Coming in at numero uno thanks to the mandatory rule that you have to use their property management company for short term rentals. The HOA fee itself is not so bad at $122 per month however this particular community has a requirement that you have to use their own property management company for your bookings and management. Their monthly property management fees are $480 per month. It includes pool and lawn care as well as pest control however when you add that mandatory fee with the HOA you get a whopping $602 per month. Some buyers would argue they could outsource those services for much less and others love the one stop shop effect.
2. Highlands Reserve
$430 per month
These fees do not include property management dues. At $430 per month that’s pretty steep but when taking into consideration the amenities the community offers like a public golf course, tennis courts and community pool the expense may become more justified for some. Keep in mind this hefty Highlands Reserve HOA fee will cut into any profit you could or might have made on your vacation villa.
3. Bahama Bay Condos
$425 per month
Condo associations usually always have higher HOA fees for the reason that they include so much more than the typical single home community (building insurance, exterior maintenance, etc). The fees on this community may be a bit high but I was told by the HOA that first floor condo units pay less HOA than second and third floor. I guess it really pays to live on the first floor in this community.
4. Regal Palms
$385 per month
Regal Palms, one of the most sought after resort communities in Davenport, FL that also charges one of the highest amenity fees. The Homeowner’s association dues are only $135 per month which is very reasonable however there is a mandatory club membership fees of $250 that is required if you or your guest want to use any of the club facilities including their pool and lazy river. Oh and did I forget to mention the $10 per day fee plus tax on your bookings?
