Vacation rental management built for Kissimmee
Kissimmee is where many of Central Florida's vacation homes are: resort communities with private pools and game rooms, homes sized for big families and groups, and demand that rises and falls with theme park calendars and school holidays. It is also a crowded market. Many similar homes compete for the same guests, so the difference between a good year and a flat one usually comes down to pricing, presentation and how smoothly every stay runs.
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 Kissimmee-area communities, including Storey Lake, both in the City of Kissimmee and across unincorporated Osceola County.
What's included when we manage your Kissimmee home
We take on the full operation of your apartment, house or villa, so you don't have to. Cleaning, maintenance and repairs run through several partner companies we work with. With Full Management, we handle everything on site, and no owner involvement is required.

Kissimmee and Osceola County rules for vacation rentals
Before a Kissimmee home takes its first short-term guest, three things need to line up: zoning, licensing and tax. 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 Kissimmee mailing address can sit inside the City of Kissimmee or in unincorporated Osceola County, and the rules differ.
- Inside city limits: rentals of less than 30 days are only allowed in the city's Short-Term Rental Overlay (STRO) district and qualifying zoning. See the City of Kissimmee Code of Ordinances, Section 14-4-7 and the City of Kissimmee GIS zoning map.
- Unincorporated Osceola County: short-term rentals depend on the county's zoning, including its short-term rental overlay and Short Term Rental Planned Development (STRPD) district. Osceola County's own guidance is to verify zoning first, then apply for the state license and a Local Business Tax Receipt. See Osceola County: STRPD and short-term rental licensing.
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.
Tourist tax. Osceola County charges a 6% tourist development tax on rentals of less than 180 days, on the total amount the guest pays, including mandatory fees such as cleaning (Osceola County Tax Collector). Florida's sales tax on transient rentals applies 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 Kissimmee rental from another state
Many Kissimmee 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.
Live far from Florida? With Full Management (15% of rental revenue) we handle everything on site, and no owner involvement is required. Remote Management (10% of rental revenue) is available nationwide and suits owners who handle on-site tasks but want the day-to-day run professionally. Either way, you can reach us 24 hours a day at 888-788-8082 or hello@xenomanagement.com.
Why owners choose XENO
A real analysis, not a calculator. "I could hand you an instant number from an algorithm. I don't, because it would be wrong for your property. I look at your address myself before you get anything from me." (Steve Lespouridis, Founder)
Nearly 20 years of rental experience. Steve has managed short-, mid- and long-term rentals and HOA communities in Europe, after an earlier career in finance and banking. In 2024 he founded XENO Management to focus on one market: Orlando, Florida. We work with the systems and technology of the big professional firms, but we look after every home as if it were our own.
Full transparency, always reachable. A fixed percentage of rental revenue, a monthly report with your payout, every booking in the owner app, and a team you can reach 24 hours a day.

Kissimmee vacation rental management FAQ
How much does vacation rental management cost in Kissimmee?
With XENO, Remote Management is 10% of rental revenue and Full Management is 15% of rental revenue. VIP pricing is shared 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 Kissimmee 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 Kissimmee vacation rental?
Osceola County charges a 6% tourist development tax on rentals of less than 180 days. It applies to the total amount the guest pays, including mandatory fees such as cleaning. Florida's sales tax on transient rentals applies on top. Current rates are published by the Osceola County Tax Collector and the Florida Department of Revenue.
Does it matter whether my home is in the City of Kissimmee or in Osceola County?
Yes. Inside city limits, rentals of less than 30 days are only allowed in the city's Short-Term Rental Overlay district and qualifying zoning. Outside city limits, Osceola County's own short-term rental zoning applies. A Kissimmee mailing address does not tell you which rules apply, so the exact parcel matters. XENO checks zoning and all local requirements for your address during the free analysis.
Can you manage my Kissimmee 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 vacation rental manager in Kissimmee?
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. At XENO, the fee is a fixed percentage of rental revenue, everything in your plan comes at no additional cost, and you get a monthly report with payout, every booking in the owner app, and a team you can reach 24 hours a day.
What is the difference between Remote and Full Management?
With Full Management, 15% of rental revenue, we handle everything on site, so no owner involvement is required.
