Kind of Frustrating at Check in
Reviewed on 2022-10-31 by , Wilton, WIL United KingdomOtherwise it was good, pool at the resort is nice, hot tub was kind of dirty (could use a good vacuum), and the unit was clean enough with decent furniture. It was conveniently located near the Disney parks with easy access.
Would I book it again, probably - just for location. But check-in and initial setup was pretty frustrating. For the sake of 25$ in extras you could make it SO much easier to use. We had plenty of dish soap, but no kidding if I book 7 days - give me 7 dishwasher pellets, some hand soap and a few pillows. Instead of making me drive to Walmart @ 2230 after a 12 hour
So I get it. It says this property isn't a hotel. But I checked in at abut 10pm after an international flight and had to go buy soap and try to find a pillow for my 9 year old. Despite the listing saying sleeps 8 and that "Properties are fully furnished properties that will include bedspreads, linens, blankets, pillows, towels, a fully equipped kitchen, TV, and furnishings unless otherwise specified." - it doesn't include pillows for the sleeper sofa. While they did provide linens during the time I went to go buy soap, they didn't provide pillows. I went to the front desk to ask and they said I could remove pillows from the bedrooms to get enough for the downstairs occupant. I asked, so what about the people that are sleeping in those bedrooms, they said there are enough pillows for 1 person per booking and they are in the upstairs bedrooms. Dude. I get it, you are making money, but wow. How cheap can you be. Put something other than a quarter size bar of soap in the bathroom and give me a few extra pillows so that when you use the sofa bed (which is INCLUDED IN THE 8 OCCUPANTS) you have pillows that you don't have to take from upstairs. The gate guards are hilarious, 2 of the 3 entrance exits have gates, the third doesn't - so it is all just for show, nothing is actually gated given you can enter from the third entrance with absolutely no security. <br/><br/>Otherwise it was good, pool at the resort is nice, hot tub was kind of dirty (could use a good vacuum), and the unit was clean enough with decent furniture.

Perfect Accomodations!
Reviewed on 2022-08-02 by Michael A. , RIVERVIEW, FL United StatesThis is our second time renting this home and we have enjoyed our stay each time. The home is clean, decorated nicely, and has plenty of space for a 4+ family. The accommodations are great and location near the pool is fantastic! The only request would be to please incorporate a Keurig coffee maker :) We did bring our own this time to help with our daily coffee consumption.

Reviewed on 2022-06-17 byLoved the location both within the resort and proximity to parks. So nice to be close to the pool and have a hot tub after day at the park. Property was clean and pictures are accurate. Would have loved a few more kitchen supplies like oven mitts and dish towels. Would highly recommend staying here.

Amazing Stay for my 40th Birthday
Reviewed on 2022-06-08 by Natasha A. , Not provided by A-Travelocity, UT XXAt first I was a little discouraged because the front desk lady was confused and sent me over to Hotel room desk and I waited in that line to be told I was supposed to be over at the Cottages Rental line, but on my itinerary it stated V-Stays and that is line I was originally to only be told again that I was in the wrong line, but the woman from the Cottages Rental walked me over to the confused lady and explained that I am in fact booked under V-Stays cottages. Another young lady had to come up to the desk to take over my reservation process because the other lady was so confused. Me and my family & friends Loved our cottage and really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was immaculate, the beds were comfortable, the house was so clean and smelled so fresh. We loved the private hot tub, all the amenities and accommodations that the resort offered were outstanding from the valet holding our luggage until we were able to check-in early and allowing us to store our luggage with them and use the lockers for our personal items while we had an amenity key to still enjoy the resort while we waited to until it was time for our late flight back to Texas. We had a ball, I am so glad I chose to celebrate my 40th Birthday at your resort, we will be back and we are excited to visit more Margaritavilles across the globe!

More than we anticipated, amazing!!!
Reviewed on 2022-03-16 by , JACKSONVILLE, FL, FL USJust returned from 4 nights as this amazing cottage. We planned well and had all the food we needed for our stay. The kitchen had everything you needed. The place was immaculate from top to bottom. We also loved having the hot tub after a long day of walking at the park. We didnt even realize we were so close to the pool and having the gym and playground at the back porch was another great surprise. The pools were amazing also along with the hotel lobby and the restaurants. Only a few easy miles to Disney. We are already looking a summer calendar for another stay. The only thing I will say that took some getting used to was three floors and three flights of stairs, but we got used to it and going out on the balcolny at top floor made up for that. Look forward to seeing you all again real soon. Cheers!!

The space was clean and large enough to give everyone privacy. We were steps from the main pool and enjoyed going there on the sunny days. We walked through sunset walk and other areas of residential homes, admiring the different colors and sizes .We enjoyed listening to the music after dinner in the main bar area. Lunch and beverages at the pool were enjoyed. We will definitely return.

We rented the cottage with our family of 5, all 3 kids had their own bed which was the absolute best feature. Extended family was able to visit on Thanksgiving all 7 enjoyed the fully catered dinner, which couldn't have been done better. Nothing better than relaxing by the pool, drinking a margarita awhile someone else is cooking the turkey & stuffing!<br/><br/>Everything was perfect, renting this cottage is on our list sometime in the future.
