Four Corners
Vacation homes across four counties on one ridge
Four Corners is where Osceola, Polk, Lake and Orange counties meet along US-27 and US-192, and almost every house is a vacation rental in a gated resort community: Windsor Hills, Windsor Palms, Emerald Island and Windsor at Westside on the Osceola side; Solterra, Solara, Bella Vida, Calabay Parc, Tuscan Ridge and Paradise Palms in Polk; Cagan Crossings toward Lake. The work is pool decks, paver sealing and driveway repair, scheduled between guests through a property manager, and the ground is the dry Candler sand of the ridge, not the wet flatwoods sand of Kissimmee.
Which county, which HOA
| Community | County | Built | ARC / management notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windsor Hills, Windsor Palms, Emerald Island, Windsor at Westside | Osceola (34747) | 2001–2015 | Management-company ARC; written criteria not yet verified by us; county driveway permit for widening |
| Solterra Resort | Polk (33837) | 2013– | Verified guidelines: three-car driveway max, no added walking area, no painted concrete, COI may be required; Artemis 407-705-2190 |
| Solara, Bella Vida, Paradise Palms, Calabay Parc, Tuscan Ridge | Polk | 2004–2022 | Management ARC; Polk permit rules; Paver Release Form for pavers in the right-of-way |
| Cagan Crossings, Citrus Ridge | Lake | 2000s– | Outside our county coverage for permits; we take pool-deck and sealing calls with the manager's approval |
How rental communities change the job
Three things. Scheduling: pool decks and sealing happen in the gap between check-out and check-in, usually two to four days, so we stage material the day before and finish sealing on a dry morning. Approval: every visible change goes through the community's ARC, and Solterra's guidelines let the board require the installer's insurance certificate naming the association before work starts. Wear: rental pool decks see more foot traffic, more chemicals and more pressure-washing than a family home, so we specify sealers with anti-slip additive and polymeric sand rated for frequent cleaning. The owner's guide is Pool Decks and Driveways for Vacation Rental Owners in Four Corners, ChampionsGate and Reunion; Solterra's rules are on Solterra Resort.
Ridge sand turns the base problem around
Most of Four Corners sits on Candler sand (97,496 acres in Polk County's survey) and Astatula sand: deep, excessively drained, and unable to compact when dry. Base placed on dry ridge sand in an August afternoon reads compacted and settles the first time it gets wet. We wet the subgrade and the limerock, compact in lifts, and probe. On the Osceola side near Reedy Creek the soil goes back to flatwoods sand with a high water table. The two are compared in Paver Base on Flatwoods Sand vs. Ridge Sand: Osceola and Polk Are Not the Same.
Costs in Four Corners (Q3 2026)
| Item | Unit | Low | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paver driveway, concrete pavers (60–80 mm), 6 in limerock base | sq ft | $14.00 | $22.00 | Borders, bands and cuts add; removal of old concrete adds $2.00–$4.00 |
| Paver pool deck over existing deck (thin pavers, coping) | sq ft | $15.00 | $24.00 | Coping and drain work priced separately |
| Travertine pool deck, tumbled, sand-set or thin-set | sq ft | $20.00 | $36.00 | Marble and large-format porcelain run higher |
| Paver clean, re-sand (polymeric) and seal | sq ft | $1.75 | $3.25 | Stripping an old failed sealer adds $0.75–$1.50 |
| Paver lift-and-relay of a sunken area | sq ft | $9.00 | $16.00 | Minimum charge applies to small areas |
Resort jobs price toward the top of each range because of gate access, turnover scheduling and ARC requirements; sealing several decks in one community on the same day brings the per-deck price down.

Context
One intersection, four counties, one economy
Four Corners is the area around the meeting point of Osceola, Polk, Lake and Orange counties along US-27 and US-192, and it exists as a place because of the vacation-home market rather than because of any municipal boundary. Windsor Hills, Windsor at Westside, Encore, Solterra just to the south and the ChampionsGate communities just to the east are all part of the same economy: short-term rental homes with private pools, managed by companies rather than occupied by owners.
That gives the work a distinct character. Pool decks are the dominant scope, the calendar is set by bookings rather than by the owner's convenience, the approvals run through a management company and an association, and the specification favours light colours, textured surfaces and penetrating sealers because guests, not owners, use the surfaces.
Which county are you actually in
| Community | County | Permit office | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windsor Hills | Osceola | Osceola County Building Office | Driveway permit and the 24 ft width cap apply |
| Windsor at Westside | Osceola | Osceola County | Same |
| Solterra Resort | Polk | Polk County Building Division | Association guidelines are unusually specific |
| Providence | Polk | Polk County | Own architectural review |
| ChampionsGate residential | Osceola | Osceola County | Sub-association review |
| Loughman area | Polk | Polk County | Often no association at all |
| West of US-27 toward Lake County | Lake | Lake County | Different right-of-way process |
Questions we get about this
Can you work between guests?
Yes. Pool-deck overlays take two to four days and sealing one dry day; we coordinate dates with the property manager and stage material the day before.
Which county is my rental in?
Windsor Hills, Windsor Palms, Emerald Island and Windsor at Westside are Osceola; Solterra, Solara, Bella Vida and Calabay Parc are Polk; Cagan Crossings is Lake. The permit finder checks the address.
Does the HOA need to approve a pool-deck overlay?
Every resort community here reviews visible changes. Solterra's written guidelines are on our HOA page; for the others we work from the management company's current form.
Why did the builder's driveway settle?
Ridge sand compacts only when wet; builders working dry in summer left base that settled the first rainy season. Rebuilding the base fixes it.
Do you do the whole community's decks?
We quote group sealing and repair for multiple homes with one manager; it lowers the per-home price.
