Why Buy a Vacation Home in an Orlando area Condo/Hotel

Orlando is home to some of the best condo hotels in the nation. Condo hotels, also referred to as hotel-condos or “contels,” are luxury hotels with individually owned units. This allows vacationers to own a full-service vacation home and enjoy its posh amenities and proximity to Orlando’s world-class attractions all while renting the unit out when it’s not in use.

Luxury Amenities

There are many benefits to owning a second home in an Orlando condo/Hotel. Owners of vacation homes in condo hotels benefit from the hotel’s management both when vacationing and while renting to other tourists.

Residents of condo hotels enjoy access to resort pools, luxury spas, health and fitness centers, fine-dining and even concierge room service. That’s not to mention the 24/7 security of the resort community and being just minutes from Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld. Plus, on-site management takes care of any cleaning, maintenance and all interactions with renters.

Ease of Renting

Owning a vacation home in a condo hotel also has the advantage of being able to leverage the hotel’s existing marketing for maximum rental potential. Many Orlando condo hotels are part of major resorts such as Reunion, Floridays and Lake Buena Vista Resort & Spa, which are some of the most sought-after destinations in the country. This translates into added earning potential from short term rentals of your property because you can capitalize on the resort’s brand reputation and reach.

However, rental revenue from condo hotels is shared with the hotel operator. This is because all short term rental agreements are centrally marketed and arranged by the hotel, which takes a share of the profit in return.

Smart Investment

Another benefit of owning a condo hotel vacation home is you have the right to resell your property any time you want. If your unit has appreciated in value, you keep any profits. It’s the perfect combination of vacation home ownership and investment potential.

Variety

Condo hotels can range in style from towering high-rises to sprawling resorts. In Orlando, there are dozens of varying condo hotels to choose from with wide ranging settings and services. Depending on your lifestyle and budget, it’s easy to find a condo hotel that meets your needs.
