Property Description:
This 3-bed, 3.5-bath, 1,741 sq ft townhouse with a 1-car garage is located in Vista Cay, directly across from Universal’s EPIC Universe – one of Orlando’s strongest short-term rental corridors. The community allows short-term rentals and consistently attracts tourists, convention traffic, and theme park visitors. The property has not been updated since purchase. It needs flooring, likely interior paint, and bathroom updates if targeting top-of-market STR comps. Notably, many of the comparable sales still have original kitchens and baths. HOA is $545/month, which covers exterior maintenance, water, cable, and resort-style amenities.
🛠️ Rehab Scope
- Replace flooring (STR-durable LVP/carpet as needed)
- Interior paint (walls, trim, doors)
- Bathroom updates to modern STR standards (vanities, fixtures, lighting, mirrors)
- Light refresh to kitchen if desired (hardware, fixtures, minor cosmetic updates)
- Deep clean, and STR furnishing/staging
