Reunion Resort: Our Florida Vacation

December 14, 2020 | Travel

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Reunion Resort, however, all opinions are my own.

When I think about going on vacation in the Orlando area, I think of staying in a hotel, or sometimes maybe a condo. It hasn’t really crossed my mind often to stay in a vacation home, but this trip may have changed my mind!

I had heard of Reunion Resort but didn’t know much about it. In case you were wondering, it’s huge (spans both sides of the interstate! Don’t worry, there is a bridge to go over it!) There are small homes, large homes, HUGE homes, condos, a playground, mini golf, tennis, pickle ball, a fitness center, plenty of pools, and even a water park! It is spread out, but no worries if you don’t have a car, you can rent a golf cart during your stay!

We stayed in a beautiful 5 bedroom vacation home with a pool, hot tub, and golf course views…and the cost is cheaper than it costs to stay in some Deluxe resorts on Disney property. I was FLOORED.

Our particular home had a game room, surround sound, an outdoor grill, several very nice TV’s, and all the comforts of home like dishes, a washer and dryer, and PLENTY of room to spread out.

There was even a cute upstairs balcony off the master bedroom. So peaceful and quiet as well!

We spent a LOT of time out back at the pool, and in the game room (they converted the garage). Emma Kate was in heaven and literally cried when we had to leave. Bless her. She gets it from her mama.

The great thing about Florida is there are very few days where it is too cold to swim! It made me want a backyard pool so badly!

We played pool, foosball, Xbox, and just hung out in the game room.

Check in was a breeze. They have a gated entrance manned by friendly staff who directed us to the check in building. We signed a few forms, were given our room keys and golf cart, and off we went!

This was a great hide and seek house. So. much. space. Could easily fit multiple families traveling together to make it even more budget friendly!

Emma Kate’s favorite room? Well, that’s an easy one. She slept in this adorable Frozen room and totally geeked out over it. I will admit, I kinda wanted to sleep in there, too!

There are also plenty of places to eat at Reunion Resort.

We had the opportunity to dine at 7593 Chophouse, and it was delicious!

Service was amazing as well, and we actually got to test out a brand new menu! There are more casual options of course, as well as a grill and pool bar at the waterpark.

Speaking of waterpark…we went twice! Emma Kate loved the lazy river and waterslides!

I loved the tropical drinks!

Reunion resort

They have a kids area with water slides, a lazy river with larger waterslide, a pool with zero entry, as well as life size games of things like Connect Four and Jenga. I also saw a sand volleyball court! We rode our golf cart here, it was just a couple minutes from the house.

Reunion resort

We also enjoyed the pool in our own yard, it was so nice to not have to pack everything up and go somewhere else and just jump in!

Reunion resort

We were only at Reunion Resort for two days, so we didn’t get to explore as much as we wanted to, but hopefully we will be able to go back soon! I highly recommend checking into the vacation rentals they have available. They have a great search filter so you can search by number of bedrooms, dates, etc. Go check out the beautiful homes and start planning your next trip!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s been personally victimized by the passage of time and a perky Gen Z girlie. 😂

I didn’t realize how much mental space hair removal was taking up until it just… wasn’t anymore. Between games, trips, and everything in between, having something I can do at home in minutes has been a total game changer. The app-guided treatments keep me consistent without having to think about it, and I’m already noticing smoother skin that actually lasts. And yes — the full-body, 10-minute-at-home situation still feels a little unreal. 

If you’ve been on the fence, Prime Day (June 14–27) is definitely the moment to check it out with $120 off. #BraunSmartIPL

We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we just needed a break from the noise.
What we found in Florida was something better than that. #ad

Our first stop in Auburndale was all about slowing down in the best way. We stayed in a cozy tiny home at Camp Margaritaville (you can also stay in an RV!). We enjoyed coffee on the porch, our daughter loved the pool and waterslide (there is even a splash zone for the littles!), and at night we slowed things down with s’mores instead of screens. It felt like nature + comfort + family time all finally in the same place. They have so many other amenities like mini golf, golf cart rentals, pickleball, a playground, cornhole, and more. Nearby, we explored the Florida Children’s Museum and had incredible food and drinks at Smith’s American Tavern and Black & Brew Coffee. 

Then, we headed over to Fort Myers to experience a completely different side of the state. Shelling walks at sunrise, beach volleyball, pool cabanas, and the kind of Gulf sunsets that make everyone go quiet for a minute. Direct beach access at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers made it effortless to go from “let’s check it out” to toes in the sand in minutes. There were several restaurants on property, so we never even got in our car. That plus live music, fire pits, the spa, and lawn games made it easy to want to stay put and relax.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scenery… it was how easy it was to actually be together here. No rushing or overplanning. That’s the true Floridays feeling for me. Laid-back, a little unexpected, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. 🌴☀️

When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we h When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we head to Pigeon Forge Snow. ❄️ #sponsored 

One of our favorite family activities in Pigeon Forge because you can snow tube year-round, rain or shine, without worrying about the weather outside. 

My daughter could do the tubing hill over and over, and the indoor snow play area makes it even more fun. Honestly such a good break from the summer heat. Plus, it’s super close to nearby attractions like Dollywood and several mountain coasters.
