Encantada Homes for Sale

About Encantada Neighborhood

Encantada — Spanish for "Enchanted" — is a private, 24-hour guard-gated resort townhome community located at 3070 Secret Lake Drive in west Kissimmee. The community sits approximately one mile south of US 192 (W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) and less than three-quarters of a mile west of the SR-429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway), placing it at the heart of the Westside resort corridor.

Construction took place in 2006 and 2007, producing approximately 272 two-story townhomes across two phases. Floorplans range from two bedrooms and two bathrooms at roughly 1,295 square feet up to four-bedroom, three-bathroom end-unit configurations at approximately 1,785 square feet. A defining feature of the community is that every home includes a private screened-in patio with either a hot tub or a splash pool — an amenity typically reserved for much larger single-family properties in this price range. Nine-foot ceilings on the first floor add to the sense of space, and all units were pre-wired for cable television and phones throughout. Basic cable is included in monthly HOA fees.

The community is organized around a natural private lake that anchors the resort atmosphere. Residents and guests enjoy a catch-and-release fishing pier and a walking/jogging trail that winds along the water's edge. Encantada's 9,000-square-foot clubhouse anchors the resort amenities and houses a fully equipped fitness center, computer lounge, games arcade, billiards and darts area, and indoor lounge. Two separate heated resort-style swimming pools overlook the lake, and The Cabana Pool Bar and Grill provides poolside dining and refreshments. Free parking and complimentary Wi-Fi complete the package.

Encantada's proximity to Walt Disney World — approximately five miles from the resort gates — and its vacation-rental-eligible zoning make it one of Kissimmee's most versatile ownership opportunities. Many owners use their townhomes as primary residences, and Encantada's low density, gated security, and lakeside setting offer a level of privacy and resort character that stands apart from standard Kissimmee townhome developments.

Encantada Location & Connections

Encantada is located on Secret Lake Drive in western Kissimmee, accessed by turning south off US 192 (W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) at the second traffic light past the SR-429 interchange. The community's position places it at an enviable crossroads of the Kissimmee Westside resort corridor: adjacent to conservation wetlands and Secret Lake to the south, with the SR-429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway) providing rapid access north toward Disney's western gates and south toward the Florida Turnpike and US 27.

The Rolling Oaks Commons shopping plaza on US 192 is within a short drive, providing everyday retail and dining without requiring extended travel. Island H2O Water Park is also along this same US 192 corridor. The proximity to conservation lake and wetlands along Funie Steed Road gives the southern edge of the community a natural, private character uncommon for resort-corridor communities.

Encantada Amenities & Lifestyle

Life at Encantada blends the ease of resort living with the privacy of a gated residential community. The lakefront setting, walking trail, and clubhouse create a genuine neighborhood character, while the themed amenities — from the pool bar and grill to the games arcade and fitness center — mean there is something to do without leaving the gates. For primary residents and vacation homeowners alike, Encantada's lifestyle is defined by water views, warm Florida evenings on a private patio, and effortless access to the best of the Westside corridor.

The surrounding Kissimmee Westside offers one of Central Florida's most complete entertainment corridors directly off US 192 — dinner shows, water parks, outlet shopping, and more are within minutes. The SR-429 interchange directly adjacent to the community provides fast access to Disney's western entrance and the broader greater Orlando area.

How Encantada Compares

Encantada occupies a distinctive niche in the Westside resort corridor: a guard-gated, lake-centered townhome community where every unit includes a private outdoor patio with a hot tub or pool — a feature that most similarly priced Kissimmee resort communities reserve only for single-family homes. The combination of resort-level amenities, 24-hour gated security, and vacation-rental eligibility creates a value proposition that competes well against both larger resort communities and standalone vacation homes.

Unlike communities that rely on a single shared pool complex, Encantada gives every owner private outdoor relaxation space while still providing full resort facilities at the clubhouse. The absence of a CDD fee is a meaningful cost advantage relative to many newer Kissimmee developments.

Encantada HOA & CDD Information

Encantada is governed by a mandatory Homeowners Association that oversees the resort's operations, security, and shared amenity maintenance. The HOA structure supports the community's resort-style character and ensures consistent standards throughout the property. One of Encantada's notable financial advantages is the absence of a Community Development District (CDD) fee — learn more about CDDs and why their absence matters financially in our What's a CDD guide.

HOA fees at Encantada cover an unusually comprehensive list of services, including basic cable television, water and sewer, exterior building maintenance, grounds and common area landscaping, community pool operations, security and guard staffing, and more. For owners using their units as vacation rentals, HOA-managed services significantly reduce the direct operational burden compared to managing a standalone vacation property.
