Disney, and demand has been strong since opening. Edge's approach at Windsor Island pays particular attention to platform visibility and dynamic pricing — the community's relative newness means there is still room to capture market share against more established communities in the area.

Windsor Island Resort Short Term Rental Rules: What Polk County Owners Need to Know
Running a short term rental at Windsor Island Resort involves state licensing, Polk County tax registration, and the community's own HOA rules. Edge manages all of this on behalf of every owner we work with. Here is what applies.
Polk County Tourist Development Tax
Short term rentals in Polk County are subject to a 5% Tourist Development Tax (TDT), in addition to Florida state sales tax and the county discretionary surtax. This is a different rate from Osceola County, which matters for owners with properties in both counties. That includes ChampionsGate, which has a Davenport address but sits in Osceola County. Edge, as the operator of record, collects and remits all applicable taxes so you remain fully compliant without the administrative burden.
State of Florida DBPR License
All vacation rental properties in Florida must hold a valid license issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Edge assists every new owner through the registration process and ensures your license is kept current.
HOA and CDD Rules
Windsor Island has its own HOA and governing documents. They set the rules for short term rentals, including occupancy limits, parking, noise, and how homes can be set up, including garage parking requirements. Edge operates within these rules and makes sure every guest stay is fully compliant.
Business Tax Receipt
Polk County requires a Business Tax Receipt (BTR) for properties operating as short term rentals, and homes inside Davenport city limits also need a city license. Edge guides owners through this as part of the onboarding process.
