Families can live like a local in Orlando with a choice of beautiful homes ranging from four- to thirteen bedrooms . Each home features a distinctive design with beautifully appointed , open-plan interiors that offer kitchen , living , and dining areas , as well as a private backyard with a pool and hot tub . Elite homes feature additional perks such as game rooms or home theatres , larger pools and larger backyard areas featuring an expansive outdoor living space .
It was with excited whoops that the Ready ’ s heralded their arrival at our luxury four-bedroom home at Encore Resort at Reunion . Mr R was excited by the ample driveway and direct to garage access for unloading the unprecedented amount of Disney and Universal related paraphernalia that we needed to attempt ( unsuccessfully ) to squeeze into our suitcases to get it back home to Kent . Maddie was thrilled at laying claim to the privacy offered by the ground floor bedroom complete with queen bed and easy access to the kitchen . Lyla was delighted by the comfort of the double bed adjacent to the games room complete with yet another TV in which to indulge in some US cartoons . While Jaxon was in his element nabbing the bunkbed room , only faced with the dilemma of which bed to sleep in after making full use of the pool !
With more space than you could possibly hope for , the opportunity to spread out , find our own domains and have some much needed peace amongst the thrill of theme parks and shopping was like an oasis of home-comfort calm . Downstairs there is a huge family room , with a fully equipped kitchen , lounge with a huge soft corner sofa , and a huge TV . And of course , outside was our own private pool - perfect for a cooling dip to refresh from the Floridian sun .
But the house is not all you ’ ll find .
Resort residences here are also complemented by an outstanding range of on-site luxury resort amenities . There ’ s a 10-acre water park ; where the kids made full use of the mini splash area for kids , large swimming pool and an array of water slides ; multiple restaurant dining options ; kids activities ; tennis , volleyball and basketball courts and a football field ; fitness centre ; and even home food delivery and catering experiences such as in-home chef options , cooking demonstrations and in-home bartending services . And , if you wish to refrain from driving ( and those costly theme park parking charges ), guests here also have the benefit of complimentary transportation to the main Orlando theme parks with attraction tickets available for purchase onsite if you need them .
It was incredible just how quickly we settled into our new ‘ home ’. The kids ventured to the splash park , we managed to grab half an hour on the sun loungers in the garden , we ate together at the giant family table , and of course we were only ever less that 30 minutes drive from the Orlando action ( and the airport !).
Offering complete peace of mind , fabulous space and a prime position for any Orlando holiday , we couldn ’ t recommend a luxury home here enough .
It made us even more reluctant to leave , but has given us every reason to return !
