7972 Shaker Street [1]
First Negative Experience
Reviewed on 2024-05-02 by , Marshfield, WI United StatesWe have stayed at Margaritaville several times and this was the first not great stay. There were 2 dead rats on the road and sidewalk near our cottage, I understand that it's out of their control but you still don't like seeing it. Additionally, check out time is 10:00am, which I understand but we had a late afternoon flight so we were going to stay until check out time. At 9:30 we already had someone at the cottage telling us basically get out and at 9:55 they were waiting by the door to make sure. I get that they have to turn it over for the next renter. However, it made everyone feel like "we enjoyed having you here, now get out!" We visit Florida twice a year and this is the first time I've felt like maybe there's a better option in Orlando. I don't like leaving negative reviews and had emailed them just wondering if they could explain things further. Still waiting for a response...
Easter Break
Reviewed on 2024-04-04 by , NORTH COLLINS, NY United StatesOverall, the house was clean, and pictures were accurate that were online. Location was perfect for community pool and sunset walk. The only suggestions that I can give is more bath towels (ex. handtowels/washcloths/shower mats). I only had 8 people in house but there would not have been enough for 10 people. There were no dish towels neither. Also, a notice in house that states if you want the margarita pitcher, you need to ask front desk for it. We didn't know until towards the end of stay when we called front desk that ours was missing. Fitted sheets for the bed would make a huge difference also. Overall, I would stay at this rental again and would recommend to others.
Another Great Family Trip
Reviewed on 2024-01-10 by Elaine C. , United StatesThis is our second year visiting the Margaritaville Cottages and it didn't disappoint. We are a family of 6 adults. Everyone had their own space to sprawl out but still have meals together if we didn't feel like going out. The cottage had all the amenities we needed and if not we made a quick trip to Target or Publix. You can tell the cottages are very well cared for. From the kitchen to the bedrooms everything is tastefully decorated to make your stay feel like you're in paradise. The beds are very comfortable. The front desk is courteous and professional. We called ahead to see if we could check in early as our flight arrived in the early afternoon and since our cottage was ready there was no issue. We also asked to have the pool heater turned on and took advantage of the hot tub all the time.
Great place! Loved it

Our home away from home
Reviewed on 2023-05-17 by Matt B. , Greensburg, PA United StatesThis is our 5th trip to Margaritaville. Aside from our wedding night (also at Margaritaville) when we stayed in the hotel, we've always stayed in a cottage. This was our first cottage with both a pool and a hot tub and I don't think we'll ever go without it! When the resort pool gets packed on the weekends, disappear to your private retreat at 7972 Shaker. All rooms, as typical of all cottages we've stayed in, were well appointed and extremely clean. In particular to this unit, it's location is wonderful as it's only a few minute walk to the resort pool. My only complaint, and it seems this would apply to all cottages, no matter how many bedrooms every single pillow is super thick. If you're a stomach/slide sleeper, bring your own pillow or prepare to use a throw pillow from the couch, as I've done all five times now. Overall, this cottage is perfect for couples, a group of couples, or a family with kids of all ages. I'll be booking this unit again next year when we return with the kids.
Everything we could have asked for
Reviewed on 2023-02-20 by Laurel L. , North Wales, PA United StatesThe rental property was so clean, well kept, and exactly what we were looking for. The amenities at the resort plus the private hot tub and pool were all a huge bonus. We spent most of our time at disney world, but the one day we spent at the resort was one of our favorites! The drive to the Disney parks was not bad at all. The community was quiet and great for our family getaway. The lake view was also perfect. I would definitely stay again!
Kids loved the pool and spa
Reviewed on 2023-01-24 by Kevin H. , Not provided by Hotels.com, UT XXFor a large group of 8. The house worked great for us. The pool at the house was great and having the resort pool as a backup made the trip fun. Plus only 15 min drive to disney
Nice property missing too many necessities, including hot water
Reviewed on 2023-01-11 by MICHAEL S. , Not provided by Expedia, UT XXThis property was nice overall and a beautiful community. However, we did not have hot water our first day and second morning. They came to flip the breaker and it flipped again and then had to have an electrician come out the following day. Frustration was that they wouldn’t move us, wouldn’t allow access to the breaker box to flip the switch, and after two requests, have still not heard from property management regarding my request for one night refund. It is miserable to not have hot water since we were here to meet friends and business. In addition to this , there were many items missing that you would expect from a rental, such as potholders, spaghetti strainer, missing backs of remote controls, and other basics. Management of Vstays, please return my call, it’s been a week now
A plus!
Reviewed on 2022-07-23 by Kathy W. , Jacksonville, FL United StatesThe home was beautiful and immaculate! Super fun that it came with a fro zen margarita machine!! Only thing not so great, we were not aware that the kitchen didn’t have so many items. Like pot holders. If you’re planning on using the oven, bring potholders! Other than that, it was fantastic!! 5 stars across the board!!

Amazing place, great time
Reviewed on 2022-06-20 by , Littleton, CO USOur family of four, two adults and two older teen kids, had a great time and loved this rental. The layout is ideal for a family with older kids as everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. We thought we would only use the community pool but ended up only in the pool at our rental. It was incredibly clean and well stocked with towels, plates and everything else we needed.

Family Vacation
Reviewed on 2022-02-05 by , Newtown, PA United StatesWe took the grandchildren to Disney and needed a home to fit 3 families. This house was perfect. I was able to rent a crib, toddler bed and high chair from a local company. And the pool and hot tub were a perfect ending to a long day at the park.
7972 Shaker Street Review
Reviewed on 2021-10-20 by susan w. , Mooresville, NC United StatesOverall, we enjoyed our stay at 7872 Shaker Street. However, the shower in one of the bathrooms had not been cleaned. Hair was all over the tile. I reported it to the Vstays property management desk at the front office. I gave permission for the cleaning crew to enter the building to clean the bathroom. It had not been done and we went to the front desk again to inquire about it and we were told the manager said that no one could go in because the cottage was occupied. Thus, we were very dissatisfied with the customer service that we received concerning the matter.
Major property condition
Reviewed on 2021-09-24 by Donna H. , Kissimmee, FL United StatesWe had a major electrical issue that took 48 hours of our 72 hour stay to solve because the electrical box is locked in the closet. None of the outlets worked in 4 and 1/2 baths.

Fun and Close to Disney
Reviewed on 2021-03-05 by , Salem, NH United StatesNo issues. Home was nicely appointed. Had lunch one day by the resort pool, that was fun and good service. Neighbors were friendly. Resort was rather packed and a bit loud on Saturday night only, the rest of our stay was rather quiet. The only odd thing is that I could not find margarita mix anywhere on property for the machine in the home, had to drive to publix to buy some.

Needs a good cleaning
Reviewed on 2020-10-12 by Samantha B. , Aliquippa, PA United StatesWe love Margaritaville; we try to stay here at least twice a year. This property itself was nice, but, the cleanliness of it was horrible. It clearly hadn't had a good clean for a VERY long time. We got a shower and then within minutes are feet were brown from filth. There was dust just everywhere.. dead bugs all over the door to the pool.. (which I get its florida and that happens, but shouldn't that have been checked before we got there?) Bugs ALL OVER THE COUNTER in the kitchen.. so it could probably use a good spray for bugs as well. The front desk staff was AMAZING! Super friendly and professional when we checked in. My only thing was when we called for more towels and were told due to CDC guidelines we can't have anymore.. where is it in guidelines that guests can't have some extra towels? Or at least enough towels in the room to begin with so we are able to have a shower towel and a pool towel.. (also perhaps more soap for the washer since we have to do nothing but wash towels pretty much all day)When we stayed before covid, they always just put them in bags and left on our door step.. not sure how that can't be happening now? This was our first time booking through VSTAYS, and probably won't again. We did prefer to go through RENTYL.
