    Why Windsor Hills

    Built for the way overseas families actually buy.

    Second Homes

    A Florida holiday home you can use year-round.

    Vacation Homes

    Turnkey, fully furnished, ready for family stays.

    Overseas Owners

    UK, Canadian & global buyers welcome — remote-friendly.

    STR Investment

    Short-term rental zoned, minutes from Walt Disney World.

    The Location Advantage

    3 miles from Disney. A world away from ordinary.

    Windsor Hills Resort sits less than 3 miles from the main gates of Walt Disney World — one of the closest guard-gated resort communities you can own in. For overseas buyers, that proximity translates directly into year-round rental demand and a globally recognized location your guests already know.

    Unlike many Florida neighborhoods, Windsor Hills is zoned and approved for short-term rentals. Use the home for your own family holidays and offset ownership costs by renting it nightly when you're not visiting — the model most UK and Canadian buyers are looking for.

    The community offers a clubhouse, resort-style pool with lazy river and waterslide, movie theater, fitness center, sports courts, and 24/7 manned security gate — a full resort experience that drives reviews and repeat bookings.

    The Essentials

    Cross-border ownership, demystified.

    FIRPTA, EINs & Ownership Structure

    FIRPTA withholding typically applies when foreign owners sell U.S. real estate — not at purchase. We help you raise the right LLC, EIN, and tax questions early — before you go under contract.

    Licensing & Rental Rules

    Short-term rentals in Florida involve state and local licensing. You'll need a Florida DBPR vacation rental license and Osceola County tourist tax registration. We walk you through every step.

    Management Companies

    For owners overseas, a reliable property manager is essential. We introduce you to vetted Windsor Hills companies handling bookings, guest check-in, cleaning, pool & lawn care, and 24/7 emergencies.

    Remote Buying Process

    We routinely close transactions for buyers in London, Toronto, Vancouver, Manchester, and beyond — using virtual tours, e-signatures, video walkthroughs, and Power of Attorney where needed.

    FAQ

    Common questions from international buyers.

    Can UK or Canadian citizens buy a home in Windsor Hills?

    +

    Yes. International buyers regularly purchase property at Windsor Hills Resort. There is no U.S. residency requirement to own real estate in Florida.

    Can I rent my Windsor Hills home short-term (Airbnb / VRBO)?

    +

    Yes. Windsor Hills is one of the few guard-gated resorts inside the 3-mile Disney radius that is fully approved for nightly short-term rentals.

    Do I need an LLC to buy?

    +

    Not necessarily. Some buyers purchase personally; others use an LLC for liability or tax-planning reasons. We'll connect you with cross-border attorneys and CPAs who specialize in international ownership.

    What is FIRPTA and does it affect me?

    +

    FIRPTA is U.S. tax withholding that applies when a foreign owner sells U.S. real estate — not when buying. We'll make sure you understand the full ownership timeline from purchase to eventual resale.

    Do I need a management company?

    +

    Almost always, yes. A professional manager handles bookings, guest check-in, housekeeping, pool/lawn care, and emergencies while you're overseas. We can introduce you to vetted Windsor Hills specialists.

    Can I complete the purchase remotely from the UK or Canada?

    +

    Yes. We routinely close transactions remotely using e-signatures, virtual tours, video walkthroughs, and Power of Attorney where needed.
