    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    I watched it before seeing this note. They did seem to love it, but they could have gone into a little better detail about things such as the parking situation, the Beach House, which buildings seem to offer the best marsh views (and they kept calling the marsh a "bay"), etc. Still, I posted a...

    As you can see, the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash now have pump buttons on the bottom vice pump spouts on the top. pirate: Edited to add: The containers in the shower/tub have locking mechanisms on top if any of you are worried about such things. ;)

    HHI. Best CMs anywhere. At the World, VWL (sorry, ain't calling it that other, newfangled name).

    The OP of the thread was often on our page (still visits occasionally), and when CCV was built, began the official thread. It's sort of a sister page, if you will. pirate:

    We didn't find them particularly hard or uncomfortable. Keep in mind, that they were just installed, as well, so they're going to be firmer to start. Further, I think the symmetry is still there, though perhaps not in exact alignment of items. For example, the shiplap is quite symmetrical, and I...

    VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.0) updated 21 June 2023

    Morning, Groupies! Here at the World now, though preparing to leave and head to my older daughter's home in Melbourne in a couple of hours. This is day 4 of our trip, and I thought I'd share a few nuggets with you. - Our first night was at HHI, and the new refurbishment is quite lovely. While...

    Yes, they did switch the couch and bed with the bed now closer to the balcony, and the Murphy bed sits next to the bathroom. And, yes, the coffee table top does lift to use as a table which I love (we have one at home). Does the ottoman fit with it at the right height? That I don't know, but I'd...

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    Yes. Plus, they've arranged the room a bit differently. Could they have shoved the queen bed and Murphy bed closer together? Sure, but it would've been tight. Now, they could have made the long dresser shorter and put a small table with chairs there, but I never much cared for that arrangement...

    No. But I think they're still letting guests rent those rooms. To be fair, there isn't room in the studio without making it tight, due to the fact the Murphy bed takes up a lot of space when it's pulled down. 17 is still being worked on, as well, it appeared. On a side note, when you check in...

    Here are some pictures of the elevator shaft addition to Bldg 28. Guests will have possible HA access to not only the GV but also the four 2BRs on either end as they're connected via a walkway that is similar to what is found at Bldgs 14 and 15. Top floor elevator entrance Looking down the...

    Here now! Arrived around 1245 and the studio was ready! I wasn't too surprised since those are the easiest to clean and often open up first. I was here when they did the first test rooms in Bldg 30, and I thought even then that the updated rooms were an improvement, though perhaps lacking in the...

    Duh, yeah. :blush: Obviously, I was "sleepywalking" when I read her note. pirate: That being admitted, I totally agree with your comments about the beach at HHI--absolutely gorgeous and versatile. ::yes::

    I'm not even sure what that means. ;) The Beach House has several amenities: a large pool that is heated, plenty of lounge chairs/tables, a QS/bar, games such as a pool table and corn hole, a large air-conditioned room where you can watch TV or just relax, two large bathrooms with a shower in...

    The 2BRs are equally split between the first floor and the second floor. Being that all the buildings are raised above flood level, that makes the first floor rooms between 9-12 steps depending on the building. The second story rooms are 29-32 steps up. If you don't want as many stairs, request...

    There is no bell service at the resort. As mentioned above, there are large wooden carts at various points around the resort (most located near the path entrances from parking lot to the buildings), thus it's a haul-your-own type of thing. That being said, if you're unable to move your own...

    Leaving for the World this Friday morning, and we were going to stop in Brunswick, GA, on the way down. Lo and behold, our waitlist for HHI (studio) popped up this morning! While slightly out of the way, it's still cheaper than an OOP for a hotel room, plus I used to work there so it will be...

    In an amazing stroke of good fortune, my waitlist for one night in a studio this Friday came through this morning! On the way down to the World for a short, non-park stay before visiting family in Melbourne, and I'd booked a room in Brunswick, GA, to be safe. Been on the waitlist for months for...

    Looking at Page 1, I see we're the only Groupies anywhere near the World in March. . .at least the only ones of whom I know. If anyone else is there during March (or any other time) and want me to add you to Page 1, just let me know!

    Yes, they are difficult to snag that time of year at the 7-month point. In fact, the GVs are the toughest room to get year round. They aren't completely done yet, though I believe they are getting close. The resort has 21 buildings. Of those, 19 have four 2BRs units. The only buildings that do...
