The planned 60-acre community rests within a citrus grove along the highlands of US 27, about one mile south of US 192, the main entrance to Walt Disney World. The site is minutes from the Kansas City Royals' spring training site.

Thirty of the 54 rental homes in VistaPark's first of three construction phases are near completion. The project is being marketed to investors and vacationers from Europe, South and Central America, Canada and the Midwest and Northeastern regions of the United States. The community is also being pitched as "a viable and practical alternative to a hotel," Goffi tells GlobeSt.com. He likens the project to "a Ritz Carlton-like rental housing development for Central Florida's discerning visitor."

Unlike other single-family communities offering short-term rental housing in established suburban or city neighborhoods, VistaPark is being developed in a resort setting with an on-site management service for daily maintenance and home rentals. Like a conventional major hotel, the property has 24-hour security, a reception center with a check-in/check-out counter, bellmen, a concierge, an on-line reservation system and a full-service business center with facsimile machines, computers, Internet access and secretarial services.
