Phases

The Retreat was built in three phases:

Phase One:

Single-family homes with 4-8 bedrooms in a Tuscan-influenced Mediterranean style, with taupe and earth-tone stucco, terracotta-colored barrel tile roofs, and stacked-stone accents.

Phase Two:

Mediterranean-style elevations similar to Phase One, finished in a lighter white and grey palette with grey barrel tile roofs and stone veneer. The 4 and 5 bedroom houses were dropped, and the 5-bedroom “Alexander” and 6-bedroom “Majesty” single-garage villas and the 5-bedroom “Royal” and 4-bedroom “Sable Palm” townhouses were added.

Phase Three:

Contemporary elevations with low-slope roof lines, smooth white and grey stucco, dark stone accents, and flat-panel garage doors. Phase Three keeps most Phase Two floor plans, with some renamed and garage-converted (Gatsby, Santiago, Buchanan), and has its own water park.

Floor Plans

Houses

The 8-bedroom “Maui” was revolutionary for its size and layout when first released. It later became “The Gatsby” in phase three when Lennar converted the garage into a usable space to make it even more desirable as a short term rental home.
The 6-bedroom “Fiji” is regarded as one of the most popular vacation home floor plans in the market of its size with its two additional “social” areas, one downstairs and one up. The Fiji was renamed the “Santiago” in phase three.
Also included is the 6-bedroom “Cayman”, a slightly smaller house than the “Fiji” but has the benefit of having two downstairs bedrooms as opposed to the Fiji’s one.
Less popular were the 7-bedroom “Luau”, the 4-bedroom “Aruba” and 5-bedroom “Bali” floor plans.
In phase three, the 7-bedroom “Buchanan” was added. The Buchanan was a “Luau” but had the benefit of having the garage space converted to livable space similar to that of the Maui / Gatsby.

Villas

In phase 2 and phase 3, Lennar introduced the very popular one car garage floor plans that had been extremely successful in short term rental resort Paradise Palms, the 5-bedroom “Alexander Palm” and the 6-bedroom “Majesty Palm”. These options came in at a lower price than the larger homes and made an excellent choice for buyers budget between the house and townhouses.

Townhouses

Also brought from Paradise Palms for phase two and three, Lennar added the popular 5-bedroom “Royal Palm” and 4-bedroom “Sable Palm” floor plans.

Condos

Lennar added 2-3 bedroom condos in phase 3.

The resort has three gated entrances, two are manned and gated with 24 hour security. One is electronically gated.

Is ChampionsGate a good investment for vacation rentals?

ChampionsGate The Retreat is a popular short-term-rental resort, largely because of its large floor plans and full amenity package. Many homes come with a second social area or theater room, large, well-appointed kitchens, and good bedroom-to-bathroom ratios, and most pool areas include a full-length lanai and hot spa.

Rental results vary by property, ownership, management, and time of year, so one home’s history is not a reliable guide to another. A better approach is to gather potential nightly rates and occupancy from comparable listings on Airbnb and VRBO, then enter them along with your expected costs into our Short Term Rental Property Calculator to estimate cash flow and return. Results are estimates that depend on accurate input, so confirm them with a qualified accountant. For help running the numbers on a specific home, contact The Jerry Barker Group at 407.286.8170.

Does ChampionsGate have a golf course?

Yes, the golf course at ChampionsGate is a public course and can be played by anyone. There are also two additional golf courses that run in conjunction to the Lennar ChampionsGate course that are administered by the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate that are also public, so guests and owners have the option to play three extremely good golf courses.
