Short-term rental management for Davenport homes
Davenport, in northeast Polk County, is home to many of the vacation homes that guests book for a Central Florida trip: resort communities with private pools and game rooms, and houses sized for families and groups. Demand follows the theme park calendar and school holidays, and many similar homes compete for the same guests. In a market like this, pricing, presentation and smooth stays decide how a year goes.
That is the work we take off your plate. XENO Management is a brand of XENORENTALS LLC, founded in 2024 and based in Orlando. We are technically and digitally set up like the big professional firms, but we care for every property as if it were our own. We manage apartments, houses and villas, with full transparency and a team you can reach 24 hours a day. Never a call center.
We serve vacation rental owners in all communities in and around Davenport, including ChampionsGate and Solterra.

Davenport and Polk County rules for vacation rentals
Before a Davenport home takes its first short-term guest, zoning, licensing and tax need to line up. Here is a plain-English overview. It is general information, not legal advice, and rules change, so always check your exact address with the authority named.
City or county: check where your home really is. A Davenport mailing address can sit inside the City of Davenport or in unincorporated Polk County, and different rules apply.
- Inside city limits: the City of Davenport's Unified Land Development Regulations list short-term rentals as permitted with conditions in the city's zoning districts, and Section 4.03.19 states that "short term rental units are allowed per State of Florida statutes" (City of Davenport Land Development Regulations, updated March 2, 2026). The city also requires an annual business tax receipt from both the City of Davenport and Polk County for businesses inside city limits, plus the right zoning designation (City of Davenport: Business Tax Receipts).
- Unincorporated Polk County: the county's Land Development Code, Section 303 counts a home as a short-term rental if it is offered more than three times a year for stays of fewer than 30 days or one calendar month. In a subdivision or Planned Development, a home can only be rented short term if the whole subdivision, Planned Development or its phase has been approved for short-term rentals; homes outside subdivisions are approved one by one through a Level 3 Review. Deed restrictions or HOA rules can still prohibit short-term rentals, and every short-term rental must be registered with the Polk County Land Development Division each year.
State license. Florida requires a vacation rental license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Hotels and Restaurants. XENO handles this license for you.
County business tax receipt. Polk County requires a Class B county local business tax receipt for each short-term rental location rented for six months or less, including homes rented through Airbnb or Vrbo, and asks for proof of the DBPR license first (Polk County Tax Collector, TA 05-01).
Tourist tax. Polk County charges a 5% tourist development tax on rentals of six months or less, collected by the county rather than the state (Polk County Tax Collector). Florida's 6% state sales tax and any discretionary sales surtax apply on top (Florida Department of Revenue rate table). XENO handles the tourist tax for you.
Your HOA. Many resort communities have their own rules on minimum stays, occupancy and parking. Check your community's documents before you list.
XENO checks zoning and all local requirements for your exact address as part of your free analysis.

Owning a Davenport rental from another state
Many Davenport vacation homes belong to owners who live in another state. XENO is built for that. Onboarding happens online: sign in to the XENO Owner Portal with an email link, see your analysis and every step to go-live, and leave notes for the team in one thread. Once you're live, the owner app shows every booking, and you can book your own stays in your home yourself. Every month you get a clear report together with your payout.
With Full Management (15% of rental revenue) we handle everything on site, so you don't need to be anywhere near Florida. You can reach us 24 hours a day at 888-788-8082 or hello@xenomanagement.com.

Davenport vacation rental management FAQ
How much does vacation rental management cost in Davenport?
Davenport counts as part of the Greater Orlando area, so Full Management at 15% of rental revenue applies there. VIP Management is available on request. Everything included in your plan comes at no additional cost, and the minimum contract term is 6 to 12 months, with a 30-day notice period. Your free analysis shows what your Davenport home could earn, so you can weigh the fee against real numbers.
Who takes care of the vacation rental license and tourist tax?
We do. XENO handles your Florida vacation rental license and the tourist tax for you, so you are not filing returns from another state. You still own the property and its responsibilities, but the paperwork that comes with renting it short term is on us.
What is the tourist tax on a Davenport vacation rental?
Polk County charges a 5% tourist development tax on rentals of six months or less. It is collected by the Polk County Tax Collector, not the state. Florida's 6% state sales tax and any county discretionary sales surtax apply on top. Current rates are published by the Polk County Tax Collector and the Florida Department of Revenue.
Does it matter whether my home is in the City of Davenport or in unincorporated Polk County?
Yes. Inside city limits, the City of Davenport's land development regulations allow short-term rental units per State of Florida statutes. Many homes with a Davenport mailing address sit in unincorporated Polk County instead, where a home in a subdivision can only be rented short term if its whole subdivision, Planned Development or phase is approved, and homes outside subdivisions are approved one by one. The exact parcel matters, so XENO checks zoning and all local requirements for your address during the free analysis.
Can you manage my Davenport home if I live out of state?
Yes. With Full Management you do not need to be on site: we handle the day-to-day running and on-site issues, and you follow every booking in the owner app, with a monthly report and your payout. You can reach us 24 hours a day.
Which platforms will my home be listed on?
On the major booking platforms, including Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, all managed from one system. XENO also advertises your home outside the booking portals and through its own direct booking page.
How is cleaning handled between guests?
We organize the cleaning after every stay through partner cleaning companies, keep cleaning and inspection reports, and quality-check the home before the next guests arrive. If guests cause damage, we handle the damage claim and the repair.
How does the free analysis work?
Tell us about your property. Steve personally researches comparable listings, seasonality and platform performance for your exact address, then sends you a custom revenue analysis within 24–48 hours. We also check zoning and all local requirements for your address. It is an estimate, not a promise of future income. No pressure, no obligation.
How do I choose a short-term rental manager in Davenport, FL?
Compare what is included, not just the percentage. Ask for the full fee list, how cleaning and guest damage are handled, how often you get reports and who your contact is.
