Don’t come expecting your standard theme park area hotel at this popular Orlando vacation resort. Encore is all about vacation rental homes with hotel-like services, and you can choose from houses with three to up to 12 bedrooms, almost all of which have private pools.

The property’s community Club and Aqua Park is a huge hit with families, with thrilling drop slides, a huge pool, cabanas you can rent for the day, and the Surfin’ Safari children’s splash area for the younger members of your crew. For families who love playing sports together, the resort’s soccer fields, tennis, basketball and sand volleyball courts are a huge hit. And there’s an awesome kids’ recreation area, too: the Hang Ten Hideaway, with arcade games, arts and crafts, and a lot more. The staff are always arranging one family activity or another — whether it’s a scavenger hunt, balloon toss or a giant Jenga competition!

The property has several onsite restaurants, as well as a market with basic supplies, sandwiches and snacks. The resort can also arrange chef service or grocery deliveries to your rental house.

And when you’re ready to head off to Orlando’s nearby theme parks (Disney is about 10 miles away), the resort has a free shuttle to whisk you there.
