Taranova-Imperialakes

The Resort & Its Setting

Taranova-Imperialakes sits within Meadow Oaks Condominiums in Mulberry — a small, residential town in central Florida's interior rather than one of the big coastal or theme-park strips. As an independent resort, it isn't tied to a major hotel brand; it runs its own operations while giving owners access to the RCI exchange network. That combination tends to appeal to owners who want straightforward, no-frills vacation ownership, with the option to trade their week for stays at other RCI-affiliated resorts worldwide.

The Area & Things to Do

Mulberry's appeal lies in its position: inland and away from the crowds, yet still close enough to central Florida's main draws for easy day trips. Winter Haven, about 14 miles (22 km) away, is known for its water-based recreation and family attractions. Further out, Bok Tower Gardens near Lake Wales (roughly 24 miles/38 km) offers a historic 205-acre garden setting that makes a popular half-day outing, while Lake Wales Ridge (around 22 miles/35 km) has trails and scenery for anyone wanting a quieter, nature-focused break from the theme parks. None of this is beachfront Florida — it's the interior, residential, lake-and-citrus-country side of the state, which is exactly the draw for owners who've already done the coastal resorts and want something calmer.

Selling or Renting Your Week Here

If you own at Taranova-Imperialakes and are considering a sale or a rental, BidMyTimeshare.com is built for exactly that: a private, owner-to-owner marketplace where you list your week, set your own asking price, and deal directly with interested buyers or renters. There's no commission taken on the sale — you pay a single, one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and that's it.

Because Taranova-Imperialakes is independently managed, any resale will go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large branded transfer process. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't published and can change from year to year. A resale buyer typically takes over the deeded or contracted week itself, along with ongoing RCI exchange eligibility, but not any loyalty points, credits, or promotional perks tied to the original purchase — those generally stay with the resort's internal programmes rather than passing to a new owner.

What Renters Look For

Renters considering Taranova-Imperialakes are usually after an affordable, uncrowded central Florida base rather than a resort with headline amenities. They'll want clarity on unit size, the week or season on offer, and whether it's a fixed or floating week. It's also worth mentioning the RCI affiliation upfront, in case you're renting to someone who might want to combine their stay with an exchange visit elsewhere.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone buying resale or booking an exchange stay should confirm current availability and terms directly with RCI or the resort's management, as online details can lag behind what's actually on offer. If you're planning to use the week yourself via exchange, book well ahead for the winter months — central Florida's mild, dry season from November to March is when most owners want to travel, which means exchange demand into Mulberry and the wider region tends to tighten up. Always check maintenance fees and any transfer costs in writing before finalising a resale.
