Category: Encore at Reunion West

If you are researching vacation rentals in the Reunion area of Kissimmee, Florida, you have probably come across terms like Reunion Resort, Encore Resort, and Encore at Reunion West. It can be confusing, and we believe in complete transparency with our guests. This guide will explain exactly what is and is not included when you stay at 450 Burma Road, what is nearby, and why our property is designed so that you genuinely do not need resort amenities to have an incredible vacation.

Important Distinction: Encore at Reunion West vs. Encore Resort

This is the most important thing to understand before booking. 450 Burma Road is located in Encore at Reunion West, which is a gated vacation rental community. It is not the same as Encore Resort (encorereunion.com), which is a separate resort property with its own amenities like a water park, fitness center, and restaurants.

Guests staying at 450 Burma Road do not have access to Encore Resort amenities. We want to be completely upfront about this because we have seen other listings in the area that blur this distinction, and we do not think that is fair to guests. You deserve to know exactly what you are booking.

What Encore at Reunion West does offer is a secure, gated community with quiet residential streets, well-maintained grounds, and a peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for families who want a relaxing home base for their Orlando vacation.

What IS Included with Your Stay at 450 Burma

While you will not have access to external resort amenities, 450 Burma Road was specifically designed and equipped to be a self-contained vacation destination. Here is what is included with every stay.

Gated community access. Encore at Reunion West is a gated community, providing an extra layer of security and privacy for your family. The neighborhood features well-maintained landscaping, quiet streets, and a peaceful environment that feels removed from the tourist bustle just minutes away.

Private heated pool and hot tub. You do not need a resort water park when you have your own private heated pool and hot tub right outside your back door. No crowds, no time restrictions, no towel reservations. Just your family, warm water, and the Florida sunshine. The pool area includes a pergola with dual premium fans, a luxury outdoor sectional, a full dining set, patio string lights, and landscape lighting for a true resort-quality outdoor experience.

Full game room. Resort arcades charge per play. Our game room is unlimited and free. The Pac-Man arcade cabinet comes loaded with 1,300 classic games. Add air hockey, ping pong, foosball, premium cornhole, plus a PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch OLED, and you have more entertainment options than most resort game rooms offer.

Gourmet kitchen. Resort restaurants are convenient, but they are expensive and often require reservations. The full kitchen at 450 Burma features granite counters, premium appliances, an air fryer, an automatic espresso machine, a burr coffee grinder, and a Keurig. Cook breakfast before the parks, prepare lunch to take with you, and enjoy a relaxed family dinner at home. The kitchen alone can save your family hundreds of dollars over a week-long stay.

Premium sleep experience. Every bedroom features premium mattresses, luxury pillows, high-quality bedding, blackout curtains combined with blackout shades, and sound machines. Six themed bedrooms including Star Wars with an LED star ceiling, Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse, and a sophisticated master suite. The house sleeps up to 16 guests comfortably.

Smart home technology. Keyless smart locks for easy check-in, smart thermostats you can control from your phone, smart lighting throughout the house, and USB-C outlets built into the walls for convenient device charging.

Ultra-fast internet. AT&T Fiber delivering 1 Gbps speeds through a Wi-Fi 7 mesh network with a backup 5G connection. Stream movies, game online, video call family back home, or let everyone browse simultaneously without any slowdowns.

EV charging. A Tesla and 50-amp EV charger are available on-site for guests with electric vehicles.

What Is Nearby but Not Included

The Reunion and Kissimmee area offers plenty of attractions, dining, and recreation options close to 450 Burma Road. These are not included in your stay but are easily accessible and worth knowing about.

Island H2O Live water park. Just 5 minutes from the house, Island H2O Live is a full-scale water park with slides, a wave pool, lazy river, and more. It is a fantastic option for a non-Disney park day, especially with younger kids. Separate admission required.

Reunion Resort golf courses. The broader Reunion Resort area is home to three championship golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Watson. These courses are available for public play with separate green fees and tee time reservations. If you have golfers in your group, this is a world-class opportunity right in the neighborhood.

Nearby restaurants and dining. The Reunion and Champions Gate area has a growing selection of restaurants ranging from casual family dining to upscale options. Many are within a 5 to 10 minute drive. Popular spots include a variety of cuisines along US-192 and the Champions Gate dining corridor.

Shopping and groceries. Publix and Walmart are both under 5 minutes from the house, making grocery runs quick and convenient. The Loop and Vineland Premium Outlets are also within easy reach for shopping days.

The Broader Reunion and Kissimmee Area

The location of 450 Burma Road puts you in a sweet spot for accessing all of Orlando’s major attractions without being in the thick of the tourist congestion.

• Walt Disney World — 15 minutes away. All four parks, Disney Springs, and the water parks are a short drive.
• Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure — 25 minutes. The new Epic Universe park is also accessible from this area.
• SeaWorld Orlando — 20 minutes. A full day of marine life exhibits, roller coasters, and shows.
• Island H2O Live — 5 minutes. The closest water park option for a quick half-day trip.
• Orlando International Airport (MCO) — 30 minutes. An easy drive with no complicated routes.

Why You Do Not Need Resort Amenities

Here is the honest truth about resort amenities at Orlando vacation properties. Most families who book resort-affiliated rentals expecting to use the water park, gym, and restaurants every day find that they rarely use them. Between full days at the theme parks and evenings relaxing at the house, there simply is not much time for resort amenities.

At 450 Burma, we took a different approach. Instead of relying on external resort amenities that may come with crowds, wait times, and extra fees, we invested in making the house itself a complete vacation experience. Your private pool beats a crowded resort pool. Your game room is free and available 24 hours a day. Your gourmet kitchen saves you money compared to resort restaurants. And your outdoor entertainment area with the pergola, string lights, and luxury furniture creates an atmosphere that rivals any resort lounge.

The result is a vacation home where everything you need is right under your roof, and the savings from not paying resort fees or overpriced resort dining go straight back into your vacation budget.

Book Your Stay with Full Confidence

We believe transparency builds trust, and trust is the foundation of a great guest experience. Now you know exactly what is included, what is nearby, and why 450 Burma Road stands on its own as a premier Orlando vacation rental without needing external resort amenities.

If you are looking for a location that puts you close to Disney World without the chaos of International Drive or the premium price of on-property resorts, Encore at Reunion West deserves a serious look.

What Is Encore at Reunion West?

Let us start with an important clarification, because the name can cause confusion. Encore at Reunion West is a gated vacation rental community — it is not the same as Encore Resort. Guests staying at properties in Encore at Reunion West do not have access to Encore Resort amenities such as the water park, gym, or on-site restaurants at encorereunion.com. These are two separate entities, and we want to be upfront about that so there are no surprises when you arrive.

What Encore at Reunion West does offer is something many families find even more valuable: a quiet, gated residential community with beautifully maintained homes, low traffic, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels a world away from the tourist corridors — while being just minutes from everything Orlando has to offer.

Location: Close to Everything That Matters

The biggest draw of Encore at Reunion West is its location. Our luxury vacation home at 450 Burma Street sits in the sweet spot of Central Florida, putting all the major attractions within easy reach:

• Disney World: Just 15 minutes away. Whether you are heading to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom, you are never far from the magic.
• Universal Studios: Approximately 25 minutes, making it easy to fit in a day at Universal or Islands of Adventure.
• SeaWorld: About 20 minutes by car.
• Island H2O Live: Only 5 minutes away — perfect for a quick water park day without the long drive.
• Orlando International Airport (MCO): Roughly 30 minutes, which makes arrival and departure days smooth and stress-free.
• Publix and Walmart: Under 5 minutes for groceries, snacks, sunscreen, and anything else you need.

This central location means you spend less time driving and more time enjoying your vacation. Compare that to staying on International Drive, where traffic can add 30 to 45 minutes to your Disney commute, or staying at a Disney resort where you pay a massive premium for proximity that often comes with its own logistical headaches like bus waits and monorail transfers.

The Gated Community Advantage

Encore at Reunion West is a gated community, which means controlled access and a level of privacy and security you simply do not get at a hotel. The streets inside the community are quiet and residential. Kids can look out the window and see palm trees and well-maintained homes rather than parking garages and busy roads.

For families, this peace of mind is invaluable. You are not sharing hallways with hundreds of strangers. You are not listening to the elevator ding at 2 AM or the neighbors slamming their hotel room door. When you come home after a 12-hour day at the parks, you pull into your own driveway, walk into your own private home, and decompress in total privacy.

Hotel vs. Vacation Home: What You Gain

Staying at a hotel near Disney might seem convenient, but the tradeoffs are significant, especially for larger families and groups. Here is how our 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom vacation home at 450 Burma compares:

• Space: Our home sleeps up to 16 guests comfortably. To accommodate the same group at a hotel, you would need 3 to 4 rooms — at a much higher combined cost.
• Privacy: Six separate bedrooms mean everyone gets their own space. Kids go to bed early in themed rooms (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse) while adults relax in the living room or by the pool.
• Kitchen: A full kitchen with granite counters, premium appliances, an air fryer, and premium coffee equipment (automatic espresso machine, burr grinder, and Keurig) means you can cook breakfast and pack lunches, saving hundreds of dollars over a week of restaurant meals.
• Private pool and hot tub: No sharing, no crowds, no rushing to claim chairs. Your own heated pool and hot tub are steps from the back door.
• Game room: A dedicated game room with a Pac-Man arcade (1,300 games), air hockey, ping pong, foosball, and premium cornhole. Plus PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch OLED for gaming enthusiasts.
• Laundry: A washer and dryer in the home means you can pack lighter and keep clothes fresh throughout your trip.

Quiet Residential Feel vs. Touristy Hotel Strips

If you have ever driven down International Drive, Highway 192, or the hotel corridors near the Disney Springs area, you know the scene: bumper-to-bumper traffic, neon signs, chain restaurants, souvenir shops, and constant noise. Some travelers enjoy that energy, but for families who want to relax at the end of the day, it can feel exhausting.

Encore at Reunion West is the opposite. You drive through the gate, pass quiet streets lined with vacation homes, and pull into your driveway. The loudest sound you are likely to hear is the kids playing in the pool. At night, the backyard comes alive with patio string lights and landscape lighting, creating a tranquil space under the pergola with dual premium fans and luxury outdoor furniture.

This environment is especially valuable for families with young children who need nap times and early bedtimes. The home features blackout curtains and shades plus sound machines in every bedroom, so little ones can sleep soundly no matter what time the rest of the group goes to bed.

Smart Home Comforts and Connectivity

Even though Encore at Reunion West has a quiet, residential atmosphere, our home at 450 Burma is anything but dated. The property features modern smart home technology that makes your stay seamless:

• Keyless smart locks: No fumbling for keys after a long day. Enter with a code.
• Smart thermostats: Keep the home at the perfect temperature.
• AT&T High-Speed Fiber (1 Gbps): Paired with Wi-Fi 7 mesh and backup 5G, so your internet never misses a beat whether you are streaming, video calling, or gaming.
• USB-C outlets throughout: Charge your devices conveniently in every room.
• Tesla and 50-amp EV charger: If you drive an electric vehicle, you can charge it right at the property.

A Home Base That Enhances Your Entire Trip

The best vacations are the ones where your accommodations work for you rather than against you. At 450 Burma, your home base in Encore at Reunion West gives you the proximity to Disney and other parks, the space and privacy of a real home, the entertainment options to enjoy rest days, and the quiet atmosphere to recharge every evening. Our Airbnb rating of 4.9 stars across 10 reviews reflects the experience our guests consistently have.

If you are considering a stay at 450 Burma, you may be wondering about access to Encore Resort amenities. This is one of the most common questions we receive, and we want to be completely transparent. Here is the honest answer.

The Short Answer

450 Burma is a privately owned vacation home located in the Encore at Reunion West neighborhood. It is not booked through Encore Resort (encorereunion.com). Because of this, guests staying at 450 Burma do not have access to the Encore Resort amenities.

What Amenities Does Encore Resort Offer?

Encore Resort at Reunion (encorereunion.com) is a resort management company that operates within the same gated community. When guests book directly through Encore Resort, they receive access to amenities such as:

• Aqua Park: A large water park with slides, a lazy river, and splash areas
• Fitness center with modern equipment
• On-site restaurants and dining options
• Sports courts for basketball and tennis
• Organized activities and kids programs
• Shuttle service to nearby theme parks

These amenities are reserved exclusively for guests who book and pay through Encore Resort directly. Since 450 Burma is managed by Orange Vacation Homes rather than Encore Resort, our guests cannot use these facilities.

Why We Are Honest About This

We believe in setting the right expectations. Some vacation rental listings in the Encore at Reunion West community are vague about amenity access, which leads to disappointment on arrival. We would rather be upfront so you can plan your vacation accordingly.

What 450 Burma Offers Instead

The good news is that 450 Burma is loaded with its own private amenities, so you genuinely will not feel like you are missing out. Here is what is included with every stay:

• Private heated pool: Your own pool, available anytime without crowds, lines, or shared spaces. Heat it to your preferred temperature.
• Hot tub: Relax after a day at the parks in your private spa.
• Game room: Enjoy arcade games and entertainment without leaving the house.
• Themed bedrooms: Kids will love the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, and Mickey Mouse themed rooms.
• Playground: A private outdoor play area for younger children.
• Tesla EV charger: Charge your electric vehicle overnight at no cost.
• Full kitchen: Save money by cooking meals at home with a fully equipped kitchen.
• 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms: Plenty of space for large families or groups.

Nearby Public Alternatives

Beyond what the house itself offers, there are excellent public attractions and facilities just minutes away:

Island H2O Live! Water Park (about 5 minutes)

If your family wants a full water park experience, Island H2O Live! is located at Margaritaville Resort, just a short drive from 450 Burma. It features thrilling water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, and a kids area. Tickets can be purchased online, and it is open seasonally.

Restaurants on US-27 (5 to 10 minutes)

You do not need on-site resort dining when there are dozens of restaurants within a few minutes on US-27. From Japanese hibachi to authentic Mexican food to pizza delivery, you will have plenty of options. Check out our guide to the best restaurants near Encore at Reunion West for specific recommendations.

Reunion Resort Golf Courses (5 minutes)

Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the three championship courses at the nearby Reunion Resort, designed by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Watson. These courses are open to the public and located just minutes from the house.

Walt Disney World (15 minutes)

Of course, the biggest attraction in the area is Walt Disney World, which is only about 15 minutes from 450 Burma. Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and other major Orlando theme parks are all within a 20 to 30 minute drive.

The Bottom Line

No, 450 Burma guests cannot access the Encore Resort water park, fitness center, restaurants, or other resort amenities. But with a private heated pool, hot tub, game room, themed bedrooms, a playground, and a location just 15 minutes from Disney World, you will have an incredible vacation experience. Many of our returning guests tell us they prefer having their own private amenities over shared resort facilities.
