Back from refurbed OKW GV . . .

[SusieBea]

We returned today from 7 nights in a refurbished GV at OKW - 4823. They are currently working in the South Point area; in fact, the bus stop had been relocated temporarily to an area in front of our building. At check in, the CM told us that the next area of work would be bldgs. 11-14 because there had been some complaints/concerns that none of the Hospitality area had been done.

Our unit was in wonderful shape, of course. I really didn't mind as much of the redecorating as I thought I would EXCEPT FOR the dark head boards. The roman shades in the living room are very nice as is the braided rug. The new sleeper chair looks much nicer in person. You can't see the nuance on the fabric in the pictures which have been posted. It's comfy to sit in, but no one slept on it, so I can't comment on that. I DO like the carpet they put in the bedrooms.

Also, it seems like some of the foliage has been cut back making the views more accessible.

I'll be glad to answer any questions that I can.

I have a couple.. I have never stayed at OKW. But a grand villa would be my first stay there if I can ever get one. First, did you by chance have a golf course view? Are any GV's overlooking the golf course?

I am assuming all GV's are on the top floor? Did you hear anyone upstairs in your villa?

Our unit was on the second and third floors of a three floor building. I believe most GVs are situated this way except the few handicap accessible GVs which would be on the 1st & 2nd floors.

We had a lovely golf view of the fairway on the fourth hole. I believe almost all GVs have a golf or golf/water view. Here is a link to a coded OKW map showing the buildings in which the GVs are located. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g303/GDuLong/OKWMap-January2008.jpg

Would September be a good month to try and get a GV at 7 mos? How was the bus service overall?

I think of all months, September might be the best to try at seven months. The bus service was fine. Probably the longest we waited at the bus stop or at a park was 15 minutes, if that.
