Solana Resort is a guard-gated community of pool homes off Barry Road in the Highway 27 corridor near Davenport in Polk County, in ZIP 33897, roughly a fifteen minute drive from Walt Disney World (Solana Resort community guides and listing sites, 2024 to 2026). Most of the homes were built in the mid-2000s, around 2005 to 2007, by Park Square Homes.
This is a vacation-corridor community, not a conventional subdivision. The homes are zoned so they can be a full-time residence or used as a short-term vacation rental, and Polk County's Davenport corridor is one of the largest short-term-rental markets in Central Florida, with most of the area's vacation homes clustered near Disney (Megg Homes and FunStay Florida market reports, 2025 to 2026). That means your neighbors may be owners or rotating guests, and the demand that supports value is largely rental driven.
The amenities are resort style: a guard-gated entrance, a clubhouse with a fitness room, a resort pool and spa, a mini golf course, a sand volleyball court, and a picnic area, with services geared toward visitors. HOA dues typically fold in items like the gate, lawn care, and clubhouse access; confirm the exact lines and any rental rules for the specific home.
The pitch is Disney-corridor location plus a turnkey pool home that can earn when you are not using it. The work is deciding your real use, reading the HOA and any rental restrictions, and pricing a mid-2000s home's roof, systems, and pool honestly against the resort feel, because the short-term-rental market, not a townwide average, sets the floor here.
