Vacation Home Communities in Orlando
Compare leading vacation home communities near Orlando, including Reunion, ChampionsGate, Encore and Solterra. Explore amenities, rental potential and homes for sale.
Find Your Fit in the Greater Orlando Area
People commonly search for “vacation home communities in Orlando,” but the communities they are looking for are generally located outside Orlando’s city limits across the wider Central Florida vacation-home market. Reunion Resort and Encore Resort have Kissimmee addresses, ChampionsGate is southwest of Walt Disney World near I-4, and Solterra is in the Davenport area. In this context, “Orlando” describes the wider destination rather than the precise location of the home.
Each community offers a different ownership experience, so the regional Orlando name should only be the starting point. Compare the amenities, property types, rental rules, association costs and location of each resort, alongside how you intend to use the home, whether for family vacations, golf trips, rental income or longer periods of personal use.

Reunion Resort: Golf and Recreation
Reunion Resort gives golf a central role, with three signature courses designed by Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus. A five-acre water park, tennis, pickleball, miniature golf and on-site dining broaden the appeal beyond the fairways. For a second-home buyer, that variety can shape time spent here without making every day revolve around a theme-park visit: a round of golf, a game on the courts or dinner within the resort may be part of the plan. Golf and water-park privileges depend on the home’s approved access and membership arrangements, so compare those details as carefully as the property itself.
ChampionsGate: Clubhouse-Centered Leisure
The Oasis Club serves registered residents and guests of Lennar’s ChampionsGate community, bringing indoor and outdoor leisure together. Its restaurant, fitness center, movie theater and arcade sit alongside a lazy river, waterslide, splash zone, quiet pool, spa and sand-volleyball courts. That range gives buyers room to consider different preferences within a household, from exercise and movies to poolside afternoons. It also makes the exact subdivision important. The broader ChampionsGate destination includes the Omni resort and its golf facilities, which are not automatically part of residential club privileges. Compare a home’s specific community and Oasis Club access rather than relying on the ChampionsGate name alone.
Encore Resort at Reunion: Family Recreation
Encore Resort at Reunion centers much of its recreation around its own Aqua Park, with waterslides, a younger children’s splash area and a resort pool. Tennis, basketball, volleyball, a soccer field and a fitness center add variety for families spending time at their second home. The East Side Amenity Center contributes a pavilion and barbecue area, playground and splash pad, giving owners more to consider beyond the main pool facilities. Despite the name, Encore remains distinct from Reunion: Encore membership does not include access to Reunion’s water park. When comparing homes, establish the Encore amenity arrangements attached to the particular property.
Orlando-Area Communities at a Glance
Compare these four communities by the activities you value, then examine the access arrangements attached to each home.
Reunion Resort
Three signature golf courses anchor a broad recreation offering. Property-specific access and membership arrangements matter.
Encore Resort at Reunion
Its own Aqua Park, sports facilities and East Side Amenity Center offer a family-recreation focus.
ChampionsGate
The Oasis Club combines pool recreation, dining and indoor activities for Lennar’s ChampionsGate community.
Solterra
A clubhouse, gym, café and pool facilities shape the shared recreation offering in this Davenport-area community.
Solterra: Shared Amenities and Community Facilities
Solterra, in the Davenport area, brings together a clubhouse, gym, café, pool, slide and lazy river. For owners who want recreation within their community, that mix offers ways to build exercise, swimming and relaxed meals into time at their second home. The Community Development District, or CDD, maintains certain infrastructure and facilities and publishes budgets, assessment schedules and amenity policies. Those documents help buyers understand the responsibilities behind the shared spaces, not just their appeal in photographs. Read them alongside the particulars of a home to understand applicable assessments and access arrangements before deciding whether Solterra suits your ownership plans.
Everyday Convenience Beyond the Resort
During longer periods at your home, groceries, dining and road connections matter alongside pools and golf. Consider each property’s location.
Groceries and Pharmacy
Publix at Champions Gate Village Shopping Center includes a supermarket and pharmacy—practical services to consider when mapping errands from a home.
Dining Choices
ChampionsGate’s restaurants complement dining at Reunion, the Oasis Club and Solterra’s café, giving buyers food options to weigh alongside recreation.
Regional Road Connections
ChampionsGate sits beside I-4. Use that location as a starting point for comparing regional routes from each property, rather than assuming equal access.
Considering Rental Use Alongside Your Own?
If rental use is part of your plan, start with the property’s address rather than the Orlando label. The region spans different jurisdictions, and Orlando city’s guidance distinguishes resident-hosted, partial-home sharing from whole-property commercial accommodation. Before relying on a rental plan, check the permissions that apply to the address, the community’s rules, any management obligations and restrictions on owner use. These questions help establish whether the home fits the balance you want between personal enjoyment and rental activity. Treat amenity access as a separate consideration: permission to rent does not establish golf, clubhouse or water-park privileges. Review both sets of arrangements for the individual property before committing to a purchase.

Find the Community That Fits Your Plans
Start your shortlist with the recreation you enjoy, the everyday services you need and how you intend to use your home. Golf, family pool days and clubhouse activities point toward different community choices, but the individual property matters just as much as the resort name. Explore homes for sale, compare their access arrangements and ownership responsibilities, and focus on the details that suit your personal plans.
