Villas, condos, and units across all ten Poinciana villages

Apartment & Condo Cleaning in Poinciana, FL | Sunshine Clean & Care

Half the units here sit empty from May to October. We are the crew that walks in before you do, so the door opens on clean air instead of a shut-up-all-summer smell.

Poinciana Is Two Different Towns Wearing One Name

Ask someone here where they live and they will not say Poinciana. They will say Solivita, or Village 4, or Tuscany Preserve. That is the whole point. This is the largest unincorporated master-planned community in the country, ten villages under the Association of Poinciana Villages, and the county line runs right through the middle of it. Villages 1, 2, 5 and 9 sit in Osceola County on the 34758 side. Villages 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 sit in Polk County on the 34759 side. Same mailing name, two different property appraisers.

The cleaning side splits the same way. On one end you have attached villas inside Solivita, roughly 1,361 to 2,241 square feet, low-maintenance by design, owned by people who spend a good chunk of the year up north. On the other end you have working families in the newer Polk villages and Poinciana Enclave, a lot of them renting, a lot of them commuting to Kissimmee or catching the SunRail up to Orlando. About 23 percent of the occupied homes here are rentals, so units change hands constantly.

What both ends share is the way a Central Florida unit behaves when nobody is in it. Close a villa up in May with the thermostat parked at 80 and come back in November, and the grout in the guest bath has gone grey, the lanai screens have caught a season of pollen and lovebug residue, the sliding track has silted up, and the AC returns have a film on them. It is not neglect. It is humidity plus a closed door.

That is what this page is for. If your Poinciana home is a full single-family house rather than a villa or condo, our Poinciana deep cleaning page fits better.

The Poinciana Seasonal Calendar We Work Around

Solivita and the 55+ villages empty out and refill on a schedule you can set a watch to. We book around it instead of pretending it does not exist.

1

April into May: the close-up clean

Before you drive north. Fridge emptied and wiped inside, trash and recycling out so nothing sits for six months, bathrooms disinfected and dried, linens stripped or laundered on site, lanai swept, sliding tracks cleared. A unit that gets put away clean comes back a lot easier.

2

June through September: the check-in visit

Optional, and plenty of owners skip it. But a single mid-summer visit catches the things that only show up when a place is closed: mildew starting in the shower caulk, a filter that needs changing, a slow drip under the sink. We send photos either way.

3

October into November: the welcome home clean

This is the one people actually call about. Scheduled for the week before you land. Dust film off every hard surface, grout and caulk scrubbed back, AC vents and returns dusted, screens and lanai handled, beds made with fresh linens. You unlock the door and it smells like a house somebody lives in.

4

December through March: your normal rhythm

While you are in residence, most Solivita villas run bi-weekly or monthly. Small footprint, close together inside one gate, so the per-visit price is friendlier than a house out on Marigold Avenue.

Book the close-up and the welcome-home together and we hold both dates on the calendar. You do not have to remember in September.

What Gets Cleaned Inside a Poinciana Unit

Almost every home here is concrete block and stucco with tile floors, vaulted ceilings, and a screened lanai off the back. We work it in that order.

Lanai, screens, and the slider

Screened lanai or Florida room swept out, including the corners where lovebug residue and lake pollen collect
Sliding glass door track dug out and wiped, the single grimiest six inches in most Poinciana units
Screen panels brushed down and lanai furniture wiped, an add-on almost nobody around here offers
Front entry, door frame, and the garage-side door most villa owners actually use

Tile and grout, since that is your whole floor

Ceramic and porcelain tile vacuumed and mopped, with grout lines worked by hand where they have gone dull
Tile baseboards and transition strips wiped, where mop water leaves a line over time
Carpeted bedrooms vacuumed, edges and closet floors included

Bathrooms, where humidity shows up first

Walk-in shower or tub disinfected, hard-water film taken off glass, doors, and fixtures
Caulk seams and grout joints hand-scrubbed, the exact spot mildew starts in a closed-up unit
Toilet sanitized inside, outside, base, and behind, plus grab bars and comfort-height seating hardware
Exhaust fan cover dusted and mirrors, vanity, and cabinet fronts left streak-free

Kitchen, great room, and bedrooms

Counters, backsplash, and the breakfast bar that most villa floor plans put front and center
Stovetop degreased, microwave in and out, fridge and dishwasher exteriors, sink and faucet polished
Vaulted-ceiling fan blades and high shelf ledges dusted, which take a ladder most owners should not be climbing
AC vents and the return grille dusted, since the system runs close to ten months a year down here
Beds made or linens changed, with laundry run on site in your own washer and dryer
Interior windows, sills, blinds, switch plates, and doorknobs

Oven and fridge interiors, cabinet and drawer insides, wall washing, and full carpet treatment are add-ons on a maintenance visit. On a welcome-home clean, a lease turnover, or a post-construction first clean they are usually built into the job. Laundry is done on site in your machines. We do not take linens off the property.

Who Calls Us From Poinciana

Gates, Guards, and Getting In While You Are Gone

Most of our Poinciana work happens in an empty home. The access piece is not an afterthought, it is the first thing we settle.

Guarded entries: Solivita and Tuscany Preserve run staffed gates. Put us on your vendor or guest list once, or send a pass, and we clear the gate without calling you in Michigan
Keys, codes, and lockboxes: we agree on the protocol in writing before the first visit and confirm the same way every time after
Background-checked cleaners: every person who walks into your home has been checked, and we send the same crew back so it is a familiar face, not a stranger
Licensed, insured, and bonded: if the Association of Poinciana Villages or your sub-association wants proof before a vendor works on site, we send it
Photos when we finish: out of state owners get a set of pictures the same day, so you know it is done without a phone call
Arrival windows we keep: the curving village streets and cul-de-sacs make routing slow, so we stack jobs inside one village per day and give you a real window

What a Poinciana Unit Clean Costs

Most apartments, condos, and attached villas in Poinciana land between $100 and $290. A 1,361 square foot Solivita duplex villa sits at the low end. A 2,241 square foot villa with a den, two full baths, and a big lanai sits higher. Four things move the number:

Square footage and bath count: the villa floor plans here vary by close to 900 square feet, and baths take the most time per room
How long it sat: a welcome-home clean after six months closed up is a bigger job than a bi-weekly visit in February
Lanai and screen work: a large screened lanai or Florida room adds real square footage that a lot of quotes quietly ignore
Neighbors booking together: two or three units on the same Solivita street or in the same village get a better rate each, because we are already there

Flat rate, quoted before we start, supplies included. No hourly meter and nothing invented at the end.

Poinciana Apartment & Condo Cleaning FAQ

That is one of the most common jobs we book in Poinciana. Give us your arrival date and we schedule the welcome-home clean for the few days before it. Get us cleared at the Solivita gate ahead of time, along with a key or lockbox code, and you do not have to be in Florida for any of it. We text photos when the crew wraps up.

Villages 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are Polk County, mostly 34759. Villages 1, 2, 5 and 9 are Osceola County, mostly 34758. For your price and your schedule it changes nothing, we clean both sides of the line. It matters mainly for your tax bill and which county offices you deal with, not for us.

Usually yes, and it takes going after the source instead of spraying over it. That means grout and shower caulk scrubbed, AC vents and returns dusted, drains flushed, the fridge and its seals wiped, soft goods and linens laundered on site, and the whole place aired while we work. If a unit sat with a failed AC or standing water, that is beyond a cleaning and we will tell you straight rather than take the job.

Yes. Sweeping the lanai and clearing the slider track are part of a standard visit. Brushing the screen panels down and wiping lanai furniture is an add-on, and it is worth asking for out here. Being this close to Lake Marion Creek and the community ponds means pollen, lovebugs, and insect debris pile onto screens faster than most people expect.

We keep the same crew on the same home whenever the schedule allows, and everyone is background checked. That matters more here than most places, because a lot of our Poinciana clients hand over a key and then leave the state. Once a cleaner knows your villa, they know which cabinet the vacuum lives in and which grout line always needs the extra minute.

An empty unit is the best painting window there is. No furniture to move, no fumes while you are trying to sleep, and nobody working around you. The older village homes still carry original builder flat paint and dated trim, and a repaint before you list or before the next tenant makes a real difference. See interior painting in Poinciana, or bundle it with your close-up clean and we handle both in one stretch.

All ten villages, Solivita, Tuscany Preserve, and Poinciana Enclave, from Cypress Parkway and Marigold Avenue up Poinciana Parkway toward Pleasant Hill Road. Our Poinciana service area page lays it out, and the full service area list covers the rest of Central Florida and Tampa Bay. Not sure if your street is in range? Call 727-207-2119 and we will tell you in a minute.
