Sandy Feet - the tug board is a very reputable site. Of course there are some risks you take when you rent from anyone, but getting references and following through with them is the best way to protect yourself.
We stayed in the 2BR villa complete with full kitchen, washer/dryer, dining for 8, good size living area with tv, private patio and 2 bathrooms.
This resort is luxuriously decorated and the landscaping is extremely well maintained as is the villa. It was immaculate upon check in.
There is a huge pool, with a zero depth entry on one end for the little ones, with those water hose/squirty type things and a volleyball net in the 4ft section on the opposite end and in between there are waterfalls that my kids loved to swim under and jump through. You can bring your own floats in the pool....the deli food was excellent! We ate by the pool several times. The deli is inside the store where you can rent movies and buy groceries/snacks, etc.
There is a great playground, b.ball court, barbecues and small arcade and kids activites daily.
The location is excellent. It's on the south end of Int'l Drive diagonally across from SeaWorld. Up on the north end are tons of great restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, shops, tourist type attractions and the like.
I would stay here again with my family.
I think the rate you've got for 2 weeks is really good, considering some places are $1400. for one week.
I think owners usually have buildings 1-3 or 4 which are right by the pool and playground (there is also a quite pool behind that). We stayed in bldg 8 overlooking a big pond with ducks and frogs and short walk over a footbridge to main area/lobby/pool/store. It's a beautiful and peaceful place, lots of great photo ops too.
