We’re staying at this resort in august it looks so nice. Your videos are great. Do you know if some of the villas are not renovated like this if so and What ones ? Thanks.
All of the St Augustine and Amelia phase units have been recently renovated. They have also renovated some of the buildings in Bella and are still working on others. I don't know the status of their progress. The design in Key West, in this video, is older but we think these units still look great. I have a playlist of a lot of the different units if you want to check int out. Thanks for watching and have a great trip! Villas Playlist; ruclips.net/p/PLu2eSHfY1FI8C77QOHNFDbzCSjJCUXOIS
Thanks for watching! Some of the Bella units have had a must smell when we checked in. They are working on renovating them though. If you are staying on a cash stay (through Marriott.com or some other booking site), they can place you in any of the different phases depending on the unit type you booked. If you are staying on an owner reservation, you will be placed in the section you reserved.
Great videos - very helpful! The Key West phase looks really nice here, I also checked out your remodel videos for St. Aug and Amelia. In your opinion, which is the best and well-kept/modern phase? We are thinking about going here in December, so I'd love to hear for you. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
The renovations in Amelia and St Augustine are newer and they are now also renovating villas in Bella. We like the renovations in Amelia and St Augustine and they seem to have a fresher look to them. We also still like Key West though. It is hard to go wrong with any of those three sections. We don't like Bella as much because they don't have ceiling fans in the master bedroom. Thanks for watching!
They used to have the dates of the pool refurbishment posted on the HUB, but I don't see it there anymore. Hope they get it finished for your trip. We will be there in November also. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the detailed tour, I love it! Its updated, modern and cozy, just like home. I will be coming down on 6/9 for a whole week. I booked the same 2 bedroom villa, 1 king and the double beds for the other room. Can I request for this same unit 'Key West' or do I need to be a timeshare holder? I booked as a regular Marriott member. Do you have any other recommendations to which buildings? Thank you
We love the Key West section. I would also point out that the rooms in St Augustine and Amelia sections have also been recently renovated. You should be fine to request any of the phases, nothing guaranteed of course. Just call the resort about a week before arrival and ask them to note your villa location requests. Thanks for watching and have a great trip!
I noticed a big difference in size of the balcony on your key west 1 bedroom tour in comparison to this one. Would you say all the 2 bedroom units have larger balconies? I’ll be staying in a 2 bedroom on my next stay and was going to request Key west. Thank you!
Thanks for watching. I don't really think there is much of a difference in the size of the patios between the larger one bedroom units and the two bedroom units. If booking a one bedroom, the only thing to watch out for is that some of them do not have a balcony at all. Though if you are booking a two bedroom, that won't be an issue and the Key West section is great.
Thank you! I had watched your tour on the 1 bedroom in key west and you commented on the small patio and it looked really tiny! Especially in comparison to this one but that is great to know some don’t have any at all! Deal breaker for me! I love your videos! You helped me find the best unit at the Sheraton Vistana Resort and we loved it! We may split our weeks between here and Cypress Harbour because we haven’t tried it there yet. Just gotta review all your videos before I decide 🤪

It is about a 10-15 minute drive, spending on traffic, to the gates of Walt Disney Word. However, WDW is a big place and the distance to any given park may be more. I suggest checking some routes on Google Maps for a better estimate of travel times. Thanks for watching! Resort Map Link - bit.ly/49fNuUs
Yeah, that is how I always referred to them until I moved to Ohio and my inlaws called the motored powered one a sweeper and the manual one was a hoky. At an old job I had in my 20s, they called the manual powered one a Bissell. Though that is a brand name but no different than how everyone calls facial tissue "Kleenex". Just interesting to see how some things can be called different things depending on where you live or who you talk to. Kinda like the Pop/Soda/Coke debate. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This will be my second time staying here in June. Love the key west 2 bedroom villa. Thank you for the video.
Awesome. Have a great trip! We love the resort and the Key West phase.

Hi. I’ve watched all your videos. You’ve never mentioned the air con. Is the air conditioning good in the villas? Thanks.
We’ve never had any issues and we like to set it cold
Greta video. Can you choose where you stay? I have read mixed reviews about this property; specifically moldy smells in some of the older units.

My home away from home. I’ll be there again next month. I hope the key west pool construction is finished

Cypress Harbour is a beautiful resort. We love it there too. So many great resort properties in Orlando to pick from!
Thanks for the walk through. Any gators in that pond?
There could be, but I have never seen one in our many trips to the resort. I suspect if they find one they have someone come out to wrangle it.
How far is it from the parks
It is about a 10-15 minute drive, spending on traffic, to the gates of Walt Disney Word. However, WDW is a big place and the distance to any given park may be more. I suggest checking some routes on Google Maps for a better estimate of travel times. Thanks for watching!

Which buildings are the newer updated ones?
St Augustine & Amelia have recently been renovated as well as some of the buildings in Bella.
We call it a vacuum, a sweeper is the thing you push arround without a motor, aka "hoky sweeper"
Yeah, that is how I always referred to them until I moved to Ohio and my inlaws called the motored powered one a sweeper and the manual one was a hoky.
