Storey Lake Real Estate

Storey Lake is a master-planned resort residential community in Kissimmee, Osceola County, located approximately 5 miles from Walt Disney World's main entrance via US-192. The community is purpose-built for short-term vacation rental — all homes are zoned to permit STR, and the community includes a full resort-style amenity package: Club Amenity Center with a water park, lazy river, resort pool, splash pad, fitness center, and recreation facilities. The community consists of townhomes and single-family homes in various sizes, designed to accommodate multi-family vacation groups. Storey Lake is one of the most recognized purpose-built STR communities in the Disney corridor.

Storey Lake pricing spans from townhomes to larger single-family resort homes. Townhomes (3–4 bedrooms) run $380K–$550K. Single-family homes (5–6 bedrooms) run $550K–$900K. Larger 7–9 bedroom resort homes for high-capacity vacation rentals run $800K–$1.5M+. Prices have appreciated significantly since 2020 as STR demand in the Disney corridor surged. The resale market is active, with properties frequently trading as active income-producing vacation rentals with current booking histories. HOA fees are substantial and reflect the resort amenity package.

Storey Lake has been one of the stronger performing STR communities in the Disney corridor — purpose-built amenities, strong brand recognition with vacation booking platforms, and consistent proximity to Disney drive occupancy. Well-managed properties typically achieve 60–75% annual occupancy at competitive rates. However, short-term rental investing carries significant variables: management fees (typically 20–30% of gross revenue), HOA fees, maintenance costs, and competition from new supply all affect net returns. Investors should model cash flow using actual recent booking data from comparable Storey Lake properties rather than optimistic projections. The market has more supply than it did in 2020; buyers need realistic underwriting.

Storey Lake is approximately 5–7 miles from Walt Disney World's main entrance — about 10–15 minutes via US-192 west. This proximity is Storey Lake's primary market driver: guests staying in Storey Lake vacation rentals can reach all four Disney parks, Disney Springs, and the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex without a significant drive. Universal Studios is approximately 20 minutes north via US-192 and I-4. The location also places Storey Lake within easy reach of the Kissimmee commercial corridor for grocery shopping, dining, and guest services.

Storey Lake's Club Amenity Center is the community's central attraction and what differentiates it from generic Kissimmee investment properties. The amenity package includes a resort-style waterpark with water slides, a zero-entry pool, a lazy river, splash pad, fitness center, game room, movie theater, and multiple pool areas. The amenities are accessible to all Storey Lake residents and their vacation guests — guests staying in any Storey Lake property have access to the full club. This communal amenity package is a key factor in the community's vacation rental performance, as guests can enjoy resort amenities without going to the theme parks every day.
