Shire at West Haven is a small gated villa subdivision inside the larger West Haven master community in Davenport, Polk County, ZIP 33896, off US 27 near the ChampionsGate area west of the Disney parks (multiple Davenport real estate and community guides, 2026). Community guides describe roughly 115 to 124 privately owned villas, many with their own screened pool, in a Mediterranean and Tuscan style.
The villas were generally built in the mid 2000s, with individual records citing build years such as 2008, as part of the broader West Haven development that delivered across the 2000s and into the 2010s (Polk County property records and listing guides, 2026). Floor plans run to four and five bedrooms, with some homes cited at up to roughly 4,000 square feet; confirm the exact size, bedroom count, and pool for any specific villa.
Because Shire is one subdivision inside a master community, and because it is zoned to permit short-term rentals, the money is made or lost on the HOA, the owner versus rental mix, and the specific villa, not on the West Haven name. Community guides describe Shire as a blend of short-term rentals and permanent residents governed by a homeowners association, with a meaningful share of homes listed on vacation rental platforms, so confirm the current rental rules, the HOA dues, and any CDD from the association documents for the exact address.
The pitch is a gated villa with a private pool near the parks: the Disney area is commonly cited at roughly fifteen minutes, with ChampionsGate golf, shops, and a Publix close by, and US 27 and Interstate 4 giving access toward Orlando and the attractions. The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget, confirm the short-term rental rules and any CDD, and match the villa to whether you want a primary home or an income property.
