Many people choose to buy vacation homes near Disney that they can rent to other Orlando visitors when they are not using their property. Some buyers choose homes that are near golf courses because they are avid players. Others want a home that backs up to a wooded, conservation area for added beauty and privacy. But some people prefer a waterfront vacation home. Here are a few reasons why you might want to choose this option.Â
1. Lifestyle – Buying a lakefront home gives you and your rental guests the opportunity to enjoy waterfront living at its best. That means enjoying beautiful sunsets, and water sports like canoeing, kayaking, fishing and water skiing. Central Florida is blessed with over 1000 gorgeous lakes, including the famed Butler Chain of Lakes in Windermere and the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes.  Â
2. Desirability – Waterfront vacation homes tend to cost a little more because buyers place a value on this type of property.  And in fact, studies have shown that U.S. waterfront home values are twice as high as overall home values. This suggests that when it comes time to sell your property, odds are in your favor that you’ll be able to recoup your investment and possibly even make a profit.Â
3. Upscale Property – Lakefront properties tend to be more upscale in design. Developers realize that people who can afford water views usually want a fancier home, so they will put as much additional value into the property so they can price it accordingly.Â
Bear in mind that waterfront doesn’t necessarily have to mean lakefront. You can find beautiful vacation homes that offer pond front or canal front views that will fit most budgets.Â
