The short version
Cottage is Margaritaville’s name for its detached, island-inspired vacation homes. This page separates them from townhouses using the recorded MLS subtype.
It can suit buyers who value a memorable guest experience and want a vacation home close to Disney. The ownership structure, permitted management arrangements, fees and rental strategy must still be assessed property by property.
