Own vs. Rent: Is Motorcoach Lot Ownership Right for You?

Exploring the Benefits of Investing in a Piece of Paradise at Olde Florida
For many luxury motorcoach travelers, there comes a moment—somewhere between a glass of wine by the fire pit and a sun-soaked morning walk beneath waving palms—when the thought quietly arises: What if this wasn’t just a visit… but a home?
At Olde Florida Motorcoach Resort, that dream isn’t just possible—it’s remarkably attainable. With the option to own your own deeded lot, guests can transform their stay from a temporary escape into a lasting investment in comfort, community, and peace of mind.
But how do you know if ownership is the right choice for you? Whether you’re a seasonal guest, a full-time motorcoach enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates the finer things in life, this guide will help you explore the possibilities.
The Joys of Renting: Flexibility, Freedom, and Discovery
Renting a lot at Olde Florida offers the perfect way to experience the resort’s signature charm without long-term commitment. Many first-time guests begin with a seasonal or monthly stay to get a feel for the atmosphere, amenities, and community.
Benefits of Renting:
- Short-Term Flexibility: Ideal for travelers who enjoy visiting new places each year or who are still exploring Florida as a seasonal destination.
- Lower Initial Commitment: No long-term responsibilities, maintenance, or investment—simply arrive, settle in, and relax.
- All Amenities, No Hassle: Renters enjoy full access to the resort’s five-star amenities, including the infinity pool, clubhouse, dog parks, pickleball courts, and more.
- Test Before You Invest: Renting gives you the chance to experience the resort’s lifestyle, meet your neighbors, and determine if ownership fits your future plans.
Many of our owners first arrived as renters—only to fall in love with the lifestyle and decide they never wanted to leave.
The Advantages of Ownership: A Piece of Paradise That’s Truly Yours
Ownership at Olde Florida Motorcoach Resort isn’t simply about securing a lot. It’s about investing in a lifestyle that values elegance, independence, and lasting community. Owning a lot means having a place to return to year after year—a familiar, refined sanctuary that’s fully your own.
Why Own?
- Security & Peace of Mind
No more wondering whether your preferred dates or ideal site will be available. Your lot is always waiting for you. Especially during peak season, ownership ensures availability, choice, and consistency. - Personalization & Comfort
Owners have the option to customize their lot, adding beautifully landscaped features, private outdoor living spaces, and even casitas—fully air-conditioned mini-homes with full kitchens, spa-style bathrooms, and charming patios. Create a space that reflects your taste, your routine, and your vision of comfort. - A True Sense of Community
Owning invites deeper connections. Your neighbors become friends, the clubhouse becomes a familiar gathering place, and the resort begins to feel less like a vacation and more like home. Seasonal events, owner socials, and community traditions foster a welcoming, engaged lifestyle. - Income Potential Through Rental Program
Not using your lot all year? No problem. Owners can participate in the resort’s rental management program, allowing your lot to generate income during the months you’re away. It’s a smart way to offset costs while still maintaining ownership.
Casitas & Custom Living: Taking Ownership to the Next Level
One of the most compelling features of lot ownership at Olde Florida is the ability to build a casita—a luxury mini-home that expands your living space and elevates your experience.
Choose from floor plans such as the Palm, Coquina, or Sand Dollar, each offering 535–800+ sq. ft. of indoor elegance. Enjoy full kitchens with granite countertops, washer/dryer setups, vaulted ceilings, custom tile, and even spa bathrooms. Casitas create the perfect blend of coach living and residential comfort—ideal for entertaining, remote work, or simply stretching out in style.
Prefer outdoor living? You might opt for a Chickee Hut instead—a classic tiki-style pavilion perfect for Florida breezes, complete with ceiling fans, outdoor TVs, and gourmet grills.
These custom additions allow you to craft a space that reflects your taste, elevates your lifestyle, and makes your lot truly feel like yours.
