Why Buy a Vacation Pool Home in Orlando

When you decide to buy a vacation home in Orlando, one of the decisions you’ll have to make is whether to buy a home with a pool.

Some home buyers don’t want the upkeep or expense of a pool. Pools do require regular maintenance and over time, repair. And they can be hazardous to young children. Heating a pool can also drive up your monthly utility bill. 

However, there are some very good reasons why it’s worth the investment in a vacation pool home, especially in the Orlando area. 

The biggest reason why you should consider buying a pool home is if you plan to rent it out on a short-term basis to holiday travelers. In that case, a pool is a MUST. Vacationers look for properties with a pool because it provides a much needed break from the crowds after a day at the theme parks. 

A pool is also useful for its health benefits, since you could use it for in-water exercises when you’re staying at the property. And of course, your rental guests may view it that way as well. 

And swimming pools can bring added value at resale. In fact the National Association of Realtors says an in-ground pool adds about 7.7 percent to the home’s market value. Several communities near Disney World offer pool homes including Solana, Windsor Hills and Encantada. 

If you’re still not sure a vacation pool home is right for you, there is another option. You could purchase a unit in a condo/hotel. These luxury hotels allow vacationers to own a full-service vacation home with outstanding amenities such as resort-style swimming pools, luxury spas, and fitness centers. Some of these resorts like Floriday’s and Reunion, have their own water park for guests to enjoy.
