Solara Resort

Solara Resort is the newer generation of Disney-area short-term rental communities, developed by Mattamy Homes — Canada's largest privately owned homebuilder — with construction running from 2018 through approximately 2024. The community is located off US Highway 192 in the Four Corners area of Osceola County, roughly eight miles from Walt Disney World, and was designed from the start to compete at the upper end of the vacation rental market by pairing luxury home finishes with an amenity package that no other STR community in the region could match at the time of opening.

The centerpiece differentiator is the FlowRider surf simulator, a commercial-grade sheet-wave machine that Solara installed within its 18-acre amenity campus — one of only a handful in any residential community in the United States. Mattamy paired the FlowRider with a zero-entry resort pool, pool bar, splash pad, waterslides, a full-service on-site restaurant and coffee bar, fitness center, sports simulator, yoga lawn, soccer field, basketball court, and volleyball court. The intent was to make the resort amenity package itself a reason for vacation guests to choose Solara over competing communities.

At build-out Solara includes single-family homes ranging from approximately 1,900 to 4,800 square feet and townhomes, with total unit counts in the hundreds. The community is managed by Leland Management for common areas. The newer construction vintage — compared to Windsor Hills or Windsor Palms — means buyers inherit a modern mechanical and structural condition, reducing near-term capital expenditure requirements.
