Background
A brief history
Reunion Resort was developed in the early 2000s by Reunion Resort and Club, a subsidiary of the Ginn Company, on approximately 2,300 acres of former ranchland and citrus groves in Osceola County. The resort community broke ground around 2004 and was designed from the outset as a luxury vacation-ownership and short-term-rental destination, set just seven miles from Walt Disney World. The Ginn Company brought in three legendary golf designers — Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Watson — each of whom designed a signature course on the property, a distinction virtually unmatched in Florida.
The 2008 financial crisis hit Reunion hard, as it did many ambitious resort developments. The Ginn Company faced significant financial difficulties, and the community went through foreclosure and ownership changes before stabilizing under new management. Salamander Hotels and Resorts later became involved in the hospitality operations, and the resort's amenities were substantially upgraded through the 2010s.
By the 2020s, Reunion had fully reinvented itself as one of Central Florida's premier luxury resort communities. A $30 million water park, expanded clubhouse, and additional villa and custom-home construction pushed prices into the multi-million-dollar range for the finest properties. Today Reunion functions simultaneously as a primary residence community, a vacation-home investment hub, and a golf destination attracting players from around the world.
The feel
What it's like to live here
Reunion Resort operates on a unique dual rhythm. On any given day you will find families on vacation loading up golf carts for a round on the Watson course, while a few streets over, full-time residents walk their dogs past Spanish-Mediterranean villas in the early morning quiet. The architecture is consistent and upscale — tile roofs, stucco facades, resort-quality landscaping — giving the community a cohesive look that feels more like a five-star resort than a typical subdivision.
The density of short-term rentals is high, which investors love and long-term residents factor into their decision-making. Common areas are hotel-quality: the water park, multiple pools, tennis courts, and three distinctly styled golf courses all feel professionally maintained. The pace is relaxed but the amenity calendar is active. Proximity to I-4 and US-27 makes reaching Disney, Universal, or Orlando International Airport straightforward, and the Posner Park retail corridor on US-27 handles everyday shopping needs.
The details
What to expect
Architecture
Spanish-Mediterranean and resort-contemporary homes ranging from townhome-style villas to large custom estates, with tile roofs and professional landscaping maintained to resort standards throughout.
Golf
Three 18-hole signature courses — Nicklaus, Palmer, and Watson — each with a distinct character; the Nicklaus course is the most celebrated and regularly hosts tournaments.
Short-Term Rentals
Short-term rental is permitted and widely practiced; buyers should confirm their specific parcel's zoning and any HOA sub-association rules, as regulations vary by neighborhood within the resort.
HOA
HOA fees are substantial and cover resort-level landscaping, security, and access to common amenities; additional club membership fees apply for unrestricted golf access.
Commute
Located at US-27 and Reunion Blvd, roughly 7 miles from Disney World and about 30 minutes to downtown Orlando via I-4, making this workable for Disney-area employers but less ideal for downtown commuters.

Market Commentary
What the market is doing
What I tell buyers is that Reunion's price range is wide for a reason — a standard vacation villa in a rental program trades very differently from a custom lakefront home on a Nicklaus fairway. The short-term-rental allowance is the single biggest value driver here; buyers who intend to rent can underwrite part of their mortgage with rental income, which supports prices. Cap rates on well-managed rental homes are legitimate. For primary residents, you are paying a resort premium for the amenities and the Disney proximity, so go in with eyes open.
