I know this is a reply to an old post but I couldn't help from posting...earlier this year I also tried hard to find any information on Summer Bay and found it near impossible! For some reason it is an invisible resort!! LOL Anyway, we did stay there for nine nights in May and loved it! I was very skeptical...hadn't heard anything about it. We got an amazing rate through the Orlando Magicard. Bear in mind that Summer Bay "keeps" different peak months than that of the Magicard - but if you say you are calling on the deal from the Magicard they will honor THAT.
We had two side by side units, one for our family of five and a studio for my parents. It was very "florida"...palm trees, bright green manicured grass. I realized at the end of our trip that we were in the older section. It was still terrific. The pool was large and well landscaped, with a tiki bar and kids pool and jacuzzi. There is a zero-depth entry pool in another part of the resort...we used that later in the week since it is better for children. The rooms were clean, well-decorated, cheery...again, typical florida pastels and brights. We didn't feel like it took us much time at all to get to WDW. Really! What is an extra (maybe) 5 minutes! For the price and the comfort, it was well worth it. We will probably stay there again.
Oh! They did have beautiful separate homes with indoor pools in each home. We peeked into one, but that would not work with our 3 small children. Maybe in a few years! The playground was also good. I am normally very picky in general, I have not liked Westgate in the past and also disliked a Ramada Inn. Good luck to you, hope this may help.
