Reunion Resort Vacation Rental Interior Design Guide 2026
Reunion Resort is the most upscale short-term-rental market in the Orlando area — a gated, 2,300-acre golf resort where guests arrive expecting a genuinely luxury experience. Budget furnishings and generic decor get punished here. This guide covers how to design a Reunion Resort vacation rental that commands a premium nightly rate and earns the reviews that keep it booked.
Who books Reunion Resort rentals
Reunion draws affluent families, golf groups, and multi-family vacations willing to pay more for space, quality, and amenities. They’re comparing your home to four- and five-bedroom luxury villas, not budget townhomes — so the bar for finishes, comfort, and photography is high. Design for the guest who could afford a resort hotel but chose a private home for the space and the pool.
The design approach that wins at Reunion
The winning formula at Reunion is elevated, hotel-grade interiors with a few tasteful statement moments. Think cohesive, sophisticated palettes, quality case goods and upholstery, layered lighting, and styled-but-durable details. Keep the common areas and primary suites refined and broadly appealing; this is not the market for loud, low-budget theming. The goal is a home that photographs like a boutique resort.
Themed rooms, done the luxury way
Themed kids’ rooms still help at Reunion — families travel with children — but execute them at a higher level: custom built-ins, quality millwork, and subtle, well-lit detailing rather than licensed merchandise. One or two beautifully done themed bedrooms add booking appeal without undercutting the home’s premium positioning.
Outdoor and amenity spaces matter more here
At Reunion, the private pool, summer kitchen, and outdoor living areas are core to the booking decision — not an afterthought. Furnish them to resort standard with durable, stylish outdoor seating, shade, and lighting. Homes near the water park or with standout pool decks photograph and book at a premium.
The ROI of luxury design at Reunion
Reunion supports some of the highest nightly rates in the region — but only for homes that look the part. Professional, elevated design is what lets you sit at the top of the market instead of competing on price. The payoff is a higher rate, stronger occupancy, and the 5-star reviews that compound over time. In a premium market, design isn’t a cost — it’s what unlocks the rate.
Common Reunion property types
Condos and townhomes. Refined, hotel-grade interiors and a standout primary suite carry these.
4–7 bedroom luxury villas. The core of the market — elevated common areas, a private pool styled to resort standard, and one or two tasteful themed rooms.
8+ bedroom estate homes (incl. Encore at Reunion). Multiple suites, game and theater rooms, and full outdoor living — designed cohesively to justify top-tier rates.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of design works best at Reunion Resort?
Elevated, hotel-grade interiors with cohesive palettes, quality furnishings, and resort-standard outdoor spaces — plus one or two tastefully executed themed kids’ rooms. Budget or loud, low-end theming underperforms in this premium market.
How much does it cost to design a Reunion Resort rental?
Because Reunion homes are larger and finished to a higher standard, turnkey design and furnishing typically runs higher than the area average. See our full cost guide for ranges by property size.
Are themed rooms worth it at a luxury resort like Reunion?
Yes, when executed well — families still book for them. The key is custom, high-quality theming in the kids’ rooms while keeping primary suites and common areas sophisticated.
