Professionally managed share is 24.8 percent. Villatel holds 173. The hire question for Kissimmee is not the hire question for Lake Eola.

Typical Orlando listings earned about $29,472 last year from 4,520 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026. The average night was $243. Occupancy was 43.8 percent. Revenue per available night was $105. Year over year is plus 14.3 percent. Active supply moved plus 46.9 percent.

The three strongest city months are March, December, and April. March is the busiest. July is the slowest. Occupancy is weakest in July. Most guests arrive from Miami, then Orlando. Stay is 5.1 nights, booked about 53 days ahead. Call Orlando Code Enforcement at 407-246-2686. Home Sharing Registration at orlando.gov. Home share: rental period less than 30 days; one booking at a time; the resident must live on site and be present when hosting; proof of registration on online ads; no more than four unrelated persons in a single booking, or two persons per room, whichever is less; 50 percent or fewer bedrooms devoted to hosting. Annual fee: first year $275; thereafter $100 if the owner lives on the property, $125 if non-owner occupied. Confirm 2026. Entire-home 1-29 day listings are not the Home Share path. Unincorporated Orange County is another hall. Florida DBPR vacation rental licensing is a statewide layer — confirm the current amount at myfloridalicense.com. AirROI's low-regulation label and 0 percent registration evidence are a scrape of listings, not the town file.
