In the Disney area there are a bunch of gated neighborhoods that are built as STR specific neighborhoods. The homes are zoned for nightly rentals, and the entire neighborhood is built with the intent of STR. While some people do choose to live there, the homes are not built with the intent of primary residence. Instead of garages the homes have game rooms. There are no mailboxes at the homes. Trash is collected by the HOA 7 days a week, etc.
Most of the resorts have a big clubhouse amenity area with giant pools, waterslides, mini golf, splash pads, movie theater, etc. Guests staying in the homes in the neighborhoods are allowed to access these amenities for free.
Yes, it is all run through the HOA.
